IRISH INDECENCY.
The Amazing Assertion Is Made That
Gaelic Is Unfit to BE
Taught

The modern movement for promoting
the study of the Irish language is not
universally approved, even in Ireland.
On one side are arrayed the forces of
the Gaelic league, while prominent
among those ON the other side are two
eminent Irish educationalists, Drs. Ma
hafy and Atkinson, both of Dublin
university. The evidence of Dir. Ma
hatfY is perhaps somewhat discounted
by his admission that he knows Meth
ing Of the Irish language. The attitude
OF DR.. Atkinson, however, is looked
upon as more serious matter, as he ie
probably the greatest living authority
on the Irish language. His opinion is
that the mass of eXtant Irish literature,
in which he includes modern folklore,
is too indecent to be taught indiserim-
inatcly. This is a somewhat new OBJ
lection, and the Gaelic league are up in
arms against the distinguished profess
sor. Meanwhile another weekly paper
in Gaelic, to be called The Sword OF
Light, is about to be started.
DIR. Atkinson's statement has aroused
Mr.. Alfred Mutt, the well-known pub
Usher, and a member of the council OF
the Irish Text society, to a fine pitch
of indignation. Mr.. Mutt, who will not
even admit that DR.. Atkinson is the
greatest living authority on the Irish
anguage-although he includes him
within the first three or four-daelares
that no one wants to put incorporated
Irish literature before boys and girls,
and AYERS that the proportion Of what is
indecent is infinitely less than in the
classical languages and in many Euro.
pean tongues-which seems rather a
begging Of the question.
Moreover, he declares that what of il
may be called indecent is so because il
is primitive, and not because it is cor.
rupt-whieh, again, seems to be not
wholly satisfactory explanation. How
ever, every one will agree with Mr..
Mutt that nothing should be easier than
to make Characteristic selection OF
what Is most remarkable in Erse and
at the same time quite suitable for the
use of the young men and maidens who
are prepared to devote themselves tc
the study of ancient Irish. Again, as
Mr.. Mutt very naturally points out, ii
all folklore were TO be ruled out oil

it could be hardly used as school text

Deafness Cannot be Cured

A PETRlFIED SNAKE.
Perfectly Formed and Fourteen Feet
In Length.

Near the Cascade, three miles from
Susquehanna, Pa, party OF biuestone
quarrymen lately found round stone
projecting from the ground. 1t was in
the way of teams hauling stones, and
the men attempted to pun it up. The
foreman instructed his men to dig up
the stone and get it out of the way, says
the Kansas City Journal.
They dug down a few feet, but did
not reach the end of it. Another effort
was made to pull it out, and it broke off.
They continued to throw up the earth,
and as a result three long pieces were
broken off. At last the foreman con-
cluded to see where it ended After
several hours were consumed in the
work the end was reached. The men
were surprised to find, when they fin
ished their work, a perfectly-formed
serpent's head and neck.
The foreman at once concluded that
they had unearthed a petrified serpent.
The pieces were placed together and
formed a perfect snake IA feet long.
The eyes, nostrils and mouth are dis
tinct and Enthusiastically marked, as are
the dark and lighter brown spots upon
the sides. The head is about six inches
wide and decreases one-third in thick
ness from the top down.
The neck gradually grows smaller,
and then the body increases in size until
the middle is reached, where the diam
eter is six inches. From that point it
declines to the tail. One piece is miss
ing, evidently about one foot in length
The petrifaction of what are supposed
to have been the feshy parts of the
monster has a color corresponding to
red sandstone, while that of the verte-
bre is several shades lighter and softer.

A Big Industry.

The paper mill now building at
Floriston, near Reno will be one of the
