AFTER -CHRISTMAS JESTS
lf the small boy ,started early for
the pantry it wasn't to avoid the jam.
As to stuffing, remember that the
turkey could not help it, bus that you
can,
Tem turkey now we do not care,
And to autdeep disgrace,
We would not, if we met one, dare
To look it in the face.
Gobble, gobble, gobble. If the
turkey would only have Varied •his
monstrous remarks, perhaps we
would not have been so ready to do

---
Turkeys who have escaped the
Christmas slaughter, shoutd not put
oe too many airs about it just yet,
as a good many people like turkey on
Neve Year's Day.
Tutkeys which the peptic refueed
to buy at inflated Christutas prices
seem to be feeling bad apout it,
the butcher shop nearly all of them
seem to be hanging their Ilea& in
shame.
Those are moving days. No soon-
er does a man get his Christmae and
New Year's bills paid than 11, begins
saving for 1th summer vacation, end
as soon as he gets on his feet after
vacation, he has to begin "shopping
early." '

TIM SONGS OF ERIN.
Rave Umni.staltable Character of
Where did they spring from, s.a.d
when? Lost tra the miste of tithe,
they have been handed down front
generation to generation, many of
them without a name, butt with the
unmistakable diameter of nationality
In their melodic construction, that
has stamped them as Irish.
Many of thetu are very old, John
McCormack says that "Ireland was
singing when the first breath of his-
tory parted the mists about her
ccrasts," and she has been singing on
the battlefields, among the hills, in
the castle, and the quiet cabin, be-
cause the Irian have always sung, as
if music was as much to them as the
air they breathed. The Irish claim
that their teachers of music belt! the
highest rank as euch in limey Parts or
England a thousand pews ago. So
that the art of the nalltan tetteleir is
an old established profession in Ire-
land. 'rho chief instruments taught
were the harp, and the bagpipe, I3oth
Instruments have changed a good
deal from their original conditiott.
and have been practically superceded
by the piano and violin, but iu the
country districts the bagpipe is still
O familiar Friend of the •cattars.
A feature of limey old folk eongs
is the great compass of vole° teat is
required to sing them, the magi^ of-
ten extends to two octaves, or Morn,
which taxes the singer to the utmost,
and demands complete (enrol of the
upper register of the voicerow
did the bards of long ago manage
this? Yoke production and breath
control, as we understand them to
day, was not known. It is probable
that each einger pitched the eong to
suit his own Vain, and staled (ham,
embellishments to the song .he tang,
which is characteristie of all eat•ly
folk songs.
The songs of Irelene were 1.1 throe
classee. Weeping music, which is
sung at the Oactine (Even). The
eao-iners, or mourners, and those
who sit round the dead body, and
sing, or keen" Inc emirs, and many
Irish songs have a peculiar wail suit-
ed to slice mournful uccasions.
Laughleg inuSlc is anon er khill of
Trish song. There are generally heard
at dances. The titythret is lively and
is sung in a spirited manner and ac-
companied by any instrument that
is available. The eound of MUSIC
With a strong .rhytemic accent ap-
peals with great force to the Walt
peasant. Their feeling Inc rhythm
appears to be inherent, They can't
keep their feet, still when music of
this class is being played, and it is
said that an Irish peasant will gladly
take down his cottage door, to that
Ile may hear the tap of the feet as
Ole fiddler plays his inspiring notes.
Sleeping muses is another elan, of
Irish music which consists of those
low, Crooning, plaintive. airs, that one
associates with the cradle, and which
has sung a popular appeal to all
classes. These tunes vary greatly ac-
cording to the district in whichthey
ore sung. A tune sung in Killarney
would sound very different In Ath-
lone, the principle notes would be
the - same, -but the variations, or
adormnents that are alwaYs added,
erequently obscures the real tune to
stieh an extent that it is only by 11s -
toning attentively that the similarity
te detectede,
Many Irish folk songs have been
Incorporated in operas, and other
works. Handel has an Irish jig, In
"Ads and Galatea." Mendelssohn
wrote it fantasia ori Irish Tunes.
Beethoven and Haydn tilted Them, and
Ireland has produced her own, big
men, In Field, William Wallace, im••
&met Balfe, and coming doyen to more
'modern times in such men as Stast-
ford, Victor Herbert and Hamilton
Harty, not to forgot Dr. Annie Pat-
terson or Cork, who is said to be
