THE IRISH LANGUAGE.
Its Eject on nm Audience Described
by q south American.


Mr.. william Bulfin, editor of the
Southern Cross, Bucnos Ayres, recent
ly visited Ireland and attended feis
ceoil given in the city Of Galway. This
is what he says of Irish oratory in the
native tongue.
II can only Judge Of II, unfortunate.
ly, from two standpoints-the sound OF
1t and the effect it has upon an audi
ence. beard several Irish addresses
at the feis. All were In the same
style. The accent Of all the speakers
was more or less the same. learned,
too, that each speaker dealt in plain.
concise, practical ideas and expressed
them In terse and vigorous modern
Irish. So far so good. Here, then, is
plain statement of how all this sound
ed to plain man.
"At first the sound of Irish oratory
Is little harsh to the unframed and
unaccustomed ear, but this Is only for
a moment. There Is deep note of pas
sionate earnestness in the rugged maj
esty of the words, and there is a
sledgehammer power In the sonorous
are sounds as sibilant as the Italian.
as mouth filling as the Spanish. as ma
sal as the French, as cultural as the
German and as deep az. the English.
But the language resembles none of
these. 1t appears to belong to another
sphere altogether. 1t seems to have
been coined 1aborlously by men who
had grand and great and glowing things
to say to each other. 1t bursts impet-
uously in huge masses of sound through
the sense of hearing and knocks thun-
dcrously at the heart and soul OF q
man. And meantime 1t is not unmu-
steal. 1t is not by any means fiat or
sharp. But there Is no futiDg about It
There Is no whine in 1t. Its diapason
is essentially masculine. 1t Is the big
organ among the languages, with many
registers, able to run up and down the
gamut of human feeling and touch ev-
cry responsible fiber Of being and sound
the depths OF joy and sorrow and
rouse to lofty passion and to the no
blest endeavor. This I say from atten-
lively listening to the sound Of the lam
guage and observing its effects upon
the audiences who understood It.
"In singing the Irish language is SIN
gularly sweet. 1t is not the Italian
sweetness nor the German sweetness,
for the German in song is one of the
most musical languages The sweet
ness in Irish song is unique, and you
cannot describe it. 1t has a wondrous
appeal in It, At the feis the test song
in one of the competitions was Gulf
hionn (Coulin). When Caitilin Nj
Bhraonaln Miss Kathleen Brennan
sang it in the traditional style. it pulled
you all to pieces.
I'm the grand concert at the town
hall the choir from the Claddagh school
sang the Shan Van Vocht.' l never
heard tho silverv voices Of children
blended so melodiously. Their singing
was something extraordinary. How
such music could be evolved out of hui
man speech was a mystery and at the
same time a revelation: but, then. SO
was the fes itself. 1t was grand. Only
for 1t my visit to Galway would have
given me more bitterness Of soul than
l could have shaken OFF in a month.
AS it was, left Galway with hope
for Galway and for Ireland"

THE COLLEGE GIRL.

College life sometimes develops a pecu-
liar form of self-importance which can
not be regarded as agreeable or useful
either in Its masculine or In its feminine
form 1t may be called the academic
vanity; and it comes from mistaking the
little world Of college for the big world
to which 1t is only one of the Vestibules.
fou VIII see, every now and then, young
person who has made this mistake; a COL
legian whose college spirit is form of
selt-complacency, and who exercises
bland contempt or a painful condescension
towards all outsiders, a prize winner or
a class idol whose successes have result
ed in visible enlargement of the cranial
circumference. Girls as well as men are
subject to the attacks Of this bacillus of
the big head. The megacepnalous microbe
Is less frequent among girls than among
men. and its effects are likely to be OF
shorter duration. They seldom last more
than two or three years after gradua-
ton. AS rule, ! think you Will find
that girls who have had the benefit OF
the collective life are characterized bv a

home and the echoing solitudes of what is
called society. DR. Henry Van Dyke. in

ENGLISH PRECEDENT FOR CANADA

The refusal Of the Canadian members of
the Alaskan boundary commission to
sign the award will not in any way effect
the validity or execution of the latter.
1t may be remembered that the much
more important Alabama award OF 1872
WAS not signed by the British member
OF the Geneva arbitration tribunal, Sir
Alexander Cockburn. then lord chief
justice of England. and yet that award
was put into execution, with the result
n peaceful settlement of "A controversy
that had threatened to develop into a
chronic difficulty between this country
and Great Britain.
Sir Alexander Cockburn drew up an
elaborate State paper which was pub
lished III the London Gazette, setting forth
his reasons for refusing to sign the
award, and incidentally praising the con-
federate states, but nevertheless express
ing the earnest hope that the Geneva
decision would be accepted by the British
people with the submission and respect
due to the decision of Il tribunal by
whose award 1t has freely consented to
abide"
Robert Lowe, who was then chancellor
OF the eXchequer lost scarcely day in
pointing out in the House of Commons
that Sir Alexander's course was hardly
calculated to secure the acceptance Of
his advice, and he added when a thing
Is decided and when we are bound to act
upon 1t, and when We are not really Justi-
fed by any feeling, ! think. of honor or
good faith In making any reclamation or
quarrel with what has been done In such
circumstances think II is great pity
TO stir up and renew the strong arguments
and contests which the arbitrators have
decided" The Canadian commissioners
of the Alaskan boundary tribunal should
take this recommendation OF Robert Lowe
to heart. -Msrquise de Fontenery in the
New York Tribune.

Dearth of German Army Omcers.


The German army is at present SUI.
rcring from doarth OF officers. This
IS due In the first place to the cost Of
living. Young officers need more cloth
ing and more extensive equipment than
was formerly the case. In addition.
the habit has become general of par.
ucipa ting In expensive banquets, which.
with the high priced wines consumed.
are most denorolzing.
Another reason for the scarcity is to
be found in the decline OF aprlcultnrc
through which the sons of landowners
who formerly became officers have to
seek more remuneratiye profession.
The present pension system. too. has
the effect of placing officers at n disad-
vantage. After serving twenty years
and having become colonies they arc
retired, because in tho higher positions
fewer officers are needed. The mini
mum sum of the pensions as at present
arranged is so low that an officer Of
the rank Of colonel. after being retired
often finds himself unable to give hy
children an education such as is re-
qulred in Germany.
