WEXFORD.

The great wave Of depression in the
world of labor which has swept over the
United Kingdom is being keenly felt in
Wexford. The general observation in
this respect regarding Wexford is that
distress among tradesman and laborers
was never more widespread. The first
cause of this was the bad and late har-
vest; but since the crops have been gath
cred in, many reasons have arisen why a
town in which the shipping interest is Of
great Importance should suffer consider
ably. Freights were at the lowest ebb,
and all through the summer. when they
are naturally expected to touch bottom,
a higher figure was to be obtained than
at present. The freight paid from cross
Channel ports to Wexford last Summer
averaged 4s. Cd. per ton; at present the
most offered is As. 3d., and for portion of
the past three or four months it went as
low as As. Sd.

ONLY A WORKING GIRL

/ know I'm only working girl.
And I'm not ashamed to say
I belong to the ranks Of those that toll
For living day by day;
With willing feet press along
In the paths that must tread,
Proud that have the strength and skill
20 earn my daily bread.
I belong to the clover class
That's phrase we often meet
And there are some that sheer at working
girls
As they pass US on the street;
Yhey stare at us in proud disdain
And their lips in scorn will curl,
And sometimes we hear them say
"She's only working girl
Only working girl! Thank God:
With willing hands and he art.
Able to earn my daily bread
And in life's battle take my part;
You could offer me no title
would be more proud to own,
And I stand as high In the sight of God
As the Queen upon her throne.
Ye gentle folks, who pride yourselves
Upon your wealth and birth,
And look with scorn on those who have
Naught else but honest worth;
Your gentle birth we laugh to soorn,
For we hold this rs our creed
That mono are gentle save the one
Who does q gentle deed"
We are only the clover classes
But the Holy Scriptures toll
How, when the King of Glory
Game down on earth to dwell,
Not with the rich and mighty.
Meath costly palace dome,
Hut with the poor and lowly
He chose to make His home.
He was one of the slower classes
And had to toll for bread,
10 poor that often times He had
No place to lay His head;
He knows what it is to labor
And toll the long day through,
he knows how we get tired,
For He's been tired, too.
On working girls, remember
1t is neither crime nor shame,
70 work for honest wages
Since Christ has done the same:
And wealth and high position
Must seem of little worth
10 those whose fellow laborer
Is king of heaven and earth.
10 when you meet with scornful sneers
Just lift your heads in pride.
The shield of honest womanhood
Gan turn sues sneers aside,
And some day they will understand
Thut the purest brightest pearl,
Mid the gems of noble womanhood,
Is ''only working girl"

MAIO.
In the midst of all the distress, the alb
sentee landlords-the bloodsuckers of
the country-have inaugurated their
campaign of eviction. Mr.. Frank
O'Donsl, of Castlebar, agent over the
Kilasser tenantry, obtained at Swinford
DEGREES for ejeotment against a large
number of tenants up to over 9l0O. The
Kilasser tenantry are heavily rack
rented-their general rental being from
"a to 96; and their holdings are
wretohed patches of reclaimed bog and
mountain. The majority of the DEGREES
in the present instance, are for one years
rent. Those poor people have long been
weighed down under the yoke OF oppres-
sion and tyranny, and the climax has
been reached when, in year like tho
present, Mr.. O'Donel not only demands
his "pound of flesh" but heaps heavy
costs upon an impossible rent. f Mr..
O'Donel is so foolish as to start On an
evicting crusade, when his own friends
and eympathizers condenn 50 extreme .

probably the oldest man il Ireland, hav-
ing reached the advanced age Of 113
years. He was in possession Of all his
faculties up to his death, and could give
q stirring scoount Of his experience in
'98. He built the house in which he
lived, five years ago, and received no as
sistance in the drawing Of the material.
The roof was put up for him, at which
he assisted and gave directions. he put
thatch on the roof several times since
then, the last time nine month ago, re-
Eceiving no assistance except changing
the ladder on the roof. He worked at

got copy of his batism from the parish
of Currency, in which he was born.

charged Patrick Lahey, Of Norrison's
Road, with having stolen sum of ESQ

parel from James DAILY, publican, Bar
rack street. From the evidence, of which
very considerable amount was taken,

Days father-in-law, abstracted hand
bag which is alleged to have contained
over 978O from the death chamber of his
daughte14D Days wife(, who died on the
18th Of January. A large amount of

turned the prisoner for trial to the Spring

The ne spring jackets have wide,
full skirts to accommodate the enlarged
dress skirt. A hustle could easily be
worn with most of them.
Waists are inclined to be short and
are finished at the bottom with either
frill or soft folds of silk, and have
enormous dropping sleeves.
The fashionable skirt measures from
four to six yards around. and what is to
be done with skirt OF the latter width
excepting SoopslSirt is worn under it?
Belts and girdles are exceedingly
popular. Indeed. they are seen on cos
tunes for all occasions. from those for
the full dress function to the serge for
common wear.
The newest wells are of tulle dotted
or barred and have extremely narrow
black velvet ribbon run on in several
rows across the bottom and up the
ends. They are made to be worn over
a large hat.
Among the new silks are pretty
surahs, bengalines and merveiIleux
satins, with dots in a contrasting color.
They are made up into dressy toilets
that have full round skirt and low
cut corselet, with guimp and balloon
sleeves of plain silk the color of tbs
dot.
One OF the new colors of the season
is oriental red, which appears in most
of the new ia brics. 1t is a handsome
dye, between deep crimson rose and
a rich dshlia color. It IS alike becom.

Continued Popularity OF the Cape.

VI tno Nhpcs
The popularity of capes, single,
double and triple, will increase rather
than diminish. 1t is likely that they
will continue in favor for long time,
or as long at least as the immense
sleeves and voluminous shoulder trim
mings remain in vogue, as the cape
form is much more accommodating to
these than any coat or jacket, whose
smaller, heavier sleeves invariably
crush the more delicate ones of the
bodice. Thatthey will be in high favor
during the summer is already an estab-
lished fact, for capes of every style
made in silk, satin brocade, net and
lace are exhibited by all leading i'm
porters. The ease with which the
wrap can be put on and off is one great
reason for its popularity. Being in
many cases handsomely lined, its
fronts reveal a pleasing accentuation
of color. Then it is picturesque; it is
al economical garment, requiring little
material; in short, there are various
reasons to account for the favor in
which it is held, chief among them
being the fact that the present genera
ton has never before worn anything
like them in shape or style.

WALKING in CIRCLES.
Why /, 1t That Lost People InvarIabIe
m, I-I,Iaa

w
Do This?
The fact that people lost on desert
or in a forest Invariably walk in a cir
Gle is due to a slight inequality in the
length OF the legs Careful measure
ments of a series of skeletons have
shown that only ten per cent had the
lower limbs equal in length. thirty-fivc
per cent had the right limb longer
than he left, while in fifty-fve per
cent the left leg was the longer. The
result of one limb being longer than
the other will naturally be that a per-
son viii unconsciously take a longer
step with the longer limb, and conse-
quentiy will trend to the right or to
the left, according as the left CT right
is the longer, unless the tendency to
deviation is corrected by the eye.
The left leg being more frequently
the longer. as evidenced by measure
ment of the skeleton, the INCLINATION
should take more frequently to the
right than to the left, and this conclu-
sion is quite borne out by observations
made on n number of persons when
walking blindfolded. Further, on the
measurement of the arms. it is found
that in seyenty-two per cent the right
arm is longer than the left, while in
tNenty-four per cent the left arm is
the longer, showing that a considera-
BILE majority of persons are right
handed and left-legged. The Unequal
ity in the length of the limb is not con-
fined to any particular sex or race but
seems to be universal in all respects.

and that as her own signature was not
affixed to the deed the sale is void. She
has brought suit against the govern

any provision in the marriage contract
to the contrary, the Governments title
is perfect. The case is attracting great
