Meaning of the’Green Gough;- J’be custom of placing Ugreen bough , on the roof of a newly, hollt house is not confined to Germany,1 but was adopted by "the French Canadians, who brought It with them from Brit­ tany. The custom- originated *from the superstition prevalent centuries ago that every tree is Inhabited by- a spirit; consequently it was believed that every time a tree was felled an­ other spirit WAS dispossessed^aud this was supposed to cause spine bitterness on his part against society. Rather than risk, having these homeless and disgruntled spirits vent their ill fee); ing upon the bpusea under construction or upon ilie builders • branch was planted on. the highest part of. the bouse for their occupancy*' They were then supposed; to he mollified, and if they remained so .until the roof was put on any evil design contemplated would -prove harmless, for the spell would bp broken. Brazil Found by Accidsnt. Amerigo Vespucci made the first map of Brazil, although only of the coast line, and it was the publication of this map that led to the fixing of the name of the new World, Brazil itself ’was revealed to Europeans in 1500 by an nccldent—the drifting out of ita course of a Portuguese expedition. The coun­ try indirectly owes its modem ad­ vancement to Napoleon. To esenpe from the conqueror King John of Por­ tugal fled to his dominions in America and. believing Portugaldost to the roy­ al family,'.set about putting Brazil upon Acivilized basis by throwing open its ports to the whole World, A Bit ef Forestry. “Do you know how to tell a hard wood tree from a soft wood tree?’" said a forester. **Pll tell you how to. do it, and the rule bolds good not ouiy here among our familiar pines and walntits, but in the antipodes among the. strangest banyans, baobabs and whatnots, Soft wood trees have nee­ dle leaves, slim, narrow, almost uni­ form in breadth, if yoq don’t believe me consult the pine, the spruce or the fir. Hard wood trees have broad feaves.of various sbnpe-tha oak, the ebony, the walnut, the mahogany and so on.” Sh« Doesn't Shut Up. Mr. Flstte—Did you bear wfast be caljed his wife?

Dublin, the cnttitnl. is as distinctly different froln Belfast ns Washington in from Pittsburgh, for Dublin has few industrial plants awj Is a hotbed of politics. It has many historic spots, fine monuments, wide streets, a splen­ did university, a fine castle- and a cathedral where file famous Dean Swift Occupied the pulpit for years.

It seems that half the residents there have friends of relative* in the United States, and one is continually hearing stories of tlieie friends. The majority of the Irish who return to Ireland seem to oi>en up a business In Cork, for 1count­ ed no less than a dozen shops on Pat­ rick street with the word “American” attached to their signs.. There was an American haberdasher, an American book store, an American photographic studio And an American lace store.
