An Ancient Irish Custom

In the district known as 1.-The barony
Of FORTH" in County Wexford, Ireland,
is to be found race of Woodworking,
Industrious peasants living in matched
cottages with clean, whitewashed walls
which by their perfect whiteness at
once arrest the attention of the visitor
These people differ in many respects
from the inhabitants Of the other parts
of the same county and have habits
and customs peculiar to themselves.
When a funeral takes place two wood
en- crosses are provided. On the way
to the cemetery n halt is made at n
certain spot by the side of the road.
Here prayers are said forthe deceased,
after which one cross is deposited in q
hawthorn bush or under it. The pro-
cession then goes on its way, and after
the interment the other cross is fixed
ut the head Of the grave. This strange
custom dates from time immemoral
as the great pile of crosses by the rond,
side indicates.

LONG sieaes In CONGRESS.

Samuel j. Randall Of Pennsylvania
was an avowed protectionist Democrat
and man who, his colleagues had
learned, usually was able to get his
way. Randall had first entered con-
gress in 1862. He was quiet, per-
sistent, Woodworking person who at
tracted little attention for several
years. Then the Republicans, sure of
their majority and wishing to expedite
business, undertook to adopt rules
which would prevent obstruction. The
quiet Mr.. Randall set himself against
the attempt. He led the small Demo
cratic majority with skill so unusual
that more than once he blocked the
Republicans way until it was too late
to pass the measure. His endurance
seemed unlimited. From one session
lasting forty-six hours and twenty-five
minutes, where Randall had forced the
roll to be called seventy-tive times, he
came out. rs fresh as he went in. At
another time in the fight over the
force bill he was on the floor for sew
enty-two consecutive hours. = Ida NJ.

BRITT BEsTs NELSON
Latter Is Not Knocked Out But Is
Only Awarded Two Rounds
Out of the Twenty.


Auditorium. San Francisco, Aug. l.
Jimmy Britt of San Francisco gained
a decision over Battling Nelson, Of
Hcgewisch, ILL.,, at the end of twenty
rounds of as fast and pretty fighting
us has been seen in San Francisco III
many years. At no time was either
man In danger of knockout until
near the end of the last round, when
Britt's right and left swings and up
percuts, which he landed one otter
another at will on Nelson's face all
but put the Dane down and out.
Nelson did the greater part of the
leading from start to finish, but was
outdone by Britt in cleverness, ring
generalship and everything but game.
ness and ability to take punishment.
Referee Welsh. after announcing his
decision, gave Nelson only two rounds
out of the twenty, the second and the
seventh. Britt was best at long range,
but he didn't shirk close quarters ana
here he also outclassed Nelson; the
only thing he lacked was force enough
to put his antagonist out. He found
Nelson's jaw over and over again and
found it hard, but nothing less than d
sledge hammer would knock out the
Dane.

How Piutes Catch Quail.

The Piutes have unique way of
getting quail. For them there is no
closed season or, indeed, any game
law whatever. Seasons when the quail
come down from the mountains to the
spring the Indians make great prepa-
ration for their capture. They build
bough house with a long slender
opening in the front formed of tall
straight sticks set closely together.
Within the house an Indian sits con-
cealed, holding a long timber rod,
which he operates deXterously through
the narrow opening. In the early
morning when the birds flock down for
water he picks them off one at time
killing them instantly. There is no re.
port in this manner of hunting to
brighten the others away, and the Indi.
an often gets enough game i'll single

The same system of labor cannot be

consistent with preservation of ones
reputation as a good workman. But
when 1t comes to writing durable
