Remedy for Nervousness.

There are people who are always in
Il hurry, says the Augustinian. To
them every moment seems lost that is
not devoted to business. They have
no time for religion. no time to saw a
kind word, no time to console the sor-
rowing or to encourage the disheart
ened: they must hurry on. They have
too much to do, they say, to waste
their energies on sentiment.
Yet, strange to say, they are the very
people who receive the smaller share
OF the true riches that are offered by
this life. They are Over-anxous to
succeed: their thoughts are jumping
about from one thing to another, Otter,
with no definite plan. no inteligen,
system; they are working on one
thing and they feel that they should
be at another, and they drift back
ward and forward. The results are toe
small for their efforts. Affairs are
terminating in different manner
from what they expected. And thus
they are constantly troubled: worry is
their habitual state OF mind. And
While they are squandering their men
tai powers on tritles they are bringing
into their lives, as permanent factors
discomfort, nervous exhaustion, dis
ease.
Their difficulty is as clear as day:
everyone else sees it, and everyone
else laments that they themselves can
not be made to realize it. What they
need is to devote more time to thought
to meditation. to prayer. They need
to put their lives in order; they need
to learn that physical effort is not the
nobler part of life; they need to know
that man truly lives only i'm his
thought. affection and aspirations
More attention to the finer qualities a,
soul. more thoughtful prayer and thei,
lives would be happier, richer and
purer.

remote ages took their colors from the
most striking ones of the earth, the
sea and sky, it is highly probable that
the first Irish banner was blue-the
blue OF the sky or the waters from
which the sun appears to rise and
sink.
Another authority contends that this
original flag was green, emblematic
as it is today of the Emerald Isle, the
first people, followers Of Zoroaster or
Fire Worshippers from the East who
unfurled the colors on the island.
In the fight of time the Celts be-
came masters of the island, but they

it was in the beginning.
In the first year of the Christian era
the flag was emblazoned with an an
cient harp of gold and in Difference to
the many people Of the island who re-
fused to accept Christianity, half Of
the original sunburst was retained.
1t was in this first year of the Chris
tian era that the harp made it's ap-
pearance on the island. Timotheus, a
celebrated Milesian musician, en-
chanted the people with the sweet
strains of his wonderful harp, and in
their ecstacy they were inspired to
immortalize the harp by blazoning it
on their flag. Tradition tells us that
the lost harp of King David went to
Ireland in the first Christian year,
when the Psalms of David were being
chanted with profound pomp and
ceremony.
The green flag with white shamrock
and harp was subsequently, adopted,
and this remained unchanged until the
tenth century Then, when the Celts
determined to drive the invading
Danes off the island, one of the daugh-
ters of King Brian is said to have en-
broidered with yellow silk a beautiful
banner, which was presented to the
Kings own regiment. The flag con-
tinued to be of green ground, golden
harp, and shamrock until the union
with England in 1900.

DROUGHT IN IRELAND
Causing Great Deal Of Damage t
Late Crops.

According to reports certain parts
continued drought. A report from
Banagher dated Sept. 8, says: The
temperature today in Banagher was
Ill degrees in the sun and y degrees
in the shade, a record that has not
been reached within the memory of
the old inhabitants of the place.
Cloudless skies and bright sunshine
are the order since the advent of Sep
TENDER, and harvesting operations are
nearly completed. The opening price
for best quality barley today at
Messrs. Walters and Co.'S maltings
was las per barrel. There was an
average supply, and the quality OF the
grain is regarded as superior to that
of last year. The drought is causing
very great Inconvenience to farmers.
and long lines of carts can be seen
every day carrying water from the
Shannon to the uplands. The pumps
u tIlc lOWll are ALMOST run uIS, anu
grave fears are entertained of shortage
of water for cooking purposes.
The crops that mature early are re-
ported to be excellent. In the vicinity
of Portumna it is said the harvest
prospects never looked better than
this season. Potatoes are said to be d
splendid crop. and few diseased tubers
have been found up to the present.
The barley crop on the Tipperary side
Of the Shannon is all saved. and there
is a plentiful yield this season. far in
advance of last year. 1t has proved
an exceptional season for hay and
turf. The turnp crop is a total fail
ure and water is very scarce through
out the district.
In many places the long continued
dry spell is causing a shortage of wa
ter. The drying up of the wells in
some places is causing grave fears.

Your Debt.

YOU owe her more than a living
Than food and clothing and bed;
You owe her more than place to cal
And a roof to cover her head.
You owe her more than a dwelling

Or a cot by the bloomy mile:
You owe her love, and a tender word
And kiss and q daily smile.
You owe her more than conveniences
Than water and heat and clothes;
You owe her more than some shop

A play and a dollhouse rose.
You owe her ver-increasing love.
That she'll treasure more than all
The curtains Of lace in the living
Or the brussels rug in the hall.
You owe her more than her bed anc

Than comfort OF body and mind;

You owe her the deathless gratitude
That Il manly man should feel
For the woman who comes TO his life
to make
Life something noble and real.
