A Missinr.wo

A writer IN the Spectator is hunting
for word and asks the readers OF the
Spectator to assist him. The word
desired is one that win express the
ever increasing class OF words that
are named after some individual-e. r.,
boycott" ''macadamize, dolly"
"mackintosh," camp" "peeler." Rob
ert. Bobby" "Whitehead' (for a tor
pedo), etc. Such words should be
classified under a name by themselves.
What should this word bei "Cog-
nominals" has been suggested. A cog
nomen, however, is surname, and
such words are not always taken from
the persons surnamc-"Bobby," for
example, to indicate policeman.
"Onomatoneric" and "aneronomatic'
have also been suggested. but that
would not include camp" or Mrs.
Grundy." No exception can be taken
to the term "anthroponomatic," SO far
as accuracy of description is con-
cerned, but ii Is terribly long word.
and an apt short word is a desider-
alum.

Librarian John Ashhurst OF the Mer.
camille library has made further inves-
ugation into the claims of Mrs. Julia
A. Carney for a memorial as the au-
thor OF the popular childhood hymn.
Little Things" This time the author
ship Is even denied Florence Sargent
Osgood, who apparently disputed the
claims of the Goldsburg woman.
Superintendent Brooks, who denied
permitted to contribute to fund for
Mrs. Carney, also made some inquiries
on his own account. but could not find
the poem among the books in the board
OF education library. In the diction-
airy of hymnology edited by John Jul
ian, NJ. A, an article written by Jul
ian himself gives DR.. Z. @. Brewer as
the author OF Little Things" 1t being
published by him in 1913 in Reading
and Spelling Subsequently the verses
Were altered and appeared In other ju-
venile publications.
The original Tor Brewery version of
Little Things reads:
Little drops of water
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
Make the beauteous land.
Straw by straw the sparrow
Builds its coy nest;
Leaf by leaf the forest
Stands in verdure drest.
Letter after letter
Words and books are made:
Little and by little
Mountains level laid.
Drop by drop is iron
Worn in time away;
Perseverance patience,
Ever win their way.
Ever finished labor
Once did but begin
Try and go on trying;
That's the way to win.
Subsequent an American version Of
the same poem appeared. Some &C
credit this to Mrs. Carney, others to
Mrs Osgood. This version is the one
largely used in Sunday school hymnals
Of little folks. 1t reads:
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.
And the little moments,
Humble though they be.
Make the mighty ages
OF eternity.
Little deeds of kindness
Little words of love. ,
Make our earth an Eden
Like the heaven above
So our little errors
Lead the soul astray
From the path of virtue
Into sin to stray.
Little seeds of mercy
Sown by useful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heather lands.

"Cipher" in the Psalms.

Apropos Of the Shakespeare-Ba-
con controversy a correspondent OF
the London Telegraph saticicaliy
comes forward with the theory that
Shakespeare may have written the
Psalms. In Psalm Xvi, he found
that by counting forty-six words
from the beginning you arrive at
the word shake" and by counting
forty-six from the end (onitting,
of course, the exclamation "Selah" }
YOU come to the word spear.
These, conjoined, make up the
name of, the poet and he asks
whether they do not form a secret

OnlY One in Ter Class.

Miss Christine Ross of New
York is the only woman in the
city, if not the United States, who
has held the office of certified
public accountant. She was the
first woman to attempt the eX-
aminations for the place. She
was second on the list of candi-
dates, being only six-tenths of a
point below the mark received by
the most successful competitor.
When asked about her duties
Miss Ross said to a reporter;
People, principally women, send
for me from all around to
straighten their accounts. Char-
table organizations, which are
managed by women are among
my steady clients. Few things.
indeed, are more helpless than the
average young society woman

tives and kindly intentions. at

thirty minutes the treatment

that which they ordinarily re-
ceive,"

Much annoyance is felt by the patrons of
certain of the street railway lines of this
city at the closing of the front doors and
gates of the cars, so that passengers are
not only prevented from riding on the for
ward platforms but are kept from entering
and leaving the cars by that end All pas
sengers are thus forced to enter and leave
by the rear doors. and when the cars are
crowded this causes much jostling and even
painful pressure as those within try to get
out or those without try to get inside. The
rear platforms are used by smokers, who
block the doors greatly to the inconven-
ience of other passengers. The cars are
unquesionably delayed In transit by these
conditions and thus the annoyance felt by
the people is increased The operating
company against whose cars comp laints are
chiefly leveled explains the new regulation
by pointing to the recent action of New
Jersey grand jury in indicting the execu-
tive committee of great trolley corpora
ton. one of whose cars was struck by
railroad train at grade crossing nine
children being killed. In that case the front
platform was crowded with passengers so

1900 they were L31 as large; in 1901 they
were 1.454 as large; in 1902 they were 1858
as large and in the March year just closed
they were 1.294 as large. AS noted by the
table given above the exports themselves
have been diminishing since 1901, while the
imports have increased However. II the
estimates for the full fiscal year are veri-
fed this tendency will be checked and per-
haps the fiscal year percentage of export
balance will be materially different from
that of the March year.
1t Is stated in explanation of the narrow
ing Of the margin between exports and i'm
ports that the latter include an increasing
ly large percentage of manufacturers ma
terials. which go into the country's prod
ucts and perhaps eventually into the ex-
ports themselves. In the month Of Febru-
airy of this year. the records show. fully
so per cent of the total imports were of
manufacturers materials. while in the eight
months of the fiscal year ending with Feb
ruary this class of imports formed AZ per
cent of the whole. Thus it is to be seen
that the manufacturing processes of the
country are requiring steadily increasing
quantity of raw materials from abroad.

No Postponement of Cup Races.

1t is gratifying to learn that the accident
TO Shamrock III will not cause postpone
ment of the Americas cup races, beginning
August 20 next. Sir Thomas Upton is not
only a good loser of cup races but he
stands up we'll under the strain of having
his crack boat stripped in moment of its
rigging. His own injuries are not even con-
sidered. Fortunately they are not serious,
but they might easily deter many another
yachtsman from pitching in and hustling
night and day to repair the damage and
get the boat over here in season to keep the
engagement. His cablegram to the secre-
tary of the New York Yacht Club announc-
ing that there need be no postponement is
an assurance that in good Season Shamrock
III will enter New York bay in trim for
perhaps the finest regatta ever sailed for
the great trophy The accident of last week
is the fourth of the kind which the cup
yachts have suffered since the steel masts
were adopted. Two Of these have occurred
to American yachts and two to the Upton
boats, SO that troubles are even In this re-
spect. The steel masts, being hollow, are
liable to buckle when the pressure be-
comes too strong, or when an exceptional
strain comes by reason of the giving way Of
stay. Everything about these racers is
tulHeu UOWH 10 tHe most minute UnlSn ana
finesse. Thus the giant mast which
buckled the other day. although 155 feet
long and n inches in greatest diameter, is
composed of nickel steel only three-six-
teenths of inch in thickness. The marvel
is that. these spars do not break oftener
But If they must break it is we'll that they
do so in the trial races, in order that the
weakness may be remedied in time.
break during one of the cup races would be
deplorable in the extreme, and yet yachts
men hold that a yacht which cannot stand
up under all kinds of weather in the actual
regatta is by that fact ruled out of the
race The competition is not only one to
secure the greatest speed. but to COM
promise most skillfully the speed necessities
with the strength requirements Every
ounce taken off to tighten the boat and in
crease her sailing qualities increases at the
same time the chances of breakdown
Thus the designer and builder who puts up
n boat which may collapse on the very
verge of victory takes his chances in the
general contest of elements. Still, no
American wants to retain the cup by reason
OF an accident, even though that accident
may prove that we can make stronger
racers.
