BRAVERY.
M , bravery is not in death.
However glad and glorious—
To breathe the gases’ toxic breath.
Among the clouds a bird to be,
Or to go gown within the sea—
Oh, it is brave to buttle thus,
^ And yet not all of bravery.

f I r l l l l . K the genesis of the
\

by the English to Americans In
general, by Southerners to those
residing in the North and by
Northerners to-New Englanders,
is shrouded In ttie mists of
colonial antiquity, there are at
least fwo explanations which
hear the earmarks of truth and
logic.
The first, and most generally
accepted of these, is that the
word is a corruption of the
French Anglais or "English"
used by tlie northern Indian
tribes during the early days of
the colonies. History states that
"Yengeese" was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro­
nunciation either o f tlie word
"Anglais" or "English" and It
Is rnsy to see how this. In turn,
could have become transmuted
Into "Yankee."
Another explanation, a trlfie
more scholarly, is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
"yankie" meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
•■Jankin," which was tlie diminu­
tive o f Jan or John. One au­
thority goes so far as to declare
that “ Jankin" was the generic
name applied to the English set­
tlers o f Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers of New York.
The first known use o f the
term In pr.ut occurred In a
poem
entitled
“ Oppression,"
published In 1785. in which ap­
peared the ' q e “ From no ant e«s
first the Portsmouth Yankee
rose."
Tlie coupling o f th*
words Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear to hear out the
contention that the term was
one applied principally to New
Englanders and therefore orig­
inally of Dutch origin.

used annually. The sizes o f hampers
which are recommended by the bureau
of markets of the Department of Ag­
riculture as being sufficient In num­
ber to satisfy all legitimate require­
ments of the trade are as follows:
8-qunrt, or 1 peck; 10-quart, or one-
half bushel; 32-quart, or 1 bushel;
48-quart, or 1H bushels.
It Is sug­
gested that the latter he made In two
styles to meet the preference In va*
rlous parts of the country.
The round-stave basket, for which
there Is no standard, is popular In all
regions except the southern and Mid­
dle Atlantic states and on the Pacific
coast. About 20,000,000 such baskets
are manufactured annually. The sizes
which are recommended as standards
by the bureau of markets are the
same as those recoramctplcd for the
hamper, except for the elimination of
the 8-quart size.
The splint, or
veneer, baskets, for which there are
also no standards, are well known to
the public as market baskets.
The
sizes which are proposed by the bu­
reau of markets are five in number
— 4, 8, 12, 16 and 21 quart.
