One of the peculiar waysin which Spanish differs from English is in the names the language gives to all peo- 'ple with a certain inrmity or peculiar- ity. A blind man is referred to as er ciego, a man with but one eye is a tnerto, a pug nosed man is chato, one who is cross eyed is a blsojo. a mic is a lame man. and a manco has but one arm. 11' he is humpbacked. he is a jorohado: it baldhended, a culvo, and. it his hair is very short he isa pelon- The feminine titles for the same classes ire the same, with the exception that they -end in "a". where the masculine terminate with '0. These short names are need most commonly. In fact, they are applied` as nicknames in many cases. and especially among the lower classes persons are addressed or re- V (erred to only _by these names. rvvluuutg.
