Relics Of Antiouitv.

Two fine specimens of what are un-
doubtedly relics of pagan Ireland are
to be found in the Great Island within
the boundary of what was at one time
the Rath of Kilmokea. The relics al
luded to are two basin stones or "bul-
letns,". or "booleins," as they are vari-
ously called. They are large stones
undressed with hollow or basin like
cavity cut out of one face of the
stone. One, a very large one, is to
he found on the farm Of Mr.. David
Kent at Kilmokea, and the other on
the Glebe farm. Both are just out
side the foundation Of the earthworks
of the Great Rath. This rath must
have enclosed at least IL acres when
in it's perfect state, and must have
dated we'll back before the dawn of
Christianity. The use of these stones
has long been a subject fdiscussion
amongst the rchaeologists, the gen.
eral opinion being that they We're used
for bruising or grinding corn, for the
purpose of making bread. Some men
of learning associate them with sacri-
fetal worship (DruidicaD and call
them bookstores. However, it is
doubtful if the Druids ever offered
bloody sacrifice in Ireland.

The Well. Bred Girl.

The girl who is well-bred never finds
it necessary to announce the fact to
the world. Good breeding is as nat
ural to her as breathing, and as nec-
essary, too.
The well-bred girl seldom apollo
gizes-it is not necessary for her to
do so, because she is always careful
of other peoples feelings, and she new
er talks of her private affairs.
The wel-bred girl never makes her
self conspicuous in public places. and
does not permit herself to be drawn
into any arguments in conversation
which might involve others.
She is gracious and hospitable, CIV
ing of what she has with good will,
and never attempts to entertain in a
way she cannot afford. Indeed, she
is just simple. wholesome girl, care
full of other peoples feelings AMI al
ways has a ready fund Of sympathy
for those in trouble.

Despite English callosity there remains
in Irish hearts the same old poetic
longing to behold 1nnisfail once more
on the world map as nation, FORE
most in intelligence and in the cul-
tured civilization begotten solely Of
Catholic Christianity.
Tho Irish Nation.
Recently, in a fiery Home Rule
speech, Asquith referred to the risk
run in refusing the constitution re-
claimed by a mighty and menacing
majority of the nation.
What nation?" shouted bigoted
British member in defiance Of etl-
quette. What nation?" rejoined the
Prime Minister, Indignantly, why,
the Irish ration, OF course!"
A furious outbreak of continuous
applause from the Irish deputies prov
ed the force of Asquith's simple but
convincing words and did much to
awaken a sympathy for Irish national
aspirations. May God send the days
dawning soon that will be the sun
burst of Irish independence.

The First oranseman.

The furious religious controversies
In England, which led to the conspir-
acy Of the anti-Cathoic party to de-
throne James II, form a black chap
ter in the history of persecution.
King James daughter, Mary, was
married to William, the German
Prince of Orange. The acts of James
in favoring the Catholics and pro-
claiming religious liberty made furi-
GUS the anti-Catholic leaders, who
determined to dethrone him. They
sent deputies over to William invit-
ing him over with his army and
promising him their support against
his father r-in-law.
The Prince at length, after many
disappointments., landed at Torbay on
November S. 1888 with only seven
hundred men; and, but few persons
Joining his standard. he made prep
arations to return. He seemed dis
heartened for want of success and
continued for .a.wsek toremain close
to his ships, for the purpose of re-
turning, threatening at the same time
to publish the names Of all those who
had invited him over. as reward for
their treachery and cowardice.
BY degrees accessions came drop
ping in. Lord Colchester deserted
from King James army with few
men under his command, and Cornby
was the next, and so, after the ex-
amples of only two or three OF this
sort, hundreds and then thousands
focked to his standard. Meanwhile
his main army from Holland, which,
amounted to fourteen thousand men,
had arrived. He then marched with
all his forces towards London. The
King met him with thirty thousand
men at Salisbury: but, instead of
lighting, his principal officers Joined
the invaders. The King now fled to
London. from whence he subsequent
ly retired to France
James was betrayed by his secre-
tary, the Duke Of Sunderland, who
the better to effect his treacherv. af-
fected to become a Catholic, but gave
the Kings secrets to the Protestant
confederation all the time. Louis
XIV offered to send James thirt,
thousand men; but this Sunderland
strongly opposed on the ground that
1t would shake the loyalty and conf.
dence of the English people in the
King. William entered London in the

Small Hitch in Program.
The progress of the measure was
interrupted few hours on Wednes-
day Of this week by the rather sud-
den change of front by the ministry
with regard to the Irish senate, Pre-
mier Asquith substituting proportion
al representation for the mere NOM
ination after the first five years of
Home Rule.
Bonar Law insisted that he had not
had sufficient notice and demanded an
adjournment, which Asquith was OBJ
liged by parliamentary rules to con-
cede.
But when, on Thursday night, Bon
ar Law had thundered against this
concession as worthless and the whole
of the. Tory party had repeated these
denunciations, they refused to chal-
lenge a division and amid the mock
Ing laughter of all the lone Rulers
the change was made with universal
assent.
oransemen Cease Fight.
All of these events indicate that the
irreconcllable hostility to Home Rule,
which the Orangemen proclaimed with
such loud beating of Orange drums,
Is breaking down and that the Home
Rule measure, instead of losing
ground and being battered by the de-
bate, is making its way steadily and
triumphantly and that the bill will
leave the committee stage, which is
the most dangerous in the House of
Commons, practically unchanged.
Next week two sharp corners are
to be turned. The first will come
When Philip Snowden, the English
Socialist, proposes female suffrage for
the Irish parliament, but practically
all the Home Rules, including even
the female suffragists, agree that this
domestic question should be left to
the Irish parliament
Customs Rule Gives Problem.
The second corner will come with
the proposal to give Ireland some con-
troll over the customs. This proposal
excltes some misgivings among the
free traders, and also among some OF
the Scotch Federationists, who think
that this clause puts difficulties in the
way OF Scotch Home Rule later on.
But. though group of twenty
members canvassed these views. there
is no danger Of any split and the pro-
posals of the bill, when explained and
debated. will rally practically every
Liberal member.
Everything is going splendidly and
