Tim nrernlent Idea has been for some

femininity of her English cousins. The
American woman has also prouuiy
intmml that she was the pioneer In
women's occupations, and that there
are more trades ana proiessiou opcu
to women In America than anywhere
else on the globe. A book Just, pub

Among the numerous occupations may

The Harp of Brian Born.
What professes to be the original
harp of Brian Boru Is preserved In the
library of Trlulty College, Dublin; but
Its history, which Is now more clearly
traced does not bear out the popular
tradition as to Its origin. It belonged,
probably, to the Illustrious sept of
O'Neill, and was, In all likelihood, made
for one of the two noted prelates of
that name. It Is a curious fact that It
it ninvpri on bv one of that fam
ily, though at that time Its real origin
was not suspected; for the eminent
Arthur O'Neill woke Its slumbering
music at Limerick In 17U0, aud It has
ever since remained silent.
