In Ireland many locnl traditions about St. Patrick are ideutiiied with rivers and mountains those natural monuments which time cannot efface; but Ireland is not the only country where these monu ments of nature give evidence of the saint's passage. France also bears testi mony to St. Patrick in the mysterious Fleurs de St. Patrice and the venerable Eglise de St. Patrice, situated in the dio cese of ours, on the banks of the Loire, a few leagues distant fron the City of St Martin. St. Patrick was a disciple of St. Martin of Tours, with whom he spent four years after, his escape .from Ireland and from whom he received the tonsure and was thus made a cleric. Men have doubted of St. Patrick's presence at Tours, but the fact of that presence is proved by the traditions and monuments which are bound up with the beautiful legend of Les Flours de St. Patrice and their blossoming every year in midwinter for the past 1,500 years. But what arc the Fleurs de St Patrice? The most reliable account of these mys terious flowers is the one given by Mgr. Chcvallier, president of the Archaeolog ical Society of Tours, in 1850. He writes as follows: "On the banks of the Loire, a few leagues from Tours, a very remarkable phenomenon is repeated year by year,' one concerning which science as yet has gven no satisfactory explanation. This phenomenon, too little known, consists in the .blossoming, in the midst of the rigors of winter, of the blackthorn (Prunus spinoza), commonly called the sloe. This remarkable shrub is to be found at St. Patrice, upon the slope of a hill not far from the Chateau de Rochette. The circulation of the sap, which should ba suspended in -winter, is plainly revealed by the moist state of the bark, which easily separates from the wood which it covers. The buds swell, the flowers ex pand as in the month of April and cover the boughs with odorous and snowlike flowers, while, a few leaves timidly ven ture to expose their delicate verdure to the icy north wind.) To the flowers suc ceeds the fruit, autJTat the beginning of January a small berry appears,-attached to a long peduncle in the midst of the withered and discolored petals, which soon shrivels and dries up. This singular growth of flowers is al ii most unknown, although it has been re peated every year from time immemorial. The oldest inhabitant of St. Patrice has always seen it take place at a fixed period of the year, no matter how severe the season may be, and such has also been the ancient tradition of their forefathers, while the legend we are about to relate attributes a very remote origin to the fact; but, as the shrub itself appears quite young, it is probable that it is re newed from the roots. However, thi phenomenon is limited to the locality and to the shrub in question. Cuttings trans planted elsewhere have only blossomed in the spring, and the hawthorns which grow amid the sloes do not manifest any circulation of sap. In the year 1850 the flowers were in bloom from Christmas until the 1st 'Of January that is, at a time when the thermometer was almost always below the -freezing point. Although growing on the slope of a hill, this shrub is in no way sheltered from , the north wind. Its branches are incrusted with hoar frost, the icy northeast wind blows violently among them, and it often happens that the shrub is. loaded at, one and the same time with the snow of winter and the pnow of its own flowers. The inhabitants of St. Patrice record an ancient tradition which is full of freshness and poetry. St. Patrick, it is said, being on his way from Ireland to join St. Martin in Gaul attracted by the fame of the saint's sanctity and miracles and having arrived at the bank of the Loire near the spot where the church now bearing his name has been built, rested under a shrub. It was Christmas time, when the cold was intense. In honor of the saint the shrub expanded its branches and, shaking off the snow which rested on them, by an unheard of nroHicv ar rayed itself in flowers white as the snow itself. St. Patrick crossed the Loire on his cloak, and on reaching the opposite bank another blackthorn under whicn he rested at once burst out into flowers. Since that time, says the chronicler, the two shrubs have never ceased to blossom at Christmas in honor of St. Patrick. Such is the account given by Mgr Chevallier in 1831. Father William Mori ris visited it- 30 years later, in 1881, and writes that he was struck by the extraor dinary beauty and luxuriance of the foli age on the trees "it was so denso rm the ground upward that it was impossible uisungmsn tne stem" and he could American LEflHHS FROM U.S. H0!i!f TO KEEP WELL Health Methods-Enormous -Demand For Paine's Celery Compound MISS STONE AND COMPANION.

The de mand for Paine's celery compound has grown to enormous proportions. The following statement from E. J. Molina of the Havana Custom House shows the standing Paine's has already secured among the most progressive, energetic people of Havana: Havana, Cuba, Feb. 4, 1901. Wells & Richardson Co. : . . Dear Sirs I take great pleasure in stating that I have used your Paine's celery compound, both while in the United States as well as in this city, and find it to be of wonderfully re storative power, especially in this enervating climate. Very truly yours, E J. MOLINA. Molina is but one of many prom inent Cubans who have publicly ad vised the use of Paine's celery com pound, basing their recommendations on tbe benefit they themselves have derived from its use. . Not only among business men, law yers, clergymen, and physicians, but among all classes of thoughtful, intel ligent people. Paine's celery com pound is the one reliable remedy for building up the system when it is run down. It is the greatest nerve and brain invigorator the world has ever known. If your wife, daughter or sister is pale, languid, headachy and irritable, persuade her to try Paine's celerv compound. If your husband, son or brother cannot eat, sleep or work, and drowsy, dyspeptic and despond ent, induce him to take Paine's celery compound. It restores a worn and weak nervous system to healthy vigor. There can be no substitute for Paine's celery compound. - , A Treasure That Waa Picked Up at a Rommace Sale. There is a dear old lady on North Charles street who for years cherished a hope that some day she might be fortu nate enough to discover the mate to a splendid old andiron that had been in her possession for many decades. It was an exquisite piece of brass, and its shape and carvings were so unique that its in dividuality was firmly established. Every one of the old lady's kith and kin ha.'l searched diligently for the old and iron's fellow, but without success. The owner herself had ransacked every junk shop and secondhand store in half the big cities of the east. Finally she reluctant ly came to the conclusion that the twin andiron must be lost to her forever. Recently, on being Invited to contribute to a "rummage sale," she sent the old brass, not without a tear of regret at Its departure. That same day the old lady's daughter, acting as one of the patronesses to the "rummage," beheld an old andiron which caused her heart to leap into her throat "It 's it is the very twin of mam ma's!" she cried. "Won't the dear old girl be pleased?" The young matron dug down in her purse, brought up $13.65 and fairly bub bled with joy to think that at last, after all these years, she was the one to find the missing and long sought for Andiron. Do you think she told them to "send it tip?" Not she. A cab was ordered, and into it went the old brass and its fair purchaser. At last the andiren was In the hallway, and the maid was bringing mamma down to "see something." "There, you dear old love, there's the mate to your old brass!" "Goodness gracious, Susan, where did you ever get it? And to think I've part ed with minef' I found it at the 'rummage,' dear.

Powers sat pale and motionless when the verdict was announced by tbe foreman, B. 8. Calvert, his old school mate. Opposite Powers, on the other side of tbe court room with the attor neys, sat Arthur Goebel. brother of tne late (Governor, with his eyes fixed on theprisoner.
