United States {" Bitterness is never
a useful instrument in public affairs "
Undoubtedly this is true. All Of us
ought to dedicate ourselves to re-
framing from bitterness, from emo
provoking words. Those of us
who have been guilty in the past ought
to apologize in contrition. So far
as have been guilty I herewith

Historical Inconsistency

History is anything but logical or
consistent. The Pilgrim fathers, for
instance, originally sailed for the
Hudson and found themselves at
the end of their voyage on the Mas
sachusetts coast. Their destination
was the Hudson, then Dutch, be-
cause they had come from Holland,
whence they had sailed from Eng
land seeking religious freedom. But
in Holland, life was so good that
the little band Of Pilgrims, seeing
absorption imminent with so many
intermarrying with the Dutch, de-
ternined to keep themselves sepa-
rate by journeying to the New
World.

"Fenianism," Scheme of
Irish, Irish-Americar


'Fenianism" was a movement of
Irish and Irish-Americans to sepa-
rate Ireland from Great Britain and
form it into an independent repub-
lie. The first of the Fenian lead
ers, James Stephens, failing to Gre
ate an uprising in Munster, came to
the United States to form a union
Of Irish who had left their country
following the famine of 1847, and,
with John O'Mahoney, organized
the movement on this side of the At
lantic.
After the close Of the Civil war,
which cast thousands Of Irishmen
adrift, notes a writer in the Indi-
annapolis News, Fenian societies
so-named from a Gaelic title-were
formed rapidly in many cities in
the United States, and an invasion
Of Canada, known as the ''Fenian
raid" was planned and partially
carried out in 1866. Between 500
and 600 men crossed the Niagara
river on June l, but were driven
back, many of them being arrested
by the United States authorities.
Other attempts which were made
during the year were checked be-
fore the men could leave the Ameri-
can side of the boundary line. On
May rs, 1870, however, a small Fe-
nian force crossed the frontier at
Trout river, in the province Of Que
bee, only to be driven back by Ca
madam volunteers. Effective meas
ures later were taken to quen the
activities Of the Fenians, because Of
the accompanying threat to Ameri-
can-British relations, and the move
ment passed into obscurity.

Only in bright sunshine are white
clothes in general materially cooler
than dark ones, the white rejecting

found that the tropical closely
woven white fabrics not only reflect
much of the sunlight but also pre-
vent the transmission of ultra-vio.

the tests of the bureau, it makes

Turning Her Coat Once
Saved Margaret of Kent

In olden days in Britain, Queen
Margaret Of Kent, the first Christian
queen to teach her people that re-
hgion, was imprisoned in a tower
by her cousin Firth, who wished to
rule Kent himself. Queen Margaret
longed to escape to join her SOL
diers, who were gathered across the
river, afraid to attack the tower.
Margaret saw them from her
prison and knew she must reach
them some way to inspire their flag
ging courage. But if she tried to
cross the river, which was frozen
solid and white, her many-colored
cloak Of bright patches would be
easily seen by Frith's men.
However, the gallant queen made
the attempt, relates a writer in the
Washington Star, and escaping the
tower, had an inspiration at the
river side. By turning her cloak
inside out, its white lining protected
her from sight on the ice as she

Some doctors went so far as to
say that if petals Of the iris were
placed on a black and blue spot for
FIVE days the flesh would assume the
natural color. The roots OF the iris
were used as teething rings for ba-
