The MACS AND o,s.
What the Syllables as Prefixes to 1
Names Literally Mean.
There is a popular rhyme:

True lrlshnen, Jney say;
F'ori they lack
Both o. and Nc
No Irishmen are they"
Id est: -
''Per Mac atQue o, III veros cognoscis Hib,na
Hip duobus demptis, nullus Hibernus adest1
What do Mac and o. as prefxes /.
Irish names literally mean?
Answer. Authority: Lowers 'ht
ronymica Britannica. MAC, Nil
known prefix of surnames of Cd.
origin, signifying "son Of" and thse
fore cognate with the APP of Welshh,
Fitz of Anglo-Norman, and the so q
English use. In England and %,
countries OF Europe the great Std
of family names is derived from axs
ritorial source, but among the Gel
Scotland, Ireland, and Wales theE
name was almost uniformly that afae
father or some ancestor with apyfx.
60" This is a very common teix
to Irish surnames, and is tho Cele ma,
grandson, descendant. In hglai and
other European countries the mob and
wealthy generally borrowed their
family names from their landedosses-
sions, but in Ireland the names septs
or tribes were uniformly proved
from those of their ancient chfs and
ancestors. The famous KIM Brian
Boru, who fell at the battle oClontar
in 1014. published an edict lat the
descendants of the heads of tbes and
families then in power shdd take
name from them, either fronhe faith
ers or grandfathers, and TT those
names should become heretary and
fixed forever. In some instaes, how
ever, families who boosted GA dlstln-
puished ancestor of earle, date as
Sumed his name rather thannat OF the
grandfather or father. - 'SsT'ys' =
o., or rather Oy, was ud in the
sense of grandson by the Scottish High
landers; thus we read of. very Ole
lady of Gaelic race who,Argus-like
could boast of 100 "Oyes." ''''
The Galwegians, who plded them
selves upon not being Irismen, ISSUED
an order in 1913 prohibitig the NATIVE
septs from entering their Dwn, dec!ar
ing that ''neither O. ne Mac shoult
strut ne swagger througi the street
of Galway" 4ai
A regular error preyaib in lrelaSq
that while the Mac conveys no motpil
of high birth the o. is a mark OF g91
family. In the province of Connauih'
the o notifies the gentleman; ne
O'Connors, the O'Flahertys, and ne
O'Malleys are somebodies, while ing
distant kinsmen, the Connors, q
Flahertys and the Malleys are nobodss
Much the same notion prevails id
France concerning the prefix de. Id
Ireland the o. is never preixed to on
name derived from trade, with the M
gle exception OF O'Gowan, which il
to our Smithson.
In O'Brien's '.Irish Dictionary il
gives:
MAC, a son. 1t is sole-
times used for the young of brutes. y
1t is prefxed to the nam,oi
several of the great families Of le-
land"
There is another word, an adjectiie,
which means clean, pure, etc. Ola
proposition, meaning from. and is aed
in connection with names to dente
the place from which a person or fam
lily comes, or descent from a particuar
as O'Nel, which would NJ
dictate descent from the o Neil family,
and O'Brien means the direct desceh-
ants of Brian Boirbhe.
On the other hand O'Caslaen meas

county of Cork.-Chicago Mail.

If you go to n changer he will give
you Ave francs in French money, or
four shillings in English for dollar.
But in America you are not long in
discovering that you get for your dol
lar but the worth of a shilling in Eng
lish money, or franc in French.
The fat that lets for 1000 francs in
Paris, and the house that is rented at
f200, or 1000 shillings in London,
would be charged $4,000 in New York.
Boston or Chicago.
The simplest kind of dress, one for
which Partisan of modest tastes pays
100 francs, would cost an American
lady at least 800. A visiting dress
costing 500 francs in Paris would cost
$500 in New York. A bonnet that
would be charged so francs is worth
$50. The rest to match.
Here is dressmaker's bill which
fell under my eyes in New York:

Black silk dress. Observation-Disclosures. 24O

Total. So, oaS
In this bill there is neither mantle,
linen, boots, shoes, gloves, lace nor the
thousand little requisites of woman's
toilet, and it is but one out of the three
or four bills for the year. l am con-
WINGED that an American woman, who
pretends to the least elegance, must
spend, if she be good manager, from
$4,000 to $4,000 year. Add to- this
the fact that she loads herself with
diamonds and precious stones. But
these, Of course, have not to be re-
newed every three months.
A great number of Americans come
to Europe to pass three months of
every year. This is not an additional
extravaganza, it is an economy. They
buy their dress for year, and the
money they save by this plan not only
pays their travelling expenses but
! leaves them nice little surplus in
cash.

Throughout the country there is a
general demand on the part Of thought
full patriots that additional safeguards
be provided to protect the right of
free untrammeled Suffrage-to protect
the ballot against intimidation and
bribery. The most popular remedy
yet proposed is what is called the Aus
tralian system of voting. and measures
founded upon its principles are now
before a number of state legislatures.
This system is briefly described as fol-
lows:
''Thc state furnishes the ballot, and
as the voter enters the polling place he
receives the official ballot from the
hands of an election officer. On the
back is endorsed or stamped the name
Of an official designated in the law,
which shows the ballot to be official. -
On the face is printed the names of
all the candidates for each office, with
a designation of the respective polite
al parties. The voter, having received
the ballot, enters ii private apartment,
where removed from observation, he
can select the names and prepare his
ballot as he desires TO vote. After
preparing his ballot without let or
hindrance, he deposits it in 4 box "
and passes out at another door. From
the time he receives the ballot to the
time he deposits it he is not permitted
to have any conversation with any one
except the election officers. If the
voter cannot read, lac can call to his
aid officers appointed and sworn for
that purpose. Every ballot received
must be printed at public expense.
This system enables the timid voter to
east his ballot as he chooses, and no
one but himself knows how he has
voted. This method has been in prac-
ticc in England, scotland and Canada,
but originated III Australia"
