A SHRINE IN IRELAND.

Pilgrims to It Always Leave in Inn
proved Health and spirits.
The following is an extract from an
article in the Woman's Home Com
panion- Seumas MacManus describes
an Irish shrine, st. Patrick's Purga-
tory, a place to which thousands make
pilgrimage every year. He says:
ut is q remarkable thing that not
withstanding the fact that many deli
cate, weak and unwell people, men
and women, boys and girls, who come
upon this pilgrimage, go through 1t
bareheaded and barefOoted, under sun
and rain (for it is one of the rainiest
spots in Ireland), sometimes getting
thoroughly drenched, there Is no case
yet on record of any person, howso-
ever weak or i'll they may have been
coming, having suffered any i'll effects
from the performance of the pilgrim
age. 1t Is a faith with the pilgrims
that no cold can be caught and no sick
ness incurred in st. Patrick's Purga-
tory, and their faith certainly seems
borne out by the facts. People who
have hobbled on to the island, worn
down with the weight of physical ills,
have been known to leave it strong
and we'll, and in almost every case the
pilgrims go away, If possible, far
healthier and heartier than when they
entered. The pure mountain air, the
fasting, the water-drinking, the exer-
cises, the exposure of the extremities,
as we'll as the social intercourse, re-
newing friendships, the beauty Of the
place, the happiness Of mind and the
peace of soul there found, certainly
form a grand council of doctors I'M
equaled, perhaps, in any hospital of
the world. To all this can testify
by personal experience, as l myself
have performed the pilgrimage several
times, and hope, with Gods help, to
perform it many more times in years
to come. 1t Is a beautiful means of
breaking with the artificial world for
a short period, getting back to things
elemental, getting in touch with the
spiritual, refreshing the mind and re-
freshing the soul, and renewing the
youth that is SO wont to get quickly
lost in the broil of turbulent worlds
battle"

How Celluloid Is Made.

Celluloid, the chemical compound
which bears so close a resemblance to
ivory, is q mixture Of collodion and
camphor, invented in 1855 by Perke-
sine, of Birmingham, whose name for
time 1t bore. The process Of manu-
facture Is as follows: Cigarette paper
10 soaked in a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acids until it becomes nitro
cellulose. After thorough washing, to
free 1t from the acids, this cellulOse is
dried, mixed with certain quantity
of camphor, and coloring matter If re-
Quired, and then passed through roll
er mill. 1t Is next formed into thin
sheets by hydraulic pressure and after
ward broken up by toothed rollers and
soaked for some hours in alcohol. A
further pressure and hot rolling proc
ess finish 1t, and results in tvory-like
sheets half an inch thick.

has compared the measurements for

by the experience of the ready-made

eastern point of Sand island. He had
discovered the dark outline Of the boats
Of his friends lying in the shadow Of
the island shore. To the south he saw
another line Of dark shadows which he
knew was the Aotilla Of reinforce
ments. He could not account for this
except an unforeseen delay which often
attends the organization OF forces.
One thing he did know, and that
was that he would never take the
soldiers where they could interfere
with his friends so long as he could
avoid it. +s '-.,. -
Suddenly a fishing boat was discov-
cred in front Of the vessel. The oc-
cupant of the little craft was waving
an oar frantically overhead to attract
the pilot. He aignalled the engi-
neer to reverse the lever and the wheel
began to pull back against the current
which was taking the boat rapidly to-
ward the ocean.
The officers down sairs rushed upon
deck to ascertain the cause OF the boat
coming to halt. They soon discov-
cred the figure in the fishing boat and
went to the point where the small craft
was about to collide with the larger
boat.
With an ease brought about by years
Of experience on the water the figure in
the small boat guided the little craft
alonside the larger vessel and the two
came together without scarcely jar.
A rope ladder was thrown over the
side of the large vessel and the form
left the fishing boat and glided up the
frail stairway like q shadow.

Captain Budlong as she stepped on the
deck.
