The larger the of Ii

of systematic origin, of some of the

A common saying is that a
prised person is taken aback. This
is said to have originated from the
same expression used
in that sails are taken
when they are driven by the winds
back against the mast. Probably it
would be hard to prove that either
of the sayings had its origin in the
other, for they both use the word

Aback and similar words disclose a
curious fact in their etymology
namely, that the first syllable is
merely a letter that stands for
original word on,
which meant not only what our pros-
means, but also at, to, in,
into or almost anything of that kind,
to circumstances.
Accord, concord and discord come
from what seems a queer thing to
suggest words for the sense in
which they have always boon used.
In each the second syllable is from
tho Latin word for heart. Accord
in its elements means the
Real agreement or harmony mus
have been considered so sweet and
so rare that the only fitting name
for it must contain that of the heart
as the seat of human affection.
Caprice and capricious seem to
arise from the fact that people
find no bettor comparison for
actions than the capering of a
goat. The etymology of these words
that connects them with the Latin
word for goat is questioned by the
Century Dictionary, but there is no
doubt that caper is from that Latin
word.
Pilgrims were so called for a very
queer reason, and the word was
made in a queer way. They walked
through tho land, and as this was
their prominent characteristic it
suggested tho name for them, which
is made from the Latin words per,

A Crocodile Fight.
Crocodiles are very apathetic, and
fights among them are rare. A short
time ago, however, two of the six
crocodiles in the zoological gardens
at Antwerp had a serious disagree-
and one of the saurians, with
a vicious snap, closed bis iron jaws
on the upper jaw of the other.
During tho ensuing battle the
locked jaw in tho middle. The
assailant swallowed the
teeth and all. This ended the
pleasantness, both at once assuming
their former listless attitude. The
vanquished animal now presents a
horrible sight; part of its tongue
and the front half of the lower jaw,
bristling with teeth, are exposed to
view.
But the maimed animal shows no
