TALK WAS
INSTRUCTIVE
FATHER CUMMISkEY REFERS TO
SAINT PATRICK IN HIS Ap-
DRESS LAST NIGHT.
Said Historians Did Not Agree With
Reference to Birthplace Of Patron
Saint OF Ireland, but II He Was
Not Born There It Wa the Only
Mistake He Made.

After devotions in the Catholic
church last evening, Father Cummis-
key gave expression to a few beautiful
thoughts appropriate to the occasion,
the feast of st. Patrick. He began by
stating that he had not intended to
speak, but n national hymn rendered
by the excellent choir of st. Lawrence
church revived memories of the past,
which he could not suppress.
Instructive U~tterances.
His references to God and country
were both pretty and instructive, and
worthy of a shrine in every patriotic
heart. He held that the love Of God
and the love of country are insep-
arabic, and the fountains from which
flow all that is great, noble II true.
The love of God means the love of
country; the love of country, the love
of home; and the low of home. which
is the foundation of society, means
happiness and content.
ST. Patrick's Birthplace.
AS historians do not agree as to the
birthplace of st. Patrick, he humor-
ously remarked that If st. Patrick
was not born in Ireland it was the only
mistake he made in his notable career
1t is regretable that the brief talk
cannot be reproduced in full, as it is
worthy of more than passing interest
The closing remarks about Ireland and
America, especially the latter, would
make every true American feel proud

ANIMAL TRAITS.

Reminders In the FoaI and the Calf OF
Their Wild Ancestors.
1t is an Interesting study to note In
domestic animals the traits OF their
wild ancestors. There are some char
acteristics, of course, which are readily
recognizable as being similar to those
of animals still In a wild state, and
for this reason they give fair idea or
the life and surroundings Of progeni-
tors. The habits Of the dog and cat
are too familiar to comment on, but
take the foal and compare his traits
with those of the calf.
The foal when a few days old can
Rallop as fast as he ever can In after
life. He never leaves the dam and
takes nourishment In small quantities,
avoiding a full meal, which would i'm
pede swift escape. In lying down no
attempt is made at concealment, and
when he stands his head Is held high.
These habits show that the animals
ancestors spent their lives I'm the open
and not in the forests and that they
were great travellers.
The calf, on the contrary, fills him
self with milk and is poor traveller.
When danger approaches his first I'M
pulse is to conceal himself. He holds
his head low in order to look under
the branches Of the forest. All his
characteristics point to the fact that
the ancestral home of cattle was In a
moist wooded country, while the
primeval horse roamed the plains

Il Gets Its Name From the Cuttin0'
Not From the Stone.
The true nature of a cameo is very
much misunderstood by the public gen.
orally. Most people think it Is the stone
itself, when In reality the method or
cutting Is what produces the cameo.
The real meaning of the word Is I'M
Known, its derivation having never
been discovered; but, correctly speak
Ing, canoes are small sculptures exc
cuted in low relief on some substance
precious either for its beauty, rarity or
hardness.
There are emerald canoes, turquoise
canoes, shell canoes, coral canoes.
Indeed, any substance that lends ltseir
to carving in such minute detail can
be used for cameo cutting, and nearly
all precious stones, except diamonds,
have been SO used for intaglios, but
never for canoes. Emerald Is the most
common precious stone from WINCH
canoes have been made, and there are
some very fine emerald portrait cam
eos In existence, notably those OF
Queen Elizabeth in the British muse
um. Shell canoes were first made In
the fifteenth century.
Banded onyx is generally used for
cameo work because Of Its hardness
and coloring, and 1t is this fact that has
caused the misrepresentation, the stone
being used so much In making canoes
that 1t has now become better known
as "cameo" than by its right name

The RIaeksmith's Sleeves.

An aged woman was standing before
a beautiful picture of blacksmith In
a local department store. The picture
was a remarkable painting and had
evoked SO much praise that hundreds
of visitors thronged around it. Tha
figure was that of village black
smith standing at his forge, which was
blazing with a light that Illuminated
the whole room. The woman came to
the canvas with several younger wom-
en-, apparently her children. All stood
with rapt attention before the work Of
art, contemplating the light effects and
the beautiful shadows. One Of the
younger women asked of the elderly
one what she thought of the picture.
''Well, It's all right but the sleeves"
she replied II lived In the country
long time, and know something that
the painter with all his KNOWN didn't
know. That blacksmith's sleeves are
rolled out. Now, they don't wear them
that way. A blacksmith always turns
his sleeves in SO the flynn sparks
won't catch" -Indianapolis News.

A Friend In Need,

Immediately after the earthquake in
California in 1906 relief stations were
established in San Francisco and Oak
land. Supplies poured in from neigh
boring ranches, other towns and other
states, but almost all that was sent
needed to be cooked before 1t could be
eaten, and of course In many instances
homeless wanderers were in immediate
need of food. The volunteer cooks did
the best they could. They boiled great
kettles of soup, caldrons of coffee and
oceans Of tea, but it was impossible to
cook rapidly enough to supply all COM
ers Late one afternoon when the
cooked food supply was running low
and a long line of hungry persons still
waited to be fed a wagon halted before
one Of these stations, and bluff old
ranchman addressed the lady in charge.
"Say," said he, "I've brought you 300
dozen of the best eggs in the state, but
you won't need to cook them. They're
already cooked. I've been boiling eggs
since o'clock this morning."
