Historical Aspect of Home Rule.

From the North American Review.
The period from ls47 to 1870. is in many
respects one of the glooniest in the an
nails OF Ireland. 1t produced a famine
1N1-1S49) and two abortive instructions
uS4S and 1861 1t produced evictions on
a colossal scale and a consequent emigra-
ton, which, combined with the famine,
reduced the population by over 3O0U,0Op
1t produced also in the ffties a set of
political hnaves and tricksters whose
shameless self-seeking and betrayal of
principle for place and pelf disgusted the
people with parliamentary methods. Such
questions as engaged the public mind had
reference mainly to the tenure OF land,
to education. and TO the affairs OF the
Catholic and Established churches-im-
portant subjects in themselves. which en-
Of everything else. Hence during those
twenty-three years. except for an occa-
sional voice crying in the wilderness.
scarcely any one spoke on the burning
question which from 1854 onward, and
especially during the heydaS of O'Connell
in the forties. had occupied the minds Of
men-nameiy. the repeal of the Union.
!, April 8, 1885, Gladstone. in his third
premiership, introduced the government
of Ireland bill, whose essence was that
it conceded the principle Of a separate
parliament for Ireland He was not able,
however, to carry all his party with him
and the bill was defeated by majority Of
30-341 to 311-June S, 1886, and the deci-
sion was confirmed on a dissolution OF
parliament and an appeal to the elector-
ate. A second home rule bill for Ire
land was introduced by Gladstone in his
fourth premiership February 13. 1895. and,
after long debate extending to Septem-
ber I, passed it's third reading or final
stage in the house Of commons by small
ma jority, but was incontinently rejected
September 8 by the house of lords by the
contemptuous vote of 4l9 to ~.
Since then no home rule bill Was intro
duced until the April of the present year
but the agitation has been continuous ard
has riveted International public attention
on the question in a most remarkable de-
gree.

China's New Peril.

from the New York Mail.
With food. famine, revolution and
financial problems almost Impossible
of solution. poor old China is certainl,
having her full share of trouble and
perhaps a little more. The task OF trans
forming the ancient empire into mod
ern republic with stable government
is one Of the most stupendous under
takings of the age.
In addition to the burdens already men
toned. China is menaced by a new peril.
TO wit. the American cigarette. The man
ufacturers Of that malodorous abomi-
nation in this country are trying to in
troduce il into general use among the
Chinese people. With that object in view,
they have representatives travelling
through China and distributing hundreds
of thousands Of free sample packages
of cigarettes. and their goods are already
on sale in nearly every city and town in
the country.
1t is too bad that just as China IS
struggling bravely to break herself of
the opium habit she should be tempted
to take up another though less powerful
narcotic Poor Old China!

THE BELLS OF HARVARD.
A Succession of Nine Whose History
Covers a Period of 800 Years.

From the New York Sun.
Harvard has had an interesting success

college building had one Is shown by an
extract from book published in i643, de-

cost of bell and clock, proper for the
College. Both clock and bell were
bought and the steward got 81 year

described by an English traveller some
years later as "a very good bell

tial exchange for the new one, they
probably being the lately split" one
from Harvard Hall and the small one
from the clock on Massachusetts Hall.
Apparently vandalism by students is no
merely modern affair, for it seems to have
been the cause Of SO much damage to this
fifth bell that in 1877 the college authori-
ties had to appoint a committee ito con-
slider the most effectual method of secur-

the same date the president was request
ed to buy a new bell on as good terms
as possible. This sixth bell was cast in
1908 by Paul Revere at his foundry in
Canton and weighed asa pounds.
This one became cracked in 1886 and
was replaced the same year by the sew
enth bell. which was cast by George II.
Holbrook Of East Midway. Mass. and
most living Harvard graduates, had
long and honorable career, but it. too,
finally became cracked in 1s99 owing to
the fact that it had not been properly
hung. At that time il had been rung for
forty-two years by one man, the veteran
janitor. Mr.. Jones. When it became
cracked he kept it few years as a relic,
but in 1894 he gave 1t to the Harvard
Memorial Society. which had it broken
up. part of the bfonze being used for
tablets placed on Hollis and Holworthy
halls. A small model Of the old bell,
made from it's metal. was presented to
Mr. Jones.
The eighth bell is the one now hanging
& Co., West Troy. n. Y, and weighs $50
pounds. 1t was first rung January I. 1900.
The ninth bell Is the fine-toned one in
Memorial Hall tower. 1t Is ten times the
size Of the early bells of the college. for
1t weighs $3.50 pounds. 1t was cast by
Van Dusen &Sco. Of Cincinnati, and was
installed after commencement, 1897 the
