The Irish Alphabet.

Our alphabet came directly to us from
the Irish missionaries and professors of
religion and wisdom, who taught Christi
anity to the heather Angles, Saxons,
Jutes, Cloths, Germans, Danes, and
Swedes several centuries after the death
of our Lord. Instead of using the Latin
names for the letters taken from the
Christian Romans they gave them names
of their own. Their wise and pious
men had been members, or were the
pupils, Of class of learned heathens
called the Druids. In ancient Ireland a
d''ui was prophet, priest, doctor and magi-
clan, and the name seems to be connected
with our word tree. 1t was against the
rule of the Druids to write things down.
They were in the habit of retiring to the
deepest woods for meditation and study,
sometimes attended by pupils. That is
probably the reason why the Irish
among whom the Druids retained thei
power the longest-because Ireland wa
the hardest to reach of all great island

Why the Irish like Green.

St. NlCuOldS.
Some old Greek traditions tell how
Kadmus, mighty leader and very wise
man in all the arts and science, came over
from Asia and taught the Beotians
letters. In Phenician the word Kadmus
means the eastman, while the word
Europe, which gradually was applied
to vast extent of land, continent,
at first belonged only to the land just
across from the island of Eubea, on the
other side of the marry strait called Eu-
ripus, and means in Phoenician the west
land. So when you read of Kadmus
coming to Europe it is the eastman
coming to the west-land. Over and
over again in history we find names,
to which all sorts Of fanciful
derivations have been given and beautiful
legends and myths have been attached,
turning out to be the simplest kind of
words. Thus, Ireland also means the
west-land, and it comes from the Celtic
word Jar and our word land iar meaning
the west. lar, before being used to de-
note the west, meant the back, and that
fact let's us into an important secret con-
corning the religion of the Celts who first
came over the Irish sea to the Emerald
island. It tells us that those early men
named the points of the compass according
to the other directions when the observer
faced toward the east. So the east was
named from front, or forward, the west
from back or behind, the north from left
hand, and the south from right hand.
That means that the early Celts worship
ed the dawn and the sunrise. And so
faithfully have the old traditions remain
ed in mems minds in that big western
island of the British empire that, to this
day, the emblem OH the coat of arms of
Ireland is a sunburst, or rising sun.
Another curious thing is that it is
more than probable that the Irish pre-
ference of the color green, for their flag
and their ashes, arose from a mistake
among those who had lost a thorough
knowledge of the Irish language. The
sun, in Irish, is called by a word pro-
nounced like our word "green," and is
likely that the Irish fondness for that
color arose from the words exact likeness
in sound to their word for the sun. In
same way, when we talk about green
houses, we think they are called so be-
cause the plants are kept green in them
during the winter. Yet it is far more
probable that "green" here is the Irish
word meaning, not the color, but the sun;
because greenhouses are built SO as to
catch the SUMS rays and store them up
while it is hidden by clouds, as happens
more than half the time in showery Ire

OF beams are produced on the same
ground In the same season. Some a.
the beams raised in Japan are adapted q
low and damp ground and others to that
which is high and dry. Some grow in
bush form and others cling to supports.
In Japan, as in China, beans generally
take the place of meat as articles of h1-
man food. They are also fed to fowls.
animals, and fish kept in artificial ponds
It is the opinion of persons who have
visited these countries that the vast pop
ulation could not be supported If beans
were not generally raised and eaten
Beans are held in high regard in various
portions of Africa and South America,
where there is deficient rainfall to in
sure the production of Indian corn and
the common kinds of small grain.
According to the agricultural returns
OF the various counties of England, pub
lished last year, forty bushels of beans
per acre was the average crop in several
localities. Some farmers succeeded in
raising as high as sixty bushels to the
acre. The late Aid. Mechi, who advocated
raising beans for feeding to horses, sheep,
and pigs, raised seventy bushels to the
acre. He attaches high value to the
foliage and chat for feeding to sheep.
The beans that are raised in Great
Britain and Ireland for stock purposes
appear to De unknown in this country,
but careful tests should be made. Beans
are very rich in vegetable albumen,
which produces muscle or lean meat.
The complaint is general that our pork.
beef, and mutton are too fat, and the rea-
son assigned is that corn is used almost
exclusively in preparing cattle, sheep
and hogs for the butcher. A food that
will produce less fat and larger pro-
portion of lean meat is greatly to be de-
sired. The composition of beans shows
that they would answer the purpose bet
ter than any article of food that can be
produced.

After Twenty-one Years.

Mrs. Jennie Kelley is the wife Of Mar
shall Kelley, well-known citizen Of the
"Kelley" neighborhood, so called in this
town, writes Harwich, Mass, CORE
spondent of the Boston Globe. Twenty
one years ago, when Mrs. Kelley, whose
parents name was Boardman, was an in
FAINT, and her brother, Francis Norris
Boardman, Isora, Cal, was 8 years old,
her parents for some unknown cause
separated, and the children were given
away. The babe Jennie was placed with
family named Green, and became
known as Jennie +. Green. The boy
wss sent to an uncle in Sudbury, Mass,
and resided with them until he reached
his 18th year, when he went west into
the mining region, and all traces Of him
were lost. The girl Jennie was after
wards sent to an orphan asylum in Bos-
ton, and grew up in entire ignorance of
the fact that she had ever had brother.
She was taken from the asylum by a
worthy family in Eastman, who cared
for her until she was old enough to pro-
vide for herself. She was engaged as a
housekeeper by Marshal Kelley, Of this
place, and as result of their being
thrown frequently into each others So
cietv their intimacy ripened into ten
derer feeling, and they were subsequent
ly married. The worthy couple were
very happy in their new relations, and
as fruit Of the union two pretty children
now grace their home.
A few days since fine-looking, we'll
dressed young man stepped off of the
train at Harwich, and inquired for the
residence of Mr.. Kelley. His rap at the
door was answered by Mrs. Kelley in
person. Noticing striking resemblance
to himself in the features of the lady, he
made several inquiries with reference to
her maiden name and history. To his
inquiries she replied that her maiden
name was Green, but added that she had
several times been informed that it was
Boardman.
"Did you have brother?" inquired
the stranger.
'No, sir; I was the only child"
After further inquiries into the early
family history, the young man furnished
her convincing proof that she did have
brother who was three years older than
she was, and that he was that brother.
The story told by the young man,
whose name is Francis N. Boardman, is
that he had come from California to find
his long lost sister. For months he has
been searching for bis sister, following
her from one place to another until he
finally located her at Eastman. Upon
visiting that place he learned that she
was residing there. After remaining with
his sister few days he left for trip to
Boston and New York, but will return
before leaving for his home in California.
He is DESTROYS that his sister shall visit
his western home with him.

Value of Beans.

In most parts of this country beans
re nknown as field crop. Farmers
who have good gardens raise Lima,
''snap," string, and perhaps other kinds
of beans, which are used for cooking
while they are in green or immature
state. Comparatively few western
farmers raise each year sufficient guam
t;ty of the common navy or white mar
row beans for the supply of their famil-
les. These are soaked parboiled, and
baked with pork. Baked beans consti-
tute one of the most common articles of
food in the New England states, but
they are almost entirely unknown in the
south and the extreme western states and
territories. Few of our people who were
born in European countries ever eat
beans cooked yankee fashion," though
many stew them and use them for MAX
ing soup. Many who are accustomed to
eat beans at home forego the use of them
here because the varieties they preferred
are not in cultivation in this country
Persons who formerly resided in Sweden,
Itrly, Austria, and France often speak
Of the excellent beans they had in their old
homes, but none of them appear to have
interested themselves in bringing the
seed to this country. Apparently little
interest has been shown in the introduce
ton and acclimation of foreign varieties
of beans.
Very few western farmers regard beans
as profitable crop to raise for the mar
ket. Most of the beans for supplying
city markets are raised in New York or
the New England states. That the west
possesses many advantages over the east
for raising beans seems evident. Beans
do best on land that is free from weeds
and which is productive without the ap-
plication of stable manure. It costs no
more to send bushel of beans to dis
tant market than it does to send bush
ell of corn, and the price Of the former is
three or four times that of the latter
Beans are worthy the attention of small
farmers who have not the means to pur-
chase expensive machinery such as is
needed for raising and harvesting corn
and wheat. A drill and one-horse cult
vator are the most costly implements that
are required in planting and cultivating
field beans. They can be pulled by
hand or cut with common scythe and
thrashed with band fail The crop re-
quires no large amount Of labor. The
hoe or cultivator should not be used
among beans when they are wet by rain
or dew, as disturbing the vines at such
times is liable to make them rust Beans,|
should not be planted till danger from
frost is over, and the vines, when pulled,
must be protected from the rain.

A RIVAL of tn g Telephone.

A correspondent of the New York
Graphic, writing from Washington says
Professor Alexander Graham Bell and his
cousin, DR.. Chichester Bell, have re-
Gently made very remarkable discovery
which they think is quite as important
as the transmission of the tones OF the
human voice through the telephone.
They have discovered that falling jet
of water or a fame of gas burning in a
room reproduces every word spoken and
every sound uttered within given dis
lance. When two people join in CONVEX
sation in room in the evening the gas
which burns above their heads repeats
every word they say, and sounds uttered
in the vicinity of flowing water produce
vibrations.
To areporter of local paper Professor
Bell showed glass disc, npon which ap-
peared spiral streak composed of tiny
little shade lines placed together or
farther apart to make up the variation of
intensity. The surface was one of de-
preston and elevation. This, Professor
Bell said, represented sound waves.
When the plate was revolved upon a
pivot and the depressions and elevations
conveyed to the ear by a microphone
there was repetition of the conversation
then recorded as distinct as when it was
delivered. The undulate surface repre-
senting sound waves was produced by
photography. Professor Bell says that
if any one will go to a water-pipe and
turn on the faucet SO that the water will
fall in stream to tire ground, that water
can be made to report the conversation
taking place in its presence, anda stream
register every sound within hearing of
it.
Professor Bell considers this discovery
quite as important as that of the tele-
phone, and his cousin, Chichester Bell,
has gone to Europe for the purpose of
bringing it before scientific men in Eng
land and on the continent. Patents
have already been obtained in all the
principal countries of both continents
The great object of the inventors was to
record by photography or otherwise the
vibrations in the jet Of water which cor
respond to sound waves; the result Of
words spoken in the vicinity; to keep the
voice on record, bottled up as it were,
for any length Of time, and then, when
called upon, to let the record speak.
