Native Gold of Ireland.

sIt is not generally known" said
William O'Brien, of Armagh, Ireland,
in the lobby of the Lindell, "that
there is native gold in Ireland in con-
siderable quantity. 1t is fact that in
many of the counties the precious
metal has been mined for agood many
hundred years, and that it will con-
tinue to be produced for long time
to come. OF course, there is no such
excitement over it as there was in this
country in the time of the California
excitement, and there never has been,
but the industry goes forward stead
ily. The gold mines of Wicklow pro-
duce more gold I believe, than all the
rest of the United Kingdom. All over
the island there are indications that
the mining of gold has been carried
on in Ireland before the present races
we're thought of. The museums have
many indications that such mining is
ancient as we'll as modern. I saw
newspaper notice the other day in
which it was stated that all Of the
counties of Ireland produced silver,
but I think that this is a mistake. I
know of only one or two besides Wick
low that have trace of the precious
metal. st. Louis Republic.

Can You Lose the Grips

Losing one kind of grip is worse than taxi

is well to be advised by those who know all
about it.
Mr.. F. C. Ferguson, 1858 Atlantic Avenue,
Brooklyn, N. Y, writes to the point March
1, 1898. He says: 81 would like to add my
testimony to your already long list. While

and shoulder. 1t inte rfered with my playing

recommended st. Jacobs Oil, which tried,
with the result that I was completely cured

way, retires many professional player"

Fashion In Hair Dressing.

There have not been for years 30
many charming ways of arranging
feminine locks as to-day. With q skill
FIJI maid even a homely woman who
has reasonably good complexion can
be made to look almost handsome, so
exquisitely and picturesquely is it
possible to dress the hair. With the
modern methods every strand OF hair
is made available and made the most
of; and it is doubtful if any quantity
of false additions will be worn for
many year to come. Art has really
invaded, in these days, the dress
makers rooms end the hairdresser's
shop, and a woman's natural defects
and beauties are studied with view
to remedying or developing them. If
her forehead is too high and round,
curly locks are allowed to fall over it
and soften the outlines; if the head is
too high and round on the crown for
symmetry, the hair is dressed low to
give balance and grace to its shape.
There is really no profile, there is no
expression which has not its ap-

Interesting Intantile Statistics.

It will probably startle good many
persons to find, on the authority OF a
well-known statistician, that, could the
infants of year be ranged in line in
cradles, the cradles would extendround
the globe. The same writer looks at
the meter in more picturesque light.
He imagines the babies being carried
past given point in their mothers
arms, one by one, and the procession
being kept up night and day until the
last hour in the twelve months had
passed by. A sufficiently liberal rate
is allowed, but even in the going past
1T the rate OF twenty p minute, one
thousand two hundred On hour during
the entire year, the reviewer at his
post would only have seen the sixth
part OF the infantjle host. In other
words, the babe that had to be carried
when the tramp began would be able
to walk when but mere fraction Of
itscomrades had reached the reviewers s
post, and when the years supply of
babes was drawing to a close. there
would be rearguard, not of infants,
but OF romping six-year-old boys and

A Sect of Fasters.

The Jains of India are the champion
fasters or long-distance, do.without-
food sect of the world. Fasts Of from
thirty to forty days are very common
among this curious sect, and once
each year 'eradami" comes forward
and undertakes the ''grand fast"-a
period of seventy-fve days, during
which time he allows nothing but
warm water to pass his lips. When
the fast is once begun, the faster will
carry it to the prescribed limit or die
in the attempt. In curious contrast
to this startling feat is the religious
eating contests of the South Sea Isl
anders, where the competitors actual
ly hoop themselves like barrels with
ropes made of grass and bark to keep
from bursting through overfeeding.-

who is five feet seven inches in height,
and weighs 2s2 pounds.
The boys name is Johnny Wade,
and he is the eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. N. s. Wade. Mr.. and Mrs. Wade
have family of seven children, five
boys and two girls, but with the ex'
ception of Johnny none are above the
average in height or weight.
A peculiar theory is advanced to ac-
count for Johnny Wade's enormous
size. 1t is said that from the time he
was able to walk it has been his habit
to follow his father, who is butcher,
to the slaughter pen and there to
drink quantities of the blood of beeves
just slaughtered. It is believed that
this practice is what gave him his phe-
nomenal growth. His relatives on
both sides are small people, or below
the average in size and weight.
When Johnny feels like working he
busies himself helping his father in
the butcher shop. He is still grow

Largest Gun Ever Built In America.

The first thirteen-inch high-powered
rifed gun completed in this country
was recently tried at the naval ord
nance proving-pound, near Washing
ton. It Is the largest modern gun
which has been built in this country,
and its trial, says HarperS Weekly,
was complete success.
The gun and mount we're built at
the Washington Navy Yard Ordnance
Works in less than year, and were
set up at the proving-ground to be
tested by the actual firing of a service
charge and projectile. The mount
weighing about thirty-one tons, was
easily transported to the proving
ground and put in place; but the
moving of thirteen-inch gun, weigh
ing 60t tons, was more delicate mat
ter. The gun was put on two car
trucks of four wheels each, connected
by long tie-rod, SO that the distance
between the trucks was about thirty
feet. This length between trucks was
fixed so that in running the gun upon
