St. Patrick's Wonderful Work.

st. Patrick was not the first priest
to visit Ireland. Pope Celestine sent
Palladius there before Patrick, and
so the Irish adage says: Not to Pal
ladills, but to Patrick, did God grant
the conversion of Ireland" The story
of the life of st. Patrick in Ireland is
as full of the fanciful as that of his
early life elsewhere AS he progress
ed through the land dogs sent against
him turned to stone in the act of hurl-
ing themselves upon him; armed men
found themselves paralyzed as they
poised their weapons to take his life ,
green wood was made to burn ma
gicians, while dry wood would not
ignite to scorch the saint. Divested of
these imaginary episodes the story is
sufficiently wonderful. Churches were
founded, converts hocked to the
priests standards, idolatry and ignor-
ance disappeared before the march of
the saint and if the snakes were not
actually cast out of Ireland, snakes
that had harmed the land for long
time were scotched. The wild princes
and their families became Christians
The common people followed their ex
ample, and at the close of st. Patrick S
life, said to have been in the year ass
the magicians and the high priests OF
the idolators had found their occupa
ton about gone.

Antiquity of Irish Emblem.

The antiquity of the shamrock as
an Irish national emblem is assailed
The learned and painstalling DR.. p.
w. Joyce says: 1T is not easy to de-
termine the origin of the Irish custom
of wearing bunch OF shamrocks in
the hat on st, Patrick's day-the 18th
of March. According to the popular
belief it commentaries An incident il,
the life of ST. Patricll-that on a GER
tain occasion. when he was explain
ing the mystery Of the Trinity to the
pagan Irish, he took up a 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 is now
observed by the Irish all over the
world, and though it is mentioned by
few writers of the last 200 or 300
years-as, for instance, by Thomas
Dinely in 1875, who describes how the
Irish wore crosses and shamrocks or
ST Patrick's day-yet we find no al
fusion to it in ancient Irish writings.

A New Theory of Sleep.

An interesting and novel theory OF
sleep has recently been put forward by
DR.. Clararede, French scientist, who
holds that sleep is a positive function
or an instinct designed to arrest func-
tioning. DR.. Clararede makes the as
sertion that we sleep not because we
are intoxicated or exhausted, but in
order to avoid such conditions. Not
only are there various kinds and de-
grees of sleep, but it does not always
follow exhaustion. Furthermore, it is
we'll known that sleep is not proper
tional to the degree of exhaustion
and it may be either total or partial.
In measuring the profoundneSs OF
sleep various conditions are encoun-
tered which are not susceptible OF ex-
PLANTATION on the toxic theory, but
which agree perfectly with the n.y.
pothesis that it is a positive nervous
function. The definition of sleep, &C.
cording to this new theory, is reac.
ton produced by various excitants
and is an inhibition which manifests
itself subjectively by lack of interes,
in exterior things. Weekly.

ment-How She Was Cured.

Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Any
little excitement, or over-eNertlon, or IT.
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or a band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all i'll
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nonrished
and the digestion weak, one of the COM
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of a remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
For more than seven years ! was n
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became so restless that could not
sit still any length of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. AT first
the attacks We're not SO severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became SO acute that I was on the point
| of relinquishing my membership i'll the
different organizations to which I be-
longed.'
