Simon, or Simeon, was a popular name in England then, and they shortened it to Sim. Tliey were also fond of diminutive landings, of which "kin" was one (It corresponds to the Ger- man "c-hen" of to-day). Henoe the old parchments often contain the nam« Simkln. irjeanlng "little Sira," or Sym- kyn. Later the Normans used the diminutive ending et," and Symonets began to appear on the records. Then, as the population grew, along about the twelfth and thirteenth cen- turies, the metliod of Identifying dif- ferent men of the same name by' tell- ing whose sons they were grew to the point where the description such as 'Sim's son" became permanent In the family and W3.<; shortened to Simson. Sims is this name with the final "on" dropped. GOOD NEWS FOR RHEUMATIC PEOPLE Century Old Bamboo Organ StUl is in Use. One of the most remarkable organs In the world; says a writer in the Wide World Magazine, is- the bamboo organ In the Roman Catholic church of Los Pinae, a little town about five miles from Manila, In the Philippine islands. This organ was built about 1818 by an old Spanish priest, who must have been an extremely patient and devoted worker, as he used more than 900 lengths of baonboo in the organ, every one of which was buried In the sand for at lea&t two years in order to season It. Although the bamboo is a very soft wood, the old priest did his work so well that the organ is still in good condition after a century of use, and is used every week in his services by the Belgian priest in charge. Father Victor Declereq. Every part of the instrument is made of bamboo and liJome very ingeni- ous devices were Included by its build- er. While making the organ, the priest built a tiny model, a perfect copy of the big instrument. This he sent to the Queen of Spain, who, in appreciation of the present, sent a number of valuable gifts to the church. Some of them still remain, and are al- most as much treasured as the organ itself. Now Known That This Trouble Must be Treated Through the Blood. The most a rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the tender, aching joint is a little relief. No lotion or liniment ever did or ever can do more than this. The rheuma- tic poifion is rooted in the blood. To get rid of it you must treat it through the blood. Any doctor wlil tell you that this is true. If you want some- thing that will go right to the root of the trouble in the blood, take llr. Wil- liams* I'lnk I'llls. The whole mission of tills medicine is to purify aud en- rich the blood, and when they do this all blood troubles, including rheuma- tism, disappear Among those who have proved the value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is Mrs. Annie Wright, Woolchester, Alta., who says: "I was a sufferer from rheumatism for six years, and during most of that time my life was one ot misery. I tried several doctors, and many reme- dies recommended, but never got more than temporary relief. The trouble seemed to affect my whole system and I was badly rundown and suffered from headaches as well, l-'lnally I was advised to try Dr. Wllliaind' Pink Pills, and through these I found complete relief and to-day I feel like a new per- son. 1 can therefore strongly recom- mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any- one suffering as I did from this trou- ble." You can get these pillfi from any medicine dealer, or by mail, at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Out. CarpeDiem. Away with thought.

I The Mayor and Corporation of that ! time were not satisfied that the hall was safe, for it is built over the open : Corn Exchange, through which pedes- 1 trians pass daily. At first it waff sup- ported only by great beams, and they requested Wren to erect four pillars In the Com Exchange below to give the beams on which the upper struc- ture rests additional support. It wa* in vain that the great archi- tect assured them that these pilars were not necessary, so the four pillars to all appearance, added their quota to the security of the hall above. Now it has been discovered that Sir Chris- topher left a space of an inch at the top of each, so that the four plUars have never given the Town Hall the least support. The space between the pillar and ceiling was hidden by a thin crust ot cement, and now that this has faJlen out the spaces are clearly re- vealed.

Even the most powerful telescopes fail as new at- tempts are made to study the planet, writes Dr. Thomas Moreux in "Le Petit Journal" (Paris). This, therefore, is the proper time to make known the knowledge acquired | during the recent observations made ' upon Mars. I bear my readers Im- medlately put the eternal question: \ "Yes or no. Is Mars inhabited?" I Mars is surrounded by a layer of air where the spectroscope discovered ' the presence of oxygen and. hydrogen, j Snow accumulates at the poles of Mars i Just as on earth. We can get an idea ! even ot the dencity of the atmosphere i on Mare. The estimates which I took ! up this year, tmfortunately give rather , low results. The air seems much thtn- j ner on the surface of Mars than on our i earth. In fact, it is as thin as it is sixteen kilometers above our earth ' surface. At that altlitude the oxygen ! Is very lightly distributed and the ! average tamperature Is never mohe I that 50 degrees below zero. I Yet Mars may have a temperature of i some 30 degrees above zero during the hottest summer. This ti mperature re- j suits from various causes, the chief of | which is the water vapor which satur- ates the sir of Mars, on account of the feeble atmospheric density. AU the water which exists on Mars is trane- Dlscoverer of Antarctic. Further evidence that the Antarctic continent was discovered in 1820 by Bransfield has been published. thuiS proving that Sir J.
