Universal regret was occasioned
throughout North Kerry by the an
nouncement of the death of Mr.. w. c..
H1kie, J P, of Kilelton, which occurred
on Sunday morning, June Itch, and
came as sudden shock, deceased being
apparently no worse in health and gene
raj appearance on the previous day than
he had been any time during the past
few years. The immediate cause of
death was apoplexy. As a landlord and
magistrate the deceased was always in
dulgent to the poor, and IN years gone by
the hospital Of Kilelton was known
far outside Of the bounds of Kerry, and
the many excellent qualities of the de-
ceased were widely appreciated by a
circle Of friends which was Mined to
no class or party.

SIR MoRvEN S HUNT.

& On, It twenty gallan. gentlemen,
Rode out to hunt the deer,
4 With mirth upon the silver horn
And CLEAN upon the spear;
They galloped through the meadow grass,
They sought the forests gloom,
And loudest rang Sir Morven's laugh.
And lightest tost his plume
There's no delight by day or night,
Like hunting in the, morn;
So busk We, gallant gentlemen,
!. And sound the silver horn
They rode into the dark greenwood,
BY ferny dell and glade,
And now and then upon their cloaks
The summer sunshine played.
They heard the timid forest birds
Break off amid their glee,
They saw the startled lev.ret.
But no stag did they see.
Wind wind the horn on gu INNER morn!
Tho ne'er buck appear.
There's health for hors: aid gentlemen
A-fo:lowing the deer.
They painted up Ben Lomond's side.
Where thick the LEAKAGE grew,
And when they bent the branches back
The sunb cams darted through,
Sir Morven in his saddle turn'd
And TO his comrade spake,
''Now quiet! we shall find stag
Beside the Brownies Lake"
Then sound not on the bugle horn
Bend bush, and 30 not break,
Lest ye should STA the fleet-foot hart
A-drinking at the lake.
Now they have reached the Brownies Lake
A blue eye in the wood
And on its brink moments space
All motionless they stood.
Then suddenly the silence broke
With twenty bowstrings' twang.
And hurting through the drowsy air
Their feather'd arrows rang.
Then let the silver note reaound
Across the forest cool:
Sir Morven' dart hath slain the hart
Beside the Brownies Pool:
When shadows seal the forest,up
And DER the meadows fall
Those twenty gallant gentlemen
Come riding to the Hail.
With CLEAN of torch and merry shout
They crowd the courtyard then,
TO lift from Morven's sad le-bow
royal stag Of ten.
Oh, lay aside the trusty spear,
And lay aside the horn!
Tonight wen feast upon the deer,
And hunt another mora,

News reached Armagh, ON June 18th,
that farmer named Jas. Lang, who had
resided at place called Brougham,
about three miles from Armagh, was dis
covered by nsighboring farmer quite
dead. It appears that the deceased, who
had lived alone for number of years
past, had been out visiting house some
distance from his home. Hs had left
the house, and was proceeding home
wards, when death overlook him. The
suddenness of the affair caused q great

"Some may be Impatient, (says Mr..
Young), and sick at heart from hope de-

ing considering the ground which has
been covered, and the work that has
been accomplished since the present
government came into office. can
scarcely see how great measure like
Home Rule, complex and far-reaching in
it's possibilities, having had to encounter
fierce opposition from a powerful Tory
party, and determined hostility from the
House of Lords, could have made much
greater progress in the time. The climax
of the struggle has arrived, however.
Success is certain. It only requires a
long pull, strong pull, and pull alto
gether to arrive at the goal on which the
Irish have set their hearts,

when they were ia gen out of the water,

ecriptioDs for the support Of the Irish

Rev. A. Mcguire, who was moved to the
chair amidst applause said that in order
to gain Home Rule, it was necessary to
maintain the Irish party compact and
united in Westminster. The party de-

How We Breathe.

Men and women do not breathe alike.
In woman the breathing is from the
thorax, or chest while in a man 1t Is
mainly from the diaphragm, which Is
lower down. This peculiar difference is
so marked that it is possible to recognize
by 1t a woman disguised as a man, al
though the disguise may be faultless in
other respects Most Psychologists say
that this difference Is not due to sex,
but owing to artificial conditions, such as
the wearing of corsets.
A Philadelphia doctor made a series OF
investigations on the subject a short time
ago, and from this it would seem that
where the body is unconfiued, the stonl-
ach moves in breathing. but where cor
sets are worn the breathing moves the
chest. Eighty-two girls, from ten to
twenty-five years OF age, were examined,
half OF whom were of pure Indian blood,
the others being of mixed descent. Sew
enty-five breathed from the diaphragm,
and the other seven from the thorax or
side The latter belonged to comparative
ly civilized tribes.
