Hugh Sutherland, who was sent by
investigate the conditions of Ireland,
writes as follows:
Dublin, Jan. 18-On my first trip to
the west a few weeks ago I was rather
ostonished to find that the, train con-
sisted Of more than a. dozen carriages
and that the third-class compartments
were crowded with sturdy looking men.
having heard of the poverty of the dis
tricts into which I was going, 1 was
not prepared to see such heavy passen-
ger traffic Surely these men had not
been away for a holiday?
At a junction station was able to
talk to some Of them on the platform
while we waited for a connecting train.
A broad-shouldered, bearded man, with
q bundle hanging on his shoulder, cheer
fully enlightened me.
"Sure, we've all been over in England
worl<in'," he said. "Some have been
gone three months, some six. I've been
away since April myself, and there's
twenty good pounds in me pocket this
blessed minyit fer to pay the rent and
buy a bit of bacon an that for the
winter"
But what do you go to England for?
Why not stay on your own farm and
work that?'
"Ay, why not? Sure you're a nice
spoken gintleman, but beggin' your par
don, it's little you know of our coun-
try, can see that. Why don't we stay
here? God save you, sir, an. do you
think we go to England because we like
it? Is it likely we'd leave our own
farms if so be we'd get food an clothes
an rent by stayin'? Bad luck to it, we
go because we have to. My boys away

The Value Of Good English.
I From Success \

To write the English language well
and to speak it with reasonable fuen-
cy in conversation and in public ad-
dresses, without manuscript would be
another of my fixed purposes were
going to college again.
The bad quality of the written work
done by fresh college graduates is no.
torious. Not to mention commence
ment orations and theses, usually
the most arid and awkward compost
tions imaginable, young doctors of
philosophy, brilliant specialists in
their lines, too frequently compose al.
together i'll. ,Wry grammar and a
shocking choice of words are not their
worst faults. The higher traits of
rhetoric suffer most at their hands.
The report, article, essay, treatise or
whatever the writing is, lacks unity,
continuity and progress. The dis
cussion begins with points which
ought to come later. Arguments, if
any, are not arrayed, but jumbled.
The author says what he does not
mean, often contradicting himself,
and not seldom ends without giving
the reader any clear idea whatever
of the view which he really desires to
set forth. These are the results of
general mental confusion. The de-
partment of rhetoric is never wholly
and hardly ever mainly responsible
tor. them. The trouble is that the
writer's entire mental training was
defective.
One of the very best aids to mental
clearness, as to general mental ma
turity and mastery, is habit of
public speech particularly in debate.
The effort to think on ones feet and
to express ones thoughts in an order
ly manner, if it is only entered upon
with care and studious preparation
for each occasion, is among the most
efficient forms of mental discipline
ever tried. l should, while meaning
to be thorough in all things, pay less
attention to the finesse of thorough
ness in branches where | wished gen
eral information, laying greater stress
upon the branches that interested me;
practising, in word, specialization
within and among the studies | elect
ed. should endeavor to become a
facife employer of my own mind,
thinking out things for myself, and
not allowing myself to be dogmatized
to by any professor or by any one
else. A cardinal fault of students in
college is their readiness to take up
without question what is told them
in books and by teachers.

The Mother Of Washington

"It was due to Mrs. Westinghouse
earnest remonstrance that George at
one time during his boyhood was re-
strained from entering the English
naval SERVICE" says Waldom Faw-
cett. "He had obtained a midship-
mans warrant and was eager to go,
but he lis tened to his mothers en-
treaties, and so was saved for the
great career that made his name i'm
mortal. For years after the death of
her husband Mrs. Washington con-
tinued to conduct the large planta-
ton on the Rappahannock River OPP.
posite Fredericksburg, but later pur-
chased the little house In Fredericks-
burg, as the shelter of her declining
years, after repeatedly expressing her
nnwiilingness to adopt thesuggestion
of her daughter that she make her
home in Kenmore.

ly fond of flowers, and she trans
planted to the garden of her new home
many plants which had become her

while working among these flowers
that the Marquis Lafayette found her
when he went to, fredericksburg TO
say farewell before he sailed for
France. She welcomed him with the
CHEEKY greeting, 'Ah, Marquis, you
see an old woman, but come, | can
make you welcome without the pa
rade of changing my dress !! This
was all the apology she offered for
the lLOmespun gown and sunbonnet
in which she was attired.
MARY Washington was a home
person of the best and most admir-
able kind. Only once, tits recorded,
did she appear in public with her
famous son after the Revolution.
That was on the occasion of the
grand ball given in honor of the re-
turn of General Washington after
the surrender of CORVALLIS. and even
then it was only after much persua-
sion that she WAS Induced to accom-.

TEACHERIN THE BACKWOODs.- AT
a small school in the backwoods a
well meaning but misguided instruc-
tor gave her pupils the task of sub
tracing 629 from 88O,788,SS9 until
nothing remained as a home lesson.
On the way from school the children
reloiced at so easy a requisition, but
once at work their rejoicing was
speedily turned to sorrow. After
working for hours without any per-
ceptible dimunitiop of the figures the
youngsters gave up in despair. Par
ents then tried, but with no better
success. And small wonder. In or
der to complete the task the number
given would have to be subtracted 1, :
100000 times, leaving a small re-
mainder. Some indignant parent
calculated, that working at the rate
of three subtractions a minute for
twelvs hours a day, the task given
the children for an evenings exer-
else would require little more than
year and nine months to accom-
plish.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with it's
good qualities can besurprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and per.
manently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleas
ant to take. When all of these facts
are taken into consideration it is not
surprising that people in foreign
lands, as we'll as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it.

The 9th of October will be a re-
markable day in Geneva, the home of
John Calvin. 1t will be the 350th
anniversary of the burning at the
stake of Michael Servetus under di-
rection and with the approval of
CALVIN for expressing his disbelief in
the Trinity. Now nearly all the
protestant clergy of Geneva with the
professors of the colleges have joined
together to erect monument to the
memory of Servetus; not that they
believe as he did, but a sa sort of an
atonement for the sin which they say
was committed contrary to their be-
lief and the true spirit OF the Reform
alton. The monument is to be un-
yelled on that 350th anniversary.
