INTO A "DEATH TRAP."'

It Is doubtful' if any oi' .the compel. -
tors at Risley in 1905 has experienced
an adventure more gruesome or peril-
ous than one that befell Mn Menzies,

As most people know who live or have
lived in or about Johannesburg, there
is a disquietingly large number of
deathtraps on "the fields" In the shape
of abandoned mine 'shafts, which have
been left without cover and without be-
ing railed off.
",1 waswalking' from the mine to.nty

story, "ab, ut 8.30 on a .dark evening, I
thought I Was keeping to the road, but
I must have turned aside a few feet. T
was going along briskly enough, when 1
lost my foothold, I.felt a fearful blow,
and the another. I had fallen down a
disused shaft 1 fall first down an in-
clined shaft, 70 feet, as I afterwards
measured, Then came a second incline,
20 feet more; then a third section, this

wattle staging, Jaid acrosa the last sec -

"As far as I thought at all, I won-

, and what
would happen next. When I came to
myself a little, I put my hand to iffy

Origin of Some of the Words Now In
Everyday .Use.
Some familiar wards, illustrate that
confusion between articles and substan-
tive which has given the English lan-
guage "o. newt" for an ewt." "A nick-
name" represents "an ekename,'" an ad•
dttional name, and "a nugget," er'"nig-
got,1! . as it used to be written, was once
"a, ningot," a wrong version of "an in-
got." Similarly the phrase ."for the
nonce" was originally "for then once"'
--for that time, "'then" being the dative
ease .of "that" On the other hand, "an
adder'" and "an orange" were "a nad-
fled" and "a norange" originally. "An
apron" also has come from "a napron"
(connected with "dupery"), and . "an
umpire" is really "a numpire"—a "nen+
peer," a not equal or odd man, the odd
man out who arbitrates,
Besides "bridegroom" Anglo-Saxons
iowo the word "twelve" and their meth-
od of reckoning in dozens instead of
tens to Norway. The people of Norway
and. Iceland had a way of reckoning
which made ten equal twelve by the ad-
dition of the word "tolfraed," ,whence
the English word twelve—correspond-
ins' to the Swedish "dusin," whence the
word dozen. The tolfraedic ten . meant
twelve. the tolfraedic hundred meant
120, and so on. This probably also ex-
plains the mediaeval method of count•
big six score to the hundred. '
"Scandal"' is one of the hardest work-
ed words in the language. It is the
same as "slander" and should have the
same meaning of things spoken injury
ions to a person's reputation, Derived
alike from Greek "skandalon," "slan-
der" and"scandal" are good examples
of doublets from classical sources.
"Scandal" 'came, with the "new learn-
ing," direct from the Greek; "slander"
by way of .Norman French "esclandre."
The same process has given "palsy"
and "paralysis," "priest and "presbyter?'
"aims" and "eleemosynary."
value of New York's Parks,

Politeness. of Irish Peasantry,.
It is well known that the Irish peas*
ant (no doubt from a sense. of polite-
ness) will aeldom disagree with •a tour-
ist, but likes to give an answer which
he thinks will be agreeable to the ques-
tioner. Last summer agentleman from
Liverpool, while out for .a sail on Carl-
ingford Lough, was caught in a gale.
Knowing the danger, Pat made for the
shore. "Why are you going in." said
the visitor; "there's not much wind."
"No," replied the boatman, " but, euro,
what there is ay it is mighty power-
ful." An angler tells how, when in
quest of fish, he asked a small hareleg-
ged boy if there were any fish in a cer-
tain river. "There is, yer honor."
„What sort of fish?" "There do be
trouts and eels, yer honor." "Any sal-
anon?" "There do be an odd•one " "Any
thermometers?" "Them does be there,
too, yer honor; but they comes up lath-
er in the season."
