TRADITION.
Says That Ghosts Ride Through
Numerous Sections of
Ireland.
Very Pretty Legend About the
Ill-Fated Lord Edward
Fitzgerald.
Spectral Earl of Kildare Said
to Yet Drive Across the
Curragh.
HAPPENS EVERY SEVEN YEARS

People are so much accustomed to
hear of ghosts walking or rather
gliding that it may be as well to call
attention to the fact that in quite a
number of the ancestral homes of
Ireland the supernatural visitors
make a point of either riding or driv-
ing. There is the spectral Earl of
Kildare, ancestor of the young Duke
of Leinster. who at the end of every
seventh year rides across the famous
Curragh, where the race course and
the military camp are, carrying a
silver cup in his right hand, and hold
ing the reins in his left. He is
mounted on a snow white charger
whose shoes are of solid silver, and
the tradition insists that should the
horse at any time appear with his
silver shoes worn out, either an Earl
of Kildare or a member of the Fitz-
gerald family, of which he is the
chief, will annihilate all the enemies
of Ireland.
1t is declared that Lord Edward
Fitzgerald, the Inflated son of the
twentieth Earl of Kildare and first
Duke of Leinster, caught sight of this
ghostly apparition and imagined that
the silver shoes were worn out, and
that it was this which led him to
head the rising of '9s, which resulted
in his arrest and his death in prison
from his wounds. His widow, famous
Pamela, who is generally believed to
have been a half-sister of King Louis
Philippe, afterward married Mr.. Pit
cairn the American Consul at Ham,
burg. Further tradition concerning
the spectral Earl Of Kildare goes TO
show that if he should appear with
out the silver cup in his right hand
it would be an omen that the line OF
Fitzgeralds would shortly afterward
become extinct.

MAKES LAST ROUTE.

John c. Brady, for years past a
well known letter carrier of the west
End. succumbed Thursday night to
the ravages of consumption, from
which he had long been sufferer.

only survivor, his wife having died
three years ago. Funeral services

Grains of Sand.

Kindness is kind-ness-a recogni-
ton that, for all our differences, we
are members one of another-the
same kind of pottery in different
stages Of firing.
Great reforms are but the spring
tides Of evolution-the extra pull OF
celestial upon the great deep of hui
man possibilities, when earth a1d
Heaven are in conjunction.
Christianity is not in ethics, but
in faith. When the Son Of man
cometh will He find faith on the
earth?
Elijah did not have to wait for a
referendum before he began his work
of reform.
We should not be with wicked men
as their companions, but as their
physicians.
Christ did not build His Gospel on
"grand perhaps" I" but on the eter-
nal ".know."
Jesus was at His best in heart-to-
heart nlinistration; mulritudes al
ways thronged Film.
There is something wrong with the
man who can be satisfied while the
saloon remains.

Window Curtains.

The choice and arrangement OF cur
tains for the summer home is an i'm
portant factor in giving it an indiVid-
ual character of its own.
1t is one of those things which In
dicate very clearly the taste and or
derliness prevailing within, or the
absence Of them. The manner in
which they hang in straight, even
folds, or sagging at the corners with
the pattern meeting irregularly, tells
a story of its own.
The wheels of the domestic ma.
chinery may run smooth enough
within, but the public takes its opin-
ion from the appearance OF the win
dows. Nothing gives a house more
careless, neglected aspect than soiled
or badly hung window draperies.
With muslin curtains ready to hang
selling for so cents and 10 cents sold
by the yard there seems to be little
excuse for. the lack Of clean, we'll
hung curtains, suspended from brass
rods sold for Is cents window

4,sss,eso WOMEN WORK.
They Have Invaded All But Nine
Occupations.

They Have Invaded All But Nine
Occupations.
Women at work In the United
States is the subject Of q report is.
sued by the Census Bureau based on
the returns in 1900. In that year in
continental United States the j
number Of women 16 years OF age
and over was 23,4S5,559, while those
at work numbered 4,S33,6sO. Most
of the women at work were young,
68.4 per cent. being under 35 years
Of age; 44.2 per cent, under %, and
25.6 per cent. had not reached the
age Of 81; 1873 per cent. were mar
ried, IT. per cent. were widows, and
1.3 per cent. were divorced.
The number of divorced women re-
turned by the census, the report says,
is probably deficient, because the fact
OF divorce Is not always admitted. OF
the number reported divorced, 55.3
per cent. were supporting themselves
wholly or in part. The total number
Of women at work included 71,9GG
native white women, whose parents
also were natives; 1,OS9,744 native
white women, one or both OF whose
parents were immigrants: S40,011
white women, who were themselves
immigrants; 1.119,621 negro women.
and 1928 Indian and Mongolian wo-
men.
The number of women ct work more
than doubled in the twenty years
from 1880 to 1900, and there was
noticeable increase of bread winners
among married women in 1900 as com.
pared with 1890. Women were rep.
resented in all but nine of the 303
occupations in which bread winners
of the country were engaged.
The returns showed among other
things, that five females were en-
ployed as pilots; on steam railroads
10 were employed as baggagemen. 81
as brakemen, as conductors, IS as
engineers and firemen, and 26 as
switchmen, yardmen and fagmen; 43
were carriage and hack drivers, 6
ship carpenters, roofers and ,slat.
ers, 1855 blacksmiths, sos machinists,
s boilermakers. 81 charcoal, coke and
limeburners and II were borers. Two
women were reported as "motormen."
Almost one-fourth of the tital num-
Der of women at work were servants,
1885, were farm laborers, 96.S per
cent.of whom were from the Southern.
States, and 361,SO4 were negroes.
There were 33S,144 dressmakers, 327,-
2O6 teachers, 32S,933 laundressas, 307,-
FOG farmers, 231,45S textile mill op-
eratives and 146,929 housekecpers and
stewardesses.

FOR PRACTICE: ! ONLY
No Ultefior Motives in Sending.
Warships to the Pacific
STAY WILL LIKELY BE BRIEF
Deprecates the Idle Talk and specu-
lation INDUCED in by Press and
Public Over the Action of the De-
partment in Ordering the American
Fleet to the Pacific.

Oakland, CAL, Special.-secretary
of the Navy Metcalf deprecates the
war-like aspect that has been given
the order of the cruise Of the great
battleship squadron from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast. The Secretary
said that the proposed movement was
that of practice cruise and that the
fleet would not be kept in the Pacific
permanently. He declared that the
length Of time that the feet would re-
main on the western side of the con-
tinent had not yet been decided.
With considerable emphasis 5he
Secretary voiced his opinion that the
war-like Interpretation that had been
made in connection with the fleets
movement was not justified by the
facts. In fact the widely published
reports suggested hostile prepara-
tions, seem to be a source of irrita-
ton for The head Of the navy. He
said:
"The fleet which will be moved
from the Atlantic to the Pacific this
winter is coming to this side merely
ON o practice cruise. The feet will
consist of 16 or more vessels, not more
than 20, and its stay on this side will
not be permanent. Of course, the fleet
will not come here, turn around
and go right back again. How long it
will remain in the Pacific will be de-
termined at the proper time.
"Therc is no serious reason or ex-
cuse for all this talk by the public
and through the press of an attempt
to overawe the japanese by q war
like naval display. I do not believe
that the newspapers are justified or
right in so construlng and coloring
the cruise of the warships to the Pa.
cific.

Proper Washing.

In the morning have a basin OF
tepid water with a soap that you
know is absolutely pure. You can
test it oy touching it with your
tongue. If it "bites" it contains too
much alkali. Soak your hands thor
oughly In the soft suds. Do not use
ammonia or borax or any other quick
dirt remoYers.
If you use brush at all, select one
soft enough to scrub the face with.
Hands are too slender to withstand
the drastic, rough brush often sold
under the name of a nail brush. An
oatmeal bag may be thrown into the
water when you wash, or a dash of
almond meal. This softens the skin
and that is what you are trying to
accomplish above all else.

furniture and pictures a great deal of
trouble can be saved on sweeping day.
Buy cheap print cloth.
Have three breadths in the cover,
and have it three yards and a half
long. 1t should be hemmed on the
sewing machine.
Six covers is the usual number,
though some households will not need
nearly that many.
Always remove these coverings
carefully, then take them out Of doors
to be shaken.
They will last a long time, and pay
for themselves in year, because
they save so much extra dusting and
the moving of heavy articles.

THE BEST BREED.

As a matter of fact, there is no
such thing as a best breed. At the
same time, there may be some breed
that for your individual case would
be superior to others.
For instance, If you wish a general
purpose fowl one of the varieties of
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, or
Rhode Island Reds, would probably
be the best for your purpose. If it
is eggs and eggs alone you are after,
then get one Of the breeds in the Med
iterranean class-Leghorns, M:norcas,
Hamburgs, or Spanish.
Study your market demand, study
your environments and natural choice;
then procure the breed that will best
supply your conclusions drawn from
the above.
Don't think for a minute that you
can't make a succeas OF pure-bred
fowls, because they are no more diff
ficult TO handle than scrubs, providing
you handle the latter correctly also

A SMALL sEcgET>
Couldn't Understand the Taste Of his
r.t Customers.

Two men were discussing the
various food products now being sup
piled in such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer. said II frequently
try package or so of any certain
article before offering it to my trade,
and in that way sometimes form a
different idea than my customers
have.
For instance, I thought I would
try Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such call for
1t. At breakfast I didn't like it and
supper pro-ed the same, so I natur-
ally concluded that my taste was diff
ferent from that of the customers
who bought 1t right along.

lady who was buying a 25c package
and told her 1 couldn't understand

Remove Paint Spots.

Where a house is being done up
paint is not infrequently split on
doorsteps, and it is sometimes found
difficult to remove. In that case
make strong solution of potash and
wash the steps, simply leaving the
solution to soak in. In short time
the paint will become soft and then
can be washed off with soap and water.
Then use cold water. Paint which
has been left for some time will yield
to this treatment.-New Haven Reg
