classic times, and such they are to-
day. AS Athens plunged headlong into
the Peloponnesian war and the Sicilian
expedition centuries ago, so last year
she fatuously defied the powers, in
vaded Crete, and bearded the Turk
in both cases with extravagant expec-
tations and a most disastrous conclu-
sion. The proceedings of her delibera-
tive assemblies, ancient or modern, no
matter what eloquence was displayed,
have always had a curious tragi- comic
quality; you feel that you are dealing
with a nation of schoolboys.
Even in their physical characteristics,
the Iberian strain is easily traced. The
average stature in Greece was below
the pure Aryan standard. Golden locks
are found chiefly on the pages of the
poets, adorning the heads of sun gods
and mythical heroes of similar solar
origin.
In short, the defect that makes a
Greek republic an opera bouffe PROPOSE
tion, is racial. What the Greek was he
still is-with omissions; time has not
mended matters, thus far. And as the
weakness is constitutional, dating back
several millenniums of years, it will
probably require many generations to
eradicate it. Till then, King George
and his heirs had better stick to their
uneasy throne, lest some worse thing
befall. DAVIS TURNER.

THE RERL ST. PHTRICK.
His Work in the Redemption of ireland
From Paganism Was an Abiding
Reality.
BEHIND A VEIL OF FANclFUL LEGENDS.

while the fact that he wrote in Latin
proves that he had sufficient education
for all ordinary purposes his peculiar
use of that language, showing many
traces of Celtic idiom, makes it evident
that his frankness was no false mod
esty but simple honesty. He meant
just what he said, as strong men COM
monty do. And apropos Of these Gel
tic turns of expression, it is of interest
to note that, although not born on
Erin's soil he was of strictly Irish
stock, since his birthplace was in re-
gion almost exclusively settled by the
Irish Picts.
There are qualities far more import
ant than finished scholarship-which,
indeed, is ever liable to waste itself in
pedantic trifling-and these sturdier
traits the victorious Irish evangelist
undoubtedly possessed. What one of
his critics could have done his work?
1t was well for his mission that his
sympathies were not dried away by
the dust of libraries. All the better be-
cause he was 'indoctus" his words
commanded the attention of the rude
clansmen; all the more because he was
''rusticissimus," like themselves. they
trusted and believed him. To this sim

UNCLE SANS
POWDER SUPPLY.
A Single Round From a Battle
ship Costs Nearly $1,000
iOr Powder Alone.

1t takes $50 pounds of powder to fire
a charge from a 13-inch gun, the larg-
est carried by any of the ships of our
navy. The Indiana, Oregon and Iowa
each have an armament of four 13-inch
eight S-inch and four 6-inch guns be-
sides small rapid-fire rifles. Therefore
every time the heaviest guns of one of
these big ships speak together over a
ton of powder is turned into nothing
ness. 1t takes ia pounds to speed the
S-inch shells and so pounds for those of
the 6-inch guns. At twenty-seven cents
per pound, the ordinary contract price
which Uncle Sam pays for his powder,
a single round from the Indiana costs
him almost $780,
The 13-inch guns can be fired about
once every six minutes, while those of
G-inch calibre can be discharged nearly
thirty times as fast. Figuring on this
capacity, the Indiana is capable of
50 tons Of powder in an hour
at a cost of $4,000. 1t is probable that
in an engagement the actual consump-
'tion would not be more than one-quar-
ter or one-half this amount but even
$4,000 per hour is. tidy sum to pay for
smoke and literally requires money to
burn"
The arrangements for supplying pow
der to the big guns Of the navy and
the coast defences involve great ex-
pense and are of vital Importance in
case of actual war, but they are little
known to most people. While all fig
ures as to the, amount of powder that
would be used in any sea-fght must be
largely conjeetural, it doesn't take a
mathematical genius to understand
that If a modern battleship can use
from so to rs tons Of powder in an hour

The life of the famous Irish saint. is.
as everybody knows, buried and almost
lost under a tangled debris of legend
and tradition, much of it grotesque in
the extreme. This was only to be ex-
pected. 1t is fate almost sure to
overtake a great religious leader in
rude and uncritical age; but as a re-
suit, any attempt to read out the true
biography of st. Patrick from the eX-
listing records is like trying to decipher
an obscure and faded manuscript over
the face of which have been drawn a
succession of arabesques and cariea
lures.
Still, it is not to be doubted that st.
Patrick both lived and accomplished a
great worl1-greater, indeed, than peo-
pie in general are accustomed to give
him credit for-and even as to the de-
tails of his life we are not left wholly
at the mercy of legendary lore. A few
apparently authentic documents re-
main-chief among them the Comics
sion" believed to have come from his
own hand. The "Epistle" also is prob
ably genuine, but is far less important.
The confession" is an extremely in
teresting document, to the student at
least From it we get very meager
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-03-14

plicity add dauntless courage and alb
solute sincerity, and you have the Sc
cret of his wonderful success.
Tt is a strong man whose work lives
after him; and the results of st. Pat
rick's labors were felt for centuries and
extended far beyond the island he re-
deemed from paganism. In the period
which followed his death, the Irish
church was the most Jealous and ac-
tive in all Christendom. Although
others-and they, too, are worthy of
praise-whose achievements We're more
spectacular because they addressed
themselves chiefly to kings and mobiles,
have received the greater share of
credit for converting pagan England,
most of the real work was done by
Irish missionaries, animated by the
very spirit of st. Patrick. These were
the men who braving danger and
hardship, overcoming the obstacles of
an alien tongue and racial prejudice,
penetrated to every hamlet in North
cumberland and the Marchlands and
preached the Gospel to the stubborn
villagers until their Christianity be-
came a fact, not a mere profession.
Little as we know about the life of
st. Patrick, his work is an abiding real
ity; and it is safe to assume that the
qualities which appear in the church
he founded We're not wanting in him
self 1t is unfortunate that a charac-
ter so admirable has been yelled behind
such a motley tissue of faneiful leg
ends,-but the Irish people make no
mistake in honoring the name of st.
Patrick.

An Italian Village Whose language
is English.

There is in Italy a whole village OF
well-to-do Italians who speak English,
and it is regarded as one of the most
astonishing things that Italy offers to
the tourist. The inhabitants are retired
organ-grinders, who have acquired
comfortable fortunes in England, and
have gone back to their native land to
live in affiuenee with their families in
this strange little colony, which they
have founded among the italian nouns
tains.
The stranger. in walking through the
quiet streets, is often astonished by
the sound of hand-organ sending
forth the familiar strains of a once
popular air from within some one of
the houses, giving evidence of The -af-
fection in which the organs are. held
by their owners. Most of them cherish
their instruments in their ideal life Of
idleness
