THE IRISH FAIRIES.
What a Writer Has to Say About the
leprechauns.

What Writer Has to Say About the
Leprechauns.
The letter in yesterdays issue about
a Tipperary leprechaun had a scot
fng ring about it, says writer in the
Dublin Independent. Evidently &c. A.
D." had his doubts about the fairies.
This is fashionable and scientific"
The ten-a-penny British scientists OF
today brush aside with contempt all
belief in an unseen world. If they are
reminded that belief in the fairies ex-
lists in every land on the globe, they
only exclaim "Superstition! And yet,
perhaps, after ALL cocksure though
they are, these scientists, they may not
be as near the truth as they imagine.
Strange things are happening in our
day. Mr.. w. r. Stead, the editor Of
one of London's ablest magazines, de-
clares solemnly that he is in daily In
tercourse with his son, who died
twelve months ago. That is more as
tcnishing even than the fairies. AID
last year the New Ireland Review pub
lished a very remarkable story about
the appearance Of foxes on the eve Of
the death of any member of the Pres
ton family, an ancient Irish Catholic
family. The latest event of the kind
was quite recent. and the foxes were
there without fail The evidence of
Lieutenant Preston was beyond Qucs-
ton. Now, if those things arc truc
why should the rprechaun be so I'M
possible?
Anglicization has helped largely to
kill belief in the fairies in Ireland
The little smattcrjng of science that
the Englishman acquired was dcstruc-
tive of his belief in anything less sub
stantial than iron. coal, or bcefsteak.
But deeper scientific study is having
it's due effect upon the Englishman S
mind, and we have scientists like Sir
Oliver Lodge proclaiming that the
space above the Garth is a thousand
times more solid Than granite. And Sir
William Crookc-- who, like Sir Oliver,
would probably laugh at the Tippcrary
leprechaun-telling us that he saw a
spirit photographed spirit of a
girl who died over 100 years ago! He
even tells us he saw the spirit girl
take one of his children on her lap
and amusc the child with stories!
A fairy to John Bull is as impossible
as a guardian angel or anything else
intangible. have met Englishmon
who stared when one spoke of "the
banshee's lonely Groom" We should
never try to argue with our friend
John on the point. There is nothing In
his mental outfit that one could appeal
TO on the subject. You might as well
talk of ice to Niger by Lake Chad,
or OF sunstroke to the hardy Eskimo.
The scoffers in ireland should cross
the Shannon and listen to the old folks
telling of the fairy bush, the haunted
rath, etc. There is something in the
very air in Connaught before which ac-
quired scepticism vanishes as snow be-
fore the sun. This Irish scepticism is
only veneer laid on by British hands;
beneath it is the INFINITE spiritual pos
sibilities Of the true Celt.
