Suuken Irish Cities.

There are numerous legends Of sunksD
cities scattered through ireland, soma
of which are Of q most romantic oriVfD.
Thus the space DOW covered by the lsss
of Inchiguis is reported 70 have been In

city but for some dreadful and unsb.

buried beneath the deep waters. TIE
dark spirit of its king still resides in one
of the dark c8veTns whieh border tie
lake, and once every seven years At mid
night he issues forth mounted on bis
charger, and makes the complete circuit
OF the lake, a performance which be is
TO continue TIL the silver hO0fs Of bis
steed are worn out, when the curse vii
be removed, and the city appear ones
more in all lis bygone condition. The
peasaGtry affirm even now that on q calm
night one may clearly see the towers
and spires cleaning through the clear
water. With this legend We may CON-

Don't Drink too Much.

So far as the mere sensation of thirst
is concerned, there can be DO question
that il is a mistake to drink too much OF
too frequently in hot weather the fluid
taken in is very rapidly again thrown
out through the skin in the form of per-
spiratiOn, and the outflow being promo
ted by this determination toward the
surface, a new and increasing demand
for fluid follows rapidly on the successive
acts of drinking and perspiring, with
the result that ''thirst" is made worse
by giving way to it. But if we refuse
to drink when we are thirsty simply be-
cause we shall thirst again, we are impO-
sing a restraint upon the activities by
which nature is endeavOring to preserve
the health. We are doing precisely
what the irrational homeopa; rs do, or
did, in refusing fluid to cholera patients,
or limiting the drink of those who suffer
from fever. OF course like produces
like' in the matter of thirst from any
cause. but the 'like'' produced is natu-
raj and it IS, or rather was, strange to
note that in one of the earliest notorious
cases of malpractice by persons calling
themselves homeopaths in England, the
dogma, "Similia similibus curantur, =
! should be flung to the winds, and drink
refused to patient dying of liquid diar-
| Thua, because, forsooth, the taking OF
! fluids increased the diarThRa and made
/ him more thirsty We venture to hope
! that those who are zealously urging the
policy of refusing to quench their thirst
in this hot weather because drinking
makes people more thirsty" will recon
slider their policy from the physiological
standpoint, and that they will recognize
that to thirst and drink and perspire anC
drink again are the natural steps IN tn,
process bY which nature strives TO main
tain the integrity of those organic chan
ges which the external heat has a ten
dency to impede. The natural and tru
policy is TO supply an adequate Qusntit
of tuid without excess, Therefore d
not abstain from drink, but drink slow
Iy, so as to allow time for the voice G
nature to cry enough" " There is o
drink so good as pure water. For th
sake Of flavor, and because the vegetabl
acids are useful, a dash of lemon juic
may with advantage De added. Th
skin should be kept fairly cool, SO that
sufficient quantity of the fluid taken ma
pass off through the kidneys.

Where Burns was Born.

Five miles from Kilmsrnoek is Irvine,
where Burns made his unfortunate start
as fax dresser, and, worse still, in the
opinions of his biographers, contracted
very many bad habits and nine miles in
another direction is Ayr, where in the
summer time omnibuses run regularly
to and from the station to the cottage in
which the poet was born, the monument
erected to his memory, the Aud Kirk
of Alloway, and the Aud Brig o. Doom
the three latter being situated close to
each other, and about mile to the south
of the former. The struggling High
street reached, one soon finds the inn on
the right, in which Tam and his dear
companion, Souter Johnny, are said to
have got "fou together" An oil paint
ing above the door represents the hero
reluctantly bidding "good bye'' to bis
companions of the evening, in
THAT hour O. nights black arch the keystone.
That dreary hour he mounts his beast :"
and gives fair idea in rude, country
way, of the start for that memorable
ride. The house is a plain, substantial
Scotch building, two stories high, with
thatched roof, and remains very much
what it must have been when, as the
story goes, Dugald Greme, of Shanter,
and John Davidson, the drunken shoe
maker, the originals of the poem, used
to go there on market days. The room
up stairs in which Tam was glorious,
is still pointed out, but the chairs of
the Carrick farmer and Souter Johnny
have been recently purchased by the AyI
Burns Club. and placed in the memorial
room in the cottage at Al!oway, where
he was born. The original drinking
cup, or ''caup," of the inn, is now the
property of some private individual but
the present landlord shows an exact faC
simile in we'll executed piece of dove

Strikes and Riots.

Strikes and riots have prevailed in
Chicago and Milwaukee during the
week.
A dynamite bomb was thrown into
squad of policemen at the corner of
Desplaines and Randolph streets, Chi
cage, on Tuesday evening, which ex-
ploded killing and wounding nearly
fifty men, nearly all of whom were
policemen. II is indeed an evil day
when such a fiendish deed is done in
free America. -Four socialists or an
archists have been arrested and held
without bail on the charge of being
accessories to the crime.
In Milwaukee on Wednesday morn
ing mob composed chiefly of Poles
and Bohemians made a raid on some
works at Bay View which were guarded
by militia. The ayowed object of the
mob was to burn the works and kill
the militia. They were ordered to go
back; but the order was not obeyed,
and the militia was given the COM
mand to fire, which they did, killing
seven or eight of the rioters. The
rioters broke and fled.
The action of Governor RuSk in
promptly calling out the militia is
universally commended.
