her up on deck every day, and fix her

up for her under an awning. And there
he'd nurse her and care for her just as if
he'd been sister of charity. You might

In the pleasant little Rhenish town
of Biberich there lives horse of pre-

dealing with an inebriate master has
achieved well-merited celebrity.

Irish Famines.

AS there were heroes before Aga

liner, there were Irish tamines before
l946-47. There was serious failure of
the potato crop, beginning in 1879 and
eliminating in l74l, the bliadhain an
air, or year Of slaughter. 1t was left
almost entirely to privatecharity to deal
with. In 1922 the provinces of Munster
and Connaught were subjected to very
severe calamity. The potatoes rotted in
q sudden and unaccountabie manner in
the pits, and widespread suffering fol-
lowed. A single committee, with the
Archbishop of Canterbury at its head,
raised over 81, 500, 1000, while parliament
voted large sums for public works Of
various kinds. Again in 1881 the po.
tato crop failed in Galway, Mayo and
Donegal, and again the English people
and parliament came to the relief of the
distressed population with alacrlty. In
1889 and 1912 similar failures were
met by similar remedies, and then came
the real crisis of l646-47. The blight
which had appeared for the first time
in America in 1914 reached Ireland in
the autumn of ls45. Writing in August,
la46, Father Matthew says: Il passed
from Cork to Dublin, and this doomed
plant bloomed in all the luxuriance of
an abundant harvest. Returning on
the third inst, beheld with sorrow one
wide waste OF putrefying vegetation.
The government at once took energetic
action. The corn and navigation laws
were suspended, and S5OO,OOO worth Of
Indian corn brought from, the United
States. BY the middle of August, 1916
SO, 600, 900 had been expended in reliev-
ing the famine, one-halt rs loans, the
other as grants, while the volunteer re-
lief committee raised S5O0,0O0. Bread.

thousands" says Sir Charles, at the
close of this famine, had been rationed
before, but neither ancient nor modern
history can furnish 4 parallel to the
fact that upward Of 3.0G0, 900 OF persons
we're fed every day in the ncighborhood
of their own homes by administrative
arrangements emanating from and con-
trolled by one central office. And the
expense was moderate compared Win
the magnitude of the object. The
amount ut which it was originally es-
timated by the commissioners was Sl5,-
600, 600, the eum for which parliament
was asked 10 provide was Sll ,O0O,OCO.
and the sum actually expended was

ment stores The calamity OF lo46-H
was recognized as national, and it was
met by great national effort by which
the landlords were perhaps the great
est beneticiaries.

Words Of Wisdom.

It is easier for a man to descend TO
earth thar to mount to heaven.
However laborious the life OF the
good, it is less 80 than that OF the bad
Women cherish fashion because it
rejuvenates them, or at least reneWs
them.
True philosophy places US above
honors, but nothing places US ABOVE the
ennui they cause.
Show me q pr ople whose trade is dis
honest, and I will show you people
whose religion is sham.
Strong minds, like hardy cvergreens,
are most verdant in winter; when
feeble ones, like tender summer plants,
are leafless.
There are truths which some men
despise because they have not examined,
ana which they will not examine be-
cause they despise.
Childhood often holds a truth with
it's feeble fingers, which the grasp OF
manhood cannot retain, which it is the
pride of utmost age to recover.
A good moral character is the first
essential in 8 man. 1t Is, therefore,
highly important to endeavor not only
to be learned. but to be virtuous.
To feel much for others and little for
ourselves, to restrain our selfish and to
indulge our benevolent affections, con-
stitute the perfection Of human nature.
The wisest man may be wiser to-day
than he was yesterday, and tomorrow
than he is to-day. Total freedom from
change " lid imply total freedom from
error.
Many persons sigh for death when it
seems far off, but the inclination van
ishes when the boat upsets, or the loco
motive runs off the track, or the measles
SET in.
The utmost excellence at which hu'
manity can arrive, is Il constant and de-
tcrmined pursuit Of virtue without re
gard to present dangers and advan
tages.
Fortunate people seem to think tina
their less happy fellow. creatures oush
to suffer and die before them Will
decency, rs the Romans used to require
their gladiators to do.
The action of the soul is ofterer il
that which is felt and left unsaid, thai
in that whic is said in any converse
tion. 1t broods over every society, an!
men unconsciously seek for it in eacl
other.
Mere bashfulpess without melit il
awkward; and merit without modesty
insolent. But modesty with merit ha
o double claim to acceptance, and gen
orally meets with as many patrons a
beholders.

At Evening.

At Evening.
Upon the hills tho wind is sharp and cold,
The sweet young grasses wither on the void,
And we. oh Lord, have wandered from thy
fold;
But evening brings US home.
Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks,
Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered
focks;
But evening brings US home.
The sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat
Their pititul complaints-oh, rest is sweet,
& When evening brings US home.
We have been wounded by the hunters darts,
Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy comipg--when the light departs,
At evening, bring Us home.
Tho darkness gathers. Through the gloom no
Rises to guide US. We have wandered far.
Without thy lamp we know not where we are
At evening brirgs US home.
The clouds are round US, and the snow-driits
thicken.
Oh, thou dear Shepherd, leave US not to sicken
In the waste night-our tardy iootsters
quicken.
At evening bring us home.

Fashion Notes.


Lace mitts to match costumes are
worn for evening.
Lisle thread gloves are the favorites
for summer wear.
Handkerchief bows for the throat have
gingham-like borders.
Zones pointed back and front are again
worn with dressy toilets.
Just now it is at the left side Of the
neck that the bouquet is fixed.
The fashion of wearing flowers, either
natural or artificial, never goes out.
The most fashionable parasols are of
Surah silk or satin, in any color pre-
ferred, or black or white and hand
painted.
Square bows Of gros grain ribbon
made of three loops and one notched
end, drape the sides of taffeta silk over
skirts.
Three.cornered pieces of India null,
dotted with tiny specks of black, blue
or red, are worn in kerchief shape close
around the neck. They have wide
hem.
Colored stockings are much worn,
both plain and with small patterns or
embroidered corners near the ankle.
Silk stockings for the evening are some
times embroidered with pearls.
The most fashionable colors in millin-
ery are straw color, bran color, all the
tussore shades, seal brown, Du Barrie
rose, white, almond, biscuit, violet,
heliotrope, the cashmere shades, and
red. ,,.
Linen, brown Holland, workhouse
sheeting and pique seem to have utterly
disappeared from fashionable LIE, ana
their place has been taken by sateens
and Foulards, soft Indian silks, and
cream -colored Corahs.
Unbleached lace, embroidered in COL
ors, is worn by artistic English women
with all washing dresses-colored dots
and sprigs upon either dark or light
grounds arc the favorite style; also
quaint Japanese patterns.
Very odd-looking dressing jackets
have appeared, made Of the taVorlte
pocket handkerchiefs; thosein red with
q gay Indian arabesque in yellow. on
them are very bright The trimmings
are cofee-colored Languedoc lace, Win
bows of the handkerchiefs
In London, in Rotten Row, round
felt hats are as much, if not more, worn
than the high silk hats; and every lady
appears TO have a bouquet of flowers
pinned 10 the side Of her habit. 1t is ust
the one touch of color that is wanted,
ar d the only one that is admissible.

A Sad Bathing Place.

A correspond ent of the London Globe,
writing from Hall, an Austrian "bad ="
(bath), says: The fearful ravages of
these diseases meet one at every turn -
here a livid wretch wrapped up and
being drawn about in wheeled chair !;
there some one painfully supportin g
himself on crutch; sadly sitting un-
der this tree a woman, her hesd and
face wrapped up, mass of scrofula, and
many equally l,athsome sights. Nu-
merous are the suicides which here
take place, for people put off coming
till hope is gone, and when they find it
too late 20 to some quiet corner and
send bullet through their heads. But
the saddest OF sad sights is the children,
of whom there are many suffering in
silence or crying with pain. No romp-
ing here, no shouts Of pleasure, no
games in the fields, no rosy cheeks and
sunburnt legs, but crooked limbs and
suppurating wounds, heritage from
their parents. The little patients sit sad
and downcast or walk quietly by their
nurses. Many of them suffer from eye
disease, and are led about blindfolded.
Hall is quite a modem bad" for al

ages-as records show-they were, until
forty years ago, used only by peasants in
the neighborhood. The waters are very
powerful, and many casus desperatus
has found q new lease OF ]ife through
their agency; but they are limited in
quantity, for their flow, although regu
lar, is inconsiderable. Hall can thus
never become large "bad," and could
not supply the wants of more than
2,NO invalids. About half that num-
be. are there now. I ascert lined on
inquiry that one Englishman was taking
the waters-they are bathed in and
drank-and this gentleman and an
American are the only two Anglo
Saxons" who have been there for the
last four years. Strange to- say the
most numerous community of foreign
ers is that of the Russians, Of whom
there are many first-rate families. Of
the good Austrians and Hungarians one
meets in Hall some of the creme. Could
the stones of this quiet place but speak
they could tell some startling family
tales!

To-Day and TO.Morr0w.

Iffortune with smiling face ~
Strew roses on our way,
When shall we stop to pick them up?
To-day, my love, to-day!
But should she rown with face oil care
And talk OF coming sorrow,
When shall we grieve, If grieve we must
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow!
If those who've wronged rs own their faults,
And kindly pity pray, ~
When shall We listen and iorgiyel
To-day, my love, to-day!
But il stern justice urge rebuke,
And warmth from mem'ry borrow,
When shall we chi le, if chide we must 7
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow!

The Family Purse.

The money question between husband
and wife is one of the most serious draw
backs to married happiness, and it is
time it was adjusted on q more Just and
equal basis. The life of utter depend
ence which some women lead is crush
ing and degraded. Men do not realize
the utter helplessness and vacuity to
which the system condemns woman.
Now, does anybody believe that it is
necessary for the welfare of the family
that she should 60 to bim for twenty
five cents every time she needs it for
car-1are or a spool of thread? Is it
right or j1st to take her imbecility in
money matters for granted before she
has been testedP Is it not just such
women, who are left by the failure of
some speculative craze to their own re-
sources, with the burden of family
upon their inexperienced shoulders,
who often display wonderful powers of
energy and calculation, in addition to
thrift and persevering industry, which
ought to put all such men to shameP
Women, as general rule. can make
one dollar go as far as two in the hands
of men; and many conceitej indlvldu-
ais, who now consider that the social
system bounded by four walls Of their
dwelling would cease to revolye if they
were taken out of it, would find great
happiness and great pecuniary advan-
tage in putting the control of all the in
terror details of their homes in the
hands of their wives, with division of
the income equal to the requirement.-

The case Of Albert Trice for the
murderous assault upon Ellen Daus-
bury (colored) and her daughter was
called this morning in the police
court, but the prosecutors were unable
to appear. The elder woman still lies
in a precarious condition from the
wounds in her head, and her daughter
has had several commissions.
The plot thickens. The more inqui-
ny that is made the farther from dis
coyery seems the real criminal. The
girl says she will swear hat she enter
ed her room from the outside that
night, locking the door after her. AZ
forwards she started through a parti-
ton door to 60 into her mothers
room and saw Trice standing
just inside. She was about to speak
to him when he raised a fat-iron and
struck her in the mouth. She knows
no more, Ap old colored man who
heard the commotion broke into the
room, falling on his face when the
door few open. He reco.ered in time
to see a man dressed as a woman fly
past him out Of the door. Another
witness testiies to seeing a man dump
a woman inc the bayou two hundred
yards away. Several witnesses will
swear Trice was at home from SIX to
eight o'clock, during which .imo the
murder was thought to be com
mitted. Putting things together it
would seem that one nan committed
the assault on the old woman, and
Ehen the daughter entered knocked
her blind with a Cat iron, Iust at
this moment the old eolored man burst
in the door and fell on his face. The
would-be murderer sprang over him
unnoticed and the girl, who is large
and masculine in appearances ran PAST
him just as he recovered, dashlng down
the road, missing the bridge and
tumbling into the bayou. The IN.
%raveling Of the affair is being dilligent
ly pursued by the police who hops il
may lead to the detection Of the muir.
