The Union Jack.

Good Words: Hoisted at the mizzen-
top of a ship. at the same time as the
flag of the lord high admiral at the fore,
it signifies that the sovereign is aboard ;
while an admiral of the fleet hoists it at
the main. 1t is then properly called the
great union, as also when properly dis
played ashore. When flown from staff
(hence called the jackstaffD it becomes
the union jack, name under which the
great union often passes. Again it forms
the jack of the seamen which is a flag
bearing the colors of the union surround
ed by border of white, one-fifth the
breadth of the flag, and which hoisted
at the fore, becomes a signal for a pilot.
and hence Is often called the pilot Jack.
The origin of the word Jack is I'M
known. The meaning, as understood to-
day, is something shown" and in this
sense the application of the word is now
limited to the union flag. Some have
supposed 1t to be derived from the jack
or jaCque, the tunic worn in early times
by men-at-arms, those of Englishmen be-
ing decorated with the cross of st.
George, which Jackets, when not in use,
We're hung in rows, side by side thus
displaying the blood-red cross which was
at once their banner and their shield
Others regard the name as coming from
that of the sovereign James (Jacobus or
Jaques). who was the first to hoist 1t as
a national emblem. Whatever it's deriva-
ton, its meaning remains.
