When seen on the tips of the fingers, the hair of the head, mast-tops, and so on, the phenomenon is called Castor and Pollux (if double), Cuerpo Santo (Spanish), Corpusanse, Dipsas, St. Elmo _or_ Fires of St. Elmo (Spanish), St. Ermyn, Feu d’Hélène (French), Fire-drakes, Fuole _or_ Looke Fuole, Haggs, Helen (if single), St. Hel´ena, St. Helme’s fires, Leda’s twins, St. Peter and St. Nicholas (Italian), _or_ Fires of St. Peter and St. Nicholas. =Jacks= (_The Two Genial_), Jack Munden and Jack Dowton. Planché says: “They were never called anything else.” The former was Joseph Munden (1758-1832), and the latter, William Dowton (1764-1851)—Planché, _Recollections etc._, i. 28. =Jackson Reed=, aged light-house keeper. Believes in special providences and personal deliverances. Part of his religion is to keep the “light” burning. One afternoon he is detained by an upset on the road, and a storm arises. His skeptical wife, almost bed-ridden with rheumatism, bethinks herself that her nephew is on the sea, and the light is not kindled. After hours of agony she drags herself up the stairs, praying as she goes, and finds the _lamp lighted_, she believes, miraculously. Her husband coming home, guesses that a girl once beloved by the nephew, was his guardian angel. “Abbey Weaver lit that lamp; but _Sarah needn’t know_!”—Mary E. Wilkins, _The Bar Light-House_ (1887). =Jacob, the Scourge of Grammar=, Giles Jacob, master of Romsey, in Southamptonshire, brought up for an attorney. Author of a _Law Dictionary, Lives and Characters of English Poets_, etc. (1686-1744). =Jac´omo=, an irascible captain and a woman-hater. Frank (the sister of Frederick) is in love with him.—Beaumont and Fletcher, _The Captain_ (1613). =Jacques= (1 _syl._), one of the domestic men-servants of the duke of Aranza. The duke, in order to tame down the overbearing spirit of his bride, pretends to be a peasant, and deputes Jacques to represent the duke for the nonce. Juliana, the duke’s bride, lays her grievance before “duke” Jaques, but of course receives no redress, although she learns that if a Jaques is “duke,” the “peasant” Aranza is a better man.—J. Tobin, _The Honeymoon_ (1804). _Jacques_ (_Pauvre_), the absent sweet-heart of a love-lorn maiden. Marie Antoinette sent to Switzerland for a lass to attend the dairy of her “Swiss village” in miniature, which she arranged in the Little Trianon (Paris). The lass was heard sighing for _pauvre Jacques_, and this made a capital sentimental amusement for the court idlers. The swain was sent for, and the marriage celebrated. Pauvre Jacques, quand j’etais près de loi Je ne sentais pas ma misère; Mais à présent que tu vis loin de moi Je manque de tout sur la terre. Marquise de Travanet, _Pauvre Jacques_. _Jacques_. (See JAQUES.) =Jac´ulin=, daughter of Gerrard, king of the beggars, beloved by Lord Hubert.—Beaumont and Fletcher, _The Beggar’s Bush_ (1622).
