brates today his sixty first birthday,
having been born October 5, 1S4S, in
Athlone county, of Galway, Ireland.
That was the year of the fearful fam
inc, of which the world has its best
account from Mr. O'Connor in his
book on THE Parnell Movement"
He was educated in the College of
the Immaculate Conception in his ma
tive town and at Queens college in
Galway. He was so bright and earn
est a student that he graduated in his
eighteenth year, as the senior pupil
of the college in history and modern
languages. AS soon after his gradua-
ton, as he had enough money to trav-
ell. he came to Dublin, where as a ju-
niOr reporter on the staff of local
Tory paper he began his career in
journalism. 1t is said that the sum
placed opposite his name on the pay
roll was the munificent stipend of ten

ShillingS a week.
Finding not only the salary made
quate to his needs but the atmosphere
of the office very unconsenial, O'Con-
nor resigned after a few months and
packing his few belongings in port
nanteau turned his face, toward Lon
don in search of chance to make
progress.
With much in his head, but little
on his back and still less in his pock-
cts, the friendless young journalist
from Ireland began the battle which
has placed him in the forefront of
public men not only in England and
Ireland. but America as well, where
he is known for his work in cameo
ton with the advancement OF the
United Irish league.
Mr.. O'Connor got his first material
start from his Life of Lord Beacons-
field,' the first edition of which had
hardly been issued from the press
when Disraeli died. The book was
quoted literally by the press Of Eng
land and of the world, and as a result
of such advertising OConnors SER
vices as writer and lecturer soon
became in great demand.
After making highly successful
lecture tour of the United States and
Canada. spreading the light of the
Land League gospel. Mr.. OConnor re-
turned to London, and in the twin fields
of literature and politics became soon
recognized leader. Then he started,
in succession, the London Star. the
Sunday Sun, NJ. A. P. and T. P.'s
Weekly, all of which, strongly indi-
vidualistic in their editorial tone, at
tanned enormous circulation in the
great newspaper field of the English
metropolis.
Mr.. O'Connor is one of the few mem
bers of the house of commons who
have uninterruptedly sat for the same
constituency since the passing of the
last reform act.
He was recently elected president
of the United Irish league of Great
Britain for the twenty sixth consecu-
tive time.

method takes a good deal of time and
makes lot of work as the lining and

small stitches as near to the edges of

the fur try not to get the hair tangled

tear a mussy and rumpled appearance
that will look bad. If the work is care

With a piece of cotton batting dipped
in gasoline. All Innings can be cleaned
in this way without removing them
from the fur if they are not too soled
When the lining becomes worn select
a good quality of gray or white satin
for lining. or if compelled to be more
economical, select a shade which
matches the fur. Rip the old lining
out and use it for pattern laying it
on the new and then cutting it out.

To be able to receive praise or
thanks graciously is a fine art and a
rare one.
How many people do you know who
can respond without any self con-
seriousness or embarrassment or aWk-
wardness to words of thanks or praise:
And are you one of them?
4 had rather not be thanked" we
hear someone say and think his atti-
tude very fine and noble.
But is it? Isn't it really much kind
er and finer to receive graciously the
one return your BENEFICIARY is perhaps
able to make you-the expression of
his gratitude?
Some people who do not actually
run away from thanks have another
method of curtailing them. They keep
as a sort of watch dog with which to
ward away any attempts at thanks,
some pet formula such as Don't men,
tiou it, THE pleasure is wholly mine
or some other equally impersonal re-
joinder.
What is there wrong in that?
Well. simply the fact that these
phrases are impersonal. Ready made
things you know. are never as highly
priced as the hand made articles For
a stranger such phrases might do but
to a friend they are almost rude.
Forms between friends are bad form.
Another piece of poor taste is to
ostentatiously disparage your ability
when anyone praises your talent or
thanks YOU for a performance. -ie-
member that in disparaginS what they
praise you are disparaging their judg-
ment.

Farm and Garden Notes

to save the bushes?
The currant worm is widespread and
is responsible for the abandonment of
currant and gooseberry growing in
many places. Watch the lower leaves,
on which the worms first appear They
may be quite readily destroyed by the
application of hellebore in either the
powdered or liquid form. Spray the
foliage once or twice, as soon as eX-
posed, with solution Of hellebOre at
the rate of one ounce to a gallon Of
water. If a second brood appears in
summer give them the same treatment.
If spraying with BrdeauX for leaf spot
use arsenate of lead.

PARKS, sept. ~. lSO9.
The difference between millinery in
Paris and in America is that French
women buy a few hats at time, and
buy a new collection every few weeks;
American women buy all their hats
for a season at the beginning of the
season. French women may wear eX-
pensive millinery or cheap millinery,
but it is always fresh and stylish look
ing. Midway in any season in Ameri-
ca half the women are wearing hats
that cost lot" to start with, but
have become frayed and frumpy with
usage.
Caroline RebOuxs latest fad is a
high draped turban that has tenden-'
cy to droop over one eye. This is
combined with a coarse net with very
large mesh, and has high standing
brush aigrette in the back. This same
turban is shown in velvet, with every
imaginable "drape' by the other mil
liners of note (and mountainous
prices.) Even at the June races hats
of huge size with immense crowns

Probsbl" you have had your furs
stored all summer at a professional
furrier's where they have been kept in
Il cold storage vault where the temper
allure registers so low that moths are
impossible. The care that furs are
given, both in cleaning and storing, is
so excellent that the wise woman will
consider it a saving instead of an un-
necessary expense to have her furs
Jared for by a reliable furrier. The
cost Of cleaning them more than equals
the saving of wear and tear from
moths and dust they would be subject
to at home
Furs when taken out in the fall, es-
pecially if the owner is so unwise to
have kept them at home. are apt to
have a mussed and crushed appear
ance. One simple method of making
the pile stand up is to shape the garnet
first and then wet the fur with clear
cool water and clean clothes brush,
brushing the hair the right way until
the fur is smooth. Then leave it to
dry thoroughly and when dry beat the
fur on the right side with a rattan
cane. This will make the pile stand
up.
Another method OF cleaning furs
;,.
to clean them with bran. Fill dish
pan with bran and set it in the oven
to warm. Rub the warm bran into the
fur again and again until every spot
has been gone over several times.
When thebran becomes soiled throw it
away and replace it. When the furs
are clean. brush them we'll -2ntil every
particle Of the bran has been removed.
Hang out of doors for a day or two
and the fur will be soft. fluffy and full
of life. Cold bran will not do the
work and for this reason the bran
must be kept warm all during the pro-
cess This method will not injure the
lining.
TO keep furs Of any kind fresh they
must not only be cared for frequently
during the season. Brush them thor
oughly and beat several times with a
rattan cane. then air them for II
hours. This process will rid them of
have to be cleaned several times dur
ing the season Every time furs are
taken out of the closet they should be
shaken several times. This will raise
the hairs up and make the fur fluffy.
There is not much danger of moths
