learn that the Tipperary Of song and
story is Just now the scene Of a
notable effort to revive the Irish to-
bacco industry. Several years ago the
Irish Development Commissioners set
aside the sum Of $4,000 to be used
IN experiments in tobacco culture-an
activity hat had thrived in tho Island
long years g but was stifed by ad-
verse legislation. The experiments
have rover that Irish tobacco grow
ers a count Upon a profit Of SIS per
acre, and it is interesting to note that
one of the first successful tobacco
plantations has been established at
C~ordangan, in County Tipperary,
which is not 80 far distant, as the
crow flies. from the coast town Of
Youghal, where Sir Walter Raleigh,
when mayor Of that town in 1888, in
troduced from America tobacco and
hat other American emigrant. the
potato, which was to attain in Ireland,
a place OF honor it never enjoyed on
its native soil.
But it would be a g~revious mistake
to convey the idea that because so
much Of Tipperary is c~onspicuously
rural her towns and cities have naught
to offer the tourist, no matter whether
he be In quest Of historic monuments
or evidences of present-day progress.
Quite the contrary is true--so much so
that in Tipperary town we find, merg-
ing into one, an old town and a new
town, ~so-called, that offer contrasts In
architecture if in nothing else. Here,

The Population Slips Away.
After you have j~ourneyed by jaunt-
ing car seventy miles from north to
south through Tpperary or a
girthed the county along the forty
Kilkenny you will not need the old
man by the roadside to tell you that
the population, particularly the young
blood of both sexes is surely and
steadily slipping away to the land of
promise beyond the Atlantic. The
vacant cottages attest the desertion no
less than the silent expanses of green's
ward and finally the population statis-
tics detail the tragedy in cold figures.
In 1875 the county of Tlpperary had
$4,000 people. Ten years later the
number had fallen to 100, 900 and an
other ten years showed a drop to
10000 or one-seventh less than had
been there two decades before. Like
wise in this score of years did the
humble Of occupied houses in the
county drop from $4,000 to 8 1000. No
wonder there are many absentees who
might rightfully say that their hearts
are back in Tipperary.

prosperity to the fact that it is the

If you walk through the Golden
Vale on q summer day you may meet
rather fewer people han you would
xpect to encounter in a domain upon
which Dame Nature has smiled so in
diligently. And, perhaps, If you ask a
native for an explanation he nay re-
ply mournfully that: THE people are
all gone to America. There is no per-
son here any more but those of us
who are too old to CO." That is, of
course. somewhat of an exaggeration,
but there is more than a grain OF

early days must have suffered when
boiling oil was poured into those terri
BILE wounds. The warrior Of the Mid
die Ages was, however, mercifully
spared the chance of injury from
shrapnel-that high power explosive
which makes wounds OF an appalling
nature. Another barbarous remedy
was that used after amputation OF
arms and legs-that of boiling tar as
a dressing. This remedy was also
used for any injury which required
cauterizing. 1t vas not until the be-
ginning of the last century that the
evils of the remedies used were dis
covered, some of these discoveries be-
ing accidental.
one of the medical histories gives
an instance of this which occurred al
the Battle Of Pavia in 1898. when
Francis /. of France was defeated by
the Spaniards. A French barber sur
geon-for they were BARRIERS as well
as surgeons-was dressing his gun
shot patients with the usual boiling oil
treatment when the supply OF oil ran
out and he was compelled to dress the
remainder Of the mems wounds with
cold water. He apologized for this.

best. The next morning, to his great

~jectiles which wound scores at a time.
The wounded have run into the hun
dreds of thousands, and even the i'm
~provised hospitals have been taxed be-
yond their capacity. Each nation has
an excellent hospital corps. competent
surgeons and nurses, but these people
nave their limitations and some Of the
wounded must Of necessity not receive
the best treatment.
Supplies Early Exhausted.
Take for instance, in the ease OF the
hospitals at Bordeaux where forty
thousand wounded are being treated,
when the supply of gauze and splints
gave out and the nurses were COM
PEELED to use bandages made from old
clothing and all the rolling hoops be-
longing to the children were used as
splints. In some of the improvised
hospitals in Germany operating tables
were at q premium and operations had
to be performed while the patient was
propped on supply boxes. In Russia
the orphan girls at the Founding
Asylum had to be pressed into service
as war nurses. These girls were ac-
customed to caring for young children
alone, but they were quick to learn
the art Of dressing wounds and hand
ling the helpless men. Happy, indeed,
is IA disabled soldier who comes un.
der the care of one OF these young
Russians.
Throughout Austria and France
school houses have been pressed into
service and the space once occupied
by desks Is now filed with long rows
OF beds. The various German spas
were turned into hospital quarters
during the early stages of the war. At
Bad Nauheim all visitors were ordered
to leave at once, and before many of
them had finished packing the Ger.

Towns or County TipreraFy.
When one kinks of Tipperary there
comes to mind not merely the metrop-
oils OF the Golden Vale but h other
own of the county, each of which
has some claim to distinction. There
is Thurles, where a famous horse fair
is held once each month to which
come buyers from all parts OF Eng
land and the Continent. Their Is

the Knights Templar, and there Is
Caher, a delightful quaker town" on
the banks of the SUR. Carrick-on-
SUR Is a lively manufacturing town
and at Roscrea visitors TO County Tip
perary nay see one of the famous
Round Towers of Ireland.

however. everything else In Tipperary

else in Ireland-pales In comparison
to Cashel or ash of the Kings. as 1t
is usually designated, from the fact
that il was once the residence Of tho
kings Of Munster. Out OF q rich and
extensive plain rises with great bold
ness and abruptness to a height Of 500
feet the Rock of Cashel on top of
which is a great group OF the most
notable ruins to be found anywhere in
the world-chapels, tombS and fortif-
cations, many portions of which date
from the tenth century or earlier. Not
the least interesting circumstance in
connection with the ruins which r
round the remains of the noble cathe-
dral atop of the rock Of Cashel is that
retreat, which was once the educa-
tlonal center as well as the eccleAiast-
ical capital of Ireland.
After all, however, without under
estimating the importance of Ttppe-
rary's relics and monuments 1t must
be confessed that, for most present
day visitors the chief attraction
Of this portion of the sunny
side of Ireland" will be found in the
people themselves. Indeed. speaking
generally, it is the magnetism of the
natives-their wit and sentiment and
charming, instructive hospitality, that

heart than a sightseeing excursion In
any other part Of the world.

Wounded Take Chances.
1t must be remembered that the
main object of war Is not to rescue
wounded men but to fight and win
battles. The successful commander
who has just won a victory, acting
upon this principle, will need all his
men to pursue the enemy and cannot
look after the transportation or care
OF the wounded OF his own men, to
say nothing of those Of the enemy.
This is left in care of the surgeons
and hospital corps who press every
available vehicle into service to send
them back to the base hospital over
the line OF communication.
There are three stages for the
wounded man between where he falls
and the field hospital where he re-
mains if his case is not severe. II the
wound is serious he Is sent to the base
hospital az soon as he is strong
enough to be transported. The hos
pitad corps men are supposed to give
first aid and either carry the man on
their backs or on a stretcher TO the

from the firing line. The wounded

American interests In Tipperary.
A large number of people in the
United States have reason TO feel an
especial Interest in the town of Tip
perary because they contributed
money to build what Is known as the
new town" 1t was during the exciting
days OF the land war" in 1887. when
landlords, who were treating their
tenants with especial injustice, were
~boycotted. Tipperary was the scene
Of a particularly lively controversy.
and when many tenants were evicted,
because they could not or would not
pay rent. u movement was started In
America to raise funds for the CON
struction Of a new town" where the
evicted tenants might enjoy comfort
able living quarters at a reasonable
rent. About ~s250,OOO was raised and
several blocks of model houses were
constructed. 1t was soon after this
that the heavy exodus from Tipperary
to America began in earnest. There
had always been a steady stream Of
young men and women turning west
ward from Tipperary as from almost
every other town in the south OF Ire
land. but after the and war it ap-
peared as though literally everybody
who could get away set out for the
land OF liberty. The effect Of his
wholesale removal to America M in
fact. that it Is now a tradition that the
rising generation shall follow this ex-
ample, is very manifest in Tipperary
today. So much so that a local trades
man, somewhat d~isgruntled over the
falling off in his business recently, de-
clared that "Tipperary is the deadest
town in all Ireland"
