wards OF Two Million People.
We are glad To notice as an event of
literary Importance. says the New
York sun. the recent organization in
Providence. K. l.. of a Celtic society.
the object of which is to revive interest
in the mellitiuOus and influential tongue
of Ireland.
No other language. having itself no
great masterpiece of literature. has
had such effect on modern literature as
the Celtic. To il we owe many of the
fairy tales of our childhood; some of
Shakespeare plays. some of the Incl
dents detailed in the Arthurian poems.
even some of those in the Divine Com
edy, are drawn from Celtic sources 1t
was Saidof Washington: Mature made
him childless that ne might be the
father of his country" so il might al
most be said of the Celtic language:
Nature left il childless that it might
be the mother of other literatureS
The Celtic language is not a dead
language. One-siXth of the population
of the Emerald isle lin round numbers
eight hundred thousand personsl under
stand Erse; sixty thousand persons
there know no other language than it:
one-third of the territory of Ireland is
still Celtic, so far as the ability to un-
derstand the language is concerned
and upward of two million in this coun-
try and Canada are familiar with the
tongue. The path of the new society
and of it predecessors is uphill but the
ascent has an end. a century ago the
Welsh language was really in worse
case than the Erse is now. but by the
eXertions of scholars and the local
clergy of Wales il was rescued. and to-
day is vigorous both in Wales and
America That similar success NAV
await the Celtic societies of this coun-
try in their patriotic labors we sincere

very few minutes
i was not an alligator expert when
/ went down on Indian river for the
first time and was ignorant of the dire
consequence of touching alligatorS
when they were still bottled up in a
shell in a liquid state. Scein: nest
and three eggs on the bank OF the
river. l captured them. without seeing
any maternal Saurian. and took them
home with me. Here / put the eggs
under a stove. and in the course of Il
few days they hatched out.
The reptiles broke through the
sides of the shell. which remained
fastened To them by umbilical cords.
and dill not free themselves from their
late place of residence for several days
They were fierce from the moment ot
birth and would strike at anyone who
approached them. Running around
with the e.r" still attached to them and
their mouths wide open. they pre-
scented Il strange spectacle

nests when the parent alligator WAS
