The Irish Language.

1t sounds Profane to ask whether
our ancient tongue is worth preserving.
Yes, il is. even as a spoken language,
and so well worth preserving that if
the effort be not made, and, with God S
blessing, made successfully, we should
be held accountable for casting frcm us
what is, in the natural order, apart
from the national spirit. the noblest in
heritance of our race.
1t is the misfortune of many good
Irishmen to know nothing of the Irish
language, however anxious about it,
and. through an untoward history, it
is the way with many others TO care
but little for its fate. because the in
vader has branded it as an inferior
tongue. But it never happened that
any one competent TO form an opinion
who knew Irish did not esteem it as a
noble vehicle of human thought and

WRECKING A COWBOY.
How . TenderfoOt with SILK Hat
Did Him Up in Little
Gun Play.

There is at least one cowboy in Ari-
zona whose head is three sizes smaller
than it was month ago." said the Chi
cago drummer, as he brushed the alkali
dust off his coat collar. 'At Tombs tone
/ fell in with young man from New
Haven who was proving over the
country in search of a good thing, but
not caring much whether he found it or
not. One afternoon he stood with his
back to the street, reading the posters
on a, billboard. He had on a silk hat,
and presently cowboy emerged from a
store on the opposite side of the square.
One glance at that hat brought out a
gun, and there was pop! pop! pop! till
six bullets had been fired. The tender
foot never turned, nor let on that he
heard the shooting. In ten seconds the
gun was reloaded, and there was an
other fusilade. There were hundred
people looking on and shouting and
laughing, but the tenderfoot kept his
back to the street until the twelfth shot
had been fired. Then he calmly turned
about, removed his hat and placed it on
the ground, and stepping back pace
or two, he drew his gun and shot it to
pieces. The remains were yet smoking
when he picked them up, crossed the
square, and holding the handful of old
hat out to the cowboy, he humbly said:
"'If you have couple of months to
spare L might be willing to teach you
how to handle gun!'
"But hadn't the cowboys bullets hit
the hat?" was asked.
'Every blessed one of them" replied
the drummer, but no one knew it ex-
cept the tenderfoot, and he destroyed
all evidence by his own shooting. The
crowd took it that the cowboy had
missed and raised a laugh on him, and
when he straddled his cayuse and loped
down the street, he looked as homesick
as dog thousand miles from home"

Orange omelet is made like other
omelets, pinch of sugar being added
to the eggs, with pepper omitted in the
seasoning. The ranges for the ON
elet are peeled, and pulled apart in their
natural sections, each of which is then
cut into halves. They are sweetened,
and if too much juice is pressed out,
it is poured off before they are folded
in the omelet. They should be pre-
pared, OF course, before the omelet is
begun, and may stand until needed in
the plate-warmer of the range, in order
to become slightly heated The me hod
of coolling-teachers to peel an orange
is to pare it like an apple, and to IemoXe
the inner as well as the outer skin
Then with the orange still whole, and
with sharp-pointed knife. the pulp
of each section may be slipped out
without breaking, and as q" sly as
the orange could be cut up i'm the or
dinary way. The knife is slipped un-
der the skin at one side of the section,
passed under and around until the
piece drops out. In this way the seeds
and tough inner skin are sure to be re-
moved. If the fruit is to be used in
.
or as food for the invalid's tray, this
method of preparation is especially
good.
\ dietary authority pronounces
strongly against the use of cold boiled
potatoes in any form. He says it is
impossible to digest them, and they
should not be offered at table. Chill
dren in particular ought not to eat po
tatoes that have been cooked and al
lowed to stand over night.
Brushes designed for use in remov-
ing the crumbs from polished tables are
to be found now in the shops. They
are high and rather narrow and are pro-
vided with very soft bristles, contact
with which cannot injure the finest.

only for luncheon service when cloth
is omitted, but for use also at the five
o'clock tea table. Ornamental handles

crease their suitability for the parlor
tea-tray.
Glass candlesticks have been in com
mon use of late. They are prettier than
china ones for the dressing-table, and
are almost as effective as silver on the
dinner-board.
A date cake that is much liked by
children has the fruit in the layer mix
ture only. Any simple cup-cake is
baked in layers, each of which should
be about three-quarters of an inch
thick when done. With a cup of chopped
dates is mixed half cup of whipped
cream, the mixture being spread be-
tween the layers. The loaf, formed
from three layers piled together, is
iced, and may have a few whole dates,
stoned and stuffed with almonds spread
over the top.-N, Y. Post.
War and the Price of Diamonas-
One of the most remarkable results of
the recent tHispano-American warts the
largely increased demand for diamonds
n America. Patriotic jubilation in the
male bosom manifests itself in great
-ariety of ways, sparkling through
Pommery or taking n rich blood hue
rom fruity port. The ladies, however,
rejoice in brilliants. So great has been
the demand for diamonds during the
last few months that an appreciation of
at least 20 per cent. has taken place
in the price paid by the public.-South

the members of the United States Con-
gress and contains long argument
by Senor Buencamino, of the so-called
Cabinet of Aguinaldo, and alleged let
ters written by Mr.. Wildman, United
States Consul at Hongkong to Aguin-

has made a sensation among the
Spaniards here.
Replying to Aguinaldos request that
the Americans would arrange for the
shipment of the Spanish prisoners to
Hongkong, relieving the Filipinos of
the expense of maintaining them, Mr..
Wildman wrote:
Never mind feeding them. A meal
every day of coarse bread and water
would be a good diet They have been
living too high during the last few
years. As the SDaniards want more
bloodshed in the Ph l.ppines, l trust you
will let them have a taste of real war.
Do not be so tender with them. Handle
them as they would treat YOU"
Mr.. Wildmans letters deal largely
with the shipment of arms.
The whole correspondence, however,
contains no promises of independence.
Senor Buencamino lays stress upon
letters from Admiral Dewey and Gen
eral Anderson requesting passes for
American officers and others to visit
Filipino territory and upon a letter
from General Anderson asking you
and your people to cooperate with us
in military operations against the
Spaniards"

THE STORMS RAvAGES.
Four Dead Men and Two Parties
Not Yet Heard From.

DENVER, Oct. 1S.-A special to the
Republican" from Great Falls, Mont,
says: Four men are dead, and probably
eight more, in Teton County from the
recent storm. The dead are all sheep
herders. They are as follows:
Norman DrJuce and one other en-
ployed by w. K. Flowerree; Will Gra-
ham, working for the Homer Sheep
Company, and a man named Ladd, en-
plOyed by Wallace Taylor. Two herderS
named Mcintosh and Conley, working
for j. c. Quigley, are probably dead,
as they are missing, though their
sheep have been found. There are two
parties in the mountains, including G
ladies, which have not been heard
from. They have tents and food, but
may not escape. They are William
Coburn, Charles Mcdonald and their
wives of Dupuyer, now in the Sun
River Canyon, and w. F. Ralston and
four sons in Birch Creek Canyon. The
severity of the storm may be judged
by the fact that it took four horses
four days to bring in the body of VIII
Graham on a toboggan. Snow is four
feet on the level in parts of Teton
County.

FIGHTING COMMENCED.
A Big Engagement May Take Place
TODAY

NEW YORK, Oct. ia dispatch to
the Tribune" from London says: The
latest intelligence from the seat of war
indicates that fighting of a serious ma
ture has commenced in Natal. Details
are very scarce at present, but hostili-
ties were evidently started by the Free
State troops, who advanced from Tint
wa Pass and engaged the British
cavalry patrols in long range artil-
lery duel. Firing continued for the
greater part of yesterday, but it is not
known with what results, although it
is admitted there are several casualties
on the British side. Sir George White
has pushed up his supports and every
thing points to big engagement to-
day.
Ladysmith has fully 5000 troops and
at Glencoe, on the other flank of the
British defensive line, there are 1000
The very risky and daring movement
of the Beers is directed toward en-
veloping this line, two columns ad-
yancing against Ladysmith, General
Joubert directing the forces liz the
neighborhood of Dundee. Should the
attack be delivered simultaneously at
both places it will prove the Beers
have carried out plans of considerable
complexity with precision which
might excite the envy of any soldiers
in the world. Should they succeed at
the same time in thrusting their col
umns between Ladysmith and Dundee
they will practically isolate the latter
place and may be able to mask the
British garrisons at that point and
Ladysmith, while the concentration de-
scribed as having Greytown as it's OBJ
jective advances unopposed to Peitor-
maritzburg. Bennett Burleigh, in a
telegram dispatch from Ladysmith last
night says it is reported that the Bo-
ers are hemmed in at Actonhome and
