Hard Row. Apropos of a very rich woman’s marriage to a man much younger than herself, Mayor Thompson said at a dinner in Chattanooga: . “Rich old women who marry handsome ooys have a hard row to hoe. I .know such an old woman. She said, tenderly, one day to her youthful spouse: ‘What would you do, 'darling, if I should die and leave you*’ The young * man. yawning behind his gold-tipped cigarette, said, languidly; ‘Die and leave me how much?* ”

In their presence I am like Mrs. Oldes. ‘That Mrs. Oldes is dreadfully hard to please,’ said a woman. ‘How so?* another woman asked. ‘Why, I told her the other day that she carried her age well, and she didn’f seem to like it at all, and she I told her that she didn’t carry it weM, and she liked that less than ever.’"

Cat Got Dizzy. Augustus Johnson, a machinist employed by the Seth Thomas Clock company in Thomason, Conn., tells this story: “I went fox hunting by moonlight one night recently. Near Henry Pickett’s house a large house cat came along pursued by a fox. The feline climbed a tree, whereupon the fox began to circle about the trunk. The cat watched the fox until it became dlszy and fell to the ground. As the fox started away with the cat I shot and got both fox and cat."

CONSORT PICKED BY ROYALTY Somewhat Summary Method of Mating as It Is Done in the Kingdom of Siam. Kings of Siam apparently do not believe in the wisdom of allowing single women to drift unattached about the country. In certain districts after a girl has reached an age where her securing for herself a husband is considered doubtful, she becomes a “daughter of the king.” That is, the king takes upon himself the task of settling her suitably in life. His process is quite simple, and to the point. He proceeds to the Siamese penitentiary and looks over the various prisoners. There is a law in Siam that any prisoner can obtain hia release by marrying one of this class of girls, and, naturally enough, any plsoner whom the king picks out is not likely to be backward about consenting to the ceremony. Nor does it make any difference if he la married, for the men of that country are not restricted to one wife. As far as can be learned, there is no Allowance made for the inclination of the girl In question. She has failed In her mission in life as far as she herself is concerned, and she must abide by the decision of the king. Cream Corn Soup. Heat a quart of milk in a mush bofler, as milk scorches easily; press a email can of corn through a strainer to remove hulls. If the corn does not go through the strainer well, pour tha milk into it; this will help to secure the pulp of the corn. Add a lump of butter the size of a walnut and pepper and salt to suit the taste. Beat the white of one egg to a stiff froth and stld into the soup lightly a few minutes before serving.

Martyr In Love. The nerviest youth we ever heard of was the one who proposed ten times to the same girl, and came to bo turned down the tenth time. “Dear boy,” explained the girl patiently.

r —. —nl | Ireland’s Music | 1 1—__——————JJ

HE story of Ireland’s music is, indeed, the story of Ireland. So important a part has the harp played in Erin’s annals, so closely interwoven is music with

■— 11

her affairs, - educational, political, social, and religious, that to omit mention of her minstrels and minstrelsy while writing of Erin would be practically to rob Ireland of her history. From the beginning, centuries before Christ, music held a high place in life. The Milesians brought the tfari> with them. The bards enjoyed official rank. Rich lands were set aside for their maintenance and they were immune from tribute. Laws and chronicles were written in poetry and were recited at the great festivals held at Tara. The ancient name of Tara itself, Temur, was derived from ”te,” signifying melody, and “mur,” a wall. Temur, “the wall of music,’’ was so called from its celebrity for melody above the other palaces of Ireland. The Milesians came directly from Spain, but they had been wanderers for centuries, and their civilizations most resembled that of Egypt. Heccataeus, the Egyptian historian, writing of Ireland about the year B. C. 500, says: “They say that Latona was born here, and, therefore, that they worshiped Apollo above all other gods. . . . That there is a city likewise consecrated to this god. whose citizen's are most of them harpers. who, playing upon the harp, chant sacred hymns to Apollo in the temple.” Proof of the affinity between Egypt and Ireland is preserved in a sculptured harp at Ullard. County Kilkenny. The Irish harps, like those of Assyria and Egypt, had no front pillar. Another peculiarity was that the ancient Irish harper played the treble notes with his left hand. In the Senachus Mor, Jaws compiled in the fifth century, special penalties were prescribed for the non-return of a harp or a tuning key. Music flourished in Ireland until the Danes commenced to make descents upon her coasts. These began at the close of the eighth century and continued for about 200 years. The, quality of Irish music, which up to this time was religious in its purposes, now- changed somewhat. From this period came some of the best battle songs. “They stream and crash upon the ear like the warriors of a mndred glens meeting,” writes Thomts Davis, “and you are borne with :hem to battle, and they and you jharge and struggle amid cries and >attle axes and stinging arrows.” Just JpSow hWSS Brian Boru’s Harp. is the disciplined treads of phalanx and legion- impressed itself .on the rhythmical hexameters of the Greek and Roman epics, the dash and fierce daring of Malachi, Murrogh and Brian Boru seem to have been breathed into the stirring war tunes that commemorate the deeds of these Irish heroes. The last of the bards was Turlough O’Carolan. Oliver Goldsmith, when a bright-eyed child, was presented to the ancient Celtic poet. Carolan, blind and hoary with age. was a fitting personification of the honored line of which he was the last. Goldsmith never forgot this interview, when the mantle of song was transferred, sd to speak, from the ancient minstrels of Ireland to the new. Many of Cardan’s compositions are preserved in Moore’s melodies, among the best known being “The Young May Moon,” “Fly Not Yet,” and “Oh! Blame Not the Bird.” Ancient Gaelic Legends. The ancient Gaelic legends are full of caves and fountains; hounds, and deer, the wolf, the symbol of longing, and white fawns and morning and evening stars. Many of the tales have the Celtic humor and vivacity, but the tear is nearly always close to the surface. Many of us are familiar with the tale of Cuchulain, who loved an immortal goddess, wheeled him in many a long and fantastic chase, flitted before him enticingly, disappeared always to reappear and finally mocked him. At last he came back full of lamentations to the love of the mortal woman he had left behind. Then there Is Dearmuid, strangest and ficklest of all the daughters of Eve. and Delrdre, akin to Helen and the others who have compassed the madness of men, but whose red and white flames burning together symbolized wisdom and loveliness.

Lesson In Gaelic Legends. The first years of the twentieth century have brought something new and reviving to the literdSwre of the world. It is a great fountain of Gaelic legend that has been eagerly welcomed, for there is a reaction against nineteenth century materialism which tends to express itself in the love of symbols. This great store of newlyunearthed legend has stimulated the magination of the world with strange ales and passions and phantasies and lalry kingdoms. It has resulted in a ‘Celtic movement.” How much the world owes to the Imagination of this race many people are unaware. Before we knew the divine comedy it existed in Gaelic legends of the weird purgatory seen by the pilgrims who journeyed to Lough Derg In a boat fashioned from ahollow tree.

history—Saint Patrick. The record of thia great patriarch, missioner, and apostle, is proof positive of the designs of Go<| in the spread of the gospel. He confides not to the mighty of this earth, but rather to the humble, the virtuous and the believing. He chose for his apostles the humble fishermen of Galilee, confiding to them the plan of redemption in the christianizing of the world. And so he chose Saint Patrick as the messenger of his gospel. And well did Patrick fulfil his mission and redeem the purport of his vow, that the emerald getn of the western w’orld should become the Mecca from which men drank at the fountain of knowledge, and (returning to their respective homes, be the messengers of the gospel of peace under the new dispensation. So zealous were the works of Saint Patrick that from A. D. 432, when he landed in Ireland, to 493, when he died at the advanced age of 120 years, the while na tion was - Christianized, churches and colleges bedecked the land, and the youth of Britain, Scotland and France repaired to the hospitable isle, to gain the advantages of advanced < ducation.

Though almost fifteen if enturies have elapsed since the ministrations of Patrick began, his work goles bravely on, and the faith which inspired his zeal finds willing disciples in his followers of today. “His name la written in the diptychs of far-distant churches in charity's gold , letters.” From Australia to Labrador, from Canada to China; aye, in the remotest islands of the sea, the missionary labors of the Celt are traced today, and so the name of Ireland’s patron saint keeps pace with the rising and the setting of the sun.

JUST SORDID EPISODE BUDDING ROMANCE OF OSCAR M. DWINDLE BADLY NIPPED. Estimable Gentleman Had Pictured Himself as Hero of Exciting Adven.turn, but Alasl It Was Fated Not to Be. Oscar Dwindle stood in front of , the hotel in earnest contemplation of the heavens. It looked liksL rain—or snow—Dwindle wasn't quite certain. “Hello!” exclaimed Dwindle. He hadn’t changed the direction of his gaze. To all intents his eye was still riveted on the aforesaid heavens. But it wasn’t Dwindle’s eye was performing two revolutions a second. He was observing the descent of a light object. The light object was black. it stretched itself out on a passing puff »of wind, then it fluttered a bit, then it swooped, then it plunged. Dwindle watched every gyration. He wa> rewarded at length. The object fell into h’s hands. It was warm and , silky, and Dwindle identified it as a' stocking. Exclaimed Dwindle, “B’gosh.” Forthwith he sent two searching gtaucea against the wall of the hotel, waving his find at the same time. There was no response. Dwindle was Impressed. He said: “It does not belong to any one there. It is the property of an angel.” But this wasn’t logic, and Dwindle knew very well that angels don’t • wear stockings. So Dwindle contradicted himself: “It was not an angel,” said he, “that dropped it. lam of the opinion It belongs to some guest, a very young one. See the small size .of the foot.” “Who says romance and adventure are not on the mat, with their shoulders pinned?” exclaimed Dwindle. “Here are both of them in my hand. Come down,” continued Dwindle, “whoever you ape, and meet your knight. ’Tis Oscar Dwindle who flourishes your expensive hosiery In the • cold air.” Despite his commands no one appeared—not just then —-so Dwindle continued his reverie, this time in silence. But an observer could not mistake the emotion so plainly depicted on his face. Five minutes passed, and Dwindle, with a parting, and most significant glance, crushed the silky stocking In his hand and prepared to put it in his pocket. / He made fqr the hotel. “Hey—mister.” Dwindle paid no attention. “You, mister, with the silk stocking, please.” This time Dwindle leaped into the air and turned. “Did you find a silk stocking?” ask- . ed a man six feet tall. “I did.” replied Dwindle. “Fine,” said the speaker. “It’s mine.” “Yours?” 1 “Yes; I own it." Dwindle paled. “I’m in the business,” said the speaker. “T sell silk stockings. Come upstairs: “I’ll show you my line of goods. This one fell out of the window while I was unpacking my trunk." When the Poet Lost OutHe was a poet, with long hair and all, and for a time she was tickled to death at the novelty of holding hands with him on the sofa. But after a time she tried hints, but they went in one poetic ear and out the other like water off a duck’s back, and the night our story opens she spoke right out. B “Algernonie,” she said, “Sunday night, when you came around, you wrote a sonnet to my left eyebrow, didn’t you?” “Yes, love, I did,” he returned, putting one hand on his bosom to keep it from swelling with pride. “Tuesday night, when you called.” she continued, “you composed a triolet to my nether lip, didn’t you?” “Yes. love,” he admitted, “I did.” “Wednesday night, during you» call,” she pursued, “you dashed off a roundel ta my dimples, didn’t you?” “Yes. love,” he smiled, “ ‘dashed ■ off’ is good. But. there, there, don’t mention it.” * 1 “And didn’t It ever occur to you,’ she said earnestly, “that a girl might sometimes wish for something more substantial?” “Barling, you are right!” he cried. “This very evening shall I write an ode in blank verse to your entire face.” She walked sadly to the foot of the etairs. “Father,” she called regretfully, “put on your storm shoes and come down." Colors to Guide Autoists. Motor touring routes through New York state are to be marked by color schemes, in order to make the routes readily recognizable. The route from New York to Buffalo through Albany, f for instance, is to be marked in blue, with fences, bridge approaches and signs on the proper highway display* Ing this color. The suggestion was advanced by an automobile association official and adopted by the state highways department. Red will be the color of the route from New York to Jamestown byway of Binghamton; yellow will mark the route from New York to the Canadian border, at Ogdensburg; green is for the trip from Binghamton to Niagara Falls and Ogdensburg, and brown from Oswego to Syracuse and Binghamton. Chance for Inventors. The preparation of nlxtamal by hand is quite laborious, the Mexican worn- ” en of the peon class spending a fair proportion of each day mashing the day’s supply of nlxtamal on a metate with a stone rolling pin after it has been prepared for this process by being boiled with lime. Nlxtamal is the name of the com itself after having been so treated; after grinding it is known as masa. As the tortillas and tamales made from masa prepared in the manner described form the staple diet of the Mexican people, a machine for the easy preparation of nlxtamal ought to find a wide sale.
