dressed a demonstration of working
men at Qundalk yesterday and made .
strong appeal for their support He
dilated upon the stupidity of trying to
quarrel with England after all the
trouble and time that had been occu-
pied in securing her friendship. It was
terrible thing to ask Ireland, with her
steadily dwindling population to break
with Mr.. Gladstone at the risk of
postponing home rule for another de-
cade. Mr.. Redmond could not pretend
that Ireland would unite under his
leadership
If this spirit of faction was permitted
to spread. the speaker said. before two
years were over they would have Is
many parties as there were Irish MEM
bers and be in the same position as
they were fifteen years ago, when
every man was for himself. No success
was possible while the minority refused
to be governed by the majority.
LONDON. Oct 26.-Mr Gladstone has
his Irish home rule bill in such definite
form that he can. at any moment, place
1t before parliament The bill gives
the proposed Irish legislature more
power than the bill Of 1885. It retains
the lower and upper houses of the Irish
parliament vests the appointment of
the judiciary in the Irish executive and
maintains a larger representation of
Ireland in the imperial parliament.

Tsefors learning IL Language.

Some students begin a language for
the mere love Of knowing foreign
tongues; others acquire them either for
professional purposes or with the aim Of
gaining access to foreign literatures.
But whatever be the motive it is well to
set out with some knowledge of the
science Of language-sOme insight into
the relations of languages to each other
O grasp of the theories Of modern
scholars about the origin and develop
ment Of speech. To learn language
without knowing anything of the science
of language is like acquiring the art Of
putting up electric fixtures without any
knowledge of the principles of electrical
science.
To approach it, on the other hand,
from the standpoint of universal prin-
ciples is to make the study of it easier
and progress in any particular tongue
much more rapid. By knowing, for ex-
ample, the laws of censOnantal inter
change, we may often discover the
meaning Of words without being obliged
to refer for them to the dictionary. In
this way every new language learned
makes mor easy the requirement Of
other tongues Of the same or of allied
stocks. Boston Herald.

a "Reminiscences of Carlyle.

MI. Robert Harrison, who has beer
librarian of the London library for more
than thirty-four years in the curse o.
his presidential address at the Librarians
conference at Nottingham, gave some
interesting "reminiscences Of Carlyle, who
was accustomed to frequent the library
He said: "Carlyle often visited the Ii
brary. His conversation was most anus
ing, full Of e~xtravagant and exaggerated
statements, and always ending with {
loud laugh, apparently at himself. He
used the library books extensively fol
his later works, and was guilty of the
reprehensible practice of writing on the
margin of the books. must admit thai
his remarks were never meaningless, but
chiefly consisted of corrections of date o.
errors in the text.
Zone Romark of his, however, which
was pretty well known, was a criticism
1t occurred in Charles Dibdin's collection
ofsongs, the last pageof which contained
the ordinary version of Rule Britannia.
At the foot Of this boastful song Carlyle
had written 'Cock-a-dOodle-doo,' with 6
small forest Of notes of exclamation
after it. In a case like that the librarian
would be a martinez, indeed, if he effaceG
from the book an expression SO charac.
t~eristic Of the man Of genius who wrote
it."-Pall Mall Gazette.

Didn't Lose Much.

One day a gentleman named Fleming
called on Mr.. c., and both being mem.

drifted in that direction.

Now Mr.. c., who was somewhat
deaf, failed to hear the last remark, and
said, emphatically, "Well you didn't
lose much" referring, of course, to the
meeting of the society.
When Miss c., who was present,
explained the situation, her father was
overwhelmed with shame, and made
most humble apologies. Fleming under
stood at once, and had no thought of be
ing offended, as Mr.. c. was known tc

Unsafe Money to Carry.

My father was once with his ship at
Rangoon. One day during a heavy
thunderstorm he was driving in a cab to
his agents, when he saw a ''coOlie'
porter) drop down in the street. He got
out OF the cab at once and went to the
man, but he was dead. There was a
burned patch in his waistcloth, on the
right side, and some blackened copper
''pice" lay on the ground. The man had
just received them for carrying a load,
and, as the clothes Of the poorer natives
of India and Burmah have no pockets,
he had twisted them into his waistcloth,
and this money must nave attracted the
lightning. But the most curious part of
it was that the queens head on n Of
the coins was clearly impressed on his
side. and even the words Queen Vic
toria" were clearly de6ned.-London Tit

The Cultivation of English Walnuts.


Great success is being made with the
cultivation Of English walnuts in Cali.
fornia. It is believed that they can be
produced proftably in the eastern states
as soon as more experience is had in the
fertilizing Of the flowers. This is always
a great difficulty, and it has been found
on the Pacific coast that a very effective
remedy for it is to plant among the trees
black walnuts, or even the common but
ternuts. They are all cousins and the
plentiful pollen of the butternut or blacl
walnut trees fertilizes the blossoms Of
the English walnuts, which would not
otherwise be impregnated.
Before very long this country will be
shipping English walnuts abroad, and
the same is likely to be the case with al;
monds. OF the latter very big crops are
now produced in California and Arizona,
They require a dry climate. East Of the
Rocky mountains they do not DO well,
because Of the frosts and dampness.-

FOR COLDS AND IAG2iPPE
Use Kings Royal Germetuer

Wherever the test has been made there
is no questioning the fact that Germetuer
will cure LaGrippe in all forms and at
all stages. Taken OF the first symptoms
it will prevent a severe attack taken
when the disease has you fast in its
clutches it will break its grasp; taken
after the disease has left you disabled it
will remove the effects.
DE-. p. S. HENSON, of Chicago, after
using one bottle, talks as follows:
IAN almost fatal attack Of LaGrippe,
last winter, left me with nasal catarrh
and such susceptibility to bronchial irri-
tatiOn that the slightest exposure would
develop it, and a very little effort III pub
lie speaking would result in a distressing
hOarsenesS, so that had serious fears of
permanent disability.
Besides, | suffered with dyspeptic
troubles-notably what is popularity
known as heart burn from which |
found it difficult to obtain relief. | was
induced by a friend to try Kings Royal
Germetuer, and it gives me great pleas
ure to say that its effect has been as
magical as 'Koch's Lymph is reported
to be, which is also a germ destroyer
though taken in a different way.
"Catarrh, bronchial irritation and dys
pepsia have all disappeared before one
bottle of Germetucr has been used.
Zone of my sons, who has long been a
sufferer from catarrh, has received like
signal relief from his old enemy
A prominent physician of Atlanta, Ga ,
after giving it a thorough trial on attack
of cold almost equal to L~aGrippe, said
that he did not believe that Germetuer
would cure every thing, but he KNEW
that it would cure a bad cold.
In cases of fevers attending colds it
will remove the cause If your druggist
cannot furnish you, send direct to Kings
ROYAL Germetuer Co, Atlanta, Ga, and
the medicine will be sent, freight or eX-
press prepaid. Price 81 per bottle If a
preparation claiming to be Germetuer is
offered to YOU for less, you nave reason
to suspect hat it is a cheat. Every family
should keep a bottle of Germetuer on
hand for immediate use on the first symp-
toms of disease.

The Food Supply Is Measureiess.

The fundamental mistake out of which
grew the gloomy doctrines of the older
theorists was in measuring the p~ossibili-
ties of production by what they knew of
soil culture. Science had not revealed
to them that, aside from proper telnpera-
ture and moisture, the essential factor
in vegetable production is plant food.
that this may be given to the plant with
out the aid of the soil; that what they
understood by soil fertility is a compare
production; that, in short, the p~ossibili-
ties of the food supply in the future are
measureless. Professor Atwater in Cen

she Cabmau Was Afraid.

Mr.. Walter Besant tells the following
story Of a disputed cab fare: "A friend
of mine drove from Piccadilly to some
place in the suburbs outside the radius.
On getting down he rendered three shil-
lings and sixpence for his fare-this was
a little over the proper fare. The driver
wanted five shillings. The passenger re-
fused. I'd like to fight you for it, said
the driver. The very thingr cried my
friend, who had never in his life put on
a boxing glove, and was almost as ig-
norant as Mr.. Pickwick even Of the fight
ing attitude. The very thing! Capital!

and see fair play The cabman got
down slowly.

STONE FIGHTS IN cOREA.
An Oriental Pastime That Must Be At.
tended with Great Danger.

An Oriental Fastime That Must Be At.
tended with Great Danger.
Kite flying, which is universal in this
country, ceases suddenly on the 18th OF
the first Corean month, and the next day
stone fights take its place as the chief
pubic amusement. In the eastern part
OF Seoul, the capital, there are large
open spaces that have not been built
upon, and here occur the most serious
and interesting fights. One section Of
the city is pitted against another, but
any one can take a hand on either side
at pleasure. There are no recognized
leaders, but the mass of fighters readily
follows the lead of any one who shows
himself to be a little more reckless than
the rest.
Two mobs, consisting of fifty, seventy
or a hundred men each, are drawn IN
against each other, with an interval Of
perhaps fifty yards between them. There
IS an incessant shower Of stones, and
each mans business is to hit as MANY
men as he can, and especially to avoid
all the stones directed at him. From
ten to twenty men on each side are
80 4 ILccS NA"Do "L4I wear luiCh
wadded helmets. These form the Skin
mishing line. They sally out from their
respective sides and, meeting in mid
career, strike out viciously at each
others heads, each man holding I'D his
cloak with his left hand as a shield to
ward off the blows of his adversary.
After the club fight has lasted about
thirty seconds one or the other begins
to give way, which is the signal for a
rush Of the others. Almost invariably
the other side breaks and runs, and
sometimes are chased into their houses.
but generally some of the pursuing
party press too closely on the fugitives.
Then the latter suddenly turn and deal
a few staggering blows, which check
the pursuers, and in a few seconds the
tables are turned, and those who a mo-
ment ago are flushed with victory are
now in full flight with their enemies.
Thus he battle goes back and forth
across the fields, while the neighboring
embellishments are crowded with specta-
tors. The effect Of the laundering
cheers OF the spectators upon the com
batants is marvellous.
lLey charge upon eacn Otner as II III
actual battle, and show what would be
bravery if exerted in some useful cause.
Near the river are numerous villages
numbering from 100 to 500 houses each.
They are situated along the banks at in
tervals of about half a mile. These keep
up a continual series of fights among
themselves during the season, one vii
lage being arrayed against the other.
The defeated party fly across the marshy
field to their own village, followed by
their enemies, who enter after them,
Selling anything on which they can lay
their hands-iron files, doors-to mark
their victory. Then the whole village
rises against the invaders, and they fly,
glad if they a get back without broken
heads.
The first stone fight of the season was
rather more disastrous than usual. It is
reported that six men were killed; but
this is probably an exaggeration. A
company Of soldiers were ordered out to
stop it, which they found some difficulty
in doing with fixed bayOnets.-Japanese
