A Remarkable Career-The Author Of
il Kathleen MavOurneen,"

For the last two years, SAYS the Balti-
more correspondent of the New York
Cypress, there has lived in an out-of-the-
way street in Baltimore a man who, by
his literary and musical abilities, has
rendered his name famous throughout
two continents. He is f. Nicholas
Crouch, the author and composer of
" Kathleen Mavourneen.n He is at
present engaged as a varnisher in a fac
tory near his home, and by this pursuit
he is enabled to support his large fami-
ly. In appearance he has a marked and
expressive countenance, sinewy form
and iron-gray hair. He is apparently
an ordinary mechanic, but the brain
which was once so fertile with ideas can
still conceive thoughts worthy of the
man. His history is interesting because
Of its numerous successes and failures {;
it is peculiar because his talents have
raised him almost to the height of fame
only to bring him eventually to his
present lowly position. Mr.. Crouch
was born in England on the Slstof .Tuly.
1903. He comes of very good family.
the members of which had often distin-
guished themselves in the various nro-
LESSONS. From an early age Mr.. Crouch
had eyinced a love of music, and AZ nine
years OF age played bass-viol at the ROYAL
Coburg Theater in London. From this
starting point he worked himself into
His Majesty's Theater" and PLAYED a
solo on the violoncello before Rossini.
Bockra, then in the zenith of his glory,
was conductor of the opera, and was SO
pleased with the boy's devotion to his
profession that he made him his pupil.
at the age OF twenty, strong indications
OF vocal excellence manifested them
selves and Bockra transferred his nnpil
to William Halves, master of Sc.
Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Ab.

Cinnamon FIocking to Australia.

Within the last fortnight upward OF
1000 Chinese have arrived, and there is
now very large number afoat en- route
from Hong Kong to this colony. The
Chinese who are here explain that the
exodus from the home country is occa-
stoned by the great depression which
exists there. The newcomers are
ignorant people, who are unable
to either read or write. 1t is
only by great self denial that they
are, able to scrape together enough
money (about Is, we believe,) to pay
for their passage, and the great part OF
them. are almost penniless when they
land here. Some of the Chinese mer-
chants in Sydney believe that before
the YEAR is out 10000 Chinese will land
at this port unless some check can be
put upon the inflow. Instead OF
being, as many people think, a
source of profit to the Chinese en-
ployers of labor here, the Immigrants
prove a serious burden, for they have to
be housed and fed until they can be sent
or forced to 90 into the country. The
majority of Chinese merchants and resi-
dents in Sydney are averse to the whole.

joying picnic on an Island few miles
east of Accomac Court House, Va, his
niece, Miss Cornelia Bradley, with three
other ladies, left the balance of the party

alone, and declined the offer of a gentle.
man to accompany them. They select.

Miss Bradley, going beyond her depth,
was swept off into the ocean by strong

high breakers. 1t was quite time be-
fore the other three ladies, being at a
distance, could give the alarm to the
balance of the party. When they did SO

A Wise Coon.


Did you ever see q raccoon? l am
going to tell you about one that was
sent from the South as a present to
lady whose name was isabella. He was
called Zip Coon, and q very wise coon
he was. ..... ....., .....,.
Zip had long, low body, covered
with stiff yellowish hair His nose was
pointed, and his eyes were bright as
buttons. His paws were regular little
hands, and he used them Just like
hands.
He was very tame. He Would climb
up on Isabella chair and scramble to
her shoulder. Then he-would comb he
hair with his fingers, pick at her ear
rings and feel of her collar and pin and
buttons.
Isabella's mother was quite ill., @
sometimes was able to sit in her chair
and eat her dinner from tray Oh heI
lap. She liked to have Zip in heyOOm.
but, if left alone with her Zip would
jump up in the chair behind her and
try to crowd her off He would reach
around. too, under her arm and steal
things from her tray.
Once the cook in the Kitchen heard
brisk rafting OF tin-pans in the pantry
She opened the door, and there, on a
shelf, was Zip. There were two pans
standing side by side. One had Indian
meal in it, and the other nice sweet
milk. In front of the pans stoodZippy
He had scooped the meal from one
pan into the milk in the other pan, and
was stirring up pudding with all his
might He looked over his shoulder
when he heard the cook coming up be-
hind him, and worked away all The
faster, as if to get the pudding done be-
fore he was snatched up and put out Of
the pantry. afs
I III was very neat and clean. be
loved to have q bowl of water and
piece of soap set down for his own use
He would take the soap in his hands
dip it into the water and rub it between
his palms; then he would reach all
around his body and wash himself. II
was very funny to see him reach way
around and wash his back.
One day Isabella, not feeling well
was lying on her bed. Zippy was play
ing around her in his usual way Pretty
soon he ran under the bed, and was
busy long while reaching up and pun,
ing and picking at the Stats over hs
head. By and by he crawled out; ana
what do you think he had between hi
teeth? A pretty little red coral ear
ring that Isabella had lost several ween
before. lips bright eyes had spied,
as he was playing around under 'ns
bed. So you see Zip Coon did sO~
good that time. -..s.. ..-... l,

cross and snappish, that he had 70

The APPEAL has as yet INDUCED in
no disparaging comments on the revision
of the New Testament We went to
college some years ago and studied the
dead languages, but if the truth must
be known, failed to pass under the
wire as the class came down the edu-
cational homestretch, and the judges
shut us out winded and badly dis.
tanced horse. With a recollection of
these facts still green in our memory,
we do not consider ourselves qualified to
rise up and say that thirty-eight picked
scholars of two continents have applied
themselves for ten years to the task of
revising the New Testament and made
a failure of it. Yet we notice with
some surprise that good many of our
brother editors have been able to pick
the work to pieces within twenty four
hours after getting a copy of it.

many how the iron ball inside of
sleigh bells got there, and it is said
to have taken considerable thought |
on the part of the discoverer before the
idea struck him. In making sleigh |
bells the iron ball is put inside a sand |
core, just the shape of the inside of the
bell. Then a mold is made just the shape
of the outside of the bell. This sand
core with the jinglet inside, is placed
in the mold Of the outside, and melted
metal is poured in, which fills up the
space between the core and mold. The
hot metal burns the core so that it can
be all shaken out, leaving the ball with
in the shell. Ball valves, swivel joints
and many other articles are cast in the
same manner.
