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

There is hardly a language which
has not been called upon to provide
at least one of the curious sea terms
which are in constant use and whose
origin is so obscure.
For instance, says the Marine Jour
nal, the word admiral is not of Eng
fish origin, but is from the Arabic
Emil ell Bagh, or Lord of the Sea-
Captain comes from the Latin caput
but mate is from Icelandic, and means
companion or equal. Coxswain is
word whose derivation 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 cor
ruption of the word coracle, small
round boat used on the Wye and Usk
rivers. So coxswain comes to us from
the Welsh.
Commodore is not so difficult 10
trace to its beginning. 1t Is simply
the Italian commentators, meaning
commander No such person as Dayy
Jones ever existed, though we often
hear of him and his locker One should
speak of Duffy Jonah's locker" for
that was the original. Duffy is the
West Indian name for spirit or ghost.
wnle Jonah refers, of course, to the
prophet.
Another curious case of term grad
ually corrupted out of its original form
is the dog watch. 1t was originally the
dodge watch" because it lasted only
two hours instead of four, and thus
makes it possible thai the same men
shall not b. on duty every day during
the same hours.
Then there is the sheet anchor,
Tie name given to the largest anchor
carried by vessel 1t is really "shoto
archor," and Il SO called because OF rs
great weight, wach makes il easy to
shoot out in case of emergency.
Instead of fhe .erms port AMI
"starboard," which arc used nowadays
they used to talk of "larboard" and
"starboard." Starboard has nothing
in common with stars. but is really the
Anglo Saxton "steor board" for 'steer
side" because in all galleys which
were steered by an oar the oar was
fixed somewhat to the right hand side
of the stern, and the helmsman held
the inboard portion in his right hand
"Larboard" was probably a corruption
of lower board, the larboard side be-
ing inferior to the other
The Jury mast" has nothing in com
mon with jury except its derivation
from the same word, Jour- the
French word meaning day. The jury
mast is one which is put up temper
arily-for day-just as a jury in it's
legal term meant tribunal summoned
for short period only.

The Young Writers In Fiction.

From Harper's Magazine.
In felton, the young writer, with spon-
taneous imaginative creation, whose taste
relishes the concrete world Of nature and
humanity about him-all the beauty,
mirth, and pathos of it-more than the i'm
ages of the world conveyed through lit
erary tokens. has from the first an adj
vantage, in that he makes upon his read
ers' minds a wholly native impression.
He makes himself known directly by
showing us the lneaments of his spiritual
face, the charm of feature, mood, and
temper which makes an impression, at our
first reading, like that of first-seen faces
in our real human contracts. Such writ
ers are vital personalities in our Htera-
ture. They do not need to wait. They
may come to us as children come, as soon
as they can speak, having only to break
with infancy: in their books they grow
up before us, giving us plain notice OF
their adolescence and maturity.

FROM MY BALCONY
Studies of Red Mountain
BY ETHEL ARMIES.

Nothing happens from day to day. and
yet everything happens.
One afternoon a tiny darby, no bigger
than a wood gnome, and dressed in fad
! ed red and blue, drove spotted COW
across the field. The COW did not want
to go, and she had to drive her inch by
inch.
About 6 o'clock every evening few
of the miners come from out of the red
caverns on the hill and one by one down
the winding path over the field yonder

their dinner buckets changing, the lamps
on their caps burned out their faces,

my hillside to where I cannot tell, and
so quickly I cannot count their silent

In the early forenoon usually my hill

The clay bank is a narrow, dark-tinged
ribbon-bound with the fringe of sunlit
grass, But before noon if the day be

Special to The Journal .... . - r -
Philadelphia, May pa boyish
quarrel among three lifelong friends
over musical note on Thursday night
had an ending in the murder Of Robert
Beasley, aged Is, 321 Eirsh, Camden,
today. Beasley died as result Of q
blow struck by one of, his companions,
Walter Bryan, aged II, and William
Pfrommer, aged II, both of Camden.
Both fed but were arrested later.
All were members of the Stirling Man
dolin and Guitar club and were employ
ed in the same establishment. Beasley
owed his position to Pfrommer and yet
it was with Pfrommer that he quarreled
over what seemed trivial matter.
The Stirling Mandolin club took part
in musical entertainment in Camden
On Thursday night, and as they pre-
pared to leave the hall dispute arose
between Beasley and Pfrommer as to
whether there had not been a false note
was being rendered. According to a
statement made by Pfrommer to the
police Beasley left him and others in
an angry frame Of mind and this morn
ing Beasley still showed no disposition
to make peace with his former friend.
Beasley and Pfrommer came to blows
when they met and blow sent Beas-
ley reeling backwards. His head struck
the ground and he became UNCONSCIOUS.
Then both Pfrommer and Bryan fed.
