The Real Irish FrieZc.

ClOthier and Furnisher.
Among the various textile products
of Irish manufacturing skill, the
most extensively known is the Justly
celebrated Irish frieze. Its manufac-
ture has come down from time i'm
memorial. The process since it was
first woven on the primitive hand
loom, and the subsequent manipula-
ton to prepare it for the only gar
ment for which it is pre-eminently
suited, the cotha more (big coat or
overcoat), has been handed down
from one generation of the Irish peO-
pie to another, until at the present
day, the rapidly increasing steam
power looms of the Irish mills are in
gagged in manufacturing friezes which
are making their way by sheer force
of real merit in the best markets of
the world.
The chief features which distin-
guish Irish frieZe from other cloths
are lJs absolute imperviousness to
rain and its extraordinary durability
These points of excellence are secured
through the peculiar method of man
ufacturing the longest and best wool
selected from the best Irish fieeces,
without which there can be no gen.
uine Irish frieze. Nothing but wash
ed wool of the longest and strongest
fl Der is used. This is first dyed, and
afterward, when spun, is doubled so
as to resemble yarn. 1t is then
woven, after which it is put through
the thickening or tucking process, as
it is termed. This latter is practical
ly a somewhat prolonged washing or
sousing of the clothes in a carefully
prepared solution, slowly heated up
tO:the boiling point and then as slow
ly cooled again. This shrInks, and
consequently thiCkens the fabric
which comes from the loom to such
an extent that it becomes almost inn
possible, after cutting the goods, to
seperate one thread of the cloth from
the other, so closely are they allied
and so interdpendent on each other.

Up Among The Clouds.

Great excitement was caused at
Croydon one Saturday afternoon, says
the London Standard, in connection
with the ascent from the old fair field
of Prof Higgins, the parachutist, and
for several hours doubts We're enter
tanned as to his safety. The balloon,
which had that day been named ''rhe
Dukes Motto" and was of the capacity
of $4,000 cubic feet, was fully charged
by five O'Clock. Higgins said the direc-
ton of the wind, which was northeast,
would necessitate his travelling a con-
siderable height, but he hoped to re-
turn to the field in about half an hour.
When he gave the signal to the atten-
dants to "Let go" the machine grad
ually rose, and appeared to go in the
direction of Norwood. Upon reaching
an altitude of something like 1000
feet, the parachute became detached
from the net of the ballon, which was
evidently proceeding upward at great
rate, as the parachute was fully ex-
banded, although inverted. 1t was
evident that something was wrong
with the apparatus, and, amid breath
less excitement, the parachute dropped
from the balloon and fell into the gar
den in Eas. Croydon. The balloon
rapidly disappeared in the clouds.
When darkness set in and no news had
been received of the parachutist, much
anxiety was evinced as to his fate.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, however, all
fear was dispelled by the receipt of a

The Emerald ISLE"


Once a week.
How many orators and poets have
been credited with the authorship of
the expires i,n "rhc Emerald lslc"-
one of the most poetic pet names for
beautiful land-it would Ike difficult to
enunierate. Writers of "Answers to
Correspondents" in journals of high
and low degree-even in the country of
its birth-havc attributed it to Daniel
O'Connell, John Philpot Cnrran, Tom
Moore and Davis; the honor has been
accorded to DIR. Madden, to Thomas
Francis Meaghcr and to Darcy Nc
Gee; but to none of those does it right
fully belong. 1t was the inspiration of
AN Irish poet and patriot, who, but
little known among readers on this side
of the Atlantic, was in many respects
the equal of the best of these, and as
lover of his country in no sense the in
ferior of any.
In 1918, and on st. Patrick's day,
DR.. William Drennen wrote the pre-
face to little brochure of his poems, in
which he explained that he had fur
nished them to II young friend "just
entering the printing business, to give
him an occasion of showing the public
his progress in the topographic art"
One of the poems, entitled ERIN, -
opens with this stanza:
"When Erin first rose from the dark swelling
food,
God blessed the green island: He saw 'twa,
good:
The Smerald Of Europe. it sparklei. i,
In the ring of this world the mort preciou.
st0ne.'
But it Is in the tenth stanza tina,
occurs the expression with which this
article Is headed:
"Arm Of Erin! prove strong. but be gentle ii
brave.
Aud. uplifted to strike still be ready to save
Nsr one feeling Of vengeance presume t
dedls
The cause. or the men of the Emerald Isle. ,
To many who have met with the ex
preston for the first time in this poem
1t has seemed that 1t was here first usee
in print; hut in note the author
touching upon the poets jealousy i,
regard to the priority of the claim to a,
epithet likely to become popular, saws
"'rhe Emerald Isle was first used in
party song, written without the rance
of party, in the year 1885," To this h
adds: "From the frequent use mad
of the term since that time he rth
author] fondly hopes that it will grad
ually become associated with the nam
Of his country, as descriptive of it
prime natural beauty and its inestim
able value" And the patriotic-poet'
fond wish was .gratified years before h
died.

About ChloroforminQ.

The statement that when q hand

he Immediately goes into a trance is
interesting andraises a curious point.
There are many lawyers who are
wont to declare that the evidence
given from time to time at criminal
trials leaves no doubt that there ex-
its some drug which, when spread
upon a cloth and placed over the
nose and mouth, Immediately pro-

Chloroform and the oUner recog-
nized anRsthetics require at least
three distinct inhalations to produce
the loss of sensation. To reconcile
this conflict of testimony seems i'm
possible, unless, indeed, we adopt the
sensational theory that some camor-
ra among the criminal classes in
possession of a trade secret as vet

ever, this notion is too fantastic, and
we should rather incline to the sup
position that the immediate loss of
consciousness is due to something
comparable to mesmeric action
