Is the Shamrock Modern?

The antiquity of the shamrock as an
Irish national emblem is assailed. The
learned and painstaking DR.. p. w.
joyce SAYS: ut is not easy to deter
mine the origin of the Irish custom or
wearing bunch OF shamrocks i" 'h =
hat on st. Patrick's day-the nth or
March. According to the popular be-
lief it commentaries an incident in
the life of st. Patrick-that on GER
tain occasion, when he was explain
ing the mystery of the Trinity to the
pagan Irish, he took up single sham
rock and pointed out the three leaves
growing from one stem to illustrate
the doctrine OF the three persons in
one God But this story must be an
invention of recent times, for we find
NO mention of it in any of the old
lives of the saint. Neither are we
able to say that the custom itself is
Of any higher antiquity; for though it
IL now observed by the Irish all over
the world, and though it is mentioned
by few writer's of the last 200 or 300
years-as, for instance, by Thomas
Dinely in 1875, who describes how the
Irish wore crosses and shamrocks on
st. Patrick's day-yet we find no allu-
sion to 1t in ancient Irish writings. -

.Wrote to Mr.. Hume.

A popular British Weekly has just
discovered the existence OF novelist
named j. Fenimore Cooper, and writes
of his Pathfinder" as the work OF
promising author. A London daily Is
better informed and ironically OBJ
serves that Mr. Cooper Is now well
over his hundredth year." and is en-
gagged on another book, which, as at
present arranged, will be entitled,
THE Last of the Mohicans." Ameri-
cans. however, need not be in haste
to jeer 1t is not very long since. a
school superintendent in thriving
town of the Middle West wrote to a
historian named Hume to ask him to
make some changes in his. history of
England which would fit it for class
room use. Later he expressed some
surprise that his politely worded re-
quest had elected no reply.-Spring-

The national debt of New Zealand is
not like any national debt in the world,
says Prof. Frank Parsons, who has
lately returned from a visit to New
Zealand Other nations have borrowed
money for war purposes, but New
Zealand borrowed money for the pur-
pose of giving employment to all her
citizens.
Out of every dollar Of the French
public debt, for instance, so cents was
for war and 20 cents was for public
works. There is nothing to show fol-
most of the money but q splash O.
military glory.
But the New Zealander is a good
business man. He makes his national
undertakings pay for themselves. His
debt is not waste of money, but an
investment. Although the United
States has comparatively the smallest
national debt in the world, and New
Zealand has the largest, yet the New
Zealander pays two cents year less
in interest than the American citizen.

The men of the neighborhood at once

Document That Caused His Arrest.


Document That Caused His Arrest.
A man was taken to constabulary
headquarters recently whose body was
an art gallery. His breast, back and
arms had been rendered completely
antinganting by tattooers, working un-
der the skilful guidance Of antingant-
ida in Manila when arrested.
He was not an unprepossessing
native, but he had too many incrimin-
ating documents worked into his cuticle
to be allowed to roam around in, a
>vild-etatc, he-ppas -orractod a
suspicious character. He gave his
name as Sylvester Gomez. His an
tingantings were above suspicion, as
well as above price, and had theysbeen
worked on a garment, as is customary,
he would have been despoiled of it for
a curio.
Over his heart he had worked con-
ventional figure of an altar, with a
cross superipposed. This he said was
an antinganting. On his right breast
was a human heart, inverted, sur
mounted by cross, with three letters
above it. When asked what particular
brand Of antinganting this was he on
ly grinned the wider. 1t is believed
that this fantastic design is the re-
hinder of some vow that he took
during the instruction. Three more
letters and a cross were tattooed in
the hollow of his back. He said that
these were never known to fail to keep
off diseases, and, indeed, it must be
confessed that he seemed to be an
extraordinary healthy animal
Then there were long disarrange-
ments of the alphabet across his breast
and all down his arms. They looked
as if somebody had attempted to write
a lot of seditious newspaper headlines
in Tagalog and had run short of copy
paper, and so had used Gomez for a
writing tablet. He explained that
these would keep Off bullets, and they
looked as if theY would.-NIanila Gable

New Sources Of Rubber.

A French bOtanist, in the course OF
his explorations a few weeks ago in
the sandy plains of the French Con-
go, discovered a plant the bark OF
which contained large quantity of
fibrous rubber, says the Scientific
American. At the time scarcely any
attention was paid to the discovery,
but owing to the scarcity of rubber
and its high commercial value, which
is III reaItty So prohibi...v PFC
vent very wide employment of the
substance, attempts are being made in
England to turn this new discovery
to commercial use. The plant also
thrives prOfusely in northern Nigeria,
ana 1t is these forests which are to
be exploited. A sample of the plant
has been analyZel by the botanical
authorities of Kew Gardens, London,
and these Investigations show that
the rubber exists in the roots in suffi-
GENTLY large quantities to warrant
development. The name of the plant
is Londolphia thralonli. 1t is to be
found in many places on the west
CCGSl Vi hlTlCu. oUe IlFm WHICH is al
ready engaged in the manufacture of
this rubber is placing it upon the mar

every respect equal to the ordinary
rubber.
India rubber has become such an
Indispensable material in the arts and
sciences that users will be glad TO
learn that a fresh source of supply
is said to have been found in the
white mangrove tree, which grows
plentifully in the swampy lands along
the coast of central Queensland. The
sap is obtained by making missions
in the bark of the tree and allowing it
to run into tins. Some samples of
the rubber thus obtained are said to
have brought 81 pound in England.
