Some Queer Negro Names

The negroes Of the Bahama Islands
dearly delight in fine names. and raasack
their memories in order to christen their
children with sufficiently high sounding
ones. The author OF Tho Land Of the
Pink Pearl" says that in the Bahama Is

Waleses," Prince Alberts" and Prince
Alfreds." There is & man named TIberius
Gracious. a boy called Thaddeus de War

An UnHclcome Guest.

The way in which people go unbidden
to church weddings is notorious, ana
thereby hangs trifing but not unamusing
tale. At a recent wedding in Arlington
Street church one Of the ushers saw
LADY come IN who was so stylishly dressed
that he immediately jumped at the conciu-
sion that she must be guest Of import
ance. He accordingly offered her his arm
and started down the aisle to escort her
to the seats directly behind those reserved
for the families Of the contracting parties.
Just as he neared the slip into which it
was evident he meant 20 show her the
lady looked up and asked ingenuously:
Can you tel me whose wedding this

The usher's eyebrows contracted invoi-
unfairly.

Then, being man Of presence OF mind:
he kept coolly On down the aisle, turned
and crossed the chancel. brought the lady
up the next aisle, and seated her obscure!y
near the door-Boston Letter.

Stutv Of the Hypnotfc State.

Dr.. A. Dichas has made detailed study
of the memory in the hypnotic state, and
summarizes his main conclusions some
what as follows: o. during the hypnotic
sleep the subject remembers the exper
fences of his WI king life as well as of
previous hypnoscs; ~ in hypnotisn there
is often an exalt- tion of the memory, and
at times chang IN its content, leading
to the assumpti n of foreign person
atty; 81 the me nory of what has been
going on during hypnosis is usually lost,
it can often be revived by a simple sug
gestion, and at times the memory of a
suggested Authorization may linger on,
and influence the waking condition; a.
the operator can at his viii have any of
the acts OF the hypnotic state remem-
bered or forgotten by making this a part
of the suggestion; (5) suggestion seems to
be largely applicable as unconscious
memory.
Dr. Cybulshi has studied the power of
hypnotic subjects to hypnotic them
selves. He finds that such subjects
strongly imagine for minute or less that
that the operator commands them TO go
TO sleep, and the desired result ensues.
Furthermore. if the subject, on going to
sleep imagines himself controlled by a
certain person, then. even though another
sent him to sleep, he will be subject to
the former. and not to the operator.
These observations show the Importance
Of the subjective element in the process
of hvpnotism and indicate the method by
which the subject unconsciously takes
suggestions and acts upon them DR..
Berkhan has applied hypnotism to the
aaelioration of the hearing of the deaf.
lie tested the hearing of nine deaf boys,
and. after hypnotizing them, spoke to
them and had various noises made before
them The hearing of four Of them was
found to be improved and the improve
ment is reported as still persisting after
eighteen months Science.
