tains thousands of stamps, some

The American group is remark
able for its completeness. Many
of them have an immediate

Whore the Words Came From and How
TLey Became Popular.

Where the Words Came From and How
Tley Became Popular.
G'hcro can DO no doubt that tho word
bago Is derived from tho Portuguese
word Diego (James,) tho patron saint
OF Portugal. About 80 years ago an OK
haustive research was made by the New
Yorl; Leader to ascertain the derivation
Of this wo't, with this result; Tho first
recorded i lance of its use was n GUS
toms entry, abQut tho year 1890, OF a
ship helontingto Davis & Brooks which
traded be, >en New Yuy,, and Mediter-
ranean ports. The skipper. after writ
ing in the entry his name and that of
his mates and American sailors, wound
mp with land three Dagos ~ He was
asked for an explanation by the custom
house people, showing that the word
and its meaning were new to them. He
replied that he meant three Portuguese,
all of tho same name, Diego, which he
had spelled incorrectly, and that he had
shipped them at Funohal.
In those days Italian sailors were sell
dom found out of the Mediterranean,
and Spanish sailors only on Spanish
ships, but the Portuguese sailors would
take berth ON any craft without regard
to the Gag it sailed under, SO that it was
very hard to find ship without two or
three natives of either tho Azores,
Canary or Cape Verde islands among the
crew. They made splendid sailors and
worked cheap, an important considera-
tiou in the eyes of Yankee shippers, par
ticularly whalers, who invariably
sought these islands On their way to the
Pacific to corr plete their crews and catch
tho southwest trade winds.
Tie name Diego was so plentiful
among the Q Portuguese sailors that it
got to be the custom to call them all
Diego" or Dago, much as all China
men are called John. As they were a
good natured lot they took it kindly
until along in the forties the manner of
its application became offensive to
them Since then it has been applied to
spaniards, Italians and all dark skinned
people other than negroes.
An equally interesting story can be
told of the word gringo, so much used
by our Mexican neighbors. The accept
ed version of this words origin is to the
effect that some American sailors,
ashore ON the harbor of Mazatlan, get
ting water, sang the old ditty, Green
Grow the Rushes, o." and the natives
took kindly to the melody, ever after.
ward calling the Americans gringos.
Tire year 1916 is given as the date OF
this happening.
Now, as long ago as 1925 the firm Of
Rowland & Aspinwall did an immense
business with the west coast Of Mexico.
Their agents in Mazatlan were the
Mossrs Barre & Kennedy. There is in
| Now York city, in the family of Robert
Lennox Kennedy, letter from Mr..
Lewis Barre of this firm, dated Mazat.

sic, Tho captain vouched for him as

one tune, "Green Grow the Rushes. o."
This was his entire repertory. They
danced everything to this tune, singing
the song at tho same time, and the en-
tertainment furnished lots Of fun.
In a subsequent letter no writes that
from this entertainment his Mexican
friends had evolved nickname for
Americans that was coming greatly in
to use, grirgo. which was as near as
they could come to the pronunciation Of

this word could become word of OPP

A Couple of Condolences.

Some little time ago heard of an &C.
currence that took place at Broadway
and Chambers street on cable car, and
incidentally it was stated that no one
saw it because there was no other vehicle
on the block. AS this was in the middle
of the afternoon it seemed incredible
till I tested it personally. Twice / have
seen that very condition of things right
there, once on the block below Cham
bers and once on the block above, and
again on the heavily travelled block be-
tween John and Fulton, and yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock there was SINH
lar vacuum Of vehicles on the block be-
tween Cortlandt and Liberty. Below and
above, Broadway was full enough of
wagons going both ways. 1t reminded
me Of the passageway for the Israelites
through the Red sea. New York is full
of such things if only one happens or is
idle enough to observe them On priori
reasoning, CT principles Of average, the
odds apparently would be millions to
one against such an event. Yet l have
seen it four times within short period.
Some might say here that the man
who looks for such things is the only
man who finds them. Let me set against
this another experience Of mine to the
contrary For something over six years
