Spanish Nicknames.

One of the peculiar ways in which
Spanish differs from English is in the
names the language gives to all PEG
pie with a certain inffrmitY or peculiar
ity. A blind man is referred to as ell
ciego, a man with but one eye Is
tuerto, a pug nesed man is chato, one
who is cross eyed is'a bisojo. cojo is
alamo man, and a nance has but one
arm. 4 If he is ,humpbached, he is q
jorobado; if baldheaded, a calvo. and
II his hair iscgery short he is a pelon
The feminine titles,for the same classes
are the same, with the exception that
they end in "a" where ,the masculine
terminate with co." These shortnaIaes
are used most commonly. In fact, they
are applied as picknanNs in many
cases, and especially among the llower
classes persons ARE addressed Tor re
ferred to only by these names. 81

on the mantel and rose from his chair
as a sign that he considered that he
had given his patient his allotted share
Of his very valuable time.
Robert Van Ness also stood up. His
face was pale and he Leaned heavily

DIR. Fowler looked at him with an
expression OF pity on his kind face.
You asked my candid opinion, Mr..
Van Ness" he said, and the respect /

me to tell you the plain truth. You are

you are strong enough to heal it. Let
me once more give you my advice:
no excitement, no mental or physical
exertion Of any kind. a nourishing diet,
no win and, first of all, no worrying
and you may still live-perhaps a
year. perhaps more"
Robert Van Ness walked mechani-
cally toward the door, but the doctor
took his hand and said smilingly, as

If this was so then Grace had been a

that Bull wrote God Save the Queen?'
William Chappell and Joshua Maid

of this theory, but one day they found
an i~nconvenient entry in a rare old
Tudor manuscript that threw the
gravest doubt upon their claim.
