[left Dublin early one morning, and after traveling all day arrived at Dupn- more at about five in the afternoon. This | was as far as I was able to go by train; 80 hiring a car I determined to push on | by road, and if possible reach my destina- | tion that night. My ‘‘Jarvey,” as the drivers are called in Ireland, was like most of the Irish asant class, a dull, anything but a upny being, vet, withal, as Tonga | pertinacious at a bargain as a Maltese, | My particular specimen was not at all 8 bad natured fellow. I found him merely uninteresting and dull. In vain I asked him for information as to the various houses we passed —what rents per acre were usually paid in this dis- trict! What hesupposed was the popu- lation of that? To nearly all my ques tions he replied, with generally very little variety of expression :—*‘Well, surr, 1 don’t rightly know.” Then he would turn his mare, with a “Get up, Molly,” at the same time giving his reins a twitch, and administering what he would have called a “shkerrup” with his whip. The road, like most Irish roads, was bad. Perhaps the truffic was so smal that itwas not considered necessary to keep it in repair. Anyway, we jolted ou remorselessly, evasperatingly. “I trust your springs are strong” 1 asked, presently. ‘0, they're strong enough, surr.” The man was either not altogether truthful or no springs were yet made which could have withstood the loose stones we found scattered along our path. After two or three more than ordinarily severe jolts, I found myself lying on the road. The off-side spring had broken, and, as a conse uence, the balance of the car had been upset, and with it myself. “What are you going to do now?” 1 asked, angrily, “Well, surr, I don't rightly know,” replied the man, impeturbably. ‘“‘How far is it to the next v lage?” “Well, surr, I I knew what he was going to say, so cut him short. “Can't you ask? *“There’s nowan to ask." The man was right th's time. We appeared to be in a bleak, barren part of the country, without a human being in sight, far or near. 80 I scrambled up to the top of a mud tank and recon: I was now some the road level, and able to command a fairly ex tensive prospect.

As to the process of ex tracting the oil, we are not fully advised, but think it is neither difficult nor ex pensive to one who understands the busi. ness. The industry is considered a pro- fitable one in the few localities where peppermint is successfully grown, but the price of oil varies considerably in different seasons, so that the profits are no! uniform.
