Every sailor has his story of the
mistakes which landlubbers make over
the names Of things at sea, which
always seem to be exactly the oppo-
site of what they are on land.
A new boy had gone on board
West India ship, upon which painter
had also been employed to paint the
ships side. The painter was at work
upon staging suspended under the
ships stern.
The captain, who had just got into
a boat alongside, called out to the
new boy, who stood leaning over the
rail, 'Let go the paintery''
Everybody should know that a
boats painter is the rope which makes
it fast, but this boy did not know It.
He ran aft and let go the ropes by
which the painters staging was held.
Meantime the captain was wearied
with waiting to be cast of.

Already on the Way in Government
Vessel.
New York, Jan. THE spontane-
GUS action throughout the country to
succor the distress of Italy has as
sumed the character of an imposing
national movement. Reports from all
sections of the country show cities,
individuals, societies, religious bodies,
Red Cross organizations, private cor
porations, commercial bodies and all
branches of public and private life
Joining in this humane and practical
expression of the American people in
behalf of tie afflicted nation. Already
over 100000 in cash is in hand and
most of this has been cabled or Is on
its way to Italy. The reports show
this total to be only the beginning
and the aggregate promises to swell
to millions. Governors of states and
mayors Of cities have issued appeals
and a message from the president to
congress is expected when that body
reassembles on Monday.
The New York total is upward of
$150,000; Boston is nearing $4,000;
Chicago is raising 100000; st. Louis
exceeds $4,000; Milwaukee and Provi-
dence are each nearing the $4,000
mark, while the initial amounts in
scores of other cities are reaching
thousands of dollars. The Canadian
government has appropriated 100000
and the city of Toronto has added
$4,000. About $25O,OOO worth Of sup
plies are already on the way to Italy
on the United States supply ship Gel
tic. With the appropriation which the
American congress is expected to
make the aggregate from the United
States and Canada will run into mil
