A NEW INDUSTRY FOR IRELAND.

We frequently hear that the great want of Ireland is increased employ ment for her people, and that, if we would make her peaceful we must make her prosperous. This is undoubtedly true, for, whenever there is lack of employment there is poverty and want, and discontent and anarchy are as sure to follow as the night follows the day, In order to increase employment in Ireland, permit us to suggest to capital ists the manufacture of farina or potato starch Ireland is land of potatoes, water is abundant and labor is plentiful and cheap, and why, therefore, are we importing farina to the extent of 30 ,OOO tons per annum from Germany and lIol- land? Surely it is worth an effort to get hold of this business, and it strikes us that all that is required for Irishmen to get monopoly of the trade is energy and enterprise. The process of manu' facture is simple and inexpensive, no very costly buildings or machinery be- ing necessary, but an abundant supply of pure water and potatoes rich in starch being necessary for the success of the undertaking. Possibly the experiment may have been tried and failed, but we cannot see why success should not fol- low vigorous trial, especially when we remember that Scotland is manufactur- ing annually d few thousand tons of the best farina that comes into the market. We are aware that the growth of pota- toes in Germany is enormously in excess of the production of the United King dom. The Germans must obtain profit out of what they produce or so much would not be grown. Cannot lrishmen, then, compete with them in this field? It has been the boast of Englishmen that one Englishman is equal to two or more foreigners in the field of battle or the commercial field; but, looking at agricultural returns, it would almost seem that the English are beaten.

A MEXICAN KITCHEN.

\ Mexican kitchen is study, and to do it and all it's queer utensils justice would require columns space. There are no stoves, or even anything like the fire places of our great-grandmother's days. One side of the room is occupied by a sort of shelf built into the wall, about breast high, in the centre of which a little heap of wood is kept burning, and around it the earthen cooking-pots arc arranged. If the family is small, this exceedingly smoky process is i'm proved upon by building charcoal fire in large earthen pot, and putting the smaller cooking vessels within it. some houses have mud oven at the end of this shelf, or built somewhere out of doors, inside of which fire must be made to heat it; but an oven is generally quite unnecessary, as baked things enter not into the household economy. In the center of the kitchen stands the metate for tortilla making hollowed stone the size of an or dnary bread-bowl, The cook kneels upon the dirt floor at one end of the metate, and, the corn having previous ly been slightly boiled, crushes it into paste with stone rolling-pin. When | quantity has been thus crushed it is rolled into balls and left until required. It s surprising what an amount of corn family of ordinary size will consume in day in the form of tortillas-the Mexican "staff of life" When meal
 is on the tapis, the last thing, after everything else is cooked, is to heat grid dle or smooth slate stone then the cook takes little of the prepared corn paste at once, and with cold water and much loud skipping of the hands, forms them into thin round cakes and bakes them in jiffy, As substitute for bread one might go a great deal further and fare worse than subslst on tortillas,

TALL STORIES TOLD BY A HOsTLER WHO

"Ges," said the reformed hostler, "I had horse once that jumped over 200 feet on a straight road"
 "llid he make it in one jump 9" said the converted mule driver.
 "Ies, he made it in one jump," said the reformed hostler," and he'd a jumped thousand feet if they'd been there, as them was---pickled pigs feet in a barrel"
 "I drove a horse once,' said the honest stage driver, 'that jumped through wall four feet thick"
 "Did it hurt the wall any," said the reformed hostler, insinuatingly.
 "No," said the honest stage driver, fiercely, "but it killed the horse."
 Talking of horse jumping" said the reformed hostler, i've had horse that jumped every fence on the farm, and wound up by trying to jump over his own tail"
 "Did he do it?" said the converted mule'driver, breathlessly.
 "No, he didn't" said the reformed hostler, calmly.

INDIAN GIRLS.

In certain parts of India a great num- Der of girls are still murdered immedi- ately after their birth and indeed this horrible custom is found not only among poor families, but in rich and very no- ble houses The wife of an Indian ra- jah had had five daughters, and all i'm mediately after birth, at the fathers command, and in conformity to custom, were put to death. At length the moth- CTS love prompted her to lay some plan by which the next might he preserved, and accordingly, with the help of q trusty servant, the sixth child, also a girl, was secretly rescued. The father gave the usual bloody order, but, without his knowledge, it was not fulfilled, and the child was reared in secret. True, the mother never dared to see it, for fear of betraying it, and she died with ont ever having tasted the mothers in ward joy of pressing her child but once tO her bosom.
 In India the girls are remarkable for their beauty. Their eyes are black and brilliant, their features soft and full of expression. This maiden, too, grew up to the full measure of youthful beauty, and her nurse and relatives believed that they might now boldly present her to her father; il they could not rely on the fathers heart, yet her beautiful in nocence, they thought, would secure her life; the more so, as she was the perfect image of her deceased mother, A favorable moment was chosen to in- toduce to the father his child. Richly attired, she approached the astonished chief, fell down at his feet and exclaimed, "My father" And the father? For Il moment love struggled in his bosom with his usual proud, hard feelings, but he drew his sword from his sheath, and with blow struck off the head of his lovely child

LEGAL HUMORS.

Years ago, when the Illinois Legisla- ture was not in as high repute as it is now, man was convicted in tha. State of highway robbery. The judge, named Davis, was what Dr. Johnson would have called "hearty hater" of thieves. In passing sentence upon the prisoner, he began by reminding him that, though he was young man of natural endow- ments sufficient to make him repu- table member of society, yet he had been guilty of most wicked crime. In uttering this scathing prelude to the sentence, the judge got so warmed mp that when he came to close he somewhat mixed the State institutions.
 "Prisoner at the bar," he said, "I shall sentence you to seven years in the Illinois Legislature ~
 "The penitentiary, your honor" sug- gested the prosecuting attorney.
 "Seven years in the penitehtiary, " said the judge, correcting himself, and at the same time muttering, "but for the life of me cant see but slight difference between the two."
 Judge Purple of Peo.ia was an able jurist but he had eccentric ideas of what "doing well'' at the Illinois bar meant. While visiting Washington the judge was asked by Boston man as to the success of young lawyer who had gone West some years before.
 "TIe is doing we'll" said the judge.
 "ile is? well, Pm glad to hear it, ;" continued the gentleman; ''you think he has good practice and is making money"
 "I don't know anything about his practice or his business, but he is doing we'll"
 "How is that, judge? You say you don't know anything about his practice or his business, yet you think he is doing we'll"
 "I mean just this," said the judge, 'that any man who practises law here five years and keeps out of the peniten- tiary is doing well, whether he has much practice or not"

THE OLD TIMER,

The old-time political editor who was once such a power in the land is out of situation. The loss of his power was not sudden fall, but q gradual wasting away. He gave up his place of importance reluctantly, for when the proprietor of the paper went in and told him that his services were no longer re- ouired, he looked up in dazed sort of way, as though he did not understand. "You have been with the paper long time," the proprietor says, "and have done much effective work, but your style of composition is no longer pop ular. You are man of learning, l know, and can sling Latin with classic flourish, and call an opponent out to fight with q graceful translation from the original Greek, but we don't want any more of that kind of business. If any fighting is to be done after this, the horsewhip instead of the hair-triggered derringer will be employed That young fellow over there will take your place. know that he hasn't much learning and don't believe he ever had profound thought but he has way of saying things in pointed manner He runs over the news of the day with lamb-like friskiness and leaves lively tracks that take with the people. He cannot whip poltcan into line, but he can shoot paragraphs at him until he drops in or out as the case may be. hate to see you totter away, know
 ing that you came in with such firm tread, but your style is too antiquated for newspaper of to-day You, al- though old, are now eminently qualified for more serious writing, and l advise you to take charge of the humorous department of magazine. There your time-honored sprightliness and oc- togenarian appreciation of | joke will find its merited reward. You have sue ceeded for many years in keeping the young men down, and the public has assisted you, but some of the young fellows have started paper and are making such inroads on our circulation and advertising patronage that We are compelled to adopt their style"
 The old fellow makes no reply, but totters away. He feels that the news paper world has had its day. He talks to his old.time friends, and they agree with him, but the paper goes up with wonderful rapidity after his weight is taken from it. Poor old fellow The magazine is his only hold.

A NOTORIOUS ITALIAN BRIGAND IN

Peter Notolo d child of sunny Italy faced Mayor Ewing frown with q bland Tuscan smile and presented papers re- questing the Mayor 10 trim down the fine imposed on him for lingering too long with his banana cart at one spot on Franklin avenue.
 "You want me to remit this fine ?" asked the Mayor.
 Peter fidgeted and smiled with his m remittent Neapolitan smile.
 "Don't you speak English ?'' said the Mayor in an I havn't- t-got-any-time-to spare manner.
 "No speak a-Inglis," Notolo mur- mured.
 Martin, talk Italian to this fellow will you?"
 The Mayor waited while his interpret. CT, Martin Heffernan, tried to bluff tine Italian; "Say, Cul," said Martin, "ain't you a notorious desperado?"
 The Italian bowed and smiled.
 "That's what l thought. Ain't you the fellow all the police are afraid of? Amt you the man who chewed up a newsboy the other day. Didn't you put one of your bananas on the track and throw street car off? Havn't you been a bandit all your life?"
 Peter bowed his assent to every ques- tion, and smiled to add emphasis to it. The Mayor told Martin to give Peter a remittance of his fine. Martin agreed to this reluctantly, and before it was handed over the red-cheeked page made the Italian promise to send him four bananas day for week.-[St. Louis.
