A Chinese Alligator.

Two examples of the Chinese alligator have just reached the Geological Car dens. says the London News. They are the first that have ever been exhibited there alive. The alligator is so distinct lv an American animal that the proof, so recently as 1879, of the species in China is extremely interesting. Nevertheless, the Chinese classics con- tain numerous references to the crea- ture and even pictures which could be easily recognized as being crocodile of some sort. 'It is to be hoped that the specimens at the Zoo will bear out the notion of the extreme longevity o1 the reptile. It's name is apparently used in certain parts of China in the same sense as Methusaleh in this coun- try Marco Polo wrote about this ami nal and recommended it's gall as an eX, cellent remedy for the bite of a mad dog and for various other complaints so that it seems to have been the medieval equivalent of some of our much advertised remedies of the pres cnt day. Curiously enough, the beast is even now made use of in Chinese medicine"

SLANG AND ITS ORDINATIONS.
Facts Relating to the Origin of Certain
 Words and Phrases.


 Words and Phrases.
 Within the present century (proba- bly) a good many Hebrew words have come into English slang through the medium of ''Yiddish,'' e. g., showful, 1ow Hebrew, ''shaphel";) ''gonoph," a thief, (Hebrew, ''gannabh, pronounced ''gonnof' by Polish Jews; MT. Leland writes incorrectly ''ganef.'') The greater part says the Anthenaeum, of the vocabulary of slang, however, is purely of English origin, consisting of humor- ously-metaphorical uses of ordinary words, the metaphor being often so far-fetched as to be of the nature of a riddle. Slang words of this type have often passed into standard use; the or dinary French words for ''head," ''cheelk," ''leg," for instance, represent the vulgar Latin words for pot, ''poT- ringer" and "knee-cap."
 Of course, a humorous metaphorical expression may acquire a considerable degree of proverbial currency without thereby becoming slang. It passes in to slang when the original point of the joke is no longer distinctly remem- bered, and the expression continues to be used merely as an eccentric substi- ute for the recognized term. At 6 later stage sometimes the word or phrase has become so general that all it's grotesque associations have disap- peared, and it becomes a permanent addition to the resources of the literary language A good example of these three stages of development may be found in the history of the word ''budg- et," as denoting the financial propos- als of the chancellor of the exchequer. In the reign of George II. the word was used with conscious allusion to the cele- brated pamphlet which ridiculed Sir k. Walpole as a conjurer, opening his budget or ''bag of tricks" After ward it must, for time, have been cur rent as slang; but, as it supplied want, it was soon taken into the ordinary vo- cabulary, and at the present time a chancellor of the exchequer would, as a matter of course, speak of his own ''budget'' without any thought of the un- complimentary sense which the word originally expressed.
