it was a fitting emblem ot the Trinity, j
Consequently tL* re is little donbt that i
be used it as an iilnstratiou. How the
little fiction that it is a distinct plant I
and will grow only iu Irflaud h:is been
maintained so long p.-ibp iiiconpre-
bensible unless it is ciuc to the pecnl-
iarity of Englishmen vluii regarding
most things Irish. It i- aJmont as ab-
anrd as r^carding Lever's characters as
typical of tLe Irishmati of today, prob-
ably of any day, ts be4 sp;.>. ;.rs to have
bad as great agenin" in i;:. ntingchar-
acters as in invent :i.p Ktorics. Ireland
largely owes its clovers a:.d shamrocks
to its limestone. Around Dublin, where
limestone is nut very prevah-nr, the in-
ferior type cf clover, t•:< yeikiw trefoil,
ia coiumonl.v employed as: a ba('go, its
convenient shape, ov.ingto its top root,
rendering it convcuk nt us a Lnttonbole
flower.
In limestone districts the white clo-
ser is more commonly n-td, though
there is no definite rule, as is shown by
the specimens collected ly natives in
all parts of Ireland now to be s< < ti in the
Dublin musenm. These specimens were
allowed to eo to flower, and four dis-
tinct varieties of clover are represented,
each frequently. Even the large red
clover is included. There is no other
plant shown, because theie is no other
shamrock. The myth is destroyed, but
the clovers remain, and it is due to
their presence that the Irish pastures are
so rich and so valuable for grazing,
They have accumulated fertility, and
they have done so in England. There-
fore their presence iu lawns n;irt not
be regarded as prejudicial. —Loudon

Superstitious About Thirteen.
Augustin Daly, of \v hose company
Mi. .Tames Lewis was a member for
over 25 years, said of him: "It is a co-
incidence that be was buried on Sept.
13, feir he alway.s hatl the strongest fear
of the number 13 and of Friday. I don't
know that he was a snperstitictfc man
in other respects, though, no donbt. bo
would object to humming the Macbeth
music in tbe theater, but he had great
fears on that point. He never wanted
to begin anything on the 13th of the
month or on Friday. If I had a new
part to give him and it would natural-
ly he delivered to him on either of those
days he would ask me not to let him
have it until the next day or to give it
to him on the day before. I don't know
that he had ever suff< red any misfortune
on either of those days to confirm bim
in his fears.
"My own experience has been quite
^ r<vers« of unlucky with re*gard to

he mat,e one of h>s own greatest suc-

was S {!. 13. too, the date of his burial,
ami it was the beginning of Miss Clara
Morris under my engagement, when he
played J>ir Patrick Lundy in "Man and
Wife." The fear of No. 13 extended
further than this. Mr Lewis would
never sleep in room 13 at a hotel. He-
would rather walk the floor of some
other room all night without a bed.
And he woulei m-\er accept se-ction No.

I'reeding and Catching Leeches For the
New York Market.
James Partit and his children earn
all the money they make raising leech-
es, for the work of breeding the blood-
suckers on the Partit farm on Toms
river, naar Lacy, N. J., is nothing com-
jMstil with the labor of catching them.
W wary letch will take bold of nothiug
but human flesh, so the members of the
Partit family, big and little, plunge
their legs into tho swamp and draw
them up presently with the prey at-
tached.
Farmer Partit doesn't seem to think
a little blood jetting hurts one.
"7 bey lire ns goeid as a dose of spring
pi y.sic," says he. "Why, me and the
boys eel so fat and healthy deiing nothing
ali winter that we need something like
this to keep us iu order. If we fished
too long at a time, they might do seune
harm, but w* know when te> stop. Aft-
er the season is ovui we feel fresher \nd
bitter than if wr hadn't been leeching.
TL y are just like mosquitoes—they

down in this wet place if it wasn't for
the let ches. No man couid wade through
such a mudhole w ithout getting malaria
unless something helped 1 m. "
His farm yields 500,000 leeches a
year, and the price is 20 or 30 cents for
lOsi, giving in annual income of $1,000
to the family. The market is New York
or Philadelphia, where the leeches are
distributt d to the tiaeie.

Tbe test of
were n ritten by the dramatists of the
seventeenth century, men who trolled
out tL^ir vigaroEB sentiments, linked
sweetly together in flowing verse, with-
out the smallest thought or tear of
shocking anybody. Frankly indecorous
they invite the whole wido world to
drink with them, to empty tbe brim-
ming tankard passed from band to hand
and to reel home through the frosty
: streets, where the watchman grins at
their unsteady steps, and quiet sleepers,
awakened from dull dreams, echo with
drowsy sympathy the last swelling oa-
deuce of their uproarious song. Where
there is no public sentiment to defy
even bacchanalian rioters and baccha-
nalian verses cease to be defiant. What
admirable good temper and sincerity in
Fletcher's generous importunity!
Drink today ami drorra nil sorrow;
Yon tthall perhaps uut du it tomorrow.
Best, while you have it, cse your hreath;
There is no driukuig utter death.
Then let us svrill, boys, for our health.
Who drinks well loves the commonwealth.
And he that w iii to bed go sober
Falls with the le;.f, still in ex-tober.
Upon this song successive changes
have been sung, until new its variations
are bewildering, and to it we owe tbe
ever popular and utterly indefensible
glee roared out for generations by many
a lusty tavern chorus:
He who goes to bed iir.d goes to bed sober
Falls as the leaves du end dies in October,
But be who goes to txd and jrocs to bed mellow
Lives as he ought to do and dies an hottest
fellow.

The (Safety Point In Floon.
Probably less is i nowu by architects
and structural engineers i -garuing the
safety of floors tlian of any ether por-
tion of a building. Tbe relative cost of
the steel beams in a floor, as compared
with tbe terra cotta or other filling, has
caused some builders to go to an ex-
treme in increasing the spans between
beams, thus greatly increasing the risk
of dcetrnciion by fire, even though there
may be ample strength in the "hrfiiwp

Solidified Petroleum.
The claim some time ago set forth by
Paul d'Humy, a French naval officer,
of having originated a process for the
successful solidification of petroleum
for commercial and industrial purposes
has been further explained by bim.
From this account, summarized in The
Progressive Age, it appears that heavy
common oil has been converted by this
inventor into a -olid block, as hard as
the hardest e-oai, burning slowly, giv-
ing oft an intense heat and showing
not the slightest sign of melting, a ton
of such fuel representing as many as 30
tons of coal, aud the space ex**upied by
one ton of it being about three cubic
feet, as against the large space rt-quired
for the coal. At a recent gathering of
experts, M. d'Humy exhibited samples
of the article and experimented w ith
them. Oil the table were several cakes
of the sedidified petroleum and of low
grade oils of various sizes and shapes,
and in addition to the cakes there were
samplers cf tit** same fuel 111 dry powder
and paste, the petroleum powder and
paste mixed tog. tie r aud pressed form-
ing a homogeneous mass, w ltb a great
specific gravity, hard almost as stone,
and. when burning, giving c.ll a fiarau
300 times as ow n volume and a heat
well nigh as gre*a*. as oxygen. Tests to
determine the production of smoke or
smell failed to indicate the emanation
