The letter of Henry Phipps, Jr., to
Mayor Gourley, offering to erect S1OO, 900

communication in which he called attention
to the splendid example set by Mrs.
Schenley, Andrew Carnegie and Mr. Phipps
Ii was one, he said, which others of wealth
would do well to initiate: he called atten-
tion to the need OF a city hospital, and cited
it as an instance of the many fields for the
expression Of public spirit yet remaining
open.
In Select Mr.. Heating moved that COM
mittee of five, two from Select and three

sented to Mr.. Phipps for his handsome gift.

adopted. The resolution did not reach

The ISLAND OF THE SEVEN
HEADED DEvIL.-The little island
of PootoO. about $50 miles from
Shanghai and forty from Ningpo,
is q beaut full little dot in the China
Sea. some four miles square, and is
sacred to the worship Of Buddha.
Being sacred island. Pootoo has
its temple and the temple has its
idol. u monster figure hammered
from pure gold, holding cornu-
copia filled with bamboo sticks. A
devil with seven red heads, each
provided with seven mouths filed
with blue teeth and white tongues,
is said to have once threatened the
Chinese and their Buddhistic in
stitutions. He came by way of the
China Sea, and the people prepared
to defend themselves and their
religion. Although floating on the
crest Of the waves forty miles out
from NingpO. the awful red heads
and blue teeth of the devil were
plainly visible night and day to
those on land. The priests inn
people passed sleepless nights.
Finally an old mandarin bethought
himself of plan to rid the country
of the impending calamity. lie
went to the spot where Buddha had
been seen to kneel and pray. Re-
moving the turf, he delved in the
clay with a sacred knife and made
round ball and fashioned the
image of Buddha's face on one Of
its sides. With this peculiar relic
carefully wrapped in u turban of
yellow silk he joined Che grief
stricken thrOng at the seashorc.
Again imploring Buddha for divine
assistance, he hurled the sacred clay
with might and main ut the many
headed demon in the sea. As the
ball receded from the shore it
seemed to grow in size; so also did
the redheadcd, blue-tOOthed devil.
But the ball enlarged much more
rapidly than the imp of his Satanic
Majesty, and finally dropped prone
upon the horrid creature. With
howl Of baffied rage and pain the
devil sank beneath the weight
of the ball, but not until he had
gived it one furious lash with his
spiked tail. The ball Of sacred
clay continued to grow and 10 now

through its centre marking the spot
were the furious devil lashed it in
his dying rage. Chinese tradition
says that in his last struggles the
devil loosened several Of bis scales,
which were evel Ny washed upon
the sacred island and used IN laying
the foundation of he temple above
mentioned. The cornucopia in the
arms of the golden idol now in the
temple il made from one Of the
blue teeth of the monster.

No critic has yet given Us a scientific
analysis of Irish genius, but there are
certain features of it which all recog-

Through all the ages this has been noted:
No matter whether the poet or orator
was Kettle or Norman, Dane or Saxon,
IL only his family had been in Ireland
long enough, his effusions showed the
same exquisite perception Of the delicate
shades Of meaning in all words expressive
Of sorrow or love, anger, humor on
hatred, devotion or patriotism. II it in
