THE OLD IRISH PARLIAMENT.

Last Scenes When it Was Occupied Hun
dred Years Ago.
-. Ali the Year Round: The old Parlia-
ment House in Dublin is still standing
on College Green, it's graceful classic
columns relieving the dark and heavy
facades of the adjacent buildings Of
Trinity College. Though the Parlia-
ment itself ceased to exist with the begin
ming of the present century, should any
of it's old members obtain leave to visit
once more these glimpses of the moon,
he would find himself fairly well at home
in the precincts of the house, while he
would not be startled out of his ehostly
propr!ety by any marvellous changes in
the general aspect Of the Irish metropo-
lis. Like the enchanted. palace in the
fairy tale, the city seems to have en-
joyed hundred years. trance, troubled
perhaps, now and then, by uneasy
dreams. The scene is all there ready to

was deputy United States marshal for
northern Wisconsin and also served as
city detective under Mayor Pattison.
Last fall he worked very hard to secure
the election of his brother Mike as sher-

he never recovered. He went to Color

his friends. It was expected had he
lived that he would have succeeded at
the end of his term Frank W. Oakley as
United States marshal FOR the Western

Special to the Irish Standard.

Special to the Irish Standard.
Decoration Day was celebrated in a
very appropriate and patriotic manner,
the matter being taken in hand by the
Catholic Church. Father McCabe, of st.
Paul, delivered the sermon at mass. The
words of love and tribute to America
and her dead heroes, which emanated
from the lips of Father McCabe, found
an answering echo in the hearts of every
one. After mass large procession
wendell their way to the cemetery and j.
F. Mcdonald spoke at great length to
the large assemblage. The veterans OF
Waverly and Montrose celebrated the
great day in Waverly as described above,
and in the afternoon they once more as
sembled in Montrose, where w, E. Cut-
kin, of Buffalo, made an address which
the veterans in blue appreciated thor
oughly. The evening was passed in the
pleasing enjoyment of stirring address
by Mr.. A. w. Gutridge, of st. Paul, the
we'll known and efficient president Of the
@. r. A. q. of the archdiocese of St.Paul.
Mr.. Gutridge's eulogy on the memory Of
the nations dead soldiers was com
mendable and worthy effort. After
pouring praise and veneration to his
hearts content upon the departed yeter-
ans, Mr.. Gutridge with that earnestness
which characterizes' all his efforts in be-
half of the cause he champions, turned
to his loved subject of temperance and
asked his hearers to take an interest in
the cause, and although honoring as we
do the veterans Of the war heap honor

dear land model of sobriety, morality
and peace. A notable and pleasant fea-
ture of the day showing with wonderful
significance the future of free America,
was the commingling of all denomina-

honor and love in more touching and
brotherly way for the ljberty-loving he

ment on Monday evening, teeming with
striking and interesting features of song
and speech-making. The first number
on the program was an Introductory
overture by the Twin City Mandolin,
Banjo and Guitar club, which was re-
ceived with we'll deserved applause, and
the musicians were encored again and
again. The principal event was the adj
dress of Hon John w. Willis, taking for
his subject, Home Rule. In an earnest
and graphic manner the Judge explained
why the Irish were entitled to this boon,
which all humanity should have, the
right of self-goyernment and the liberty
which America gives to all. Miss M. A.
McKowan sang with wonderful sweetness
that dear old song, "Come Back to Erin"
accompanied by Miss A. Delaney. Tom
Martin, genial, we'll known Tom, was
there, and spoke with such great feeling
"Shamus O'Brien," that the audience

The Strain on the Eye.

There is no reason why muscle or
muscles of the eye should not be tagged
out Just as the muscles elsewhere do.
Let one bear weight all day long, does
he not attribute his consequent head
ache to the heavy burden he has borne?
It seems without elaborate thinking we
could conceive of the results following
upon prolonged use Of the eye. Nature
has done all she could to protect and
prolong the usefulness of the eye. No
earthly architect ever yet planned a
structure that would not yield, crumble
and fail, and the house human, so ex-
quisitely uplifted In curious and mys-
terious ways, falls and returns to dust
more rapidly and surely than need be,
for the reason that we do not realize
how much one part is sustained or over
thrown by another. One tiny muscle is
potent enough to disturb the whole econ
omy, especially if intercurrent diseases
exist In addition to "eye strain. ."-Phila-

A Definition Of somnambulism.

In the earlier days it was the common
ly accepted idea that the somnambulist
was possessed. Anything and every
thing that could not be understood or
explained was of the supernatural. To
see an individual apparently asleep and
utterly oblivious to the greater number
of surrounding objects and yet so Keen
ly awake to others as to be able to per-
form the most intricate actions without
the aid of the senses was so greatly at
variance with the common experience
of mankind as to call up feelings of as
tonishment and awe, not alone to the
minds of the vulgar or laymen, but to
those accustomed to scientific investiga-
tion. Modern science has at least dis
PEELED this idea of the supernatural,
though it has not yet been able to fur
nish a rational theory which will ac-
sount for all of the manifestations of the
affection. 1t has done much, however,
toward calculating the functions of diff
ferent parts of the nervous system and
in that way prepared the mind for a
fuller understanding.
IhuS, IN lS40, came dennltlOn OF
somnambulism as ''s condition in which
certain senses and faculties are sup
pressed or rendered thoroughly impas-
sive, while others prevail in most I'M
wonted exaltation, in which an individ-
ual, though asleep, feels and acts most
energetically, holding an anomalous
species of communication with the ex-
ternal world, awake to objects of atten-
ton and most profoundly torpid to
things at the time Indifferent, a condi-
ton respecting which most commonly
the patient on awakening retains no rec
ollection, but on any relapse into which
a train of thought and feeling related to
and associated with the antecedent par
oxysm will very often develop."-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Travellers Should Always Take Notes.

First rule for all travellers: Set down
everything you see in notebook; never
travel without a notebook. Make notes
of all you observe, if it is only bank OF
primroses. Note the people in the car
riage; what they are like; what they talk
about; how the women are dressed; what
books they are reading; if they look hap
py or not. 1t is interesting when the
country is dull to watch the faces OF
your fellow travellers and to construct
in general terms their future, their pres
ent and their past. And in few years j
know not whether it is more sad or more
delightful to open these old notebooks
and to remember when they were filed.

Women of Their Period.

In the great momentum of the women
movement, which gains new victims
every day, one is inclined to overlooB
the fact that woman was a power moral
ly, socially and Intellectually in the fif.
teenth century as well as the nineteenth,
that the doors of the universities were
open to her not only to study but to
teach within their sacred precincts. In
the University Of Salamanca she had a
place, and when Isabella of Spain de-
sired to acquire the Latin tongue it was
to woman that she turned for tutor.
In Italy, even in the thirteenth century,
a noble Florentine lady won the palm OF
oratory in public contest in Florence
with learned doctors from all over the
world.-New York Sun.
