ST. PATRICK AT ARMAGH.
Legend of the First Church Site Re-
lated in the Ancient
Volume.

A pretty legend is told in the Book
of Armagh $500 A. d. regarding the
site of the church first built there by
ST. Patrick-the site of the present
Protestant cathedral of st. Patrick,
writes Nora lyman O'Mahony in DON
ahoe's.
Get the northward." said Cod s
angel to the saint, Ito the height of
Macha (Ard-Macha-Armagh): there
shalt thou build to God the fortress
temple and great house of Christ" st.
Patrick seemingly found the rulers of
that time as grudging of site as
those of late days; but at length the
saints force of character and the re-
nown worked by his miracles succeed
ed in obtaining from King Daire,
great-grandson of Male of the Nine
Hostages, the necessary plot of land.
"Give him." said the grim old pagan
king "the ridge of willows, that he
may build a church unto his God"
On the solemn foundation-day, as
st. Patrick made a circuit of the
ground, with bell, book and aspersory,
lIl0I hluS Oul luC SdSlSu plSSlAClS, q
frightened doe, with a fawn by her
side, fed from out the willows, and
after running few PAGES stood bewil-
dered at the great throng of people.
ST. Patrick took this as a good oppor-
tunity of intoxicating to his flock the
virtue of kindness.
Here" he said, pointing to the
spot where the deer had lain. shall
Gods altar stand" and taking up the
fawn in his arms he carried it across
the valley to an eminence on the
northern side, and laid it gently down
beside it's dam. To-day, the spot where
the deer had lain, and where st. Pat
rick built his first church, is the site of
the Protestant cathedral, while on the
northern eminence" stands the new
Unfinished and beautiful Catholic ca
thedral dedicated to Ireland's patron
saint.

HORN BLOWING LATEST FAD
British "Beauty" Doctors Prescribe II
for Development of Wom-
ans Chest.

The latest British fad in beauty cul-
ture is the blowing of the French horn.
A London medical man seen by a
representative could not deny that the
French horn might have an i'm
proving effect on the feminine form.
The blowing of musical instruments,
he said, was a wonderful developer to
the chest 1t was not that the chest
itself was really enlarged; it only had
capacity of imitation. What
really happened was that the muscles
around the chest were developed and
the bust was thus improved
The doctors instanced one after an
other notable singers whose figures
were exceptionally fine through con.
tinual imitation of the lungs.
He gave one word OF warning to
stout ladies; this was that they must
commence horn blowing very grad
ually, or syncope might result. He
also said that it would be better II
ladies could not be seen while prac-
ticing, for the effect Of playing on ths
facial expression Is not good.

Looking up one morning I noticed
that the picture hung crooked.
Strengthened it and resumed my work
'.The next day the picture was again

Finally, happening to be in the room
while the maid was cleaning, saw her

JAPANESE WAR TOWELINC.
Bears Artistic Sketches and Carica-
lures or Cartoons of Bat
tie Scenes.

AS might have been expected, military
and naval subjects occupy large place
among the years designs for toweling.
The towel designs celebrating naval vic
tories have been particularly successful;
they are mostly in white, on blue
ground; or in black; on a white ground.
Besides towels decorated with artistic
sketches of this sort, says Lafcadio
Hearn, in Atlantic, there have been
placed upon the market many kinds Of
towels bearing comic war pictureS,-
caricatures or cartoons which are anus
ing without being malignant 1t will be
remembered that at the time of the first
attack made upon the Port Arthur
squadron, several of the Russian Off
GERS were in the Dalny theater,-never
dreaming that the Japanese would dare
to strike the first blow This incident
has been made the subject of towel
design At one end of the towel is a
comic study of the faces of the Rus
