81 went to a big revival meeting
week" said a travelling inspector Of
Indian agencies who fitted into town
a couple of days ago. The revival
had been going on in one Of the big
halls down there for some time and the
best sheep were being gathered in by
the sleWs. The minister conducting
the meetings was of the perfcrvldcst
kind, and at the end of each Of his
surrounding sentences picturing the
ways of evil he would command all Of
those in the crowd who wanted TO be
saved to stand up. There'd be a size
able bunch come to a perpendicular
posture every time, and he'd count
them out loud and bestow words Of
praise upon them for their nerve in
standing up. A couple OF young fell
lows who sat next to mt got up to go
out just as the minister came to one
of the counting periods. and as they
got out into the aisle he shouted:
1.-TWO MORE
"When, however, he saw the young
chaps proceeding down the aisle to-
ward the door, he added the words:
Gone to perdition.'
One of the young fellows, who
looked like a mountaineer in Little
Rock for a warm time. turned around
in his tracks, gazed at the minister
sleepily, and said:
"'All right, pard; see you later.'"-

mJ Pipes"

AD able seaman a "iarbee."
A stoker is a 'cinder knotter."
The Master-at-.Arms Chief of Police

Fresh meat boiled with vegetables in
the copper is copper rattle" while

for the pepperboX; IA similar request
for a ''gibby" means n spoon.
TO hear a man being 'smashed'
means that he has lost his petty officer
rating, while to hear that he got a
Gift expresses the opposite-that he
has received promotion.
A man breaking his leave is said to
be 'stething it," and if after punish
ment he is heard to upbraid himself for
his folly. he is said to be ''flOgging the
cat" Long may your big jib draw"
conveys to Il mcSSmate all the possible
good you can wish him; while "In
stretch YOU alon like a Yankee main
tack" has n far different meaning.

mlraf' is often used to describe the
bulk of a person who is considered to
oc putting on side.
70 he told that you look like "a billy

up" means that he is dead.
"HaCgie" doesn't sound very select
but such is the expression used on the
lower deck. Once a mar takes a Xix
ing to one man more thar the remand
er'of the ships company. they at once
become known as ~'raggieS."
Naval proverbs are interesting. but
not very expressive. For instance
'First on the topsail and last in the
beef skid" is that expression made con
corning a smart
Pick him up and pipe clay him ant
he'll do again." is often used to express
that a marine has Slipped down Il lad
