Beauties of Ireland.

Dublin can and does boast of many
superlatives. 1t has the widest street
and the largest public park in Europe,
the first horse show in the world and
the largest brewery, but certainly the
chiefest of all its claims is that ad-
yanced in behalf of its women. 1t is
really no exaggeration to say that in
no city in the world will one see so
many beautiful women as one does in
the Irish capital.
There is something. too, about the
Irish type of beauty that cannot be ae-
tually described. There is an express

ness almost. in every real Irish face

Precocious Mozart.

At three years of age Mozart would
amuse himself for hours together in
picking out thirds on the piano with
his wonderful ear; at four years he
learned minuets and before six played
some of his own compositions, actually
starting on n concert tour with his sis
ter at that age
Before three years had elapsed he
had taken by storm four of the most
important capitals in Europe-Vienna.
The Hague. Paris and London. His
reputation as composer was estab-
lished by the time that he was only ten
years old. Mozart fulfilled In maturity
the promise of his early years. but at
the age of thirty-five passed away. en-
gagged on requiem which he gradu-
ally learned was to he for himself.

The Sakais. or tree dwellers. of the
Malay peninsula build their houses in
forked trees dozen feet above ground
and reach them by means of bamboo
ladders, which they draw up when
safely housed out of harms way. The
house itself is a rude kind of shack,
made of bamboo, and the flooring is
lashed together piece by piece and
bound securely to the tree limbs by
rattan.

The ufeIasIarul.

The venomous lizard, heloderm, lives
in the warm zone between the Cordille-
ras of Central America and the Pacific
ocean. 1t secretes n poisonous saliva
and has the curious habit of throwing
itself ON its back when struck. Its bite
is not always so dangerous as popular
opinion makes 1t, and after severe pain
it often rapidly heals. Recent observa-
tions show that the saliva is sometimes
very poisonous and sometimes very in
offensive. The poison acts by coagulat-

which. luckily. was checked before 1t did any
great amount of damage attracted attention TO
one OF the few surviving landmarks in the
downtown business section These buildings,
which occupy the triangular plot bounded by
Fulton, Pearl and Willoughby SITS, are three
story frame structures, old fashioned and I'M
pretentious in design. They occupy one Of the
most prominent and valuable sites in Brooklyn.
The stores on the ground floor have been
modelled that the appearance OF antiquity has
been somewhat lost. and. the elevated struct-
ure hides the upper part of the building from
the street the ancient block does not attract
the attention that would be drawn 10 II IL It
were standing on a more open site
There is nothing about the buildings to indi-
cate the exact time of their erection, but the
general impression IS that It about 1910.
At that time most of the land in the vicinity
was given up to farming. The buildings them
selves were built on the edge of a farm, Lord
Willoughby's estate, which extended for a con-
siderable distance east Of Fulton-st Riding
