Irish IsaEue Meeting Postponed.
President John Fitzgerald, of the Irish
National League of America, has issued a
circular postponing the meeting of the
league which has been called July 9th at
Philadelphia. This was done on the
cablcd adxice of Mr.. Parnell that such ac-
ton be taken. The postponement is un-
til after the ending Of the present session
of the British parliament. Upon receipt
of ! 'arnell's advice the members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the league we 9
wired his wishes. 1lrirty-three delegates,
including the officers, replied favoring a
compliance. and three opposing it, and
three could not be reached. Parnell's
c%ablegram was in answer to one from
Fitzgerald to Vim. O'Brien urging repre-
senta ION at Philadelphia from across the
water and skiing particularly for the pres
ence of O1srien and some Protestant ma
ton Hist. President Fitzgerald points out
that Il similar ~postponement Of the Chi

Parnell's advice, owing to the difficulty of
spniing suitable representatives. Mr..
Fitzgerald adds that sany statement that
the ~postponement is in any manner con

Porterhouse Steak Lore.

Porterhouse steak has an American,
and not, as many people surmise, an Eng
lish origin. There was in New York
city, in 1914, porter house, where
lunch as well as liquors was served. A
hungry pilot entered the door and asked
for beefsteak. Perchance the proprie-
tor had only in his larder at that hour, in
the way of beef, sirloin roasting beef
for the family dinner, so he cut off por-
tion of this roast and had it served to the
customer. Instead of expressing any dis
satisfaction, the pilot, after devouring it,
cried out, tsMessmate, another steak Just
like that with the request that in future
all his steaks should be cut from roast
ing piece. The pilot also told his COM
panions of his feast, and so many were
the demands made for similar steaks that
the landlord ordered his butcher to cut
his sirloin roasts into steaks, and this
meat was hereafter designated by the
butcher and his assistants as tsthe porter
house steaks" The name thus given by
the famished seaman was the commence
ment Of the term established all over this
country for certain cut Of beef. Chic

NYE's JOKE ON HIS HOST.

Bill Nye, in which the leading dish was
large pompano, brought by rail from
New Orleans. Through some mistake the
ice gave out on the journey and the fish
arrived in New York in very bad condi-
tion. The cook was a stranger to the
Southern delicscy, and imagining that il
was a game fish in both senses, cooked
and served it. Each guest took one bite
and became horribly silent. Carlton,
who had not tasted it, asked the COM
pany:

on herea" intending probably to explain
the refrigerator service between the gulf
and the metropolis.

Mr.. Griffin, the English statistician,
has concluded an exhaustive report on
the progress of the sugar trade. Be.
tween 1885 and 1857 the production
of cane sugar increased from 1888, ,000
tons to 1854 900 tons annually, beet su.
gar increasing during the same period
from 100, 900 to 2,4S3, 900 tons, The
total increase of all kinds during the
period named was 3,764, 900 tons. OF
this vast quantity the United States takes
1900, 900 tons, or 20 per cent. and the
United Kingdom 1,1OO, 900 tons, or q
per cent. These two countries consume
half the worlds production. All the
European continental countries take but
36 per cent. of the whole; the rest Of the
world, exclusive of England and America,
take but IA per cent. The consump-
ton of Great Britain and Ireland is 73
pounds a head of the population, the
largest per capita in the world. The
price of raw sugar has fallen enormously

THE wIND-AoRoss THE WHEAT.


-
You ash me for the sweetest sound mine ears
have ever heard'
A sweeter than the ripples' pIash, or triIling
Of a bird,
Than tapping Of the rain drops upon the ROOT
at night, r
Than the hghing of the pine trees on yonder
mountain hight;
And tell you, these are tender, yet never
quite 50 sweet
As the murznr and the cadence Of the wind
across the wheat
have you watched the golden billows in a
sunlit sea Of grain,
Ere yet the reaper bound the sheaves, to fill
the crealdng vain!
Have You thought how snow and tempest,
and the bitter wintry cold,
Were but the guardian angels, thenext years
- bread to hold, ',y
A precious thing unharfned by the turmoil
Of the sky
lust waiting, growing, silently, until the
storms went by!
Oil have you lifted up your heart, to Him
who loves us all,
And listen, through the angel-songs, II but a
sparrow fall.
And then, thus thinking of His hand, what
symphony so sweet .'5 ''"a
AS the music in the long refrain, the wind
acroae kha xvhaafS
1t hath its dulcet echoes, from many a lul-
lnby, ....,..e..s.
Where the Graded baby is hushed beneath
the mothers loving eye.
It hath its heaven-promise, as sure as
heavens throne,
That He who sent the mama will ever feed
His own;
And, though an atom only, mid the count
less hosts who share
The Makers never ceasing watch, the Father
deathless care,
That atom is as dear to Him as my dear child
to me;
He cannot lose me from my place through all
f7 eternity; Psi tEas
You wonder, when it sings me this, there's
nothing half so sweet.
Beneath the circling planets as the wind
across the wheat!

The Providence Journal observes thar
@the petition for the coinage of half
cent piece, which is being prepared for
presentation to the next Congress, may
not be Supported by any urgent necessity,
but it cannot be denied that the request
has some elements of reason. 1t may be
said, of course, that we have tried this
thing once and gave it up, and it is quite
true that the old half begun to be
coined in 1899, was discontinued in
1857 without any remonstrance from the
people. But though the people ap-
parently consented to its discontinuance,
they have gone on persistently recog-
anizing in trade the half-cent value, and it
may well be argued that's values which
play considerable part in business deal
ings ought to be represented in com
bination of coins. A half-cent would
certainly be great convenience in many
kinds of business, and it might do some
thing toward promoting the exercise of
economy. Indeed the tendency Of
narrowing profits, which is everywhere
easily traceable, must mean the more
general use of the smaller fractional coins; !;
and it would not be surprising if the half
cent should before long come into COM
mon demand for the same reasons that
have brought the one and two-cent
pieces into use in sections of the country
where until very recently they were
practically unknown" -----

History Of Footwear.

Who would suppose that the common
use of shoes and all kinds of foot cover
ings was of much later date than the
carrying of scent bottles2 No one, am
sure; and yet the people of certain
European countries, long after they had
learned to clothe their bodies in an
elaborate and costly fashion, we're in the
habit of "going barefooted." This was
the custom even so late as the sixteenth
century, aud in the fourteenth warriors
equipped in full! armor rode about with
out any covering on either feet or legs
below the knees. This would seem still
more strange than it does did one not
recollect that even in this enlightened
day the Scots, who would scorn any sug-
gestion of barbarism, still cling to their
national dress, which leaves knees
wholly uncovered, despite the cold
climate. The earliest records bear wit
ness, however, that Moses and Aaron
were commanded to take the shoes from
off their feet before entering the temple,
and in Egypt at that time the rich and
great wore sandals 'encrusted with pre-
cious stones, of which the soles were made
of gold. On the bottom was engraved
the named of such people as had been
conquered by the owners, if they hap
pened to be of the conquering sex.
Sandals with points elongated and turned
up were the exclusive property of royalty.
Some of the early Asiatic nations
covered their feet with the skins OF
animals in fashion closely resembling
that Of to-day. Pliny describes the
house sandals Of the Greek and Roman
women as woven of threads of precious
metal, thickly strung with pearls. But
those worn out of doors were invariably
made of undressed leather, slit in places,
through which thong Of leather passed
and fastened the sandal to the foot.
These were introduced into England,
where, as early as the ninth century, well
shaped, tight-itting black leather shoes
were made. Since then, Of course, the
fashion and style of boots and shoes has
changed, !. as is true of every other article
of apparel, but the general use of black
leather has prevailed over every Other
thing. Chicago He,old. B,
