[U. S.] Hence, humorously 2. A small pa- 
per note used as money; a printed promise 
to pay a small sum issued, as money without 
legal security. The name came into early use in the 
United States for notes issued on private responsibility, 
in denominations of from three to fifty cents, as substi- 
tutes for the small coins withdrawn from circulation dur- 
ing a suspension of specie payments ; people were there- 
fore obliged to accept them, although very few of them 
were ever redeemed. Such notes abounded during the 
financial panic beginning with 1837, and during the early 
part of the civil war of 1881- 5. After the latter period 
they were replaced by the fractional notes issued by the 
government and properly secured, to which the name was 
transferred. [Slang, U. S.]

ton, with colored stripes.

Shinto (shin'to'), . [Also Sintoo,Sintu; Chin.- 
michi. See kami.'] The system of nature- and 
hero-worship which forms the indigenous reli- 
gion of Japan. Its gods number about 14,000, and are 
propitiated by offerings of food and by music and dancing. 
The chief deity is Amaterasii, the sun-goddess (that is, the 
sun), the first-born of Izanagi and Izanami, the divine 
creative pair. The system inculcates reverence for ances- 
tors, and recognizes certain ceremonial defilements, such 
as contact with the dead, for purification from which 
there are set forms. It possesses no ethical code, no doc- 
trinal system, no priests, and no public worship, and its 
temples and shrines contain no idols. See harm.

A vessel of considerable size adapted to navi- 
gation: a general term for sea-going vessels 
of every kind, except boats. Ships are of various 
sizes and fitted for various uses, and receive different 
names, according to their rig, motive power (wind or 
steam or both), and the purposes to which they are ap- 
plied, as war-ships, transports, merchantmen, barks, brigs, 
schooners, luggers, sloops, xebecs, galleys, etc. The name 
ship, as descriptive of a particular rig, and as roughly im- 
plying a certain size, has been used to designate a vessel 
furnished with a bowsprit and three masts a mainmast, 
a foremast, and a mizzenmast each of which is composed 
of a lower mast, a topmast, and a topgallantmast, and car- 
ries a certain number of square sails. The square sails on 
the mizzen distinguish a ship from a bark, a bark having 
only fore-and-aft sails on the mizzen. But the development 
of coastwise navigation, in which the largest vessels have 
generally a schooner rig and sometimes four masts, has
