SHE WANTED "CH0lR SINGER"
At Least That Is What Woman Asked
for, but She Was Slightly
Mixed

While a squad of police in the

searching the home of a negro for
white mule" whisky several days ago,
a knock was heard at the door. When
the door was opened, Sergeant Helm
found a cOlOred woman waiting.

AMERICA AS BOSTON LAND"
Abenaki Indians Know No Other
Name for the Whole of the
United States.

In the early days of the Colonies the
Abenakis, or Eastern Indians" and
through them other more distant tribes,
had accepted an Indianized form of the
term "BOstOnian" as the name Of the
New England colOnlsts. After the
Revolution, when the cOlOnists called
themselves Americans, the Indians did
not change their name, but extended
the meaning so that it was the equiv
alent Of American" And by an odd
further extension of the term, Abenakt
Indians today, talking their native
tongue, would speak of the whole
United States as "PCstOn Land" They
call it Decentralization being their
rendering Of Boston, and the terminal
XII being akl or au&ee, their word fOF
land. From the Etchemins of QuOddy
Bay to the Abenakis Of st. Francis on
the st. Lawrence an American is Pas
tonk or Pastani. The form BOstOnian
they do not use.
This word belonged to their trad
ing vocabulary, and presumably the
first fur traders who went to the Co
lumbia carried It into the Chinook jar
gOn, which corresponds to the Chinese
Pldgin English. Frenchmen probably
in the slme manner picked it up from
the Indians and took it to Europe.
The Indians did not use the term
PastOnki from lack Of another name
for the white settlers. 1t is clear that
from the beginning they must have
called them Iglls or Igris, which was as
near as they could pronounce ENG
lish."

This Singer is a Whole Quartet.

London throat specialists are great
ly interested in a man singer who is
said to have a most unusual voice
The young mans name is Strathle
Mackay, and he is employed as a
cleaner at a bank in Threadneedle
street. While Sir James Dundas Grant
listened he sang in tenor voice. a
barytOne, a falsettO and at last in a
double voice, barytOne and tenor sim
ultaneOusly.
Although the two voices could be
heard distinctly, the tenor voice pre-
dominated, and Sir James remarked
that If Mr.. Mackay could harmonic
with the two and render the barytone
with the same clarity and volume as
the tenor the result would be star
tling.
The examination of Mr.. Mackay's
larynx showed that it was quite nor
NAL. and he said it did not strain
him to use both voices at once.

Study Of Dreams.

Much valuable information as to the
mental makeup of child could be OBJ
tained from a study of his dreams, DIR.
c. w. KimminS, an English savant,
recently declared during a discussion
on psychO-analysis and education at a
meeting of the British association at
Hull. it would be interesting, he sug-
gested, to hear from psychologists to
what extent chlldren's dreams could
be used for school purposes. Doctor
KimminS emphasized the danger of
extravogant hopes in regard to the
use of psychO-analySis for educational
purposes. which might lead to an in

Paint Made Resistant to LIoht.

Painters Ike to use llthOpOne be-
cause Of its many good qualities. This
white pigment is. however, not rec
commended for outside work. due to
the fact that 1t darkens when the
painted surface Is exposed to sun
light. A French Investigator has de-
termined that it is the ultraviolet
rays of light that cause the pigment
to darken. To prevent the action of
these rays it is only necessary to sur
round each particle of lithopone with
Il layer of material which is insensi-
tive to light and which at the same
time does not impair the good prop
critics of the pigment. Such materials
are blanc fxe, alumina and oxide of
zinc. A lithOpOne paint made in this
way gives most excellent results.

ODD FORM OF RESIGNATION
Acceptance of Official Position Auto
maticaIly Elects Member From
British Parliament

In the cases of Arthur HendersOn's
and some other notable defeats in the
English parliamentary elections the
comment of English papers is to the
effect that, as a matter OF course, a
seat will be found for the person de-
feated.
This means that some generous and
supposedly important member of the
party who has been elected will re
sign and that his constituency will be
kind enough to elect the defeated man.
The technical process of such a pro-
ceeding is odd and, to an American,
amusing.
The elected member takes the
stewardship of the Chiltern Hun
dreds.' That is, he accepts a commits
sion as royal official for the district
once known as the Chiltern Hundreds,
and, having done this. he can and
must resign his membership in parlia-
n,ent, as a member cannot hold a royal
commission of honor and profit.
ThereupOn some one is elected in
his appointment to the Chiltern Hun
dredS, an office which has no duties,
but nominal salary of 20 shillings,
which makes it a ''place Of honor and
profit" and hence is inconsistent with
membership in the house, and the Of
flee is open for the next member who
wants to reSign.-FrOm the Outlook.
