Irish Family Names,

Irish family names may be classified
into original Irish and Anglo-Irish.
Inc latter should be distinguished
from English. All original Irish FAM
lily names commence with the prefix
20" or Mac" with the exception of
less than half dozen. In many cases
thls prefix has been dropped but when
ever practicable II should be restored.
Anslo-lrish names have no right to
take this or Mac. The following
Latin lines well express the rule con-
corning Irish family names:
Per mae atque tn veros cognosces
Hibernos;
His duobus dcmptis nulus Hibcrnus
adest."
1t is, accordingly. not correct to
write the name Conner or Council:
they should be respectively O'Connor
and O'Connell. ON the other hand. it
is mistake to write O'Dell. The
name should be Ouell, with the ac-
cent on the ., as this is name in
troduced by the Palatine colony, and
is not true Irish name In speaking
Irish, the prefix. Ia is used with GER
tain Norman names: but this has MOTH
ing to do with the ., and is not used
in English at%ali. The construction
and use of Irish family names were
strictly regulated, as the clan system
required the careful preservation OF
the eenealogies OF families, and all
chieftains necessarily had a family

There were other prefixes besides o
and Mac used along with and :mmedi-
ately following them, the principal Of
these prcfixes being Giola and Maol.
Both indicted that the name to which
they were prefiXed was that of a saint,
and the Giola or Mao itself meant
dedication to the saint. Thus, Giolla
Phadruig meant servant of Patrick.
and MacGiolla Phadruig near descend
ant Of the servant of Patrick. The
prefix Maol has been changed in the
English form OF the names into Null
or Mol, as in Molloy, Moloney, Null
vanny, the correct form of which are
O'Molloy, O'Moloney, OMulvanny.

The First Steps.


And only the blaze of the freight
Frightened the darkning room,

That only to mothers is known,
For the beautiful brown-cycd baby
Took his first steps alone.
Hurricdly running to meet him
Came trooping the household band
Joyous, loving and eager
TO reach him 81 helping hand,
10 watch him with silent rapture,
TO cheer him with happy noise
My one little fair-faced daughter
And four brown, romping BOYS.
Leaving the shcltering arms
That fain would bid him rest
Close to the love and the longing,
Near to the mothers breast
Wild with daring and laughter,
Looking askance at me,
He stumbled across through tn,
shadows
To rest at his fathers knee.
Baby, my dainty darling,
Stepping so brave and bright
With tlutter of lace and ribbon
Out of my arms tonight,
Helped in thy pretty ambition
With tenderness blessed to see,
Sheltered, upheld and protected
How will the last steps be?
See, we are all beside you,
Urging and reckoning on,
Watching lest aught betidc you
Till the safe, near goal is won,
Guiding the faltering footsteps
That trcmble and fear to fall
How will 1t be. my darling.
With the last sad step of all?
Nay, shall l dare to question.

Than all our tenderest loving
Will guide the weak feet beyond,
And knowing beside, my dearest,
That Whenever the summons, twill
But a stumbling step through the

Then rest--at the Fathers knee.

was so. He had seen the telegram at
the store. Tt was for Grace Van
Horne and they were just going to
send boy over to the shanty with
it.
Captain Elkanah seized Salters by

savage joy and his voice shook with
exultation.

pension Office that the last soldier Of
the Civil war will die in 1855. That is
the estimate made by those who

the last veteran survives until that
date he will have lived 80 years aft

soldier Of the war of 1912. and he
lived considerably more than 80 years
after peace had been signed. Bake

man to take responsibility for failure;
he was a strong enough man, too, to

him was at Elandslaagte. The battle
