Imposing relics of an age that his
tory has failed adequately TO portray.
the high crosses of Ireland constitute
at once the puzzle and the marvel of
the archaeologist. Century after cen
tury has contributed to the oblitera-
ton of the beautiful carvings on these
mystic memorials of the days when
Ireland was illustrious among the
European nations.
OF the high crosses of Ireland little
is known by the public in general,
writes the Rev. George S. Pine. For
myself, thought of them only as
relics of the age that had gone, and
expected to look upon them as on so
many mummies, or on the skeleton
of a great mastOdon. curious things

my race or my tastes.
Three crosses?" questioned to
myself. as ! thought of the Nonaster-
boice. and turned my wheel from the
main-traveled road to get there
three crosses? Well. five minutes
for each will give me plenty of time"
Three hours did not suffice to salts
fly my curiosity or allay the admira-
ton aroused Curiosity and admira-
tion have gone on unchecked ever
since, and imagination still plays
about them in dreams.
The high crosses of Ireland are the
product of period as different from
this as nOmadic life Of the time of
Abraham is different from the life to-
day.

HIS IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN.

Cardinal Newrrsn:s Estimate Is Well
Worthy the Attention OF All.
Cardinal NeWman's definition OF a
gentleman has probably never been
surpassed. Here it is:
1T is almost the definition OF gen
tleman to say he is one who never IN
fiicts pain He has his eyes on all
lis company; he is tender toward the
bashful, gentle toward the distant and
merciful toward the absurd; he can
recollect to whom he is speaking; ne
guards against unreasonable illusions
or topics which may irritate; ne IS
seldom prominent in conversation and
never wearisCme.
He makes light Of favors while ne
does them and seems to be receiving
when he is comforting. He never
speaks of him self except when COM
relied, never defends himself by
mere retort; he has no care for SLAM
der or gossip, is scrupulous in lmput-
ing motives to those who interfere
with him and interprets everything
for the best. He is never mean or lit
tie in his disputes, never takes unfair
advantage, never mistakes personall-
ties or sharp sayings for arguments
or insinuates evil which he dare not
say out

SUGAR a Universal Need.

Sugar has modified the history of
Eurone and CT the world in more ways
than one says writer. Used four
centuries ago. almost exclusively in
the preparation Of medicines, and long
,tte:ward an article OF luxury only ac-
ccssible to the rich, it has by enlarged
production and cheapened manufac-
turc been brought within the reach of
all. The universal use OF this prac-
tically pure carbohydrate, which is
not only a freely burning fuel and
prcteid srarer, but muscle food, in
creasing the power OF. doing work
and lesscning fatigue, must have had
widespread and beneficial effects on
tho general health. Especially in the
case Of children, whose greed OF sugar
is the expression Of physiological
want. has that food been valuable in
conducting to growth, contentment and
WCll-beino.'

Right and Wrong Way iii This as
There Is in Everything.
Many people, when they first come
into possession Of a new book, are apt
to spoil the back by not knowing how
to open the book properly. Here are
o few hints as to the best way OF
opening a volume. 1t should be held
with it's back on a table, the front
board cover should, be let down. the
leaves being held in one hand. Next
the other board cover should be let
down. Following this operation, few
leaves should be opened at the back,
then a few at the front, and soon,
alternately opening back and 'front.'
gently pressing open the sections till
the center Of the volume is reached.
The best results will be obtained II
this is done two or three times IL
the book is violently or carelessly
opened in any one place, the back will
very likely be broken.-Pearson

The WIT of Woman.

Women are the inheritors of the old
est most universal human wisdom.
They have more sense than men, for
the simple reason that man has to
be a specialist, and a specialist has
to be a fanatic. The normal man all
over the world is "a hunter or fisher
or a banker or man of letters or
some silly thing. If SO, he has to be
a wise hunter or a wise banker. But
nobody with the smallest knowledge
of professional life would ever expect
him to be wise man. But his wife
has to be a wise woman. She has to
have an eye on everything.-G. X.
Chesterton in the London Daily News.
