Surnames and Their Origin BRBNTWOOD. Variation Brantwood, Racial Origin English. Source A local name. Those who ar at all familiar with the eo-oalled Scottish dialect should bave no great difficulty In penetrating the original meaning of this surname. The name, however, Is not neces- sarily Scottish. It la a fact not gener- ally known that this so-called Scottish dialect is by no means a dialect of English or In any sense a corruption of English speech, but Is, In reality, a full-fledged tongue In ltalf, coming down to a straight line from th Anglo- Saxon and Danish tongues, which were spoken In tb north of England and the ScottlSihi lowlands pjrior to the Norman Invasion. It Is also a tongue In which the Anglo-Saxon strain Is purer than in modern English, the majority of Its word* showing less change from the old Anglo-Saxon pell- lag and pronunciation. Thu* tfe Scottish word for "burned" tr "burnt" Is closer to the old Anglo- Saxon "brnnan" than Is the modern English word. And It is from this j word "brvnnan' that the first element j In this family name comes. Brent- wood simply mean* "burnt wood." The principal place of t! at name, however, happen* to be In Bsacx, tar from Scot- land, and the explanation k that it re- ceived Its name before the Anglo- Saxon form of the word changed. KERSTED. Variation Kiersted, KJersted. Racial Origin Danish and English. Source A locality. As an English product, this family nme traces back through the nnme of a place to the days when the hosts of the Danes overran the entire north- eastern section of England. The eastern coast cf No-rth England and the Scottish Lowlands are marked to-day by many names of panisfr origin, and there is no small proportion of Danish blood In the people who have . dwit in these sections for many cen- j turles. And, as might be expected, a search of the records of the old towns ; and parishes In these sections brings to light a fairly heavy proportion of family names- which trace either di- : rectly or indirectly to Danish sources. | Kiersted was a place name before It was a family name. Therefore It does ! not necessarily Indicate that those who bear it have any Danish blood In their veins, though It is not unlikely that they have. The place name is taken from two Danish words, "kier" . and "sled," the former meaning a "place," "village" or "town," literally a place where men dwell.

Torches or lighted s.plin- ters placed In holders of stone or clay. 300 B.C. Lamps, made of brass or bronze, became highly artistic. 50 B.C. Romans used rushes soaked In greas forerunners of the candle. 300 A.D. Phoenicians Introduced candles in Constantinople. 400 to 1700 A.D. The candle, tallow or wax, vies with Ir.mps and lanterns. 1700 Oil lamps, with wicks, began to be used. 1780 Oil lamps were equipped with round wicks and glass chimney. 1800 Gas lighting perfected, but candle still most universal light. 1850 Discovery of petroleum, revol- utionizing oil lamp lighting. 1879 Edison, apostle of light, pro- duces incandescent electric lamp. 1885 Auer Von Welsbach produced incandescent gas mantle. 1895 Incandescent electric lights made with carbon filament, in growing use. 1922 Incandescent electric light, us- ing Tungsten filament, in high state of perfection.

We all know the man and wo- man In business who, somehow, never ern to succeed at any- thingnever get on. What's the matter with them? Are they unlucky, or Is It that their hearts are not in their work? Some people expect mastery without apprenticeship, know- ledge without study, wealth with- out work. Thy live In dreams and reveries and vain regrets for the past, never grappling with t!.e pretcent and making the most of it. They waste their time and energy, and weaken their Initia- tive, by constantly forming plans and resolutions' which tbey never carry out. They have no strong purpose running through their lives, the one thing which can unify and give strength and meaning to thnlr faculties. They think that If they only keep on working, even if they have no definite goal In view, thy will, somehow, arrive at success*. They are af rala of the new, the untried. They want other people to do the experimenting, while they get into ruts and cling to the old, the conventional, and the out-of-date. These are a few reasons why some, don't get on. f HAD TO FIGHT TO GET HIS BREATH Reed Declares Gases Were So Bad He Nearly Choked at Times. "The best I can say is not half good enough for Tanlac," states Frederick E. Reed, 2S6 Roxborough Ave., Hamil- ton, Ont, well-known business man. "Last winter grippe and tonbllitis confined me to my home for weeks and left me so thin and frail it looked like I could never get back to my business again. I would choke up with gas until I had to fight for breath, was so nauseated I could scarcely retain a thing, and pains In my stomach and sides would doublo me up. I could scarcely sleep a wink, and my hands were so trembly I couldn't even ar- range my tie. "However, the Tanlac treatment suited my case so well It ended my troubles, Increased my weight, and fixed me up to where I felt as fine as I ever did. I feel right all the time now, and haven't missed a day from my business since I ftnls'bad the treat- ment. Tanlac has no equal." Tanlac Is for sale by all good drug- gists. Take no substitute.

Seated on the deck of the ocean liner, the cartoonist amused himself by drawing pictures of the different pas- sengers. A few months before he had been employed ou a Chicago news- paper; now, a professional cartoonist ( no longer, he was on his way to the i Philippines, a missionary of the gos- j pel. His vision had been as swift as < had been bright. A number of notable people were making the trip, and among them were the captain of an American battleship and three or four millionaires with- their wives-. One of the women, be- coming enthusiastic over the cartoon- ist'.* ability, ae-ked him whether he would draw a picture of her husband. The cartoonist complied graciously, and while he was at work the wife of the captain watched with interest. "Oh," she exclaimed at last, "I sup- pose you are one of our great Ameri- can artists on your way to the Philip- pines for new ideas! What a wonder- ful tihiing it Is to be so gifted! I sup- pose you make barrels of money?" "No, madam," the cartoonist replied, "I am going to the Philippines an a missionary. I have given up my career as an artist." The woman regarded him first in astonishment, then with reproach. "The very idea!" sJie exclaimed. "To think of a young man like you with all of your ability throwing his life away on a lot of worthless heathen. I can hardly believe you're serious! Really you are Joking, uren't you?" Eight years passed, and the cartoon- ist and hil* wife were sailing for home on doctor's orders, for the climate had I proved too much for the woman. The i lives of both were wrapped up in their j work; It was hard for them to leave . tho natives, who had come to depend on them, but there was no help for it. A great crowd of Filipinos came to tho dock to see the missionaries off. Tears were running down the faces of many of them. Ail were sad and made j no efforts to hide their feelings. As ; the steamer pulled out thousands of hands waved the missionaries gocd-by. The cartoonist and his wife stood j silent together on the deck; their eyes were wet, and their throats felt tight and strange. If the captain's wife had witnessed that scene, would she have I said that the cartoonist'* life was wasted? Butterflies' Eye Spots. What do the eye spots on butter- flies' wings mean The naturalists say frankly, "We do not know." It is thought that these eye spots may have some utilitarian application. They form one of the most intricate of all natural designs. The fact that butterflies have been captured with their eye spots pierced, as If from the attack of birds, ha* been used as an argument la favor of the view that they must be "protective markings," Imitating eyes', because birds strike at the eyes of their vic- tims. But this suggestion is hardly regard- ed as satisfactory. Among butterflies the most striking examples of eye spots are found on the under surface of the wing*. Agreeable.

What Music the Boys and Girls Wanted to Study. With the assistance of the Rotary Club and other public-epirited bodies, plans were made In a small city to give the children of the masses instruction In music at a nominal cost by uu>ans of music classes in connection with the schools-.

Wien asked the particular kind of music study they would like to take up the pupils in one school re- ported as follows*, according to a cor- respondent In Musical America: 101 for violin, 58 for piano, 57 for singing, 32 for corntt, 11 for drums, 10 for man- dolin, 8 for saxaphone, 2 for guitar, 2 for 'cello, 2 for clarinet, 2 for ukulele, 4 for trombone.
