1892. The men who took part in the
Irish stcp-danccs appeared not in the
conventional evening dress, but in knee
breecles and low shoes with buckles
and the swallow-tailed coat which is
still the everyday garb Of the older
men in remote parts of county Galway.
The leading dancing man, Mr.. John

he signs his name in Irish and wears
the Old Irish yellOw-brOwn kilt, even
in the streets of London. If Mr.. Glib
son succeeds his father in the pcerage
as in the course of nature he probably
will, and If lie continues to wear his
Irish dress, that ancient kilt will ap
pear for the first time in the house OF
lords. Doubtless the Irish chcftars
who came over to visit Queen Eliza
beth. and their rctaincrs, wore it in tho
streets of the London of "(;dod Queer
RcSs," but its appearance in the house
OF lords in the twentieth century will
cause a sensation. Only a short tim,
ago a young Irish member of parlia
mcnt attempted to address the hOllst
of commons in Irish. The speaker for
lmdc him. and he was compelled to de-
liver his remarks in English; but tho
house Of lords is Il more SOmnOlcnt as
srmbly. ana it would be conpnrativcl,
easy to fire off" an Irish uration there
and it may yet he done. Some Of tho
Irish members regularly sign the ro
of the house of commons in Irish, and
no one intcrfcrcs with them. At first
the politicians looked askancc at this
movement, and ] am not quite sure
that they are even now very friendly
TO it-with the noteworthy exception OF
Mr.. John Redmond, who is. 1t is moi
a political movement, and some of its

to the verse
"No boarded wealth did my love own,
Save the good sword that he bore;

all bounds. and though the song was
unfinished. the audience cheerel loud
and long and Miss Johnstone had to
wait before she could continue. After
100 years of mixed government and
misgovcrnmcnt in Ireland, England's
control of that country rests on the
power of the sword and the power Of
| the sword alone. She has never once
touched Irelamls heart. That was one
lesson to be lcarned from the fierce
defiant cheering of those young men,
aliens in the capital of England, in the
capital of the British empire. And the
other lesson was the sllortsightedness
of those who imagine that there is
nothing in the Irish question except
the land question. These young fcl-
lows had nothing to do with the land.
They were clerks, artists medical STU
dents. with sprinklng of professional
men, doctors lawyers, journalists, and
a few priests Their passion was ma
tional. not agrarian. England's pres
cnt policy of ignoring the revival Of
the Irish language is far wiser and
more statesmanlike than her old policy
Of repression. 1t is much wiser to let
rival languages work out their own
destiny. No amount of legislation will
ever make it cthically wrong to speak
one language rather than another. All
the countries in the world could never
by legislation or by force persuade a
single Englishman that it was immoral
to speak English. And all England's
efforts have never persuaded single
Irishman that it is immoral to speak
Irish, and they never will

of 1rish-speaking parents, who has dis

medals for singing at the numerous
musical festivals. like the Welch
Eisteddfotldan, which have suddenly
sprung up all over Ireland. It is in
teresting to note that the young lady
who played the violin solos was niece
of the late great surgeon, Sir William
MacCOrmac, who was sent to South
Africa as a special expert when the
Outcry about the state of the military

Once year this London branch Of
the Gaelic league gives a great Irish
concert in the Queens hall, near the
I.angham hotel. This is one of the
largest concert halls in London (the
great Albert hall, of course, exceptcD,
and seats over 5000 persons. The con-
cert for 1902 was held the other day,
and 1 attended. What I saw was a
revelation to me.
Except few seats in the more eX-
pensive stalls. the hall was filled with
a youthful and enthusiastic audience.
There was an enormously long pro
gram, consisting of twenty-six songs,
twelve being in Irish and fourteen in
English (but OH Irish themes; a num-
Der Of harp solos and six items per
formed by band Of lady harpists; six
| items performed OIL the Irish bagpipes

evening was an Irish-A american, Nh

created the part of ''Shamus'' in DR.
mus O'I'rien.' He was recalled five
times after singing Tom Davis '"The

1913 will remember. Thomas Davis
was Trinity college man and Prot

having devoted his short life to the
task of reconciling Irish Protestants
and Roman Catholics in a common ma
tionalism. Much of his writing is
fiercely anti-English and anti-NOrman
The more fiercely anti-English his

If no attempt had been made to crust
the Irish language and Irish customs
and Irish dress by stringent and crue
repressive measures. there would have
been nothing anti-English in their per
petuation or in their revival Such at
tempts at repression always fail. The
passionate attachment of the English
people to their own language original
ed in the attempt of their Norman con
querors to substitute French for Eng
lish by force. There was no chance OF
French becoming the language of Eng

policy was pursued with the result that

ways regarded as an anti-English tri.
umph.
This feeling was intensely marked
all through the Gaelic league concert.

An Ideal Sleeping Room.

What shall we put into our sleeping
room? Nothing that cannot be cleansed
or renewed. The ideal sleeping room
will have neither paint nor paper on it's
walls. The woodwork will be Of hard
wood finished in oil or simply varnish-
ed. The walls should be finished in
hard plaster and tinted; then they can
be easily cleaned. The windows will
be low and of large size to let in all the
sun and air possible. The floor will be
Of hard wood, oiled or vanished, and
have the dust wiped up every day.
There will be fireplace, where little
fire on the hearth in cold weather will
help ventilate, especially in case Of
sickness.
We may have rugs on our floor as
cheap or costly as our purses will al
low, but the less we have the better
the. air. The draperies at the windows
will be Of thin washable material, and
often washed. The furniture will be
light, without carvings to catch the
dust. Stuffed chairs, lounges and wool.
en- hangings will not find place here.
A set bowl. with hot and cold water, is
very convenient. but not always safe;
therefore leave it in the bathroom.
Have portable one in the sleeping
room, and be on the safe side. --ss-f

KITCHEN HELPS.

Cooks should be cautioned to keep all
cooking utensils perfectly clean.
II you want to boil weter quickly,
throw little salt In it. This will ma.
terially hurry the process.
The kitchen should be spotless. Sor.
row 1t is that so many Of them are not.
Habit and lack Of forethought are In
the main responsible.
Wipe frying pans out clean with pa.
per before putting in dishwater. Pans
should also have a periodic boiling out
In soda water.
When anything boils over on the
stove. sprinkle salt quickly over the
place. This will prevent the fumes
from rising and making the house
smell disagreeablc.
Sometimes a large roasting pan gets
rusty. To prevent rust wash it well
after using, dry 1t in the oven, then,
while warm, rub 1t over with q creased
cloth and hang it away.
When you have any messy" task Oh

over fruit, etc., lay an old newspaper
on the table, gather the litter up with

securing the table.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafnessi is caused by an infamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by

There is no occasion which more inn

and tact upon the part Of a mother
than when she feels herself required to

Dropping Shoulders.

Growing girls who are tall for their
age frequently allow the shoulders to
droop forward and thus contract the
STOPPING habit This tendency should
be corrected the first time it is observ.
ed. Braces will rather injure the child,
for the reason that they prevent the
exercise of those muscles which should
be trained to produce an erect carriage.
High pillows and soft mattresses
should be avoided, fiat. hard bed,
with low pillow, being preferable for
growing child. A five minute exercise
in walking with book on the head is
of great benefit if practiced daily.

Asphalt ravements.

sylvania avenue in Washington with
asphalt. That was the beginning OF
the general use of the scientific mys-
terry for street pavements. To-day
over 100000 square feet Of street
pavements In thes United States and
Canada are covered with asphalt. This
asphalt pavement would make boule-
ward twenty-six feet wide over 1,750
miles long and would reach from New
York to New Orleans, and then have
several miles for side streets.

KNOW also tnat TO-DAY the FOUNDATIONS OF
justice are broken up because the in
Cqval:.ies of our schemes of taxatiCn
have compelled the relatively poor to
believe that there is one law for them
and another law for the rich. All
students of finance know that the
actual administration of the laws re-
lating to taxation in every one OF our
American commemorative amounts to
what the poor man in his ignorance be-
lieves it to be. In all matters of taxa
ton there is one law for the rich and an
other law for the poor, and nobody but
fool or liar ever thinks of denying it.
Now here assuredly, is field for the
rich man who desires to make use of
his wealth that will benefit mankind in
the highest degree. OF all possible
benefactions which the people of this
American republic may hope to receive
from the Almighty from his promis-
ing creature the "Magnate"- estab-
lishment of justice would be inconceiv-
ably the greatest And the very foun-
dations of justice are laid in the law
and in the administration of taxation.
Therefore, nothing that the rich man
could possibly do would be so glorious,
so helpful, SO commendable on every &C
count as conservation of his wealth to
the rectifcation of taxation.
He could begin by requiring the as
| SCISSORS to hand him true bill of his own
obligations to the public. He could con-
tinue the good work by persuading the
collector to accept check for the whole
amount This would make but small
draft upon his total accumulations. A
further considerable sum he could wise
ly devote to paying the salaries of honor
able lobbyists, who should labor with
legislative bodies to secure the enact
ment of just laws, which would relieve
hard working farmers, struggling shop
mortgaged houses and widows who
have received few thousand dollars OF
life insurance money, from their present
] obligation to support the courts, the
militia and other organs of government
that protect the rich mans property
and enable him to collect his bills re
ceivable Finally, if these two expendi
lures did not sufficiently diminish hi'
surplus, he could purchase newspapers
and pay editors to educate the public IL
sound principles of social justice, as ap
| piled to taxation and to various othel
matters.
In following out such a program thu
rich man could have the satisfac ion O.
knowing that he was doing the utmos
that is now possible toward following
Mr.. Carnegies advice without, on thu
one hand, precipitating socialism by too
rapidly converting a private into pub
lie ownership of business; or, on thu
other hand, precipitating communism
by dividing his fortune outright among
the poor. He would be helping thu
poor to help themselves by making i
easier for them to save and to accumu
late. At the same time he would hell
to broaden the domain of public owner
ship in a Slow safe and conservative
way by contributing year by year {
certain tidy sum toward the cost o.
common schools, well made roads, pro
perly paved streets, a copious ant
wholesome water supply, municipal
railways, and, by and by, the public
railway system of the nation.
