Crossing the Ocean
4 in Colonial Times

A journal written by q tourist
who crossed the Atlantic TO New
York before the year 100 has recent
~ been discovered. 1t gives vivid
picture of early shipboard accommo-
dalton. The passenger was travelling
for pleasure, not emigrating. He was
accustomed to the best treatment the
traveller of that period could procure.
His journal records that the oimin-
utive sailing vessel set out on its long
voyage from Holland bound for New
Amsterdam. He begins early in the
voyage to complain of the cabin.
There was no palatial lounge and
writing room in those days. Although
he was first-class passenger, he could
not enjoy the luxury Of a private
stateroom, but shared the little cabin
with men, women and children. He
notes that the deck above his head
was so low that though seated on his
trunk writing his journal, he could
not sit erect. The space between
decks was little more than three feet.
he complains or the rOugn weather
and of the fact that most Of the cabin
passengers were seasick. There is,
besides, frequent comment upon the
quality of the drinking water, which
did not improve In the two months re-
CURED for the crossing The bath
ing facilities were primitive, consist
ing Of a few buckets of salt water
enjoyed in a more or less secluded
corner Of the deck.
The traveller girds at the customs
regulations. 1t Is recorded that the
sea chests and rolls of clothing were
turned inside out with no consider
alton for the feelings Of the owners.
The writer noticed that the pas
sengers who enjoyed political posi-
lions we're not molested.

"Cheshire Cat" Grin
Voriously Explained

The expression, ito grin like a Ches-
Sire cat" has never been satisfact "'ly
accounted for. 1t was popularized by
Lewis Carroll in his Adventures OF
Alice in Wonderland" In this pretty
story the Cheshire cat is grinning
cat which makes its appearance to
give Alice advice. The first time the
cat suddenly disappears. But after
considerable persuasion by Alice the
cat returns and then disappears grad
ually and almost impe-ceptibly. The
last thing to vanish was the grin, says
the Detroit News.
1t is said that cheese originally
made in Cheshire, England, was
nodded into forms like grinning cat.
the word Cheshire" is pronounced
~Chesh-ir," with the accent on the first
syllable and the 81" short as in "irri-
tate" There is also humorous ex-
PLANTATION of this phrase. Cheshire Is
one Of those counties in England
known as counties palatine-that is,
the count or earl has certain royal
privileges. This idea. 1t is said, is so
funny to the cats In that region that
they are perpetually amused at 1t. A
person who shows his teeth when he
laughs is said ito grin like Cheshire
cat" The expression is especially ap-
piled to q forced or sneering smile.

Home of Little Spirits

Little Devils HILL" which Is to be
found in Clay county, South Dakota.
is a strange looking fat topped hill in
the midst of level prairie. 1t is 80
yards long, 60 or 20 yards wide, and
about 20 feet high. The top is a
smooth level plain. The Indians made
this hill a great article of their super
stition. They called ii the Mountain
of Little People, or Little Spirits.
They believed it was the abode of lit
tie devils in human form, about IS
inches high, with remarkably large
heads, and armed with sharp arrows.
with which they were very skilful.
They were always on the watch to
kill those who approached their resi-
dence. The tradition was that many
had suffered from these little evil
spirits.

Quite Capable

There is nothing sinful about hav-
ing reasonable pride in ones be-
longings and estate, but when a man
has not the sense to keep his mouth
shut about them he becomes a general
nuisance.
A farmer Of this order had met a
few Of his acquaintance on the mar
ket day, and, as usual, soon monopo-
Iized the whole of the conversation,
talking about his steam thresher. his
reaping machine, his barns, his this
and his that. until they were all
heartily tired Of listening to him. He
was the first to go, however.

We a win'mill?"
