IRISH HoPEFULNEss.
Sure, Things Are Never so Bad but
They Might Be Worse.

The Irishman sees everything
through rose colored glasses, says a
writer in the Guidon. He is support
ed, too, by a simple, sturdy faith.
spirit of resignation and unworldli-
ness worthy of the saints of old.
The dread blight had fallen on the
fields in most of the district where we
were visiting in Ireland, and the pO-
tato vines hung limp and brown. No
word of complaint was spoken, and
when the likelihood of famine was
mentioned the answer came:
Danger, ma'am? Yes, there is, in
deed, but God is good. He'll find a
way"
What a glorious night, Mikey!"
said to the boy, as he and I and the
donkey drove home under the August
moon.
"a fine night, indeed, Iha'am.
Thanks be to God for giving it to us!"
They showed US, on the road to
town, a gentleman's place where, in a
stretch of what not long since had
evidently been thickly wooded land,
stood stump after stump of giant
trees. Four or five years ago, when
the winter was exceptionally long and
cold, the peasants suffered from scar
city of peat. They begged this land
ed proprietor to sell them wood, Of
fering not only to pay his price, but to
fell the trees and carry them off. He
refused.
Again and again they begged, for
the suffering grew intense, but he
would not let his land be marred. One
night there came wind SO frightful
that it seemed for a time as if the
big wind" were blowing again. In
the morning the highway along this
proprietor's domain was impossible.
Huge trees, blown to the ground, lay
across the road for distance of two
miles, and the forest beauty was a
thing of the past. The town authori-
ties ordered the obstruction cleared
away, and the peasants got for moth
ing more than they had been refused
for pay.
'"Twas the hand of God was in
that, ma'am," was told, "for, with all
the wind, not poor mans cot was
harmed, nor another tree on the coun-
tryside, only those. God always looks
after His DOOR"

THE DINING ROOM.
Il is Generally the Neglected Apart
ment of the House.


The dining room generally is the ne
elected room so far as furnishings are,
considered. AS a place to go into at
meal times it is provided with table
and chairs, a sideboard and china
closet. The windows are curtained,
the floor is laid with a rug or carpet,
the wall is papered, and pictures are
hung, then the room is thought TO be
finished What are the possibilities
for making this part of the house
interesting? If we begin when the
plans of the different rooms are drawn
up by the architect we should put in
a plea for placing the dining room in
a position where it will get the best
morning light, the full sunshine OF
day hours, and the lingering CLEANS
of sunset This means an exposure of
east, south and west; but if this happy
combination is impossible to reach,
then one of the three may be the sub
stitute. If only a north light, how
ever, is available for the dining room
especial care must be given to the
coloring to make up for its cold out
look
One point that should be thought
OF in making a new dining room is its
shape. Long, straight lines or those
exactly square are almost sure to
create an uninteresting interior unless
helped out by built in furniture or
artistic woodwork. Color effect makes
the quickest appeal to our interest in
any room, and particularly in the
dining room. When furniture is to
be bought for the dining room the
plain oak-called massive-styles in
the various light or dark stains Will
be found to give more character than
the ordinary golden or antique oak.
and tables without carved work, rush
seated chairs, and china closets with
latticed panes will make a more
artistic room than the ornate patt 7rns
and SNOWY effects that cost the sLme
amount of money.
The lighting of the dining roor, can
be made pleasing feature, or, on the
contrary, most distressing one. The
rival of famous beauty, so the story
goes, in her endeavor to show the
latter at a disadvantage, invited her
to magnificent dinner party, and
then placed her near some bright
green candle shades. To sit facing a
glare of sunlight will spoil the most
enjoyable meal, and a table poorly
lighted will bring equal discomfort.
Just the right amount of light can be
arranged after a little experimenting
with curtains, gas, or electric shades,
and all windows should have practical
means for shifting the curtains dur
ing the day, according to the need for
more Or less light

Science VS.. charIatanism.

Nothing in years has made the
chemists rage together so furiously as
the exploited discovery of a COM
pound which will make ashes burn
better than coal. OF one formula
we are aware that this was not the
one tried in a hotel boiler room the
other day-Prof. Gill, of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, says:
1T contains nothing, nor can it make
anything, that in any way will aid
combustion" Even if the inventors
preposterous theory of it's working be
accepted, the professor says that the
heating capacity of a gallon of the
mixture would be about equal to that
of a piece of coal the size of a pea.
why" the scientific men all ask,
docs this piece of charlatanism get
itself spread broadcast over the coun-
try when discoveries of real scientific
importance go unheralded?" We do
not know of any reason which would
not apply equally to medical nostrums.
They create sensations because of the
prodigious value they would have if
they were only real. The inventors of
ash-burning formulae, remarks the
New York Post, might well ask their
academic critics to point to any
achievement of science within, say, 25
years that would benefit directly and
indirectly so many people as method
for burning ashes.

1t used to be said that a diplomatist
was a man who was sent abroad to lie
for his country. To-day it would be
much nearer the truth to say that
diplomatist is a man who is sent
abroad to tell the truth for his coun-
try. A most interesting account has
recently been given of the petition for
better treatment of the Jews, and the
protest against the Kishinef massa-
cres. In order to crafty the signers
of the petition, the state department
forwarded it to Ambassador McCor-
mick at st. Petersburg. although well
aware that the Russian government
could take no official cogniZance of it,
When the paper was laid on the table
before Count Lamsdorf he said, You
know i cannot receive this" Then,
according to the story which is re-
ported by Golfers, Mr.. Mccormick re-
piled, Let us talk for few minutes
as man to man. You are Count Lams-
dorf, and am not an ambassador, but
merely Mr.. Mccormick. The time has
come when you can no longer disre-
gard public opinion. The whole world
is aroused. Do me the great favor,
personally, of keeping this for two or
three days. Then if you are still of
the same mind, send it back to me,
and no more will be said" In the end
Count Lamsdorf showed the petition
to the czar, who was sufficiently i'm
pressed by it to ameliorate somewhat
the condition of the Jews.

AERIAL EXPERIMENTING CLUB

Announcement was made at Halifax,
n. S., Tuesday of the organization of
the aerial experimenting association,
with a membership including Prof.
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor;
Capt. F. w. Baldwin of Toronto, aero
maui; G. H. Curtis of Hammondsport,
n. Y, expert in motor construction; J.
A. d. Macurdy of Toronto, and Lieut..
T. Selfridge, 9Th United States field
artillery, expert in aerodromies.
The association was organized at
Halifax, Monday night, at banquet
given by Prof. Bell to Capt. Baldwin,
who, on Monday, made a successful
airship flight from that city. 1t was
the first time that Prof. Bell, who for
years has been studying and expert
menting in connection with aerial navi-
CATION, ever had seen an airship actu-
ally in flight The new association will
be incorporated in the United States,

is what the Board of Health will I'M
doubtedly insist on, washing their
hands of all responsibility. But the
lepers want TO come to Kalihi for their
treatment.
In the letter received on this sub
ject by the Advertiser from Kalaupapa,
enclosing the resolution quoted above,
occurs this para graph:
President Pinkham gave assurance
if the board approve of J. Lor WAL
ZACH and his treatment he will have
the new hospital now built at the Set
Element for that purpose and that we
committee of seven will bear all the
responsibility in looking after J. Lor
Wallach, that he should not go beyond
of what he is permitted. I suggest
to you to tell J. Lor Wallach to insist
of having his treatment carried on at
Kalihi, which is better all round for
him and his patients, for this reason,
they are confined there and can not
get out, here they will get out, get
drinking swipes, etc, and the treat
ment be worthless. I know this for
fact in regard to DR.. Gote's patients.
Another reason, food is plentiful there
ana also Ine drugs, Wnlle mere we nave
only of what rations we get from the
board and drugs it takes two weeks
to get here. With this it is a draw
back
Wallach has publicly announced,
however. that he will do just what is
arranged for between the Board of
Health and the Hawaiian leaders, but
it is possible that there will come a
further jangle and the matter be re-
opened.

The Crop Outlook.

The past week has brought the
much-wished-for rains, but the
doWnpour, instead of being the
usual April shower, was a veri-
table cloudburst, which left the
unseasonably low temperature
that has prevailed througout the
month of April. The cold wea-
Their has all along been the most
serious drawback, as it has pre-
vented the termination of the
planted seed and has actually SO
seriously damaged the cotton al
ready above ground that replant-
ing will be necessary to a very
considerable extent. Although
planting has been retarded by
the unseasonably cold weather,
it has not been delayed beyond a
reasonable date, and if planting
operations are now permitted to
go forward with energy, the
present season may still estab-
fish a record for a normal start.

Gifted by the recent rains and

Why Move from Home?

The great industrial develop
ment, iron, timber, manufacture
ing, railroad extension and many
other departments of labor have
opened up avenues of employ
ment and wealth not dreamed of
ten years ago. Today there is
no place where the laborer is
better paid for his hire, where
he can live so cheaply or where
he can enjoy better health than
right here in the garden spot OF
the whole country. Under good
husbandship the lands have been
made to blossom and bear fruit,
stock culture has developed into
a science that produces thorough
breds that rival the products OF
the best portions of Bluegrass
Kentucky. The poultry bust
has reached such proportions
that it is no longer considered a
"side line," and a big, fat hog,
which none of us are too poor to
raise, will keep the family larder
full or school the children for a
year. The laborer is the indie
pendent man, the housewoman
the jewel that commands her
price.
Remarkable as the statement
may seem, there is not a foot of
soil in this section of the state
that is worked to its full posi-
bilities there is not a garden
spot, be it ever so rich, that can
not be made richer by cultiva-
ton and fertilization. The land
has been made to more than
double it's products within the
past ten years, and farmers vie
with each other, and prosperity
is seen on every hand. Beauti-
ful country homes are building
everywhere. The future Of Mis-
sissippi is certainly bright, and
offers superior inducements to
all who have anything to offer
for the benefactions she has in
store.
