Is the Shamrock Modern ? ‘The antiquity of the shamrock as an Irish national emblem 1s assailed. The learned and painstaking Dr. P. W. Joyce sayst “It ts not easy to determine the origin of the Irish custom of wearing a bunch of shamrocks in the hat on St. Patrick's day—the 17th of March. According to the popular belief it commemorates an incident in the life of St. Patrick—that om @ certain ocoasion, when he was explaining the mystery of the Trinity to the pagan Irish, he took up a single shamrock and pointed out the three leaves growing from one stem: to illustrate the, doctrine of tho three persons in one God. But this story must be an in- vention of recent times, for we find no mention of {t in eny of the old lives of the saint. Neither are we able to say that the custom iteelf is of any higher antiquity; for though it 1s now observed by the Irish all over the world, and though it 1s mentioned by a few writers of the last 200 o7 900 years—as, for instance, by Thomas Dinvly in 1675, who describes how the Irish wore crosses and shamrocks on Bt. Patrick's day—yet we find no allusion to it én anctent Irten ! writings.” Pointed Paragraphs. ; A man who can't talk and will talk should be muzzled, Never judge a man’s knowledge by the things he says, Tt {s usually the painstaking man who manages to avoid In, Parhe mightiness of the hairpin excceds that of both tha pen and the sword. ‘A man knows what to do én the hour of danger as long as the danger doesn't show up.
