IRELAND is unique in its every

ally Irish that they are not names
alone, as are the great of other lands,
but are as familiar to all her children
of all ages. Ireland, perhaps more
than any other country, has preserved
to the present day the evidence of her
rich and varied past in archaeological
treasures many and unique.
The Irish love their legendary he

Braid, in County Antrim, that the
heart of the captive boy experienced
its great spiritual change, which, from
events following, may be considered to
have altered the entire history of Ire
land, and even to have transformed
the face Of Christendom.
Similarly, ancient Tara, the old
abode of kings, situated about twenty
five miles from Dublin in County
Meath. is closely identified with St.
Patrick's name. There he went first
on his mission of conversion.
st. Patrick must have known init
mately the beautiful lakes of Killar-
ney in County Kerry, for in this neigh
borhood he sojourned seven years. On
an island in the lakes, then known in
the Irish language by the name Lough
Lene (the Lake of Learning), he es
tablished church which in the sew
enth century grew into Innisfallen alb

Where the experts" Come ~

1t is mere political evasion to say
that the country should wait for a
tariff commission to study tn dye
stuffs problem and the need for pro-
lection in other industries. Even the
Democratic party did not wait for a
tariff commission to decide that free
trade in sugar would annihilate the
sugar industry of America. Nor is a
tariff commission needed to ascertain
that the present law is not producing
sufficient revenue for the government.
No scientific" knowledge is neces-
sary in revising most Of the sched-
ules All that is needed is little
business sense. When the treasury
is replenished, when protection has
been restored and American indus
tries are no longer in danger. it will
be time enough to let the experts
get to work on their analysis Of sta
tistics.

JAPANESE BOY BLACKSMITHS
Busiest and Hardest Workers in World
Have No Thought Of Play While
Work ls Before Them.

In Japan boys are apprenticed to
learn q trade much younger than boys
In our country are. H. Croy' writes in
Northwestern Christian Advocate.
Thousands are put in shops to learn
TO be blacksmiths when an American
boy would still be in school. A Japa.
nese father has so many boys that he
has to put them out at some useful
trade in order that they may bring
IN money to support the family. The
boys have to work long hours; from
seven In the morning until six in the
evening
They are faithful workers. the
busiest you could find anywhere in
the world. Even when visitor comes
and stands in the door to watch one
of them work he will not look up from
his work. He has no thought of play
as long as he is at work; but when
his hours are over no boy likes to get
out and have little fun more than he.
Japanese blacksmith shops open on
to the street, so that the boy at his
anvil sits within 7ew feet of the side
walk. Tho shops are closed at night
by putting boards in the front and
barring them well. There are no doors
with hinges. The hinge is unknown
In Japan; what doors there are are
made to slide back and forth.
There are many more blacksmith
shops in Japan than in our country;
there is one every few doors. and in
walking along the street you may heal
the clang-clang of hammers.
The boy wears a black apron with
pockets; this he takes off when ready
to start home in the evening. He
wears wooden shoes-1at boards witt
straps over them to keep the shoes
from falling Off His stockings are

compartment for the big toe Al
American boy would have a hare
time in keeping a pair of Japanes'
shoes on, yet a Japanese boy can pu
up a mighty good footrsce with moth
ing to hold his wooden shoes on ex
cept his big toe.

ney's cottage, soon after one enters
Dunlow's gap, there is a place which
in local tradition is the scene OF an i'm
portant incident in st. Patrick's life.
For this is said to be the spot where
he commanded the snakes to leave
Ireland
This distinction is claimed, however,
by many other Irish places. On the
western coast, for instance, there is a
mountain called Groagh Patrick.
where he is said to have gathered to-
gether the serpents and to have driven
them into the western ocean by beat
ing drum. This is but one of the
many legends which still linger in the

herself on the fact that where she

Tabby ate her supper in silence and
knew that the cook spoke the truth
but she hunted mice and slept In the
corner as though nothing had hap

Displays of spring dress goods in
the shops are enriched by many beau
tifu1 and novel cotton fabrics that are
q revelation in the art of weaving cot
ton. They include canvas cloths and
basket weaves that promise something
OF a revolution in apparel for warm
weather. There are the smart avn
ing stripes in white with all colors
and white with black, in which color
ings and the arrangement of stripes
are both new. They are to be used
for separate skirts to be worn with
coats of plain color. Basket weaves
are most attractive in black and white,
but are shown in many designs adapt
ed to skirts and suits. Cottons, in
fact, are usurping the place Of wool
ems and silks by the force of the
beauty and practicability of the new
weaves.
Some of the familiar cotton mate
rials, like cretonne, in light weights are
woven with reference to their use in
dresses and suits. In suits, plain
! coarse linens or cottons are used with
them, made into coats finished with
collars, cuffs. belts, pockets and Other

No Tariff Delay.

Advocates of a tariff commission
have helped their cause considerably
by stating that there is nothing in
their plan which would prevent imme-
diate changes in schedules where the
Industries concerned have all the facts
at their fingers ends.
Such statement, coming now from
small percentage of those who are
advocating a tariff commission, indi-
Gates that not all of those who are ad-
vocating a scientific revision" are
willing to wait until certain indus
tries are destroyed before adopting
obvious measures of relief.

stance, to wait for a tariff commission
to complete an investigation two OF
