TRUE MEANING OF "MORTIFY"

Real Significance.

The strange acquired meanings of
many words were being discussed the

said: Il wonder how "mortify'' has
come to mean something similar to
humiliate. The word shows on its
face that 1t was derived from the two
rootWords which mean death and to

in the dictionary and it was found
originally to have been used in rela-
ton to making dead" the carnal az

were quoted showing a use Of the
word entirely different from ours at

politeness and ServIII+y

No one can deny that there is vast
room for improvement in American
politeness. especially in the north. But
politeness and servility are far apart.
II does not take long to tell whether
a man is fawning upon you or merely
using ordinary civility, The latter
any man has right to expect. But
none but . self-satisfed prig expects
others to be servile or will tolerate
that quality when he ands 1t.
