Tease \Tease\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Teased}; p. pr. & vb. n.       {Teasing}.] [AS. t[?]san to pluck, tease; akin to OD. teesen,       MHG. zeisen, Dan. t[91]se, t[91]sse. [fb]58. Cf. {Touse}.]       1. To comb or card, as wool or flax. [bd]Teasing matted             wool.[b8] --Wordsworth.          2. To stratch, as cloth, for the purpose of raising a nap;             teasel.          3. (Anat.) To tear or separate into minute shreds, as with             needles or similar instruments.          4. To vex with importunity or impertinence; to harass, annoy,             disturb, or irritate by petty requests, or by jests and             raillery; to plague. --Cowper.                         He . . . suffered them to tease him into acts                      directly opposed to his strongest inclinations.                                                                               --Macaulay.          Syn: To vex; harass: annoy; disturb; irritate; plague;                torment; mortify; tantalize; chagrin.          Usage: {Tease}, {Vex}. To tease is literally to pull or                   scratch, and implies a prolonged annoyance in respect                   to little things, which is often more irritating, and                   harder to bear, than severe pain. Vex meant originally                   to seize and bear away hither and thither, and hence,                   to disturb; as, to vex the ocean with storms. This                   sense of the term now rarely occurs; but vex is still                   a stronger word than tease, denoting the disturbance                   or anger created by minor provocations, losses,                   disappointments, etc. We are teased by the buzzing of                   a fly in our eyes; we are vexed by the carelessness or                   stupidity of our servants.                               Not by the force of carnal reason, But                            indefatigable teasing.                  --Hudibras.                               In disappointments, where the affections have                            been strongly placed, and the expectations                            sanguine, particularly where the agency of                            others is concerned, sorrow may degenerate into                            vexation and chagrin.                  --Cogan.          {Tease tenon} (Joinery), a long tenon at the top of a post to             receive two beams crossing each other one above the other.

Note: The constable of France was the first officer of the                crown, and had the chief command of the army. It was                also his duty to regulate all matters of chivalry. The                office was suppressed in 1627. The constable, or lord                high constable, of England, was one of the highest                officers of the crown, commander in chief of the                forces, and keeper of the peace of the nation. He also                had judicial cognizance of many important matters. The                office was as early as the Conquest, but has been                disused (except on great and solemn occasions), since                the attainder of Stafford, duke of Buckingham, in the                reign of Henry VIII.          2. (Law) An officer of the peace having power as a             conservator of the public peace, and bound to execute the             warrants of judicial officers. --Bouvier.          Note: In England, at the present time, the constable is a                conservator of the peace within his district, and is                also charged by various statutes with other duties,                such as serving summons, precepts, warrants, etc. In                the United States, constables are town or city officers                of the peace, with powers similar to those of the                constables of England. In addition to their duties as                conservators of the peace, they are invested with                others by statute, such as to execute civil as well as                criminal process in certain cases, to attend courts,                keep juries, etc. In some cities, there are officers                called {high constables}, who act as chiefs of the                constabulary or police force. In other cities the title                of constable, as well as the office, is merged in that                of the police officer.          {High constable}, a constable having certain duties and             powers within a hundred. [Eng.]          {Petty constable}, a conservator of the peace within a parish             or tithing; a tithingman.

Congratulate \Con*grat"u*late\, v. t. [imp. & p. p.       {Congratulated}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Congratulating}.] [L.       congratulatus, p. p. of congratulari to wish joy abundantly;       con- + gratulari to wish joy, from gratus pleasing. See       {Grateful}.]       To address with expressions of sympathetic pleasure on       account of some happy event affecting the person addressed;       to wish joy to.                   It is the king's most sweet pleasure and affection to                congratulate the princess at her pavilion. --Shak.          {To congratulate one's self}, to rejoice; to feel             satisfaction; to consider one's self happy or fortunate.          Syn: {To Congratulate}, {Felicitate}.          Usage: To felicitate is simply to wish a person joy. To                   congratulate has the additional signification of                   uniting in the joy of him whom we congratulate. Hence                   they are by no means synonymous. One who has lost the                   object of his affections by her marriage to a rival,                   might perhaps felicitate that rival on his success,                   but could never be expected to congratulate him on                   such an event.                               Felicitations are little better than                            compliments; congratulations are the expression                            of a genuine sympathy and joy.      --Trench.

A confidential friend is employed to negotiate;                   an inferior agent is made use of on an intrigue.                               I would, my son, that thou wouldst use the power                            Which thy discretion gives thee, to control And                            manage all.                                 --Cowper.                               To study nature will thy time employ: Knowledge                            and innocence are perfect joy.      --Dryden.

A iron instrument which is attached to a ship by a cable             (rope or chain), and which, being cast overboard, lays             hold of the earth by a fluke or hook and thus retains the             ship in a particular station.          Note: The common anchor consists of a straight bar called a                shank, having at one end a transverse bar called a                stock, above which is a ring for the cable, and at the                other end the crown, from which branch out two or more                arms with flukes, forming with the shank a suitable                angle to enter the ground.          Note: Formerly the largest and strongest anchor was the sheet                anchor (hence, Fig., best hope or last refuge), called                also {waist anchor}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Taxing       (Luke 2:2; R.V., "enrolment"), "when Cyrenius was governor of       Syria," is simply a census of the people, or an enrolment of       them with a view to their taxation. The decree for the enrolment       was the occasion of Joseph and Mary's going up to Bethlehem. It       has been argued by some that Cyrenius (q.v.) was governor of       Cilicia and Syria both at the time of our Lord's birth and some       years afterwards. This decree for the taxing referred to the       whole Roman world, and not to Judea alone. (See {CENSUS}.)
