THE IRELAND OF TODAY.
More Prosperous Than Formerly, But
Its Main Lack Is in the Manu-
featuring Line.

Ri. Hon. James Bryce, careful OBJ
server, and Mr.. Seumas MacManus, the
Irish writer, agree that Ireland to-day
is enjoying comparative prosperity.
The people are living better, their food
IS of higher grade, the bank deposits
have decreased, the farm rents are
lower, and the returns from work are
larger. The main reason why it does
not take its place as one of the rich
countries of the world is its lack Of
manufacturing. 1t exists mainly on its
agriculture and its fisheries, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
Ireland contains 80, 337 square miles,
not including the 1876 little islands
which add 246 square miles to the total.
1t is not quite so large as Indiana, and
Is little larger than South Carolina.
The Philippine islands are four times
the size of all Ireland. Less than five
years ago a commission appointed by
parliament reported that there had
been placed upon Ireland a taxation
burden which it was unable to bear,
and that something should be done.
Thus came the new land act. which was
a mitigation, but not a reform, of the
evils

CHAFFING TABOOED.
Council of Illinois Town Decide That
Nicknamins and "Guying'
Must Cease.

Niclnaming at Westfield, ILL.,, must
cease. The city council has so deter
mined, and has passed an ordinance
making such offense punishable by a
fine of SIS to 500, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Westfield is a college town, and her
people can read Greek and Latin; they
know philosophy and are able to call
the stars by name, but at the same
time they understand the art of manu-
featuring and bestowing a nickname
that has some real significance. Street
"guying' is also favorite pastime of
the street loafer, and many country
swain who brings the lady of his
hearts desire to town on Sunday to re-
fresh her with soda water and choco-
lates has learned to his sorrow that
the "course of true love never did run
smooth" SO obnoxious has this state
of affairs become that at the last
meeting of the city council Alderman
Hemphill introduced an ordinance the
substance of which is as follows:
"Be It ordained that any person who
disturbs any inhabitant of the village
of Westfield by the use of annoying
nicknamcs, jeering, guying, traducing
or defaming, upon arrest and convic-
ton of such parties they shall be
fined no less than IS nor to exceed
800"
1t is generally understood that this
ordinance is not intended to prohibit
the use OF endearing or pet names, but
many of the nicknames now in vogue
will cease to be part of the city's vo-
cabulary. The law promises to bring
about a reformation.
The people of Westfield looked upon
the ordinance as q sort Of joke at
first, but The authorities declared their
purpose to carry out the law a serious
one. and now all await the initial test
| case with great interest. 1t is not
unlikely that the matter will finally
reach the higher courts.
There has been a striking diminu-
ton in the use of nicknames and in
! the habit of chatting since the ordi-
nance was passed.

PUMPING OUT A SCOW.
IL IL the Easiest Problem the River
Man HasJuSt Pull the Plug
Out and Haul,

"Nobody who knows anything
about boats worries over a few feet
of water in a scow if the water isn't
too deep" said a river man to New
York Sun reporter. Getting it out
is the easiest job in the world.
"Scows, as everybody knows, are
fat bottomed, and up forward in the
bottom of every one is a plug as big
around as a mans two fists. Dozens
of empty scows nil up with water
and lie at the piers with only the
deck afloat every year. 1t doesn't
hurt them. The owner just lets them
lie so till they're wanted. Then he
sends tugboat alongside and she
bitches on. A man goes aboard the
scow and pulls out the plug.
"Does the scow sink? Nary a
foot. AS the tug starts her up you
see she lifts the old scow up some,
and the result is that the water in
the scow pours out through the plug
hole. It's hard pulling at first, but
the faster the tug hauls the higher
goes the scow bow and the quicker
the water goes out, till the scow's

or so the plug can be replaced and

RANCH NAMED FOR M'KINLEY.

the Presidents First Election

A good many children of the male
persuasion have been named after
President Mckinley, but it has re-

fasten the presidential cognomen
upon tract of land, says the Chi
cago Record-Herald The first gen
tleman of the republic Toasted brief
season ago upon some of the most
luscious fruit it had ever been his
privilege to sample. Grape fruit it
was; large, juicy, grateful and COM
forting. The label on the basket
showed it to be from THE Mckinley
tract, Redlands, Cal" After eating
of the fruit the president had to sug-
gest the story, and here it is: Mrs.
David Morey, a woman who was the
pioneer in the growing of oranges in
the Redlands section, feasted her eyes
several years ago upon a nine-acre
tract of land adjoining some of her
property. She wanted to buy, but the
owner said her nay. He wanted the
tract himself.
just before the first Mckinley cleo
ton, however, the owner. being in
need of money, told Mrs. Morey she
might have the acres And then it
was the lady's turn to hesitate She

The days of the old forecastle, hung
away in the dark hold under the for
ward mast, are gone forever, no mat
ter what flag the vessel may carry.
The forecastle on new steel ships is in
a deckhouse, well forward On Amer
lean ships it is ventilated like the
shippers cabin in the stern of the
ship, has skylight and apparatus for
heating. The men used to eat with
their plates on their knees; now they
have mess table with racks to hold
the dishes in place in rough weather.
Tanks on top of the house supply
running water, and the reason modern
forecastles do not have bathtubs is
that the sailors would rather take
their baths on deck by throwing cold
water over one another.
