"Erin Go Bra. ("
Charles de Kay in Century.

ChhrleS de Nay III century.
War cries, meant originally to keep the
fighting men aware of the place of their
own clan in battle, or when scattered in
woods and hills, came down to the baronial
period, and were used by the Anglo Nor
man mobiles out of consideration for their
Gaelic retainers The commoneSt shout
was some name of famous place or famous
man with the addition aboo, a word well
fitted for the clamor of band of fighters,
being at once more musical and less weary
ing to the voice than our "hurrah.' The
Kildare retaners cried ''Crom aboo" in
honor of Crom castle, citadel in Limerick
county, originally stronghold of the
O'Donovans, which one of the intrusive
Geraldine families, named after the town
Of Kildare, occupied while turning Irish.
The O'Neills cried out, "Lawv dareg
aboo = because the Lawv dareg or Red
Hand was the badge of the family and elan.
The O'Briens cried, 'sLawv Ladder !" or
'Laudir aboo y or 'tStrong Hand aboo I"
The translator Of Geofrey Keating's "His-
tory of Ireland suggests as the meaning
of aboo the Irish word booa, victory; bat
analogy would point rather to boa (beotha),
lively, awake, spirited; when aboo would be
an exclamation like the French alerte and
vive A parellel in Irish is the well known
Erin go bra "Erin till judgment day! +
where 60 bra, forever, implies the same
idea Of living which the word beotha ac-
tally contains, since the latter is the Kettle
equivalent of Greek bios.
"Yabu - is the exclamation of Tartar
horsemen when urging their steeds for
ward. While on this topic it may be in
teresting to note that this Irish word, or
its Welsh equivalent yu byw, corrupted to
boo and boh, is found in our collOquial ex-
preston, Gle doesn't dare say boo to
goose" or in other words, he is too cow
ardly to sound his war cry in the presence
of the most peaceful of creatures.

Don't be Too Sensitive.

There are some people, yes, many peo-
pie, always looking out for sights. They
cannot carry on the daily intercourse of the
family without some offense is designated.
They are as touchy as hair triggers. If
tLey meet an acquaintance on the street
who happens to be preoccupied with bust
ness, they attribute his abstraction in some
mode personal to themselves, and take UNI
brage accordingly. They lay on others the
fact of their irritability. A fit of indiges-
tion makes them see impertinence in every
one they come in contact with. Innocent
persons, who never dreamed of giving of
fence, are astonished TO find some unfortu-
nate word or momentary tacturnity mis-
taken for an insult.
To say the least, the habit Is nniortu-
nate 1t is far wiser to take the more
charitable view Of our fellow beings, and
not suppose slight is intended unless the
neglect is open and direct. After all, 100,
life takes its hues in great degree from
the color of our mind If We are frank
and generous, the world treats us kindly.
If, on the contrary, we are suspicious, men
learn to be cold and cautious with u.s. Let
a person get the reputation of being touchyr
and everybody is under more or less con
straint and in this way the chance of an
imaginary offence is vastly increased.

WESTMINSTER, MD, SATURDAY, MARCH T. 1891
Saved by a Lawyer.

The famous Avery murder trial in the
Henry county circuit court, Tennessee, has
ended John G. Avery walked forth a
free man for the first time in three years.
The story reads like romance, and is per-
haps, the most remarkable and unique case
ever tried in any court. In June, 1887,
Charles Ensley, cousin Of Avery, and a
wealthy young man, was killed in his room
at Rocky Springs, while lying ON IA lounge
about ; O'Clock in the afternoon. The
weapon used was small rifle, sending 32
calibre through Ensleys brain. No one
was in the house at the time but Ensley.
An empty rife was found lying oa lis rack
ON the side of the wall, and the bullet fitted
the tube. Avery was arrested for the
crime, as he was the only living close re-
lation TO Ensley, and would have profited
by his death to an extent of nearly $780,
600. Avery was tried, pleaded not guilty,
but was convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced TO be hanged.
Avery appealed 10 the supreme eourt
and engaged the celebrated criminal law
yer, Wallis, of Cincinnati, o., to defend
him and other counsel of State reputation
aided him. The supreme court remanded
it back to the circuit court on account of
technical errors. A change of venue was
taken and the trial transferred to Paris.
Two mistrials have been brought about.
Now comes the strongest part of the story:
The brilliant Wallis, with genius almost
phenomenal, and influenced by the fee of
$4,000, struck the keynote to the mystery.
In August last he had the rife loaded and
hung on the wall, white sheet with the
form Of a man marked ON it, and heavy
cut glass pitcher of water placed on the
shelf above.
The temperature was 80 degrees in the
shade, one of the hottest days of the year
The pitcher of water acted as a sun glass,
and the hot rays OF the sun shining through
the water were refracted directly on the
cartridge chamber of the rife Eight wit
nesses were in the room, and a few minutes
after 3 o'clock puff and a report and the
ball struck the outlined form back of the
ear and the theory of cireumstantial evil
dence was exploded. The incident being
seen and sworn to readily explained itself
to the jury As the sleeping man was ly-
ing on the lounge the direct rays Of the
sun glass heated the cartridge, causing it
to explode. No stranger case has ever
been known in the history of criminal law
than that of the State against John G.
Avery.

A PERFECT MAN.
Finest Physical Development the Police
Examiners Have Ever Found.
From The New York Sun.


Among all the 300 men who have pre-
sented themselves TO undergo the physical
examination for appointment ON the city
police force, DIR. Brown and the Board of
Examiners have picked out Daniel NJ.
Hogan, of n Horatio street, as the most
perfectly developed man Of the lot In
fact, they put him down as perfect so far
as physical development goes Hogan is
man of 30, and was born of Irish parents
in Fonda, Montgomery county (better
known as "Fundy'). He has liyedin New
York only for the past fourteen years, and
is now foreman of pier lG, North river, for
the Pennsylvania Railroad His record in
the examination is unsurpassed Others
before him have done as well in some par
ticular test, but never has so good an aver
age been attained
Hogan is trinity built man. standing
5 feet Sinches, and weighing, stripped, l5S
pounds. On the lifting machine, with his
back, he pulled up ego pounds, and with
legs l,lS8; strength of forearm, measuring
134 inches, $50 pounds; of upper arm,
measuring 154 inches, $50 pounds capa-
city of lungs, 300 cubic inches; strength of
contractor muscles, 1G5 pounds; of pectoral
muscles, l9l pounds; adductor muscles,
knee pressure in squeezing, 2SG pounds.
All of these measurements are far above
the average. In both the agility test, in
cluding jumping, rope climbing and hori-
zontal and parallel bar exercise, and in the
condition and health of the muscles and
system, Hogan ranked 100, or perfect
With the right arm he put up dumbbell
weighing 75 pounds, and with the left one
of GO pounds.
He has still to have his mind examined,
and should he DO as well in that as he has
in the examination just passed, he will head
the list of applicants. Among his ac-
quaintances he is highly spoken of as a
quiet man who never boasts or brags of the
strength which they are all aware he pos
sesses.

An Ingenious Light.

The Mining and Scientific Press sug
gcsts this plan to obtain light instantly
and without danger of setting things on
fire: Take long vial of the clearest
glass, put into it piece of phosphurous
about the size of Pea. Upon this pour
some pure olive oil heated to the boiling
point, the bottle to be filed one-third full;
then cork tightly. To use the light, re-
move the cork, allow the air to enter and
then recork The whole empty space in
the bottle will become luminous, and the
light obtained will be good one. Assoon
as the light becomes dim its power can be
increased by opening the bottle and allow
ing fresh supply of air to enter. In cold
weather it is sometimes necessary to heat
the vialbetween the hands 10 increase the
fuidity of the oil, and one bottle will last
all winter This ingenious contrivance can
be carried in the pocket, and is used by
watchmen Of Paris in all magazines where
explosive or inhammable materials are
stored

"stop My Paper"
From the Lutheran Observer

From the Lutheran Observer.
Now newspaper, in one aspect, is some
thing like hotel table. 1t presents to its
readers literary viands and views from many
different writer's and many different sub
jects, to suit many different persons of
many different tastes. There is something
for the old and the young, for ministers
and laymen, for parents and children, for
the poetic,and the prosaic, for the practical
and devotional; and, in short, for 'all sorts
and conditions of men"-and wozen too.
If, now, one of these classes of persons OBJ
jected to articles suited for any of the other
classes, and rejects newspaper on that ac-
count, he is just as unreasonable in this as
if he refused to take his dinner at hotel
table because he dislikes some article Of
food which others enjoy

Use of Petroleum Increasing.


It is an interesting fact that the first use
to which petroleum was put in England
was not that of luminant. Its chemical
composition rendered it most useful me
dium for preserving substances which have
strong affinity for oxygen. Chemists
employed it in preserving potassium and
metals possessed of kindred qualities. Hot
naphtha, it was discovered, dissolved phos-
phorus and sulphur, and deposited them on
cooling. II was found to be, too. an cx-
cellent solvent for gutta percha, caoutchouc,
camphor, fatty aud resinOus bodies gener-
ally, and hence it was extensively used in
the arts for these purposes. It's great use,
however, is as a source Of artificial light,
and Notwithstanding the present use Of coal
gas and electric lighting the employment
Of petroleum for this purpose still increases.

PREMONITION.

Today once more tune my Tyre.
But o, its charm, its tone, seems lost;
Gone is the spark ofcrystal fire
Upon sea of care storm toss'd
My life bark drifted on yet on.
While dark clouds rolFd thickly o'erhead
But sweet the thought, at last the dawn
Has broken clear-Peace reigns instead.
Full many tempest swept my sky,
As far from home my feet did stray;
Bitter the blasts, the winds were high
Now all is calm, Christ lights the way.
Gold is the world, life's changing path
Leads often on to dangers sleeps;
on. on 10 where the whirlwind's wrath
Shall dash us down if conscience sleeps.
But like brook in the lapse of May,
sweetly the soft, still voice we hear;
To turn MS from the dangerous way
Though seeming fair. death fingers near.
My soul is filrd with wondrous joy
That written ne'er can be, nor said;
Soon will come a sound BOAT ahoy -
To me, and men will say, "hes dead
Zen as l write feel the breeze,
"The land breeze of heaven on my brow;
or seem to feel. Soon through the haze
know will glide the vessels prov.
The oars are never muffied--'tis best,
We hear their dip ere seen-the tide
Is beating up, and l shall rest
Secure with Him, the cruciied!

Good Morning.

Don'tforget to say ''good morning and
say it cheerfully and with smile; it will
do you good, and do your friends good.
There is a kind inspiration in every good
morning heartily spoken that helps to
make hope fresher and work lighter 1t
seems really to make the morning good,
and to bea prophecy Of a good day to come
after it. Aud il this be true of the ''good
morning, it is also true of all kind heart
some greetings; they cheer the discouraged,
rest the tired one, somehow make the
wheels of life run more smoothly. Be
liberal with them then, and let no morning
