The following family Hames are all developments of the given name of Bartholomew, a name the sound and 1y lent itself to violent variations from the original form, particularly when it is remembered that in the Middle Ages the individual writer came pretty near to spelling as he pleased. As a given name Bartholomew is of Hebrew origin. Like other Biblical names, it was widespread in medieval England, where the Anglo-Saxon trend toward short forms of namés, however, brought jt down to the popular form of "Bat."

PERKINS Variations -- Pierce, Pierson, Peters, Parkins, Park, Parr. Racial Origin--Medieval English. Source--A glven name, Perkins, with its many variations, is a surname' which takes-its origin from the given name of Peter. In some of these names the Anglo- Saxon Influence can be traced, and in others that of the Norman French, { while in still others there is nothing to distinguish which influence pre: dominated. Peter, as a Christian name, was one of the most popular throughout Eur ope in the early days when the re- ligious authority of Rome was recog- nized universally in all lands, owing to the prominence of St. Peter as the chief of the apostles and the founder of popes. Later, after the Reforma- tion, it lost somewhat of its popu- larity, though it was far too wide- i spread by that time to be eliminated lag a given name. By this time, also, its crystallization into various family names was well under way: Perking (Peterkin's son) is stamped with Anglo-Saxon Influence in the diminative ending "kin." The "k" in other variations Is a remnant of this. The softer Pierce shows the French influence, and finds somewhat of a counterpart in the names of Plerre and Percy. In many sections of Hng- land there is a tendency, and always has been, to pronounce "er" like "ar." Hence Parking, and finally Park, de- veloped from Perkins. ded.

It was 'not until ten years had elapsed that further efforts were made to link England and America by cable, the work being carried out by the Great Eastern.

WORK-WORN WOMEN Care of Home and Children Of- _ ten Caus®s a Breakdown. The woman &t home, deep in' house- hold dutfes and the cares of mother- hood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health. The demands upon a mother's health are many and severe. Her own health trials and her child- ren's welfare exact neavy tolls, while hurried meals, broken rest and much indoor living tend to weaken her. No wonder the woman at hom is often indisposed through weakness, head- aches, backaches and nervousness. Too many women accept these visita- tions as a part of the lot of mother- hood. But many and varied as her health troubles are, the cause is sim- ple and relief at hand. When well, it is the woman's good blood that keeps her gvell; when {ll she must make her blood rich to renew her health. The nursing mother more than any other woman needs rich blood"and plenty of it. There is one way to get this good blood so necessary to health, and that is 'through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These enrich the blood, and through their use many weak, ail- ing wives and mothers have been benefitted. If you are ailing, -eastly tired or deprecsed, {t is a duty you owe yourself and your family to give Dr. Willfams* Pink Pills a fair trial, You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 60c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co.; Brockville, Ont. A Broken Bowl. One of the most extraordinary cases of what may be called an accidental invention is that of the lifeboat. A man named Wouldhave was out walk- ing one day when he was asked by an old woman to help her lift a can of water which she had filled by means of a broken wooden bowl, _ The bowl was floating on the sur- face of the water, and as he talked to the woman, Wouldhave turned it over with his finger. It fmmediately right- ed itself. Amused by its antics, he re- peated the performance; then ft struck him that he had made a won- derful discovery. The result of his chance meeting was the self-righting lifeboat, which was designed by him on the lines of the wooden bowl. 'What he had discovered was that anything made of floating material and shaped like one half of a basin could float only with fts convex surface downwards. A boat made on these lines cannot remain upside down for more than an instant when it is turn- ed 'over by @» heavy sea.

It 1s a matter of interest to note the relative esteem in which Cana- dlans hold increase of Canadian popu- lation by immigration and increase by natural processes. Although every- where lip service 18 given to the principle of healthy incréase of Ca- nadian population by natural pro- cesses we find, if we consider our position frankly and from a detached viewpoint, that we are actually bend- ing more effort to attract outsiders to our country than to the more im- portant duty of making it possible for our own Canadian families to in- crease in healthy normality. Federal appropriations for the promotion of immigration projects are a great deal larger than the combined provincial appropriations for the conservation of health--a fact, for which no one but the people of Canada themselves are to blame. Important as our immigration prob- lems are, it is undoubtedly more im- portant that our problems of maternal and infant welfare be given full, im- mediate, and continuous attention. In the first place, we find that our ma- ternal death rate, although lower than that of the United States, Is higher than that of England and Wales, higher" than that of Norway, higher than that of a good number of coun- tries which have given serious thought to the welfare of their. eiti- zen mothers. ,Our Canadian maternal deaths for 1922 were more in num- ber than similar deaths for 1921. And the tragic, yet hopeful, feature of the situation is that a large percentage of these deaths--a great deal more than half of them--were preventible. Scientific knowledge has progressed to an advanced point, so that it is now possible to say, "If men and women are given the information easily available, and if there is careful super- vision during pregnancy, and proper attention during and after delivery, the maternal death rate of any coun- try will diminish almost to the van- ishing point." Our problem in this genération, then, has become one of disseminating knowledge, of insisting ofi the observ- ance of the simple yet vital rules of hygiene, and of providing adequate care of the expectant mother and of the mother who has already given birth to a child. If there were to develop a strong popular demand that these necessary conditions be met, we should soon discover that our Provin- cial Departments of Health could ex- tend their activities so as to reach each most ignorant and helpless par- ent in our crowded citiés, and each most remote and fearful mother in isolated rural districts. What has been done already? The Federal Department of Health at Ottawa has prepared a booklet for mothers, available to any parent who wishes information. It describes simply and briefly the important things which' every expectant mother It tells also how fo care A whole should' do. for a 'very young infant. COLD IN THE HEAD? Get quick relief.

But yet we are losing about five mothers out of every thousand who give birth to a child, and for no rea- son at all except that our mothers have not been taught to observe simple health rules, or they have not! received proper oare before, during and after delivery, The remedy lies in our own hands. It ig to be found in a demand for increased appropria- tions for health work by provincial governments and a determination to keep on extending government and voluntary maternity welfare schemes until every family in Canada is within reach of proper help. Norway has reduced her maternal mortality from 8 per 1,000 to 2.3 per 1,000. Canada can reduce her ma- ternal mortality from 6 per 1,000 to 2 per 1,000 if Canadians insist on it, annually, el eee.
