A Word of Advice.
To those who have been afflicted

that the spring season affords you a
splendid opportunity to get rid of your

A Word of Advice.
Now Is Your Opportunity.

This failure was during the winter
months. But now is your oppor-
tunity. Nature comes to your assist
ance at this season.
Just help her little and she will
bring you out of the quagmire in
which you have been floundering so
long. Give Nature a little assistance,
lest her struggles be in vain.

brings arrangements of the body de-

This beliet is an old one. is nearly
universal, and has arisen. not as the
result of the teachings of the medical

bitter school of experience.
Nervous Depression.
Depression of the nervous system
at the approach of spring is a fertile

There are general lassitude dull

Mystic Cures.
ON the Ohio State Journal

From the Ohio State Journal.
There are remedies of wide ana impress
sive application that appeal to a certain
substratum of human nature, that have ex-
listed in all lands and all nations. We have
one of these instances In Tuscarawas coun-
ty. where woman Is reported as being very
successful In routing disease by pressing
upon the affected part some old Indian
boxes and repeating some linguistic foruu-
la intended to brighten away the distemp-
er. II Is said that she was so successful
that people came from long distance to
subject their complaints to her Incanta-
tons, and that wonderful cures are report-
ed She has now been arrested for uniaw-
fui practice of the art OF cure, and 1t to
be tried for deludng the public.
IT seems to be inherent In human nature
that disease is wholly subjective ana can
be removed by treating 1t as a mental dis
order. This idea begins very early In IIfe
when the fond mother kisses the stubbed
toe or stricken hand of her boy. gives II a
few soft taps and tells him now IL is all
right, whereupon he goes about his play
and forgets his pain. And later in life
various devices are resorted to to remove
warts and moles by pressing upon them a
straw or leaf at the same time repeat ting
some gibb(rish and burying the straw and
leaf, TO find soon after when they have rot
TED that the wart or mole has disappeared.
There Is a church in West Indian island
where the old priest was noted for his
many cures, He was jolly, happy heart
ed. misunderstanding man, whose specific
process or cure was TO furnish silver or
nament for leg or arm or head. or what
part of the body was affected, which the
patient was to wear, with the blessing OF
the priest 1t is wonderful how many peo-
pie got well from this simple process The
theory was no doubt akin to that of the
good mother who kissed the stubbed toe
and sent her boy away smiling.
Some day the philosophers who are look
ing for sixth sense will find away back,
hid In the subjective somewhere. q gentle
desire to hitch ones fate to the belief that
there is such thing as thinking ones way
Into gentle paths IL the sense is suffaciently
Impressed Il Is possible the sense may not
be found, but there will be considerable in
terest in looking for 1t.

ORIGIN OF SEA TERMS.
Some Are Far Fetched and Most of
Them Are Ancient.

From the Marine Journal.
There is hardly language which has not
been called upon to provide at least one OF
The curious sea terms which are I'm con-
slant use and whose origin is so obscure.
For Instance. the word admiral is not
of English origin, but is from the Arabic
emil ell bagh." or lord OF the sea Captain
comes from the Latin caput. but mate is
from lcelandic and means a companion or
equal Coxswain, Is a word whose deriva-
ton would never be guessed The coxswain
was originally the man who pulled the
after oar In the captains boat, which was
known as the cockboat. This in turn Is a
corruption of the word coracle, a small,
round boat used on the Wye and Usk riv-
ers. So. coxswain comes to us from the
Welsh
Commodore Is not so difficult to trace to
its beginning. 1t is simply the Italian
commentators, meaning commander. No
such person as Davy Jones ever existed.
One should speak CT Duffy Jonah's lock-
er.' for that was the original. Duffy is the
West Indian name for spirit or ghost, while
Jonah refers, OF course. to the prophet.
Another curious case OF a term gradually
corrupted out of its original form is the dog
watch. 1t was originally the dodge
watch" because 1t lasted only two hours
instead of four, and thus makes II possible
that the same men shall not be on duty
every day during the same hours.
Then there is the sheet anchor" the
name given to the largest anchor carried
by a vessel. 1t is really ''shote anchor"
and is 50 called because of Its great weight,
which makes 1t easy TO shoot out I'm case
OF emergency.
Instead Of the terms port" and star
board" which used nowadays. they
used to talk of "larboard' and "starboard."
Starboard has nothing in common with
stars. but is really the Anglo Saxon steer
board for steer side" because In all gal
leys which were steered by an oar the oar
was fixed somewhat to the right-hand side
of the stern, and the helmsman held the in
board portion in his right hand. Lar
board was probably a corruption of lower
board, the iarboard side being inferior to
the other.
The Jury mast. has nothing in common
with a Jury except its derivation from the
same word. Jour-" the French word mean
ing day. The jury mast is one which is put
up temporariiy-for day-Just as a jury
in its legal term meant a tribunal sum-
moned for a short period only.
