AN AIII_IDESS ARMY.
"Oyrwavd, Christian Soldiers" Is the
' Salvation Army's Motto.
There is an army which has thou-
sands of corps and outposts, a gen-
eral, lieutenant colonels, adjutan-s,
majors, staff captains, corporals, and
millions of soldiers, yet no ---arms.
What can this giant, unarmed
force be? asks Answers. It is the
world-famoue Salvation Army.
The growth of this army has be.en
a veritable romance. Although only
started in 1865, and reorganized in-
to its present forra twelve years
gl otebre,. it has expanded phenomenelly
and le

While their beginning was of the
humblest, to -day the military uni-
forms, caps, bonnets, and bands of
the Salvationists are familiar In
eighty-three different countries, and
members of the army speakoverfit y
different languages in the course of
-their world-wide ministrations.
With their 'romantic growth le
numbers their funds have expanded
to match, and to -day the general in
command has control of holds and
assets ranging from $100,000,000 lo
$150,000,000.
Most of the funds are raised in-
ternally, but for over forty years thm
have made a speciality of "Self -Den

Testimony to the army's work
among women and children is given

IRISH GOLD.ORNANATS
00.1.41.1 WAS FQ1.1.N.D IN IRELAND IN
1606 B.C.
Lady Visitor Mutt Impressed hi' Die
Collection to Be Seen 10 lite Na-
tional Museum, Dublin-- St. Pat-
rick's Dell.
The first time 1 visited thr; Na -
tonal Museum of Science' and Art at
Dublin, writes Grace V. Kelly 10
Cleveland. Plain Dealer, 1 was so
much impressed by t1i4 collection of
anelent Irish 'gold, ornaments that
concentrated iny atteution on theme
to the exclusion of everything else.
These ornaments, made and worn
in the bronze age, were hidden in
bog -s, caves and graves, until smile
accident or another brought them to
light again.
The gold was found in Wicklow
and the „first known use of it was
made in 1,500 B.C., when the gold
collars known as lunulae were worn
by the kings and the great warriors.
The lunulae are, half paeans of
gold, beaten very thin, and they must
have been the lovely things around
kingly necks. They are the lovely
things now, displayed itt eases in the
gold room at the museum. For this
collectioii is so important and it so
far outranks any other gold collection
in western Europe that it has a room
to itself. In fact, it outranks all the DONNYBROQK •
prehistoric gold collectioes in western

Europe put together.
I've been told that these amount to
SO pounds in all, wbile the Irish col-
lection. has 300 of gold. Thirty-nine
lunulaehave remained to the Irisb,
while a few have gone to the British
and other museums.
After the lunulae came tbe gars
gets, crescent shaped, and collars ela-
borately tooled and decorated. Five
of these gorgets are in the museum
collection, and others are in private
collections.
These ornaments seem to have
been peculiar to Ireland, for their
like has been found in no other place.
The objects were found singly or :n
great ends, such as Great Clare Find
ha 1854. This ,find contained the
largest number of gold 'ornaments of
the Bronze Age discovered in Ireland
or in all western Europe and is very
remarkable and important.
Three laborers svho were digging
for a railway at Ballykilty, County
Clare, accidently turned up the treas-
ure with their spades and sold it iin-
medately for whatever they could get.
So it became scattered through pri-
vate 'collections, and thirteen rings
from it are in the British Museum,
But Ireland was lucky after all, for
thirteen of the 'most inctOortant pieces
Lound their way to the National
Museum.
Gorgets and bracelets are in the
collection at the museum, and cup -
ended fibulae of various sizes and
great ingots of pure gold.
Another kind of ornament, featur-
ed largely in the gold collection. was
the torque. This was a twisted rib-
bon of gold which was worn about
the waist. This ornament is known
to have been worn in many countries
but the style was set in Ireland, as
in the ease of the lunulae. .Numbers
of these were acquired through the
finds, and again the National Museum
was lucky in getting an adequate
share of them..
• Atinlets, rings, earrings, discs and
huge gold balls are other objects -n1
the collection. Not one "or two rtf
them, but many examples. At she;
• museum they'll always tell you about
the great finds. The )3roighter find,
the County Cavan, and all the Is me
where the earth gave tip its hidden
gold.
All of these occurred in the B.0
period and is very wonderful, but
when the attendant really wants if;
impress emu, elime you several
A.D. objects, and tell you that these
are the most important it, the
collectiou.
One of these it the famous atter
brooch which was made about '700
£D., and was found in 3850 011 i
strand' near, Drogh era, County Meath .
Many -other brooches are in the col-
lection, but thetwat tara brooch is
the king of tbem all. So sound is it
in its designing and so free! And so
exquisite is the material and the
workmanship. The mystery Jf 135
story is around it, there in the rase
at the museum! What king wore it
