PHRASES OF SEA FOLK.
Quaint Expressions In Use Amongst
the Fishermen of New
England.

The speech of the New England fish
ermen is full of phrases of the sea,
says the Saturday Evening Post. Serv-
ant girls are said to ''ship for six
months when they engage. A young
man "ships" himself to a sweetheart
when they are affianced and a church
is said to have 'shipped' new pastor,
who is apt to be called the skipper
of the church. The master of the house
is invariably the skipper" If a man
is prosperous he is said to be "mal.
ing headway;" if the reverse, he is
'going to leeward." If one feels chilly
he says that he is ''crimmy.' If he
loses his way in the dark he is pix.
Hated" The ceiling of a room is q
'planchment." A careless piece OF
work is a ''frouch." A dish improper.
ly cooked is ''cautch.'' When anybody
acts with gross improperly it is said
of him that he ought to be ''squealed
up" which means that it would be well
to throw stones at him. The fisher
men of Grand Manan have a patois Of
their own. When one of them speaks
of his "brush," you do not at first sus-
pect that he refers to his hair. His
boots are "stompers," while his knife
is a "throater." He applies "she" to
everything. from his wife 10 a cart
wheel or a clock. On Nantucket is
land, again, when a woman says that
her 'hold is clean swep'," she means
that she is hungry.

LEMONS PUT TO GOOD USE.

A dash of lemon in plain water is an
excellent toothwash. 1t not only re-
moves tartar, but sweetens the breath.
Two or three slices of lemon in a cup
of strong tea will cure a nervous head
ache.
Lemon juice (outward application
will allay the irritation caused by the
bites of gnats and flies.
Glycerin and lemon juice, half and
half, on bit of absorbent cotton, is
the best thing in the world wherewith
to moisten the lips and tongue Of a
-parched patient.
The finest of manicure acids is made
by putting a teaspoonful of lemon
juice in cupful of warm water. This
removes most stains from the fingers
and nails, and loosens the cuticle more
Sa satisfactorily than can be done by the
use of a sharp instrument.
Lemon juice and salt will remove rust
stains from linen without injury to the
fabric. Wet the stains with the mix
ture and put the article in the sun.
Two or three applications may be nee
essary if the stain is of long standing,
but the remedy never fails.

AN ENTANGLING ALLIANCE.
Mark Hanna'a Methods Exposed in
His IniQuitOus Ship Sub
sidy Scheme

Because of his distinguished party
leadership and services Senator Hanna
is looked upon as the chief hope and
mainstay of the ship subsidy bill. The
purposes and methods embodied in
this measure have been made clear to
the readers of the public press and
the expressions of opinion elected
from all sections show an overwhelm-
ing majority against it's enactment.
Even the shipbuilders and the ship
owners are divided among themselves,
those in opposition contending that
the $9,O00,000 to be annually distrib-
uted will go to favored combine now
in process of formation and that there
Will be a great shipping trust sus-
tanned and fattened by government
bounty.
The fundamental and fatal weak
ness of the bill lies in its assumption
of the right to use public moneys, Sc
cured through the taxation of the en-
tire people, to aid private individuals
to build ships and reap an increased
profit from traffic on the high seas.
Aside from the fact that the move is
to help favored portion of those who
represent a special interest, it in
dorses national policy which would
sanction the subsidizing of car build
ing, additional bounty being given for
speed and capacity, of wagon making
or of any other industry promotive of
trade or the traffic that serves it.
According to the reports from
Washington, Senator Hanna is dis
gruntled because this bill, refused
support in the national convention of
his party and never advocated by re-
publican orator or editor during the
campaign, has been shunted in order
to make way for the army bill. Among
the evidences of his displeasure is his
alleged purpose to oppose an appro-
priati ton for improving the Cleveland
breakwater because Representative
Burton, of that district, is specially
interested in bettering this harbor,
but is opposed to the ship subsidy
bill.
The Winslow mail., 1901-03-21
POINTS AND OPINIONS.

The advocates of the shipping
bill seem to be proceeding on the theory
that it ought to be passed before an
other congressional election.-Indian-
apolis News (Ind).
Why should the president be
vested with supreme authority in the
Philippines? Is the American congress
no longer capable CT performing its
appointed duties ?-St. Louis Republic.
There is nomore reason why ship
owners should be paid a cent a mile per
ton than there is why farmers should
be paid bonus of cent a cabbage per
crop. The scheme is utterly indefen-
sible. 1t is pernicious in theory and in
practice is bound to lead to fraud and
to result in the pampering and enervat-
ing of a healthy and growing industry.
Rochester (N. y Herald.
The subsidy argument will re-
solve itself into the old, o.d question
of whether a government should confine
itself to the preservation of order, the
national defense, and the distribution
of even justice. or whether it should
90 into paternalism with the inevitable
result of special privileges, unequal op-
portuniities, and the robbing of John
for the benefit of James. How power
fully this latter theory is intrenched
in the republican party is shown in the
passage of the Porto Rican tariff, en-
acted for no other reason in the world
than as a defense to the protection
principles against possible contingent.

proposal to enact the ship subsidy
bill into law. Assuming the unassum-
able, that the scheme is not entirely
and absolutely for loot, there is 40 de-
mand for subsidies; there is no need
for them. Men who would benefit by
them have declared that they are un-
necessary; that it would be folly or
worse to provide for their payment to
the affected interests.
AS Mr.. Hazard Stevens, secretary of
the New England Free Trade league,
points out, the American shipbuilding
industry is wonderfully active. He
notes that ''the commissioner of navi-
gtaion in his report of last October
says that at the present time upwards
of $50, 100000 and about $4,000 men
are engaged in the building of steel
steam vessels, aggregating 6S mer~
chant vessels of 277, $50 tons and AZ
naval vessels of 49, ,329 tons"
This does not indicate that Ameri-
can shipbuilding needs the incentive
of bounties to stir it into activity;
but it does indicate that the subsidy
bill is offered under false pretenses,
and that nothing is contemplated in
it but a prolonged raid on the treas
ury. The subsidy scheme is simply
development of period of uneX-
ampled extravaganza, sponsored and
promoted by man who thinks that
SO 100000 a year for 30 years is small
sum, even in the aggregate, to pay to
a few wealthy men who are so fortu-
nate as to be chosen as the special IA
vorites of the government ON account
of services rendered or to be rendered
in behalf of the republican corruption
fund A scheme of loot like this
would fifty crown the achievements Of
billion-and-a-half congress.-Bing-
hamtOn On. V Leader.

Laying for Him.

One of the clerks employed at the Read.

tical joker, had the tables turned ON him
the other day by shrewd newsboy. Know

Gently suspended publication, it has been
his custom upon leaving his Office in the
evening to call newsboy and say: Here's
q. nickel. Keep the change and give me
Call, quick!' He thought it great fun to see
the eager hands clutch Intellectually for the
nickel, and then to note the disappointed ex-
preston of the youngsters face. But he
tried it once too often. He greeted boy at
Twelfth and Market streets Oh Wednesday
evening with his usual witticism, and, much
to his astonishment, the little fellow showed
a Call into his hands and grabbed the coin
before the astonished clerk knew what was
up. Then there was nothing for the joker
to do but take his medicine. GIVE been a.

CUSTER'S PRACTICAL JOKE.
Gave an Imitation Indian Attack on
His Camp and Terrified
TenderfOot Visitor.

The late Charles Osborn, the New
York broker, and Gen. Custer were in
innate friends, and Osborn annually
visited the general on the plains. Dur
ing one of his Indian campaigns, Gus
ter invited Osborn and a party of
friends out to Kansas, and gave them
a buffalo hunt. The next night as Os-
borne was lying in his tent, rapid firing
was heard on the picket line, Boots and
Saddles" was sounded, and Osborn was
wondering what it was all about, when
the general burst in with rifle, two
revolvers and a saber. Charlie" he
said, in his quick, nervous way, "you
must defend yourself. Sitting Bull,
Wiggletail Jim and Scalplock Skonhe-
rious, but the safety of my regiment is
my first duty. If we don't meet again,
good-by!" The unhappy New York
man shook with terror. Shots and
war whoops resounded on every
side, and great blaze sprang up in the
distance. He clutched the rifle, revol-
vers and saber in turn, but finally
dropped them all and tried to make
himself as small as possible. Sudden
ly the noise died away, and Custer en-
tered the tent to find his friend fiat
on the ground, with his face covered.
'Spare mel" he moaned. "All right"
said Custer, in a matter-of-fact tone.
':Supepr is ready, and it's your treat!"
Osborn opened his eyes and saw
table spread with an elaborate feast,
and a crowd of smiling officers stand
ing by. Then he realized that he had
been the victim of a practical joke; but
he was so relieved that he joined in
the laughter with the rest.

Made the Indian Real Mad.

Senator Stewart the other day related the
story of an adventure with a big Indian
when he was prospecting for gold The In
dian asked the future senator for a ride in
q high wagon, and he was told to climb in.
In less than a minute Stewart saw poor Lo
signaling to another Indian behind rock.
who was sighting a gun at Stewart.
Il guess they needed my wagon and my
mule and maybe my scalp in their business.
My only chance was to grab that Indian
around the waist and hold him in front of
me. You bet did that, and at the same
time yelled at my mule. That critter had
some sense, and in few minutes we were
out of range. But it was a close shave"
As the senator stopped the curious man
in the party asked him what he did with the
Indian
''Why, broke his gun, threw him out of
the wagon, and then kicked him along on
his hands and knees until I think he got
real mad. Washington Correspondence

FARMERS AND SHIP SUBSIDY.
Representative Journals of the COun-
try Are OutspOken Against
the Measure.

Secretary of Agriculture James Will
son has declared in favor of the ship
ping bill, which provides large subsi-
dies for American ships. He says that
farmers need better freight service
to foreign countries, and gives in
stances to show where important
freight has been delayed. He then
says that from every point of view we
should not depend on foreign ships,
but that Americans should carry
American freight. We agree with the
secretary, though we know from eX-
perience that it often pays better to
hire some one else to carry our produce
than to do your own hauling. If Mr..
Wilson wishes to give the farmers real
advice he should not stop with what
they already know, but GO on and tell
us why the rich ship builders and
steel makers need help from the gov
ernment. That is the point to be dis
cussed. Why should the farmers be
taxed to support class of people who
are better able to provide for them
selves than most business men?
Mr.. Wilson is quoted as saying that
he knew from correspondence that
there is a practically universal senti-
ment among the farmers in favor of
the bill, and that those who are
against it are mainly those who do
not understand what advantages the
bill will bring to the farmers" Our
experience and observation indicate
just the reverse of that statement
The farm papers of the country are
outspoken against the bill. The few
farmers who talk to us in favor of it
seem to have an idea that it is a party
measure which will make their party
stronger with certain rich men Cr in
certain localities. There are many
farmers who now see in their own bust
ness the results of former indirect
taxation schemes. Here is their ques-
ton, Mr.. neutrality-suspicious. you will
answer it: Why, if our manufacture
ers can outdo the world on machinery
and material, do they not build their
own ships without help?-Rural New
Yorker
