TERMS VSED IN VSTRALIA

"Bushranger" instance Of
Australian slang-is curious case OF
verbal degradation. From an etymo-
logical point of view there is no rea.
son why bushranger should not be as
respectable a word as parkranger. In
the early Australian newspapers such
advertisements as WANTED, a good
bushranger," were quite common. The
word then meant an experienced BUSH
man. But when the bush became the
refuge of robbers of banks, mail coach
es and lucky diggers, the word &C.
quired the sinister meaning that it now
possesses-brigand, outlaw, desperate.
A "swagman" or "swaggie" $50

strapped to his back) is genuine
Australian traveller in search of work,
but "sundowner" is the antipodean
professional tramp. The "sundowner"
strolls from one squatter's station to
another, always taking care to arrive
at sunset, for it is the traditional prac-
tice Of Australian squatters to give
food and shelter to all corners for the

Quick Tunnel Work.

Improved machinery has greatly ia
cilitated tunnel work. The Mt. Gems
tunnel in France, the first to be exca-
waited, is nearly eight miles long, and
was fourteen years in construction
the digging being completed on De-
cember %, 1870. The st. Gothard
tunnel, nine and quarter miles long,
was pierced through on February 20,
1880, after nine and half years OF
work. The Arlberg, six and a half
miles long, celebrated the end of its
excavation on November 10, 1888, three
and a half years after the work was
begun. The Simplon, twelve and a
half miles long, was pierced on May 4,
1904, after five and half years of
work, and 1t is expected to be ready
for trains next April, or afIer six and Il
half years of tunneling.

Cockatoo is a word of varied mean
ings in Australia. 1t was originally a
contemptuous nickname for the small
Australian farmer, but was gradually
accepted as a synonym for that class.
"Cocky," says Prof Morris, "is com
mon abbreviation." Anthony Trollope
committed a good many blunders IN
his book describing his Australian
tour. One of them was his definition
of cockatoo: "It signifies that the
man does not really till his land, but
only scratches it as the bird does.'
critic gives this as the true explana-
ton: About 1860, when the great rush
to the gold fields had ceased, immi-
grants turned to the land, swarmed all
over the country, and ate up the sub
stance of the squatters, who likened
them to an invasion Of devastating
birds, and christened them "cocka-
toos." BY 1867 the word had Travelled
to New Zealand, for Lady Barker, au-
thor of "Station Life in New Zealand"
writing in that year, remarked: Il
have heard man say in answer to
question about his occupation, I'm

A veritable "old maids paradise IS
located in Sctuate. That ancient
South Shore town bears the distinction
of possessing a fund Of which the pro-
ceeds are devoted to the care of de-
pendent maiden women.
So far as the Scituate Selectmen
know there is not life fund under
the supervision of town anywhere IN
the state. More than a quarter or a
century ago Miss Eliza jenkins docid-
ed that women approaching the sore
and yellow leaf Of life, who had, like
herself, remained single from choice
or otherwise, should be provided for
when they became dependent wholly
upon themselves. The idea of an old
folks home in Scituate was at that
time entirely out of the question. Miss
Jenkins straightway did the next best
thing and left a fund of $4,000, the
interest of which is yearly distributed
among the worthy maidens of the
town.
The Jenkins fund has always been
in charge of the Selectmen In the last
few years they have placed about $40
