Traits and Achievements of Lord
Wolseley, the Irish Commander.
From the Chicago Post.
Gen. Wolseley, now in command Of the
British forces in Ireland, is, as Wellington
Yves, a native of that tumultuous and ex-
plosive island. Very few men in his posi-
ton and of his age-he is not yet 5s-have
had 80 many experiences and morrow es.
capes. He is soldier through and through,
and one OF the very best, it Is thought, En-
gland has had.
The son of Maj. j. G. Wolseley of the
Twenty-fifth regiment Of foot, he entered
his profession as ensign at the age of Is and
was rapidly promoted. During his first
campaigning, in Burmah, he and a brother
officer were shot down at the head OF a
storming party. His companion bled to
death in O few minutes, and his life was
saved almost miraculously after months of
extreme suffering. In the Crimea, when he
was but 2l, he was several times wounded.
In the trenches before Sebastopol he was
knocked down by solid shot striking near
him, and rendered senssless, while those
about him were instantly killed. He was
picked up for dead with wounds all over his
body. The surgeons abandoned hope; but
he did not. and to his determination and
fortitude he owed bis final recovery, with
the loss Of an eye. "a regular war dog, he
has fought wherever there has been a chance
in Asia and Africa. He is believed by the
common soldier to bear a charmed life, and
his name is indissolubly connected with
victory.
Scholarship aside, he has various accom-
pllshments, having written. besides military
works, clever novel, MARLEY Castle.r
and Is regarded socially as delightful. The

ents by the fact of his nativity.

From Chambers' Journal
In the time of Shakespeare domestic serv-
ice was in a state Of transition: tbs old sys-
tenn was decaying, the new one springing
into life: and IL one may be allowed TO
Judge from casual references scattered
throughout the plays of the poet the new
order does not appear 10 have been alto

valid. the steward, as a 'kuave, q rascal
and eater of broken meats; base, proud,

From Shakespeare's plays it further ap-
pears that the servants Of the period were
companions and confidants of their master
and that they were generally sly and pilfer-
ing and players Of practical jokes. In great
families it was customary for servants to
take aa oath OF fidelity on their entrance
into Office. Posthumus alludes to the. usage
when he says Of Imogen's servants:
Her attendants are
All sworn and honorable.
The condition Of servants at this period
was therefore peculiar. and it is clear that
they were ruled by a curious mixture Of
stern discipline ana great laxity. One mode
Of enforcing obedience was by imposing for
feits or fines, some of which are enumerated
by Sir j. Harrington in his "Nuga
Antique" For being absent from prayers,
for uttering an oath, for leaving the door
open, ''for anv follower visiting the cook,
fine was inflicted. while in another set Of
rules it is provided that

made at the conclusion that
Each one here shall be assistance,

HISTORY oF The HARP.
It's Origin and Gradual Development
Some Celebrated Harms


It's Origin and Gradual Development.
Some Celebrated Harps.
The harp originated in the east and
spread from the Assyrians and Egyptians
to the Jews; from them to the Greeks, the
Firms. the Welsh, the Irish and other ma
tions. Ireland did great deal for the in
strument in the Middle Ages, and the Ital-
ians, who borrowed it from them, wrongly
credited them with its invention. Why
the Irish should have selected the harp as
their national emblem is not quite clear.
The Welsh, at all events, have an equal
claim to it. They have clung to the instru-
ment while in Ireland it has all but disap-
peared.
The Egyptian harps have no pillar and
We're played in II standing position, the
number of strings varying The Welsh
harp had nine strings for many centuries
and only single row. The double row
succeeded, and the present triple row per-
fected the instrument. 1t is said to have
been first noticed in the Fifth century.
Mercennus, in 1882, delineated the triple
harp. giving it four octaves, and in all sew
enty-five strings.
The celebrated Irish harp. of which we
give an illustration, has long been in the
family of Noah Dolway, Esq, of Bellahill,
Ireland. Every part of it is covered with
Inscriptions in Latin and Irish. 1t was
made A. ID. 1921. 1t contains twenty-four

The Breadfruit Tree.


The breadfruit tree is native of the
islands of the Pacific ocean and the Indian
archipelago, and grows to height of from
forty to fifty feet. An eastern writer de-
scribes the fruit of this tree as resembling
a muskmelon in shape and size. 1t is
attached to the branches by small, thick
stalk, and hangs either singly or in clus-
ters of two or three together. 1t contains
fibrous pulp, which when ripe becomes
juicy and yellow, but has then rotten
taste. At an earlier stage, when it is gath
cred for use, the pulp is white and mealy
and of a consistence resembling new bread
The method of preparing this fruit is to
cut it into pieces, take out the core, then
place heated stones in the bottom of a hole
dug in the ground. cover with green leaves
and upon these place layer of the fruit,
then stones, leaves and fruit alternately
\ill the whole is nearly filled, when leaves
and earth to the depth Of several inches
are spread over all. In rather more than
half an hour the breadfruit is ready for
eating. 1t has little taste, and more re-
sembles the plantain than bread made of
wheat flour. The inner bark of the bread
fruit tree supplies considerable part Of
the clothing of the islanders, and its tim
Der and milky juice are employed for eco
nomical purposes.

Gold from Many Countries.

Many Of our youthful readers doubtless
think that all gold is alike when refined.
Men of experience who handle much gold
can quickly tell from what part of the
world the quartz was mined from which
the gold piece was coined. Few grown
people know the real color of gold as the
metal is seldom seen except heavily alloyed,
which renders it redder in color than when
in its pure state. The gold found in the
natural state; Australian gold is redder
than that of California, while gold OBJ
tanned from the pIacers is redder than that
obtained from quartz. What causes these
different colors is one of the mysteries of
metallurgy.

Queer Notions Concerning Gems.

In early times some peculiar notions were
held regarding precious stones. The topaz
was prescribed to stop bleeding wounds
and to make the hurt light. The diamond
was advised for those who walk in their
sleep. The sapphire was recommended to
make the dull cheerful and bring perfec-
tion of health. The opal was thought good
for the eyesight. To the carbuncle be-
longed the credit of driving away evil spir-

A Wonderful Flower.

The horticultural Times tells of re-
markable flower that has been discovered
in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Its chief
popularity is its habit of changing its col
ors during the day. In the morning it is
white, when the sun is at its zenith it is
red and at night it is blue. The red, white
and blue flower grows on tree about the
size of guava tree, and only at noon does
it give out any perfume.
