Literary Efforts Fow. The paucity of literary ships Esems to hint that the sailor is not a great reader. The shipping list f dloes not resemble a college curriâ€" sulum or a bookseller‘s advertise ment. Of novelists we find Hugo, srhose ‘‘Toilers of the Deep‘‘ no Houbt recommended him. Sir Walâ€" ter Scott is remembered by a nameâ€" sBake ship, and a score of Ladies of Ithe Lake. There is no evidence of â€" _ m nautical interest in popular ficâ€" jon. There is nothing later than cle Tom, Topsy and Benâ€"Hur. __ (Tlhe sailor whose favorite muses aro _ $hose of history and heroic pobtry: maturally disdains the best sellers. ;'3[‘he poetry the sailor reads is likeâ€" Avise oldâ€"fashioned. . Shakespeare, strange to relate, has no ship to 1 {ï¬\imvsyevlf, but Ophelia and Romeo are wemembered.â€" The ships Zuleika and Mazeppa recall Byron, and Minnehaha â€" suggests Longfellow. â€" _ No doubt 15â€"inch guns and armored burrets _ will demand names of _# greater explosiveness and velocity, jromething perhaps from Kipling or Robert Service. m ‘_ The Canadian shipping list reads Wlike an atlas or a& journal of exâ€" tploration. The gailor‘s gefle!"&l â€"_â€" geographical interest is shown in ‘the names of many distant counâ€" ‘tries, such as Arabia and Armenia, iand especially on the Pacific coast, in Japanese appellations, such as Bhinyei Maru, Herschel, recalling as it does the great English astronâ€" ‘omer, indicates an interest in celesâ€" * tial phenomena, which is confirmed ‘by~ Orion, Gemini, Uranus, and mames of other constellations, beâ€" ‘sides a host of Stars and Stellas. That there aro still difficulties in spite of these twinkling amids to navigation seems to be the lesson of. the ships White Squall, Ice Surge ‘and Rocket. But the fact that the ‘]}or does not fear to call his ¢ ps after the elements which are his enemies shows that he is not suâ€" ‘perstitious. On this principle (Cerâ€" man names would by no means be mords of ill omen for Canadian rPuisers. i o alen EeEA ce old ut P ds t ho iiinbninnet tï¬ 3 Mch ve 0 M. 8. Pinafore is strangely missing, ‘and Sulliyan, his musical collabâ€" orator, is completelyâ€" unknown. But it may be that the growth of P King. On the whole the sailor‘s musical fancy seems to turn to musical comedy with light opera. Gilbert, the playwright, has a flagship of his own escorted by the Mikado and the Iolanthe; but H. The lack of a Terpsichore is atoned for by many musical ships, fmich as Andante, Crescendo and In spite, however, of these eviâ€" dences of erudition we have to tax the sailor with a neglected educaâ€" tion. The fault may be due to biâ€" Jlingualism, but at any rate ship names abound in misâ€"spellings. Goliah does duty for Goliath. Lia for Leah, and Lidie for the diminâ€" utive of Lydia. But the worst is the "Germainnia,"‘ a ship owned by a Frenchman on the Lower St. Lawrence, who learned his English, a&s many other Frenchâ€"Canadians have doneâ€"under a Cockney inâ€" structor.

HISTORY, MUSIC, LITERATURE _ â€"SAINTS AND SINXNERS. ‘ost Toasties Music in Evidence. ~ A Poor Speller. Crisp, |\_Ships like Grit and Tory show a |nautical interest in politics; and |Dan Patch and Shrubb reveal a fondness for the track and the cinâ€" |der path. One ship is also called jafber a golf course, namely Lambâ€" It would not be well to conclude without mention of the great numâ€" ber of Shamrocks and Thistles and the even more numerous~ Maple Leafs. The shipping register is as it were a log book of Canadian hisâ€" tery. It shows that English, Bootâ€" ton, the appropriateness probably consisting in their common posses sion of bunkers. Bhip names such as Four Idlers, Loafer and Becalmed attest that the sailor occasionally has time on his hands. And that Satan finds mischief for idle hands is revealed in ships which we cannot possibly call good, such as Gambler, Monaâ€" co, Nap and Lucky Jim. That there are crooks in every . profession seems to be the lesson of Slippery Jos, though, of course, the name might merely indicate that this parâ€" ticular vessel can outsail any of its rivals. Double interpretations are possible with regard to other names. Geneva, for instance, may refer to Calvin and not to gin ; Usher to Pooe‘s Fall of the House of Usher and not to Scotch whiskey. | Magnum, however, looks as if it reâ€" fferred unmistakably to champagne, but, after all, there is very little |evidenc-e of â€"intemperance on board ship. If the names of our future battleships preserve a discrect siâ€" lence on the subject of grog and rum punch it will perhaps be only. a just tribute to naval sobriety. _ Devoted to Saints. § Any faults that the sailor may have are more than outweighed by an enthusiastic devotion to saints. % There are more than two hundred ‘Samts’ names on the shipping reâ€" gister. St. George is the most popâ€" ular for steam craft, but St. Joseph heads the poll for the sailing vesâ€" sels. Probably no boat bears a more unique name than the good ship St. Joseph Three Salmon. Possibly the~ Western grain growâ€" ers might forego their opposition to a navy if the battleships were callâ€" ed by such names as Manitoba No. ‘ 1 Hard or Alberta Alfailfa. | Matrimony Excepted. There are plenty of. endearing terms such as Gazelle, and promâ€" ises of fidelity such as True Love, but very little hint of matrimony, except in the Village Bride. And there is no. reference to babies nearer than Winslow, the famous soothing syrup. The evidence of the shipping list seeins to confirm the sailor‘s reputation as a winking light of love. Only one ship, Veuve, backs up W. W. Jacobs‘ theory that bargemen and other mariners have a penchant for wiâ€" dows. Delilah and Vampire seem to indicate that at times the course of love does not run smooth for the sailor, but‘ no ship is as vituperaâ€" tive as The Serpent‘s Tongue of, utan. WNatcsp. | The Canadian sailor certainly loves a lass, and above all a lass named Mary or Marie or some kindred form. There float upon our waves more than two hundred sea nymphs of the family of Mary. In fact the Marys have it as easily as the Johns among the male names. There are over sixty Johns, including John Bull and John L., but not John D., and among the Jacks there is, of course, Jack Canuck. Staggering Imagination. But the masculine names. are nothing compared with the femiâ€" nine. In fact the samilor‘s devotion to feminine names almost staggers the imagination. There are over _one hundred variecties which range metaphorically from Dan to Beerâ€" sheba, literally from Ann to: Zoe. There are aristocratic ones such as Euphemia and Millicete and all the home favorites such as Lizzie and Libbie and Addie and Carrieâ€"but never a Carrie Nation. Among the Jennies there is a Jeanne d‘Arc, and among the Annies an Annie Laurie. Some famous names are, however, neglected. There is no Maud Muller in the flotilla of Mauds ! no Little Mabel among the Mabels; no Ida M. Tarbell amongst the Idas. a knowledge of London Music Halls; so that, all told, the sailor, it must be admitted, knows Who‘s Who in dramatic circles. The Feminine in Evidence. His feminine names are not, howâ€" ever, taken from the ballet, but from the domestic sphere. Fully forty per cont. of Canadian ship titles aro feminine Christian names. Canada‘s shipping trade will proâ€" vide room for this and other names which have been so far omitted, in newspaper parlance, so}ely for lack of space. The fascination of some of the heroines of the footâ€"lights has not been unrecorded. â€" There are ships called Edna May, the Jersey Lily, and Julia Oppâ€"after the wife of Mr. Faversham, Maud Allan and Mazurka keep time toâ€" gether. Quick Btep bridges the gulf between the classical dancers and the dashing College Widow, which is George Ade‘s contribution to the Canadian marine. _ The ships AIhaJ‘nbr.a, and Tivoli betray Canadian History. Many Evils. Nice Old Lady. Bhe was a charitable old lady, of a somewhat inquisitive turn_ of mind, and she was paying a visit to a naval hospital. Presently she came up to the bedside of a poor fellow who was one of the victims of a gun explosion. ‘‘My poor felâ€" low,"" she said, depositing a bunch of grapes within his reach, "Your sensations and sufferings at the time of the accident must have been terrible. Can youâ€"will you describe them to me!‘ ‘‘Well, mum,‘‘ he said stolidly, "I don‘t know as I can; but I can tell you I was on deck attending to my duty with the gun, when all of a sudden. there was a most infernal rowâ€"and then the nurse says, ‘Sit up and take this." ‘* ' No season of the year is so danâ€" gerous to the life of little ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholâ€" era infantum, dysentery and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mother‘s best friend is Baby‘s Own Tablets. They reguâ€" late the bowels, sweeten the stomâ€" ach and keep baby healthy. _ The Tablets are sold by medicine dealâ€" ers or at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockâ€"] ville, Ont. \ they set out. On reaching the wharf Mr.â€" Foy started to the priâ€" vate gate, which is used by direcâ€" tors and other officials, but his companion shouted, ‘"Hi, you can‘t go in there.‘" ‘"‘Why not?‘ said Mr. Foy. ‘"‘Cause that‘s private, jist for de big guns,‘"‘ was the anâ€" swer. ‘‘Well, that‘s all right. Do you know I own this wharf?" reâ€" turned the _ Attorney â€" General. ‘"‘Naw ye don‘t,""‘ said the urchin. ‘"‘What makes you think I don‘t?‘ ‘"Well, if you owned dis wharf you‘d‘ give me more‘n a nickel to carry your bag."‘ SUMMER HEAT * r Minard‘s Liniment Cures Coids, ctc. &n education. The Attorneyâ€"General for Ontarâ€" io, the Hon. J. J. Hoy, is fond of a good joke, and his enjoyment is not lessened by the fact that the joke is on himself{. Quite: recently he was hurrying to the Niagara Naviâ€" gation wharft in Toronto, carrying bis lawyer‘s bag, which was well filled with documents. A newsboy proffered his wares, but Mr. Foy shook his head, however, on second thought said, "If you wamt to earn a nickel you can carry this bag to. the dock.‘"" The boy agreed, and tish, Trish and French elements have united to form a Canadian marine. The Britannias and Briâ€" tish Lions sail or steam amicably beside the Canadas and Beavers. It is & little difficult to tell from these ships‘ names whether our sailors advocate cash contribution or whether they are in favor of naâ€" val autonomy. They seem at any rate to practise some kind of Imâ€" perial coâ€"operation. ‘ A Happy Family. i â€"On the whole the names he has given to his ships seem to show that \ the sailor‘s lot is as happy as his tastes and character are varied and versatile. He looks on the bright side of things. He calls no vessel The Wreck. The comradeship of friends and brethren is recorded by such ships as the Two Friends and The Four Brothers. The steamer Golden Rule, Good Intent and Happy Homes clearly indicate that the sailor‘s main desire is for hapâ€" piness and virtue. There should be no difficulty in persuading Canaâ€" dian youths to serve on ships like these. It may be that the problem of naval recruiting will be best solved by the judicioumws selection of attractive ship names. Hon. J. J. Foy. One on Nr.

See here, I can actâ€" ually write my name on the dust on top of this stove!_ Bridgetâ€"Shure, an‘ what a fine thing it is to have A young preacher picked up Bishâ€" op Pierce‘s hat and put it on his own head and it was exactly a fit. "Why, Bishop,‘"‘ said he, "your head and mine are exactly the same size.‘‘ ‘‘Yes,""‘ replied the Bishop, on the outside." (‘Now,"" asked the teacher, "who can tell me what an oyster is ?‘ ‘Silence for a moment, while small brows were knit in strained effort at remembrance.. Then little Tomâ€" my‘s facial muscles relaxed, and eagerly he raised his hand. "‘I know !!‘ he triumphantly announâ€" ced. ‘"‘An oyster is a fish built like a nut!" Unfortunately this. sire became so dangerous, viciously attacking the people who would befriend him, that he was lately condemned to be shot. The senterice, however, was commuted to imprisonment for life in the London Zoo, whither he was transported on a battleship and where he now dwells in an admired captivity in Regent Park. The Gibraltar ape, which is not a true ape, but a macaque, is espeâ€" cially interesting to zoologists beâ€" cause of the isolation of its species in the northwest corner of Africa, for it is restricted to the mountain fastnesses of the Barbary States. All the otherâ€"members of the genus Macacus are Asiatic, its nearest . ally being the rhesus or sacred monkey of India. The monkey the Japanese depict so constantly in drawings and carvings is another near relative. Ten.years ago there were fifty or sixty apes on the rock, but many were shot or trapped, and three years ago only three old females were left to represent the stock. When this came to the knowledge of the commandment he issued orâ€" der for their protection, and imâ€" ported from Morocco a male and four females; but the three old females attacked and soon killed the newcomers. A second experiâ€" ment was equally unsuccessful, but in 1911 a third male was obtained. who fought his way into the good graces of the old females and beâ€" came the sire of several young monâ€" keys that will now, it is expected, replenish the stock. Until about twentyâ€"five years ago these monkeys held undisputed posâ€" session of the upper part of the rock and were seldom seen; but when the fortification on the sumâ€" mit was begun the animals spread to the lower levels and wereâ€"one of the sights of the place. One locality Bruce‘s Farm, they avoided for years. ‘The story is that long ago they became very troublesome to the owner by raiding his fruit garâ€" den. After various expedients to get rid of them had failed, some one caught a young monkey and tying it=to.a tree.left it to starve to death. This cruelty was resented by the band, which, it is said, carâ€" ried away the dead body and never a.fzerward approached the place. _ History of Their Retention on the Rock. Travellers to Gibraltar are alâ€" ways on the lookout for the famous apes of the rock, the only wild monâ€" keys in Europe, and will be interâ€" ested td learn that their threatened extinction has beer averted.
