The affected young miss who
changes her name from Mildred to
Millicent in the fond belief that
the two are interchangeable, is
really rechristening herself. The
two names are utterly dissimilar.
Millicent, which is translated to
mean work strength, comes from
that remarkable word ANAL"
meaning work, which appears in
some similar form in all languages.
We have our word MOL" from it.
Many feminine names have been
evolved from anal, the first prob

A few days ago there appeared an
account of the doings Of Samuel Resch-
,evski, a wonderful chess player, eight
years old, who is confounding Berlin
with his uncanny knowledge and skill.
! These wonder children" always
arouse especial interest, and, as many
explanations are put forward to &C
count for their apparent genius, there
are gloomy forebodings as to their
meeting with an early death.
There have been many wonder chill
dren" In the past, and it is strange,
though true, that quite a large proper
don have lived to the average age.
In recent years there have been a
number Of child evangelists who have
startled the World by their eloquence
and theology. In the United States

and when ten years old he was actual
ly appointed minister Of a church In
North Carolina.
In Great Britain there are records of
child twelve years old who preached
In Baptist church at Porthcawl, and
n small boy who, at the tender age of
three, began preaching to crowded au-
diences and continued to do so until
well after ten years old.
In the case Of such prodigies, their
talents consist chiefly in an abnormal,
retentive memory and, provided that
their temperaments are not emotional,
they stand the mental strain exceed
ingly we'll, though there is. Of course,
the danger attached to the excessive
physical strain which they frequently
undergo.
To this type belong those children
who learn rapidly by heart such things
as the tunes words end numbers Of all
hymns in the ancient and modern
hymn-book. It is such children, with
a high development Of one faculty, who
most often meet with early death, and
maybe it was in such cases that old

1t was an inky black night and we
were riding along a country road.
when we saw railroad crossing
aheas. We stopped about a hundred
feet from the tracks and peered
through the brush and trees that lined
the ro1d. There M the track we saw
a light moving toward u.s. The lriv-
er wished to move on, but I, being
very nervous. objected loudly, so we
waited at least five minutes. The
light kept drawing nearer, but the
driver in disgust insisted upon cross.

for I knew train lights were SO de-

we discovered our locomotive to be
nothing more than a man coming

age Of four years.
A contemporary Of this wonderful
child was fluent In five languages be-

Hebrew Bible into Latin and French

both definite in showing that wonder

that children who assimilate knowl-

The great point in the case Of chill

avoid any attempt at making the bril-
