From the Dundee Advertiser


Brazilian cocoanut palms live from 900
to 100 years, and the Arabs assert that
the date palm frequently reaches the age
of 200 to 300 years. Wallan's oak near
Paisley, Ccotland, is known to be over
700 years old, and there are eight olive
trees on the Mount of Olives, near Jeru-
salem which are known to have been
nourishine in lV99. The yews at Foun-
tains Abbey, Yorkshire were old trees
when in 1882 the abbey was built, and
a redwood in Mariposa Grove, Ca fornia,
is a manifold centenarian. Baobab trees
of Africa have been computed to be over
5000 years old, and the deciduous cy-
press at Chapultepec s considered to be
of a still greater age. Humho dit said

3s1.-Who was Venerable Bede? What
did he do?
Answer-Bede, "the venerable" one of
the eminent fathers of the English
Church, was born in Durham. in 672,
and was noted for his great Learning. He
wrote an Ecclesiastical History of the
English Nation" and translated the gos-
pei Of John and did much other literary
work
302.-What is the meaning of the word
'selah." used 80 often in the Psalms?
Answer-This word occurs only in the
poetical books OF the Old Testament, ssv-
enty-one times in the Psalms, three times
in Habakkuk. The term evidently had
a meaning in the nomenclature of the
Hebrews, which now is matter of pure
conjecture. The Targum renders the
tian Church reject this and say it was
a mere mark directing the choir to pause.
Raboinical writers generally follow the
view of the Targum. Among modern
scholars there Is much disagreement.
303.-Do the wicked suffer everlasting
punishment?
Answer - The so-called orthodox
churches so believe. One body of Prot
estants. the UniversaIists. hold that pun
ishment is remedial, that at some time In
the distant future, under it's influence. all
men will be turned away from sin and
become reconciled to God. That is the

A Few Jokes FROM tbe DictioDary

writers did not know that the Teutonic stock
is an indenendent family of its own, and that
Greek words as well as derived words
English derivations were not thought good
enough for "ake'' and "rime," and Sc, Greek
ones nes were d invented and the words became anne
stituted for "sisoures" OF "cisoures, island"
for 'iland," and "eyry" for "aery," on the
same principle of false derivation.
est born and should be spelled "postumous,"
from the Latin 'postumus," but some very
clever person thought that it came from post
humum,' and meant one born after the faith
er was dead.
The article an has caused few blunders
A nickname was originally an ekename-that
is, IAN additional name,'' as also a newt was
an ewt.
On the other hand, an adder was originally
nadder, and an umpire a numpire-that
is, nOn-peer. Azure ought to be laZur but
this mistake was made in the French, where
lazur was mistaken for Pazur.
The word comes from the Low Latin lazur,
blue-colored stone, generally known as lapis
lazuli. The Latin name comes from the mines
of Lajwurd, or Lawur, India, where the min
eral was found The history of this word is
exceedingly curious, and could not be guessed,
as 1t is so much concealed by its corrupted
form.
Occasionally the dropping of an initial h
may conceal the source of word, as in ar
Dor, which is simply a corruption of~harbor,
but here false analogy and false derivation
helped the corruption. A reference to any
standard dictionary will supply various other
verbal blunders.
Proper names are an almost inexhaustible
mine for the student, but we have said enough
to put anybody on the track who is anxious
to discover more dictionary jokes for himself
