How Morse Sea hngs Enriched Our
Nautical Vocabulary.

When we say ship is bound TOR a
certain afort or bmeWard bound, we
are using, not tie past participle. as
we might think, t the English verb &c
bind, but of 3 Scandinavian word
meaning to preare, to get ready-a
word which in tn, form of bound stu
lives on in northern dialects.
"Bllow'' is probably a Scandinavian
word which survived in one of the
northern or eastern dialects, which stlll
preserve so maIv Danish words. II
made it's way mo southern English IN
the sixteenth century and was given
a literary standing by it's use by Spen :
ser and Shakespeare.
Wake" for thf track of a ship is an
other Scandinavian word preserved III
dialect. Its original meaning, as FRO
fcssor Skeat tells us, was that OF an
opening in the ice, especially the pas
age cut for a Ship in frozen lake or
sea, and then, from being applied 10
the smooth watery track lett by tle
ship after its passage throuSht the
ice, it came to be used when there was
no ice at all. This useful Word is one
OF the nautical terms which the french
have borrowed from the E'nSllsn, al
thought it is not easy to recognize II az
first in Its French form OF ouaiche' ahu
it is still used on the Norfolk broads
with its original meaning OF an open
place in the ice.-English review

THE NAILS.
They Should Not Be Cut, but Care
fully Filed.

Many people maintain that nails
should never be cut. but merely filed.
The latter process takes much longer.
but is expedited and rendered easier
by first soaking the finger tips in fairly
hot water.
A bundle of orange wood sticks
should be in the possession OF all who
wish to keep their nails in order. They
should be used to scrape away the cut
icle, which coneeals the half moons
we all admire, and also to remove any
impurities which the nailbrush has
overlooked. Metal should never pc
used for this purpose, as it is liable 70
scratch the underestimate of the nails
The hands of thin, nervous women
often have harsh, rough skins which
need special treatment. In fact. they
need food. Olive oil or cocoanut but

cept the Invitation recently extended
them by Allan Herbert of this city.
Being an old friend Of the Stevenson
family. and learning that Mrs. Steven
son and her daughter had intended to
travel this winter, he took the oppor-
tunity to Invite them to visit again
as HIS guests the land which father
and husband loved so well.
Even the beautiful climate of Santa
Barbara, which the Fasteners make
so much of, appears to be tribe cold
at this time of the year for Mrs. Ste
yeDson and her daughter" said Mr..
Herbert this morning when seen at
his residence In Keeaumoku street.
'.The climate in that part of Califor.
MIA cannot compare with that of these

my guests in Honoiulu during Christ

they win accept" - ?
In case Mrs. Stevenson and her
daughter come to Honolulu as Mr..

WOODS PROMOTION DUE I
TO EFFlc IENCY UNDER
CIVIL SERVICE RULES
By C. S. ALBERT.

lSpecf3l Star-buletln Sorresp0hoenceJ
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. .20.-The
first little speck of anything remotely
resembling patronage that has come
Hawaiiward In many weary moons
was the promotion of John @. Wood.
He was picked right up and boosted
into the consul general class. This
Hromotion carries with it an additional
1900 per year, which will help a
whole lot. -,...-... ~ ! !. -.
As consul to Tripoli Mr.. Wood re-
ceiyed $500 a year. Az consul gen.
eral to Ads Abbeba the stipend will
be $500 per annun. But the ad-
vancement of Mr.. Wood did not come
through fear or favor. It resulted
from the application of civil service
rules to the consular service. He had
earned and was in line for promotion.
It was given him regardless Of polfti-
cal affiliations. Efs <'s.s.--
Hence. the good luck falling in Mr..
Wood direction can not be really and
truly computed as patronage.
