There are two ways of cutting the

Spanish Irishmen.

A recent writer draws attention to
the connection which has long existed
between Ireland and Spain. In the
days of the 'Wild Geese" when IRISH
men were carving out futures for them
selves as soldiers of fortune in many
lands, they went in large numbers to
Spain. Then again large numbers Of
Irish nen and women, many Of them
belonging to well-knOwn families, emil
grated to Spain IN the early days of the
nineteenth century. All these immi-
grants were adopted by the country,
and they adopted it, whole-heartedly !;
SO intellectually indeed, that, as
the writer already referred to pointed
out, hardly any of their present repre-
sentatives speak English, at any rate
as a native tongue" and they have
lost all touch with Irish life. They
have retained their names, hoWeYer,
unaltered, and in the Spanish army
list are to be found many such names
as O'Connor, O'Neil, ODonnell, Shaw
and so on.-Christian Science Moni'
