IRELAND's FAITH.

II has braved the storms of ages,
Withstood the test OF time,
And it gems our history's pages,
Still hallowed and sublime.
IL has beamed across the ocean,
1t has frightened many strand
With its heartfelt, deep devotion,
The faith OF our dear land.
For over fourteen hundred years
Did not its luster dim,
Christ's faith, despite the pagan
sneers,
Shines strongly still through Him,
Though pirates came from lands afar
To waste with flaming brand,
They failed to chain to slavery's car
The faith OF our dear land.
Through all the dark vicissitudes
or Erin's stormy days,
How oft the atheist intrudes
To quench our faiths bright rays
In vain, in vain. st. Patrick's faith,
Though oft times basely banned,
CLOVIS changeless yet, 1t knows not
death,
The faith OF our dear land.
BY the Hindoo's sacred river,
And on Australians soil.
In our Kaffr krails 'mongst fever,
Our missionaries toll;
In every cline, from east TO west,
They teach sublimely grand,
The one true faith, with fondest
zeal,
The faith OF our dear land.
Bright holy faith OF Columkille,
The faith of pure st. Bride,
II shines transcendant with US still
In glory undefiled.
Black Cromwell failed. the Soupers
failed,
They murdered, starved and
planned,
But, oh, thank God. We never for
sock
The faith OF our dear land.
Shine on. OH peerless faith, shine on;
You are our beacon star.
You'll lead US when life's sands are
run
Triumphant DER the bar.
To anchor by ST. Patrick's side,
BY heavenly breezes famed;
Well done. he'll say, you ne'er de-
MED
The faith OF our dear land.

Three-Aeaded Elephant.

OF the many curlosities to be seen
in the wonderful temples of Mandalay
says the Wide World Magazine, few
arrest the attention of the travelling
westerner more than the three-headed
elephant in the Arakan pagoda, which
is regarded by the Burmese as one OF
the most sacred Of their many shrines
The principal object Of alteration in
this temple is seated image OF
Buddha 1914 feet high, and heavily
coated with goldIeaf. This goId-leai
is constantly being renewed with the
offerings of pioue devotees; you can
buy leaf for a rupee, follow the pill
grims who flock to the temple up the
steps leading behind the image, and
place the glittering lnorsel on Buddha s
back, thus. performing an act of great
merit in Burmese eyes. The three.
headed elephant is Buddha's guard,
and occupies the sanGbpary that leads
into the holy Of holies. This strange
statue Is made of bronze, and apart
from its freakish character is q clever
piece OF work.

SHAPE OF PEOPLES HEADS
Writer Makes Assertion That II Varies
With the Nation and its Loca-
tion on the Earth.

The study Of heads reveals some in.
teresting facts. One is that the left
side OF the head is almost always
larger than the right, due, it is said,
to the universal practise of using the
right hand more than the left. An.
other curious point is that nationality
considerably affects the shape of the
head. 1t would surely be an interest.
ing subject for a biologist to explain
why 1t is that the nearer the equator
race lives the rounder their heads
become.
No one needs reminding of the
round, bullet-shaped skull Of the negro,
but the halter will assure us that a
Frenchman's head is rounder than an
Englishmans and similarly an Eng.
lishman's rounder than Scotchman's.
The average Scots head tapers con.
siderably toward the front, narrows at
the temples and becomes square and
prominent at the forehead German
heads, on the average, are rounder
than English, and broader at the back.
Irish heads. in general. are long. like
the Scotch, but scarcely as narrow

.EMAND THEIR EGGS FRESH
Species Of South African Snake With
Dainty Appetite and Keen
Sense Of Smell.

The South African snake called the
eggeater has inherited from long gen.
srations of ancestors a sense of smell
so acute that 1t appears never to be
1t fault. Professor Iitzsimons, direc-
TOR Of the Fort Elizabeth museum,
gives in his book on The Snakes of
South Africa an interesting instance
Of the wisdom of these serpents.
Being short of fresh pigeons eggs
once, l went to my cabinet and took
the clean-blown shells of few doves
eggs. Beating up the contents of a
fowls fresh egg, syringed them into
the empty shells, and carefully pasted
tiny bits of tissue paper over the
holes. put these in the eggeaters'
cage. and watched, for l expected the
snakes to swallow them as they did
the other eggs. First one eggeater
advanced He touched each egg gent
ly in turn with the tip of his nose or
the point of his forked tongue, and
crawled away in disgust. Another and
yet another eagerly advanced, repeat
ed the performance, and straightway
retired. l began to get interested.
Leaving the eggs, returned in a few
hours time to find them still there.
For two whole weeks those eggs
remained in the cage untouched, al.
though l refrained from giving the
snakes any others. Then l procured
some fresh pigeons eggs and put
them into the cage. The snakes ap-
preached, touched them with their
noses or tongues. and instantly began
to swallow them. ] tried this expert
ment a second time with the same re-
suit. Frequently I have noticed that
the snakes would eat some of the
eggs that l gave them, and reject
others. On breaking the latter open,
I always found that they we're either
added or else had a partially devel.
oped young bird inside. l could never
induce an eggeater to swallow an egg
that was not perfectly fresh.
"The eggeater is an expert climber,
and his sense of smell is SO sharp
that he can discover birds nests with
the greatest facility. If you place an
empty birds nest in the cage of an
eggeater, he will take no notice of it,
except to use it occasionally for a
cozy bed. But If you put fresh eggs
in 1t, he at once detects their pres
ence, although they are hidden from
his sight. Youths Companion.

Two Of a Kind,

A well-known clubman in New Yorl
likes nothing better than to hunt bis
game In British Columbia. During
his last expedition to that region he
was in camp with friend from Min
nesota. Toward morning, says the
New Yorker, he awoke shivering with
cold. The fire was very low. His
companion was fast asleep.
It isn't nice to get out of a warn.
blanket to roll frosty logs to the fire
SO the willy New Yorker gave his
friend q kick and then pretended tc
be asleep. There was no response
and presently the man from New
York tried another kick.
At this the westerners broke into Q
laugh. Il did the same thing to you
20 minutes ago." he explained, land
that's how you came to be awake"
Then, of course. both turned out to
build a fire.
