battle phalanx. and it is probable that
the original ford was formed of wick
erwork or crossed poles of wood. The
ford was then called Ath Cliath,
wicker ford" or "hurdle ford" The
town, which grew up at the southern
end of the ford was called Bale Atha
Cliath-that is, 'the town of Wicker
ford" or more properly, perhaps,
"Wickerford Town"
The English name Dublin (Welsh,
Dulyn) represents an Irish Duibhlinn
lit, "Black Pool" This pool must
have been situated somewhere near
the site of the original settlement,
with probably a landing place. The
name spread from the original pool"
to the town near by. In Irish manu-
scripts the town is sometimes called
Ath Cliath Duibhlinne, to distinguish
it from Ath Cliath Meadhraighe, near
Kinvara, County Galway. When Ire
land was divided into two parts the
boundary line between them was Fir.
cir Riada, a line of sandhills running
from Ath Cliath Duibhlinne to Ath
Cliath Meadhraighe, in Galway.
The great Egyptian geographer, Ptol
envy, whose work was standard text

"Eblana." The means by which he
was enabled to apply the last-mention

The only Irish name which can com
pare with Eblana is Sliabh Eblinne, II

Eiblenn, however, the lady from whom
the name of the mountain is derived
is connected with the Brigh ma Boinne
adjoining the district of Ptolemy's

sAcRlLEclous PARODY pIsrRle.
UTED IN FRANCE.

The blasphemous dedication in
France of General Joffre has aroused
the resentment of De Naasbode. q
leading journal of Rotterdam, Hol-
land. It reports that postal cards are
appearing in France with the Joffrs
Pater Noster and the Joffre Credo,
Joffre's name being substituted for
that of God in the "Our Father" and
the Apostles Greed.
On one of such postal cards, De
Maasbode says, General Joffre is seen.
with raised arm in which he holds
the German eagle, whose head he has
severed.
The text bears the caption, 1.-THE
Our Father of the Soldiers" and is
as follows:
Our Joffre, who art on the battle
front, thy victory come, thy victory
come upon earth so in the air; give
the enemy this day their daily blow,
give us again the offensive, as you
gave it to them who the first time van
pushed the enemy; and lead us not
into defeat, but deliver us from the
barbarians. Amen!"
If we had not seen this Infamous
composition with our own eyes, De
Maasbode writes, we would not have
believed the story, but the height of
blasphemy is reached in the Credo:
81 believe in Joffre, the father al
mighty supreme commander of the
celestial and terrestrial hosts. l be-
lieve in a holy triumphant Republic,
his only idol. the mother of us all, con-
ceived in the Revolution, born out of
the execution of king, and which
suffered in 1870 by the amputation of
Alsace-Lorraine, which has lain buried
for 40 years, ETC."
These blasphemous screeds hardly
bear out the reports that all France
has returned to God and is on it's
knees. While the soldiers on the bat
tie front have experienced change of
heart, it seems that some of the civil
ian population have not been similarly
affected.

Iowa.
The action of the Cunard Steamship
Co. in refusing passage to nine hun
dred Irishmen who wished to come to
America has been received in America
in various ways. In some circles the
Cunard Co. has been upheld, in others
it has been condemned, while else
where it has been ridiculed for having
allowed itself to be made the tool of
what is conceived to be a very clever
ly executed scheme for publishing to
the world at large the detection of
Ireland from the British cause.
Since the beginning of the war
Great Britain has made much of the
support that has been offered it by it's
colonies. Every contingent of troops,
from wherever sent, has been pub
licly applauded and word of its loyalty
to the mother country published
broadcast But the fact nevertheless
remains that Britain's colonies, for all
that they have sent troops to the war,
have not responded in this manner to
any greater extent than in some of
Britain's minoP A9naicts, while the re-
Spouse, when f1le seriousness of the
situation is borne in mind, has not
been at all in proportion to the in
creased need. This is borne out by
the publicly known fact that England
has not contributed to the war tenth
of the troops which Russia and France
have put in the field.
Ireland has always been a rich re-
cruiting ground for England. The
Irish have been looked upon as the
Empires fighting race and the En-
pire has come to depend upon them
instead of on natives of England in
time of need.
But in this war it has been different.
The perfidy of the government in the
matter of the Home Rule bill, when
the struggle for Irish independence
was at white heat, still ranked when
the war broke out and Irishmen were
too acutely aware of the Indifference
of the Empire to their rights. The re-
suit has been shown in the recruiting
returns, which. despite all efforts to
make them appear normally large,
have actually been pitifully small.
British censorship has carefully de-
leted from the dispatches any word Of
Ireland's detection, but the news has
seeped through, as news will do, and
apparently irrelevant instances, like
this Cunard affair, have been joined
together in way to make convincing
proof of conditions as they exist there.
The refusal of the Cunard Co. to
transport these men in all probability
was expected, together with the pub
licity that would follow, else why did
they offer themselves in a body Of nine
hundred, instead of in small groups
which would be received without sus-
picion?

WHY CANCELLED STAMPS ARE
COLLECTED.

Over in Europe nowadays cancelled
stamps are everywhere collected for
charitable purposes, especially in be-
half of the foreign missions. Many
ask what is really done with these
stamps. The missions, of course, could
profit very little, if at all, by receiv-
ing the stamps themselves; they must
be first converted into money at home.
There is a society whose exclusive
aim is to help support the missions
off in Africa in every way possible.
This society is known as the Sodality
of st. Peter Claver and among it's
other activities is that of collecting
cancelled stamps and using the pro-
ceeds from the sale of them for the
African missions.
To what use, it will be asked, can
these stamps be put and who buys
them?
The story of how the Chinese
decorate their rooms with them is
largely fable. But it is true that
little art curios are frequently made
of them, mosaic-like pictures, maps,
wall paper, table tops, and other
fancy articles which are so much ad-
mired when exhibited at European
bazaars.
Generally, however, cancelled
stamps are bought for stamp collec-
tions, especially the rarer kinds, like
those issued long ago or present-day
stamps of less frequent occurrence.
They are sold both by the piece and
the small lot. The Sodality of St.
Peter Claver, for instance, gets for
an assortment of 500 different
European stamps s1.2O; for 100 as
sorted Austrian stamps SO cents; for
80 Russian stamps rs cents; for so
Swiss stamps 95 cents, and so on for
the other countries.
Stamps of the ordinary denomina-
lions are bought by the pound, some
times by stamp collectors for resale
and sometimes by private individuals
as curios. The Sodality of st. Peter
Claver in Europe is already realizing
several thousand dollars year from
the sale of stamps, although the en-
terprise is of comparatively recent
date with it. America alone could do
as much again if this work is only
taken up Systematically and consist
ently-think of the number of souls
that every extra thousand dollars will
|"be instrumental in bringing to
heaven!
Be diligent, then, in gathering these
little nothings. If they are assorted
before mailing, they will be doubly
welcome. 1t would be better to keep
the ordinary 1, 2 and cent cancelled
stamps (they sell for fifteen cents
pound and they should be so cut from
the paper as to leave a narrow rim
around their edges) until enough are
accumulated to send by freight. But
odd denominations like 3, 4, 6, z, 8, 9,
10, IL, 10, Is, 20, so, 81 are best
sent by parcel post. They should
be addressed to the American Head
quarters of the Sodality of st. Peter
Claver, Fullerton Building, st. Louis.
