The Troubles OF ireland.

On one occasion Hartley Coleridge
had listened with deep apparent inter-
est to the voluble discourse of well
known Irish enthusiast who spent
much Of his time travelling about Eng
land and enlightening the English mind
ON the subject Of popish errors, especial
ly in Ireland. After dinner Hartley re.
quested to be presented to a man so re-
markable. On the presentation he took
the far famed traveller and philosopher
by the arm, while a few of the guests
gathered around, and addressed him
with awful solemnity, "Sir, there are
two great evils in Ireland. There
are indeed, sir, replied the Irish guest,
"but please to name them" 1.-THE

A ROMANTIC ENGLISHMAN.
Sir Edwin AiASlGs Life In the Flowery
Kingdom,

Sir Edwin Arnold, who legalized his
union with fascinating japanese widow
by an English marriage service in London,
was always cosmopolitan in his ideas
Surely no Englishman born and bred has
ever succeeded in merging his own indi
viduality into that of other peoples rs tho
author Of The Light of Asia" and "The
Light of the World has done. When he
was in India in his young days, his work
showed his intense sympathy with the
Buddhists. and in thc preface to 1.-The
Light OF Asia he wrote This book was
written by one who loved India and the
Indian people
For twOscurc of wears he was English
to the core Of his heart IN the editorials he
wrote tor the London Telegraph and in
1890 he came 20 America seemed quite
able to understand us as few of his coun-
trymen could do and then he went on to
Japan and Immediately began To live a Ia
Japonais
He lived in - native house left his shoes
at his door. slept on thick quilt, and
they say ate in true Japanese style In
his bedroom he had cheap European
washstand TWO japanese chests of draw
ers OF whitowood and black ironwork and
the usua, sliding cupboards into which
his bed was put when it was rolled up in
the daytime
The walls of the room were of tissue pa
per panels, powdered with silver maple
leaves, and n clear glass belt ran around
the room at IA height inconducive TO pro
priety. as our correspondent of tho day
remarked
The drawing room was glass paneled
from floor to ceiling, and the only thing
in the whole house that limited at other
civilization was an American stove, which
stood in one of the corners.
With such surroundings it is not much
wonder that the impressionable poet found
himself going through the ceremony of tea
drinking with his charming companion of
the hour, and that he was content to &C
cept the ceremony as bona fide marriage
is tribute to his kinship with genius that
since the world began has ever Haunted n
little the staid laws and regulations that
ordinary folk find necessary to comfortable
existence.
1t was in Japan, by the way, that Sir
Edwin began 1.-The Light of the World,
and indeed completed it, too during his
stay of several years.
He says himself that he was i'm tea
garden one night, surrounded by music,
flowers, handsome dressing and all the
delicate luxuries which Japan knows SC
we'll how to combine. when suddenly hG
began to write. So absorbed was he that
he was unconscious of his companions un
til one said, "Be quiet; Dana Sama is
writing" and then he found he had put
on paper the first lines Of his beautiful
lyric:
Peace beginning to be
Deep as the sleep of the sea,
When the stars their radiance glass

A DOCTORS MISTAKE.
He Spoiled the Harmony Of a Pair
of Bowed Legs.

He was a fat, joyial appearing man.
and he sat on the front of the grip car
smoking a fragrant black looking cigar.
A grim smile was on his face, and occa-
sionaIly, as he removed the cigar from
his lips to blow out a great cloud of
smoke, he seized the opportunity to let
out chuckle of delight, while there
came over him a convulsive quiver as if
he We're inwardly very much amused at
something.
Beside him sat a quiet, serious-faced
man, ostensibly reading a newspa per.
but who took occasion TO view the per-
fornances of the other with a great
deal Of furtive curiosity. This was soon
noticed by the fat man, and ne quickly
appeared to be anxious to exchange
condolences.
Just then the car slowed up at a
street crossing and a young woman,
who was perched on the very front seat,
swung lightly TO the ground, and with a
quick run got to the sidewalk before the
car had ceased its momentum.
Huh" said the fat man, as he imi
tated the rest of the passengers and
followed her diSa apeparing form with an
admiring glance its a wonder she
didn't get off backwards and on the

MAGIC.
The Distinction Between 1t and

IT Is pleasant to know that some of
our fellow countrymen whose sanity
has never been disputed by process Of

marked that 'it takes all sorts TO make
a world" and the sort to which these
interesting individuals belong grows
rarer and rarer at the present DAY
But the world, says the London stand
ard" will be poorer for the loss or that
ingredient. Therefore did the thought
full welcome with unfeigned delight the
establishment of an Astrological Socle-

those who follow them with worship is

The glory of human life was dinmed
when people ceased to believe in magic.

But for ages untold these delightful
