Colonial Times.
Mechanics are not likely to go out
Of fashion so long as human nature
remains what it is SchoOlboys will
nickname each other. collegians will
nickname their professors, and SOL
Giers will speak OF their commanders
as Hell Fire Bill Fighting Joe" or
what not. In these days. however, 1t
IL not customary to spread such titles
upon official records. as was formerly
the habit. according to the archives
OF several of our states.
In the Dutch records in 1914 we
have John Petersen. alias Friend
John. In the Newtown purchase from
the Indians, dated in 1856. one Of the
boundaries is "by a Dutchmans land
called Hans the Boore." and in the
Bushwick patent. dated Oct. II, 1867,
one of the boundaries is John the
Swede's meadow" In 1895. in the
Kings county records. a man is named
living at Gowanus as 'Tunis the Fish
err"
The common council OF New York
in 1851 ordered fish to be brought into
the dock lover against the city hall
or the house that Long Mary former
ly lived In" and in the same year an
order was passed that Topknot Betty
and her children be provided for as
objects Of charity"
The explanation of this custom in
many cases was that the persons in
question either had no family names
or had forgotten them, so that the use
Of their generally accepted nicknames
became a necessity. So numerous
were the Smiths living upon Long Is
land that It was thought necessary to
distinguish the various original fami-
lies by some peculiar name. Thus we
have the Rock Smiths. the Blue
Smiths. the Bull Smiths and the
Weight Smiths.-Harper's Weekly.
