: FROM IRELAND !

+ FROM IRELAND !
A Friar of the Penal Days.
A barefoot friar all in brown,
Weather-beat face and storm-rent
gown,
Nattered hood over shaven crown,
Travelleth as the sun goes down.
Whittier ere morning goeth he?
Over the bog he moveth free;
Bog so brown it were hard to see
That brown man travelling patiently.
Hidden under his threadbare vest
He hOldeth One close to his breast
20 Lord, i'll what poor place of rest
This winters eve Thou harborest?'
Deep in the pools the red lights die,
Darkness veileth the western sky;
Only the plover CRY and cry
Amens to prayer as they vanish by.
Who are these thou barefoot man,
Weak and weary and under a ban,
Who meet thee in the starlight wan?
COlumb and Patrick and Adamnan.
Three with torches faint and white,
Threading the holes to give thee light.
Bowling before the One of might,
Thou Dearest with thee through the
night.
Now the dawn opes in the East,
There's the altar and here's the priest:
Welcome now to the last and least
Who hunger for the Masters feast.
Table Of rock and cloth of moss
(Gold and silver are Mammon's dross).
Rude is the stone and rude the cross,
o Christ our gain, o world our loss.
Ye banned and outlawed of the faith!
Shrive We now with bated breath;
Hittar the hunter lmsteneth.
Fear not the little pain Of death.
Shines the moon DER the curling sea,
Signs the wind in the white-thorD
tree.
IN hn 1uIIc n
blows free
SWingeth a figure dolorously.
A barefoot friar all in brown,
Weather-beat face and threadbare
gown,
Girdle of rope and shaven crown
Swingeth he as the moon goes down.

Oh the moment was sad when my love
and 1 parted
Savourneen deelish Eileen oge!
As l kissed off her tears 1 was near
brOken-hearted-
Savourneen deelish Eileen oge!
Wan was her cheek, which hung Oh

Damp was her hand, no marble was

When the word Of command put our
men into motion,
Savourneen deelish Eileen oge!
l buckled on my knapsack to cross the
wide ocean,
Savourneen deelish Eileen oge!
Brisk were our troops, all roaring like
thunder,
Pleased with the voyage, impatient
for plumber,
NV bosom with grief was nigh torn
asunder,
Savourneen deelish Eileen oge!
Long fought for my country, far far
from my true love
Savourneen deelish Eileen oge!
All my pay and my booty 1 noarded
for you, love.

Peace was proclaimed-escaped from

Landed at home. my sweet girl L

But sorrow, alas! to the cold grave

by j. II. Freeze OF Harvard at the

same apparatus that is used in photo
graphing the spectra of the stars. This
apparatus consists Of an eight-inch or
eleven-inch telescope with a camera Mt
one end and a prism at the other, the
latter being placed in front Of the OBJ

ject photographed into parallel bands

Of these spectra arises from the fact
that the various elements of the at

THE FORTY THIEVES"

Band ~ Troopers In south Africa Gets
Pay In Loot.
The little band of troopers fighting
for England in the Transvaal and
known as LOTIONS Horse, is aptly
called The Forty Thieves by friend
and foe. LOTIONS aggregation is prob
ably the most peculiar element OF the
army in South Africa. England's war
Office furnishes the equipment of the
troopers. which includes two horses,
full uniform, rife and ammunition, but
that is all. No one, officer or man, in
LOTIONS Horse draws a cent Of A
from the British war funds. In lieu
Of pay the corps gets rs per cent Of the
loot, and, II what was seen in June
very well paid arm OF the service.
There was then a division of the pro-
ceeds of their joint earnings for three
months, and each mans share
amounted to a little more than 1880.
The corps gave a ball in the town
hall to provide amusement for itself
and it's friends, and the 100 men then
comprising the command spent 81 5000
In this entertainment. Nothing was
safe from the rapacity Of this gay
gang. and anything OF commercial
value. whether IL belonged to friend
or foe, was always brought to head
quarters. Sometimes the owner could
recover his property IL he could show
conclusively his loyalty. but generally
the animals or goods were sent to
Durham or Petermaritzburg and sold.

People in the United States who ara
grumbling about high taxes should
find much consolation In the knowl-
edge that their property is not situated
in any OF the European capitals. In
Berlin. for example. the great Ameri-
can life insurance companies are re-
CURED to invest a certain portion of
their assets in city property. and their
taxes, which are no higher than those
OF other real estate owners. amount
annually 10 more than one-third o.
their rec' 3 from rentals. In Vienna
taxes are even higher. The mar who
owns the building in which the Amerl-
can legation is located divides the rent
with the government in equal shares,
The same rates prevail in other large
European cities.

Our...
Cotton Crop

This country Is the greatest cotton
grower in the world. Texas alone pro-
duces more than any foreign country.
The cotton crop Ia worth almost as
much as the wheat crop, and two
thirds OF 1t is exported. The third that
remains at home has become a bone OF
contention between the New England
and the southern mills, and recent de-
velopments indicate that the southern
ers may get the best of it. They have
a quarter OF the spindles in operation
In the country, having doubled the
number in the five years from 1890 to
1895. and doubled II again since the
latter date. The southern mills use
two-ffths of the cotton that stays at
home, and at times have been able to
pay the grower one-half cent more a
pound than he could obtain at New
York or Liverpool. The south suffered
from the war, but long ago her people
began to draw new strength from their
adversely. The capacity for manage
ment and the quality of labor have both
improved, so that she is ready to take
hold OF manufacturing industries and
make them pay. Her new energies are
going largely into cotton manufactur-
Ing, and that will mean a firmer basis
for raw cotton production than it has
ever had before.
Cotton is grown in seventeen states
and territories and ranks first in six
Of these 1t has gone west of the Mis-
sIssippi river and become the chief crop
Of Texas. II Is pushing back wheat.

has been able to hasten its maturity,
and cheat the frost. so that the cotton
