SPRING JEWELRY IN FULL
FLOWER.

JeweIry exactly to our liking and
your demands-fine or refined.
The trouble about the pretty
new modes in jeweIry is that
they take rage" and grow hor-
ribly common. Not so with these
exclusive, yet very reasonably
priced things we are showing.
And you know some stores
have such large stocks and yet
nothing, while we have such
small store, and - EVERY
THING.
Belt pins and buckles, collar
pins, Iockets, hat pins, combs,
bracelets, purses, fobs, and so on,
and this is the time of times when
you want them.

excluding two or three occasions when the Irish
Parliament sincerely and effectively took the
popular side, machinery about all there was,
for there was no pretence that it ever repre-
sented more than handful Of the people Of Ire
land.
From the beginning Of the Hanoverian era TO
the Union the story Of the Irish Parliament
House of Lords as well as House Of Commons
is one Of squalor; only very occasionally and for
very brief periods relieved by brighter spot to
which Irshmen who know the political history
of their country in the eighteenth century can
care to turn. There IS not much in the history
Of the Irish Parliament to which either an Irish
man or an Englishman can point with pride; for
while Irish gentlemen drew 10 themselves the
graft, and hunted for it with avidity, England
was primarily responsible for the political
ruption and squaIor that so long prevailed in
Ireland. England set up this miserable monde
script representative institution At times it
suited England to let it collapse. At other times
and this particularly between the Revolution
Of 1GSS and the Union-it suited England to
prop il up, and the more it needed propping the
more the grafters swarmed and compelled the
government TO pay out bribes and largesse to
thern-sometimes in peerages and sometimes in
pensions; sometimes by appointment TO the
Privy Council; sometimes by ecclesiastical pat
ronage, and often in sinecures or Offices that
could be filed by sweated deputies or that could
be sold for cash
It is with one of these swarming times. when
the Lord Lieutenant was in sore straits for sup
port to insure that the Irish Parliament should
indorse the policy of the North administration
toward the revolving American colonies, that the
document which DR.. William Hunt has un-
earthed is concerned Lord Harcourt was Vice

managed this dirty business until Lord Town

AMBROGIO DE PREDIS.
4 Beautiful Portrait by Him in the
Olde1lburg Gallery.

Early IN the nineteenth century when the
German painter Tischbein died his collection Of
some fourscore old pictures was bought by the
Grand Duke Of OldenbUrg. It formed a nucleus
tor gallery which to-day contains more than
three hundred works Of art, many OF them
works Of great Importance An illustrated ac-
cunt Of the collection has recently been pre-
rared by IJr. F2redius and Herr Schmidt -Degener
and Is trayersed in the current number OF the

give 10 Anbrogio the exquisite portrait Of q
young princess by Leonardo which is in the Am

authorship Of this famous portrait is one Of the
most amusing episodes in the annals Of modern

Ireland had a Parliament from 1895 to the
Union OF 1900. From about 1860 the Irish Par
iiafnent and the Irish representative system were
asslmilated to the Parliament and TIE represen-
tatlVe system of England. There was an Irish
house of Lords, with all the ceremonial usaces
Of the House Of Lords at Westminster. and an
irish House of Commons. to which members
were elected by county constituencies-knights
of the shire-and from freeman, burgage, cor
poration and potwalloper boroughs. All the
elaborate machinery of the English representa-
tive system-writs, sherifs, poIngs and free
beer-was gradually brought into service In con-
nection with the Parliament in Dublin; which
opened and closed with speeches from the throne,
and much of the ceremonial of the Parliament
at St Stephens All this machinery was com
plete and at work between the Revolution of
16SS and the Union: but, speaking generally. and

to carry it away at the price Of waste paper.
And yet it was fortunate that it was rescued
and that it fell into such good hands as those

given it to it is a monument to the fact that
the world does move, and that even politics are
on an immeasurably higher level than they
were hundred and thirty years ago.
