In these days when society is always ready
to follow new craze, IL Is passing strange
that no one has thought OF taking up tho
study Of the Irish language. Our ears have
been greeted by raspy italian, catarrhal
French and even Russian, Arabic and
Chinese. All these tongues have been studied
by tho enthusiastic young folks, who always
attack new thing as II they would tear the
soul out OF IL by main strength. But ths
soft, liquid tones that are nearer than any
other language extant to the original Celtic,
which you may hear rolling so richly from
the lips Of hundreds of Irish girls in Pittsburg,
Is utterly neglected.
Here is an opportunity. Let Bridget be
brought into tho parlor during the winter
afternoons and evenings. Let her teach her
language to her employers in her own way.
She will probably be unable to give gram
natical rules or to explain from scientific
standpoint why she makes certain sounds to
express certain ideas, but sho will give you
the exact intonation Of the soft gutturals,
rendering them with those peculiar infec-
tions which are nsverperfect save from Irish
lips. II may perhaps be difficult to zee any
commercial use frorn the study Of this Ian
guage, but 1t wsuld surely open up vast
library = ancient lore that has hitherto re-
manned locked In the bosoms of those who,
from lack Of educational advantages, have
been unable TO give It to the world. Pitts

The Cossacks hold an exceptional position
IN the Russian army, and though they havo

usually looked upon more as the allies than

In length, over the entire Asiatic frontier of

Jim Keens looming Up Again.

James n. Keeno Is looming up again asone
OF the leaders in Wall street. Jim Keene has
been a very big man In Wall street in his
time, and If tho reports that hear whispered
under the shadows of the city hall are true,
he will cut a much wider swath in the Wall
street meadow than for any time in his
career. Keene is one of those uneasy, rest

their eye teeth pulled in Wall street. One Of

world Of speculation, and he said 70 him:
sMr. Keene, / have $4,000 Of your privi-
leges. hear that you have been making
money. would like TO have you cash these
privileges"
Mr.. Keene looked at him second, and
then replied In substance that if tho outside
creditors would let him alone he might make
some money. He had not, he said, made
much money lately, because he did not have
tho capital with which to make investments
that no knew would pay.

Milton Mobiles relates this story of Mr..

did Mazeppa, was afraid of horses, and re-

Each night there was big call aud Phelps,

"on the fifth night Of the play the second
rung gave way and McClosky and the horse
disappeared together, amid cracking boards
and timbers. or course there was great ex-
element and the audience began calling to
learn whether Mazeppa was seriously hurt.
After o short pause Phelps swelled out in

blood on his face and hands, and limping dcs-
perately, but smiling a sad, sweet, painful
smile, as though saying, Its nothing, ladies
and gentlemen, O mere scratch, nothing more,

supers were dragging poor McClosky out
from under broken boards, horse, etc. Mac
was badly shaken up, but not seriously hurt.
The audience in front was wildly applauding

"The stage manager, who in the excite

nanrer from pet nnrs.

One of the most noted phys clans has dis
covered new danger that menaces Indies
who keep pet dogs. There is an invisible
worm that rubs of the dogs tongue. These
worms work their way into the flesh Of hui
man beings, and 1t Is extremely dangerous
for dog to lick even lady's hand. This
fact was discovered by one Of our best ply
sicians, and was made public by q gontle-
man VINO is the husband Of one Of the ladies
who has had a nest of dog worms removed.
A wealthy lady residing in Brooklyn had
strange lump growing on her cheek, and
she consulted her family physician. The
doctor informed her that she had nest Of
dog worms imbedded I'm her cheek. He ex-
planned that he had treated number Of
ladies' for the same ailment, and had ope-
rated successfully ON them. The doctor
frankly explained the cause OF his patients

the doctor had said ON his return home that
evening. The disguised man took his re-

Progress Made I'm Railway T4avet--afodern
Improvemente-The Climax.
Gen. Horace Porter, in Scribner's Maga-
zine, has an entertaining article on the prog
ress made In railway passenger travel. There
are some facts In It which win be interesting
to those who now and then have occasion to
use the railway.
Sixty years ago the first locomotive engine
was used upon a railway built for passenger
transportation. At the beginning the loco
motive was not given the monopoly in pull
ing trains, as now. It divided the EhonorS
with the horses, the two forces being used in
changeably. The original passenger car was
good deal, il not wholly. like the old stage
coach. But It was not long before American
progress discarded this old and inconvenient
style and adopted the long car, which Is now
the model on which all passenger cars are
constructed. The public were not at first In
clined to look with favor upon the new style
Of locomotive transportation. The legisIa-
ture of Pennsylvania, especially, opposed the
idea and refused TO grant any railroad char
ters for several years subsequently. The rail-
ways then were not what they are now.
There were no baggagemen up to 1876. Each
traveller at the end Of a journey was required
TO get out his own baggage. The dust nearly
suffocated one, and the sparks from the loco
motives almost put out the eyes of the tray-
elers
The cars were lighted at night by tallow
candles and heated In winter by close box
stoves which transformed car into veri-
table oven. There were no hand brakes, and
the passenger was jolted about In a merciless
manner. In 1851 an improved and efficient
hand brake was adopted. In 1860 the air

Breaking store windows for the purpose of
robbery has been reduced to system Of
which few people arc aware. Il Is o bold
piece OF work and requires man of nerve.
The old method was to smear molasses or
wax on the window pane, cover 1t with paper
and force In the glass. The sticking material
prevented thopieces from falling and making

hle splits the glass. The broken piece Is
quickly pried out without much noise. Some
window smashers carry an iron plate having
a handle like shield on one side and sharp
projecting iron rod on the other. This Is
pushed against the window, breaks In the

secure good grip at tho contents exposed for

The chief beauty Of Mount Desert Island is

peaks gives them bronzed, metallic appear

beauty and grandeur break lovingly upon

China Not orsrnonuIatea.

Most people are under the impression that
China Is an overpopulated country, and that
the constant flow Of emigration is due to
that cause and that alone We are now,
however, told by no loss an authority than
the Marquis Tseng that this Is an entirely
erroneous idea. The emigration, he says,
has been caused by the ruin brought about
by recent rebellions, and not by any difficulty
Of finding subsistence under ordinary condi-
tions. The marquis plan is that the Chinese
government should organize colonization
Of Manchuria, Mongolia and Chinese Turk

country which have never been cultivated,
and where the establishments of q strong pop
uiation would be not only financially but
politically most important. Home journal.
