whet Is the Correct sp,%ins OF t,c
Name?
N recent meeting of the Clan
stewart Society in Glasgow, Col. John
Stewart Of Ardvolrlich. who presided.
referring to the different ways OF spell
ing the clan name. said that the "df-
f,rent ways of spelling the name arose
either from accidental causes or other
well-dehned reasons. The final letter
q was substituted for the ID OF the
original name Steward for the sake
of euphony. The spelling of the name
Steuart was quite accidental. arising
probably from the illcgibility of the
writing of some member; wAile the
spelling OF Stuart was caused by Queen
Mary. on her return from France. us
ing the French spelling Of her name, to
which she had been accustomed. and
many c.ansmen perpetuated the royal
spelling. But in whatever way they
spelt their name. they all came from
the original stock. Nor does this end
the matter. for II may be remembered
hy many that the Earl of Galloway re-
fused to take part In the collection OF
the stuart exhibition" in London In
1883. because the committee refused to
spell the name Stewart" as his lord
ship himself does He maintained that
this was the only correct orthography
and held aloof from the exhibition
which disregarded this assertion. This.
however. seemed rather high
especially when we discover by refer
ence to historical documents that near
! ly all the famous people OF the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries spelt their
names in two or three different ways.
In short, there was no proper spell
ing" though Mary Queen OF Scots al
ways wrote stuart" for the simple
! reason that she was educated in France
and the French alphabet had no w"
Earlier kings OF her race spelt their
names Steward" or Stewart" or
stuart" at the fancy OF the moment
when they held the pen. We have near
ly thirty different ways on record OF
spelling the surname OF Stewart In
English, Gaelic. French, Latin, Italian.
Spanish and Dutch, as follows: Stew
ard, Stewart. Stewart. Stuart Stuard.
Steuarde. Steuard, Steuart, Steuert.
Stewort. Steort. Steubhart. Steubhartt

RUBBER is GETTING SCARCE.
For Tha, Reason Old Bicycle Tnes Are
Being Made over.


Being Made over.
The popularity OF bicycling has ere
ated a great demand for rubber and as
consequence the commodity Is be-
coming scarce and the need Of econ
omy in its use Is imperative. 1t may
not be generally known thai the india
rubber dolls. animals and other toys
used by children in many cases began
their commercial existence in the form
OF bicycle tires. All our inGia-rubber
toys come from Germany, and several
enterprising English shippers have
found that the shipment OF OLD worn
out tires to the German factories Is
very profitable business. During the
past two years tons OF old rubber, that
used formerly to be thrown away, or
remade into cheap doormats, have
been shipped to Germany, and sent
back transformed into elaborate and
gaudy squeaking dolls, elephants and
other toys. Though rubber is used for
