John Boyle O'Reilly is dead.
That was the sad news that the busy
wires gave to the civilized world last
Monday morning. 1t was indeed the
most heartrending announcement that,
has been made to the Irish people at
home and abroad for many years. It!
was at first partially discredited, but
when the short and lucid dispatch was
read through the sad news was indeed
too true. @s

that ruggid, at the same time handsome

suffered much from heart weakness, but
80 determined was he to master the
enemy Of his existence that he went
about his daily duty as If nothing was
wrong. But when the fatal hour came,
and he was called away, he was forced
to go.
John Boyle O'Re1lly was a poet as
well as editor. and the American people
have more than once expressed their
appreciations Of his splendid literary
productions. He occupied an enviable
position among modern writer's, and
few could exceed his style which was
eyer remarkable for its simplicity. and
clearness. AS son of Erin. America
knew no truer or more loyal one. His
heart and soul was in lreland's cause.
and much good did he do for the land
of his birth which no one will ever be
able to measure. His life was one con-
tinued struggle for che freedom of Ire
land, and none but he knew how much
he did, and that to accomplish her
freedom. He will be much missed
among the defenders OF ireland, and for
many years to come his place in Ameri-
can literature will be vacant.
John Boyle O'Reilly died very sud
denly at his summer home at Nantasket
Beach, Mass, at s O 'clock Sunday morn
ing. The cause Of death is supposed to
have been accidental poisoning. The
particulars, as far as known by the
family, are as follows:
MIR. O'Kellly has been suffering for
several days from insomnia, During
the past week he had slept but little.
Last Saturday night his wife was un-
we'll, and at IL o'clock. he called DR..
William II. Litchfeld, to attend her.
DR.. Lichfeld went to the house, and
prescribed for her, leaving bottle of
medicine. About 2 O'clock, Mr.. O Reil.
" again called the doctor and said that
part of the medicine left for Mrs.
O'ReillY had been spilled. The doctor
then gave him a single dose to take to
her. AS he left the DOCTORS Mr.. O. Reilly
said that he felt extremely tired and if
Mrs. q Reilly went to sleep he would
take q little something himself to see If
he could not get few hours sleep. At
4 o'clock Mrs. O REILLY awoKe and found
that her husband was missing. She
went down stairs and found hlm lying
on the floor in an unconscious condi-
tion. The doctor was immediately
called. Upon arriving he found the
respiration very weak, and Mr.. @ Reilly
expired shortly after. A bottle was

was tried for high treason and sent
enced to be shot. The sentence was
committed. and he was confined in diff
ferent English prisons. Whenin Dart
moor, aided by other irish prisoners, he
collected and buried the scattered bones
of the French and American prisoners
of war who were shot IN 1914.
In 1867 O Reilly was sent to Australia.
He was one of those excluded from the
amnesty granted to the political prison-
ers in 1859. He escaped from the
western coast of Australia in an open
boat, was picked up by Capt. Clifford,
of the American ship ''Gazelle," ]" and
landed in Philadelphia on November
%, 1869. He lectured and wrote for che
journals for a time, followed the Fenian
raids into Canada in 1870 and described
its events for the Boston newspapers.
The same year he became connected
with the Boston Pilot, of which be was
editor and principal owner at the time
of his death. He founded the Papyrus
club IN Boston. He has appeared as a
lecturer, has contributed to periodicals,
and has published in book form Songs
of the Southern Seas" Boston, 1873;
'.Songs, Legends and Ballads" 1878;

BIOGRAPHICAL.
John Boyle O'Reilly was born at
Dowets Castle, County Meath. Ireland,
June %, 1874. At the age of IA he
learned type setting, and afterward be-
came reporter for several English
journals. He returned to Ireland in
1862, and enlisted IN the Tenth Hussars.
He had meantime joined the Fenian So
ciety, and his entrance into the English
army was with the object Of spreading
among the Irish soldiers.
In 1866 his connection with Fenlanism
was discovered. Ellis propaganda of
revolutionary principles had been sue
cessful, and several Irish regiments,
known to be ready to participate in a
rebellion, were, in consequence, scat
tered through the most unhealthful

You may think it strange, but there is an eminent physician abroad who writes out prescription for music much as we would for calomel. It possesses won- derful sway over the lower orders of life, and you have often noticed the spirited action of a horse, the arched neck and proud canter, when hearing the strains of martial music.
 Music cheers the soldier on the long march and renews his Tagging energies. So will it aid the dyspeptic. The instru- ment is a matter of choice, the violin hardly to be recommended unless handled by master, for no instrument is so capable of distracting wailings, when in the hands of a novice. The voice is, par excellence, the best of musical remedies, and four part songs are potent for good.
 dare say, you who have been victims of atrociously bad performances will not agree with me. But give the best trial. Just go to some of the near by resorts that offer so many harmonious attrac. tions and try the curative effect of Q ''concord of sweet sounds. Richard Guernsey, M. D., in Once Week.

The Grandest Instrument on Earth.

Professor George Davidson, of the United States geographical survey, accompanied by several friends, visited the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, Saturday evening, by invi- tation of Professor Holden. The night was a splendid one for observation, but owing to the fact that IF persons were also on the mountain, it being visi- tors night, no length of time could be spent at the great telescope, as that is al- ways the great attraction for visitors. It was the first peep through the 36-inch re- tractor that Professor Davidson enjoyed since the completion of the observatory, and to say that he was pleased with the experience is only half putting it.
 ''Yes, sir," he said the other day, when spoken to about the matter, ''it is the greatest and grandest instrument on earth. I am not at liberty to divulge just now what I saw and what has already been accomplished by the astron- omers on Mount Hamilton. That glory is for the astronomers themselves, and when they do make public their discov- cries, which I hope will be soon, it will astonish the astronomical world as much as any one else. Some of the discover ies they have made are, in fact, so novel and wonderful that Professor Holden and his assistants are really timid about an- nouncing them to the world until they are entirely satisfied that they really do exist and are not illusions of some sort. Im- portant discoveries have been made in all of the departments -nebula, double stars, planets, etc.-and questions which have been subjects of doubt and specula- ton for generations have been entirely put at rest and accounted for. The teie- scope exceeds my most extravagant hopes and imaginations, and the only way to beat it is to build bigger one, put it on higher mountain and in clearer at mosphere, all of which would be diff cult combination to get together.

A Fish That RuiIds a Nest.

A Chinese fish constructs nest, not of grass or seaweed, but of frothy se- cretions. The male prepares bubbles in the air by sucking them in and strengthening them with mucous mat ter from his mouth. Then he brings them into the water, and expels them to construct nest. The female enters this cavity, and lays her eggs there.
 The eggs sink to the bottom of the water, and the male is then obliged to raise them into the nest. He appears to be unable to carry them in his mouth, so he swallows large supply of air, descends beneath the eggs, and violently expels the air accumulated. This air, finely divided by the fringes of the gills, escapes in the form of two jets of gaseous powder, which envelop the eggs and raise them to the surface. Youths Companion.

Death and Burial in China.

When the Chinese wish to declare the extreme vexatiousness of any piece of work they say: ''It is more trouble than a funeral;" the obsequies of a parent being reckoned the most maddening affair in human experience.
 Infants are buried summarily, without cofins, and the young are inferred with few rites; but the funeral of the aged, of both sexes, are elaborate in proportion to the number of the descendants and to their wealth. When a childless married man dies, his widow may perform all the duties of a son toward him, may re- main in his house and may adopt children to rear as his heirs and worshipers of the family names. If his widow proposes marrying again, a young male relative may, with the consent of senior members of the clan, undertake the services ex- pected from son and inherit the estate of the deceased.
 When one is about to die he is re- moved from his couch to bench or to a mat on the floor because of a belief that he who dies in bed will carry the bedstead as burden into the next world. He is washed in a new pot in warm water in which bundle of incense sticks is merged. After the washing the pot and the water are thrown away to- gether. He is then arrayed in full suit of new clothing that he may appear in hades at his best. He breathes his last in the main room, before the largest door of the house, that the departing soul may easily find its way out into the air. A sheet of spirit money, brown paper hay ing patch of gliding on one surface, is laid over the upturned face, because it is said that if the eyes are left uncovered the corpse may count the rows of tiles in the roof, and that in such case the family could never build a more spacious domicile.-Adele M. Field in Popular Science Monthly.

CharFo of a Tiger,

As a general rule a tiger will endeavor to avoid an encounter with line of ele- plants; on rare occasions it will await their approach, and charge home wheH within few paces, but on still rarer oc- casions it will advance to the attack from some distance, mouth open, lips curling upward, ears down, tail on end, every hair on its body and head bristling with fury.
 Whoever has had the fortune to wit ness such charge will never forget the magnificent sight, nor the terrific sounds which accompanied the onward bounds of the enraged monster, filling the air around, and drowning the voices of all other living creatures in its awful depth and volume.
 A large tiger viewed under such cir cumstances, when his head and body are greatly swelled out, and his appearance rendered most terrific by the bristling of his hair, is very different creature from the hstless, flat sided least of menageries and geological gardens.-Edward D. Baker.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR
Gives the Nasty Eater Sco1ding and a
 Bit of Good Advice.

Gives the Hasty Eater Scolding and a
 Bit of Good Advice.
 If there is any truth in the adage that the ''way to a mans heart is through his stomach" in nine cases out of ten it would be hard road to travel. When you consider the enormous and varied amount of material that strews its path, you at once encounter many unpleasant obstacles. The man who gets outside of hot soup, boiled ham, fried clans, pota- toes, pickled cabbage, pastry, ice cream, and tea in fifteen minutes, and then wonders why he feels so badly, is either an ass or an idiot-very likelya melange.
 He cannot understand it, when he is so constantly taking those celebrated ''after dinner pills, a title that is simply a cover for wrong doing. True, he paid extra to have his pills gelatine coated to retain their virtues the longer; but he evidently did not know that the tannin in the tea would convert that coating into a mass which the juices of the stomach are powerless to affect, and so no benefit is derived from the pills. He goes on, however, stuffing himself with food-and the delusion that the more one eats the stouter he grows. It is not the quantity we eat, but what is assimilated that is, what the system is capable of burning up as fuel to increase our vital energies. If you smother your fire with too much coal, out it goes. Now the dyspeptic, the sufferer of that most com mon trouble, indigestion, may feel its presence by thousand different signs So numerous are they, that the mention of only few must suffice here.
 For instance, he wakes with a stuffy headache, bad taste in his mouth, bolts his breakfast, and rushes off to business. His food repeats" as our English friends say, his taste becomes sour and hot, and so does his temper, and he is not altogether the most amiable of mortals. As the day grows apace he has ill defined aches, and fancies his eye sight is failing, and his irritability increases. His clerks live on pins and needles, and his friends say, ''what bore he is getting to be, so full of ills"
 Thus it goes on from bad to worse Think of that man as judge, and now he might make wretches hang that jurymen may dine" No doubt many a verdict of today is largely influenced by poisonous butyric acid in the circulation of one who has too hastily consumed his fodder. Ultimately, if he does not switch of, he falls victim to nervous prostra- tion and melancholia, a fit tenant for any asylum, which he often cheates by draw ing razor across his throat. All from dyspepsia. There is no hyperbole in this picture; you will see many like it every day, if you but keep your eyes open.
 The remedy2 Certainly not indiscrim- mate drugging, a proceeding as foolish as to load your dog with an elephants burden and expect him to carry it. If the stomach cannot take care of its na- tural guests it will resent the intrusion of foreigners.
 The panacea is rest for the stomach by the use of light foods, and rest for the mind by anything which will draw at tention from the suffering organ. Few things accomplish this latter better than the diversion of hearing good music.
