THE WORLDS FAIR. .
France VIII Probably Accept the In
vitation Of the United states.

yitation Of the United States.
PARIS, Jan. 10.-A question of much
interest now is that the invitation of the
United States asking France to be repre-
sented ct the Worlds Fair in Chicago be
received. The matter will necessarily
come before the Ministry first. I'm
doubtedly the Mckinley bill will be
brought up. A prominent member of
the Government said, however, that they
know the Mckinley tariff does not treat
France so severely as some countries
Germany, for instance. This may tend
to give q more friendly reception to the
invitation than would otherwise be the
case. Furthermore the recent elections in
the United States leads us to hope for a
change in the course of the next Congress,
and bearing in mind how literally the
Americans patronized the Paris Exposi-
ton, it is said the invitation will meet
with good will.

In Ireland the lizard is called 'aire luichair." which, literally translated, means the pig of the rushes." It is held in great esteem for its curative powers. When caught the person who is anxious to receive the curative power takes the aire luichair in his hand and licks the creature all over head. feet, belly, legs, sides and tail; sud the tongue of the person who thus licks the aire luichair is said to ever afterwards possess the power of taking the pain and sting out of 6 burn. The aire luichair crawling across the throat of one suffering with quinzy or the hands Of person who has licked or even recently handled one of the. little creatures is thought to be sovereign remedy for that dis- ease. There is also q prevailing idea that the aire luichair is always on the watch to crawl down the throat of any person who happens to fall asleep out of doors.

CARVED ON THE MOUNTAIN
An lnsc Iption sx'r-Four Y a-s old
 Prem Byron.

An Insc Iption s'x'r-Four a-s old
 Prem Byron.
 Judge H. A. Sharp spent day this week on Shades Mountain, near OX- moor. says the Birmingham News. and to while away a few idle moments he memorized an inscription cut in q large rock on top of the mountain and near Farrar's Cave.
 The letters were clear cut, but cov- cred with moss. The inscription is a quotation from Byron, and the date, "1S27," Is shortly after the time Byron wrote it. At the bottom of the quo'a- tion is carved the names Thomas w. Farrar and Seraphine Farrar.
 Here is the quotation:
 To sit on rocks, to muse Der flood and fell, To slowly trace the forests shady scenes, Where things that know not mans do-
 minion dwell,
 And mortal foot hath ne'er or rarely been
 The quotation is incomplete, and the following is the remainder: To roam the trackless desert all unseen, With the wild hocks that never need Q
 fold
 This is not solitude, 'tis but to hold con-
 verse with natures self, And view her stores unroll.
 The quotation is from Byron's 'Childe Harold" and it's inscription on the rock shows that Mir. Farrar, who was a bachelor and devoted to solitude, was also a man of literary taste. The sentiment is in keeping with the place, for at that time the woods were almost an unbroken forest The point of view is high above the surrounding country, and sweeps the valley for miles with it's shifting scenes of light and shadow, waving trees and fragrant flowers, flashing streams and musical songsters.
