The Ostrich Feather

A good ostrich feather will be silky
and glossy looking, while an inferior
quality will be dull and woolly in ap-
pearance. Only by comparison can
these points be discovered. Next the
flues should be firm and springy. The
f1ues of a poor feather are lifeless.
The longer and wider the f1ues the bet
ter the feather. 1t takes more than
one single quill to make feather. AS
a rule a thick, bushy feather will be
made of three auills, each overlaying
the other, and 1t Is not unusual that
the middle layer is made of short
pieces. The upper and under quill.
however, will be a single quill. In
buying willow plume 1t should be
noticed how the fronds are attached.
A genuine willow plume will be knot
ted. a cheap feather will probably be
gummed.

confidence to be sounded" as Post
master General Meyer sounded it at
Hot Springs yesterday. But this year
Mr.. Meyer need not hold up the pi,-
ture of the Republican cohorts idling
their time away in their domestic Ca
puas while Fabius Maximus Bryan IS
drilling his forces and leading them
to battle. Even if the Republicans go
to the polls and do their very best
they have a fight on their hands this
year such as they have not had since
1896. There are still large numbers
Of Democrats who cannot stomach
Bryan, but there are large numbers,
too. that have made up their mind this
year to swallow the dose Bryan's
strength in the Middle West is yet to
be tested. Foraker's capacity for mis-
chief in Ohio must be discounted.
Johnson's denomination in Minnesota
raises a new sensitive spot on the sur
face of the Republican body polite.
No. there is no reason for Republican
overconfidence this year, and Mr.. Mey-
er's warning was uncalled for. unless
the corporations have shown a tend
ency to fall into what the colored
preacher called "contributory negl:
sence."

Juggling the News.

TO the Editor Of the Irish Standard:
A few days ago one of our local con-
temporaries published a sensational
dispatch from Cincinnati headed:
"Party's champion in Ohio gives up"
The article was accompanied by cut
of John r. Mclean, the owner Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer-the champion
in question-who was represented as
having Saskatchewan he did not say
it-that there is slim chance of
electing Mr.. Bryan Well, so long as
there is chance at all. Mclean is a
fool to give up" unless he is an en-
envy in the camp. AS Sam Fessen-
don said of Joe Manly: THE AL
mighty hates quitter!' Now wheth-
er Mclean is "a gutter" will be made
apparent before the close of the cam
paign, but in any event the friends Of
Mr.. Bryan need not worry over the
alleged prediction Of the "party's
champion" The day OF the political
forecaster is over in America. The
peop!e-"the common people"-have
taken it into their heads Of late-and
1t is one OF the most encouraging
signs Of the times-to cast their votes
without taking the bosses" or the
Organs" into their confidence. The
result Of the most notable "landslides"
in recent years took nobody more by
surprise than the party Organs" on
both sides. There was time when
the party organ had political follow
ing, but that time. too. is past Peo-
pie read the papers nowadays for the
news which they contain, and not for
the political advice which they give so
oracularly and with such ex-cathedra
positiveness. For the people, whom
you cannot fool all the time. have at
last discovered that the average news
paper is conducted, not on principle,
but "for revenue only"
Everybody knows that, had the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Bryan been left to the I'M
Influenced choice Of the voters, he
would have been triumphantly elected
the first time he ran; but corruption,
Misrepresentation, and intimidation
were used unscrupulously to defeat
him even a second time. Whether
the same tactics can be successfully
resorted to a third time remains to be
seen. I doubt it. On the contrary 1
believe there is very fair prospect
Of electing to the presidency the
grandest tribune Of the people that
has risen since the days Of Stephen A.

Innishowen, in the North of Ireland
was long ago famous for the manufao-
ture Of "potheen," or illicit whisky:
now it is likely to acquire notoriety foz
a discovery Of gold and other precious
ores, says the Philadelphia Standard
and Times. Lord shaftesbury, the
owner, has leased a portion Of the
soil which is found to be rich in this
respect. and mining operations will
soon be inaugurated therein. Coal and
iron have been found in the surround
ing country in considerable quantities.
The late Professor o'sullivan, OF
Queens College, Cork, in surveying
the industrial resources Of ireland,
says that the northeast Of Ulster is
geologically the most fortunate part OF
Ireland, for 1t contains greater va
riety Of GRANTEES than any Of the other
granite regions, besides fine sand
stones adapted for building, great de-
posits of rocksalt and f1reclay, pottery
and brick clay and great masses of
iron ore. But he never seemingly,
suspected the existence of gold in that
part of the country. If the news Of
the discovery be confirmed, the pros
poets of Ulster will be considerably
frightened. Besides the railways, the
task of transportation Of products will
be comparatively easy because Of the
adjacent waterway afforded by the
expanse of Tough Neagh and the Ul-
ster canal system. An esteemed SUBJ
scriber, by the by, asks a question
relative to the water of Tough Neagh
whether it has the power ascribed
to it by residents, Of petrifying objects
lying below the surface. We believe
1t does exhibit this power. The Able
MacGeoghegan, in his famous His.
tory Of Ireland" says: cts waters are
celebrated for the quality they possess
of changing wood and iron into stone.
