"THE LEXICOGRAPHER'S EASY CHAIR.
"In this column, to decide questions concerning the current use of words, ——'s Dictionary is consulted as arbiter.
"'N.H.R.,' Starkville, Miss.—'What is the meaning of the word Eothen, and what is its derivation?'
"Eöthen is Greek for 'it is used' or 'accustomed,' and is the title of a celebrated work by Alexander Kinglake."—American Magazine.
We fear that the lexicographer found his easy chair so easy that he did not take the trouble to get out of it to consult the dictionary.
THE MIDGET.
As a result of the competition in cheap miniature two-seater cars we anticipate several interesting developments and take the liberty of extracting the following items from the newspapers of the future:—
FOR SALE.—Small two-seater car, fit gentleman five feet eleven inches in height. Forty-two inches round the chest. Only been worn a few times.
Why pay a thousand pounds for a large car when you can get the same result with one of our hundred-pound Midget Cars? Our Midgets are trained to make a noise like a six-seater touring car. We undertake that you shall get the Park Lane feeling at suburban rates. Write for a free sample, enclosing six penny stamps for postage.
One great attraction in the Midget Car is that you need not use a rug to throw over its bonnet in cold weather. A tea-cosy will do.
