For example, If a girl in Elizabethan times had suld "confound” something she would have been regarded as a rowdy bug gage and would have been shunned by polite society, because the word “confound" originally vyas a male diction. Also, if she liiid remarked that she was fond of somebody, she would have caused a fitter, beenuse ■’fond" used to mean “foolish." Dry hiv’ior becomes an Impossl ble expression when tt Is eonsidejmi that the original meaning ot humor was to designate a moisture that in old times was believed to be one of the four elements of the human constitution.—Detroit News. , FOR SALE About 100 bn. good yellow corn.
