MARINE NOMENCLATURE.

Some OF the Absurditics shown In
Naming Ships----Son onething In
Name.
A writer in The Post says on this point:
seThe admiration we may feel for one of our
own number, be he fellow citizen, a men,
ber of our family, or friend, should never
move us to place his name on place from
which it can never be erased, except at great
inconvenience. What man would wish TO
buy and dwell in house with the name OF
another, who perhaps died in disgrace, irrevo-
cably cut over the doora Yet this is what
shipmas eIs are asked to do every day"
There is q fine ship somewhere on the ocean,
bearing our flag, and under it the name ct
"Abner 1. Benyon." The original owner OF
that name does not find a residence under
that flag at all wholesome. A few years ago
one of the largest vessels ever built in Maine
was sold at auction just prior to completion.
She was a stately monarch of the deep, and
had she carried any name of public interest,
whether it was Estate Rights or "Daniel
Webster" no one could have found fault.
But she is accursed forever by the name Of L.
Schepp.n As Jack called the vessel which
bore the great Napoleon to- ST. Helena the

the above-named vessel, unless brlbed my
crew with plum duff and stewed chicken
every day, should expect to be known as
the captain of the Hell-ship.
The late Thatcher Morgan of New York was
often asked by his wife why be did not name
q ship after her, and at last he told her he
would name the very next vessel he built for
her. His wife was very early riser, SO Mr.
Morgan called the ship Herald Of the Morn
ing" Referring to this incident the writer
above quoted says:
II repeat to-day what ! wrote then, that
the builder showed rare discretion and genuine.

is it matter of SO small moment as many
may think. remember admiring the grace

as she lay OF an East Boston wharf in ballast
for New Orleans. I am the opposite Of an
admirer of the regicide ruler and the oppres-
sor of Ireland, but ] am seilor enough to
believe that that ship would never have nam

years if she had not derived from her nane
some OF the protectors obstinacy and iron

@This is not superstition, but reason. Senti-

In the tirst stages of the manufacture
of wood pulp for paper, poplar was re-
gal ded as prominently adapted for the
purpose, and for considerable time it
was thought that only that wood, bass
wood, and few other kinds could be
ground into suitable pulp. Now,
however, machines are made which turn
out pulp with equal facility from all
kinds OF wood. The longest fibre is
made from willow. Eastwood and poplar
ranking next, respectively. Cedar, fir,
and hemlock are said to work about
alike; maple has fibre shorter thar
that of either spruce or pine, and is
quite hard to grind; birch is very hard
and grinds quite short. Poplar and
buckeye pulps remain white Tor q con-
siderable time, other woods changing
color; birch becomes pink. maple turns
purple, and Eastwood takes on reddish

Young America.S Painful Lacking.

About two years ago there was organized
in New York city society for the purpose
Of disseminating a knowledge of political
science among the people through lectures
and printed tracts. A leading purpose of the
organization is to farniliarize young Aneri-
cans with the workings Of their own system
of government national, state, municipal,
county and township The society has issued
many valuable publications, and branches,
have boen established in many large cities
At Ann Arbor university, Michigan, there is
special faculty of political science, special
attention is given to our own governmental
system and tho systems Of other nations are
carefully explained. Such instruction is very
greatly needed in the public as well as in the
private schools of the country.
There is q painful lack of information
among young Americans of the political and
constitutional history OF the United States.
They know little of the history of the colonies,
or of the history Of the causes which lei to
tho construction of our present organic law,
or of the principles of political partios during
two or three decades Of our history. 1t is
true that Mr.. Nordheff's "Politics for Young
Americans. and Johnson's Handbook OK
American Politics, !" have had large saleand
arc uEsd to some extent in schools, but the IN
formation contained in these works should be
moro widely diffused. In the public schools,
especially, Is such information needed. The
boys and girls in tho country should be abio
TO give a reason for the existence OF the gov
eminent they live under.
