Bulls In the Irish Commons.

There seems to have been an enor-
nous quantity of bulls perpetrated in
the Irish house of commons during Che
last years of its existence. We read that
in 1895, in the course of a debate on the
leather tax, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer. Sir John Parnell, observed that
Sin the prosecution of the present war
every man ought to be ready to give his
last guinea to protect the remainder"
Mr.. Vandeleur said that "however that
might be, tax on leather would press
heavily on the barefooted peasantry of
Ireland" to which Sir Boyle Roche re-
piled that this could be easily removed
by making the underleathers Of wood.
Speaking in favor of the union, Sir
Boyle said that one of its effects would
be that the barren hills would become
fertile Valleys" In another debate he
said, II boldly answer in the affirmative
no" In mentioning the Cape he de-
clared that "myrtles We're so com,non
there that they make birch brooms of
them" He once mentioned some peo-
pie who "were living from hand to
mouth like the birds of the air." To Sir
Boyle Roche also is attributed the Dor
tentous warning, "You should refrain
from throwing open the foodgate3 of
democracy lest you should pave the way
for general confagration. Seventy

SHE MADE THE MONEY FLY.
A Greek Princess Who Rapidly Ran
Through n Fortune of ss25 900 600

Through a Fortune of S25 100000.
The Princess Ypsilanti, who died in
Vienna few days ago, belonged to one
of the Oldest families in Austria and
was born in Vienna, March 10, 1915. Fer
father was the late Baron Sina Won Ilo-
dos and Kizdia, and her mother a men,
Der of the famous Roumanian family of
Ghika. Baron Sina was the son of
George Siaa, the wealthiest banker in
Vienna. Baron Sina received on ais
fathers death 100000 forms, or s;i5,-
100000. This immense sum was diviCed
on the death of Baron Sina between ais
three daughters, each receiving nearly
SIS 100000. One of the daughters m ar
ried George Mavrocordato, member of
one of the noblest families of Gree ce.
The second married the speudthrift Luc
de Castries, a relative of the late Mar
shall MacMahon of France.
The third daughter, Helene, Nov %,
1862, when she was about II years old,
married Prince Gregory Ypsilanti, a ma
tive of Espirus and son of Demetr us
Ypsilanti, whose valorous deeds during
the Greek revolution made the name of
Ypsilanti famous throughout the world.
During the siege of the city of NaupIia,
Demetrius, with small body of GREEKS,
one night sailed forth and attacked the
enemy, creating such terror among the
Turks that they raised the siege the next
day.
Prince Gregory Ypsilanti was The
Greek envoy in Vienna for many years,
He was man of independent means as de
from the great fortune brought to him
| by his wife, and served his country for
honor alone, refusing all compensat on
for his duties as its diplomatic represent
ative in Austria.
Prince Gregory Ypsilanti died in Psris
Feb. 20, 1886, and was succeeded as head
of his family by his eldest son, Prince
Emmanuel, who is now lad of l6.
Three weeks after his death the bank
ruptcy of the princess was announced, to
the amazement of the aristocratic cir
Giles of Vienna and Athens. Prince
Gregory had been man of apparently
quiet and retiring disposition, but he
and his wife had managed to get rid OF
$25, 000,0 in 10 years, and the widowed
princess found herself 81 100000 in debt

The Ideal Newspaper Again.

Walter Morton Payne, associate ed
itor of The Dial, thinks he knows what
it ought to be. Like most gentlemen
who live upon an exalted moral plane and
edit weekly religious or aesthetic papers,
Mr.. Payne knows exactly the needs of
a daily newspaper. He tells US in The
Forum. Most men know more about
editing a daily paper before they have
tried it than they ever do afterward.
Many of Mr.. Payne's ideas are good,
however. For instance, he says to the
editor: Don't lie. Don't use illiterate
English. Don't pander to the tastes of
the depraved." That is very good, but
many will disagree with the gentleman
when he declares that a newspaper, Ito
be avowedly partisan, must abandon self
respect altogether" Much better are
the three aims he lays down as those
which lie behind the conduct of every
well conducted newspaper:
First-As collector of news, pure and SIM
pie, its work should be done in the scientific
spirit, placing accuracy of statement above all
other considerations.
Second--In its selection and arrangement of
the news thus collected it should have regard
to real rather than sensational values. 1t
should present its facts in their proper perspec-
tive (which is still, of course, a very different
perspective from that required by permanent
history, and it should carefully exclude, or
at least minimize to the utmost, those facts
which it cannot possibly benefit the public to
know, or of which the knowledge is likely to
vulgarize popular taste and lower popular
standards of morality.
Third-In its comment upon the happenings
of the day or the week it is bound to be hon
est, to stand for well defined principles, to ex-
press the sincere convictions of its intellectual
head and Of those associated with him in the
work

ruin the medical profession and revolu-
tionixe the art OF healing and curing.
Physicians Of various schools took up
with the new cura we agency, and the
lame were reported to walk and the deaf
to hear by mere exercise or transfer Of
will-power. Very much less Of all this
Is heard now. and several physicians who
advocated the new system are taking
back or explaining away their state
ments. The reason is the distinctly
temporary nature OF the cures by hyp-
motto agency. Almost any disease with
nervous origin can be relieved by hyp-
notism, but the benefit is purely tenn.
porary In cases that have come under
my notice. and the difficulty is a person
who has been helpeu by hypnotism once
will not be benefited materially by q
second operation or application. do
not speak as sceptic, because 1t has al

accredited facts, but there are many In.

: citizens committee at Altoona, Pa,
has set an example that ought to be fol-
lowed in every well to do town in Amer
lea this winter. The members of the
committee and their friends pledge
themselves to subscribe collectively
5000 a month during the next five
months for the relief of the deserving
poor of their city. The relief is not,
however, to be distributed in mere char
ity, to destroy the self respect and hab-
its of industry of the recipients. 1t is to
be paid to married men for working on
the cit streets and quarries. Regular
wages will be paid for regular DAYS
work, Altoona will be improved all
over, and the families of the men will
be supported comfortably through the
dreary winter. The plan ought to be
extended. City streets need to be put in
order. The country roads of America
are something to be ashamed of daily
and hourly. If the poor men out of en-
ployment can be hired by rich men who
have money to spare to build decent
roads in the country, then all of us will
be happy. Rich men can thus do better
with their spare money than in buying
fast horses just now.

THE
One Hundred Thousand Enough.

oht
Expert opinion is to the effect that it
requires 100000 year to live suitably
in the social swim of New York city,
without extravaganza or ostent0tion. A
man must keep at least l2 hors, all for
purposes Of pleasure, with carriages,
grooms and stablemen in swarm,
There must be a servant maid for each
one of the children, to dress them and
wait on them at every turn, If there are
grown daughters, each one must have
her own maid, so that she herself does
not so much as mend a tear in her gown.
The governess for the small children gets
$40 month, while the cook gets $75 a
month at the very least, and is much
more respected and feared than the gov
erness is. There must be two hall boys
to answer thedoor bell, and each of them
is paid nearly as much as the governess.
There must be butler, with several
assistants, and these lord it over the
800, 900 household.
Result of all this expenditure-thereis
not hole or corner in the mansion safe
from the eye and ear of a spying hire
ling. The children of the family willbe
brought up for all purposes of real life
much as if they had had their arms tied
fast to their bodies in infancy and never
had them loosed. Of what use on this
earth is a human being who cannot even
dress himself? Queen Victoria's daugh-
tiers We're not brought up so foolishly
helpless as many silly and snobbish
American parents are bringing up their
girls. The royal princesses We're taught
to wait upon themselves so that they at
least know how to do so, and each was
made to learn some useful occupation.

In the Middle of the Road.

The opinion is expressed that since
Russia is jealous of England's prestige
in Asia, and France is jealous of her
progress in Africa, particularly in Egypt,
those two nations would alike welcome
any pretext to make trouble for her.
Then, in the spirit of the kissing picnic
at Toulon, they would join their fleets
and give her good drubbing, making
common cause against the ancient foe of
EACH 1t is believed in some quarters
that it would please France and Russia
to give England such drubbing even
better than to fight the triple alliance.
In case of such war, it is said that Eng
land could no longer hold herself isolated
from continental politics, but would be
forced to side with the triple alliance,
and the war would become general.
Nothing could please Germany, Italy
and Austria better, therefore, than to
see England attacked by France and
Russia.
France is brave and generous repub-
lie, and our friend--Russia stood our
friend when no other nation in Europe
did during the civil war and literally
prevented foreign intervention in our
affairs. On the other hand, the sympa-
thies, interests and characteristics of the
great English speaking brotherhood of
nations in EurOne in America and in
Australia must run together and be as
one. The nations that speak English
are one race, and ties of blood draw them
close together as one family. Which
side would have our sympathy and NOR
al support in case of war between Great
Britain on one side and France and Rus
STA ON the other? Well, neither. The
United States would keep in the middle
of the road. But we would regret very
much to see such war.

years l never saw a well day. When taken

to IS pounds. Was taken by spells of vomit-

times it was more than could bear. took
morphine to help the pain, but began to
fail; had every doctor in Rockport, and the
last one, DIR. Abbott, said, as the rest had,
that he could do no more for me. He gave
me up to die, and told my husband that
could not live, he had done all he could for
me.
A friend advised me to try Aliens Sarsa.

I began to see it helped me. My neighbors
could hardly credit my story, but nevertheless
it is true; IT CURED ME-.

you the same story that do here, and testify
what Aliens has done for me. My children
