is a raised trough under the rack in the stall, made for receiving the grain or corn that a horse eats.

small apartment, extending athwart the lower-deck of a ship of war, immediately within the haufse-holes, and fenced on the after-part by a partition, which separates it from the other part of the deck behind it. This partition serves as a fence to interrupt the passage of the water, which occasionally gushes in at the haufse-holes, or falls from the wet cable whilst it is heaved in by the capstern. The water, thus prevented from running aft, is immediately returned into the sea by several small channels, called scuppers, cut through the ship's side within the manger. The manger is therefore particularly useful in giving a contrary direction to the water that enters at the haufse-holes, which would otherwise run aft in great streams upon the lower-deck, and render it extremely wet and uncomfortable, particularly in tempestuous weather, to the men who mess and sleep in different parts thereof.

MANGENOT (Lewis), a canon of the temple at Paris, where he was born A.D. 1694, and died in 1768 at the age of 74. He was a social poet, and an amiable man. But although lively and agreeable in his conversation, his character leaned somewhat towards cynical misanthropy. Of this we may judge from the following verses, written on a little parlour which he had erected in a garden dependent on his benefice:

Sans inquiétude, sans peine, Je jouis dans ces lieux du destin le plus beau; Les Dieux ont accordé l'Âme de Diogène, Et mes faiblesses m'ont valu fou témoinage.

His Poems were published at Amsterdam in 1776. This collection contains two elegies full of nature, simplicity, and elegance; fables, some of which are well composed; tales, which are by far too licentious; moral reflections; sentences; madrigals, &c. &c.
