GROWTH OF HUMoR IN IRELAND.

So far from declining. humor has grown and
increased In Ireland. Indeed, IL we go back
further still to the early literature to which SO
much attention is directed just now, / think we
shall find that there was no humor at all in
Ireland In the days OF which It treats. So far
at least. as have made acquaintance with IT,

and II | am mistaken l hope somebody who
knows better will correct me. At all events
the most curiously un-Irish element To me in
this Gaelic revival is the lack of humor In the
whole movement; though perhaps the porten-
tous solemnity with which its pioneers treat
their own merits and discuss their own talents
the utter and absolute seriousness with which
they take themselves and each other reveals a
depth of unconscious humor which does some
credit to their nationality. Anyhow. if we are
