Football in Ireland may be said to
consist of three parts -Rugbeian, As
sociationist and Gaelic. The rule Of
play in these organizations has been
defined as follows: In Rugby, you
kick the ball; in Association, you
kick the man if you cannot kick the
ball, and in Gaelic you kick the ball
If you cannot kick the man. This
puts the present procedure and posi-.
ton of the rival devotees into nut
shell. The Associationists are mainly
confined to Belfast, where they form
body which it would be as difficult
to convict of professionalism as 1t
would be for them to prove that they
are amateurs.
The Gaels are free and festive

quarters at Clonturk park, Drumcon
dra, County Dublin. This park is
conveniently situated between Glas-
nevin graveyard and the Mater Mi
sericordia hospital. Aman has been
known to pass from the football field
direct to the hospital, and from the
hospital to the cemetery, another
match being then got up to raise
funds for the benefit Of next of kin,
thus running the risk Of killing a few
more for the benefit Of the deceased.

II was on the deck Of a London bound
steamer, and several passengers were
leaning against the railing talking about
shooting.
One young man remarked that he had
once killed two wild ducks on the wing
with one shot. II suppose 1t was an nc
cident," he said, "but I'll admit that
take d good deal of credit to myself for
being q clever shot,"
"That's nothin," remarked q tall
6footer as be thrust his hands into his
pockets and lazily shifted his position.
"Why, one time out in the sand hills
got into fight with one Of them air
sorghum lappers. It was over gal. Of
course She was in for the winnin man.
Well, a. I started to say, we chose posi-
tions, aimed, and when the word war
given fired. Isuppose you would hardly
believe It," he added, narrowly eyins
the last speaker, "but, gentlemen, we
was both that air good shots that our
bullets met and fell to the ground"
The other members Of the group looked
ct the tall man silently for moment OF
two. Then one by one they stole bach
into the cabin, and the crack sportsman
was left to gaze at the waves refectively.

To Catch Trout with a Cabbage Leaf.

The time for this delightful sport
should be the height of summer. Sc
lect trout pool and provide your
self with very large cabbage leaf,
which place ON the bosom of the pool,
anchoring it by means of string
and plug of lead close to the bank.
The trout in the pool are very fond
of sunshine. but they dread the July
heat.
Seeing. however, what appears to
be large translucent green umbrel
la, MIR. and Mrs. Trout and Troutlings
come up to the surface and bask be

you shoot them with a fowlng piece,
being careful to use only No. z shot,
in order not to lacerate the beauteous
skin of the fish. Have ready bakers
peel, with very long handle, to land
your trout. They only want broiling
at once and require no sauce except
hunger. -Sala's Journal.

A singular Amietion and Recovery.

A remarkable instance of loss of a
faculty is that of physician, who in
boyhood found himself suddenly de-
prived of the power Of speech. He
was a man Of middle age and robust
appearance. His hearing was perfect,
and he could understand all that was
said, but his replies wero always COM
municated by pencil and paper. One
day this physician announced that
the power Of speech had returned as
suddenly as it had originally left him.
He added that he was entirely unable
to ascriber the recovery to any cause,
and Sir William Dalby confesses that
his experience does not enable him
to offer any explanation London

The fifst day of the week should
im called sonday IN honor Of him
III whose remembrance the day is
celebrated.
A large class ~ our fellow citizens.

lians, even now prefer TO call u "the
Lords day" rather than any other
pame. and this Ia the shortest way

ence. for the Son" is the Lord Jesus
Christ
Our Lord said For the Son Of
Man is Lord also Of the Sabbath"
The Sabbath is part Of his heritage,
and therefore really is the Sons day
The day used to he called this In
old English times, when the word
wasspelled "Sonneday. and IL WIS 80
called In old German. where, ever
and anon. the day Is found spelled
'Sohenday"
The Phunician origin of the usual
name of the day, as being appropri
ated 10 the worship Of the sun, as
Monday was that Of the moon, has
been disputed in behalf of Persia,
where the fire god was also wor
SHIPPED, and also in behalf Of other
countries and isles of the sea.
But in either case the name Sun
day is heathen and ought not to be
tolerated in Christian lands.
It Is true that Christ is the ''Sun
Of Righteousness, according to the
prophet Malachi, but the reference
of the origin of the name Of Sunday
to the worship of Bel, or Rah, or the
sun. Is so imbedded in the language
that an attempt to twist the name
Sunday into reference to the Sun
of Righteousness" and thus make 1t
applicable to Messiah. would be a
hopeless task.
The calendar ought to be reformed
now no less than in Julius Caesars
time--reforlned as to the daily no

no longer perpetuate the remem'

ship of Wooden; Thursday of Thor;
Saturday of Saturn, and 30 on. All
these names ought to be consigned
to limbo, and other and appropriate
names should be given to each day
of the seven in useful attempt to-
unshackle mems minds from the
domination of false notions.
And yet the new names ought not
to be too great departure from the
present accepted nomenclature, for
the people could not easily learn and
adopt an entirely different set OF
names.
It might encourage legitimate mar
riage and Gods beneficent institu-
ton of the family if Tuesday were
to be called Twosday, and if Wednes-
day were to be called Weddingsday.
Saturday should be changed to Sab

But we are not now proposing an
Improvement in the whole list--per
haps some other hand will do this.
We are only proposing a reform as
to one day which can be accom-
plished by the least amount Of
change. It is simply to close the top
of the u. The proposed change phil
ologically and etymologically only
amounts to part of one vowel
making into o--and yet, morally,
the change from sun to son is the
change from heathenism to Chris
tianity.

good reason can be urged against
this change. New York Mail and
