POOR IRELAND.
and injury.

Following so closely on the heels of the capture of Sir Roger Easement and the German ship bearing weapons for use in Ireland, it might be req sonably supposed that the insurrcc- tionist riots in Dublin are but part of defy the. Governm Because of the rigid censorship esta blished by England the news of the Easement adventure was not given out until three days after it came to grief This was in itself unfortunate for those who might have hoped for concerted action. Even now, little is known of what takes places in Ireland, althouyh the British censorship has not suc- ceeded in keeping from the world all the news it hoped to suppress. With the flash that proclaims the establish ment of marital law throughout the entire area of Ireland the minds eye can picture some of the scenes. It is readily recognized that the plans for this latest rebellion in Ireland, it has all the ear-marks of such, have been long in the making and were carefully worked out. Just what the consequences will be now that the thing has gone amiss no one knows, there is no means of knowing. The one hope of those fairminded people in all parts of the world is that no dread full catastrophe befalls the folk in Ire land who have waited and longed for independence these many years, but who, when the prize seemed to be
 within their grasp, have been always
 the victims of unfortunate circum-
 stances. It has been the history of the case that everyone of these upris- ings but threw Ireland's chances back into the dark valley of hopeless ness. That is the sad part of it all The course of politics is a long drawn l out, sometimes tedious way; but in
 the long run it seems to get more ] than violence.

The PoIychromatous Physician.
From the

(FrOm the Medical ReVleW.)
 We all know, of course, from dab blings in psychology that colors have an effect on our moods. A saffron tic makes us languorous, while purple one inspires us to noble deeds Green produces a state of tranquility, while blue depresses us. And so on. But now the chromatic scheme of thing" entire has invaded the operating room, that hitherto domain of the strictly practical. Last September Dr Berkeley Moynihan wrote to 'Ths Lancet" stating that for two and half years he had been using greer sheets and towels instead of white ones in the room. as they were more restful to the eye; he had also paint ed his walls green and covered the floor with green material. This sug- gestion was copied by some American
 journals. In the next number of "The Lancet" Dr. Mulligan expresses him.
 self as being in favor of such
 scheme, but Dr. Whiteford is much
 more enthusiastic. His operating
 room he has done tastefully in light
 French blue, the surgeons are dressed ir white, the nurses blue, and the on- lockers red. Tn the next issue Dr. Jean states that he is doing his op- erating rooms in blue this year. And so the chromatic chirurgeons con- 1 tribute their impressionistic ideas of operating rooms. Tn time let us hopo we will have the perfect polychroma- tous physician; he will bewilder us with some such display as this: The anaesthetic room will be in rainbow colors, signifying hope; the operating
 room will be in red, meaning danger, the new assistant will be green, the patients relatives will look blue, and the future will appear black. Ser1- ously, however, 1t is time that some such restful shade to the eyes as light green should supplant the glarlng white of many hospitals the dazzling onerating room, the cheerless corri- dors. and the monotonous patients rooms.

 "One of the sights of Parral is the palace of a multi millionaire mine owner, once a humble peon. In this house, which is shut in by adobe hutS and narrow streets, there are big drawing rooms and museums With luxurious carpets, over which the owners fighting cocks are allowed to roam at will, it is said. Twenty pianos are among the most highly prized pos sessions of this simple, public-spirited native the source of whose wealth Is La Palmilla (little palf) silver mine, which he discovered many years ago.
 "Parral was not always the chief city of this mining district. In 1880 the nearby town of Santa Barbara was the seat of government for a vast re- zion equal to one-third the area Of the United States today, exclusive Of Alaska.

It might happen that during the course of events President Wilson, by judicial handling of men and meas ures, if good fortune attends him, shall guide the ship of state through the narrow straights of adversity and emerge on the other side safe and sound. It might be that after all the fuss and fury of the past two weeks, or months, or years, President Wilson will see to 1t that the peace of the nation is preserved with honor, that there shall be no diplomatic rupture, no trouble with any nation over the ing all the patience ever given to one man to possess, President Wilson might see fit to make all offenders against the United States of America come to terms, and do this amicably, without the shedding of blood or the ruination of the country. It might be that President Wilson's policy, which has been branded as weak and vacil- 1ating," is the only sort of policy to pursue in a time like this when hot headedness means destruction, and display of temper is unbecoming great neutral nation; it might be that his is the policy which will bring things out all right in the end. And if all these things are true and it is President Wilson's good luck, we will call it that to keep the nation out of the war, will his enemies band themselves together and brand him as a coward and a weak ling, a jelly-fsh, for having done so noble a thing? There is evidence that these things might come to pass, that he will be scathingly arraigned for not plunging the country headlong into Naturally it will be the political enemies of President Wilson who will resort to such tactics for that is the way of politics, and, if they should stand up and abuse the President we will cheerfully recall to mind the fact that on the pages of the Congressional Record of last Tuesday there is print ed this opinion as delivered by that famous statesman and orator, James R. Mann minority leader, whose home is "somewhere in Illinois, :-'I am op- posed even to breaking off diplomatic relations with any of the countries at war in Europe. I think we ought to remain at peace, to stand even insult and injury"

Washington, D. C., April 27.-Par- ral, Mexico, which recently was the scene of tragic happenings in connec- ton with the arrival there of General Pershings punitive eXpeditionary force, is in the heart of the fabulously rich gold and silver mines district of the southern republic, mines which were among the first discovered by the Spanish conquerors and which be- gan pouring their streams of wealth into the coffers of the monarchs of Aragon and Castillo as early as 1547. This town, which has population of less than 20,000, has been the center of Francisco Villas operations for several years. It's historical and com mercial importance are sect forth concisely in a bulletin issued today by the National Geographic society, whose headquarters is in Washington, which says
 "Situated on the banks of the semi
 dry Parral river, at the foot of the Sierra de la Cruz, Parrars whole his tory centers below ground, in the mar velouslv rich Veta Colorado Cred vein) which runs from north to south through Parral mining district, in cluding Minas Nuevas and Santa Bar bara.
 "As early as 1900, before the first permanent English settlement in the United States, there were 1000 min
 CTS employed in this district, bringing from the depths of the earth the yellow metal destined to sustain in splendor. for time, the Opulent court of the then most powerful monarchy in Europe. From that day up to the present Parral has continued to en- rich the world from it's seemingly in exhaustible store of silver and gold, the only interruption having been
 caused by a rebellion of the oppressed natives who on one occasion flooded all the mines of the district and then deserted the city by thousands.
 '"Thc richness of the ore in this sec tion is shown by the fact that Ameri- can mining companies find it profit able today to smelt the tailings or refuse of the old Spanish works. r ''One of the most interesting incl dents in the early history of Parral centers about time-stained church known as La Iglesia de la Virgen del Rayo. the favorite place of worship among the Indians of the district.

Hold Fast Your Dreams.

Hold fast your dreams! Pain waits for you, And care and fear are near They are very near! There is death, too- Death comes to every dream and
 death Will come to you. Within your heart Keep one still, secret spot Where dreams may go, And, sheltered so, May thrive and grow Where doubt and fear are not. Oh, keep a place apart Within your heart For dreams to go! Think still of lovely things that are
 not true. Let wish and magic work at will in
 you Be sometimes blind to sorrow--make
 believe! Forget the calm that lies Tn disillusioned eyes. Though we all know that we must
 die, Yet you and l May walk like gods and be Even now at home in imm ortality. We know so many ugly things Deceits and wrongs and quarrelings, We know, alas! We know How swiftly go The color in the west The bloom upon the flower, The bloom upon the breast And Youths blind hour. Oh, keep within your heart A place apart Where little dreams may go, Hold fast your dreams! tLouise Driscoll in the New York Tmes.)

America, on the face Of these fg- ures, would seem to be rapidly assum- ing or taking the place so long oc- cupied by Spain,-a nation or clg- arctic smokers. And yet that IS not the case. The great production of cigarettes in the United States during the past year,-in 1906 the amount manufactured was only four bllllon.- is accounted for by the great demand for American tobacco abroad. To- bacconists have been very industriously increasing their foreign trade during the past few years. The American cigarette can be found in the remote parts of the globe. It is said to have been made popular by the American sailor on his various trips around the world So we will not blame all the cigarette smoking on Americans. A vast consumption of the coffin nail takes place under other skies.

"Thc PoIysyIlabic Physician"
lNew York Tribune.l

-tNGW 4OTk IIlOullS'J
 An attempt is made by "The Medi- cal Record to acquit physicians or the evil habit of using hard words, or at least to show that they sin no more than others in that way. The fol- lowing word is picked from paper in one of the chemical journals: tetra,dimethylamin minotetraphenylhydra zine. and the coiner of this tongue tvister we are told, "refers casually to tetramethyldiamino inotetramethyldia- minodiphenyldihydr Ills critic holds that after such out rages" as these no one should accuse the physician of expanding his ideas into polysyllabic labyrinths."
 If the plea is not disingenuous it Is assuredly very simple. No one ever ouarrelled with the doctors for using elaborate words and phrases when they could not find simple ones. To speak. for instance, of the astragalo- tibial articulation is well enough when a mere reference to the ankle is too vague and indefinite. Nor has anyone objected to the doctors bor- rowing the word dioxidiamidoarseno- benzol even since we have had short cut to the same idea with "salvarsan' or the still more con- else "606."
 The words that outraged our medi- cal contemporary are descriptive rather than pretentious. That is obvious. A hyphen here and there would render them comparatively in- offensive, but they cannot as yet be shortened. A popular demand will cut such words down if necessary. Tetranitromethylani can fall to tetryline or even tetryl; but is it at present possible to deal shortly with the outrages quoted?
 The quarrel with the doctors is not that they accept trouble when they must but that they make it needless Iy The Medical Record" agrees that an acute gastralgia is neither more nor less than tummyache; it must know, too, that prodigious jargon has grown about Freudism and grows inevitably about every ether new departure in medicine, to say nothing of the efferts made to adorn old notions with high-sounding modern phrases. The wantonness of medical phraseology is the chief cause of popular resentment-or 1. shall we say the chief etilogicaI fac- tor?

SOME CIGARETTES.

One firm in New Britain which, among other things, makes cigarette cases, has an output of these articles that is amazing,-it is something like two thousand cases a day, although that is not the exact number. Upon hearing of this enormous manufa cture of such an article one naturally won- ders where the demand could.be for such a supply. Turning then to the report of the United States Govern ment we find that the output of cig- arettes in this country the past year was seventeen billion, five hundred
 million Think of it! 17,500, 100000.
 It is almost beyond the imagination.
 but when we get those figures firmly plahted in our minds we may realize why one firm in New Britain can turn out two thousand cases a day to hold some of these cigarettes. and that granting a goodly year on srch orders, they are making approximate- ly six hundred thousand cieare++ Q
 cases here in the course of one year.
