Paradise In Oriental tongue) meant only a royal ark. Ash tool shed meana literally thun derstruck, coming from "attomare.' A knave was once merely a la<! and a villian only a peasant. To be alRy waar In its snclsnl sense to be blessed. To be officious was to be court' teously ready to do kindly office. If a man was facetious, In the ear !y English, he was but urbane.
