"The business and professional man
In these days begins the weeks work

Spirit for five or five and a half days
Of continued and uninterrupted effort"
said Mr.. Chandler in speaking of the
movement, "but on the average In
every sixth week there comes with a
bnhg legal holiday in the middle Of
the week. At such times it becomes
difficult TO throw off the pressure,
to relax, to get the holiday spirit. We
seem rather once we have started, to
prefer the continuous weeks work and
begrudge the time lost, feeling that We
are not doing our duty to ourselves,
bur families or cur business.
"This interruption would, be mate

WHY THE SHAMROCK IS WORN
Custom Not Only in Honor Of the Saint,
but in Remembrance Of Days
Of Famine.

Few who put n sprlg Of shamroCk
In their ~buttOnhole on the 18th OF
March realize that these little green
leaves more than once kept the Irish
from death In dire famine times.
In 1896 the poet Spenser declares
that the wal had brought the miScr-
able inhabitants of Munster to n point
where they flock to Il plot OF water
crosses or shamrocks as to Il feast"
In his "View Of Iceland" he describes
this as the depth Of ruin TO which n
land formerly having abundant corn
and cattle had been plunged.
The t~roublous times continued and
the shamrock Is mentioned as an ar.
ticle of food again and again. Fyncs
Morrison, In 1893, writes that the herb
IS still being snatched out of the
bitches for food"
Withcrs In abuses Stript and
Whipt" (1G13) sings:
And for my clothing In n mantle go
Ana iced on shamrocks as the Irish doe.
Not until later was the shamrock
used rs the national emblem of Erin.
Nathaniel COlgan, member of the
Royal Irish academy, says the earliest
record of the wearing o. the green"
Is coHtninCd in the diary of Thomas
Dlnely, who wrote In 1857:
nth day Of March yearly Is ST.
Patrick, an immovable feast, when the
Irish Of all stations and conditions
wear crosses in their hats, some of
pins, some Of green ribbon, and the
vulgar superstitiousiy wear sham.

likewise eat (they say To cause a

and servants also demand their Pat

they go expressly TO town. though half
n dozen miles OFF, to spend, where
sometimes il amounts TO n piece OF
eight or Il cobb apiece, and very few

a later reference to the wearing OF
the shamrock appears In the works OF

early eighteenth century. lie says

1T WAS the foundation of ST. Pat
rick's greatness that his rcnova.
ton of Ireland was not a revolu.

traditions untouched, wherever they
could be purged Of Il faint of super

laws and Judges, bards and kings be.
fore him, and they continued after
him. He built his church carefully.
To dlsarm political opposition he ap-
pealed straight to the heads of the
clans. He aimed ut the creation OF
n nntive clergy. He tried to give ev-
cry community II place OF worship. At
his death 800 churches lay along the
routes his Journeys had taken; 1876
bishops were distributed throughout
the land, 5000 priests ministered to
the spiritual ants of the nation. He

Not without reason has the name OF
st. Patrick been held In ve~neratlon
through these many generations.
There Is nowhere u teacher whose
services for learning exerted so wide
an influence In a time so critical for
all culture. There Is nowhere n states

whose teachings are blended like his
with the destlnies OF his nation.
