ORIGIN OF SURNAMES
CONE FROM ANGLo-SAxoN AND
MORSE MYTHOLOGY.
Professor Weekley, In His Romance Of
Names, Has Dealt With the SUBJ
i9ct in an interesting and In
structive Manner.

The study as to the origin of sur
names is more intricate than one
who has never engaged in this d.
version may suppose. The name OF
the present president of France, M.
Poincare. appears to mean square
fist" which could hardly need coat
of arms to go with it. The greater
pare of our English names ending IN
ing" are. according to Professor
Weekley, in his Romance of Names,
of Anglo-Saxon origin. Among these
are Browning, Benning, Dunning.
Kipling. Manning and Spalding.
Among Anglo-Saxon suffixes greatly
changed in their spelling and pro-
nunciation are beald tbold). beort
bright, cytel (kettle), god (good),
heard (strong), here Carmy, man
imam. mund (protection). roed
(counseD, ric (powerfuD, weald
(ruling), weard (guard), and wine
(friends).
The name Everett is from the
Saxon Eoforhead, which also takes
the form of Everhard; Gunter was
Gundhere. Redmond, the name OF
the great nationalist leader, is not
Irish, but is from the Saxon Raed-
mund; neither is the name Parnell
Irish. 'Mand" and "Mund" were
often interehanged so that from
Eastmund came both Eastman and
Esmond. The name of the fat knight,
Falstaff comes from the Saxon Fast
wulf, and Hubert, Hubbard, Hobart
and HILBERT have as their ancestor
Herebeorth (army bright, and Regen-
rlund came to be Raymond. the
name Cytel is connected with the
Kettle or Cauldron of Morse mythol-
ogy 1t survives in such names as
Chettle, Kettle, Chell and Kell, whence
comes the name Kelsey, the ley" tend
ing to confirm the opinion that the
original Kelsey was an islander. Many
names of common folk, the plain peo-
pie, have been ennobled. Prominent
among these is Stewart or Stuart,
which became royal with Walker, the
Steward of Scotland, who married Mar
jorie Bruce in 1915. 1t stands for sty-
ward, where sty means pen, but is not
necessarily limited to pigs.
Perhaps the most interesting group
of nicknames," says Professor Week
ley, as that of which we may take
Shakespeare as the type. Incidental
ly we should be thankful that our
greatest poet bore name so much
more picturesque than Cornaille
(Crow) and Racine (Root). AS Bards-
ley we'll says, 1t is impossible to retail
all the nonsense that has been writ
ten about the name of Shakespeare

so simple or so certain in its origin;
1t Is exactly what it looks-Shake-

Describing His Symptoms

A negfo lawyer in a Southern town
was arguing q case which had to 90
with the breaking of will made by
an old negro. The attorney commended
that the old darby. in addition to
many physical ailments. had BEEN
weak-minded when he made the will.
The court asked the lawyer several
questions about the physical troubles
and mental condition of the dead man.
and to all these queries the lawyer
answered briskly.
Now. asked the court finally. did
this old man have any lucid inter-
vals?''
Well, as to dat. jedge.- replied the
negro lawyer after a considerable
pause, de opinion seems to be dat it
was mostly a case Of ankilosed knee. :"

Neu aeadstrino Fastene-.

The clasps or fastenings ordinarily
employed on strings of beads, such as
the popular pearl necklaces, are obiec-
tionable not only for insecurity in
many instances, but also because they
make break in the continuity, and
when they slip to the front Of the
wearer detract from the appearance.
1t has been suggested that possibly
some form Of fastener might be de-
vised which would include as its ele-
ments bead structures corresponding

schooner Alert, % days from Aber-

Old sailing vessels, which for many
months had been anchored in Oak
land creek and points along the North
Pacific, gathering luXuriant growth
of barnaCIcS and facing plebeian
fate as coal hunks or barges, are to
be given new lease Of life.
When the Alert sailed from the
Washington coast, a number of ma

brought into the limeIigbt, sent to
the drydOCk for cleaning and rcpaint-
ing. and were rapidly being rcfitted to
enter the trade as lumber carriers

withdrawal of big foreign freighterS
has produced in the shipping market
