False Usage of Words.

Sometimes great wisdom lies in adyer-
t.sements, and when an editor of a die
tionary talks about his own dictionary in
terms that may be applied to other die
tionaries it may not be amiss to con-
slider them.
Real definition secures against false
meanings. You may read that the earth
quake at krakatoa transpired August
70, 1855. Now. when an earthquake hap
pens it has no occasion to .transpire, for
it is at once widely known to large part
of the earths inhabitants. But to tran
spire is to become known slowly or grad
ualiy-.to exhaie, as it were, into pub
Lefty. 1t may 'transpire' that a sup
posed wealthy man was bankrupt al
his death. The use of the word as a
synonym for happen is a recent corrup-
ton, and also unfortunate, inasmuch as
we have two perfectly good synonyms for
happen namely. occur and take place.
not to mention chance. come TO pass
and certain others. You may have been
accustomed to saying that some one S
conduc: .aggravates' you. But your c.
tionary will tell you that is a false use
of the word. 'Aggravate' means to in
crease and no one can 'aggravate
your temper to anger unless IL was
Ill temper to start with. Disease may
be aggravated by anxiety but for the
sense of arousing to anger you have a
number OF good words, sucn as anger,
.ayaSnerafe' 'irritate' or provoke.
