The Study of Word*.--Pupils In the Gnnwbar Department take a deep interest lathe origin of word*, anil a large amount of information may be eonTe]W<l in ehort talks upon words. £ach word has its atory and many word* are histories and poems in themlv«i. A few brief iilostrations will cotmj an idea of the lessons that •sav be given; , 1. IRiwiott'.- This word was formerly wind-^6^r, nn«l it was constructed to open IHM a door. We still say, k*open the wlnttew." 1 Neighbor,,--A boor wat> a farmer, and sm who lived near was a nigh-boor nowneighbor. 3 Oom-tmSfe.--Formerly a man oar- ried a knife in a case for any nee. We do not us* the case, but we keep the name. 4. WMfolL--yfh^n the felling of UM was prohibited in Eneland, the tenaats wer* only allowed those pros­ trated by the wind. Hence a tornado was a food fortune. Windfall now nsasi good fortune. ft. Humbug.--This word originates from doubt as to the genuineness of Stories from Hamburg. "Tli.it is from Hamburg" "That In Hamburg." 6- Socjh words as Ink-horn, Powder- s, Htubandy or houge-band or bond, f*% from weave, woof, or web, Bay- first ma<ie at the city of Bavonne JOamaak, from Damascus, Currants, Item Corinth, explain themselves. 7. Lunacy.--Luna is the Latin Word far moon. It was once supposed that gh* moon hail a great deal t» do with insanity. Hence the word Lunacy. 8. JHoffond.-aThis Is simply "hollow land." a large part ®f the country be­ low the level of the sea. 9. Breaktiut.--T he name of the mttl whkfe breaks the fast of the night 10. ForMght% or Fourteen nights Butterfly, first applied to insect# of tatter eolor, and from this species to the whole clas*. Doff, to do off; Don. to do onoftput on--and many similar words need simply to have attention called to them. 11. Such names of persons as Black White, Brown, Qray.
