PHRASES THAT STICK TO US.

Csrsous Figures Of Speech That Have Be
come Incorporated In Our Language.
The queer phrase my friend and
pitcher" was still sometimes heard in
Maryland and Virginia-also. am
told, in Pennsylvania, until within re-
cent years, but would seem now TO be
obsolete hereabouts. Is it still in use
elsewhere? pitcher had the mean
ing Of chum, crony or familiar acquain-
unexpectedly, perhaps. said OF, or
to, one of the opposite sex. The say
ing Little pitchers have long ears" and
the briefer Shakespearean Pitchers
have ears furnish possibly some anal
ogy.
Here in Maryland long lease OF life,
or at all events of memory, was secured
for the phrase by it's use in the name OF
a patent of land in Baltimore county
granted in 1899, the full name OF which,
"My Sweet Girl, My Friend and Pitch
er." has met the amused glance OF
many conyeyancer searching the
indices OF our land records. The same
day when this patent was issued out OF
the land Office of Maryland the pat
entee received patents for five other
tracts, and the cheerful spirit of an ex-
pectant or recent bridegroom is per-
haps reflected in the names he chose
for them, for three of the others are:
"Here is Life Without Care and Love
Without Fear" "With Little Am Con-
tent" and .Hug Me Snug" One re-
Rrets to learn that within the year our
patentee sold all six of the parcels
(nearly 500 acres) for "G 200 current
money" $533,33.
For some years in the earlier part Of
this century the indices of the land
records of Baltimore county give not
only the names of granter and grantee
but the names of the tracts conveyed
and very whimsical these often are
Besides many such names as "Meg's
Recompense," or Johns Last Chance
or Repentance" or Folly" we come
across such curious titles as the fol
lowing: bad Roads at Midnight,
"Come by Chance" ''Cuckold Maker
Palace" "Fingal and Ossin," "Habnat
(hobnob) at Venture" "Harry's de
light in Army Garden" ""Poor Jamaica
Mans Plague" ''Silent Cyphers of AT
rica," 'Seek No Further, for Better
Can't Be Found" and "Gen. Rocham
beau, the Friend of Washington, and
Therefore, the Friend of Universe
Liberty"
Returning to the phrase my frient
and pitcher" it is interesting to not
that although the word pitcher" il
the sense in which it is here used is no
to be found-so far as KNOWN an.
dictionary, the expression was certain
ly not unknown in England some s.
years ago, for it is introduced in one o

YOU are surprised to see that the quar-
tcrmaster keeps turning it almost con-
stantly. You have slways Thought that
he had simply to keep his eye on the
floating compass in the box directly IN
front of him and hold the ship steady
on her course. AS you look at the COM
pass you see the ship veering now TINS
way and now that, as she rolls and
ulunces, or as one screw turns faster
than the other. and thus pulls the ship
around. 1t is hard to make two indie
pendent screws go exactly at the same
speed, and so this man at the wheel is
busy all the time turning the ship
straight He has to fight the waves
and the screws and the winds ut the
same time, and he is busy man.
This steering wheel controls the ship
by means of a small column of oil in a
little tule. By turning the wheel this
vay or that the oil in the tube is forced
uc and down, and that opens or closes
certain valves in the steam-steering
gear 400 feet away. and the rudder is

AS you look about you see fastened to
the cornice directly in front of tho
wheelman little scale in black with

dial on it, and as the ship rolls you see

takes about second for every degree

another long black gauge, and the dials
point to cerain figures, generally be-
tween 90 and 95. These lials are little
electrical devices, showing exactly how

what is going on in the engine-rooms.
Over in the corner of the room is an
other curious electrical device. 1t is a
| little box with clock in it. The cap
tain tells you it is the machine that
controls the whistle in time of fog. The
law requires long blast of the whistle
at such times every two minutes. By
pressing a button on this little clock
apparatus, and by setting the clock in
a certain manner, the whistle is blown
automatically for seven seconds every
minute. There can be no error of man
in that work. just as sure as every
minute comes around that whistle
will blow seven seconds. Under the old
way, when a man pulled the whistle
cord, there was no cxactness in the
work. When the fog is over the button
is released and the whistle stops.-Har-

BURIAL OF a GREAT ARTIST.
Story Of Paganinrs Death Recalled by
Recent ELIMINATION.

Story Of Paeaninrs Death Recalled BY
Recent ELIMINATION.
The late exhumatior of Paganinl's
remains, near Parma, brings to mem
ory all the other peregrinations they
have gone through since they were first
taken to the Nice cemetery in 1o4O-
when Nice still belonged to Italy. Be-
ing refused there, however, because
Paganini was not of Nice, the remains
were taken to Marscelles, where they
were also refused admittance. Not
even Genoa, where Paganini was born,
would receive his body because an
epidemic was then raging. \ like re-
fusal was received at Cannes.
Shall tell you why it was so hard
to find a resting place for his bones?
It was common belief that Paganini
had sold his soul to the devil, who
would take it Immediately after the
poor man died! So. for five years,
the body was left on the rocks of San
Ferreol, where it might be still had
not the duchess of Parma insisted in
having it buried in the Villa Gaime.
In 1858. the coffin had to be changed,
and in 1876 the body was again re-
moved, this time to the cemetery OF
Parma. Then, however, all the people
in Parma crowded the river side, down
which the body was carried by night,
to the light Of hundreds OF torches.
Baron Attilius Paganini, grandson OF
the violinist, was also present. Once
more, in 1898, the vault was opened,
and the features of the great man we're
again seen. And now again the vault
has been opened for repairs. A friend
writes and says that the face is still
perfectly preserved. The lower part
of the body is mere bone; the face, how
ever, is as perfect as ever, and has been
photographed. Baron Achilles, Paga-
minis son (now an old man), has caused
the body to be placed in another cofhn'
and this time a large piece OF glass has
been placed in the coffin. Thus any
artist visiting Parma may now see the
features of Paganini by asking Baron
Achilles permission.
1 am told that much OF the music
which bears Pagnnini's name was never
written by him at all. His real com
positions, however, are now gong to De
published, and they will be surprise
to artists on account of their mechan'
ical difficulties, which will be perfect

When Alaric besieged Rome, A. D.

city. he demanded as it's ransom from
pillage an immense quantity OF gold,

things, 1900 pounds of pepper.
Perhaps the most striking evidence
of thrift since that referred to by Ham
let is furnished by a Maine town, where
apple trees are to be planted in grave
yard and the proceeds from the sale OF
the fruit are to be devoted to the re-
pairing of the fences and the cutting OF
weeds.
As far as recorded, the loss of life
by shipwreck in 1895 was 4,250; by rail-
way accidents, 1862, and by other casu-
alities over $4,000. Add to these dis
NAL figures the $3.50 reported murders
in the United States alone, and we have
a total of 1854 violent deaths, or an
average of over 100 for every day in the
year.

ANTARCTIC POSSIBILITIES.

Explorer Borchgrevink Thinks There May
BE q Future for Commerce There.
The recent antarctic expedition was
a commercial one, and commercially 1T
was a failure, because we did not find
the right whale, SO valuable for its
whalebone. The Antarctic was fitted
out for the hunt of that particular kind
of whale; nevertheless, l have no
doubt that the commercial result OF the
expedition would have been much bet
ter had we worked under more favora-
BILE auspices.
do not by any means consider the
fact of our not having met with the
right whale in those seas as conclusive
proof of their nonexistence in the bay
at Victoria Land. The Antarctic found
the right whale at Campbell island in
the winter time; the boats fastened to
five of them, of which, however, only
one was caught. Now, to me it does
not seem improbable that these whales
go south to the bay of Victoria Land,
where Ross saw them, in the summer.
and then return north in the winter.
It would seem incredible that man OF
Sir James Ross standing, supported as
he was by able scientists and expert
enced whalcrs, should have made n
grave error when he said that this
valuable whale was to be found in
large numbers in these southern lati-
tudes.
The difference in the appearance OF
the blue whale, as we found it there,
and the right whale, in the method Of
spouting, is SO striking that even the
most casual observer could not easily
be deceived. Very possibly, had we
penetrated farther into the large open
bay discovered by Ross in the vicinity
Of the volcano peaks Erebus and Ter
rOr, we. too, would have found the right
whale in great numbers. We saw very
many blue whales, but had not the ap-
pliances to take them.
As I remarked at the international
geographical congress-, we found few
seals. They increased, however, in
number az we worked eastward, and
seemed afraid of the land. All OF the
seals that we met on the shore showed
much uncasincss and speedily made for
the water, fact which strengthened
my. belief in the existence Of large
enemy Of the seal on the continent.
do not doubt that the seals congregate
together in larger numbers at some
places ON the bay.
I consider the guano beds which wa
i discovered Of great commercial impor-
lance. and they ought to be weh worth
the attention of enterprising business
men. The specimen which brought
back with me contains large Per
centage Of ammonia
Furthermore. from the analysis OF
the specimen Of rock which / brought
back with me, the possible and prob
able presence Of valuable minerais on
the continent h proved, although the
lara and the volcanic aspect OF the
coast Nne do not speak favorably Tor
the presence Of ;leavy metals near the
surface.-C. E. Dorchgrevink. IN Cen
