Gems From Scnool.
One of the latest lists of curiosities of examination papers records these facts: — An antiquarian is a place for animals, and neutral is a kind of reptile. A citadel is one who lives in a city, while a glacier is a mender of windows. A prig is a little boat, and Juggernaut is a mountain in Switzerland. Sapphira is a high priest, a chamois is a kind of big insect, and the Milky Way is the thick, creamy stuff on the top of the milk.
