BY THE WAY

"A ship's name," says says "Shipping," "should be a short word, to facilitate cabling, signaling, phoning, sighting at sea, and remembrance. It should be spelled easily and be pronounceable by illiterate persons. A large proportion of the names listed on the Shipping Board's Register fail to meet these conditions. Among the names listed are many like 'Osawatomie,' 'Sagadahoc,' West Loquassuck,' and Lake Ypsilanti."" The point seems a good one, but many famous ships have had difficult names. The warship to which Napoleon surrendered was the Bellerophon, nicknamed the "Bully Ruffian" by British sailors; the Téméraire was another famous British war-vessel; the Bonhomme Richard was Paul Jones's flagship; and the Constitution and the Guerrière are

hardly to be classed as examples of simple

nomenclature.

At a trial for assault and battery, Harper's Magazine" says, a Southern darky testified that the man who was knocked down lay on the ground five minutes. The opposing lawyer tried to discredit the witness, and, pulling out his watch, asked the Negro to tell him when five minutes had elapsed. The witness told him correctly. The astonished lawyer later asked for an explanation. "Why, boss," was the reply, "I jest figured it out." "But how?" "Why, by de clock on de wall behind you, sah."

Merit does not always give a man a place in the encyclopædias, or, if he does get in, assure correctness in describing his fame. Thomas Pringle, author of the poem "Afar in the Desert," which is printed in almost every anthology and which Coleridge considered " among the two or three most perfect lyric poems in our language," has only a casual reference in the greatest British cyclopædia, none in the latest American cyclopædia, and in another American cyclopædia his famous poem is called "A Farm in the Desert."

A hospital doctor writes in the "Ontario Post" that one of his patients had had the flu. He was seen walking around wearily. When he was asked what was wrong, he said: "Ah done had de Spanish flu." "That so?" he was asked; "what is the Spanish flu like, Sam?" "The flu," said Sam, "don't you-all know what de flu is? Why, it's a disease dat makes you sick six months after you gets well."

of the "Typographic Messenger," and
said: "I want to know how much money
my husband drew out of the bank last
week." "I am sorry, but I cannot give
you this information," was the answer.
"Well, the impudence!" snapped the
woman; "aren't
you the Paying Teller?"
"I am, madam," was the calm reply; "but
I am not the Telling Payer."

"You think Oriental rugs are a luxury
and bought only by the rich?" said a New
York City retail dealer in rugs the other
day. "Why, a colored woman living in a
rear tenement came in here not long ago
and bought a hundred-dollar rug. She had
the money with her, too. I was astonished,
I admit. But you see she had no doubt
lived as a cook in a fine house and had

acquired the taste for good things."

"When I was a cub printer on the Moberly Daily Monitor,"" says a correspondent of the "American Printer," "the office rule was to abbreviate the names of States. An overly-dressed woman pranced in on us one day and wanted to know who gave in the information that she was colored folks. No one could explain the mystery until she pointed an accusing finger at the line: The newcomers are Col. folks, and we bespeak for them a hearty welcome in our city.' We merely meant that they came from Colorado, but she insisted we had slandered her. After that we printed State names in full."

Among first editions treasured by a New
York bibliophile are fifty-six volumes of
Captain Mayne Reid's stories. Even this
portentous list of the prolific author's
works is not complete. "Afloat in the
Forest," originally published in that favor-
ite magazine of the boys and girls of
yesteryear," Our Young Folks," and "Odd
People," are not included. Captain Reid
was of Irish birth, but he came to the
United States as a young man and served
in the Mexican War. His first book, "The
Rifle Rangers," was based on his experi-
ences in that war. His books are still in
demand in the libraries.

An American unused to court etiquette
was invited, just before the war, says
"Collier's," to dine with a German prince.
A glittering flunky presented a silver plate
to him just before the hors-d'œuvres were
served. He blushed, fumbled in his pockets,
then said to himself, "I have nothing but
a ten-dollar note, but I don't think any
German dinner is worth ten dollars," so he
let the plate pass. He then discovered that

the plate was intended to receive the white gloves that he ought to have worn!

Nemesis, or whatever we may call the fatality of natural causes, seems to lie in wait for every inattentive human being. Here is a strange example: At Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a passenger train, according to the "Railway Age," was recently derailed near a grain elevator. The locomotive knocked down a part of the wall of the building, causing the rupture of several grain bins. The resulting avalanche of grain overwhelmed the engine and two cars, and the engineman, fireman, and one other man were smothered to death.

Even better

than money

"A. B. A." Cheques are better than actual money for the traveler for several reasons: They are more convenient to carryless bulky. They are safer, because no one can use them until you have countersigned them. Your countersignature on an "A. B. A." Cheque in the presence of the person accepting the cheque, is the only identification required.

They do not have to be changed into another kind of money when you go from one country into another. They are like dollars in the United States and Canada; like pounds, shillings and pence in the United Kingdom and the British Colonies; like francs in France, lire in Italy, and so on. In other words they are accepted internationally for payment of goods and services-"The safest, handiest travel funds."

Training for Authorship

Dr. Esenwein

How to write, what to write,

and where to sell. Cultivate your mind. Develop your literary gifts.Master the art of self-expression. Make your spare time profitable. Turn your ideas into dollars. Courses in Short-Story Writing, Versification, Journalism, Play Writing, Photoplay Writing, etc., taught personally by Dr. J. Berg Esenwein,

for many years editor of Lippincott's Magazine, and a staff of literary experts. Constructive criticism. Frank, honest, helpful advice. Real teaching.

One pupil has received over $5,000 for stories and
articles written mostly in spare time-"play work," he
calls it. Another pupil received over $1,000 before
completing her first course. Another, a busy wife
and mother, is averaging over $75 a week from
photoplay writing alone.

There is no other institution or agency doing so much for writers, young or old. The universities recognize this, for over one hundred members of the English faculties of higher institutions are studying in our Literary Department. The editors recognize it, for they are constantly recommending our courses.

We publish The Writer's Library. We also publish The Writer's Monthly, especially valuable for its full reports of the literary market. Besides our teaching service, we offer a manuscript criticism service.
