ORIGIN oF WORDS.

Many in Common Use which Came DI-

Many of the English words of the

we mistake the etymology of the word.

The common slang word ''mash" is
from the beautiful Gypsy word ma

as well as dirt. The word loafer comes
from the German ''land laufer." a

A few years ago a wit declared that
his antagonist was not worth a
tinker's execution. which was thought
very funny until some other wit ex-
claimed. What is tinker's dapl?n 1t
has nothing to do with swearing. 1t
is merely the dam or stoppage made of
-four and water. with which the tinker
stops the gap he is mending, until the
tin or the pewter has cooled. When
his bread pill is thrown away it is a
very worthless piece of dough. Hence
its name and fame. 1t passed into a
proverb for wOrthlessness. It is much
harder to trace the origin of a prOverb,
or to find out a quotation, than to
follow up a word. because both are
frequently quoted wrong. For in

Actor and Arehblsl,on.

His grace Of Canterbury, after expressing
his emphatic disspproval Of children making
an exhibition Of themselves upon the stage
or anywhere else, drew q contrast between
the happy, innocent and Christian life of the
choir boys to that Of the unhappy theateT
child.
"The choir boy" he continued, goes to
Gods house with his heart full Of religious
sentiment. to sing Gods praise In schoo'
choir boys are invariably the best oys, and
in after life they do not forget their early
Christian training, which so admirably fits
them for the battle of life they arc called
upon to fight. It is both unfair and unkind
to infer that choir boys make an exhibition
Of themselves They sing for the glory Of
God in a building which is set apart for
Gods worship. This is not the case with
theatre children. They sing or act because
they are hired to do 50 and not for any feel
ing OF reverence for their art"
"There l venture" broke in Mr.. Irving,
"to entirely disagres with your grace.
With most children the theatre is their
church, just as much as the cathedral is ths
choir boys church. They. moreover, learn
grace and department on the theatre boards,
and are taught to sing and speak properly
Surely this counts for something"
The archbishop was silent
with respect to the choir boys contin-
ued Mr. Irving, Il have attended many ca,
thedrals, and am sorry to say that have
not noticed that the boys were dominated by
that religious fervor Of which your grace so
eloquently speaks"

Greenland Seals.

Young seals are brought forth on large
floating fields OF ice in March. The baby
seals are born with white hair, which soon
changes to a soft, silky brown fur, and they
nestle ON their frozen beds Of ice as long as
they are sucked by their mothers. When
from to years old they can exist in water.
Then they begin to follow their mothers
about, much after the fashion OF human ba-
hieS, for their attention and the food Of fish,
which they most dutifuny provide. During
this period the mother seal is an alert and
hardy fisher. She will attack the most active
fish Of these waters save the shark, and we
had the testimony Of Capt Deschamps that
instances have been known where battles
between the food hunting mother seals and
these rapacious ruffians Of the deep resulted
in the defeat and death Of the latter. They
are powerful animals, and will force them
selves up the most rugged salmon leaps 70
attack the largest salmon. When the young
seals are to months old they are left to
shift for them selves. Nor are they given up
gradually.
or q sudden the mother seems to determine
that sufficient time and energy have been ex-
pended upon them. Instantly she is a stranger
10 the cub, and any further attempts at inti-
macy are resented in the most savage manner.
The Gulf Of st. Lawrence and the Newfound-
land coves begin to fill with great herds Of
Greenland seals in November. During the
entire winter these break up into lesser herds
in search Of icebergs upon which TO live.
Here they remain until after the breeding
time is past, struggling along the coast until
May or June, when they disappear into the
Atlantic and head for Hudson's and Bafin's
hays Their migrations are as regular as
thOse Of birds, and incOmparably moro Ger
tain than those Of the herring and mackerel
