THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.

Truth is an element, or life, yet if a
man fastens his attention on single
aspect of truth, and apply himself
alone to that for long time, the
truth becomes distorted and not itself,
but Acknowledgement
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-04-13

God offers to every mind it's choice
between truth and repose. Take
which you please-you can never have
both. He in whom the love of repose
predominates, will accept the first
creed or philosophy, the first political
party he meets-most likely his father
He gets rest, commodity and reputa-
ton; but he shuts the door of truth.

ORIGIN OF SAILOR TERMS.
Expressions Peculiar to Sea Are De.
rived From Many Languages.

From the New York Herald.
Practically every recognized lam
guage. says 4 London letter. has been
called upon at some time to help in
building up the vocabulary Of the sea.
'Davy JONES'" for instance. might be
taken to refer to some dead and gone
Welshman, but the name is derived
from quite another source. One should
speak OF Duffy Jonah's locker" for
that was the original. Duffy" being the
West Indian name for a spirit or ghost
ana Jonah" referring to the prophet.
Another expression gradually cor
rupted out Of its original form is the
dog watch" 1t was originally the
dodge watch" because it lasts only
two hours, and was intended to insure
that the same men shall not be on duty
every day during the same hours.
The Jury mast" has nothing in COM
mon with the twelve good men and
true" except its derivation from the
"one day." The jury mast is erected
temporarily. for a day." just as the
jury, in its legal sense. means a tri-
bunal summoned for a short time.
The sheet anchor" the largest an
chor carried by a ship. should really
because of its great weight. which al
lows it to shoot out in case of emer-
s,ency.
Port" is a comparatively new eX-
preston. In the old days they used to
refer to ''larboard" and "starboard.''
'Starboard" has nothing in common
with the twinkling stars of the heav-
ems; it is derived from the Anglo
Saxon "steerboard" or "steerside." In
Viking times the galleys were steered
by an oar. which the helmsman held
with his right hand. 'Larboard" prob
ably was corruption of '1ower
board" the larboard side being infe-
rior to the other.
The word admiral" is Arabic, spring.
ing from emil ct bagh." or lord of the
sea-" Captain" comes from the Latin
"caput," but mate" Is Icelandic. and
means companion" or equal" Cox
swain" has a curious origin. The COX
swain" was a man who pulled the last
oar in the captains boat, which was
described as the ''cockboat." This. in
turn, was a corruption Of a small.
round boat found on the rivers Usk
and Wye and known as a ''coracIe.'
Coxswain is. therefore. Welsh name.

Cusihuiriaehic.

In high mountain valley in the
western part Of the state Of Chihua-
hua, Mex. lies a tiny hamlet bearing
the above name. The town is SO small
that 1t might be overlooked by the
passenger Of an aeroplane, but 1t has
not been by nature or man.
Here is the nucleus of a mining CEN
ter older than the independence of
either Mexico or the United States. The
minerals Of Cusihuiriachic was long
known and Its mines worked by In
dians from the Sonora region, and
traces of their primitive methods may
be discovered in abandoned mines.
Ladders made entirely of wood, the
rungs tied by leather thongs, were
used in the shafts. When the shaft
became so deep that ladders could no
longer be used new mines were OPEN

py pack trains as of old, though a
stage mail route makes bi-weekly tripe

More than hundred years ago an
expedition was organized to go to Vera
Crus for the purpose Of raising money
with which to develop the mines, which
had fallen into the hands of the Mexi-
cans. The expedition travelled slowly
overland and was gone from the vii

modern ore-reducing plant and a resi-
dence for the local resident manager,
which buildings have long been the
wonder of the Mexicans and Indians
for miles around.
The little village lies at an altitude
of about 1000 feet. One may cook a
meal and leave it on the table for a
week, and it will be undisturbed by
flies, for there are none. and unspoiled
by rise in temperature, for the tenn
perature remains the same the entire
year around.
The surrounding country is dotted
with small villages bearing names of
Batochic and Catochic. Though these
names are neither Spanish nor Yaqui.
they are probably corruption of both,
and there Is a general understanding
that the ending chic meant a stream
Of water at the time the names were
bestowed; thus Cusihuiriachic denotes
a stake standing in a stream of water,
the act of the jefe of the mineral. who
derived his badge OF authority. the
stake. from the crown OF Spain.
A ruined church with bells intact
stands by the small running stream,
remarkable because Of the fact that
ruined churches in Mexico are seldom
found. 1t has been left by the super
stitioua natives as a monument to
their faith, and 1t will probably never
be restored.

European School Lessons.
From the School Review.


Returned from their extended study
OF European educational conditions,
the delegates OF the Chicago board Of
education have now made their recon-
mendations. Evidently the lessons Eu-
rope has to offer the United States In
education resemble the lessons it has TO
offer elsewhere: they merely urge US
to do more thoroughly and efficiently
the very reforms we have had in mind
for a long time and have but imper-
fectly carried out. In our school sys-
TENS we have shown the same negli-
gence and carelessness that character
ize most of the affairs of our municipal
life. Thus, if an American commission
is sent to Germany to study municipal
government, il returns with the recon-
better way about everything that we
are now doing. Our schools are to their
schools as our cities to their cities. We
are not sufficiently thorough.
None of the four main lines of recon-
mendation made by the Chicago dele
gates introduces any new idea. They
urge the city to guard school buildings
against the distracting noises of the
city and otherwise to provide for the
physical welfare of the pupils: to es-
tablish a central municipal school OF
commerce and industry; to gather and
systematic information concerning the
industrial and commercial life of the
city as a suitable basis for future eduz
cational policies, these policies to EN-
phasize vocational and continuation
training; and finally. to give to the ele-
mentary schools a larger share OF
school funds. In every one of these
fields American school authorities have
been dabbling Europe exceeds us only
in thoroughness and efficiency.

The Careless Talker.
; Seattle Sun

From the Seattle Sun.
There Is a certain small worm that
makes little holes in furniture and
wood of all kinds. The result is known
as dry rot
There is a certain kind of person who
continually chatters about the rotten
ness of others. He tells you that SO
and SO is thief, that some one else
does not pay his employees properly,
that the country is not governed as it
should be. that some man said this and
another said that. Pin this person down
to a plain statement of fact. and he
takes refuge in a mass of platftudinous
lgeneralities. In other words. he does
not know what he is talking about. He
is fond of hearing himself speak, and
he never gets nearer to the truth than
'he heard a man say that another man
told a friend that So and So was re-
ported to have done something he
should not have DONE"
To q man of sound common sense
the creature is harmless-that is, di-
|rectIy; but he spreads abroad a feeling
of niistrust, he shakes public confidence,
he undermines the stability of the
nation, he causes a form of dry rot"
in the furniture of state. Added to
this. he is an unmitigated nuisance

A Superstitious Age.
From the New York Sun.

| There is reason for holding that this
age, which prides itself on its freedom
from Superstition" is one of the mos,
superstitious and credulous of eras
Witchcraft is continually bobbing up
ers of the future prosper; new ''reli-
gions,'' cults. prophets and prophetesses
and healers abound. Darkest Africa
and darkest America are more alike
than they seem.
What a boom for seers and other

story in yesterdays papers of the death
by falling out of window of a woman
teller foretold that she would meet
a violent end within six months. If
the guess was made-and the race OF
modern OWNERS must have changed
final good fortune; there's no money IN
forecasting evil-it merely illustrates
Bacon's wise saying that men count
the hits and not the misses" Out of
million foretellings some may or
must strike the mark. And unless the
art has greatly improved since the
times of official oracles, the guess is
wrapped in such cloud of equivoca-
ton as to save the Delphian face what

Substitutes for Wool.
From Fibre and Fabric.

From Fibre and Fabric.
With a growing business in wool
manufacturing lines. and more or less
uncertainty as to the future supply of
wool. the manufacturers must look
more carefully than ever before into
substitutes for wool
Rags and waste that have been in
abundant supply heretofore have been
in unprecedented demand during the
wool substitutes have gone abroad.
while more tons have been used up
here in supplying uniform cloth and
blankets for the soldiers of the coun-
tries at war.
Now some of our leading goods pro-
ducers are beginning to give careful
attention to the home situation, par
ticularly in the lines of medium and
low grade cloths used by the masses,
and the outlook for raw material of
the usual character Is far from prom
Using. This situation has drawn more
careful attention to the wool substi-
tutes on the market. and some tests
recently coming to our notice have
good indications Of solving the problem
in satisfactory way. The use Of one
or two of the recognized substitutes
gives cloth that has the look and the
feel that gets by all except the cloth
experts, and there Is NO especial dam
ger of q wool famine shutting up our
mills.
We have never taken kindly to sub
stitutes for wool in the past, but the
results of the tests have been SO re-
markably good that we cannot but ad-
NIT that as great good has been ac-
complished as in some of the very inn
portant machinery inventions that have
been responsible for our wool manufac-
turing industry reaching it's present
important position in the industries of
this country.
England may continue her embargo
on wool Indefinitely. and with our home
supply, wool substitutes and what we
get from South America we can move
along, and no man, woman or child in
the United States will go cold for the
want of a warm covering so long as
the price is forthcoming.

There is a certain young woman of
Brooklyn who possesses a hat of which
she is inordinately proud. 1t was a
small hat originally. but the owner
had increased it's proportions materially
by the addition of willow plumes at
tached to wire backbones.
Now, she wore this hat to a music
festival not long ago. and she felt very
much dressed up. AS she leaned back
gracefully and complacently in her
chair she felt gentle tugging at the
aforesaid hat from behind.
So she turned and said to a self-pos-
sessed young man just in her rear,
Does my hat annoy you"
mot at ALL" said the young man.
She Of the hat thought it over for a
while. 1t occurred to her that perhaps
she had been ungracious. Accordingly
she turned again, this time with this
query:
"Perhaps the plumes interfere with
your view of the stage"
"At first they did," confessed the self
possessed young person, but bent
'em down."
