AtUrta- I Hgw the Myth OrginatecL I Aa It has well Imh n sdid of po'iulur proverbe. that tiiey are the wleJtm of many and the wit of one. I'o tne<>io.?.c.il and moml myths grew up tn the pupu- ! lar imagination, aii'l w«rc> nurseil ili«ie tUl In happy seuaon they received a dertnJte shape from »on<e oiia repre- sentative man, whose in.-oplratiun led bim to expre«e in a sli'lkiUK form wb t ! all felt to be true an I aM were wiUiug i to believe. The nr«it framers of the myth were, no doubt, perfectly aware of the . . . atgoiflcance of these Imaginative picturee; but they were aware as poete, not aa aaalyi»l8. It Is j not, th«ref< re, nei^eeeary to suppocM that in framing their leeends they pro- ceeded with the fuH consctouaneaa whk^h belouge to the framers of tables, aUegorlea, and parablee. Lhirfng a certaia early stage of na- tional life, which cannot be accurately (Ieflne(i, but which always precedes ... a regular written literature, the popular myth, like a tree or plant, be- comes subject to a iMroceaa of growth and eixpaniiion. tn the course of which it not only receives a rich embe>Ulah- n)«nt, but may be so transformed by the vivid action of a fertile imagina- tion, and by the ingrafting of new ele- ments, that its original intention may be altoge'ther obscured and forgotten. j How far this first significance may in after times be rightly apprehended de- ! pends partly on the degree of Its orig- iiiaJ obviousness, partly on the amount of kindred culture posaeesed by the persons to whom it is addressed. I As of eesentladly popular origin and growth the myth cannot, in the proper j sense, be aald to have been the crea- tion of any poet, however distinguished. Much less could a popular minstrel lake Honi«r, usilng a highly polished language, and who manifestly had many predeoessors, be said to h*Te either created the characters or invent- ed the te^ends about the Greek gods, which form the critics of the last century used to callthe "madiinery" of his poems. In regard to theological myths, which are most deeply rooted in the popuilar taSth, such a poet aa Homer could only turn to the be«t account the materials existing, with here and there a little embellishment or expansion, where there was no dan- ger of contradicting any article of the received imaginative creed. â€" John Stuart BiLackie, In "On Interpretation of PopuilaiT Myths." t SurDames aoii Tlieir Origin THACKERAY Vartatlona â€" Thackery, Thackuray, Thackman, Thackar Thatcher. Racial Origin â€" Engliah. Source â€" An occupation. In the Government and religious T9- cords, tax lists and the like i>f mediev- al England such names as "Roger I* Thaccer" and "Hcbbe l« Thecbera " ara to be found. At that time, of course, the append- ' ages to the given names for the moat part were purely deecrlvtlTe, signify- ing the trade which their bearers fol- lowed. The trade was that of roofing, for with rare exception th* ordinary house of the Middle A«ea had a thatched roof. Later the same names are met, but here and there minua the "le," show- ing that tn some cases at least they were bein£ used as real and not mere- ly descriptive names. Still later such combinations aa "Walter Thaccer, le Cordwainer," proved that the name had become » family one, and that the said Walter was not a thatcber at all, : though his name might Indicate It. The harsher pronunciation general- ly developed In the northern parts of , Ehigland and the softer In the south, f Just as the same words became : "church" tn the south and "kirk" In ' the north, or "flak" In the north and "fish" In the south, or again "dike" tn â-  the north and "ditch" in the south. The flourishing ending "ay," later developing tn some ca&es to a plain i "y," were simply whimsical or vain endings added In much the same spirit that some names were Latinized to show the learning of their bearers. CHI8HOLM. Racial Origin â€" Lowland Scettish. Source â€" Geographical. Though the origin of this family name, which Is the name ot one of the Highland clans of Scotland, Is not 'Gaelic at all, moat at tboae who b«ar the name are deacendanta of Qaela, with blood that originally cams from Ireland. The exact racial claaalflcatlon of the Lowland Scottiafa haa never been met- tied with finality. That they were or- tglnally a Teutonic, rather than a Cel- tic, race Is certain, hot they have never been definitely placed as belonging to the Germanic (like the Anglo-Saxons) or the Scandinavian (like the Norse) branch of that great racial dtvlaioo. There is very good philological «ivl* dence that the Scottish dialect (which, incidentally, la not the languag* of the Highlanders, bat of the Lowland- ers) is not a corruption of Englt^ aj ta commonly supposed, but a dev^o^ ment Independent of it, from a toncue diseimilar neither to the anclMit Saxon nor Norse. It has, however, been com- plicated by the influence of the n«ich- boring English through all periods. However, the name of Chlsholm (note the Saxon ending, which means 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, aa 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.

The mistake commonly made is to view an obS'tacle as "an Immovable ob- struction." whereas it la only a diffi- culty ot some kind, which can be over- come with a little perseverance and Intelligence. Regarded in this light, obstacles are to be welcomed, tor they develop our strength of character. If everything ia smooth and plaln-saiillng, calling for no special effort on our p«rt, we cannot expect to make the most of ourselves and develop our ca- pacities to the full. It La opposition that bring* out our reeei-ve forces, car- rying us on to greater achievement. Those who rise superior to their dif- ficulties are bound to make process, if they consistently triumph over every obstacle as it is met. It is a common but veiry unfortunate thing for young people to get discouraged when they come up against an Impediment of any kind. They should really regard all such trials aa tests of character. Force- ful personalltlee are formed in Just that way â€" by measuring wits with contrary circumstances. Let all those who aspire to win to high place take heart at what Mr. Bok tells them, out of his practical experience: "I looked at the top, and Instead of finding it OTercrowded, I was surprised at the few who had reached theire; the top talrly begged tor more to climb its heights." â€" Hamilton Spectator. « Forethought in Planb.

What wonders are performed beneath onx very feetii If we could look be- neath the thick woven award of the meadows, or roll back the decaying leaves of the forest, or pliick up the thickened root-stocks of the water Illy and kindired forms from their oozy beds beneath the shallow lakee, w-e should find In every place evidence of Inetlnct-iilie forethought among the plants and provision for their future wiants. ... All the wealth of beauty In early wprlngâ€" the green Wade of Cnaes â€" the fragrant Arbutus of the hilil- alde and the golden Caltha by the brook-iheae all are the products ot pilant labor of tha former year.

The Condition of a P. E. I. Lady Who Again Rejoices in Good Health. "I can most heartily recommend Dr. WUliams' Pink Pills to all weak peo- ple," says Mrs. Augustin Arsenault, WeUtngton Station, P.E.I. "Before I began thetr use 1 was very weak and nervous. I had alw^ays worked hard, with no thought of my health, until suddently my strength left me. I began to feel tired and depressed, and did not sleep weU at night, feeling Just as tired In the morning as when I went to bed at night. I began to feel dis- couraged when I would think ot the worjc necessary for me to do. I got some medicine from the doctor whom i I consulted, but it did not appear to meet my case as I showed no im- provement while taking it. Then a neighbor advised me to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills and I got a supyly of this medicine. I very soon found they were helping me, and I continued their use until 1 was well again, and I have been strong and well ever since." Dr. WilJlamB' Pink Plllt do one thing â€" and do it well. They build up, I purify and enrich the blood, and aa ! the blood supplies the whole body, new life Is given to the entire system. Better sleep, steady nerves, improved appetite.

Sir Arbuthnot Lane, in a review of | Mr. EJllis Barker's work on "Health" j published in the English Spectator, ; speaks as follows: â€" j The author gives convincing proofs of the advantage of plain living on na- 1 tural food, combined with outdoor ex- 1 ercise. Farm workers and clergymen ' are the healthiest classes of the com- : munity, doubtless because both lead j simple lives, with much exercise In the open air. Butchers and merchant aea^ I men are among the most short-lived j people. The mortality among butch- ers le twice aa great, while that of | merchsnt seamen is three and one-half i times as great as that of clergymen j and agricultural laborers. Butchers ; and seamen live largely on meat, pre- served meat, preserved vegtables and ^ other stale fodd which Is only eaten sparingly or not at all by the clergy and rural workers: hence the high mortality of the sailors not with- standing the brofing air of the sea. Many think cancer is an old-age dis- â-  ease. If there were a caucer age, can- cer nioiitality would be higher among farm workers and clergymen, among, whom longevity is greatest ; but ac- cording to Mr. Barker, the cancer i mortality is twice as high among the ' short-lived butchers and seamen. -* I Ttma for the back-seat driver to take a back aeat WrlM ID-4W r*r MI rasa bom. auiM "rraAt- •Mt r (Ul tr y Mar-Mill Chick Starter â- niMM NMrik.
