MIR. Justin Mccarthy.

IL is worth nothing that the last three
leaders of the Irish party-Butt Parnell
and McCarthy-have had nothing distinc-
lively Irish about them. Butt was a
clever, hard-hcaded lawyer, who might
have hailed from Birmingham for all the
Irish element there was. in him. Parnell
Ind very little of tho Colt In his blood,
and none whatever In his nature. Nc.
Carthy, IL one overlooked his delightful
brogue, would pass anywhere as n culti-
waited man of letters of what nationality
YOU please. IL is easy for man To be too
Irish for the Irish and that perhaps is one
reason why Mr.. Mccarthy was more well
come to the bulk OF the Nationalist Nom .
bers than such an unmitigated Irishm.n
as Mr.. Tim Henly would have been. 1t is
not necessary to follow the internal affairs
of the Irish party after their meetings in
Committee room No. l5 when MIR. parnell
was deposed. They present indeed a
sorry, sordid spectacle Of perpetual bick-
erings and revolts, concealed from the
public eye by Mr.. Mccarthy as much as
possible and borne by him with job
like patience. He did all he could. in spite
OF i'll health and severe pressure of liter
airy business TO reconcile the irreconcila
bles and present an unbroken front In
the House of Commons. But 10 was not
the work for which he was fitted; it was
indeed the sort of work for which no man
by his nature and training could 10 more
untitled. He carried himself through il
IL all with quiet dignity which won
him the greatest respect and sympathy
outside tho Irish ranks. IL was no dis
grace TO him, IA student and man of let
ters, that he failed at crisis which
would have tried the strongest leader s
hand He was never intended for the
rough and. tumble life Of Irish politics
His five years of nominal leadership
wero one long self-sacrifico. It is not
likely that Mr.. Mccarthy looks back on
the sacrifice with any regret. But that
he was conscious that IL was n sacrifice
may be seen from one sentence In his
autobiography. The truth was, 4" he
writes, "that tr led 10 serve two masters

Exposure-Meters

The knowledge Of how long to expose
a plate is "a sort of sixth sense which Is
developed by practice There are four
points which must always be considered
In exposing "a plate: the intensity, or
aotinic power of the light; tie size of
the stop used; tho sensitive quality of
the plate; and tho character of the sub
ject to be- photographed. The actinic
power Of the light decreases very quickly
as the sun reaches the horizon. The light
is strongest between the hours of ten and
three, and the exposure of "a plate ut that
time will require. If the sun Is shining,
but the fraction Of a second. Before and
after these hours the exposure must te
prolonged according as Ii Is early in the
morning or late ut night The stops reg
ulate the admission of light 70 the lens,
and the smaller the stop the longer must
be the exposure. Some plates are so sensi-
tive that the exposure must be made very
rapidly, while others will bear an expos
ure of seconds with the same subject and
same light. Some subjects do not reflect
actinic light as we'll as Others, and for
such subjects the exposure must be
longer. With all these points to romem-
ber 10 is 20 wonder that photographers
sought some means by which the time
of exposure might be correctly calcu-
jated instead of depending OH ones
Judgment. Little Instruments called
actinometers, actinoRraphs, or exposure
meters according. to the name which tie
inventor applies TO them, are made which
indicate and record the actinic effect Of
light on the sensitive plate, and show the
proper time To expose plate There are
two tinted strips In the actinometer, one
OF which is the standard tint, which Is
used in ordinary light, and the other u
light tint to use where the light Is weak.
BY little turn strip Of sensitive paper
is brought parallel with this tint, and the
length of time which 1t takes for ID to turn
the color of the paper In the actiDGmeter
is the basis on which the calculations for
the exposure Is made. Tables showing the
s,nsitiveness of the different makes of
plates are furnished with each instrument.
10 calculate the correct time of exposure,
the pointer Of the instrument Is turned
until the tine which it took for tho paper
60 darken is opposite the diaphragm mum
Ter of the plate. Then by looking Mt the
time which is opposite the size of stop
used, the exact time for the exposure will
be recorded. In turning the scale to the
plate number it turns the diaphragm tn
the exact time which the plate should be
exposed. Harper Round Table.

President Nc Kinley's ambition to at
tach his signature 90 tho new tariff bill
by the Fourth OF July seems likely TO be-
realized. The Senate is making remark
able progress with that measure ana old
officials predict that the bill will now pass
that body by about Juno Goth, and that
the conference will be an unusually brief
one, thus Fastening its final completion.
The progress made in ths Senate in the
consideration OF this bill Is phenomenal
and Is duo TO the fact that the protective
sentiment in all the parties in that body,
is gaining strength every year and that
the people are bringing strong pressure TO
bear in behalf Of tho early enactment OF a
protective tariff measure.

/, The Board of Trade Committee that
has In charge the reception, entertain
mont and profitable sojourning of our
South Amewcan friends while in town,
have requested tho business men and mer-
chants to decorate thoir buildings with
the national colors Of the states or any of
them TO be here represented by the dis
tinguished body Of visitors
Probably the coIors of the republics to
the south of us are not altogether famil.
lar TO the general run of our fellow-citi-
z-ns and 1t would very likely be difficult
to find in town many of the national
flags. The selection of the proper coors,
however. is perfectly simple and, indeed,
the Boasd of Trade building, as now dec.
Grated, offers an instructive example of
how co make it. 1t may be said that no
mistake will be made by making free use
of the colors OF our own country, since the
red, white and bluo are conspicuous in the
national colors of the Spanish Amer lean
nations The tri-color is the flag of the
American and the French republics and
when tho Spanish American peoples freed
themselves from Spain the mother coun-
Try, they not unnaturally chose rod, whito
I'm a. ina a.,
preference to any other colors OF tho
dozen and moro independent states of the
South and Central Americas and Mexico,
the blue is absent from few of the flags
ana the red is also in nearly all of
them. There Is naturally scarcity
of yellow, since that Is the prevail
ing color of the Spanish ensign
and there was little Of love or loyalty or
any desire Go PERI etuate anything Spanish
at the time the colurs were added by the
respective nations, although we find a
yellow stripe in combination with red and
green in Boliyia's dag, ana with blue and
red in tho oUlors OF Columbia, Ecuador
and Venezuela tho northern group proba-
bly, so associated with "a view TO signify.
ing the ancestry of the nations which
even freedom did not quite efface the
memory of and regard for. Mexioo's flag,
with its green, white and red stripes is
unique among the Spanish American en-
signs.
We repeat however. we shall be per-
fectly safe and sure of being understood
If we hang out the American colors, red,
white and blue since either one or all of
these colors is found i'm every Spanish
american fiug. If we choose to add green
that will be happy, too, since both Bolivia
and our great and friendly neighbor.
Mexico, use the green.
Whether the decoration of yellow would
be favorably understood we do not know
but probabl its omission will cause no
comment especially in view of the general
recognition on this hemisphere of CuDa's
situation. There is small expense to
bunting, the colors are as common as they
are well beloved aud between tonight and
tomorrow night, whom our visitors arrive.
there is ample time for generous decora-
tion.
