Courtship In ireland.

An Irish boy marries when he has a
rid house and an Irish girl just when
she pleases. Sometimes she so pleases
while yet her years are few; at other
times she is content to wait upon wis
dom. In the latter case, Of course, she
makes wise choice, but in the for
mer almost always lucky one, for
luck is the guardian angel Of the Irish.

pleaded that she should grant Lau-
renee O'Mahony particular boon.

Mary's reply. XIII =
"And she's never been used to work,

Nero's Golden House.

The golden house, of Nero seems
from all accounts to have been the
most stupendous dwelling place ever
built for a mortal man. Even If we
regard the ancient descriptions as
somewhat exaggerated it remains one
Of the largest royal houses ever built,
and the internal decorations seem to
have been incomparably magnificent.
It was surrounded by parks, woods
and pools Of great size, which appear
to have been entirely within the walls.
The colonnades Of the house itself ex-
tended mile in length and crossed
one of the main thoroughfares of the
city. The cities Of the east were ran
sacked for masterpieces Of Greek art
for the interior. The walls shone with
gold and pearls, and the roof rested on
marble columns Of enormous size and
beauty.-New York American.

Strong MonosyllabIes.

Instructors in the art Of literary
composition usually condemn string
Of monosyllables, but in the we'll
known hymn LEAD, Kindly Light, "
written by master Of the English
language, you may count thirty con-
secutive words Of one syllable only.
They offend neither the eye nor the
ear. ~.
Milton often uses a series of mono
syllables. In the second book Of "Par-
adise Lost" we have: - -..- ~
-. The fiend ..... <s n
Der bog or steep, through strait, rough,
dense or rare,
With head, hands, wings or feet pursues
his way .-.
And swims or sinks or wades or creeps

Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, boys, dens and
shades Of death.
And again: s-,.

SHOULD REDUCE EXPRESS RATES.

A matter that should not be lost
sight of by the people, and espec-
tally the country newspaper man
and country merchant, is the regu-
lation of the rates of express COM
panies. For instance, the maximum
rate within given radius for 100
pounds is as cents, but any sort of
a charge under As cents, for any
weight under 100 pound. 1t seems
plain that the Legislature should
take cognizance Of the situation and
force express companies land other
public service corporations to give
the people the relief needed.

The Nervous Mother.

An Atchison woman who is very
nervous and inclined to worry is the
mother Of a boy She recently read
Of boy who was killed while roller
skating and Immediately put her sons
roller skates in the fire. Another
newspaper told Of boy who was kill
ed riding the street cars, and as boys
are frequently killed while walking by
street cars running over them she
chained her boy to the front door.
Then she read Of boy who died of
blood poisoning caused by his shoe
rubbing his heel, and her boys shoes
and stockings came off. The story Of
boy who bit off button on his
waist and choked to death resulted in
her taking off her boys clothes. He
had left only flannel shirt, and she
is reading now that wearing flannel
shirts Is the cause of great mortality
and is thinking of removing that

The Romans Invented Horsepower

Inc Romans Invented HORSEPOWER.
The Romans, among whom agricul-
ture was highly favored occupation,
were an Inventive race, especially in
the matter Of labor saving machines.
Recognizing the drudgery Of hand
mills, they invented those whose mo-
tive power was impaired by asses,
mules and oxen and introduced them
into all the countries conquered by
their victorious armies. There is no
positive record Of the name Of the
originator of this improvement in
milling.
