SPEAKING UP FOR OLD IRELAND

An English gentleman addicted to field
sports arrived in Cork last autumn, and
engaged car and driver to convey him tc
village some miles from the city. On the
way the traveller remarked:
''Ought to be good country for game,
eh?"
Game is it, your honor?" was the reply
"Shure, there's oshirs nv it,
ANY snipe?'
''Ay, is there! there's more snipe nor
peelers, an more peelers nor prates, an
that's saying good dale"
'Plenty of pheasants and grouse, too,
suppose"
Faith, there's no supposin' at all about
it; there's millions av 'em-so there is.'
Having proceeded some miles and not
seeing feather, the Englishman observed,
sarcastically:
'H'm, yes; plenty of small game, but
don't think there are any phonograhs in
these parts"
"Arrah! don't be talkin' shure, after a
bit av frost the whole country side, and
more speshly the ploughed Ian, does be
swarmin' wild them
No more qnestiens.

has been said, the arsenic employed in the
manufacture OF the note. If the skin is in
the least abraded and the arsenic gets I'M
der the flesh, sore will appear the next
morning. The habit of putting the hand
to the face and becomes the medium of
communicating the arsenic poisoning to
these portions of the body.
"See here" said the superintendent,
stopping by the side Of a young woman and
picking up a glass with a sponge in it
''this sponge is wet, and is used to mois-
ten the fingers while counting money
You see how black it is. That is form
of arsenic. Every morning a new piece Of
sponge is placed on the desk of each EN-
ployee, but before the day is over it is as
black as this one. | have known halt q

character
1t will not do to infer that hard money is
entirely safe. The danger of contracting
disease through coin is quite as great as
it is in the case of notes. Many mothers
frequently give coins as playthings to their
children who are recovering from disease
That money is very often loaded with il
choice collection Of bacilli and when put
in circulation becomes disease dissemina
tor. The habit of holding money between
the lips Or the teeth is very often in its re-
suits another peril. Street-car passengers
women particularly are addicted to this
practice. They give the coin to the con-
ductor in payment of their fare. Down it
goes into his pockets, where it distributes
its germs among the coins to which it is
added. The next step in many cases is
another visit to the mouth of some one who
contracts disease the source of which is
never known.
1t has been demonstrated that the wash
ings from silver and copper coins contain
as many, in some instances more, microbes
of dangerous character than were found
in the washings of old and filthy bank
notes.

A girl had dislocated her jaw and vas
taken to doctor, who quickly reduced the
dislocation and applied handase to keep
the jaw in position. The doctor was q
young man, and had never had such case
before. He was uncertain, therefore, wha,
fee he ought to charge, so consulted tariff
of charges published by the local medical
society. This said: ''For reducing dis
location of jaw, one to three guineas."
The patient was evidently in poor ci,-
cumstances, so he inquired by way of get,
ting clue, if she had ever had her jaw
out before.
sob, yes, SIR" replied the mother
''about twelve manths ago. She was
treated by doctor at Liverpool

Use II in Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in
fact, the great enemy of the mucous mem
brane. Neglected colds in the head al
most invariably precede catarrh, causing
an excessive flow of mucus, and if the mu-
cous discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will follow
such as bad breath, severe pain across the
forehead and about the eyes, a roaring and
buzzing sound in the ears and oftentimes a
very offensive discharge. ELY'S CREAM
BALM is the acknowledged cure for these
troubles.

gists.
EXPERIMENTS, he continued, show
that such notes frequently contain mill
ions of living bacteria Of various kinds, and
in that way spread disease and death"
New notes, according to this specialist,
are almost equally dangerous, but the
peril that turks in them arises from another
cause namely, the arsenic aud other
poisonous substances used in their manu-
facture. 4 correspondent of medical
journal recently wrote that many of the
women employed i'll counting banlinotes in
he treasury at Washington looked i'll and
had sores upon their hands and heads"
The superintendent of the treasury gave
the following account Of their trouble:
Very few who spend any considerable
time in counting money escape the sores
They generally appear first on their hands
hut frequently they break out on the head,
and sometimes the eyes are affected, We
can DO nothing to prevent this. All OF the
women take the greatest care Of themselves
in their work, but sooner or later they are
afflicted with these Sores"

The negro denies that he is guilty of
the heniOus crime, but his description
is similar to that of Warren sent out by
the Cuthbert officers. Another circum-

Glddness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
ical ills which vanish before proper eff.
torts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, e
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

THE FIEND IN HIDING.

THE FIEND IN HIDING.
IL seems that Miss Watson and Mrs,
Camp had been washing at spring un-
der bluff. Mrs. Camp had completed
her task and had gone to the house. Be-
lore departing she instructed Miss Watson
to gather up the articles and follow as
soon as she could do so, never dreaming
that hid in a cluster of bushes not more
than dozen yards away lurked a tiend,
blding his chance to commit a deed too
horrible to contemplate.
STRUCK TO THE GROUND.
Miss Watson was STOPPING oyer pre-
paratory to picking up the clothes when
she was struck on the neck from behind
and felled to the ground. She was render
ed almost unconscious by the blow, but
was able to discern bury negro bending
over her and commanding her to keep
quiet at the peril Of her life. Needless
OF consequences she screamed and strug-
gled as best she could, but was helpless
in the hands of the brute. Her efforts
were futile and her screams for aid were
drowned in tie depths of the bluff.
FLED FROM FRIGHT.
She had nearly given up all hope of
frustrating the brute in his hellsh de-
sire, but as strength was leaving her the
voice of Mr.. Camp, who was blowing
directly over the spring, was heard to
call out "Whoaw to his horse as at that
instant he was passing the spot where
the struggle was going on between her
and the black brute. The negro, fearing
be was approaching the spot, planted a
fearful blow on Miss Watson's body and
quickly disappeared.
HUNTING THE BRUTE.
AS soon as Miss Watson recovered suf-
ticiently to walk she reported the occur
renee to Mr.. Camp, who Immediately or
ganized a searching party of his neigh
bors and departed to hunt the wretch
down. If he is caught and is identified
by Miss Watson he will be swung ur
without ceremony. The whole com
munity is greatly wrought up over The
bid attempt.

NECESSITY FOR ACTION.

The action of the Senate with re-
gard to the funds of the Beard of Edu-
cation completely paralyzed the action
of that body. The allowance for pay roll
was at the rate of $4,000 per month,
and the actual pay roll for the month
of February was s15,16725. Unless the
House of Representatives comes to the
rescue it will be impossible to have any
further expansion of the schools. 1t is
very evident that it would be useless to
build school houses if there are no
funds to pay teachers to teach in them.
The only way to avert the difficulty,
if no relief is given, would be to close
up the schools when the funds were ex-
hausted, or to reduce the salaries, which
with very few exceptions only afford a
bare living for the teachers. OF the 269
teachers at present in the employ of
the board, only A have salaries of
81 900 and upwards, while the remain
ing 225 range below $500 per annum,
the average being $50 per month. This
is but a small reward for painstaking
labor. A teacher has to spend much
time and money to become fitted for
the profession, and it is very evident
that economy cannot, or certainly ought
not, to be commenced by any cutting
down of the pittance which most teach
ers receive.
Not only is the Board prevented from
expanding the schools, but it will be
impossible to advance the salaries of
such of the assistant teachers as have,
under the schedule in use by the Board,
earned by length of service and ability
a clear right to an advance. We un-
derstand the Board has a graduated list
