A remarkable discovery has been
made in County Mayo, Ireland,
| wbere a wooden boat, believed to be
nearly 2,000 years old, and has been
dug up by some laborers. The boat
is beautifully carved from the trunk
J of an oak tree. It is 46 feet long
and shows absolutely no signs of de
cay. The wood was so hard that
hatchets made scarcely any impres
sion on it. Excursions are now be
ing organised to view this ‘relic of
Celtic handicraft, which will soon be
taken to the Dublin museum.
Good roads like good streets, make
habitation along them most desira
ble. They economize time time and
foice in transportation of products,
reduce wear and tear on horses, bar
ness and vehicles and enhauce the
market value of real estate. They
raise the value of farm lands and
farm products and tend to beautify
the country through which they pass.
They facilitate rural mail delivery
and are a potent aid to education,
religion and sociability. Charles
Summer once said, “The road and
the schoolmaster are the two most
important agents in advancing civil
ization.” It is more than gratifying
to know that before so many months
go by Early county will have her
share of miles of good roads.—

William J. Bryan found time to
tell a story or two while he was at
luncheon in the House restaurant at
the Capitol today, says the Wash
ington Correspondent to the Phila
delphia North American.
“A while ago,” he said, “I went
with a party of friends to visit the
Nebraska State Asylum for the InN
sane. I became separated from the
party and wandered through some of
the rooms alone.
“An inmate approached me, and
seeking to be friendly, said, ‘what
are you in here for?’ ‘Because I be-
lieve in the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,’
I replied, thinking to be facetious,
•Huh,’ said the inmate, moving off in
disgust, ‘You ain’t crazy, you’re just
a plain, dum fool.’ ”
A girl in Maine, who is a church
member, recently officiated at the
ceremony of naming her uncle’s
yacht, and being an ardent Prohibi
tionist, used a bottle of water in
stead of a bottle of wine. Curiouslyi
enough, however, the church of
which she was a member took • the
view that the bottle of wine she did
n’t use probably made some weak
young man drunk, whereas it would
hare banned nobody had she used it
in the ceremony. Therefore it vo
ted to censure her for putting temp
tation in the path of a young man.
A delightful touch to this story,
which is not told as a joke, though it
reads like, is that the young woman
successfully appealed from the action
of the church on two grounds—first,
because out of the millions of bot
tles of wine in the world the church
had failed to designate the particu
lar bottle which she might have used
and, even it it did so, she would
thereupon decide that she would
have used some other bottle; and,
second, the church had not proved
either that the wine was drunk by a
young man or that a young man
was drunk by the wine. In rebuttal
she asserted that the wine was act
ually consumed by old man, who. be
ing a seasoned Prohibitionist, was
therefore able to stand it; and she
challenged the church council to dis-
prove her assertion.

‘What care I for oaste or creed?
It is the deed, it is the deed-
What for class or what for clan?
It is the man, it is the man;
Heirs of love, ana joy, and woe,
Who is high, and who is low?
Mountain, valley, skv and sea
Are for humanity.
“What care 1 for robe or stole?
It is the soul, it is the soul;
What for crown, or what for crest?
It i« the heart within the brea»t;
It is the faith, it is the hope,
It is the struggle up the slope;
It ts the brain and eve to see
One God and one humanity.”

Colored Minister Doubts Mr. Carnegie's
Fifty Dollar Bill.
Andrew Carnegie told a story to a
few friends recently Which has been
repeated confidentially by some or
the older financiers In Wall street,
sayb the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser. During a recent trip in
the south, Mr. Carnegie decided to
attend service in one of the colored
churches, and when Sunday arrived
he carrfed out his intention, taking a
seat in the rear pew. When the
plate was passed be dropped a $50
bill into it. The deacons counted
the money and seemed to be much
excited. After they bad ail exam
ined the hill carefully, they marohod
down to the pulpit, but before the
preacher could begin the short pray
er of thanks for the offering, one oT
the deacons walked around to the
pulpit stairs and whispered in the
minister’s ear, nodding his head to
ward Mr. Carnegie and at the plate.
The minister took the plate and made
this announcement:
“Bre’ren. de Lawd done bin may
good to us dis day. De collection
’moonts to one dollah an’ twenty-fo
cents, an’ et dat fif’y-dollaii bill wha’
dat gray-baired old man satin’ in de
back seat put in de plate am good,
we will hah fif’y-one dollahs an’
twen’y-fo’ cents. Let us t’ank de
Lawd en pray dat it may be a good
bill.”
Mr. Carnegie says he left the
church before the prayer was ended.

CURE FOR CATARRH.
I
A Remedy Which an Old Vlrslntee
Says Is Infallible.
An old Virginia horse breeder who is
visiting In New York claims to have an
Infallible cure for catarrh. ’’It seems to
me,” he said “that 00 per cent of the
people of New York city suffer more
or less from catarrh. If they will do
as I suggest, they can cure themselves
In short order.
“A friend of mine who used to live
In Yonkers bad such a severe case of
catarrh that he was compelled to give
up his business and go to Colorodo.
The doctors told him that the high alti
tude of that state would benefit him.
He remained In Colorado nearly a year
and then found himself as badly off as
when he left Yonkers. After he had
made up his mind that nothing could
cure him and that be might as well
die at home as among strangers bo met
'an old tinker, who gave him the reme
dy, which cured him In three months.
"Dissolve a little powdered alum In a
pint of cider vinegar. Use the solution
as a gargle three or four times a day.
It won't do nny harm If you swnllow
some of tt. Two or three times a day,
but particularly just before going to
bed, dip a chicken feather In vaseline
and stick the feather up the nostrils.
I suppose any contrivance bought at a
drug store for the purpose will do just
as well- ns a chicken feather, but the
old tinker Insisted that there was some
medicinal virtue In the feather.
“The gargle clears the throat and the
lower portions of the air passages from
the nostrils. The vaseline heals the dis
eased condition of the affected parts.
In a week the sufferer will feel better,
and If be will keep up the treatment be
can be assured that he will be cured.’*

Slxklller** Arm a Deadly Weapon.
"Another man has been killed by •
blow of the fist, which suggests the
thought that at times the naked fist of
a man, given proper Impetus by a well
developed biceps. Is an exceedingly
dangerous and destructive Instrument,”
said a man who for many years lived
at Vlnita, In the Cherokee Nation.
"It recalls a bit of history local to the
Indian Territory,” he continued. “Not
far from the Arkansas Hue there lived
a half breed who went by the name of
John SI.'.killer. He was a bad man,'
but not bad In the ordinary southwest
ern way—that is to say, be was not a ;
‘gun fighter.’ although be enjoyed a
general mlxup Immensely, and until j
the Cherokee council intervened be Inri
dulged In many such affrays.
“After three men whom he bad ‘laldj;
out' bad died of their Injuries the coun-S
dl '(tribal legislature) met and passed |
4n act declaring that ‘John Slxklller’ss
right arm Is a deadly weapon’ and that
*he Is forbidden to use It agalnrt an ad
versary except to protect blmstlt from
death or great bodily Injury.’ ”
