7i HOCDj RIVER: OLACIEB,' THUM3DAY, MAY 17, 1906 OftlQIN"'bF;MAVAL TITLES. Barrawed Mllliarr Term From th ' Arabia the Saaaiah. In ibear)y days the rank of mlHiln.? T.tti Aiujpgwn. The chief officer of a qua4rob was called veoustnble or jus tice The term admiral as now nsed It derived from the Arabic "amir," or "air," commander (aa In "amlr-al-tahr," conmiaudof of the sea). The early English form waa "auilrul" uad U itlll; preserved ai such by th French. The Spanish and Fortnguem t rms are "almlr.uitc," the Italian "aiunilragllo." The t.tle captain is not nival but a military one. Under the older organization the real captain of a ship aras a master, but a military of ficer was placed on board, though ho knew nothing about nautical affairs, A the captain became bigger and big ger r the master became smaller and smaller until at the present day he fills -a subordinate, position, which Is gradually becoming obsolete, being re placed by an officer under the title of a navigating lieutenant. Commodore comes from the Spanish "eommendador." The title lieutenant, borrowed directly from the l'rench, is more modern and Is meant us a place holder or one who took the place of the captain when absent Sublieuten ant Is still more modern and at the sara time a misnomer, as he never wa a sublieutenant, but merely a mate, or one who assisted. In former days we bad no cadets, but volun teers. However, with the gradual ad' vance of polltness, the more seemly term of cadets was borrowed from the French and adopted as the title of the yong gentlemen in our navy. In place of paymasters the ships of old ad pursers, who looked after the provisions. The naval purser did more. He had charge of the stores of the ship and the money chest. Surgeons and surgeons' mutes fulfilled the duties of the doctors. Chaplains are of mod ern Introduction. Naval Instructors and schoolmasters ruled In their stead. The term mate was gather a universal on and applied to all branches. GIOTTO, THE ARTIST. Taa Circle He Drew From Which Grew a Famaaa Paraac. Giotto was a famous painter, sculp tor -and architect of the latter purt of the thirteenth century. lie was a son of a poor shepherd, but the attention of the great master, Clmabue, having been attracted to the boy by, a draw lug the lad bad made on- a fragment of slate, the young artist's fame spread rapidly throughout southern Europe. In -those days it was customary for th! popes to send for the noted seen of their realm, more for the purpose of gratifying .'their desires to see such celebrities than anything else. Giotto was no exception to the rule. No sooner had, the young Tuscan become famous than Pope Boniface VIII. In vited him fo Florence. When young Giotto, arrived at the gates of the pope's private grounds, according to -tbfe account, the -guard halted him and vTKjlwjulned concerning his mission. iwm J1" 'tlst mnt,e the mntter Pta'n. but the guard was not satisfied with 'the explanation, frequently Interrupting lotto's ejplnnatpry remarks with, "J fknowtbe must be a much larger and distinguished looking person than your self," and "Giotto, too, Is a famous painter. By your walk I wonld take you to be a shepherd." Finally., upon demanding evidence of the artist's skill, the latter stooped and traced a perfect O In the dust of the path with his linger. Any one who has ever at tempted the feat of drawing a perfect elrcle "offhand" well knows how diffi cult It Is. It Is needless to add that the artist was forthwith ushered Into the pres- ence of the supreme pontiff, and that since that time "Rounder than Giotto's O" has been a favorite hyperbole to In dlcate "Impossible perfection." ART. OF CONVERSATION. Sarataaeltr la a Neeennnrr lnaredl ea of Ena-aa-tnic Talk. "What I wish," says an essayist lu Cornhlll Magazine, "is that people would apply the same sort of serious ness to talk that they apply to golf; that they should desire to Improve their game, brood over their mistakes, try to do better. Why is it that so many people would think It priggish and ef feminate to try to Improve their talk and yet think, It mauly.and rational to try to shoot better? Of course it must be done with a natural zest and en joyment or It Is useless. ."What a. ghastly .picture one gets of the old fashioned talkers and wits, committing a number of subjects to memory when they are dressing for dinner and then turning over a com monplace book for apposite anecdotes and Jests, adding dates to those select ad that they may not tell the same story again too aoon, learning up a list of "epigrams, stuck In a shaving glass, allying forth primed to bursting with conversation I K"It,la,fllyary well to know before hand "the kind of line you would wish to take,? but spontaneity is a necessary Ingredient of talk,, and to make up one's' mind to get certain stories In Is to deprive talk of its fortuitous charm." AN IRISH TYPE. The Placid, Well Bora Girl 'of the ' "f .. Little Greea tale. "The Irishwomen never worry," said a woman who has mixed much in the uipr circles of the little green isle; "therefore they preserve their youth -better than the women of any other na tion. A peculiar type of personality has been left' in Ireland. England and " America have drained off the progress ive and hustling Epglaud from the miwir rlaaaea. America from the lower. Those who are left are of a placid,. contented type,rom whom the resi ."aaanejs. of present day civilization ems far removed, me auiiuess oi th. ntm, ud bv the .average well born Irian, girl .would be pathetic If it were Eat that she seems to thrive so wen on tt .Tear after year she follows the ; eaifta monotonUis round, meeting the an people at tennis In summer or n&4rtKaa in vintpr. If her home la m" a nhtlng district, no matter at how low an ebb the family finances may be, they will manage to give her a goad mount, but for the girls who do not hunt the long, wet winter, with fw neighbors and few books, passes ri as drearily aa In a mediaeval ttfaWKrv Xork Tribune. i A SHIP'S DOCTOR. The Thins For Which He Should ar Should Not Be raid. A correspondent of Lloyd's Weekly has expressed the views of a ship doc tor In the following words: "Many travelers are In doubt as to the po sition of the ship's doctor in regard to bis remuneration from passengers for services rendered. The merchant ship ping act enacts that every foreign go ing vessel having a hundred persons on board or upward shall carry on board as part of her complement a duly qualified medical practloner. Further more, an emigrant ship 1. e., a foreign going vessel which carries fifty or more steerago passengers must have a medical man, irrespective of the number of crew or of other passengers carried. The salary of the doctor on board is commensurate with these du ties to his ship. To any passengers who are suffering from ordinary forms of seasickness and its concomitant evils or who receives Injuries which are in any way due to the ship the doctor's services are free. For any sickness contracted before sailing or during a voyage which is not connected with the above named conditions he is entitled to a remuneration at the same rate as he would receive on shore. Ob viously it would be as unfair to ex pect that bis services to passengers should be rendered gratis as it would be for any visitor in a hotel or travel ing on a railway to expect to have medical attention free In any illness for which the hotel or railway authori ties could not bo held responsible." The writer of a letter to the Loudon Lancet says that the case of the ship's surgeon is stated with accuracy In the above sentences nnd adds that ship's surgeons are of two kinds first, those who after they have qualified take such a position either for health or for pleasure, and, second, those who elect to make sea life a permanency. The pay of the ship's doctor varies from $30 to $50 a month. This Is for duties to officers and crew. As regards passengers in relation to the surgeon the following groups will Include all: First, the passenger who takes the Initiative by remunerating the surgeon, perhaps handsomely, for any services rendered; second, the passenger who asks for his bill and pays It if reason able; third, the passenger who, travel- lag for the first time, does not know whether to ask for his bill or wait for It to be delivered, but is pleased to be enlightened on the matter; fourth, the passenger who clings to the old time notion that the surgeon is there soieiy for the benefit of passengers, and, fifth, the passenger who never intends to pay the surgeon. Medical Record. Marriage of the Adriatic. "The marriage of the Adriatic" was instituted In commemoration of a na val victory won by Sebastian Ziavl, doge of Venice, over Otto, son of Fred crick BarbarosBa, 1174. In consequence of this victory Pope Alexander III., who had been driven to take refuge In Venice, gave to the doge the sovereign ty of the sea, and every year the doge used to go iu grand procession in his state barge and throw a gold ring Into the Adriatic, saying, "With this riug I thee wed." Flowers were then thrown into the sea, and the procession re turned. The sentence delivered by the doge on the occasion was literally, "Despousamus te mare nostrum lu slg num verl pcrpotuique domiul." Bible Arithmetic. Ezeklel's reed was nearly eleven feet; a cubit was nearly twenty-two Inches; a hand's breadth Is equal to three and five-eighths Inches; a finger's breadth Is equal to a little less than an inch; a shekel of silver was about 2s.. 8d.; a shekel of gold was 2; a talent of sil ver was 400; a talent of gold was nearly 6,000; a piece of silver, or a penny, was 8',id.; a farthing was equal to halfpence; a mite was less than a farthing; a gerah was ld.; an ephah, or bath, contained four gallons and five pints; a bin was three quarts und three pints; an omer was six pints; a cab was five pints. London Globe. Romance of a Sons-. "I'll Hang My Harp on a Willow Tree" has attached to it a bit of royal romance. It was written by a young nobleman who became deeply enamor ed of Queen Victoria a year or so be fore she ascended the English throne, which event destroyed his hopes of winning her hand. The words first ap peared in an English magazine and were set to music by Wellington Guernsey. Thla aa the Mtat. Scene, a town In the north on a very misty day.
