IRELAND UNDER ALIEN RULE
Power Of the Danes Broken by Brian
Boru in 1014-Normans Became
Amalgamated.

About 500 A. D., the pagan hosts
of the Mortimer and Danes fell on
Ireland with fierce destruction. After
a century of destruction, Irish kings
led their people in a succession of
wars, for the deiyerance of their
country, and Brian Borama, or Brian
Boru (926-1014), king Of Munster, by
his great victory in the battle of Clon-
tart, on April %, 1914, finally broke the
power of the Danes in Ireland. In
iii Ireland was invaded by the Nor
mans from England in the time of
Henry II, and its conquest began. "In
Ireland to quote the words of Prof
Edward A. Freeman 1S23-1S92) "the
Norman was more purely a conqueror
than anywhere else, but in Ireland his
power of adaptation caused him to
sink in a way in which he sank no.
where else. While some of the Nor
man settlers in Ireland went to swell
the mass of the English of the Pale,
others threw in their lot with the
native Irish, and became in the we'll
known saying, more Irish than the
Irish themselves Detroit News.

RELIGION Of Good citizenshjn

"In China there existed in the past
and there are evidences that it is com
ing to life again, the religion Of good
citizenship" says a writer in Asia
Magazine. "That is to say, the Chi
nese theory is that man does not
need to feel the need of physical force
to protect himself he has seldom the
need even to call in and use the physi-
cal force of the policeman-of the state
to protect him. A man in China is
supposed to be protected by the sense
of justice of his neighbor; he is pro-
tected by the readiness of his fellow
men to obey the sense of moral oblga-
ton. The ideal of Chinese civilization,
therefore, is that a man can not feel
the need of using physical force to
protect himself because he is sure that
right and justice is recognized by all
his neighbors as q force higher than
physical force, and that moral obliga-
ton as recognized by everybody Is
something that must be Obeyed."

Ground Must Be Hollow.

In Lassen county, California. is a
spot called Dry lake, which is in reali-
~ almost an arid plain. with some
alkali scattered here and there over
it, and its area is two and a half by
four miles. On one side are the Pit
River mountains and on another are
big pine woods, while to the west are
the famous lava beds, in which the
Indians hid during that last great Cal
ifornia struggle with the sayages. A
winding road leads up from the val
ley below into the curious basin.
If a horse walks on this road any
where, even two or three miles out
side the border of the Dry lake, he
can be heard for many miles up in the
interior. The ground all about there
sends forth n hollow sound. Reverbera-
tions can be heard everywhere. A foot
fall may be heard like a sound in a
great cavern.

"Mirth is Gods medicine" says a
noted writer. Everybody ought to
battle in it. Grim care. moroseness,
anxiety, all the rus of life, ought to
be secured off by the oil of mirth. 1t
is better than emery. Every man
ought to rub himself with it. A man
without mirth is like a wagon without
springs, but a man who laughs and
causes others to laugh, even though the
days are dark and the causes for laugh
ter are few, is like a chariot with
springs in which one may ride over the
rough roads and feel nothing but a
pleasant motion"

WHERE FROGS ARE CHICKENS
Tariff Laws of the United States Say
They Are Same and Alike ain
Three Counts"

To one not versed in tariff law, or
familiar with the devious and tortu.
Gus channels Of reasoning followed
only by customs legal summaries, some
of the decisions at first appear to be
rather odd. Frogs have become chick
ems for tariff purposes, venson has
been held to be beef and live snails
have sOberly been decided to be nouenu-
merated manufactured articles, re-
marks the San Francisco Chronicle
Reason begins to tOtter on its throne
and completely tumbles off when one
learns that friedrich weighing under
tive pounds is a friedrich weighing over
five pounds. Reason, however. can pick
up its scepter and climb back to lis
easy chair with n sigh Of relief after
reading wonderful! paragraph in the
law known as the simiitude clause
by name or material. and has one Of
four characteristics of an article that
is provided for, it takes the same rate
of duty. If the homeless article re-
scmbles any other article either in
material, quality, texture or in use
to which it may be applied it becomes
that article for tariff purposes. Frog
meat Is similar to the white meat Of
chicken in three counts, venison scores
on one for the reason that both ven
iSon and beef are eaten and frebriclls
weighing under five pounds are used
in exactly the same manner as those
weighing over five pounds.
