THE DAUGHTERS OF ERIN.
Tho Rosy and Pretty Colleen Bawn of the
Rural Districts OF Ireland.

In the renoter districts away from
the villages, among the peaty bogs and
the hawthorne hedges, the roses bloom
red in the cheeks of the Irish peasant
girl, writes Limerick correspondent.
However she manages it on the STIR
about and potatoes, she grows lush
and vigorous and full of sap. like the
green things that fill the island.
The colleen bawn is straight. she j:
not infrequently tall, her shoulders
are broad, her waist large but supple,
and she looks rs strong rs q young
man. Her hair is brown. perhaps
with shade of chestnut; sometimes il
has ripple in it, but oftener it is lus-
terless and straight. and. very posi-
bly,, so heavy rs to be almost mop-like.

cred; her eyes are frank and blue, heI
complexion clear. though exposure to
the weather has darkened it and put
into it shades of yellow-brown, and the
red in her cheeks is us deep as in the
peoples that brighten the wheat fields.
1t is a splash of color, daring. as if an
artist had flung it on dark spot of his
canvas, more brilliant than one ever
sees in the dryer climate of what they
are here pleased to call "thc States"
spreading its warm blush quite from
cheekbone to chin.
The peasant girl is often fine look
ing. sometimes superlatively handsome,
but never with what an American
would consider any delicacy of beauty.
She has few of the soft curves of more
luxuriously nurtured young woman
tood. Her arms are not rounded
they look muscular and hard. Hel
bust is fiat, like an Amazon's. She is
not dimpled. but she is sturdy, rs be-
comes scion of the ''foinest pisanthry
in the world" Her greatest charm is
her fresh and splendid vitality.
She wears IA red kerchief over hel
head or folded about her shoulders,
and petticoat of brown Or dark blue
stuff, which she weavcs herself and
which stops half way between her
knees and her ankles. Six days in the
week her feet are brown and bare.
They are large feet, and look better in
their naked shapeliness than when dis
guised for Sundays and holidays under
coarse yarn stockings-these she knits
and the cheap laced shoes. with the
peculiar combination of thick soles and
high heels, which come to the small
market towns. For defense against
the weather she has a long black cloak
gathered at the neck and provided
with hood. and which is probably the
most characteristic article left OF the
old peasant costume.

One Niasher Probably Cured.

Two Boston womca who saw tho
sights of the metropolis alone last
week used with good effect a weapon
which had proved eflicacious in dealing
with the Washers of the Hub. One of
them carried parasol with n long and
strong handle. which ended in point
almost rs sharp as n brad awl. She
found early occasion to use it in a
train on Third avenue. She and her
companion occupied cross seat, and
the double seat opposite was soon
taken by one of the most offensive of
the masber tribe. Not satisfied with
staring impudently ut the ladies' he
presently attempted to insiuuate his
foot between the feet of the one carry
ing the parasol. Apparently by acct
dent. she brought the point of her
parasol down smartly upon the fellows
foot. He gave an Involuntary ex-
clamation of pain and Withdrew to the
end of the seat oppostc the other lady.
The lesson seems not to have heen
severe enough. for II few minutes later
he insuted her in the same Manner.
This time he was punished in earnest.
The woman carrying the parasOl
watched him, and suddenly leaning
over TO look out of the window
she jabbcd the brad and point into the
fellows instcp and gave it II quick turn
before he could draw his foot away.
The man cried out with pain, jumped
to his feet and limpel out of the car.
The passengers conld not understand
his actions, and the lady with the
parasOl looked us much surprised as
an body.-N. y. Sun.

These words of IA woman like Miss
Edwards should induce reflection ON
the part of parents. teachers and the
young themselves. 1t is very natural
for bright, active young minds to. wish
to know everything, to be proficient
in every study and accomplishment
that attracts them; but they should
learn to say no to themselves when
this temptation besets them, or if they
can not do this, their parents and
teachers should do it for them.- No.

Everyday Etiquette.

Do not beat n tattoo with Your feet
when in company with others; nor
whistle; nor hum Il tune; nor drum
with your fingers upon convenient
objects.
Complete your toilet in the privacy
of your own room. If the nose, ears
and finger tips must he cleaned. per-
form these operations elsewhere than
in public.
Try not to cape, hiccough or sneeze
in company.
Resist the desire to caress the face
with the hands. Either the face or the
hands is sure to suffer in appearance
by being brought together. Rubbing
the eyes. smoothing the forehead and
patting the mouth add nothing to per-
sonal beauty.
Never sit with the legs crossed.
When asked to play or sing. do not
refuse if yon intend to perform. 1t is

family affairs with them.

Boston Traveller: Life is full of ups
and downs, and all that saves the
sanity of the mentally faded and
physically exhausted fortune-tigh is
the periodical good cry and the
momentary loss of consciousness on the
upstairs lounge or the old sofa in the
sitting room. There are times when so

narcotic. when the head throbs, the

clear, the nerves steady. the heart
light and the star of hope shine again.

HEALTH OF THE STATE.
The Death Rate For July "a Trifie
Less Than the Average.

The Death Rate For July Trifie
Less Than the Average.
There were 300 deaths reported in
July. This was 392 more than in June,
and 30 less than in July of last year, and
25 less than the average mortality in
July for the five years preceding the
present.
The death-rate was 22S for the large
towns; for the small towns l7.6, and gig
for the whole state.
The death from zymotic diseases were
495, being SO per cent of the total NOR
tally against 1915 per cent in June. The
increased percentage is due to the ex-
cessive mortality from diarrho.a.
In his report on the cause of the re-
cent outbreak of typhoid fever in this
city DIR II. E. Smith says: Concerning
the milk supply, the following facts
were learned. OF the thirty-five house
invasions with fifty cases twenty-six
houses with forty-one cases were identi-
fed by a certain milk dealer as houses oc-
cupied by families which he had supplied
with milk at or just before the time of
the outbreak. This number includes all
houses in which more cases than one
were reported; also the South Willow
street houses, and all others in which
sses.occurred in the houses adjoining
one another or very near together.
This dealer had daily about 900 quarts,
of which he retailed somewhat over 400;
it came from nine farms in the adjoin-
ing town of Middlebury, but chiefly from
three. Several of the places were visited;
but as it was quickly ascertained from
the physicians practicing i'll the vicinity
that no typhoid fever was know to eX
list except on one farm. my attention was
especially directed to that one. On this
farm there had been three cases of ty-
phoid fever, the farmer, his daughter,
and the farm hand. In one corner, on
the barnyard side, was a tank, supplied
with water from faucet, in which the
cans were placed to cool the milk. The
cans standing in this tank. with the
covers tipped so as to leave the opening
partly uncovered were so situated as ito
receive any dust which might be stirred
up by wind blowing through the milk
room. At the time of the first and second
visits. the barnyaId was very fonl from
the accumulation of manure, which had
not been removed for many weeks, owing
to the farmers illness. The barnyard
was not drained, portions of the yard
being so depressed as to retain water and
saturated manure several inches in
depth.
The evidence found in this investiga-
ton permits no other conclusion than
the one that attributes the outbreak of
the fever to the infection of the milk at
the Middlebury farm. That the cases
| were not even more numerous in the
families on this route, is undoubtedly
due to the fact that only about one
quarter of the milk supplied came from
this farm.
