said to have thought him too poor for
the girl and demanded sum Of
money which they thought would end

the clothes that match the price
They're the + llows who get the
worst Of it usually.
Others want the quality that
lasts, the style that keeps shape
and they pay the price Of getting
these things They're the men
whose clothes cost the least; they
are the men who come here for

strange Properties Of TourmalIne.

The crystal, tourmalne, is capable of
attracting small bits of paper and
straw in' much the same way as am
Der. This attraction is, of course, due
to an elecrostatic charge.
When the crystal is exposed to sun
light Of a low temperature it loses its
electrical charge but regalns it upon
being heated again. If II has a mega
tive charge at first, it win have posi-
tive charge when it is reheated,

Theere is no reason to question
the statement that Cook and Cooke
are oooupationAl names and that the
founders OF the families OF the
name were distinguished as masters
OF the cuisine. Often. no doubt,
the name was first borne by one who
held this post In the kitchen OF a
king or noblemRn, when the position
was analogous to that OF Steward
from which Stewart il derived. The
Latin form OF the name, found In
documents, is Coqutus.
Il is interesting to find that these
who took the name of Cook some
times bore another surname pre-
viously. There was an English family
OF Gales who assumed the name Of
Cook, after the occupation OF one OF
their number. Sometimes in old
records we find a man designated as
Robert the Cook or Norman the
Cook, showing clearly the occupa-
tional origin OF the name. Some
times the post OF cook in a large
castle was hereditary and then quite
naturally the name was taken by
father and son until it became a sur
name. In one instance a family oi
