tinuous active society since the date
Of its organization, holding monthly
meetings with the exceptional failure

at the Offices of the members. In the
last few years all meetings have been
held at DR.. Rockwell's office. For
several years the society conducted u

Bridget,s Grievance.

The wife of clever detective is said
to have powers nearly equal to those
possessed by her husband. Not long
ago she began to notice that dimes and
quarters were daily disappearing as if
by magic from the "change purse" in
which she kept silver for small pur-
chases. She was inclined to suspect
one of her two maids, sullen Irish
girl, but was unwilling to accuse her.
After some thought she wrote on a
slip of paper, Neither Bridget nor
Celia must take any money from this
purse" This slip she put into the
purse with some silver and awaited de-
velopments.
Two days later Bridget came to her
and gave warning"
"What is the matter?" asked her mis-
tress, innocently.
"I'll be going to another place." said
Bridget, vindictively, "and it's your
self that knows the rayson. I'll not

END oF FAMOUS HOSTILITY.
Hotel Where Parne11 Drew Up Irish
Campaign Plans.


Morrison's Hotel, one of the old land
marks of Dublin, is being RACED to the
ground to afford a site for offices for an
insurance company. The building has
historic associations for Irishmen, and
was once among the best patronized
and most popular hotels in Dublin. 1t
was famous as Parnell's resort.
1t was originally one of the town
houses of the Fitzgerald family, who
owned a great deal of property in the
vicinity, including the famous Leinster
house. Over the door of the hotel at
the present day are the Fitzgerald
arms, and in the supports are prom
inent figures of two monkeys, in COM
memoration of a striking family Incl
dent
When old Kilkee Castle, one Of the
seats of the Fitzgeralds, took fire, the
heir to the estate was saved by mon
key, which took the infant in his arms
and clambered from point to point with
its precious burden, finally reaching the
ground with it in safety.
Parnell's first arrest was effected at
Morrisons Hotel on Oct. 10, 1881. Par
nell was thence taken to Kilmainham
Jail, where he was confined as 'sus-
pect'' until the following May. 1t was
at this hotel that Parnell's friend, the
late DR.. ]. E. Kenny, discovered Par
nelPs extraordinary superstition. Go
ing into his writing-room one day, Par
nell saw a green cloth on the table. He
at once had 1t removed, and the same
evening he refused to enter another
room in the hotel in which three can
dies were burning. Three candlesticks
are supposed in the minds of supersti-
tious people to mean death, and green
tablecloth foretells disaster. Parrell
more than once said that the Irish
cause would never prosper until the
Irish people discarded green as their
national color for the older blue.
When in Dublin Parnell always
stayed at Morrison's up to the time of
his death. 1t was there he outlined
the national program and the agrarian
movements in Ireland.-London Mail.

oven in a pan of very hot sand, and
continually stir until it is cooked well

more simple. The peanuts the Italians

DON'T Be Afraid of Getting Too Much
Fresh Air.
Here is a man that believes in the
wide-open window, draught or no
draught. To some of you, perhaps, his
suggestions may seem a little bit too
radical at first, but he is evidently
steering in the right direction:
1t is the general opinion that if door
be opposite to a window, you must not
open that window for fear of
draughts. But that is just the window
that is best placed for being opened, as
it thereby ensures perfect renewal of
the air by causing draughts, without
which there can be no ventilation. 1t
matters not how the room is construct
ed, or where the fireplace, door and
window are relatively situated-open
the window of that room, day or night.
Open the windows in all the rooms Of
your house, and keep them open, and
you will find that you have all your
life been afraid of shadows. Pull up
the blinds and open the windows; let
in the sunlight and the pure air to ven
tilate and purify your filthy, air-stag-
nant, repulsive rooms; do not mind
rain, or fog, or wind; do not mind If
your curtains and your carpets become
sooner soiled or faded; better destroy
these than your own and your chill
dren's health.
You will be the better for it In every
way; you will feel differently. you will

Unaccounted for the hydraulic action
of Lake Michigan year after year bears
a burden of sand and silt from the
Michigan shore and faithfully deposits
it on the Illinois shore. This operation
of the lake is especially noticeable in
its southern portion about Chicago. The
waves and current bring the sand and
cast it up ashore. Drying, 1t is blown
inland, raising the level above the sur
face of the lake. This operation has
been going on for centuries, and miles
inland from the present Illinois shore
line the land bears evidence Of having
been built in this manner by the tire
less wave action of Lake Michigan.
Perhaps at one time the waters Of the
lake extended in a bulging line nearly
to the present line of the Desplaines
River The shore of Michigan oppo-
site Chicago is now becoming concave
against a counterpart convexity on the
Illinois side. But for this action of the
lake Chicago shore protection would be
much more difficult to accomplish than
it is under existing circumstances.
The present generation naturally does
not feel great concern about the lake
procedure. But in reality changes are
now going on which If continued will
some day have extraordinary effects on
the southern end Of Lake Michigan. AL
the sand that is being torn out Of the
Michigan shore is not being thrown
upon the Illinois shore. Most Of it is
precipitated on the bottom Of the lake,
especially that portion Of the lake lying
south of the latitude Of Chicago. That

Coniuring the Sharks.

In the Persian gulf the divers have a
curious way of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
conjurers, and will not descend with
out their presence. To meet this diff
ficu1ty the government is obliged to
hire the charmers to divert the atten-
ton of the sharks from the fleet. AS
the season approaches vast numbers of
natives gather along the shore and
erect huts and tents and bazaars. At
the opportune moment-usually at
midnight, so as to reach the oyster
banks at sunrise-the feet, to the
number of eighty or 100 boats, put out
to sea- Each of these boats carries two
divers, a steersman and shark
charmer and is manned by eight or
ten rowers. Other conjurers remain
on shore, twisting their bodies and
mumbling lamentations to divert the
sharks.
In case a man-eater Is perverse
enough to disregard the charm and at
tack q diver, an alarm Is given, and
no other diver will descend on that
day. The power of the conjurer is
believed to be hereditary and the eli
cacy of his incantations to be wholly
Independent of his religious faith

INDIANA

part of the lake is gradually becoming
shallower, and, with the present opera
ton of the lakes action indefinitely
prolonged, will become dry land, per-
haps interspersed with small lakes,
swamps, and sand dunes, after the
present pattern Of northern Indiana
and the Calumet region of Illinois.
When that time arrives Illinois and
Michigan will have come together in
from Lake Michigan altogether. In fact,
that portion of Indiana now submerged
is small and is rapidly growing smaller
and shallower. Without taking thought
people regard Illinois territory as ter
minating at the lake shore and the ter
ritory Of Michigan and Indiana doing
similarly. On the other hand, Illinois
and Michigan meet in the middle of
Lake Michigan-even If their boundary
line is a trifie under water. Indiana
runs northward into the lake to the
southern boundary Of Lake Michigan,
while the western boundary of Indiana
runs northward until it intersects the
southern boundary line of Michigan.
AS a result of this the northwest and
west boundary lines Of Indiana cut off
but a small portion of Lake Michigan.
North Of the Indiana line Illinois and
Michigan come together in midlake.
The fact is that the Illinois shore is
growing and the Michigan shore is re-
ceding, and slowly the middle Of the
lake moves year after year to the east
