Czechic literature has yolumlnous
and impressive accomplishments to
show. Take, for example, Bohemla's
three great writers of the nineteenth
century, Dobroysky, Jungmann and
Paacky. Jungmann compiled a die
tlonary Of the Czech language in five
volumes, Palacky wrote work Of 90
600 pages on Czechic history, and Dob.
roysky wrote a grammar of Czechic.
The most indefatigable writer, how
ever, was Jaroslav Vrchicky. He
translated Dantes Divine Comedy"
Ariosto's "Orlando FurloSo," Calderon,
Faust" Walt Whitman. as we'll as
works from French, Hebrew, YiddiSh
and Chinese. No one knows how he
found the time to do it, Among the
leading Czech writer's of the present,
Frana Sramek. Toman Kodlcek, the
Capek brothers and Theer rank high.

The bagppes. were iMroduced into
Ireland from Caledonia. They had
the same use in the Irish armies they
now have In the Highland regiments
But the Irish made, in the course Of
time an improvement, using bellows
TO fill the chanter instead Of the
mouth, and continued improving the
instrument untH the union pipes of to-
day are the result.
As to early Irish harpers and their
music there is little known, but at
Queen Elizabeths court. Irish tunes
were popular. OF late huge books of
ancient Irish melodies have been col.
