IRISH LEARNING IN ANCIENT TIMES.

| THE IRISH ELEMENT IN MEDIAEvAL CULTURE.
| by H. thinner; TRANSLATED BY Jane L Lr Ed
1t would not be easy to find more compact state
| ment OF the debt which Western medieval Europe
owed to Irish monks than this little book contains.
The matter has been long obscured In the minds
Of many people by prejudice Of race, political Ill
temper and religious misconceptions. Political con-
rOverses have always increased instead Of lessened
the antagonisms Of these and their mutual
Ignorance Of each other. Through many ages the re-
lation OF ancient Irish rlstany to the Roman Sec
was debated rather with the fervor Of partisanshp
than with the deliberate purpose of stating only the
facts. The conclusions OF this book are that the
Christianity Of ireland and of Britain before the In
vasion OF the Saxons owed far more TO Syria than 1t
owed TO Rome The monasticsm and eremitism Of
tho Celts OF the Far West shown to bear close
comparison with those OF Asia, and to be In marked
contrast to the development of similar Ideas under
the rule OF the Latin Church The fact Is emphasized
that even after the Saxons had become devoted ad-
herents of Rome, the Brons and the Irish maintained
their religious independence.
The book Is as important for what It leaves unsad
as for what says One may search the text in vain
for the name OF st. Patrick though he will. Indeed,
find it mentioned In the notes Historical reality is
conceded only 10 the Patricius who fouitshed early
in the thirteenth century. This omission attests the
dubious nature Of the legend OF st. Patrick; and 1t
is equally good evidence OF the judicial spirit in which
the author has worked. There Is one point, how
ever on which he speaks with less reserve than many
other good scholars would malntainthe Greek learn
ing OF Irish monks and ecclcslastcs. This is still,
unfortunately, open question: There Is some
direct evidence which shows limited knowledge OF
Greek among Irish scholars. The Indirect evidence
by which 1t is sought to expand this limited acquan-
lance into something comparable to modern learning Is
weak enough. For example, the remark is made that
Virgil OF Salzburg, because he was aware that the
earth was sphere and Inhabited on all Sides must
have been conversant with Greek literature, and
probably familiar with the doctrine OF Eudoxus and
Eratosthenes to the spherical form OF the earth"
But Virgil could have learned all this from TWO Latln
books familiar throughout the Middle Ages, one OF
which, the work OF Martjanus Capella, owes It's mod
ern fame TO the fact that 1t vaguely anticipates
the system OF Copernlcus. The other, which was
comment by Macroblus the "Dream OF scipo,'
enlarged upon the belief that the world round and
that the antipodes were inhabited.

There rings within rings. The stolen wealth Of
the ringsers made them defiant They were resolved
to fight to the last gasp. and with whatever weapons

proceedings against the thieves, they put forth their
influence to suppress the inquiry. Brides, menaces

resorted TO TO battle The Government. Mr. Brewster
had been called TO help the Administration, and while
the proceedings were going on he became Attorney
General. Under his vigorous and relentless measures
obstacle after obstacle TO Justice overcome a
of evidence was gathered by the Government
which was conclusive and overwhelming. Garfield had,
before the pistol OF Guiteau closed his career, told
Brewster TO push the prosecutions. This was his
decision In answer to serious representations pointing
to the political danger OF such course 1t Is to his
lasting honor that he declared for justice regardless OF
the consequences and the same may be said OF Arthur
who on his accession simply confirmed the directions Of
his predecessor and held resoutely to this position
in spite Of enormous pressure from the friends Of the
guilty men.
These finally escaped punishment by the almost
open purchase Of vedcts. but the leak in the Treasury

possible in the future and the men who had been at

All in the Family.

There is one family in the English no.
bllity which "goes in" strongly for
literature, if Edward w. Box correctly
represents it. That is the family of the
Earl of Aberdeen. About two years
ago, the Countess, his wife, started an
association for the uplifting Of the En-
glish working girls, and, to spread her
cause, she began the publication of a
monthly magazine. She called it On
ward and Upward, and of it she has
already made financial success. The
titled editor writes more than $1,000
words in her magazine each month, and
writes we'll. Her zeal stimulated the
interest of her husband, and now the
Earl of Aberdeenis sub-editor and pub
Usher of the magazine, taking charge of
all the "copy" of each number and deal
ing with the printers and paper men.
Then the little 9-year-old daughter
of the Aberdeen household became in
terested in her mothers editorial work,
and, to satisfy her ambition, Lord Aber
deem started separate little periodical
for his daughter. This is known as Wee
Willie Winkie, named not for Kipling's
story, but for Miller's famous ballad.
This little sixteen-page magazine for
children now comes out promptly each
month, 'under the editorship of Lady
Marjorie Gordon, aged g." and a more
cleverly made-up paper one can scarce
ly imagine. Lady Aberdeen only casu-
ally assists her daughter i'll her role as
editor

No Two Alike.

To sailor every vessel is an individ-
ual ship, says Maine newspaper. No
two vessels, not even Of the same class,
are alike to him. The man who keeps
a lookout in the Portland observatory
can recognize over 100 different vessels
that belong to that port the minute he
sees them 20 miles away through his
telescope. He says there are no two
vessels that ever were alike IN shape or
rig.
F'You see the back of friend on the
street some distance away and you
know him by the cut OF his j 10" he
SAYS. This is almost literally true IN
the case of vessels.
An old sailor sees the difference with
out always being able to explain just
where it lies. Just as soon as the man
in. the observatory recognizes vessei
he telephones down to the owners that
their vessel is in sight and will be at the
dock at such time. Long experience
has enabled nim to estimate 1t to within
five minute, at least.
Quite as remarkable is the tact that
the Western Union Observer at ERE
Island can identify any one OF the IN
coming ocean steamers as soon as ne
can get a glimpse at the spars and top.
masts. He has never been puzzled out
once, and then because steamer hao

SAMUEL TILDEN.

Samuel Tilden was the ablest lawyer
of his age. His services in great law
suits were so well recognized that it
was made a matter of reproach against
him when he ran for the Presidency !;
but when he came to draw up his own
will he could not frame it so that it
would stand the fire of the courts. He
wished to leave great library to the
city of New York, but his will has Just
been declared broken and his estate
will be divided among his legal heirs.
This shows that even great men make
mistakes when it comes to attending to
their own affairs. How many men take
cold and neglect it until it is too late
and then suffer all the rest of their lives
and spend fortune in vain effort to
recover that which they lost? REDS
GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE
will heal the worst cold and cure the
afflicted of the result of getting wet and
being exposed to the fury of the ele-
ments. For sale by all druggists.
