TIMBERMEN's VERNACULAR.
Technical Terms of the Woods Ex-
plained by Forestry Bureau.

Terms Used in Forestry and Log
ging," just published as bulletin No.
81 of the bureau Of forestry, affords
the lay reader an insight into a
strange vernacular.
The first half of the pamphlet is
devoted to forestry. There we may
cad all the technical terms in good
use, from absolute forest land" to
yield table" Many terms explain
themselves, but where they are not so
eadily understood the short defini-
ion makes plain at once the idea
conveyed and the need of a special
word or phrase to convey it. Perspic-
lity, precision, and common sense
ieem to have been the objects sought
~ the compilers.
on turning to the logging terms,
which are listed in the last half of
he bulletin, we come across some
truly remarkable approximations
which, though evidently derived from
slang are now in good use among
yoodsmen either throughout the
country or in the region denoted in
Zach case. There the uninitiated may
earn the distinction between ball
looter" and a boom rat" between a
bull cook" and a "cattyman," and
ind that none of them refers TO any
.esser animal than the logger himself
Among other creatures of the log
iing camp may be numbered also the
alligator" the dolphin" the dog,
he "pig." and the road donkey" all
names of objects endowed with life
oy the vernacular Of the logger.
The alligator" proves to be 'boa'
used in handling logs; the dog d
short, heavy piece of steel; the
pig" rigging sled; and the road
donkey" a donkey engine mounted
on a heavy sled" etc ~
Birds are represented by the 'blu'
Jay and the rooster" (also callec
goose ncck"), reptiles by the snake
md insects by the "katydid." n ten
lerfoot intending a visit among th'
ornwny loggers in the North WoouS

should find it decidedly in order t'

SUFFERING TOUCHED ROOSEVELT'S HEART

That Theodore Roosevelt is a kind
hearted, sympathetic man is shown by
his recent clandestine visit to chill
dren's hospital at Sea Breeze, Coney
Island, The New York World tells
the story of the visit in the following
graphic manner:
President and Mrs. Roosevelt visited
Coney Island yesterday, and Coney
Island did not have time to wake up
and howl a welcome before he was
off again.
This was because he came in at the
back door down at Sea Gate, unher-
aided and unguarded by detectives
and departed the same way.
But n hundred or more weak, ailine
children at Sea Breeze, the summer
home of the Association for Improv-
ing the Condition of the Poor, were
made glad by his presence, and were
talking about the marvel of 1t unit
they were put to bed last night
The distinguished visitors came from
Oyster Bay on the steam yacht Sylph
which tied up at the pier OF the At.
lantic Yach club.
AS the president and Mrs. Roose.
welt landed they were met by r. Full
ton Cutting, president of the associa
tion, and Jacob A. Riis, who conduct
ed them to the club house.
But scarcely had the president en-
tered Mr.. Cuttings automobile before
he was recognized, and then the new!
outsped the sea winds along Surf ave
nue..
The president was met at the doc
of the home by the following gentle
men: Howard Townsend. chairman
of the fresh air department, who wa
classmate of the president at Har
ward; John Arbuckle, health commits

Roosevelt was accompanied by Mrs
Riis. The children had been told tina
the president was coming.
Sea Breeze is a place of pathos
Here cheeks are pale. and little hand
are white and weak. Here there |
no childish laughter. Here the sigh

The game Of quintain survives only
in the village of Offham Green in Kent,
England. 1t is so named from an In
strument used in fitting on horseback
with the lance. 1t consisted Of an up
right post, surmounted by crossbar
turning on a pivot, which had at one
end fat board and at the other bag
of sand. The object Of the tllter was
to strike the board at such a rate of
speed that he would be past and out
of the way before the bag Of sand. as
1t whlrled round, could hit him in the
hack
