..TNE NEARING OF The GREENE

A Catholic clergyman in New York
city expressed the wish that every
Irishman in the city would year a sprig
of green on St. Patrick's LAY (tomor-
row to show that he was an 1rishman.
This was not intended in any sense To- be
q reflection upon his adopted country,
but simply a display Of race pride or aft
lection for his native land that IS an
Unborn TRAIT of every worthy man who
revcres home and ancestry II could
not in any Just sense be lack Of
American pride that would inspire this.
for America has indeed been the land of
promise and most agreeable asylum for
immense numbers Of the sons OF
Erin The fact is there are more
members Of the Irish race here than in
Ireland ana they have prosperei and
are occupying positions Of trust in

Affection

Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers. The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
childless homes the kiss of wife and
husband grows formal, and presently is
neglected; the springs Of love in the
heart become choked for want of use
and exercise Childlessness is great
sorrow to many women. 1t is like a
curse from Nature, who bids all crea-
lures to be fruitful. It is not curse
but misfortune. Often the conditions
which cause childlcssness are removable.

LESSON THAT WAS NEEDED.
Lack of PoIiteness Drought HumiIia. ton Upon a PhiIadeIphfan
 in Munich.

A Philadelphia railroad contractor, who has recently returned from abroad, tells of an experience that be- fell him in Munich illustrative of the difference in prevailing customs, says an exchange of that city. Armed with a number of letters of introduction to European railroad officials, he made it a point to inquire into the workings of the various systems, and was treated with uniform courtesy. At Munich he thought he had acquired all the in- formation he was after, and as he passed out of the office of the man with whom he had been talking he put on his hat.
 He had scarcely been ushered out when it occurred to him thatthere was one more matter about which he had forgotten to inquire. ''I immediately 'retraced my steps," said the Philadel- phian, land again entered the office, neglecting to remove. my hat. I saw the same official with whom I had been talking, and, apologizing for taking up so much of his time, put the question to him. Withouta word he reached up, took off my hat and placed it in my hand. Then he answered my query and bowed me out. It made me feel rather cheap"

FIRST PAPER MACHINE.
FOurdrinier Machine First Intro- duced in saugerties, New
 York, fin 1927.

Saugerties is proud because the first paper machine used in America was made i'll that village. This is what the Paper Trade Journal says about it:
 "The nineteenth century will always be remarkable in the history of paper making in the United States. Early in the century-in 1s27-the Fourdrin-
 CT machine was introduced to this country at Saugerties, N. r., while the cylinder machine, as to the invention of which there are conflicting claims on behalf of British and American in- ventors, came into use in this country about ten years earlier. The Fourdrin- fer machine has been improved in al- most all it's details by United States builders, until now the high speed ma chine made in this country holds the record the world over. It has demon strated its ability to make 5sO feet of paper a minute, and keep it up, and there are builders to-day who expect that in the not far distant future that speed will be very largely increased" !"

MONTE CAKLo,s PENSION LIST.
Small Sums Paid to Persons wha Have Lost Their Fortunes in
 the Casino.

Monte Carlo, the most famous gam bling place in the world, has very curi- ous pension list. Here are inscribed the names of the men and women who have lost their. fortunes at the tables. and who are allowed small sums daily for the rest of their miserable lives. This practice, says the Ledger Month ly, which was inaugurated by Pere Blanc in his paternal care for the decaves, is also being dropped as the pensionnaires die out. The pensions now paid rsA ge from one to eight dol lars day, according to the amount which has been lost at the tables and the social position of the recipient. For instance, tall Scotchman who is a familiar figure upon the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, receives two louis (about eight dolIars) per day. He lost a million and quarter at troulette. He therefore, considers his pension suffi- cient to keep this broken vessel from coming to the ground. If one could go through the whole list, what a story might be written anent each item!
 There is no hope of the casino being closed, not even during the summer; but if people would only restrain their passion for gambling for another five years, as they showed themselves capable of doing during the winter of a96 and '97, the dividend will come out zero, and the bank will be broken, not in name only, but also in deed.

jection, the colonel determined to cul- tivate beard so superior that his erstwhile sweetheart would bewail the day she turned him down.
 With the aid of every brand of hair grower to be found in the drug stores Col. Crandall succeeded beyond his fondest anticipations. As his whis. kers grew and he became more and more an object of admiration the bit terness faded out of his heart and he turned again to the pleasures of life. He took to bicycling and became ex- tremely proficient. The other day he had race on with local scorcher and the entire community turned out to witness the sport.
 The colonel had his whiskers tied up out of the way, but while descend ing a steep hill that was part of the course sudden gust Of wind blew them loose. The whiskers caught in the front wheel and in an instant the colonel, the whiskers and the bicycle were mixed up in almost inextricable confusion. The coloneTs friends gath cred arund the wreck and a hasty ex- animation showed that the whiskers were so involved in the machinery that they could not be saved. A barber was sorrowfully summoned and in the midst of dead silence the colonel was parted from the whiskers that had made his life one long, sweet song for nearly 20 years.

EDUCATING THE INDIANS.
OmciaI Inquiries Respecting Present Methods Are to Be Set
 on Foot.


 Preliminary to expected important legislation by the next congress af- fecting Indian education, Commission CT Jones, of the Indian bureau, will try to ascertain just what measure of success has attended the instruc- tion of Indian pupils. Questions ad- dressed to Indian agents and superin- tendents are designed to show the rel ative merits of the different systems of educating Indians and the after-effects upon the life of Indian pupils who have attended schools upon the res ervation or the general educational institutions located elsewhere. To what use the Indian pupils have put their education is asked, and also whether their course in life after re- turning to the reservation indicates that their career will be that of the average white person. Commissioner Jones is seeking to make the inquiries of practical value, and he asks for rela- tive statements by those in immediat te charge of the Indians as to the status of those Indian pupils who have att tended and are now attending Indian schools.

In our country, says Fl Correo de Sonoro, we have the following:
 The highest mountain in North America, Popocatapetl; the deepest mine in the world. Valenciana; the richest vein in the world, and the one which has yielded the most silver, that of the mountain of Guanaiuato: the most extensive and wonderful caves, those of Cacahuamilpa and Villa Garsia; the oldest city in the Americas, formerly Tollan, now Tola; the oldest commercial house in America, the book store of Abadano, founded 211 years ago; the city in which printing was first established in the new world, Mexico, in 1533; the sanctuary most venerated in America, that of Guadaloupe, with which only may Ee compared that of Lourdcs in France: the people whose tongue, like that of the Basques, can not be classified among any of the continent, the Seri; the capital with a higher altitude than the other cities of it's country, Mexico; the big gest known tree, the Santa Maria del Tu1e," in Oaxaca; the most re gently created volcano, Jorullo; finally, the ruler now in power who has dore most to preserve peace in all the countries of America freed from Spanish rule, Gen.

England is interested in the pre- tensions of certain English women who are peeresses in their own right, and believe that they can sit in the house of lords if they choose and help govern the empire. It is cen turies since 8 peeress has done it, but there is to be fancy dress corona ton in London next year, and Lon don gossip says that certain of these self-regulating peeresses propose to go to it as members of the house of lords and have their trains borne by pages, as the peers do.

WISDOM OF SOLOMON.
Displayed by a Chicago Justice who Made Mothers Trade sons and
 Give Them a Spanking.

The Chicago papers say that new Solomon has sprung up in the suburbs of that city, and so faithfully was his wisdom applied that two small boys got the most complete spankings of their young and troubled lives. The spankings were gilt-edged in every de- tail because they were administered by hostile mothers who had traded boys for the occasion. There was real and soulful satisfaction in it for the mothers, but the boys, with dulled and dwarfed sense of humor, were un- able to see where the fun came in.
 Justice Lehman, of Harlem, was the Solomon. Mrs. M. Klemp and Mrs. Sarah Martin, who live in Elm street,

 Two rocking chairs were placed op- posite each other on the piazza, and while Cordelia~was making-the lem onade, Tom gazed around with boy ish delight. The piazza was screened from the road by honeysuckles and Wistarias, and he could count at least a dozen butterflies sailing content edly about.
