Ireland s Big Cavern.

1t has remained for a Frenchman to
make the first complete exploration of
the largest cavern in the British ISL
ands, that at Mitchelstown. Ireland.
The explorer is Monsieur Martel, who
has recently become famous for his
discoveries in the cayerns of France.
The Mitchelstown cavern is formed in
limestone, and is remarkable for the
number and extent of its connected pas
sages which, when plotted upon a
chart. resemble the streets OF a city.
The length Of the cave is about a mile
and a quarter, and it contains some
animal inhabitants, including a species
of spider, which are peculiar to it and
which have their entire existence with
in its receSSeS.

Even to Bank Omcial She Would Not

says the New York Herald. Long rows
OF women. some anxious and de-
pressed looking, all of them with an
unmlstakable air of weariness. were
waiting their turn with books to be pre-
sented for the semi-annual interest. A

his grim visage. The woman at the
window was a new depositor and there
was longer wait than usual while
she answered ali the questions relative
to her genealogy and that of her sis
ters and her cousins and her aunts-
information which one must ALWAYS
give to great bank before it will
condescend TO receive and sometimes
lose ones money.
At last came the fateful question.
Whats your age?'
faint blush stole over the faded
cheeks, the antiquated and corkscrew
curls qulvered with agitation as she
murmured: I'd rather not tell, please"
The bank clerk meant business. He
had no sympathy with the maiden mod
esty of the trembling aspirant to finan-
cial dignity. oh. but you must tell
he replied, somewhat brusquely.
The bushes grew painful but there
was still a loophole of escape. At least
all the world should not know her age
and raising herself on tiptoe so as to
bring her face close to the window
for she was short of stature-she said:
May l whisper it, please?" and the
woman behind her will never know
how old she was
