A NEW NAUTICAL VOCABULARY.
Additions Made by Young Women From
Fresh Water Regions.

The yachtsman's voca bulary is Ian
guage in itself, and the landsman often
runs afoul of it. He doesn't see why
one rope should be called sheet, an
other a halyard, a third downhaul
and a forth a clewline. One boat
owner, whose hospitable deck is trod-
den by many of his friends, has modi-
fed his terms to confirm with the sug-
gestions or mistakes of his guests who
are not expert sailors.
For instance, one landlubber who
had gone below for a drink of water
was asked what he had done with the
cup.
Il hung it on the post" he said, in
nocently.
Everyone roared at the idea that he
could be so green as mot to know
what the mast was called, but on that
yacht the mast is now known as the
post"
A pretty girl from ''fresh water"
district was responsible for another
nautical word. The strips of canvas
used in tying up the sails are called
stops. Some one wanted the stops and
could not find them for the instant.
''What are you looking for?~ asked
the young woman.
Il am looking for the stops. They
were here a little while ago
The stops? Oh, you mean the tapes.
They're under this rug"
And now the sails are bound with
''tapes."
Another young woman from an in
terror state had read enough nautical
stories TO have caught a few phrases
here and there For one thing. she
knew that hard tack was a staple
article of diet at sea. On a visit to the
east this damsel went sailing. She was
anxious to learn. and when she heard
the man at the wheel say hard a lee,
she asked some questions, and found
out what it meant.
A little later the steersman said the
yacht was going about. Some of the
guests were paying no attention. and
seemed in danger of being struck by
the boom as it swept over TO the other
sike of the yacht.
Hard tack, hard tack. cried out the
young woman. eXcitedly.
All managed TO duck their heads IN
time to escape the spar, If they didn't
know what the maiden meant by hard
tack" and another joke was added To
the Yachts store of them. N. Y. Trib-

Italy, in Greece, in Asia, IN distant In
dian glens, dim temples stand to this
day, haunted or blessed. perhaps by the
presence of that mystic spirit which
outlasts all ages. And the market
place has its familiar genius also, the
busy center of the crowded city, the
broad thoroughfare of the great me-
tropolis, silent for a few hours under
the summer moonlight or the winter
rain. Old castles. too. deserted villages,
uninhab ited homes of dead populations
all have wraiths, the ghosts OF what
they have been. silent to the many, but
more eloquent 10 the few than any hui
man speech can ever be. And besides all
these, there are spots where nature has
never been nodded by man. where she
Is sovereign and he is subject-lonely
places by the sea, great sunlit silences
where man has not dared to dwell be-
cause nature there would give him
nothing. nor was he able TO take any
thing from her And the spirit of
those places is more lonely, and grander,
and mightier, than the genius loci of
the market-place, or OF the deserted
Italian villa, where the red-star cracks
the speechless statues" or even of the
shady cIoister or of the wind-swept
temples of banished gods. The song
of songs is still unwritten. though ma
lures music makes mans grandest
symphonies ridiculous, and sounds

who has ears to hear

Cleveland gives hearty handshake to

From the Wednesday after the New

Noone appreciates the power of the
social element in politics so mIsch as
the wives of nominees for Office. It is
idle to say that women have no part in
the government when all the time this
power behind the throne is at work
upon the very vitals Of the nation.
Many 2 nan has been sent to the
segisla1ure because his wife is o good
cook, and there are whispers 60 the ef-
feet that GrovcrCleveland wouldD never
have been reelected had not his wife
won so many friends by reason Of the
charming social qualities which she
displayed during his first term.
BE that asit1nay, Washington society
would not be what IL S. without Mrs.
cleveland and the ladies Of the cabinet.
In no city OF the United States other
shan Washington could nine ladies be
selected from any social circle who
would represent so many sections OF

Tho Washington Post, an independent
Democratic newspaper, in commenting
upon the result of the election in Maine
and elsewhere. says: "The result is
what thoughtful and intelligent people
of all parties had expected. Tho figures
are little larger than some and little
smaller than others had counted on, but
the effect is an overwhelming Republic
an victory, and that Is what everybody
had looked for. "
This seems to be the universal opinion
expressed by all reliable newspapers in
the country, whether Democratic, Re-
publican or independent. Our country
is always intelligent and patriotic The
people are seldom mistaken They can
be relied upon in great emergencies. and
1t is clear that they have determined to
accept the Republican party rs the
safest, the wisest and the most whole.
some custodians of the national welfare,
and all may look without disappoint-
ment for great victory in the coming
election this fall.
