At One Time It W in I noil na a Food In I In- KiiirrulU lole. There lire few Hunts, if imy, that lire us closely ussochitoil in t ho peo ple's mind with any one niilion in par tiftilnr as is the little Irish shamrock with the joys and sorrows of the lim erald Isle, lu the ancient literature of Erin the word occurs variously as seamsog, Koiunrog, seamroge, shani roto, shamrock e, sliaiuroke, slmnirogh or shamroote, Khiiinrug, Hlmmroe, seniniiroge and chaniliroch. The word "shamrock" is Erse, being derived from Hennirog, a compound of neaninr, meaning trefoil, ami og, little little clover. Seainar is supposed to be the name as siiinar, obtained from the Cel tic name of the clover visiiinanis. As to the plant itself, it is generally cou niilorcil that the true shamrock is ei ther the black nonesuch or the Dutch clover, with a decided preference for the lirst named, on no less an authori ty than the curator of the lmblin Ito tanic gardens and other competent persons. There are, however, some who hold that Trifolium repeus or Trl foliuiu minus is the true shamrock, and this opinion emanates from ex perts iu the agricultural department at Washington. Other writers have adopted the fancy of I.icheno, who ad vocated the right of the wood sorrel to this honor. This last belief may have arisen from the appearance of the word seauisoge, meaning wood sor rel, in old Irish writings, referring to the shamrock, but by those competent to Judge tills is thought to be a mis print, the word seamroge, signifying meadow trefoil, having been meant. The earliest references to the sham rock in Irish literature deal with it as a food plant. Campion in his "Historie of Ireland." dated l.'Tl, says iu speak ing of the food of the common people, "Shanii'otes. water cresses and other herbes they feed upon; oatmolo and butter l hey cram together." Matthias Loliel, tin- flemish botanist, who pub lished his "Sliipiimi Adversaria Nova" in I.VJn. appears to lie the lirst botan ical writer in mention Hie plant, lie eiiumeiiit. s the purple and tile while tretoil and says of the latter, "It Is Hated to lie good for fattening cattle," adding that the Irish grind the (lowers and leaves into a meal, which they knead with butter ami "thrust into their groaning bellies when It s.nne- lillli"!

Edmund Spenser in 17.1." al -o i,l; ,,f the Irish people feeding mi 'vlc.m rokes" or water cresses when reduced to starvation during the Monster wars. In the "Itinerary" of I'ynes Moryson, written In VW, this inissag occurs lu a description of i'ie Irish "They willingly eat the lu-rlie sham rocke, being of a sharp taste, which as they run and are chased to and fro tliev snatch !";e beasts out of t!

This statement has given rise to th belief that the water cress was the shamrock, although some have Idcntllied Moryson's "shamrocke" with the wood sorrel, (Ixnlls acetosella, ft trifoliate plant with acid Juice which grows abundantly In Irish woodlands. The shamrock food of Hie Irish was supplied to make thorn strong and swift of foot. T. Mundy refers to tills fact lu n work written by him in ltiso. The nourishing (pialities of the food nre also gleaned from the statement of the Earl of Antrim during the siege of Minister by the Earl of Argyll, to the effect that (is long as shamrocks were available no apprehension regarding the food supply need exist. About 1772 the shamrock as an article of food In Ireland was supplanted by the po tato. New York Tribune. WISDOM OF NOVELISTS. There Is no man so cautions about money ns your reformed spendthrift.
