In these' days when so much to
said in American newspapers about
the importance of good roads, it may
be interesting to know how such mat
ters are looked upon in Ecuador. Mr.
Whymper, in his book, says:
I had been rebuked in Quito for
objecting to -the “Royal” route, be
cause our animals had sunk half way
up to their flanks. When I asked my
monitor what he considered a bad
read, be replied:
"A rood to bad when the beasts
tumble into mud holes and vanish
right out of sight.”
At one place my animal stopped
on the brink, unwilling to proceed.
Dismounting I gave it a touch with
the whip. It went head first into
the slough, and emerged on the other
sido a miserable object, dripping
with filth, which for a second had
risen above its hindquarters.
This mud hole was about four feet
deep, and was the finest we discov
ered in Ecuador.

Two Old Word Forma.
Jail, gaol are now ear and eye
thi
forms respectively, of one and the
same word. In earlier days each
had its own distinct pronunciation,
as to attested by the family name
Oayler. Gaol, our oldest sound form,
owes its survival to the influence of
the French goolo, though the anom
aly of g sounded soft before a has
boon vigorously protested against.
Bo far as modern French to con
cerned. tho difference in sound be
tween English ga and French ge is
a fatal objection to gaol. Instead of
following the French in regard to
orthoepy our ancestors ought to have
rejected tho jail and kept the vener
able gaol sound form. The struggle
for existence between the two word
shapes is of old standing.— Notes and
