SECRETARYSHIP
FOR OLD IRELAND
POSITION WITH MULTIFARI.
OUS WORRIES.
Malty Famous and Brilliant Men Have
Occupied the.
Office.
The rumored appointment of the Rb.
Hon. Lewis Harcourt to succeed Mr.
I3irreli Ile Chief Secretary for Ireland
was followed quickly by the an-
nouncement that he could not accept
the post because of ill -health. In fill-
ing that office the Prime Minister's
choice will be limited to the Liberal
members of the Cabinet. For Mr.
Birrell, the late Chief Secretary, was,
of course, a Liberal, and it seems to
have been part of the terms of coali-
tion that when a Minister resigns, the
Minister appointed to succeed him
should be of the same political party.
Siiice the union between Great
Britain and Ireland, something like
half a hundred men (more or leas).
have held the office of Irish Secre-
tary. Many of them have held that.
office more than once. Among their
names are included the names of many
famous and many brilliant men. But
only four men who Have ever held that
office have subsequently attained the
Premiership. Those four men are
the Duke of Wellington, who, as Sir
Arthur Wellesley, was Chief Secre-
tary in 1807; Sir Robert 'Peel, who
held that office in 1812; Lord Mel-
bourne, who, as the Hon. William
Lamb, held it in 1827; and Mr. Bal-
four, the present First Lord of the
Admiralty, who held it from 1887 to
1891. One Irish Secretary (Lord
Frederick Cavendish) was murdered.
Several had years added to their age,
one, in particular, the Rt. Hon. W. E.
Forster, known as "Buckshot" For-
ster, by reason of his instructions that
in firing on rioters buckshot was to
be used in place of bullets, being turn-
ed into a prematurely old man.
The Real Ruler of Ireland.
The Chief Secretary for Ireland is
not one of the principal secretaries of
State—in fact, he is not really a Sec-
retary of State at all. His full title
is Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland. But though the
Irish executive is formally vested in
the Lord Lieutenant in Council, that
is to say, in the Privy Council in Ire-
land, the real ruler of Ireland, the
officer responsible to the Imperial
Parliament, is the Chief Secretary.
Curiously enough the formal medium
of communication between the Sove-
reign and the Lord Lieutenant of Ire-
land is not the Chief Secretary. Gen-
orally speaking, the Lord Lieutenant's
position is that of a constitutional
representative of a constitutional
Sovereign, but this position in some
ways becomes somewhat modified
when, as sometimes happens, the
Lord Lieutenant is also a Cabinet
Minister. The present Lord Lieuten-
ant does not happen to be a Cabinet
Minister. Indeed, when the Chief
Secretary has a seat in the Cabinet,
the Lord Lieutenant generally has not
but when the latter has such a seat
and the Chief Secretary has not, then
the Chief Secretary takes a secondary
position, in fact as well as in name.
The Secretary's Salary.
In any event, it is of the utmost im-
portance that the Lord Lieutenant
and the Chief Secretary should be
in complete accord. The former is by
far the better paid, receiving $100,000
a year, while the salary of. the Chief
Secretary is $22,125—less than is re-
ceived by thirteen of his Cabinet col-
leagues.
The Chief Secretary is, by statute,
keeper of the Irish Privy Seat,
President of the Irish Local Govern-
ment, and Home Secretary for Ire-
land, all in one. Ireland, it should
be noted, still retains much of its own
governmental apparatus—its own
Privy Council, administrative officers,
law officers (Lord Chancellor, Attor-
ney -General and Solicitor -General),
and law courts, the last being at pre-
sent subject to the appellate jurisdic-
tion of the House of Lords, although
when the Home Rule Act comes into
operation, such appellate jurisdiction
will be exercised not by the House of
Lords, but by the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council.
The Reason Why.
There had been a very forlorn ap-
pearance about Mary Ann of late, and
Mrs. Pokernose fancied she knew the
reason why. At least, if she didn't,
she meant to. "Mary," she said,
"what has become of that nice young
butcher who used to come round, and
was ro attentive toward you?" Mary
produced a pocket -handkerchief. "He
got married," she wailed. "And
since he got married he dont come
round any more," "Married!" ex-
claimed Mrs. Pokernose. 'But I al-
ways thought he would marry you?"
"Well," answered Mary, bursting into
uncontrollable sobs, "he did."

DAME BELANGER TALKS OF
DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.
Tells How They Cured Her Rheums.
tism and Made Her so Well She
Could Work Without Fatigue.
St. Amateur, Gloucester Go, I.B.,
May 22nd (Special,) ,—Cured of rheu-
inatism, from which: she has been a
severe sufferer, Dame Pierre Belan-
ger, well known and highly respected
here, is tellingher friends that Dodd's
Kidney Pills ave made her well.
"I considerDodd's Kidney Pills one
of the best friends I have," Dame Be-
langer states. "I had rheumatism
and the pains in my limbs caused me
a great deal of suffering.
"I took six boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and they made me well.. My
pains are all gone, and I can now
work without being fatigued. I will
always keep Dodd's Kidney Pills in
the house."
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure rheuma-
tism because ib is caused by sick kid-
neys. Rheumatism is caused ,hy uric
acid in the blood. If the kidneys are
healthy and doing their full work
they strain all the uric acid out of the
blood, and there can be no rheuma-
tism. Dodd's Kidney Pills always
make the kidneys well. They take
away that tired feeling by ensuring
pure blood and good circulation.
PEOPLE MORE POLITE NOW.
War Has Wrought Great Changes in
Men and Women.
War has brought about an increase
of politeness between men and women
in France, says observers of life in
Paris.
It has introduced an entirely new
policy in the relations of the sexes.
The most cross-grained wife almost
has ceased to complain, the most
grumbling husband is mute. On both
sides there are polite advances, an air
of kindness and mutual . understand-
ing which .each one very loyally is
trying to create.
This desire of social comity is not
introduced by the wife and the hus-
band into the home alone, but is shown
in almost all their acts, towards in-
feriors and equals as well.
All those who come in contact with
the public professionally, says a writ-
er in the Paris Temps, "will admit
that we have grown more polite since
the war. Persons to -day are ashamed
of little displays of impatience or of
little deceptions whieb would have
made them howl twaFty months ago.
When about to make a scene for the
most trivial motive, the most violent
woman becomes suddenly calm, realiz-
ing that anger has been mobilized
like everything else and it must not
be wasted."
Footing the Bill.
Mr. Newman had just recovered
from an operation and was talking to
a friend.
"The surgeon," he remarked, "said
he'd have me on my feet again in
three weeks."
"Well, he did it, didn't he?" asked
the friend.
"He did, indeed:," responded Mr.
Newman. "I had to sell my motor
car to pay his bill."
"He who has health
has hope,
And he who has hope
has everything."

LUCKY AND UNLUCKY THINGS.
They Are Applied to Every Possible
Event in Life.
"Lucky" and "unlucky" have come
to be applied to gathering blossoms,
to horseshoes, to the color of hair, to
your manner of "saying things"—in
a word, to every possible event in life.
It is unlucky to "have a dead blos-
som"; it is unlucky bo go out with
your "shoelaces untied"—the latter we
naturally believe; it is unlucky to
bring "hawthorn -blossoms within the
house''; it is "lucky to hear the
cricket." The latter is, of course, sup-
posed to bring luck into the house.
Very lucky it is to find a spider on
your clothes; it is called' a money-
spinner in many parts of the world.
Feather -beds should not be turned
on a Sunday. If your teeth grow
widely apart you will be traveller. If
you have a mole on your back you
will have money by the sack. On the
other hand, a mole at the base of the
neck shows that "you will be hanged."
Caesar, Napoleon, Bismarck, and
!others were not above the superstition
of "lucky" and "unlucky" days. Thurs-
Iday w:is the "unlucky" day of Henry
VIII., of his son Edward, and of his
!daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. Isn't
I it strange that they all should have
I died upon this day? But'it is a fact.

Dr. Fisher confined his work to ex-
cavating in the cemeteries adjacent to
the ancient city, with the result that
he got many archaelogical specimens,
ranging from the second dynasty to
the Byzantine Empire, or from about
5500 B.C. to 500 A.D. There are few
places in the world where such results
could be obtained in a single spot.
Denderah is one of the mostancient
of the world's cities, its origin being
lost in myth. It became the seat of
the worship of Hathor (Venus), the
cow -headed goddess much revered by
Egyptians. Traces of the earliest
civilization were found in the graves.
The most remarkable find was a
necklace with several cornelian beads
inscribed with the cartouche of Sesos-
tris. These are the first inscribed
beads ever found in Egypt. Sesostris,
so far as the name' goes, is mythical,
but he is identified with a Pharoah
of the twelfth dynasty (about 3500
B.C., according to Petrie). This king
is said to have conquered the whole
world. pest, and many valuable lives may be

To Kill Flies in Houses.
Mix two tablespoonfuls (one ounce)
of 40 per cent formalin with one pint
(10 ounces) of equal parts of milk and
water. This mixture should be ex-
posed in shallow plates, with a piece
of bread placed in the centre on which
the flies alight and feed. By an early
and active campaign of fly destruction,
great inroads may be made upon this
The necklace was found on a ma-
ture woman, who may have been a
daughter of the great king or one of
his favorites. It consists of several
strands and is a beautiful piece of
work. As the Egyptian Government
claims half of all discoveries and has
first choice, Dr. Fisher expected to
lose it, but the authorities were $o
impressed with the thoroughness of
Dr. Fisher's work that they divided
the necklace, giving the University
Museum the larger half.
The authorities were also liberal in
allowing the museum to retain the
bulk of the discoveries; but retained a
remarkable lapus lazuli frog with
golden eyes, some bronze pieces, in-
cluding a battleaxe, and 500 pieces of
pottery, statuettes, necklaces, bronze
mirrors and notable stelae from the
tombs of noted leen in many ages.
These stelae are of great importance
as bearing on history. They were
placed in the interior of the tombs
and contained carved illustrations
from the life of the dead, with hiero-
glyphic inscriptions telling of their
deeds.
In the earliest graves -about .34O00
years old—children were found taller]
beside a cow or calf, ,evidently. to
nourish the dead. One infant Was
found in a large jar along with a' dos.
