THE RIVER LEE.

I asked my mother long ago
When was young and curious,
What made the river travel SO
In manner quaint and furious9
Why did ths water make such bends
And twist in strange meand' rings,
Gould not it serve the selfsame ends
Without such tedious wand rinRsf
She said, ''My son, when Patrick came
To preach to our dear nation
OF Him who cured the blind and lame
And died for our salvation,
He banished from the land we love
All things of evil spirit,
The snakes, the toads, and all the drove
That human hate inherit.
"And when to Cork he came to take
The water of Gods fountains.
BE heard of Gougane Barra Lake,
Encircled by the mountains.
With st. Finn Barr, he travelled west,
They topped at Inniscarra,
To bless our home, to take rest,
And talk of Gougane Barra.
sfwithin the lake, the people said
reptile, fierce and vicious,
Had built his home and made his bed
In manner surreptitious.
St. Patrick sang the holy MAS,
Upon the lonely island,
And called the monster out, to pass
Forth from the deep to dry land.
ssWith awful roar, tbs snake appeared
And showed its fearful visage;
It squirmed in dread. then wildly steered
Its winding, may passage
Among the hills and woodlands deep,
Through lovely Iniscarra,
Past Cork's sweet town did slowly creep
From lovely Gougane Barra.
AHAnd az 1t left the gloomy lake
The waters followed after,
And made their journey IN its wake
With many shouts OF laughter.
So thus the Lee did first appear
mnll its mad commotion,
And thus its twisted course did steer
Towards tn Atlantic ocean,

colonial government of Newfoundland for a

have been brought to the attention of the
board of managers Of New York produce

WOMEN WITH RED NOSES.
Tight Laeing Largely Responsible for the
Illuminated Member.

Concerning that most Undesirable orna-
loent, Il red nose, the following from the
Christian Union is very much to the point:
"N hen, as quaint little dealer in cor
se,s expresses it, "a woman is getting too
much complexion on her nose, Just where
she doesn't want it, and too much de-
yelopment upon her abdomen, just where
she abOminates it; all through tight lac
ing, then, and not until then, will she let
out her cOrsets and wear them us she
should.
Iou see, the philosophy of it is this ::
Tight corsets produce just the internal
arrangements which result in undue red
ness Of the nose, and besides, they retard
the circulation. Anything which tends to
send the blood to the head in undue guam
titles affects the circulation of the face.
ana the nose, being the most prominent
member, Is the first to hang out the danger
signal, to the distress of its owner. The
multItudlnous and inhnitesimal veins and
cells, dlstended in an unnatural manner
the greater part Of the time, ultimately
20 off ON Il strike, with the unreasonable
ness of other hard labOrers, and refuse to
perform their work of contraction, even
when all obstacles are removed and hours
are shortened to their liking, AID this re-
suits IN Il permanently glowing member,
causing great annoyance and yeXation.
Ot course. IN a tIeShy nose the result is
most disastrous, as the circulation is more
apparent while, if the feature Is cartila-
gmous, there Is little or no blood circula
ton, and the effect is not quite so palpa-
ble and distressing.
You see, I've been in the business a
| long time first with regular corSetS, now
with these waists. | remember that the
pretty young girls who used to insist on
my pulling up their cOrSetS until the new
laceS snapped like threads. came back to

| and heaven Is a myth. know lady who
will admit, now that she has really reform
