ABOUT TIE SURNAMES.
They Were First Used in Normandy
 Before the Conquest.

Neither Hebrews Egyptians, Assy. rians, Babylonlans, Perslans nor Greeks had surnames and in the enrli- est period of their history the same may be said of the Romans says the Waverly Magazine. In course of time, however, every Roman citizen had three names-the praenomen, or per gems or clan, and the cognomen, or family name, as Publius Corelus Sci pic. Conquerors were occasionally complimented by ihe addition of a fourth name, or agnomen, commemora. tive of their conquest, as Publius Cor nelius Scipio Afrlcanus.
 It is impossible to state with any de. gree of certainty when the modern system of personal nomenclature be- came general. It has been stated that the practice of surnames began in Nor mandy and extended to England after the Norman conquest, but document in the Cottonan manuscript quoted in Turner's History of the Anglo-SaX. ons' contains reference to Hwita Hatte, keeper of bees in Hathfelda; to Tate Hattie, his daughter, mother of. Wulsige the shooter, and Lulle Hatte. sister of Wulsige. The date of these records of the Hattcs is not to be ascertained, but they were certainly written before the year l0G6. So far as antiquarians have been able to discover Hatte is the first surname whose exist ence can be traced in England. It is not improbable that the founder of the Hatte family was so called because of some unusual or noticeable headgear that he was in the habit of wearing.

La Grippe is Epidemic Catarrh.

IT spares no class of nationality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aris- tocrat and the pauper, the masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt-all are liable.
 Grip is we'll named. The original French term, la grippe, has been shortened by the busy American to read "grip."
 Without intending to do so, new word has been coined that exactly de- scribes the case. As if some hideous giant with awful grip had clutched us in it's fatal clasp.
 Men, women, children, whole towns and cities are caught in the baneful grip of a terrible monster.
