RORY o'coNNoR's RULE

l.. B Gates, in the Saturday Evening Post.
 The massive iron gates (of the Four Courts, In Dublin), which always stood open to those who wished to visit or transact business. were now closed, and ponderous sandbags were piled one on top of another to the height of mans head. suppementing these, ard behind them, rude fences of barbed wire had been hastily nearly all the way across the courtyard. narly all the way across the court yard.~
 But what centered my attention was youth who could not have been more than 15 or lo years old, and who, with fixed bayonet, was swaggering up and down the stone flag ging inside the barriers. There was, of course, nothing particularly noticeable about this. were it not for the fact that the boy wore at raksh angle on his head the horsehair bag wig of g judge, together with the torn silk gown of one of his majesty's counsel learned in the law, draped carelessly over his shoul- ders.
 street gamin at my side. stopped and thrust his head half way through the barred gate.
 "Whin are ye' goin' to hould court, gin eral?" he shrilled, as I thought, somewhat derisively.
 The boy sentry glared back at his tormentor, but did not deign to reply. He evidently felt the dignity and importance of his exalted po- sition.
 In this connection good many laughter provoking stories banded about Dublin regarding Rory O'Connor's warriors, of whom the majority are, as report has it, little more than boys. One of them goes on to say that they were reveling in high sounding military titles until Gen. Rory O'Connor issued an or- der to the effect that no one must hold rank above major unless he could write his name.
 It's always so in Ireland. Even in the midst of tn emost tragic situation somebody is sure to feel tickle of the ribs and at once pro- ceed to manufacture joke.

People are daily realizing that money invested in institutions of learning is not money wasted, but brings better returns than any other expenditure. The illustration has been cited by the enormous amount of money that is spent yearly in this way and by the fact that 50 years ago where several hum dred thousand dollars were spent annually for the schools and colleges over billion and half dollars were spent last year."

By Bayard Taylor. The Ornament of Asia" and the "Crown 2. Of fair Ionia." Yea but Asia stands No more an empress, and Ionia's hands Have lost their scepter, Thou majestic town, Art, as a diamond on faded robe: The freshness of thy beauty scatters yet The radiance of that sun of Empire set, Whose disk sublime umed the ancient globe. Thous sitt'st between the mountains and the
 sea: The sea and mountains flatter thine array, And fill thy courts with Grandeur not Decay, And Power, not Death, procams thy cypress
 tree. Through thee, the sovereign symbols Nature
 lent Her rise, make Asia's fall magnificent.

RARE BOOK FROM LHAssA

From the San Francisco Chronicle. <
 Four extremely rare and very valuable manuscripts, written in Lhassa, the sacred more than 400 years ago, have been brought to San Francisco with the arrival of w. Y. Evans Wentz, scholar and globe-trotter, who has returned after an absence of 15 years, during which he has travelled to all parts of the world, to revisit old associates at Stanford university.
 Since his departure, the former Stanford man has had innumerable adventures and has conducted research work of great value in the ancient cities of India, Egypt, Tibet, Japan and China. After receiving his masters de- gree at Stanford he did postgraduate worx at Oxford, winning the research degree of Bachelor of Science in anthropology, and the Doctorate in France. He plans to return to Oxford, where he is to publish the result of his researches.
 The manuscripts brought from Tibet are part of the transcendental teachings of Buddha, known as the Praphana Paramta. The volume is three feet long by one foot wide, and a foot in thickness, bound in heavy covers, the nsides of which are illuminated much after the fashion of medieval Examinations of Europe. One of these shows Rahma, son of Buddha, and yoga, or holy man of the jungle. Very few pictures exist in the world of brings with him are extremely interesting ex- amples of the hand Illuminated work of the ancient Tibetian monks.

 I lately had brief picture of the state of Ireland from one of it's afflicted inhabitants His town is in the occupation of body of Free State troops, and is intermittently be- seged by body of irregulars from the sur rounding hills. Each party has a machine gun There is much firing and little or no slaughter. The irregulars are unpopular and diminish in numbers. The country folk do snot smile on them; but they do not tell on them.'g They are all boys, the average ags barely 21.
