Quaint Old English Dictionaries.

Quaint Old English Dictionaries
In an article upon dictionaries in the cur.
rent number of The illustrated American
William S. Walsh says of the early English
photographers: "There is much humorous
interest of a quiet and ruminative sort to
be cleaned from the definitions as we'll az
the etymoloeies of the early dictionaries.
Henry Cockeram defines pole as 1.-THE
end Of the exle-tree whereop the heavens
do move; an .idiote' Is IAN unlearned asset
'labourer' is ''swinker; and 'hesetick'
is sketched more roundaboutly, but with q
clear assertion of the right of private opin-
ion, az he which maketh choice of himself
what poynts of religion he will believe and
what he will not Then from classic times
the Olympic games are solemn games of
ACTIVITY and 'Amphitrite' 10 not, as usual,
the goddess of the sea- itself.''
Still funnier are the natural history def
nitions
"a baboon' is said to be "a beast like an
ape, but fare bigger lynx is spotted
beast-it hath most perfect sight, inso-
much as it is said that 1t can see through a
WALL The account of the .salamandar'
reads like an elaborate joke: "A small,
venomous beast, with foure feet and short
taile; it lives in the fire. and at length, by
his extreme cold. puts out the fire. An ig-
narus is a still quainter geological curiosity,
inasmuch as at night time it singeth six
kinds of notes, one after another, as la-sol-
me-fa-re-ut."

Brave north wind, give your sp1endors,

And fair on earth and mountain
Your white snow-garments trail.
Fair south wind lend your softness.

Melt burdened souls to wing tears
As church bells cheerily ring.

From lands of corn and wine,

Returned After Many Years.

William Lanark, IL wealthy old farmer
of Lanark county, died fourteen years
ago, leaving $4,000, tho distribution of
which was made the occasion of IL law
suit by some of the surviving members
of his family. Among the male heirs
was Stephen Holiday, married son,
who in 1864 left his Wifi and two chill
dren and went sailing on the lakes in
the schooner Ada Drake, which was lost
in heavy storm off Cleveland, and Hol-
liday's family supposed ho went down
with the vessel. His widow subsequent
ly married u Toronto man named De-
r,lsha, and secured an order for the pay
ment of Stephens share Of his fathers
money to her and her two sons. This
was followed by an order that tho money
should remain i'll the court.
Four years ago Mrs. Deruslla, Ste
phcn's wife, died, and lately Stephen re-
turned to Canada and told of his mirac-
ulous escape from the wreck after being
washed about the lake for hours lashed
to spar, and of being picked up by a
propeller, after which he went to Hondur-
as and Central America He has been
identified by his only surviving son and
neighbor who knew him years ago,
and Mr.. Justice Armour has made an or
der for tho payment of his share of his
fathers estate.-Toronto Globe.

Cactus and Camel.

The cactuses are very peculiar plants
as peculiar structurally as they are
bizarre and grotesque in outer appear
ance. They have spared no pains and
shrunk from no sacrifice in accommodate
ing themselves to their niche In nature.
In the first place, they have no true
leaves. What look like leaves in certain
jointed cactuses are really fattened and
extended stems. If this seems ut first
hearing hard saying the analogy Of
the common stonecrops, where stem and
leaf are hardly distinguishable, will help
to make it little less incredible. In
other ways, too, the stonecrops (or Sc
dums, as the gardeners call them) throw
much light upon the nature of the cac-
fuses.
All thesorock haunting or desert plants
naturally get very little water except at
long intervals after occasional showers.
Hence only those can survive which form
themselves, as it were, into living reser-
voirs to retain all the moisture they once
absorb. AS soon as the rain falls in their
arid haunts the roots and rootlets eager
ly drink it up in great hurry and store
it away in the soft and spongy cellular
tissue of which the main part of the
plant is wholly formed For this pur-
pose, both in stonecrops and cactuses
the stems have become feshy and succu-
lent. and boing also green and leaflike
they closely resemble true leaves But
they are covered externally with thick
skin, which resists evaporation and keeps
the moisture, once collected, Mt the
plants disposal for an unlimited period.
In short, the cactus does as plant just
what a camel does Us IN animal.-Grant
Allen in North American Review.
