THE ARMY TITLE ORIGINS
to Greek and Roman Days-Some
Curious Derivatives.

An article on the origin of the names
of weapons Of war has led us to specu-
late idly on the origin of rank in the
army, with more or less interesting re-
suits.
We find that private comes from
the Latin "privatus,' meaning de-
prived. Probably that's because the
humble private is deprived of the priv
fleges of his officers; or maybe it is
because he is deprived of his freedom.
At any rate the Latin term is prettier
than the Greek. The Greek private
soldier was called "idiotes" and he
was supposed to be SO ignorant that
we derive the word idiot" from him.
Corporal is corrupted from "cap-
oral' and it's root Is the same as that
of captain" from "caput," a head. The
corporal is sort of head private, in
theory. A sergeant is higher rank, but
the derivation of his title Is lower; for
Sergeant" is from the low Latin "serv.
iens," meaning a servant.
Captain" we have considered; it's
earlier form is captain" and it is thus
IN the Spanish. L1eutenant' is 10
cum tenens''-one who takes anothers
place. The old English form was
'1ieftenaunt," and from that pronuncia
ton 'leftenant" still fingers in Eng
land. Major is simply the Latin
word for greater and mayor is on
ly another form of.the word in diff
ferent application. "Colonep' is from
the Italian "colonnella," meaning lit
| tie column. How the little col
umn or regiment, gave it's name
| to the commander thereof is some
what uncertain. Cadet is an inter
esting word. It comes from the Gas
con "capdet" and means little cap
tain, or the youthful member of g
head family. "-Cleveland Plain Deal

City Men Better DeveIoned.

City men are better developed than
country men, according to the report
OF German army surgeon, who bases
his statement on the result of the ex-
animation Of 10000 soldiers. He says
the farmers were inferior in carriage
and in development of bone and mus
Gle, and that he found among them
more cases of curvature of the spine,
hat-foot and varicose veins than
among the city men.

A robin which Edward Beltrando, a

lone thing that troubled me in the
past was the way in which wrong was
dealt with Many times l felt that the
person dealing with the wrong was doing
it from dutys standpoint without they
themselves sensing the awfulness of the
wrong in their own souls; but John does.
He Is so delicate and sensitive in his
spirit that his whole being recoils from
wrong. To him sin means sin: and while
he is patient. kind, tender and loving, Fe-
markedly SOY, yet his keen sense of the
awfulness of wrong wakes up the person
being dealt with to what sin means in a
very different way than when dealt with
from duty's standpoint Such dealings
bring JOY and restful confidence. II I
