# The Most Ancient Lives of Saint Patrick/The Life and Acts of St. Patrick/Chapter 143

Of Saint Kertennus, the Bishop of Clochor.
And Kertennus, a disciple of Saint Patrick, bore the saint, now worn with age, on his shoulders, for so necessity required; and by his panting showed he his weakness or weariness. And the saint said unto him, "Often hast thou carried me, yet never before have I perceived thee thus to pant." Then answered Kertennus, "Wonder not, holy father, for now hath mine age come on me, and my companions whose years are as mine have from the forecast of thy bounty received the refreshment of a little rest; and mine head is covered with gray hairs, and I labor with daily toil, and earnestly do I long for quiet, which above all things else I need." Therefore Saint Patrick compassionating Kertennus, promised unto him a place fitted for contemplation, yet not unsuited to the exercise of pious duties. And as he much desired the presence of so worthy a disciple, he provided for him a church; yet not too remote from the archiepiscopal seat, which at the angel's command he had builded in Ardmachia; nor yet too near, lest by succeeding archbishops he should be oppressed; thus was it done, that in his frequent visits to Saint Patrick the man of God should not by the distance be wearied, nor his church appear contemptible by too close a neighborhood. And after some days he placed him over the church of Clochor, which the saint himself then ruled; and when he had thereto consecrated him, he gave unto him a chrismatory, which he had received from heaven. And Saint Kertennus there dwelling, and exercising within doors the office of an abbot, and abroad the office of a bishop, cherished his gray hairs, and finished his life in holiness.

Of a Boy who was blessed by Saint Patrick.
And a certain woman, who was strong in the faith, brought unto the saint her little son named Lananus, to be instructed in letters; and for that she believed his blessing would render the child more docile and ready unto learning, humbly she besought on her son the benediction of his grace. Nor was she deceived in her faith, inasmuch as the saint covered him with the aspiration of his blessing, and assisted him with the divine favor; and he impressed on the boy the sign of the cross, and committed him unto Saint Cassanus, that he might be instructed in virtue and in learning. And the boy thus blessed, in fifteen days learned the whole Psaltery; and afterwards he became a man of most holy life, and shining in miracles rested he at length in the Lord.

Of Conallus and of his Shield.
And Saint Patrick addressed his well-beloved, the Prince Conallus; and he enquired of him whether would he assume the habit of a monk. And the prince replied that his heart was prepared to do whatsoever the saint would command. Then the saint rejoicing at his devotion said unto him, "For the sign of power and protection, and for the proof of thy spiritual worth, shall thou bear thy shield and thy sceptre; the name of a laic shalt thou show; but the mind and the merit of a monk shall thou possess, inasmuch as many saints shall proceed from thee, and many nations shall in thy seed be blessed." And he signed his shield with the sign of the staff of Jesus, declaring that no one of his progeny who should carry this shield in battle should ever by any one be vanquished. And the chronicles of Hibernia declare, and her bards record, that this the saint's prophecy unto Conallus and his seed duly came to pass.
# The New Europe/Volume 2/Number 18/A German Warning from America

A German Warning from America
The Europäische Staats- und Wirtschafts-Zeitung of 31 December 1916, publishes a remarkable unsigned letter, dated 11 November, from New York and posted on board the “Deutschland,” in which, after references to the President’s election, and the desire for peace among the American masses, he emphasizes very strongly the view, “that the sinking of passenger ships without warning is impossible without producing serious conflicts. The President would in such a case probably be content with sending home the ambassador: but the indignation which would follow in Germany would probably unchain a thorough-going submarine war, whose effects here cannot be foreseen. At this moment the Allies have very considerable difficulty in satisfying their needs in America. The huge rise of prices has injured them probably more than the injury due to submarine warfare. This gives rise to serious financial troubles, which are getting steadily more urgent. If there should be a breach between Germany and the United States—even without war—these financial troubles would no longer exist. American industry would be mobilised for the purposes of the Allies in such a way that England would not lose breath for many years, quite apart from the possibility of America in the end entering the war. In the last few days I have had verbal messages from Germany, and I am horrified that the true American situation should still not be realised. It is already a hard enough struggle for us to exhaust England.”
This letter, which was published when the war of Peace Notes was at its height and before the Tirpitz policy of “unrestrained frightfulness” was openly adopted by Berlin, is almost prophetic in the light of subsequent events.

# The New Europe/Volume 2/Number 15/Another German "Scrap of Paper"

Another German “Scrap of Paper”
Prussia’s Proclamation to Bohemia in 1866
At the moment when the Allies have solemnly committed themselves to the liberation of the Czecho-Slovaks as one of their war aims, it is worth recalling the words of the proclamation issued by the Prussian High Command on 8 July 1866, the day of their entry into Prague during the Seven Weeks’ War against Austria. It will be seen from this document that the Germans were ready enough to recognise Bohemia’s nght to national independence when it suited their own ends to do so:—
To the Inhabitants of the Glorious Kingdom of Bohemia!
As the result of the war unchained despite us by Austria we set foot on the soil of your country, not as enemies, but with full respect for your historical and national rights.
We come to offer to all the inhabitants without distinction of rank, religion, or nationality, not war with its ravages, but a considerate friendship. Do not allow yourselves to be persuaded by our enemies and calumniators, that we have produced the present war by our desires of conquest. It is Austria who forced us to accept the combat, for she wished to attack us unexpectedly, in concert with the other German Governments. But we, on the contrary, will do nothing to oppose your just desive for independence and free national expansion. . . .
We leave the rest in full confidence in God the Omnipotent. If our just cause is victorious, the moment will perhaps come again, when the inhabitants of Bohemia and Moravia can freely dispose of their fate. A happier star will illumine this war and will establish your happiness for ever.

# The New Europe/Volume 2/Number 14/The Future of Bohemia

The Future of Bohemia
The reference to the liberation of the “Czecho-Slovaks” in the Allied Note to America may have caused some surprise among insular circles in this country; but France, who has, ever since the days when a Bohemian king fell at Crecy, shown keen interest in and sympathy with the Czech national cause, was already prepared for some such declaration. The Temps of 2 January contains a notable leading article on “Bohemia and the Entente,” which ought to have received some notice on this side of the Channel. After remarking that it is a mistake to pass over the sufferings of Bohemia in silence, the Temps writes: “Little is said of Bohemia, because everyone is agreed upon her rights and her hopes; because in each of the Allied countries it is considered that victory will restore independence to that vigorous nation which, under the German heel, has given such fine proofs of vitality, alike in the economic and the intellectual sphere. There are so many disputed points which cry out for comment, that those which are a matter of course are neglected. This is a mistake, for Germany neglects nothing.”
The writer goes on to discuss the repressive régime established in Bohemia during the war and the tendency of the new Austrian Premier, Count Clam-Martinitz, to tempt the Czechs into submission to the House of Habsburg by promising a milder régime, and holding out a vague prospect of concessions à la polonaise. It is not enough to urge the Czechs to stand firm on the difficult and isolated path which they have chosen. “It is also necessary that in their sore trial we should bring them the succour of a definite statement (le concours ​d’une parole claire); we must tell them before the world (tout haut) what we think to ourselves (tout bas), and since we are resolved to make Bohemia free, we must not leave our resolution half unsaid (la forme d’un sous-entendu). In a word, we must have the courage of our friendships and of our ideas, and to this people which is suffering and whom they are trying to dupe by exploiting its sufferings, we must cry from afar: ‘Wait for us! We are coming; don’t weaken!’” It was no mere accident that this article should have received such prominence in so representative a French organ on the very eve of the publication of the Allied Note, which expressly recognises the liberation of the Czecho-Slovak nation as one of our war aims.

​ADAMS, William (?1575-?1620). The first Englishman in Japan, whose romantic story is closely connected with the opening of that empire. He was born in Kent, near the mouth of the Thames. Having entered the service of some Dutch merchants, he sailed, in 1598, for the east, from the Texel, as the chief pilot of a fleet of five small ships. After a severe voyage, the Charity, in which Adams was sailing, anchored off the coast of Bungo (Kiushiu). Iyéyasu had recently come to power, and Adams, after a brief imprisonment, was taken into his favor and employed in the government service, to its great advantage. He built vessels and gave helpful information in respect to the intrigues of the Spanish and Portuguese. At a later day he received the revenues of the village Hémi, near Yokosuka, the modern imperial dockyard in Yeddo Bay. In 1613, the Clove, an English ship, brought other Englishmen to Firando, and, with Adams, they proceeded to establish a factory, of which Richard Cocks was chief. In 1616 Iyéyasu died and foreigners soon fell into disfavor. Not being allowed to return to his wife and children in England, Adams married a Japanese wife, and their descendants are still living. He died May 16, 1620, and was buried on a hill above Hémi-Mura, where his tomb and that of his Japanese wife were discovered in 1872 by James Walter, an American. A street in Yedo was named after him, and a celebration is still held in his honor. Letters of Adams may be found in Purchas his Pilgrimes, and in the publications of the Hakluyt Society. Consult: The Diary of Richard Cocks, 1615-22 (London, 1883); Hildreth, Japan as It Was and Is (Boston, 1855); and Griffis, The Mikado's Empire (New York, 1876).

# The New Student's Reference Work/Butter

See also Butter on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Butter, the fatty part of milk, obtained from milk or cream by churning. Milk is made up of three parts, the cheesy portion or curd, the whey or watery part which contains milk-sugar, and the butter; and when examined by the microscope is seen to consist of a number of little globules of fat floating in a clear liquid. These globules collect and form cream after the milk has stood a few hours, and the process of butter making or churning is simply to cause the particles of fat to come together in a mass. After churning, the butter is washed and salt added to prevent the forming of certain acids which give old butter its rancid taste. Besides the common method of churning, butter is made in parts of South America, by jolting the cream, which is put in gourds or skin bags, on the backs of donkeys, or, as in Buenos Ayres, by dragging it in a skin-bag behind a galloping horseman. Indeed, butter is said to have been discovered by carrying milk in skin bottles on camels, in which the butter was made by the jolting. It takes about two quarts of cream to make one pound of butter. Artificial butter, called oleomargarine, is now made from beef-fat.

Buttercup, a well-known wild-flower, member of the Crowfoot family. It was brought to this country from Europe and is generally distributed throughout Canada and the United States. In the north, Buttercups are especially abundant and handsome. Their season of blooming is from May to September, localities preferred by them meadows, fields, roadsides and grassy places. English children call Buttercups, King-Cups or Gold-Cups. Shakespeare speaks of them as “cuckoo-buds of yellow hue,” and says they “do paint the meadows with delight.” There are many kinds, but the first comer is the Bulbous Buttercup, blooming early in May, lasting till the end of June; a small, erect plant of meadow and roadside, the blossoms golden-yellow, leaves bright green. The Meadow Buttercup grows in field and by roadside, sometimes rises as high as three feet, and blooms from May to August, occasionally until frost, the flower, pale yellow. The Swamp or Marsh Buttercup, dots with gold low meadow lands, blooming from April to July, its blossoms huge and satiny. Children are warned not to bite Buttercup stem and leaf, as a blister might result. Buttercups, if eaten in large quantities by cows, might prove poisonous, but the acrid taste is too disagreeable for more than a few nibbles.
