proved that sailors superstitution is not

hoisted on the dock to have new mooring

pine stick that originally saw duty as A

obscurity by the fact that the old fender
has been shifted so often that the oldest
whartinger could not call up its origin or

early days II was intended 10 propiuate

among all nations. The custom is still

A Talk About Drums.

Drums are probably an Eastern idea
introduced by the Crusaders into Europe.
They are frequently mentioned in the
accounts Of the first Crusade. When Ed

their triumphal entry into Calais in 1917,
"tambours," or drums, were among the
instruments which were played in their
honor. Another of these was called
"nacaire," or kettledrum, taken, together
with its name, from the Aiabs. The poet
Chaucer also mentions this instrument In
his description of the tournament in the
knights Tale.

che occasion gave sum of COS. to Roger

others. for their performances. Another
II instrel was called the "cheveretter,"
or player on the bagpipe.
