Old-Ti1ne Words.

Old words survive to remarkable
degree in north Derbyshire, and the
country districts of Lancashire. Per-
haps the most interesting is "Yah,
which the rustics of the Peak frequent
ly use for eyes," and which they en-
ploycd exclusively thirty years ago.,
when many of them had never seen a
railway. Sounded exactly like the
German "Jah," it is evidently de-
scendaat OF the Anglo:Saxon "Gea,"
and must, therefore, be more than a
thousand years old. In Lancashire
the commonest antiquity in speech is
"Gradeley," the meaning whereof is
"Really, genuinely; thoroughly Both
counties are happy in the use of
Mesh" (Anglo.Saxon: Nesc,, an ad.
mirable word. which ought to be rein
stated i'll polite speech, for modern
English contains no exact equivalent.
It means unduly sensitive to cold, and
is correctly represented by the French,

WaslIington's Shad Man.

The shad man is getting in his fine
work right along, too. He knows
that mis- season is comparatively short,
and so he atones for it by added
vociferation. One of his peculiarities
is that he dwels with considerably
more insistence upon the "roe" end
Of his double-worded cry than he does
upon the "shad." It is ':roe-shad-
roe-shad," with the name of the fish
uttered in so inaudible tone that if
people within hearing didn't know
differently, they might reasonably con-
clude that he was calling "roe-rock"
or 'roe-perch" OF ''roe-eels.' He
does business sand gets the money,

not possible to say that otherwise
they have greatly changed. They are
made with cape collars and boleros

At matinee this week, writes Ellen

huge bretelles nor 7fiaring founces nor

A nurses apron may indulgein a few

parlor maid, housemaid, waitress and

perfectly plain aprons. Shoulder

mistresses permit an untrimmed bre-

From the hope OF what might have been.

He bartered his manhood's crown;
Through the gate Of a sinful pleasure
My poor, weak boy went down.

But now the alarming theory that the
