Look Out for Your Pate.

So pate" is slang for head, Ell?
Wherefore? Surely the word is used
in a trivial or derogatory sense, as
noodle, noggin, Uranium, brain-pan,
etc., but it's origin is eminently re-
spectacle. Shakespeare says ''the
learned pate ducks to the golden
fool" Pope's epigram is good

We have "bald pate" and "shave
pate" Why, the word is used once
in the Bible, and by David, in Psalm
vii, 16: Ills mischief shall return
upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down, upon his
own pate" Accurately, pate does not
mean the head, but the crown of the
head.

The Emerald Isle.

Many aspects of the present-day life of Ireland are as characteristic and picturesque as any survivals of earlier ages. The tiny, thatched cot tages, white-washed, or frequently tinted pink, blue, or yellow, vine-cov- cred, in the midst of their gardens, are constant delight to the visitor. The most characteristic Gaelic villages are probably to be found in the west, although many districts in Munster and Donegal have also preserved the national language, with distinctive customs and dress. In many parts of Connaught the old, hooded, Irish cloak is still worn by the women, and their scarlet skirts. homespun and home dyed, make brilliant dashes of color among the gray rocks and brown bogs of this weird western country.
 An interesting survival of Gaelic days is the Claddagh, suburb of the ancient city of Galway, It's matched cabins are inhabited by fishermen and their families, among whom may be found many Spanish and Moorish types, descendants of sailors of the armada, wrecked here in the time of Elizabeth. Gaelic is the language of the Claddagh, and, until recently, the village periodically elected its owl "king."-Four-Track News.

Strength of Mussels.

You must, sometime, try to open tho shell of fresh water mussel or sea clam. You will find one the size of your hand has great strength, although both his muscles may not be larger than those of one of your fingers. I have often seen boy pick up mussel and insert his fingers before the shell was quite closed, thinking he would open it again. Few boys can succeed. They usually have hard pulling to get their fingers free. A big mussel can bite hard. Were it not that the edge of the shell, in big specimens, is smooth and thick, a boy might get his fingers cut to the bone.-St. Nicholas.

Don't wind your watch at bed time, as 990 men in 1000 have habit of doing; wind it when you rise in the morning and start out fresh with it.
