But He Told a Half Truth VIXEN He
0 Was Dying.
Burrows was without doubt, the
most notorious liar Nevada will ever
shelter, says the New York Sun. His
fame as q Liar spread for hundred
miles around, and men used to stop
at our camp to get look at him.
He wasn't q wicked man, and he had
no malice about him, but he was a
natural born liar. He lied about his
father, his mother, his wife, brothers,
sisters, and everybody else, and for
every hour in the day he had new
falsehood.
One day a lot of earth and rock
caved in on him and inflicted fatal
injuries, and a number Of us knocked
off work to be with him IN his last
moments. Lying there with only an
hour OF life left to him. he told us that
he had been pirate on the Pacific,
and where he had buried a large
amount ofplunder. We all knew that
he was from Ohio, and had never
seen an ocean. ..~.a t.
One OF the men finally felt it his
duty to say:
Burrows, you have only a short
time to live. You had best spend that
in preparing for eternity .~-...

He went off soon after that, and We
said to each other that he had given
us the greatest yarn Of all. No one
took his claim, which was accounted
poor one, and it lay. for three
months before one of the boys dug in
to it one day for the pick-ax buried
and forgotten. He hadn't got the
pick when he came across lump O

and every shilling of the money was

THE OCEAN CURE.

English Doctors Beneficially Advise
the Sailing Vessel for Consump-
tives.
Though the sailing vessel has gone
out Of fashion with travellers, it still
has its uses and it's peculiar excel
lences. AS health restorer it GER
tainly greatly surpasses the steamer,
on which the passenger is hardly at
sea in the fullest sense, since the
steam engines, the sight and smell Of
smoke. the stairways, the carpets
and the easy-chairs cont inually
take his senses back to the land.
Lately the use of the sailing vessel
as means OF bringing back health to
certain classes of invalids, and par
ticulary to consumptives, has become
regular system in England, and it's
results have been submitted to
thorough and statistical study. 81.
The ocean cure" for consumptives
is practiced by English physicians in
this way: The patient is ordered to
embark at the end of the month of
September on sailing vessel bound
for Australia. Once past Cape, Finis-
terre--for Europeans, in former times,
the lend of the h"-the traveller
may see no land for two or three
months. He is far at sea, with little
to remind him of anythlngin his past
life, breathing an atmosphere which
is free from dust and smoke, and also
freer then any atmosphere on land
from the microbes which often cause
disease. ..'-- ..
For the most part, he is in kindly
climate, and the slow progress of his
vessel accustoms him gradually to
such changes of air as he must under
go. # a.. FL
He arrives in Australia in summer
Of that latitude. Here he is advised
to remain for month or six weeks,
and then to re-embark on sailing
vessel bound for England. Ordinarily
he reaches England on his return in
June, when the dangers to consump-
tives from the climate Of that country
are well-nigh past.
Out of fftysix cases of consump-
tives, in which this treatment was
followed and of which records were
kept, forty-four reported marked i'm.
provement. In five cases the condition
remained the same; in four it became
worse, and only one patient died

THE OLD THING.

Whenever Ireland is on the eve
OF a great political victory it can
be depended on to lay aside the
ethics o. debate and everything
else and pick up the black
thorn.
This has happened over and
again and will doubtless continue
to happen for many years to
come.
The recent riots between the
Parnell and Mccarthy factions
bury ali prospects for Home Rule.
The English Government sends
emmisaries into Ireland to stir up
discord and the Irish always fall
into the trap and have the regular
old fashioned Donneybrook fight
on the street.
It sets the cherished wish of
their hearts back another quarter
Of century but they don't seem
to give the future any considera-
ton.
The fever of fight is always in
the Irish blood and the flash of a
single shelalah in the air is the
signal for the flourish of hundred
more.
This sort of thing will be the or
der of the day in Ireland for some
time to come.
