Fast Boats in 1840.
Although the Cunard line operated
the first regular passenger schedule
on the Atlantie ocean, inaugurated by
the Britannia in 1840, the Savannah,
an American ship, was the first steam
vessel to make the crossing, depend
ing, according to the records, more
upon her sails than her engines, which
ran for less than 100 hours. She was
built in New York city and sailed from
Savannah for Liverpool on May 25,
1819, arriving 35 days later.
The Royal William, built at Three
Rivers, near Quebec, made the entire
voyage under steam in 1833. Her first
trip from Quebec to London consumed
40 days. 'The Britannia’s maiden trip
from Liverpool to Boston in 1840 was
made in 14 days and 8 hours. Her sis
ter ship, the Acadia, crossed from Liv
erpool to Halifax in the same year in
11 days and 4 hours. The next year
she made this voyage in 9 days and 20
bours, a record which stood for many
years, |
English Place Names.
The charm of English place names
is not only in their bewlldering va
riety, but In the fact that almost all
of them seem indigenous. At any rate,
they are all rooted deep, from what
ever original soil they came. Latin
and Danish names have been weath
ered and mellowed in so many cen
turies of English history that one re
members only with an effort that they
are not English in origin. Only the
Norman names have the slightest
tincture of foreign suggestion about
them. French is still a rather tender
exotic which needs to be trained
against the sunny southern wall of the
language. Beaulleu does not seem to
belong naturally in Hampshire. But
even to.domesticate the names from
the three or four other languages Is
no small triumph in verbal horticul
ture.—~Christian Sctence Monitor.
Called White House “Barn-like.”
The letters written by Mrs. John
Adams, the first First Lady of the
Land to be hostess at 1600 Pennsyl
vania avenue, in which she described
the “Palace” as being “barn-like” and
“half furnished” have been a source
of historical interest in comparison to
the newspaper accounts of the com
forts and luxuries of the White House
as it stands today. However, Mrs,
Adams had made the executive man
sion more home-like by the time Thom
as Jefferson and hls many daughters
came to occupy it from his magnificent
homestead at Monticello, Va.

When the capital of the United
States was moved to Washington in
1800, during the administration of
John Adams, the official residence of
the President was called the “Palace.”

CONCEARNING DOGS
The dog is placed at the feet of
women in sculpture to symbolize af
fection and fidelity,
David Lawrence, hero of a popular
old English tale, had a dog which was
so lazy that it leaned its head against
a wall when it barked.
The expression, “dog In the manger,”
is applied to a churlish person who
will not use what is wanted by another
nor let the other use it, |
In the Far East the dog still is held
in abharrence as a scavenger of the
streets, and the appellation “dirty dog”
is the superlative of disdain.
Barry, the famous mastiff of Great
St. Bernard’s, in the early part of the
Nineteenth century, was instrumental
in saving the lives of 40 Alpine travel
ers.
A dog at the feet of a Crusader was
symbolic of the fact that the Crusader
followed the standard of the Lerd as
falthfully as the dog follows the foot
steps of his master.
Cerberus, according to Roman myth
ology, was the three-headed dog guard
ing the entrance to the infernal
regions. Hercules dragged the mon
ster to earth, but released him,
“Barking dogs never bite” had its
origin in the statement that dogs in
their wild state never bark, but howl,
whine and growl. Barking is an ac
quired habit and, it was believed, was
no indication of a savage temper.
“Dog-watch” is a corruption of
“dodge-watch” and has no relation to
dogs. In seafaring two short watches,
one from 4 o'clock to 6 and the other
from 6 to 8 in the evening, were in
troduced to dodge the routine or pre
vent the same men always keeping
watch at the same time,
