That the English and the Irish, liv-
ing under the same physical cond1-
tons, should have the most opposite
characteristics Of any two people in
the world is one of the mysteries. The
physical conditions of the two races
are almost identical. Ireland, like Eng
land, being insular, with q surface
marked by moderate Irregularities and
possessing a moist and equab1e climate,
the chief differences being that Ire
land is rather more mountainous than
England and It's climate being little
milder and wetter. Yet the two peO-
pies are sharply contrasted in temper
ament and character.
The Irish are as impulsive, mercu-
| rial, humorous and unmethodical as
the English are stolid, orderly and
practical. In war the Irish are most
successful in attack, the English in
defense. The Irishman enters into
matrimony with his heart only, the
Englishman calculates the cost of mar
rage before making a proposal. Irish
| literature Is more witty, more tender,
| more glowing than English, but Is
less solid and enduring.
The contrast of character is most
strikingly demonstrated by the fact
that the two nations, during an inter
course of more than seven centuries,
have never been able to thoroughly I'M
derstand each other, and, apart from
artificial difficulties manufactured by
INSCRIPTIONS agitators, the real differ
ences between the two countries have
been entirely due to mutual misun-
Outstanding of each others character
istics.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

A Great Many Eyes Ruined by At

Looking back now to the time When
the itinerant quack doctor and the
wandering dentist spread misery anc
destruction over the land, we wonder
at the ignorance or carelessness of our
fathers in trusting their teeth or ever
their lives to hands SO untrustworthy
A very similar thing is done today Ds
people who buy spectacles or eyegiass
es from men who sell them on Inv
streets or have their eyes fitted by OF
ticians who have no qualifications FOL
doing the work.
A surprising number of people buy
their glasses from vendors on th'
streets. They get glasses for Oh centi
which seem to them just as good as
pair they would pay s. for hayiAt
made on an ocuIist's prescription, ant
they think they have saved money
Glasses acquired In all sorts OF way
by inheritance or exchange. from

streets are used to the detriment' evel

"People seem to think glasses ar
like clothes said an old oculist tn
other day "and if they are fairly com
Portable and look well they ask n
further questions.
Another way in which people dam
age their eyes is through carelessnes
in trying to remove dust or cinder
from them. They try themselves,
friend tries a rub, the nearest dru
store and the nearest optician are cal
ed on, all before an oculist is CONSUL
ed. The result is that the eyebah

in many instances permanent injury

Some of the Odd Expenses the Cow
eminent Has to Bear.
Every one knows that it costs almost
$500, 100000 q year to run the United
States government In times Of peace
and that the department Of war and
the navy, the Indian and pension bu-
reaus absorb the larger part of this
amount, but in the course of years a
large number of dependents upon I'm
Gle Sans purse have come into being
of which the general public knows lit
tie.
Such, for example, are the interna'
tional bureau for the repression Of the
African slave trade, located at Brus
sells, a highly laudable Institution, tc
the expenses of which our government
contributes 500 year; the interna
tional bureau of weights and measures
also at Brussels, to which $2,27O is con
tributed, and the International Geodet
ic association, the expenses OF which
our government shares to the extern
of 81 800 yearly.

NoONTIDE.

From portals that glowed with the rarest splendc
stiller than roses unfold and die,
She came and passed in her grace 50 tender,
And nsontide hangs IN the silent sky.
The butterflies fit in the drewsy weather
Hitler and yon in q mary reel
Or dreamily fan their wings together
To the rune Of the locust's droning wheel.
In zigzag courses the fences simmer.
Fervid and faint in the pallid moon
The corn leaves curl and the poplars glimmer
And drowsily wait for the south winds boon.
And airy and white as wing drifts over,
Filmy and fair in the silent blue,
A ghost Of cloud. Through fields Of clover
Ita shadow is trailing slowly through.
The poplar leaves in the silence culver,
Restless In slumber, while all things seem
The birds and the bees and the shaded river
Tapped in the maze Of = noontide dream.

the others with whatever they chanc-
ed to catch up, all racing through the
thick, whirling dust to the designated
place of refuge.
In fact, it was the most suitable one
within their reach, being really low
dug out" in the side of small hill,
the front or open side facing south and
filed in with a sod WALL containing
only a small, rough door and tiny
window whose four small panes were
thickly coated with dust.
In they rushed pellmell, causing wild
discontinue to the usual occupants of
this abode, which few, nuttering and
cackling wildly, from their rude nests
and perches. The father was in the
act of closing the door after the last
one was in when it was pushed violent
ly open from without, and Albrecht
and his mother, lacking such shelter
of their own, flung themselves among
them.
Then the door, like that of the ark,
was shut and braced by the fathers
stout shoulder. And none too soon,
for the air was thick with flying debris.
There were IL of them-more souls
than the ark carried and crowded into
a much smaller space, but that matter
ed little at such time.
The fowls screamed, the children
walled, the big mother and the little
mother rocked and prayed in each 9TH
er's arms, and the father bemoaned
his farm and stock; but as for Vlasta--
the cyclone had given her what the
fates had otherwise denied, and the up
roar and danger were all dominated by
the joy that ;Albrecht was again beside
her, so close &hat she could almost feel
his deep, hurried breathing.
1t was but a moment, and then, with
deafening roar, rush of darkness, a
choking breath of sulphur, the storm
center was upon them.
| Vlasta remembered how it happened
but when she was able ito realize any
thing her arms were around Albrecht's
neck and he was holding her to hiH
and murmuring words Of endearment
| which she felt rather than heard. ''My
love, my little one"-though she wa
as tall as he-"do not fear. will keel
thee safe. 1, thy own beloved"
Vlasta's pet white pullet fiutteret
on their shoulders like the white wing
ed dove of peace. The storm wen
swiftly on its resistless way, leaving
desolation behind it.
Their houses were in ruins, their lit
tie possessions torn to pieces or scatter
ed far and wide, even large part o
the growing crops rooted up or groun'
into the soil.
But their lives were spared, and the,
are hardy and courageous. Sod house
can soon rise again and other crop

WHY CATS WASH AFTER EATING.

You may have noticed, little friends,
That cats don't wash their faces
Before they eat as children do,
In all good Christian places.
Well, years ago famous cat,
The pangs Of hunger feeling,
Had CHANGED to catch fine young mouse,
Who said as he ceased squealing:
"All genteel folks their faces wash
Before they think OF eatingi"
And, wishing to be thought well bred,
Puss needed his entreating.
But when she raised her paw to wash,
Chance for escape afording,
The sly young mouse said his goodby
Without respect to wording.
A feline council met that day
And passed in solemn meeting
A law forbidding any cat
To wash till after eating Outlook.
