PAIN IN THE JOINTS Smuames and Their Or^ ALTER. Vavlatlons â€" Alders, Alder, Warns, Warnes. Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" A locality. There is a peculiar thing to be noted about the relationship of ^ven and family names. The tise to which we put them has been reversed since the early period in which surnames began to cryatalire Into hereditary family names. OriflDaUy a man had but one name, and this was sufficient to distinguish him from his feliowa. Eventually, hawever, men began to double up on names. Too many men bore the same name. So the deecriptive surname was called Into play, to distinguish. tor instance, John of the alder trees from John at town's end .Townsend). The given name was the principal name,, the surname merely modifying It. But to-day. except among close friends and relatives, we do the re- Terse. Instead of speaking of John, and then adding jsomething to sjiow whitdi John we mean, we E<peak of Alter or Townsend, using the given name to show which member of the Alter or Townsend family we mean. "Wame" (when it was not a cor- ruption of "warren") was but another name for the alder tree. In its original nse as a somame it was preceded by "atte" ("at the") or "de la" ("of the") might have been used either in â- Incular or plural form, according to the local landmark which happened to indicate the place of residence of the Individual bearer. SNOW. Racial Origin â€" Dutch. Source â€" A nickname. You might well be forgiven for lump- ing at the conclusion that this family name is derived In some fashion from , one word "snow" â€" that it meant or- j iglnaUy one who dwelt in a snowy â-  section or something like that. I The conclusion, however, is wrong. "Snow" has nothing to do with the family name, except that the similari- ty of sound has finally accomplished a similarity of spelling. I The name is of Dut<^ origin, and its , present form ie but an Angliclssd I spelling of "Snoo." It was inevitable that such a change of spelling shoold occur once a Hollander bearing this I name should settle in an English- speaking community. The p«t>per pro- 1 nunciation of "Snoo," of course, is "sno." The "oo" in Dutch wae not I pronounced as we pronounce the doub- led letter in "root." To save himself from that pronuiHSiation the man would change the speHisg, if the change were not actoidly forced on him by people who baving heard bis pronunciation of it would insist on spelling it "Snow." The original Dutch torm of the sur- name was "de Snoo." HtvraHy '^Ifea wise." in the sense of "the foxy" or "thee keen." clever one. Is An Indication That the Blood ; is Thin and Waterj'. ; ! The first sign of rheumatism is fre- quently a pain and swelling of one of the joints. If this is not treated through the blood, which is the seat of the disease, the poison spreads, affect- â- â-  ing other Joints and tissue* â€" some- times rheumatism attacks the heart and is fatal. A remedy that has corrected many cases of rheumatism is Dr. Williams' : Pink Pills. These pills enrich and purify the blood so that the poisonous j r'-'^'maric matter is driven out of the syatem as nature Intended. Miss Ger- ; tie Denne, Washago, OnL, was attack- ed with rheumatism and found relief through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She ; says: â€" "About a year ago I was at- tacked by rheumatism and for two weeks was confined to my bed. The ; trouble was so painful, affecting the Joints of my limbs so that I could not stand alone. Mother had a box of Dr. Williams' Pink PIllc in the house and thought they might help me. I began taking them, and when 1 had taken these pills got a further supply, with the result that the rheumatism van- ished and I was a well girl. I may add that my mother and two of my sisters have also ased the pills for various ail- ments with equal success, and now we are never without them In the house." If you are suffering from any con- dition due to poor, watery blood, or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil- liams' Plsk PlUs now, and note how your strength and health will improve. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, at 50 cents a box, from Tfae Dc WlUlams.' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. A Great Discovery. It has been said tliat Ellas Howe al- most beggared him.self before he dis- covered where the eye of the sewing machine needle should be '.ooated. His original idea was to follow the model of the ordinary needle, which has the eye at the heel. The plan would not do. and he puzzled and worked with- out success. One night he dreamed that he was building a sewing ma- chine for a savage king In a savage country. He thought the king gave him twenty-four hours to complete the machine and make it sew. If not finished In that time death was to be the punishment. He anally gave it up and he dreame<i that he was taken out and executed. He noticed that the warriors carried spears that wer: pierced through the head, and Instant- ly came a solution of the lilfflculty. He suddenly awoke, and running to his workshop, modeled a needle with an eye at the point. » Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little one-^ she always keeps a supply on hand, for the first trial convinces her there Is nothing to equal them In keeping children well. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regniate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving oat constipation and indigestion, colds and simple fevers and making teeth- ing easier.

Which Is the luckiest day on which to get married? In France, the first Friday in the montli is considered the luckieet day on which to celebrate the great event, but in other countries Friday is re- gardd ae a most unlucky day. In Scotland superstition concerning weddings runs not so much to the day M to the various little deeds which Migur well or Ml for the married couple. A Scottish bride may look for happiness if she is carried across the ttixeshold of her new home, after an oatcake has been broken over her he«d. But w^oe betide her if the oat- cake should be broken by mistake â€" w foul design! â€" over some one else's head. In tte HIghlande it is considered un- lucky for a dog to pass between the bridal couple on their way to the eburch. The bride should be driven by gray horses, and her bridegroom should wear no buckle or fastening on his left shoe. Formerly there was a custom of •boe-tbrowlng whicb was supposed to foretell who would be the next couple to celebrate their wedding day. After the departure of a bride and bride- groom the single men and girls formed into groups, and wben the aboe was thrown from one group It was the first I member of the opposing group to I catch it who was destined to be the ; next victim of Cupid's coils.

There is a creature living to-day whose "family history" can be traced back ftor eight million years-! This is the siHiendon, by far the oldest species of living thing that we know. i The sphenedon Is found on a tiny island off the coast of New Zealand. ' There is nothing quite like it any- where else. The sphenedon is a rep- tile and Is a mixture of crocodile, snake, turtle, and lizard. .\s a mat- ter of fact. It Is probably the ancestor of all these cheatures, but in the pro- cess of evolution through countless ages, the "children" have altered and i split up into a hundred and one dif- ferent "families." The sphenedon, â-  however, has gone on Its way un- j changed and Is exactly as it was eight i million years ago! ' This prehistoric creature shows â-  greatest similarity to the lizard. It has four short less and a long tall. Its ' face Is rather like that of a fish and i there is a hard ridge on the top of its ; head and down its back. j The dinosaur and other prehistoric animals are of quite recent date com- pared with the sphenedon. It is gener- i ally supposed that the dinosaur dis- appeared off the earth a mere three niiUion years ago! Hon.

The Cubans hava a domestic utensil called a "water monkey." that Is to be found in houses, hotels, and offices. It answers the .same purpose as the olla and the clay jugs in Mexico. It is made of gray porous clay, and Is maniifactured In Ms'aga. "where the raisins come from." By abeorptlon and evaporation a blanket of cool air surrounds the Jug continually and keeps the water almost as cold as if :t contained ice. In a country where ice is both scarce and expensive these jugs are indispene^ble. Tho water monkeys have two aper- tures, one about the size of a dollar, thrtMigU which the water is poured in- to a glass. On the opposite side is a protuberance with a small hole run- ning through it. From this the ex- perienced Cuban drinks without touch- ing It to his lips. When about to drink he holds it two or three inches from his mouth. Into which the tiny stream of water pours. Gradually and slowly he lifts the monkey away from him until it is almost as arms length, the water continuing to flow from the monkey down his throat. Occasional- ly the drinker gulps, and when his thirst has been satisfied be returns the monkey toward his mou;h. than sud- denly tips it up. shuttixig oft Uie â- tream.

Red in the morning ts the shejh herd's warning." This is the old English rhyme, b«l the idea It exprea<>es is known in near- ly every country ;n the world. Eveo the ancient Egyptians and Greeks had sayings similar to the above. Piurther- more. It Is tcientiflcally true. Red sk'ee are reallv weather forecasts. If the atmosphere is clear in th« evening or morning the aun's light is red. because the blue, of which the or- dinary white light of the sun is .nad* up has been absorbed by the great length of atmosphere througlt which the siantiDg rays of the sun have to pass.
