world, hoping to relieve their wants
by the widening of the market for
their goods. John Bright once said:
ireland is idle therefore she starves;
Ireland starves, therefore She rebels"
Mrs EIarts whole aim, as she declares,
is that at least her part of Ireland
shall not be idle. Armed only with
her untiring energies and warm
letter to all from the Archbishop of
Armagh, primate of all Ireland, she
has left her English home of luxury to
help the poor.
Anyone who has ever climbed the
steep pass of Glen Esh and crossed the
seemingly endless boys of Donegal
into Carrick will have no difficulty in
recognizing the buildings which Mrs.
Hart has erected in the llaisance.
Entrance is had through the far-famed
gates of st. Lawrence, built in the
thirteenth century. The interior is a
large court formed by cottages on each
side and an exact reproduction of
Donegal castle at the hack. In the
center all that landscape gardening can
do has been done to produce unique
effect. Around the edge of the walls
runs moat. and on its edge is reared
a tower 100 feet high copied after one
of the famous towers OF the
Emerald Isle, the history of
of which is only a speculation of the
antiquaries. Around these are planted
old vines and clinging moss, to which
when the warm weather comes will oe

the original article. In this court
yard are placed number of old stones
such as the pillar stone, Ogham hole
stone and others closely connected
with Ireland's early history.
The first cottage is occupied by
Gweedore girl who makes kell en-
broideries. This industry was called SO
because many of the designs are taken
of the old Celtic folk of "Kells" and
other early manuscripts. This cot
tage, like all the others, is an exact
reproduction of the Donegal cottage
where these home industries are daily
carried on. The visitor will see the

cottages, the pot hanging on the fire.

number eighteen, are pure Celtic
lasses. The next cottage is u carpen-

shown, and there is boy there who
carves in wood the drinking cups,
or neither, as they are called. Here
also are made the designs for the
Celtic crosses, and out in the courtyard

Superinte ndent Bonfield has sent

Cause of Measles.

Com menting on the fact that fifty.
two deaths had occurred In Bolton
from measles during the past month,
Councillor Entwistle said the cause
of measles was distinctly the eating
of swines flesh. Measles was distinctly
a swine's disc rder, and total abstin-
ence was required in order that meas
les might be suppressed. His argu-
ment was strongly supported by the
condition of the jew .sh community in
Manchester, among whom there was
perfeet freedom from that disease.
in Bolton, respectable people whose
houses were models of order and OF
sanitary condition, had the health and
the lives of their children endangered
because they had to mingle with the
children of other people who were
gross-fed and had their homes amid
insanit surroundings.

this will be done by telephone, and
the system that Superintendent Bon
field has perfected will be as effective
as it is unique. He has divided the
Exposition grounds into six districts.
and each district is subdivided into
two sections. There are two tele-
phones in each section, and compe-
tent man to attend to each phone.
The section is in command of Lieu

There is also telephone at each
entrance and exit. Every avenue of
approach, by street, railroad and the

central office.
