In August, 1018, he went south to Bon Bon to pa,int a portrait of Marshal Foch. Sir William said: | "There was the great little man, deep in the study of his maps, very calm, very quiet ... he 'sat' like a lamb.-except that his pipe upset him. It seems that some of his English friends thought that he was smoking too many cigars and they had given him a pipe and tobacco anil asked him to smoke it instead.

I would not like to be up against him, yet in certain ways he was a dreamer and a poet in thought. "Balfour came in for a sluing at about 12.15.

Source Geographical. Though the origin of this family name, which Is the name of one of the Highland clans of Scotland, Is not Gaelic at aJl, most ot those who bear the name are descendants of Gaels, with blood that originally came from Ireland. The exact racial classification of the Lowland Scottish has never been set- tled with finality. That they were or- iginally a Teutonic, rather than a Cel- tic, race, is certain, but they have never been definitely placed as be- longing to the Germanic (like the An- glo-Saxons) or the Scandinavian (like the Norse) branch of that gre-at racial division. There is very good philo- logicul evidence that the Scottish dia- lect (which. Incidentally, is not the language of the Highlanders but of the Lowlandera) Is not a corruption of English, as is commonly supposed, but e development independent of it, from a tongue dissimilar neither to the an- cient Saxon nor Norse. It has. how- ever, been complicated by the in- fluence of the neighboring English through all periods. However, the nanu of Chisholm (note the Saxon ending, which means a meadow land) was the name of the home of the Lowland family which founded the Highland clan, gathering its followers from among the Gaels. The name, as first recorded, was spelled "Chishelme." This was in the fourteenth century, in about the mid- dle of which the acquisition of High- land territory and the formation of the clan is placed. Nothing is more common in child- hood than indigestion. Nothing IB more dangerous to proper growth, more weakening to the constitution or more likely to pave the way to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine-tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root in indigestion. There is no medicine for the little ones to equal Baby's Own Tablets In relieving this trouble. They have proved of benefit in thousands of homes. Concerning (hem Mrs. Jos. Lunette, Immaculee Conception, Que., writes: "My baby was a great sufferer from indigestion, hut tho Tablets soon set her right and now I would not be without them."

On March 20 occurred the sixty- ninth anniversary of the publication iu hook form of Harriet Beecher Stowe's deathless story. "Uncle Tom's Cabin." And it still lives, both in thu uineina and on the speaking stage. You know, of course, that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was first published ser- ially in the National Em, and that Mrs-. Stowe was paid $300 for her ef- fort. Had It not been for a young Boston publisher, J. P. Jewett, who took the risk in its book publication in 1S53, the famous characters of the story would have b&en unknown to fame. He arranged publication en a 10 per cent, royalty basis. Its success was astounding. Before long eight presses wore running to keep puce with the demand. Thc<ugh slavery may be dead, the story of "T'ncle Tom's Cabin" will per- si.-t. and iho .sculs of Uncle Tom and Little Eva, lika that of John Brown, will go marching on. -- * - MONEY ORDERS.

The average time a normal healthy man <ir woman can keep in the breath after a deep inspiration varies from forty to fifty seconds. Persons suffering from c-hrnnie bron- chitis cannot hold their breath longer than twenty-one seconds ; consump- tives, only fourteen seconds. Where tho lungs or the heart are affected the period during which the breath cau voluntarily be huld de- creases in proportion to the gravity of the trouble. Tho fuel that one cannot hold ono'a breath for long, however, doesn't necessarily imply deficient lung power. Many persons who can inhale a large volume of air are quite incap- able of holding the breath for a nor- mal period of time. Mlnard'i Llnlmirt tor DandruK. Mlnurd'H Liniment Co., Limited. Sirs.
