THE NE\V IRELAND.
By Gilbert Parker.
Within the lant decade in Ireland politics 1mvt
shown an inclination to be practical , religion has
become more tolerant , the question of education
is at last being seriously and anxiously grappled
with , and a new sense of the independence of all
sections , creeds , interests and parties in Ireland
is by way of being evolved.
It was the deep conviction that the Irish
character only needed the right appeal in order to
put forth a great recuperative vitality mat some
years ago Sir Horace Flunkott launched his movement ot
organized self-help entitled the Irish Agricultural Organi
zation Society.
That society has grown until it now embraces over
8,000 branches and nearly half a million persons ; its co
operative creameries , damp * , poultry societies , agricul
tural banks , and home industries societies have spread all
over the island ; with the admirable assistance and stim
ulus of the Gaelic League it has touched the secret chord
of Irish nationality , strengthened the backbone and in
creased the prosperity of the Irish peasant ; it is incul
cating thrift , responsibility , and business-like habits ; it
is founding libraries , reviving the rural art * and handi
crafts , and bringing back lo the countryside something of
old Irish joyousness.
All this is an effort to expand the sentiment of nation
ality outside the domain of party controversies , a conscious
attempt of the Irish to develop a civilization of thc'ir own.
By focusing the energies of the people on the Immedintely
practicable it dissipates the enervating idea that reform
car come only from without. It places , literally as well as
figuratively , the recreation of Ireland in Irish hands
Overriding < sectional , religious , and political divisions , it
makes for unity in the solution of problems in which al !
Irishmen will , in time , realize that they have a commoi.

WHO HAS BEI7ER TIME MAN OR WOMAN ?
By Angela Morgan.
Women have a better time in life than men
do. Under no circumstances would I choose to
be a man. If 1 had a chance to come to earth
again in another incarnation , and were given the
choice , I should without hesitation elect to be
a woman. Women know how to get the finest
flavor from life. They know how simply because
Jiey are born to it not because they acquire the
knowledge through effort. To extract the real
ssence rrom living one must be endowed with these quali-
les : Imagination , intuition , sensibility and th : ' capacity
o love. Women possess all these requisites to a greater
egree than men. For this reason women can lay hold
n the subtler enjoyments of life. And as the subtlest en-
oyments are the best and most lasting , it is the women
'ho have a monopoly of real happiness in life.
It is In her capacity to love that woman experiences
her greatest joj\s. Woman gets a vast deal more out of
lOV ( than man. Show me the man to whom love means
tie-tenth what it does to a woman ! When a man loves ,
the external scenery of life does not change visibly to him.
Lift does not become a thing bewitched and gilded. His
day and hours and moments not
ays are permeated by love as
n influence. i Love , to a man , means an exhilarating chase
ar possession , A woman pleases him , captivates him and
e wants her for his own. In possession he finds a certain
leasure a certain pride and satisfaction but as for hap-
iness , the sort of happiness a woman extracts from love
whj , he doesn't know the A 15 C of it ! Once in a while ,
erhaps , a sense of it grazes his consciousness but he is
30 busy to give it more than a curious thought or two.
is mind is too crowded with practical things to admit the
intangible. " But when a woman loves , she lives. She

HE ! LATEST SENSATIONAL
SPECTACLE IN PARIS.
The appetite of the Parisian public
for dangerous spectacles never seems
3 pall. The latest "attraction" is the
togyi
yroscope at the Casino de Paris , in
rhich a bicyclist travels round the
wh"J side of a moving track or wheel.
The gyroscope is constructed scien-
ifically , and is , while moving round
s axle , executing a circular rnove-
lent round a strong pillar supporting
; a weight at the back insures the
lability of the apparatus.
The diameter of the wheel is about
feet ; it is built like a bicycle wheel ,
nd bears on one side a metallic fac-
ig joined to the axle by eight girders
iron ; on the facing is fixed a track
imposed of small wooden bars , giv-
ig more "grip" to the tires.
The bicycle is somewhat similar to
rdinary machines ; the handles are
ertical. the front fork straighten , and
THE GYROSCOPE.
u whole a few pounds heavier than
2 ordinary bicycle.
Yale , world champion for this ki/.d
exercise , and well known for his
ring feats , is performing on the gy-
scope. Entering it on his bicycle he
tnmences by riding rapidly , thus im-
essiug a reverse movement to the
roscope ; when this has attained a
rtain speed Yale blocks his wheels
a powerful effort of the legs : the
roscope therefore pulls him back-
irds to a certain height. When
idling the point where the force
censioiial Is nil , the cyclist starts
ain at a high pace , thus increasing
speed of the apparatus and raisi
him ou the other side to a certain
exercise , repeated several times ,
ing , all-transforming , all-embracing. Love to a woman
means the opportunity to express herself to give the best
of herself to the object of her affections. It menus , too ,
the opportunit3' for sacrifice and it is right here that
woman revqls in the full expression of her love. Suffering
and sacrifice are to her but different names for happiness.
It is in mother love , perhaps , that woman reaches the
pinnacle of blessedness. And of such selfless bliss as this
man knows nothing.
What if men do have greater freedom than women ?
That very freedom proves itself oftener : i curse than a
blessing. What if women's lives are bound by convention
ality ? Up to the present writing , the wisdom of such re
striction has not been disproved. No , I would not be a
man if I could. Despite her restrictions , her sacrifices and
her sufferings I think a woman gets the greatest happiness
out of life.
PNEUMONIA MAKES BIG STRIDES.
By Dr. muiam E. Qulne. ot Chicago.
Pneumonia is the most prevalent of all infec
tious diseases. Since the year 1SGO its destruc-
tiveness in Chicago has increased 350 per cent ,
while that of consumption has diminished 40 per
cent.
Since the year 1000 , of all the deaths occurring
in Chicago one-eighth have been the direct result
of pneumonia , 'this being one-third more than was
caused bv consumption and 44 ner cent more
than was caused by all other infectious diseases combined.
Liability to it increases steadily from the age of puberty
to death. The male sex contracts the malady twice as
often as the female , not because of greater inherent sus
ceptibility , but because of habits of greater exposure.
The disease is twice as fatal among negroes as It Is
among whites , and the most prolific of all auxiliary causes
is the use of alcoholic beverages. Habitual intemperance
not only increases t'ho rate of prevalence of pneumonia ,
but it increases the mortality of the disease as well.
Tliis is shown by the fact that in the charitable hosi
pitals , such as our Cook County Hospital , about one pneui
monia patient out of three or four dies , whereas In private
practice only one patient out of eight or ten dies. The
malady is most prevalent in the months of January , Feb
ruary and March , and liability to it is enormously increased
by the prevalence of the grip.
Pneumonia is caused by a germ. The germ is dls-
charged in the expectoration of a pneumonia patient. If
the expectoration 'be allowed to fall upon the floor or upon
the carpet it soon dries and crumbles into dust , and this
dust containing the pneumonia germs may be wafted
through the atmosphere of the house , and thus spread the
infection. The pneumonia germs are widely distributed
and are often found entangled in the mucus of the nose and
throat of healthy persons.
Badly ventilated houses or apartments in which cases
of pneumonia have occurred are extremely liable to develop
other cases in endless succession unless the premises are
thoroughly fumigated and ventilated. In relation to the
prevention of pneumonia , the most imperative of all re- '
quirements is that the. expectoration of the patient IK
promptly destroyed , and in this connection it is not to
be forgotten that after a patient has recovered from pneu
monia the germs may persist in his expectoration for many
months.
One of the most destructive fallacies that governs ordi- K
narily sensible people is that which leads them to exclude j (
night air from their bedrooms , on the assumption that night
air is peculiarly noxious ; but since it i.s not possible to get t
any other kind of air at night but night air , it would seem n
that the supply then should be just as free as during any u
other part of the twenty-four hours. Judicious habits of r
dressing , and regularity as to eating and sleeping , and the I' '
avoidance of alcoholic excesses , will confer the maximum | '
degree of protection against the disease.

EAR A REMARKABLE ORGAN.
Specially Fitted by Nature for the

The organ of hearing is one of the
most marvelous pieces of mechanism
in the body. In animals the external
car acts as a trumpet lo collect the
sound waves. In man it is little more
than an ornament. Rut the internal
ear is alike in both. So wonderful is
its construction that we can distin
guish sounds ; varying from40 to 4.000
vibrations per second. This feat is
performed ' by a portion of the ear call

mysterious ' manner the rods , with oth

and , when they vibrate , they cause the
hairs to 'transmit an impulse to the

The Senate on Saturday decided not to
admit as testimony in the Swayne im
peachment trial the statement made by
Judge Swayne before a House commit
tee and then adjourned the court. A
request of the House for a conference on
the statehood bill was received and a
sharp debate ensued over an effort to
have the conference committee appointed
immediately. The opponents of joint
statehood succeeded m securing u post-
ponement until Monday. Senator Penu
rose , from the committee on postollice
and post roads , reported the postofHce
appropriation bill , and then the special
order of the day , eulogies upon the char
acter of the late Senator M. S. Quay of
Pennsylvania , was taken up. The House
received notice that the Senate had with-
drawn its wheat drawback amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill , and
immediately voted to reject all the Sen
ate amendments and send the measure
lo conference. The Senate amendments
to the diplomatic and consular bill were
also disagreed to and a conference re
quested. Similar action was taken on
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill. Several private bills were passed
and the House then went into committee
of the whole lo consider the pension ap
propriation bill , which was finally passed
without amendment.
The Senate on Monday debated at
lenjrth the question of whether the Sen
ate conferees on the statehood bill should
be appointed in the usual manner , or
whether they should be selected so as to
re-present sentiment of the Senate as rep
resented in the bill as passed. The argu
ment ' was interrupted by the convening
of ! the Senate as a court in the Swayne
impeachment trial , when the House man
agers rested their case and the defense
opened. , Bills were passed authorizing
the i construction of a railway bridge
across i the White river iu Indiana and
authorizing the award of bronze medals
for ' bravery in saving f.ves in railroad
wrecks. The House pa.ssed the naval
appropriation j bill , after voting to retain
the provision for two new battleships ,

e.\penses of the marine corps from ? U. . -

ment i giving authority to build the collier
authorized at the last session elsewhere
than ' on the Pacific coast , and accepting
an amendment appropriating $175,000 to

building the collier. During the debate
Mr. Baker of New York caused a storm
of j protest by introducing a resolution
censuring the President for sending a
message of condolence on account of the
assassination of Grand Duke Sergius in
Moscow. Mr. Payne of New York an
nounced the death of his colleague. Mr.

which the liver manufactures for fu

when wanted for use is changed into
sugar. It is the substance which makes
the oyster sweet in the mouth.
But there are other valuable con
