CERTAIN COURSES FOR AMERi. GAN VESSELS TO AVOID GET
 TING INTO MINE FIELDS.

ington.-American shipmasters vised to take the northerly course, in Information to the State Department from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, although he says that the German ad- mlraity declines to take responsibility regarding courses steered outside of German waters. The ambassador transmitted a report from the Ameri can consul at Bremen, who said that the course had been recommended by the Bremen Board of Trade. The northern course is described as fol- lows:
 For ships up to 1000 net tons, track of steamers of low power bound inward from the Ambrose channel lightship, true east until 30 degrees west and then to point well off the coast of Ireland to the north of the Shetland Islands in view of the Nor wegian coast bound for the Lister Deep pilot station.
 Ships outward bound from the " eolel ilfeI III citdiSe Oi plloI eo Lister Deep, should take course well off the coast and then to a point 30 to 40 miles off the Norwegian coast and free of the Shetland Islands From there, the course should be we'll off the coasts of England and Ireland to the western islands, and from there a true west coarse taken to point where Nantucket Lightship bears northwest true"
 The consul at Bremen adds that the captain of the steamer Navajo, now at Bremen, followed this course from New York, passing the Fair Islands and south of the Shetland Islands. and recommends the course highly.

Before the Days of Horseshoes.

Readers of Homer and early classic authors who speak so frequently of the horse and the part he played, par ticularly in war, often wonder how he was shod. It certainly was not with metal. Homer's "bronZe-hooved" horses must have received that spe- cial designation because of the. color of the hoof so often resembling bronze The hoofs of horses in ancient times were frequently wrapped with cloth The Romans, it is said, used various methods to harden the hocfs of their horses that they might the better stand long marches. So far as we know Nero, the Roman emperor, was the first to have his horses shod. The shoes were of silver and were clamped to the foot. Nails driven into the horn of the foot appear to have been in use in the time of William the Conqueror in the eleventh century.-Our Dumb Animals

Cashel in William Bulfn's admirable "Rambles in Eirinn' The author glimpses it in the distance from the vantage rock on which Cromwell stood:
 Far away to the northeastward a great gray mass caught the sunlight, and looking more intently 1 could make out the roofs and walls of a town It was ancient Cashel The gray mass which had caught my eye was the famous rock crowned with King Cormac's chapel. The rock of Cashel is name known to Irish people all the world over It's great est day was when it was the seat of the Munster kings, especially during the reign of the illustrious and munifi- cent Cormac.
 And If the court of the prelate king was splendid and brilliant, the king dom over which Cormac held sway was worthy of such a capital and such a monarch. It was rich and fertile and beautiful beyond all power of ex- pression. It teemed with plenty-its. resources were inexhaustible. From one blue mountain range to another 1t was a garden and cornfeld and a school all in one. There must have been a great happiness all over the Golden Vale then, for the chroniclers tell us that the kingdom was filled with divine grace and worldly prosper ity. =. The cattle needed no coWherd and the flocks no shepherd so long az he was king"
 Where the Devil Took a Bite.
 The Rock of Cashel, whereon Cor mac built his chapel, Is one of the most startling freaks of nature to be seen in all Ireland. Three hundred feet of sheer rock jut out of an i'm mense smooth plain. Generations of irishmen, from away back before Cor ! macs time, have wondered how it came there. And in their poetic fash ion they have explained the natural phenomenon by means of curious legend. If you stand on the rock you can see off in the distance the Devils Bit mountains.
 The highest of them has strange appearance of having been bitten off at the summit The ragged edges seem to have been made by monstrous teeth. So they cali them the Devils Bit mountains For, according to the legend. the old tempter of mankind was once chasing an enemy around the County Tipperary. The fiend was both angry and hungry, and he stonped A moment tO take hupo bite out of the hills to the north of Cashel But the runaway gained on him when he paused for his bit of SUD- per, and the fiend in his anger spat the mouthful of rock after him. And there it lies to this day to prove the truth of the chronicle.
 St. Patrick, of course, was before King Cormacs day. The patron saint of Erin was a great figure in Tip perary But even before St. Patricks coming Cashel was military strong hold and the seat of kings. It is re- lated that two swineherds dreamed they saw an angel blessing the rock They told their dream to the king of Munster, who built fort there early 1 in the fifth century.
 It was in this same century that Patrick came to convert Ireland It was on the Rock of Cashel that St. Patrick preached to King Agus and grass at his feet the little shamrock that ever since has symbolized the l blessed Trinity.

mouths, it is worth while know
 ing something of that bit of Ireland. In the New York Sun Law renee Flick writes thus about it:
 1t is related that Cromwell once stood on a hilltop in Erin and sur veyed the smiling expanse of fertile plain that unfolded before his eyes. This is land worth fighting for!" he exclaimed. He was gazing at the Golden Vale-the heart of Tipperary.
 Tipperary today is a region as beau tiful as its people are hospitable and kindly; a peaceful region quietly pros porous; people proud of their history and their relics of the golden age of Cashel of the Kings
 A word about the Tipperary of to- day. There is Tipperary the county and Tipperary the garrison town. Tip perary town is described as a slow" sort of a place, which never recovered from the kick up" in the Irish party after Parnell's death. Tipperary eoun- ty Is in the Irish province of Munster and Is the sixth largest county in Ire land, having more than a million acres of peat bog, meadow, field and mountain.
 Varied and Picturesque.
 It is varied and picturesque land. Most of it is great plain On it's southern border are the Knockmeai- down mountains, and north of them the wild Galtees. The Suir is Tip ri taly rise in the Devils Bit and flows south ward and eastward by the historic towns of Templemore, Thurles, Cashel and Clonmel. The River Shannon, the poets own river, washes. the bor- der of the county.
 Tipperary of this modern day is one of the best agricultural districts in Ireland. From Cashel to Limerick, right in the midst of Tipperary, stretches the Golden Vale, the most fertile valley in all Erin. Tipperary is given mostly to agriculture and dairying. There are some ancient lead mines. whose ores hold a trace of silver but they engage only small port of the populace. Large meal and flour mills ere scattered over the country, and the town of Tipperary comes second only to the city of Cork as butter market
 The town of Tipperary is ancient King John built castle there as far back as the thirteenth century, and one of the landmarks of the place is an old gatehouse which belonged to an Augustinian monastery founded by Henry III.
 "Tip-rar-ry," as the townspeople call it, hasn't large population-6,0 ,000 ac- cording to the last available census figures. And one reason for this, they say, is that the lads and lasses of Tip perary these many years have been turning their faces toward the United States. There are hundreds of thous- ands of Irishmen-millions of them perhaps, would come nearer the true mark-in this country who remember well the original cause of this exodus It was one of the results of the great boycott on landlords 2S years ago.
 Cashel of the Kings.
 It is not Tipperary the town, how ever, that most endears Tipperary the county to lrishmen everywhere. It is Cashel of the Kings and it's resplen- dent memories of glory that will never die.
