Until then tables in nautical calculations

Put away the little uetwaist
That our darling used to wear,
She Will never need it-never--
Though 1t twenty times were fair
She will never need it-never-
Promenading up and down.
While the frost is on the punkin
And the leaves are turning brown.
Put away the little netwaist.

While the mornings are 50 chilly
And the breezes are so rough
should they capcr. madly caper.
All its interstices through,
Pretty Ethel's lovely shoulders
Would be frozen black and blue.

QUEENS VISIT 10 IRELAND.

John Redmond Bespeaks Warm We'll
come to the Venerable Sovereign. "a
LONDON, March 10. In the house Of
commons Mr.. John Redmond, the Irish
Nationalist leader, declared the Irish
people had received with qualification
the announcement that her majesty had
directed that the shamrock be worn by
the Irish regiments on st. Patrick S
day, adding that the Irish people would
welcome this graceful recognition Of
the yalor Of the Irish race wherever ex-
hibited and would treat with respect
the venerable sovereign about to visit
the Irish shore, well knowing that on
that occasion no attempt would be
made to give the visit any party sig
nificance, and that their chivalrons hos
pitality would not be taken to mean any
abatement of their demands for ma
4tional rights, which they would CON
tinue to press until conceded.
Mr.. Redmond was loudly cheered,
sboth on rising and on taking his seat.
