. : .Pension. ,
"Pension" is a mouse the ' numerous
esses ol words ot Latlu origin spe
cialized to menu something which tUe
original did not mean to the Komans.
"Pension" aiguilles simply a payment
in tbe broadest sense, and we are at
liberty to draw tbe sound moral that a
pension is uot really suniethluK throwu
lu us a gratuity, but deferred pay.
The word tor a soldier's . pay was
"srlpeudlutu." und here we have au
orher curious sbirt or uieaitlug. No
body wpeitks or a soldier's "sUpeua"
now. it is a magistrate or a clergy
man whose pay receives that name.
The "supendium" was paid in lumps
three or tour times a year, and the
word came to be used to uicuu a year's
