SURVEYOR Crossing the Ocean in Colonial T i A Journal written by a tourist who crowed the Atlantic to New York before the year 1700 baa recent ly been discovered. It gives a vivid picture of early shipboard accommo dation. The passenger was traveling for pleasure, not emigrating. Ue was accustomed to the best treatment the traveler ot that period could procure. His Journal records that the dimin utive sailing vessel get out on Its long voyuge fripa Holland bound for New Amsterdam. He begins early In the voyuge to complain of the cabin. There was no palatial lounge and writing room in those days. Although he was a 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 of the rough 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 quired for tire crossing. The bath-' tng facilities were primitive, consist ing of a few buckets of salt water enjoyed In n more or less secluded corner of the deck. The traveler girds at the customs regulations. It is recorded that the sen chests and rolls of clothing were turned inside out with no consider ation for the feelings of the owners. The writer noticed that the pas sengers who enjoyed political posi tions were not molested. “Cheshire Cat” Grin Variously Explained The expression, “to grin like a Chen- hire cat,” has never been satisfactorily accounted for. It was popularized by Lewis Carroll In his "Adventures of Alice in Wonderland." In this pretty story the Cheshire cat Is a grinning cat which makes its appearance to give Alice advice. The first time the cat suddenly disappears. But after considerable persuasion hy Alice the cat returns and then disappears grad ually and almost imperceptibly. The last thing to vanish was the grin, says the Detroit News. It 1s said that cheese originally made in Cheshire. England, was molded into forms like a grinning cat. the word "Cheshire,” te pronounced “Chesh-lr," with the accent on the first syllable and the “I” short ns In “Irri tate.” There is also a humorous ex planation 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. It te said, 1s so funny to the cuts In that region that they are perpetually amused at it. A person who shows ills teeth when he laughs is said “to grin like a Cheshire cat.” The expresslou is especially ap plied to a forced or sneering smile. “ H e a lin g ” Pouf era o f Flo w er» Some qtinlnt superstitions still lin ger around muny of the common flow ers In rural parts of England.
