Atlanta Journal: Mr.. Logan Carlisle,

and son of Secretary Carlisle. is famed
among his intimate friends for his wit.
It was during this administration that
Secretary Carlisle issued an order that
no two members of family should be
employed in the Treasury department at
the same time. This caused several dis
missals and forced designations, and one
young woman, whose mother had been
forced to leave, entered indignant protests
with Logan.
She pleaded, threatened and finally
said: Well, Mr.. Chief Clerk, it's poor

1t has been found that the humble corn
stalk can be converted into cellulose,

because of the excellent service it pro-
vides for it's army of patrons to and be-

West Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls
and other points OF interest and import
ance. The Duluth Short Line, as this

worth little short of e15,000,0O0 and the
size of the factories may be known from
the fact that two of the chief Belfast con-
Germs employ 5000 hands between them
Paraphrasing the saying that what
ever is is best, we may truly say that
whatever is Irish is good. It's Limerick
and Waterford bacon has one riveal-
Wiltshire; and the quantities of the Irish
article consumed in England are the best
proof of how it is appreciated. Unfor-
}tunately, some Irish provision merchants
are, Intentionally or otherwise, leagued
| together to defame Irish produce; and
they sell the best Irish bacon under the
, name of Wiltshire, just as they sell
thousands of tons of the choicest OF Irish
! butter as Dorset, and Danish, While to
the inferior grades, and no doubt to
American products, they give the name
of Irish. Why do not the Irish dairies
combine with the bacon factories and es-
tablish shops all over London? If the
movement were universal we should soon
have the half Of England breakfasting on
Waterford bacon and Tipperary butter,
lunching off Mattersons sausages-of
which two are equal to pound Of Lon
don bread and fat-and dining off Liner
ick hams.
| There is one Irish product which Eng
lishmen certainly appreciate, even under
it's own patronymic. England drinks
5000 900 gallons of Irish whiskey. Even
Scotland--and Scotchmen are epicures In
alchohol- 100000 gallons from
across the water And this is one Of the
things in which all Irishmen agree with
their English neighbors, for they prac-
tically drink nothing but their own dis
tilling, getting only $4,000 gallons alto
gether from England and Scotland. Pro-
badly Jameson's whiskey is the best dis
titled on the whole globe. tits the high
est priced in the market, anyhow, and
commands as much as 10 shillings a gal
Ion in bond. The produce Of this article
in Ireland, however, does not quite equal
that of Scotland, chiefly because the
Irishman only drinks about two-thirds
as much whiskey as the Scotchman.
There are twenty~seven distilleries in Ire
land, which manufacture nearly 100000
gallons annually. -Four millions, they
drink at home; they send 100000 gal
ions to England, over half million to
Scotland, and about Il quarter Of a million
direct to the colonies and foreign coun-
triest In eight years Ireland had contri-
buted,no less than e31 ,O0O0 900 to the ex-

One last product let me mention. You
may go to Carrara for marble; but if
you want the most beautiful green SER
pentine in the world you will find it in
Galway; if you want black marble that
cannot he equalled you can get it from the
shores of Lough Corrib; and nowhere
will pou find anything to beat the BEAU
tiful red marble OF Donegal, the blue-and
yellow marbles of Armagh, the purple
and-white of Cork and the variegated
marble found in Kerry near Tralee. 1t
is admitted that the most beautiful ston-
es in the albert Memorial, in Hyde

mite; while the Thames embankment is

FIGHTING A RATTLEsNAKE.

Idaho Man Had to Tear the Reptile
from Him.
: Bernard Sharkey, owner of the Cop
per Queen mine, near Salmon, Idaho,
lately had an encounter with a rattle
snake which, for sensational features,
has seldom been equaled in a contest
with reptile, says the Denver Repub-
hcan. Mr.. Sharkey was passing along a
mountain trail. The footing was un-
certain, and he was holding to bushes,
grass, etc, on the upper side of the trail
with one hand. Intent upon where he
was stepping, he did not notice he had
aroused snake, and had no warning
of impending danger until the RATHER
darted his fangs into his hand.
The snake did not release his hold,
but attempted to coil itself around Mr..
Sharkey's arm during the descent.
Gaining his feet, Mr.. Sharkey attempted
to shake the reptile of, but found it
impossible. He then drew his revolver
and shot it. The snake loosened it's
clutch on his hand, but darted at him
again, and sank it's teeth in his leather
coat. Holding to the coat it twined
itself about his body, but with both
hands free Mr.. Sharkey continued to
battle with the better advantage. He
aoosened the coils Of the snake, got his
foot on its body, end literally tore it
away from his coat, piece of the
leather being carried away in it's
mouth. He succeeded in killing the
make, which proved to be six fes4 In
length, aud had 16 rattles,
