Many Slang Terms Of Today
Taken From the Vocabulary
Of 0Id-Time Seafaring Men

A great many people use slang terms
and expressions without knowing their
real meaning or their origin.
Ninety-nine people out of every hun
bred. when their health is good. say
they are FIRST rate" Why? FIRST
rate Is seafaring term and was orig
inally used in the classification of the
old wooden line of battleships.
Sailing under false colors"-a term
applied to person who pretends to be
other than he isis a survival of the
same period.
This latter expression, like ito throw
overboard"-to get rid of something
is obviously nautical; but few people
know that 'skyscraper" was originally
sailors slang.
'CansA quarters" is another very

common expression. This, like first
rate" and it's accompanying express
sions, second rate" third rate" and
so on, comes from the days of wooden
fighting ships. The quarters" were
projections erected along the buIwarks,
behind which sailors could lie low and
which were used to help to repel board
ers.
ITO sail against the wind"-to be
very much In the minority-and ito
lower your sail"-to confess yourself
conquered-are both terms borrowed
from the sea, and the same may be
said of high and dry" and "laid up"
and "spliced," the slang term for get
ting married.
When we talk of person being
"knoeked into cooked hat" we mean
that he was limp enough to be doubled
up and carried under the arm like the
cooked hat of a naval officer. And we
say that so and so will be ION the

Japan Sent Us Fragrant
HoneysuckIe; Now a New
Variety Comes From China

Years ago Japan sent to this coun-
try vigorous green vine which won
favor through its lavish display of
fragrant white flowers in late spring.
For time the vine and flowers were
kept with the bounds of gardens,
lawns and parks. Then 1t ran away.
Today you'll find it roaming along the
roadside, climbing stumps and hedges.
1t needs no gardener, for it can take
care of itself. It's the honeysuckle.
The Japanese variety which ran
away Joined some of it's American cou-
sins, who are just as pretty and just
as fragrant. There's the coral honey
suckle, for example, q famous porch
climber in the southern states, with
trumpet-shaped flowers, red outside
and scarlet within. In England they
have the woodbine, cream-colored
fragrant relative of the honeysuckle
Recently there came new variety
from China, where 1t was found on the
tops of mountains 5000 feet above the
sea. Its foliage Is almost evergreen,
and the flowers are reddish bronze.
Another variety has red flowers, with
yellow and buff markings.
There's no need to hunt for the
honeysuclSle. Its fragrance will an
nounce itself before you're near
enough to see it. ~ IT,.

Domestic
Diplomacy

Mrs. John Brown. a friend of Henri
etta's, says that when she married
John allowed her to select everything
for the new home with the exception
of the kitchen stove.
"a man knows better how to select
that than n woman" said he. Man
like, he bought the biggest range
and the highest priced one on the mar
ket.
The wife was very proud of the
stove. but did have spells of wishing
that the kitchen was larger or the
stove smaller, so that each would not
be so conscious of the others pres
ence.
The first few years they moved
about considerably. as is the way with
newly weds, and the bugbear Of NOV
ing was always the stove. Finally,
wife coaxed round bit and suggest
ed TINT they sell it and get a smaller
one, and hubby acquiesced.
In week or two, wife had found
a purchaser in woman who lived
liz the second-story apartment next
door. When the wagon came to take
the stove away, they had an awful
time to get it out of the kitchen, and
the wife breathed big sigh of relief
when she saw it we'll out of the yard
and on its way up the stairs of the
next-door apartment. A few minutes
later she looked out, and to her horror

Long Series of Canyons.
The Colorado river crosses the pln--
teau province from northeast to south
west. 1t has carved series of can
yons whose total length exceeds 500
miles. All these canyons are clear
cut, deep gashes In nearly level plat
forms and their step-like walls de-
scend abruptly by alterations of bold
cliffs and narrow lodges. The river
at the bottom carries the drainage
from the whole western front of the
Rocky mountains in Colorado and
southwestern Wyoming. Because of
the general impassability and inhospi-
table character of the bordering des-
erts, these canyons form barrier to-
human travel more effective than the
Rocky mountains. The Colorado river
is unbridged for 700 miles, distance
about equal to the distance between
New York and Chicago.
In the high-blocked plateaus of the
Grand Canyon district the canyons
reach their elimination in size and
grandeur. The pathway of the river
across these plateaus is the most re-
markable valley in the world. The
section that traverses the marble plat
form is known as the Marble canyon,
being 60 miles in length. The part

While we may say that the Grand

an intricate system of canyons, each

than 5000 feet below the vision SEEM

Detailed studies by James Mooney

settlement, was about 1,140,000, of

up Bright Angel trail they
scramble again. Part of the

the trail clings so closely to the pre-
cipitous wall of the Grand canyon Of
