Notwithstanding the objections of FIR.
Malone the day will continue to be cele-
brated in some form or another as long
as lrishmen cherish love for the land
OF their nativity. 1t has been celebrated
in the United States from the founda-
tion Of the republic and in every land
under the sun where the Irish exiles
have found a home, it has been observed
as religious and national holiday, In
England itself. and in the very capital
of the British empire, Irishmen as
sembled on the last 18th of March to
honor the memory of St. Patrick. The
parliamentary representatives of Ireland
met at grand banquet that day and
made patriotic addresses within the
hearing of their hereditary oppressors.
The memory of 49," was proposed by
William O'Brien and responded to by
Edward Blake, John Dillon, Timothy
Harrington, John Redmond, Thomas
Grattan Esmonde and others, represent
ing all sections Of Irish naticnalists. In
Canada and Australia the day was cele-
DRAFTED with eclat, and in the fatherland
the shamrock was worn in it's native
beauty, and resolutions adopted that the
Irish people would never rest satisfied
till they had their own parliament as
in days CT yore.
FIR. Malone, knows that Irish national
lty and the faith of st. Patrick have
come down the centuries together. If an
lrlshman is deprived of cultivating the
love of country, he is apt to grow cold in
the faith. The children of St. Patrick
make an open profession of their faith
when they appear on the streets OF our
American cities on the 18th of March.
Let them march on foot or ride in car
rlages, as may suit their taste, but cele-
brate the day they will long after the
venerable and patriotic priest of Brook
lyn has gone to his reward.

When, once before, the United States

with Spain, Thomas Jefferson wrote:
I'VE confide in our strength without
boasting Of it; we respect that of others
without fearing it. If Spain chooses to
consider our defense against savage
butchery rs cause of war to her, we
gret, but without fear" That was sound
American Democratic sentiment in the
time of jefferson; it is just as sound and
reliable today, as far as our people are
concerned.

sr0newaII jackson at Chapultepec.
The infantry suffered terribly. It was
impossible to advance along the narrow
track, and when the guns were ordered
up the situation was in no way better
ed. Nearly every horse was killed or
wounded. A deep ditch, cut across the
road, hindered effective action, and the
only position where reply to the enemy S
fire was possible lay beyond this obsta-
Gle. Despite the losses of his command,
jackson managed to lift one gun across
by hand, but his men became demoral-
lied. They left their posts
The example of their lieutenant,
walking up and down on the shot swept
road and exclaiming calmly: sThere is
no danger, see? am not hit, failed to
inspire them with confidence. Many
had already fallen. The infantry, with
the exception of small escort, which
held its ground with difficulty, had dis.
appeared, and General Worth, observ-
ing Jackson's perilous situation, sent
him orders to retire. He replied it was
more dangerous to Withdraw than to
stand fast, and if they would give him
30 veterans he would rather attempt
the capture Of the breastwork. - Hem

One of the most interesting relics in
the National museum at Washington is
the camp chest used by Washington
throughout the Revolution. 1t is a COM
pact affair about the size of tourist s
wicker chest for cooking of the present
day, az feet long, 3 feet wide, foot
high, and it contains an outfit consist
ing of tinder box, pepper and salt
boxes, bottles, knives, forks, gridiron
and plates. Every bit of the outfit save
one bottle, which is broken at the
shoulder, looks strong enough to stand
another campaign,
Near by are the tents used by Wash
ington--three in number. One is a
sleeping tent, 2S feet long, with walls
feet high and roof with foot
pitch. 1t is made of linen. The other
two are marquee tents of smaller size,
one with walls, the other shelter tent
open ON the sides That the tenting ma
terial of Revolutionary days was good
stuff is proved by the excellent condi-
tion of these tents, which sheltered the
great commander through all his severe
campaigns.
Here also is Washington's uniform,
worn by him when he gave up his COM
mission as commander in chief of the
army, at Annapolis in 1883. 1t consists
of a big shadbelly coat of blue broad
cloth, lined ard trimmed with soft
buokskin and ornamented with broad,
fat brass buttons; buckskin waistcoat
and breeohes. The size of the garments
(Which are in state of excellent pres
ervation) testify to the big stature Of
the Father of His Country and sug-
gest that he had an eye tD fine ap-

or wishes to change its location, it
opens and energetically closes it's
valves. thus expelling the water. The
reaction shoots it backward. By this
means the creature is able to travel long
distances Sometimes scallops make
considerable journeys in large COM

lovelier sight than that of a flock of
these pretty creatures, with shell Of ev-
cry hue, from purple and white to black,
enlivened with shades of pink, yellow

DOORS OF VENEER.
Few Doors, Not Even the More Cost
Iy, Made OF Solid Wood.


", Made of Solid Wood.
The very finest of doors are made
nowadays of veneer on a body of pine.
Even when made of mahogany or some
other costly wood doors have to be ve-
neered. The body of the door is made
of plain, straight grained mahogany,
while the surfaces are veneers of fine
wood.
In the finest doors the body is made
Of selected white pine, free from sap
and perfectly seasoned, which is cut in
to narrow strips and then glued to-
gether. The outer edges of this door are
faced with what is called veneer, but
which is really strip of the fine wood
half an inch or more in thickness. The
inner edges of the frame, by the panels,
are covered in the same manner with
thick strips, in which the ornamental
holdings or carvings are made and
which are grooved to receive the panels.
This built up frame of white pine,
with edges of the fine wood, is then
veneered with the fine wood In some
lighter doors the panels may be of solid
mahogany, but in the finer, larger and
heavier doors the panels also are made
of sheets of white pine with veneering
Of the fine wood, so that the entire door
is veneered.
1t would be difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to procure at any cost mahogany
lumber in fine and beautiful woods of
sufficient size for the larger doors. The
built up and veneered door of pine
wood, however, has every appearance
of a solid door, and, made of selected
veneers, it may be more beautiful than
a solid door would be. It is more serv-
iceable and remains longer perfect. Its
cost is about half what solid door
would cost.-New York Sun.
