DON'T LET MOTHER DO IT.

Daughter, don't let mother do itl Do not let her slave and toll, While you sit, useless idler. Fearing your soft hands to soil. Don't you see the heavy burdens Daily she is won't to bear Firing the lines upon her forehead. Sprinkle silver in her hair? Daughter. don't let mother do lt, Do not let her bake and bruil Through the long, bright summer hours. Share with her the heavy toil See her eye has lost iis brightness, Faded from her cheek it's glow. And the step that once was buOyant Now is feeble. weak and slow. Daughter. don't let mother do lt! She has cared for you so long. Is it right the weak and feeble should be tolling for the strong? Waken from your liStleSs languor, Seek her side to cheer and bless, And your grief will be less bitter When the sods above her press Daughter don't iei mother do it, You Will never, never know What were home without a mother TIll that mother lieth low Low beneath the budding daisies. Free from earthly care or pain To the home. 90 sad without her, Never tO return again.

from O'Conghalaign Clancy is Mac FlAnnchadha in Irish and was Angli- cised MacC fancy and then Clancy the family once owned the barony of Ross- clogher In the county of Leitrim. Tuomy comes from Tuath-da- Mhuighe; 1t was the name of two baronies In Kings county and was afterwArd adopted by the family bear ing the Irish name O'Maoilchein Scully Is derived from O'Scolaighe Quinn comes from O'Cuinn, a family once numerous and powerful in the county Tyrone. Phelan and Whelan are each corruptions of O'Faolian {; O'Toole in Irish Is O'Tuathail. Sulli. van, with and without the O prefixed, Is derived from O'Sullebhain.
 The original Kelly, in Irish OCeal- laigh, was descended from Aedh- -Slaine, monarch of Ireland. Its last repre- sentative was Congalach O'Kelly, lord of Bregia, who died in 1922. The fam fly afterward became scattered, 90 that there are but few parishes in the coun- try but has come of these Kellys.
 It will be surprise to many to learn that Byron is not an English name, but corruption of the ancient name of O'Beirne, another corruption of the name being Bruin. O'Brollaghan is the original of Bradley, while In Scotland it is made Brodie. Harring- ton Is an Anglicised form of O'Her- aghty and O'Henessy. O'Hiomhair was changed to Ivers by the gentry and to Howard by the peasantry O'Mulligan In the same way has been changed to Molyneaux and Baldwin. O'Honeen to Green, O'Rourke to Rooke, MacFibris to Forbes, O'Cornain to Corbett, UGriegham to Graham, O'Heyne to Hindes, Hynes, Hine and Haynes or Hayne, O'Barran to Harrington and Barron, McHugh to Hughes, McGilla- mire to Gilmore, O'Leyne to Lyons, O'HoulahAn to Holland, O'Drum to Drummond.
 The Irish in early times also had distinctive Christian names, and these have also undergone & change similar to those of the surnames, though fre- quently there have been no cluse for the Anglicisation. Thus, Cormack has been rendered into Charles, though the latter Is not a translation, and has little similarity in sound Mahon was turned into Matthew, Teige into Tim othy, Art into Arthur, Donal into Daniel, Goron into Jeoffry, Flinghin into Florence, Feradach into Frederic, Eoghan into Owen, and many others have undergone like changes.

Origin of Many Familiar Irish Names

Origin of Many Familiar Irish Names
 Irish Times.
 Family names or hereditary sur names first became fixed in Ireland in the reign of Brian Borumha, between the years 1902 and 1912. For a long time it was popular error that the prefix 70" to- a name signified that the bearer was of royal descent, while a Mac had no special significance of high social standing. This error has been exploded by showing that several kings in Ireland have borne the prefix of Mac to their names, while some of the lowest and most obscure families bore the prefix 70" When surnames first became hereditary some families went back several generations to select an illustrious ancestor from whom to take & name. Mac signifies a son, like the Anglo Norman Fitz, a corruption of the Latin illus, & son. 70" was taken to signify that the name came from grandfather or more remote ancestor.
 Appended Is a list of some of the popular names to be met with every day, showing the transition of the name from the ancient Irish into the present English. In some instances several different names were made from the same Irish name. Generally the change was made into something bearing a similar sound to that of the original:
 Mac and O'Gowan into Smith, Mac Intyre into Carpenter, MacSpallane into Spencer, MacCongry into LES trange, MacCrossan into Crosby, O'Reilly into Ridley, O'Donnell into Daniels, O'Sullivan into Silvers and Silvan, MacCarthy into Carter, O'Neil into Neil or Neel, MacConava was cor rupted into Conover and Anglicised into Ford. In the same way O'Marca- chain was translated into Ryder and Anglicised Markham. MacConry was corrupted into Conroy, and erroneously translated into King. Rogers Is an Anglicisation of the Irish name MacRory. Matthews Is the English of MacHahon. MacCawell is the original from which has been corrupted Camphill, Campbell, Howell and Caulfeld. MacOscar in like manner has been altered into Cos grove and Costello, MacMurtsgh to Mortimer, O'Cleary to Clark and Clarkin, OCindellan to Cunningham. The ODorcys of Galway altered their name to Darcy and D'Orsay, to give the impression that they were descend ants of the Anglo. Norman family of Darcy. ODulany is the original from which is derived Delany and DeLani.
 Many Irish names have been abbre- viated, not through any desire on the part of the bearer to hide their origin, but in order to render the names more pronounceable in English. Of these MacEochaidh is a sample and is now known as McKeogh and Keogh Mac Gilpatrick, to Fitzpatrick MacGilla- roe, to Gilroy and Kilroy; MacGi Gilla Brighde, to Mcbride; MacGillafinen, to Linden and Leonard; MacGennis, to Ennis and Guinness; O'Mulryan, to Ryan; MacMurragh, to Kavanagh.
 The original Irish of Murphy is O'Murchadha, it was Anglicised O'Murchoe, and latterly Murphy. COnnelly and Connolly are derived

Persian PoOr Man,s Paradise.

When we enter Persia we are in the
poor mans paradise a country where
existence is possible upon four pence per
day, where meat costs one pence pound
and bread quarter as much in ordinary
times; where fowl may be purchased
for twelve cents, a partridge or wild
duck for four cents; where a serYiceable
pony may be had for a $25 note, and a
valuable thoroughbred for 500; where
a servant can be hired for 50 month
and his rations, and you can feed horse

from $50 to 500 a year, and all the
very cheapest rate. The very mules
upon which we are to march to the CAPT
tai, each of which will carry a load Of
$50 pounds, are hired at the rate of
eighteen cents per day, and yet from this
small sum the muleteer, If he be for
tunate, will obtain a good profit.
The beasts are fat, there is plentiful
heritage for the FIRST five stages, and a
handful of barley and eight pounds of
cut straw is all that the mules viii get
during the other six days journey, and
each day the mule will march their
twenty to twenty five miles and go
merrily along under their three hundred
pound load, for the pack saddle cannot
weigh less than twenty to thirty pounds,
while the load itself is seldom less than
2s0, and they will steadily maintain
their pace at an average of four miles an
hour, save in the case of mountainous
passes, storms, swamps and the numer-
GUS contretemPs incidental to Eastern
travel. --NeU York Graphic.

Our Sums Cluster.

In the sky on clear night can be seen
belt Of brighter stars which is very
nearly a great circle of the sphere. This
belt is plainly marked, and it is inclined
about eighty degrees TO the Milky Way,
which 1t crosses near Cassiopea and the
Southern Cross. Taking all the stars
down to the fourth magnitude Dr. Gould
shows that they are more symmetricaliy
arranged with reference TO this belt than
they are with reference to the Milky Way.
Intact, the belt has 2j4 stars on enc side
of it and 263 on the other, while the cor
responding numbers for the Milky Way
are 245 and 2s2. From this and other
reasons it is concluded that this belt con-
tains brighter stars because it contains
the nearest stars, and that this set o!
nearer and brighter stars is distInctiyely
the cluster TO which cur sun belongs
Leaving out the brighter stars which
may be accidentally projected among the
true stars belonging to this cluster, Dr.
Gould concludes that our sun belongs
to cluster of about four hundred stars
and it lies in the principal plane of the
cluster since the belt of bright stars is a
great not small circle, and that this
solar cluster is independent Of the vast
congeries of stars which we call the
Milky Way.
