WHY Irish Like Green,

June Century: The early Celts wor-
shipped the Dawn and the Sunrise. 1t
is more than probable that the Irish
preference of the color green, for their
flag and sashes, arose from n mistake
among those who had ost a knowledge
of the old Irish language. The sun, in
Irish, is called by word pronounced
like our word green" and it is likely
that the Irish fOLdness for that color
arose from the words exact likeness in
sound to their word sun. In the same
way, when we talk about greenhouses,
we think they are called so because the
plants are kept green in them during
the winter. Yet it is far more than
probable that green" here, is the Irish
word meaning, not the color, but the
sun; because greenhouses are built so
as 10 catch the suns rays and store
them up while it is hidden by clouds,
as happens more than half the time in
shOwerv Ireland.

looks very suspicious, but we are not
certain. On being reminded that
this was not verdict, the worthy man
observed: well, / don't think she is
guilty, myself" Asked further whether
the rest of the jury were or We're not of
that opinion, he replied well, you
see, part of us be and a part of us
bean't." The jury were ordered to re-
tire again, and fortunately for the pris-
oner the foreman was able to bring
round the dissentients to his own way
of thinking. and after some delay an
nounced that all the jury were now I'M
animously of opinion that the woman
was innocent. 1t would be curious To
know the methods employed, but PROB
ably the majesty of England's laws
was enforced by the tossing up of

The Art OfRrOWu.

At Cleveland the other day the artist
j. G. Brown was witness IN a suit at
law. After he had given his testimony
the artist was somewhat astonished to
hear the Judge inquired il matter of
fact way. as ifhe were taking up the
examination where the counsel had
left it: "Are you the Mr.. Brown who
paints the pictures of street gamins?'
MIR. Brown bowed assent.
well continued the Judge, there
is something | have long wanted to
know | have noticed that your boys
have phenomenally dirty clothes and
phenomenally clean faces. which is
contrary to my experience, and want
TO ask you why you represent them so.
oh, said the artist, 1.-The answer to
that is easy. | cannot sell pictures of
boys with dirty faces: folks won't have
them, and you know 1 must sell my
pictures.

Pretty Mrs. Chung Sing.

When the Santa Re train came to a
halt at the Union Depot, Kansas City,
the other evening, an unpreposessing
Chinaman stepped out of the sleeping
car. He was followed by another
equally homely Celestial, and then
came the daintiest little Chinese lady
ever seen east OF the Rocky Mountains.
She was attired in a loose robe of sky
Hue silk and the only ornament to her
head was a fine growth of glossy black
hair, which was was combed straight
back from a low foreheadand
tied in a knot behind. Surrounding
the latter was a garland of artificial
flowers of various hues. Her feet, un-
like those of most Chinese bellies, were
not iniinitesimal. Her complexion was
several shades lighter than that of her
companions, and had it not been for
the almond ewes her face would have
been decidedly pretty.
The lady was Mrs Chung Sing. wife
of DR. Chung Sing. one of her
companions. The other was her father.
Chung Sing is a Chinese doctor, who
has moved to Kansas City from Colo
RADIO. HIS last field of labor was Pue-
bio, and it was while there that he ac-
quired his wife. 1t was done in truly
Chinese fashion. Chung Sing paid the
lady's father 81 900 for her, besides
sending $500 for their travelling eXpen-
ses from San Francisco. The ceremony,
which was deeply impressive. wound
up with big banquet at the Grand Pa
cific in Pueblo, AT which seventy-live
plates were spread.

Clara Morris mother, writes Celia
Logan, was a cook in a restaurant in
Cleveland when Clara was a lanky girl
OF fifteen years of age. Manager john
Ellsler advertised for some extra girls

in the extra ballet. She wore an old
faded calico dress, much too short for
her long legs, thin shawl, and rag
g'sd WOODEN scarf wrapped around her
head. When the extra girls were no
longer required Clara was retained for
small parts. That was the beginning
of the career Of the great emotional
actress, Clara Morris, who. by the way,
