Show Irish International Exhibition Buildings. Dublin is just now entertaining a vast number of visitors called to her gates by the Irish international exhibition, exhi-bition, which was opened to the public May 4. This great undertaking is housed in a handsome structure and partakes something of the nature of the big fairs such as have been held in this country anjcl in Paris in recent years, although it is not on such an extensive scale. The exposition is drawing a large number of visitors from England and all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as many Americans who are on that side of the oce.in at the present time. The exhibition exhi-bition is a comprehensive one. show ing as it does the resources of the country, its manufactures and industries, as well as those of other countries. Several members of the royal family of- England Eng-land have Aisited the show and it is quite likely that King Edward will see the exhibition before it is closed. A New Fable for Critics. A young mule, who had ben cri'led a donkey by ignorant pev-ons till lie grew restive under the inipu.tn.ti jn, made inquiry of his mother as to r.ny possible inheritance of mentality that might be coming to him. "My son,' said the aged Sh? Ass, "owing to your exceptional parentage, you cannot have both mother wit and horse sense. The time hris come-: for you to choose one f the two." "I fall to see any difference between the terms, as commomy used," j-jilitd the mule. "I really cannot make a choice." "I perceive," said h? mother, regretfully, regret-fully, "that you resemble a. famous ancestor an-cestor of yours, who oe.viivie mixed up with duplicate bundles of hay. to his undoing." "I can support the consc'CUaness of that fact," said the mule, "o long as it does not become noise! abroad. Is there no way in which I can conceal it from the world?" "There is." the parent responded, after a moment's thought, "and it i.? this: in case of a dispute, soize !n: first opinion that comes handy and stick to it till the crack of doom. In this way you will get a reputation of know-in? know-in? your mind, without necessarily knowing anything at all." The young mule, being a levei-head-ed young mule, acted upon this advice and made a name for himself as a t-y-nonymn for firmness. Moral Utilize your limitation-. If you cannot make money, yc.-j may fit-tain fit-tain to fame by pointing out the criminality crim-inality of wealth. Puck. |
