Racial Origin Scottish. Source A given name. The Gaelic form of name* of the Highland clan from which these family names are derived Is "Clann Mhic i Ftlonghain." It is apparently one of the oldest of i Highland clans, belonging as it does j to that group of clans which had their origin in the ancient Clan Alpine, no longer existent as such, and tracing back to Keoneth MacAlpin. whose pro- genitors came over from Ireland with the Dal r ladle Scots, and who became the first king of a united Scotland. The i chieftain from whom the clan takes its name was Flagon, : grandson of Gre- KIT, who was a son of this king. The clan name appears in various ancient : documents wiftten tn other tongues than Gaelic 11* "MacFingon." MacFIn- ' non" ami "Macklnnon," the last named spelling having become the dominant one in morf modern times. In the uprising of 1715 the clan was out for the Stuarts. The forms MacKinney and MacKin- nlng are variations developed in the | lowland nmong members of the clan who settjled there. In KlMtyre the name became Mac- Kinven.. whence developed a fanciful rendering in Gaelic, owing to the simi- larity At sound, of Madonmhulnn (pro- nounced "Mac-Invin"), wbleh In turn has /been Anglicized by its fanciful meaiiing into Loveson or Love. | LESLIE. Racial Origin Scottish. Source A locality. The family name of Leslie is a clan name of the Scottish Highlands, but it originated far from the Highlands, In Hungary. The story of the wanderings of the original Leslie, in the eleventh cen- tury, from his own barony beyond the^ Hungarian frontier, through the num- erous small and violent political units into which Europe was divided In those days, to the coast of Flanders, followed by his embarkation for Scot- land and final establishment In the favor of the Scottish king, must have made a striking romance. Unfortune- ( ately only these meagre facts have been pr?-?rved. Bartholomew de Leslyn came to f Scotland from Flanders, using as his , surname ths name of the fortress In Hungary over which he had been over- lord. It was Malsolm de "Leslie." a des- cendant, who founded tie Highland clan bearing that name. This Mal- colm had retained the honors won by his fatter at the court of tte Scottish kings, and bad added to them. Many of the Highland clans were thus found- ed by "foreigners," who gathered about them followers of Gaelic blood, and who usually ended, as was the case in Ireland, by becoming more Gaelic than ' the Gaels themselves. The clan lands in Rothes. Ballen- ! breic-h and Fife were acquired in the thirteenth century by marriage. Orchids. To-day. In an Old Folks' Home, I saw a little, old lady. Rare a a wtoter violet.

Until recently It was thought thai the moon was a cold worn-ant world with no sign of life upon its surface. ' But astronomers of today are inclined to believe that 11ft of some kind ma/ exist on oar suteiite. A short time ago an observer who was studying one of th moon's vol- canoes through: a buge telescope was amazed to see clouds of smoke and steam coming from it. He was actual- ly witnessing an eruption in a crater ; which scientists believed to have been ! cold and dead for countise thousands of years. So Interested was h that he kept a I very careful watch on other parts of i the moon's surface. Was any change taking place? He began to suspect i Bcmethicg; then as night followed ' night he became convinced that there was a gradual slight alteration in the coior of certain parts, which could be due to only one cause the growth of vegetation. Three things are necessary for life to be possible: air, water, and warmth. Volcanic activity Is a proof of the existence of heat. The moon has no atmosphere as dense as ours, but it Is believed that she may have a narrow surrounding envelope of very thin air, which would be sufficient to maintain simple forms of vegetable life.

Linen from Lilies. It Is surprising how many of tt) manner* and products of the Stone : Age have, after centuries of disuse, sprung into prominence again. Linen, made previously from flax, has for many years been growing dear- ' er and scarcer, in proportion as the J flax plant has become rarer and more j difficult to cultivate. This material was used for wrapping purposes before i the days of the Pbaraohs. i Flax is the oldest of all cultivated i fibre plants and until the growth of | the cotton industry In the United I States superseded It, It was by far the ! most Important of the world's fibre crops. Before the war. th raw material cost about $160 a ton, whereas to-day It to priced at anything from $500 to $750. The enormous demand for linen j made It imperative that a substitute' for flax should bfe found, and a vigor- 1 ous search resulted In the adoption of the flax lily, found in great abundance in New Zealand. This plant was Introduced Into Kng , land as a garden flower more than half a century ago. It was fomul eaay to propagate by reason of Its bulbous ; roots, which are easily divisible. Then the leaves were found to be fibrous. ' and experiments yielded string and cord. Later, the plant was found use- ful for textile purposes. After years of experiments by bot- anists of the Royal Horticultural Society and of Kew Gardens, the fibre I obtained from th leaf Is now a rival | to the very best flax. Tb plant will g-row admirably In ruch climates as those of Qrat Britain. New Zealand. j Tasmania, France, and Belgium, and itj I Is no more difficult to cultivate than ordinary gardn lllle*. The Illy Is far easier to cultivate than flax Itself, and H has a yield of 2.240lh. to an acre. Loss of Health. If people would realize the Import- ance of keeping the b'.ood rich and pure there would be les sickness. The blood is the means through which the nourishment gained from food reaches the different parts of the body. If the blood i impure, t nourishment that reaches the nervee. and organs of the body le tainted with poison and dis- ease follows. The blood is also the medium by which the body fights off disease. If the blood Is thin and watery the power of resistance to dis- ease is weakened. If you are weak and run down, if your nerveo are fray- ed, If you lack ambition, have no ap- petite, and are short of breath after slight exertion, the trouble la almost always due to poor blood. In cases of this kind you should take Dr. Williams' Ptok Pills to build up the blood. They help to enrich and purify the blood from first to last dose, and In tnia way bring new health and strength to weak, run-down people. Mrs. John Tlmmons. Elmvale, Ont., tells of th benefit Dr. Williams' Pfnk Pills were to her. ae follows-: "1 became very weak and was hardly able to walk and had to be helped upstairs. I had no appetite and slept poorly at night I finally went to a doctor who told me the trouble was lack of blood and that my condition was serious. He gave me medicine, which I took faithfully, but did not improve. I was ad+ised to ; try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and did so, and after I had taken two or three boxes felt that they were telpi-.g me. I could eat better, and I slept better. I continued using the pills for some Uuie longer and quite recovered my old-time strength and feel that I have to thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I am not an invalid to-day."
