When a college girl suffers from
robbery she does not regard the mat

if the theft be of money. When the

When the culprit is proved to be a

but it teaches her no lesson.
Maybe for. a month she will not
leave her room without locking up

is really no need to be so careful.

MINING GOLD IN IRELAND

Gold is being mined in Ireland, Incl
dental to the development of a mine of
lead sulphide, commonly known as
galena. The mine. is in the Glentogher
valley, few miles from the market
town of Carndonagh, County Donegal,
says the New York Tribune. There
is no indication, however, that the
mining of this gold will interfere in
the slightest degree with the emigra-
ton from Ireland, which has been so
general for the last few years or that
1t will relieve the labor situation Of
the Emerald isle.
The locality OF the mine is near the
northern extremity OF Ireland, on the
peninsula of Innishowen. The galena
deposit was worked in 1890 for silver
and lead, but for some reason the en-
terprise was abandoned. Another at
tempt was made to work the mine in
1850 but this also was unsuccessful
