Catholic Ireland was wickedly perverse.
The father and mother who could do so
scraped and gathered and pinched them
selves and the rest OF the family to the
point of starvation, to get enough cash
TO send one son to the continent, there
to gather some crumbs OF that knowl-
edge which the Irish have ever wor-
SHIPPED. In those days few smuggling
smacks stole out of forgotten Irish bays
that did not bear away to France pre-
cious burden, soft STRIPPING in whom
were centered the hopes and fears, and
the very soul OF the mother WHO walled
upon the shore, and the father whose
grief found no outward expression. But
this was a hazardous proceeding, and
the parents who were proven to have
been guilty of the fragrant crime quickly
felt the heavy hand Of justice laid upon
them. So must confess that our peo-
pie did shamefully lapse into ignorance
Ignorance dense and deep. And when
our English friends scornfully twit us
with our ignorance they have truth on
their side: and when their statesmen tell
the world the Irish are no better than
Hottcntots, they have history to prove
it."

Ireland's Social Revolution.

Scumas MacManus, a rising Irish
story-tcllcr, writes in the Catholic World
Magazine for July concerning a rcvolu

that have brought about this revolution
he places school education as the fore
most. He says:
First amongst these causes | place
the spread OF school education. For a

is it dawning upon the English poll

phrase may have outlived its truth. But
yesterday one of England's leading lords
and statesmen Lord Salisbury likcncd
us to Hottcntots-and, think, did so
honcst-mindedly. l dare say we poor

time, long, long ago, before God be-

A Chinaman's Strange Invention.

In the eleventh century there was born
a young Chinanan, who was named
Chow Lien Chi.-Nothing remarkable
in this, lots Of lis have been born But
young Chow was fellow who fished
and roamcd about good deal, and this
it was that brought him-not into trout
bic, but into notoriety
One day in his rambling he found
cave. The cave ran through hill and
had an entrance on each side OF it. Both
entrances were rather crescent shaped
with the concavc sides OF the crescents
facing each other. The cave itself was
round as moon, inside Out of these
opposed cresccnts and the moon-shaped
cave he evolved diagram that has be-
come noted among the Chinese. This
diagram, the Great Monad, was used to
illustrate system OF philosophy estab-
lishcd by Fuh Hi, 5000 years before
Christ was born and, of course, 1000
years before Chow found his wonderful
cave,
1t is now used also as a symbol for
something else. From the mysteries of
an ancient Chinese philosophy it has
been dragged forth 10 illustrate the mod
crl American system Of transportation.
1t has, so TO speak, capcd across a gulf
OF nearly nine centuries, become mod
crn invention. as il were, and now does
duty as the trade mark Of the Northern
Pacific Railway company.
This line, starting from the heart OF
the American continent, stretches west
ward to the sea whose waters battle
alike the shores of America and China.
From the other side OF the great ocean
this symbol comes. not only down the
long centuries, but across the watcry
waste, to meet the glistcning rails and
thus to link closely together the ancient
and the modern. the heather and the
Christian, the Monaghan and the Cauca-
sian.
This design is a circle in form, the
center composed OF two ccl-sllapcd crcs-
cents. one above the other. The upper
crescent is either red or white, the lower
one black. The original Monad has GER
tain mystic characters grouped around
the crcsccnts, the new adaptation of it
has the words Northern Pacific and
Yellowstone Park encircling the cres-
cents In the Chinese Monad these
crcscents are known as Yang and Yin,
the male and female principles OF life.
In the new, they stand for Motion and
Rest Force and Matter.
In China this Monad has a wonderful
potency 1t wards off evil, disease,
harm and is hung up over the doors,
etc, TO guard against evil spirits. Who
shall say that it has not also the same
power in its new field? Why should it
not, cscu;chconcd upon the cars of the
company's trains, also ward off harm.
prevent accident? Why should its po-
tcncy be lcsscncd in its transplanting?
This design or trade mark is now to
be seen upon the railway company's sta
tioncry, cars, printed matter and on the
windows OF its ticket Offices. Its strik-
ing, eye-likc appearance, like the eye
CT the Ancient Mariner, holds one as
with spell.
To Mr.. Z. H. McHcnry, chief cngi-
ncer, and Mr.. Chas. S. Fec, general pas
