IRELAND.

Yesterday was 81. Pstriek's day, national
day in ireland, holiday with all Irishmen
and their. decendents throughout the uni

is struggling for rights that are justly her
own, and opposing gallant front 20 oppres-
sion and wrong, St. PatricRs day is
invested with peculiar interest. Ireland
Who is it that utiers the name, that
thinks of the green isle Of the sea, who does
not feel his heart beat with emotions of love,
honor, and respect? Never was there bat
tle-feld for a century past that did not give
to the world hero who was an Irishman.
Never,has there been an era in poetry; an era
in romance; an era in history; an era in deeds
or achievements of any nature whaso-
Irishmsn as the central figure, as the chief
character. Brave to a fault, if it be possible;
generous, even unto self.sacrifice F; true and
truthful 10 the ultima thule Of the meaning
of those words; faithful to friendships and
to duty, even to death, the Irish people
challenge the respect, the honor and the
admiration of all other peoples. Gallant
soldiers wherever they serve, and no flag floats
That they have not fought for intellectual

A nationality without nation; people
without home that they can truly call their
own; country with its sons in every cline
honoring that cline with their intelligence
and their exploits, Ireland stands forth to-day
tine cynosure of all eyes, the loved and
admired nationality of the universe with
praises, with good wishes on the lips of all
people in its behalf.

Wild sheen of the Sierra.

In the months of May and June the
wild sheep of the Sierra bring forth their
lambs, in the most solitary and inaccess-
ible crags, far above the nesting-rocks
of the eagle. have frequently come
upon the beds of the ewes and lambs at
an elevation of from twelve to thirteen
thousand feet above sea level. These
beds are simply oval-shaped ho-lcws,
paved out among loose, 6isintegrating
rock-chips and sand, upon some sunny
spot commanding a good outlook, and
partially sheltered from the winds that
sweep those lofty peaks almost without
intermission. Such is the cradle of the
little mountaineer, aloft in the very sky {:
rocked in storms, curtained in clouds,
sleeping in thin, icy air; but wrapped
in his hairy coat, and nourished by a
strong, warm mother, defended, from
the talons of the eagle and teeth of the
sly coyote, the bonnie lamb grows apace.
He soon learns to nibble the tufted
rock-grasses and leaves Of the white
spiraa his horns begin to shoot, and
before summer is done he is strong and
agile, and goes forth with the flock,
watched by the same divine love that
tends the more helpless human lamb in
its warm cradle by the 6reside."

How Much to Eat.

Having tested number of meals in q
general way, eating more or less each
time, find out as Lear as may be whes IS
the proper amount for a meal. Begin
with a very light breakfast of ordinary
food, such as you have been accustomed
to, and note the number of hours you
can go without feeling a want of more
food. For very light breakfast, say
one roll, cup of coffee and very small
piece of meat, three hours or less will
be found the limit. This is not offered
as rule butas suggestion, for it makes
a vast difference what you do during
those three hours. A given amount of
food will go further in manual labor
than in mental labor, as brain work is
more exhausting than hand work. The
next time try little more, and in the
course of dozen breakfasts you will
learn to Judge pretty closely what you
require to carry on your work till the
hour of the next meal. Having found
out just what you need, never, on any
consideration, take more. Never mind
how nice steak, how tempting any food
may be, shut right down on the whole
eating business the instant you have had
enough. Too little can be repaired by
eating a light lunch before the next
meal. Too much can not be repaired,
and You must pay for indiscretion. In
all this there must be plain common
sense. Do not initiate the invalid who
kept pair of scales on the breakfast
table to weigh his daily bread. Eat and
be satisfied, and then stop

Eating with a Knife.

A subscriber says We have many
authorities on the subject, but / would
like to see sensible, intelligent opin-
ion as to how far the knife can be made
use of in eating, without ones being
considered ill-mannered. The short
est answer is best-,aot at all, in polite
society. But what our correspondent
perhaps means is: What sense or rea-
son is there in the prohibition, by So
ciety, of the use of the knife in eating /?
That is harder question; but the
sufficient fact is that society doesn't
need to furnish reasons. In the realm
of etiquette, whatever is, is right. As
q matter of fact, it is doubtless alarm
ing or unpleasant to many people to
see knife put to the mouth it sug-
gests possible cut, and too nearly re-
sembles shoveling in the food. A man
may know that he will not cut him.
self, and declare that he lifts no more
food than his neighbor does on fork,
but society says that it is i'll bred, and
until the custom changes, people had
best conform, unless it is a matter of
conscience with them. As Hamerton
says, in parallel case, You may see no
reason why you cannot come to the
dinner-table with your shooting boots
and jacket on, and bring your dog with
you, if YOU are clean and your dog we'll
bred. Very well. Society will not
argue the point, much less concede it.
1t will simply drop or taboo you. If it
is essential that man shall eat with
knife, or in his shooting jacket, or that
he shall take up his plate in his hands,
or drink ont of the bottle, or discard
both knife and fork on the plea that
'.fingers were made before forks" he
had better dine alone. That is the way
it seems to us. Conformity is the best
wisdom in minor unessential matters of
custom and fashion.

ice-making and refrigerating machines
are constructed so as to utilize this
property possessed by all volatile fluids.
II the ether be placed in metallic ves-
sci exposing large surface to water or
any other fluid which requires to be
cooled, all the heat necessary for the
volatiIzation of the ether must be taken
from the water the volatilization of the
ether is assisted by means of an air
pump, and the ether vapor is then con-
+veyed through pipes to another vessel
also surrounded by cold water, where
it gives up the same amount of heat
again, and is thus converted back into a
liquid In this way a comparatively
small quantity of ether will cool or even
freeze an indefinite quantity of water,
and the whole of the ether can be con-
densed again into the liquid state. In
stead of ether, liquid ammonia, sui
phurous acid, or other very volatile sub
stances may be used, and variety of
complicated mechanical arrangements
are introduced to assist in the volatili-
zation, condensation and preservation
of the volatile agent used. These me-
chanical arrangements have been SO far
perfected that even water itself has been
used as the evaporating agent, and ice
has been successfully produced by such
means. Great cold and even ice has also
been produced by the expansion and con-
traction of atmospheric air by machines
constructed on a similar principle to
those We have Just referred to.

How to Live in Summer.

Clothing must be considered, for it
has much to do with our elasticity of
movement. 1t is as yet q point of dis
wear, many approving of light woolens.
For women nothing is sweeter in sum-
mer than linen dress; it is a pity We
! do not patronize linen more for adults;
for children, cottons; for workingmen,
worsteds. The heavy suits of men are
weighing them down in summer, and
clothes of serge are far preferable to
those of thick wooden cloth. Very thin
silk is a cool wear. The heavily-laden
skirts of women impede the free action
of movement much, and should be SIM
plined as much as possible for summer.
So also the headgear.
Infants, if at all delicate, should not
be allowed to go with bare feet; it often
produces diarrhea, and they should al
ways wear a flannel band around the
stomach. Another important matter is
the changing of night and day linen
among the poorer classes. 1t is terrible
to think that workingman should lie
down in the shirt in which he has per-
opltu uli uatN ftt Ills hOt Nofh. LIEU uiSu
aecustom themselves to good washes
every evening before they sit down to
their meals, and to changes at night,
that they may take up dry shirt when
going to their hard days work.
Frequent change of linen is abso-
lutely necessary-anyhow, night and
a day change, This change alone would
help to stay the mortality among the
children, if accompanied with other
healthy measures, such as sponging the
body with little salt and water. Where
tenements are very close, wet sheets
placed against walls will aid to revivfy
the air and absorb bad vapor in rooms.
Ali children's hair should be cut short;
boys hair may be cropped and girls
hair so arranged by nets or plaits that
air passes freely around the neck.
Light head coverings are essential In
summer, for the head must be kept cool.
The most serviceable dress is that which
allows air to pass freely around your
limbs and stops neither evaporation of
the body nor the circulation of the re-
freshing atmosphere, In summer You
may breathe freely and lightly, You can
not do so with your stomach full of un-
food, your blood full of over
heated alcohol, your lungs full of vitiat-
ed air, your smell disgusted with nau-
seous scents, your system unable to
carry out the natural process of diges-
ton. All the sanitary arrangements in
the world will do no good if We eat and
drink in such a fashion that we are con-
stantly putting on fuel where it is not
needed, and stuffing up our bodily
draught, as we would that of a heating
appliance. Our ignorance and our bad
habits spoil the summer, that delightful
season of the year-nothing else.

wife whom eyerybody-you, most of all
must consider disagreeable?
She hesitated a moment.
"What do Won mean ?" cried Bert, in
amazement.
"You cannot have forgotten our first
meeting" she said, more composedly /;
''do not obige me to repeat your words
that evening""
The room swan around Bert Dean.
"That little fright" Oh! the sacrilege,
the horror, of that speech Could he
have made it-and about that angel !?
Overwhelmed with modification, he
strove to explain, to say how entirely
his feelings were altered.
Enough, sir" said Miss Pierce, with
dignity. ''Spare yourself the trouble of
apologizing; it is quite unnecessary, and
altogether useless" And so she left
him.
Surely this WAS an awkward situation
for lover, particularly for Bert, who
had contemplated arranging matrimonial
affairs in such a quiet, well-bred way.
He went home in despair. Could any
woman-even Irene. gentlest, dearest of
-omen-forgive such an insult to her
vanity? If she could only see his heart,
and know how long he had ceased to
regard her as plain, in how many ways
she was even beautiful to him. But to
explain this to her-it was impossible
He could never obtain her pardon. And
her love? That was too far and dear to
dream of.
Private life has its Napoleons, how
ever. They rout impossibilities, and
prove them to be the merest shams. A
week from this dreadful day, Bert was
sitting-very much at home-in the
same parlor whence he had withdrawn
so ignominiously, and Irene looked at
him in way that clearly showed that
she had relinquished her resolution,
and sacrificed her judgment.

To Keep Shaded Places Green.

Especially in the front yards of dwell
ings, both in town and country, which
are much shaded, we often see the
ground completely bare, not a living
thing being perceptible. Sometimes
there are many nearly nude, struggling
limbs lying upon the ground or very
near it, which are unsightly and every
way worthless, that ought to be cut
away. This would give room for the
growing there of scme plant or vine that
would be adapted to it, and which
would not only recover the naked spot
and make it Giving green" but would
be adding very much to the general ap-
pearance of the premises. The best vine
for this purpose is undoubtedly the per-
twinkle. 1t will grow almost anywhere
in the shade if the proper attention is
given to it, but not otherwise. 1t is a
beautiful vine and will densely cover the
ground, producing nearly the whole
season q pretty blue flower. Weeds,
however, are its deadly enemies. 1t can
not fight them. Steadily they will en-
croach until they drive away our favorite
and occupy the field of battle. A little
help now and then, however, will defeat
the common enemy and allow us to en-
joy the cool-looking, popular evergreen
for many years without renewal.

A Railway Tunnel through Volcano.

The rocks which constitute the south
ern island of New Zealand are for the
greatest part of the archaic type, con-
sisting principally of gneiss, granite,
mica-schist, phyllite, quartzite, and fel-
site rocks. They are partly covered by
pal@ozoic strata. which are folded up
into innumerable troughs and saddle
backs throughout the province of Can
terbusy, and which partly belong to the
carboniferous period, so that there are
prospects for future discovery of coal
beds. By far the greatest interest,
however, is offered by the extensive vol
came phenomena of the island, and
among them the extinct volcanoes upon
the Banks peninsula, east OF the town
of Christchurch, are prominent. This
peninsula, now only connected by bands
of low and recent deposits with the main
land, was once complete island, only
formed by volcanoes, which rose up from
the bottom of the sea. The special con-
stru ation of such an extinct volcano has
beennade visible by tunnel of 1920
met length upon the railway between
Chr lxetnrch and Iittleton which has
pierced through the walls OF a volcanic
cone and thus has laid bare its structure
of successive streams of lava and beds
of scorie, ashes, and tufa, which are
again intersected by dikes of younger
volcanic rocks. This is perhaps the
first volcano through which railway
has been constructed.
Another popularity of New Zealand
is the extremely frequent occurrence of
bones of those large wingless birds,
which by the aborigines We're called
''moa," and which belong to the family
of the Dinornithida, of whom the larg-
est representative has reached the con-
siderable height of ten and half feet;
the largest deposits of these bones were
found in the Point cavern and the
marshes of Grenmark. There is now no
doubt that these gigantic birds were
contemporaneous with man, and that an
early human race were moa hunters in
these islands, who lived upon the flesh
of these birds at a time when the glaciers
extended still very much below their
present boundaries, for bones, tools. and
other remnants of these early moa hun
tiers are frequently met intermingle
with bones of the now extinct Dinor-
nithida.
