The young girl mentioned was had
up before the magistrate by farmer
for killing one of his ducks with a

clear, but 1t was thought worth while
to call witnesses to prove that she was
very naughty indeed and In the habit

primitive people had learned to put

wanted to express the idea of sharp
ness of mind they used the same word.
This root went into the Greek, where
it became "akros," meaning pointed.
In Sanskrit 1t Is acre" meaning the
same thing. In the Latin We find
"acrimonia," sign.fying sharpness from
which our "acrid" comes. The Latin
also has "acer," meaning sharp, and
"acus," needle. In the Anglo-Saxon
