Ireland as a Tourist Resort.

The question is continually asked,
Why is Ireland, with it's exquisite seen
ery and almost unrivalled beauty, ne

There are, or have been, invariably two
methods of solving the problem. The
Saxon has shrugged his shoulders and
repeated for the thousandth time the
old formula about the discomfort ana
the excessively high tariff of the Irish
hotel Or, on the other hand, he may
have remarked on the dilatoriness OF
the Irish railway train. 1t is not for US
to deny that, to very considerable de-
gree. complaints of this character have
been more than justified; but a recent
and rather extended experience of both
these necessary adjuncts to the busl-
ness of touring has revealed to US the
fact that such grounds of dlsSatlSfac-
ton are being rapidly and certainly re-
moved Ireland has at last awakened
to her possibilities as a tourist resort

lake or river scenery-rivals, if it does
not excel, Scotland and Wales. She is
accelerating and improving her railway
service she is opening up new and
for the tourist-virgin routes; her hotel
proprietors are alive to the necessity
for materially changing their methods;
and, given these conditions, there can
be no possible reason in the world why
Ireland should not obtain fair share
of the holiday harvest which at present
is bestowed with bounteous hand upon
the continent-St. James Gazette.

The Hero of the Paris Fire.

This evening it is announced that Pi-
quet, the journyman plumber who
saved at least a score of lives, is to
be presented with the Cross of the Le-
gion of Honor, and if, as it is to be
hoped, this news is confirmed, never
will a reward have been better de-
served. This modest hero, who was
passing down the Rue Jean-Goujon
while the confiagration was raging,
dashed in and out among the flames,
always returning with a woman or
a child in his arms. Then, when he
could do no more, he quietly proceeded
to the workshop where he is employed,
although his face and hands had been
badly burned and his hair was scorched.
When piled with questions about his
strange appearance by his comrades,
he gave evasive answers, as if he had
got into some scrape, and it was only
when his master insisted on knowing
what had happened that he blurted
out ''Well, then, 1 come from the Rue
jean -Goujon, where I helped to pull
a few poor people out of the fire.
Then the brave man, overwhelmed with
emotion at the scenes which he had
witnessed, burst into a paroxysm of
weeping.
Madame Roux, wife of one of the
Secretaries of General de <Boisdeffre
Chief of the General Staff. is the owner
of the house in which Pipuet dwells,
and knows him we'll. She states that
he served in the navy, and on his re-
turn to the Plaisance district of the
city. where he was born, adopted t6e
trade of a plumber. 1T is impossible,
this lady says, ito estimate the pre-
else number of lives which he saved;
but. judging from the enumeration of
the incidents which most impressed
him. and of the victims who most
touched his kind heart, we may fair
lv calculate that they amounted to at
least twenty. For a whole hour he
went in and out. running from the fur
mace to the ambulances. Each time
that he entered people despaired of
seeing him return, but still he came
back. His face was enveloped in wet
linen, and he started again. a gen
tleman put his overcoat round him,
and once more he threw himself into
the flames Finally, as the fire had
diminished. he drew out Of heap OF
debris a human form, and this time
it was a corpse that ne DfouSHl pdch'

was then that Piquet determined on
leaving. My heart failed me" he says,
in a. tone of self-reproach He lives
here" added Madame Roux, respected
bv ourselves and honored by all. His
conduct has not surprised US. As he
was in the Rue Jean-Gonjon while the
fire was raging, he was bound to re-
turn a hero or dead" Such is the
simple, but eloquent tribute paid to
the merits of Piquet by one kho knows
him well, and is thoroughly acquainted
with the circumstances under which
he performed his valiant deeds. This
is the gallant man to whom NJ Bar
thou, Minister of the Interior, made
such touching allusion in the address

Japanese Journalism.

Japanese journalism" says a mis-
sionary's wife, is a singular profession
in many of its features. There is prac-
ucaly no such thing as freedom of the
press in Japan. Whenever a newspaper
publishes something unfriendly to the
Government, it is suppressed, and the
editor is sent TO prison. The real edi-
tor is never imprisoned, though. Every
newspaper has what the japanese call a
dummy editor and it is his sole duty
to go to Jail every time the paper is
suppressed for offending the Mikado.
Then the real editor changes the name
of the paper and keeps on publishing it..
Dummy editors spend most of their
time in prison"

Diamonds in an Extinct Volcano.

An interesting discovery from a geo.
logical point of view was recently made
by an explorer in the mountains of
Witzies Hoek, Natal. On the summit
of an extinct volcano, on the edge of
lake that occupies the crater, sound
ings revealed a layer Of sand inclosing
small diamonds. 1t would be interest
ing to know whether these diamonds
were there accidentally, that is, as the
result of washing operations carried on
by the natives, or whether this discoy-
cry corresponds to an actual mine of
diamonds, for the hills of Witzies Hoek
are not situated in regions known to be
diamond bearing On the last hypo-
thesis, the presence of precious stones
in the crater of a volcano would doubt
less throw some light on the formation
of the gems in nature.-Le Genie Civil.

General Brooke is one of the oldest
and most popular commanders in the
army. He entered the military service
as a volunteer in 1861. when he was %
years old, and was with Hancock's gall
liant corps through all the hard fights
of the army of the Potomaf from Bull
Run to Cold Harbor, where he was
wounded. His rank on entering the
army was that of Captain of volunteers
and when he retired it was Brigadier-
General. After the war he was ap-
pointed Lieutenant-C in the regu-
lar army and was sent west to guard
the frontier. His promotions came
steadily until in 1888 he was appointed
Brigadier- General, commanding the de-
partment of the Platte. He took an ac
