word used as a charm against chills

not alter the essential justice of our
criticism. "Abracadabar U. Patti

as great wrench to the public nerves
as "Artaxerxes II. Pattiscu." More,
indeed ; for we can understand that

An Intelligent Censor.
No play may be publicly performed
In England until it has been passed
upon and agreed to by the stage cen?
sor. A certificate must be secured
from tbe lord chamberlain. Tho lord
chamberlain himself does not, of
course, read all the plays submitted to
him, but the work Is passed on to the
examiner of plays, who is not always
a man of education or discretion and
who In many cases has been suspected
of letting things pass because man?
agers have made It profitable to him
to close his eyes to supposed faults.
The story is told of one of these ex?
aminers who was moved to strike out
"drunk as a lord" in one of the plays
Bubmitted to him. Tbere used to be
an old rule that the word "heaven"
should be substituted in stage Hues
wherever the name of any of the per?
sons of the Trinity came up. So this
clever examiner changed the line to
read "as drunk as a heaven."
The penalty for disobeying the ex?
aminer is a tine of $250, which may be
levied on any person connected with
the forbidden performance?callboy as
well as star.
Strangle Freak of Fate.
Says the Tortland Oregonian: "It i?
the belief of some historians that the
name 'Oregon' is Aragon in disguise,
that it was given to this country by
the early Spanish voyagers and thai
American explorers so interpreted the
word given them by the Indians. The
theory is at least plausible and indi*
catcs a strange freak of fate. The
name Spain proadly brought to thii
distant coast returned to the West In?
dies 3UO years later to destroy the
power of Spain on the seas! Little
thought De Fuca when he sighted this
coast in 1802 that some day It would
build a warship which, under the name
of Aragon, or Oregon, would be fore?
most In the battle that marked the end
of Spain's dominion in the new world."
