The Danger In Cheap Guns.

cheap watch keeps time in fashion, so
does the cheap gun perform. II will kill
birds fairly well for time If held
straight, but 1t will not stand continuous
use, and it may contain flaw or flaws
in the barrels, which the owners of II
may not detect until too late When the
cheap watch wears out and breaks, no
great harm can result, but when sham

that is another storyl

Celtle oIelanchcly or Jor.

In the Irish dirges and laments there
Is great similarity to the music of the
west highlands, only the Irish music
having been written in most instances
for the harp-which has all the notes of
the voice--is music of full and sweet
harmonies and has not the omissions
and Deficiencies of the pentatonic scale
in which all music for the pipes was
written. While the melancholy of the
Celtic people finds adequate expression
in these laments-plain i've. wailing airs,
something between recitative and mel
ody-another and not less characteristic
side of the Irish temperament is very
truthfully illustrated in their songs of
humor.
About these there is an inimitable raci-
ness, fresh and sparkling wit, spon-
taneous ring of chaff and fun. with
dash of chivalrous sentiment and an airy
hghtness which gives to them the unmis-
taxable Hibernian accent and to which
there is no exact counterpart in the
songs of England or Scotland. London

have made no attempt to patent their
ideas. A photographer conceived the
idea of the floating dock before the de.
