RosEBERY ON IRISH QUESTION.
Former British Premier. Says It is ALL
Important Now.

dispatch from Liverpoo! yesterday SAYS:
Lord Rosebery received a tremendous ova-
ton at the great liberal demonstration here
this evening. His lengthy speech. the prin-
cipal one of the evening, was attentively
received and heartily applauded. He failed
TO throw any fresh light on the war situa-
tion but he strongly emphasized his hostili-
ty to the Irish party and his desire TO utter
ly ALLEVIATE it from the liberal camp
During his remarks Lord Rosebery said
that the greatest change in heart and head
undergone during his five years absence
from public life was in regard to the Irish
problem. Mr.. GladStOneS bills We're dead
and buried, though that statement cast no
reflection on the great statesman who origi-
mated them. The Irish party had now in
dignantly repudiated any connection with
acted wisely. 1t was to their interests and
those of the liberal party. The Irish lead
ers had played their full hand. They had
demanded an Independent parliament in
Dublin and thereul|on he had cried Halt. :
This remark greeted with appla use
Continuing. Lord Rosebery said
Il am not prepared at any time under
any circumstances to grant them an indie
pendent parliament. No sane person would
ever consent to handing over the destinies
of Ireland. situated in the very heart of the
empire. to a parliament controlled by those
who have expressed the earnest wish tha
we might be overthrown in battle The
Irish question is too large fer any one
party. 1t Will need the energy and the
patriotism of both great parties. to deal
Herewith. These are my personal senti-
ments. but | wish to make them perfectly
clear on returning to public life"
Regarding the war. Lord ReSebery said
he had been ignorantly criticised for the
suggestion of casual peace negotiations
in some wayside inn but that he thought
the recent mission of DR.. kuyper, the
Dutch premier, bore fairly close analogy
to such a course. The speaker said he
thought the reply of Lord Lansdowne, the
under secretary for foreign afTairs. to DR..
kuyper was fitting and dignitied, but he
thought the government had acted wrong
fully in declining to reckon with the Boer
delegates in Europe and allow them to
send deputaton to South Africa.
THE trouble with the government, said
Lord Rosebery, lis that they are always
thinking of the present. ! try TO think of
the future, when Boer and Briton will have
to live together in South Africa -----.-s-
The speaker appealed for an immediate
and a searching inquiry into the remount
scandal and commented generally upon the
governments seeming want of a definite
policy in Malta and Wei-Hai-Wei. In con-
clusion. he begged that his hearers would
not be too ready to allow their hands to be
tied by the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

Fifteen dollars!" echoed Flanagan.
Good gracious, is there so much gold
in the World? Right, sorrl'
So Patsy dressed himself in the
lions skin and lay down in the cage.
The menagerie doors we're opened and
the performance commenced.
Ladies and gentlemen said the
keeper, ito show the wonderful docil-

the lion in the cage with the tiger"
"Man, are ye mad?" said Patsy.
Think of me wolfe and children"
Get in" replied the keeper, "or
I'll run this pitchfork through you"
Patsy thought he might as well die
one way as another, so he crawled
into the tigers cage, and when he saw
the animals big, ferocious eyes fixed
on him he uttered a doleful wall and
commenced praying in Irish. The
tiger walked over to him.
Whats the matter wild ye?" said
nc; "shure, man, ye needn't be afraid

Why are sea birds white, is a ques-
ton that is often asked. Many learned
men have attempted to solve the prob
lem and among the reasons they have
given is the one that enemies which
prey upon birds of white plumage at
sea are very few, and so those birds
have escaped and have increased in
numbers. Then, too, It's said that the
fishes and other creatures of the sea
upon which sea birds live can see
their enemies best when they have
black coats, and thus escape them.
White plumaged birds usually have,
however, some few black markings,
either on their wings or tails, which
serve as a badge by which they may
be recognized by their friends. Thus
the young birds can easily detect their
mother while out on the water and
follow her to the places where food
can be secured. The colors Of sea birds
correspond with those of the fishes on
which they feed. Most fishes are dark
above and light beneath, this arrange
ment of color helping them to escape
observation. It is, no doubt, an ad-
vantage to the birds to have their
white feathers turned seward, SO that
they may be less easily seen by the
fishes they are in search of. Eagles,
which have taken to fishing, are col
ored like the other sea fowls, instead
of being like their relatives who feed
upon land creatures.

Who bides beneath a roof to-day,
II he may set his foot abroad
Along the woodsy outland way,
Is little better than a clod!
There is no thing in all the land
That does not seem artculate'
The grasses smile, and understand
The vireo calling to his mate.
Tall pine-tops unto pine-tops breathe
In sighings murmurous as the sea;
And through the birchen copse beneath
There runs a hutting harmony.
In the half-dusks Of tangled green
The pale wild-rose's censor burns,
And in each hollow nay be seen
The fragile laceries of the ferns.
While over all, for all to share,
Placid and pure and wide and high.
Mist-winnowed by the searching air,
Broods motherly Gods open sky.
Then grip the oak-stah, We who may
And set the pilgrims foot abroadi
Who, willing. bides within to-day
Is little better than a clod!
