THE SHAMROCK.
Ireland's Wood SOrreI Said to BE st.
Patrick's Emblem.

PatrIck'S Em blem.
There are many people who do not
know what the real shamrock is. The
plant which Is often called shamrock
and generally passes for it in Ireland
is the Trifolium repens, or white clio
yer. This plant could not have been
the one which ST. Patrick held up to
illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity, as
1t has been known only 200 years in
Ireland and is a cultivated plant and
not native to the soil.
Edmund Spenser says Of the Irish of
1880 that whenever they found plot
Of shamrocks, or watercress, they had
q feast. There were some who COB
bled the green food as it came, some
looked for the faultless stalk and the
bloom on the leaf" This shamrock of
Sponsors time was without doubt the
OXaliS acetOSella, which is commonly
known as wood sorrel. 1t makes an eX-
cellent salad herb, though it has never
become a market herb in France or
this country. The sorrel of Paris and
New York markets is a species of dock.
The wood sorrel is indigenous to the
soil of ireland and is believed by
botanists to be the original "herb trini-
ty" with which ST. Patrick used to il
lustrate his doctrines.-New York Trib-

BrOWning,s MOdestY,

The only son Of Robert Browning and
his illustrious wife was a diligent art
student when he grew to manhood. He
was believed to have a promising ca
reer, but once when the father was
showing a friend some of his sons pic
lures he expressed fear that he might
suffer from the high hopes built upon
him.
"He is placed at a disadvantage,
said Browning. Then he explained
further, in phrase as modest as any
ever uttered by a great man:
'People expect much from him, you
see, because he had such a clever moth
err"

result Of a days outing. Another
Rochester trapper had 800 skins to
show for his seasons catch. The furs
are shipped to dealers in Boston and

The fashion of wearing lingerie waists
and linen and lawn collars and cuffs
during the winter season is steadily
growing in favor. so that at present
there is almost IS great demand for
these dainty articles as in spring and
summer. Sheer wash waists are worn
by many women almost exclusively
with coat and skirt suits, for owing to
the warmth of the average city house
heavier bediceS are uncomfortable in
doors and the wadded or fur lined or
trimmed coats of the present season
afford ample protection when out of
doors. These waists are made of the
finest linens and lawns and are elabor-
ateiy embellished with hand drawn
work, fine embroidery, insertions of
lace, tiny tucks, shocking, shirRing or
some other style of fine needlework,
and under them may be worn, If de-
sired, long sleeved underwaists of
white silk. The accompanying draw
ing shows a pretty model for such a
blouse. It is made of handkerchief
linen and is trimmed with tucks and
insertions of valenciennes lace. The
charm of such waists over those of
silk or other unwashable materials is
the dainty freshness that they impart
to the costume and it is this fact un-

Sharp was the shock received by one
of the most ambitious milliners in the
avenue few days ago. A modest
brougham drove to her door, an expen-
sively but quietly frecked woman
alighted, and on the threshold of the
shop modiste and visitor met. II saw
your advertisement for an apprentice"
said she of the carriage. The milliner
in question calls herself bachelor
girl and fondly imagines her wealthy
customers remember her peculiarities
as well as her persistently trumpeted
name. You wouldn't do at ALL she
snapped. The visitor smiled. Il made
the inquiry in behalf of one of my
maids" returned the woman of the
brougham. Circumstances compel her
to descend to a trade, and 1 supposed
she might as well face the worst at
once by starting here" Then the Wis
itor walked back to her carriage and
the dumb stricken milfiner recognized
on the footman the livery Of the How
ard Gouids.
