Queer History of Some Words.


Speaking % the strange, eventful his
tory OF words, the Hartford Courant
notes that queen" originally meant
simply a woman, but now designates
the most glitterin2 place which the
earth can bestow, while with the slight
~ different spelling of 'quean" it
stands for woman of different sort;
SO, too, "l1nave" at the start meant
only a boy, as in the German form,
''knabe;" but as boys go wrong some
times the word in time obtained an un-
pleasant meaning. The word limp"
might have been added as having very
much the same history of ''knave," for,
meaning, first, a scion or shoot, it next
stood for a child, and now it means IN
inferior devil. Lord Bacon spoke of
''those most virtuous and goodly young
imps, the duke of Suffolk and his
brother"
