on. 1t is proposed, however in Chicago
to make the village still more representa-
tive of the hand-in dustries of Ireland.
These cottage industries are often
thought to be only small struggling eff
forts at work un0er the charitable fos-
ties. This is a mistake. They are in
fact original industries. planned on an
immense and elaborate scale by the
great shirt, underIinen, handkerchief and
embroidery firms of the north of Ireland !;
one tirm perhaps distributing work
throughout the counties Of Antrim, Derry,
and Donegal. / know, for fact. that one
million dozen pocket handkerchiefs
to be made by hand in a year,
and mainly for the American market.
This industry, however. has been nearly
destroyed by the Mckinley tariff, to the
great dismay and distress of the
Donegal peasant women, for these
industries are the whole support of hun
dreds and thousands of families in Ire
land. l hope that our village will bring
home to The American citizens some reall-
cation of how prosperity can be brought to
oppressed Irish homes by their purchasing
Irish goods"
But tell me. Mrs. Harte, more definitely
how all this exhibition is going to be made
Kindly give me some details"
''In the plan I have submitted to the
Chicago executive 1 have suggested an
Irregular street of seven cottages. At the
top, facing the pathway, will be the beau
tiful ruins of Donegal castle, and behind
the oriel windows of the banqueting hall
there will be room for sales, exhibitions,
etc. To the right of the castle viii be
found model dairy, where iced milk from
the famous Kerry cows, in the byre be-
hind, can be enjoyed on hot summer days.
An old mimic cross and well will give
picturesquenesS and interest to the
street. In each cottage will be shown
an industry carried on with the same
simple appliances. and by the very same
people, that one would see in snch cottages
in Ireland. Spinning, and dyeing from
bog nlants, and the weaving of the Hand
and-Heart homespuns of the Donegal in
dustrial fund.- will be special features.

kells embroideries, which have been
patroniZed by the queen and the Princess

The Science OF Campaigning.


Some of the shrewdest politicians be-
lieve that the science of campaigning will
be developed in the near future to such an
extent that each campaign committee will
be compelled to organize something like
bank or trust company, which shall
have contro, of its financial operations,
for they are getting to be so enormous
as 10 compel something different from
the comparatively irresponsible financial
management that has hitherto character
ICED the handling Of these funds.
Curiosity is sometimes expressed as TO
the payment of stump speakers. That
charge upon campa IN committee has
not increased propOrjionatelY with other
expenses. Many of the famous speakers
will not receive 4 cent. Senator C0nkIing
had such sense OF honor that
he not only refused all pay for
his stump speeches, bur would not accent
penny Tor his expenses, and ne was care

USEFULNESS OF DEAD LEAVES
II Left About the Tree They Reinvigorate
It and Protect It

II Left About the Tree They Reinvigorate
It and Protect It
St, Louis Post-Dispatch,l
Leaves do not fall from the trees until
their sap has entirely evaporated. They
contain at that stage no more nutritious
properties and they are of but little use if
gathered up. On the contrary, if left on tn
ground around the foot of the tree from
which they have fallen the dead leaves form
the best kind of shelter against cold for the
roots and the grass that grows at the base Of
the tree, which they cover as with porous
blanket, so to speak.
Retaining from so to "a per cent of water,
they form q reservoir for rain and snow,
gradually imparting this teound humidity
to the earth, which absorbs it by capillary
force. Even the color of the dead leaves
increases the absorbing power of the soil
for warmth and light, those two prime
factors of vegetation. Nor is this all. The
roots of the tree which draw from the soil
constantly their necessary sustenance would
soon gradually SO impoverish the latter that
no nutritious substances would remain, if
in turn the decomposing leaves did not
make sufficient restitution. The forests
where vegetation is always vigorous
through a constantly reinvigorated soil, are
the most striking example OF the immense
full part which dead leaves play in the
natural economy of vegetable life.
1t is wise, therefore, in cities, the streets
of which are lined with shade trees, not to
sweep the dead leaves from under them,
but allow them to gather around the tree
boxes, where they will form natural COW
erlet for the roots against the winters cold
and a drainage reservoir from which the
tree draws its alimentation and humidity.

cans are fetichists, that is, worshipers OF IN
animate objects, is utterly false. The An
golaps have the same religious system as
the Bantus generally. They are not IDOL
aters in the strict sense, nor polytnelsts,
and much less atheists, but suPerstltlons
deists. They believe in one great COD,
who made and maintains all things, 1nVlsi-
BILE, yet seeing even the thoughts OF men,
the author of all the good, but also OF
much of the suffering. They generaily
think that God is angry with mankind ana
Indifferent to the details OF their daily lie.
They do not formally worship God, nor
represent Him by any image, nor do they
believe He is contained in any fetch. The
only carved image which the Angolans call
God is an imitation of the crucihx, and
they clearly state that this is the white
mans God, not the God of the universe.
A Number of Inferior Spirits.
What travellers generally call African
gods are not gods at all, but inferior spirits,
to whom God has lntrusted the adm1nistra-

spirits ana tha shades of the deceased are
the supernatural beings whom the natives
fear and serve. With them they converse

and sacrifices. and to them they attribute

Europe.

master to give him his liberty as he passes

The Angolans do not seem to have any

authors of their own good or bad fortune.
