M. D., and the more famous Father
James Healy Of Bray. Both were wont
to set social circles in a roar by stories
of the humorous side of Irish politics.
Medley was for many years medical
adviser to the Dublin Metropolitan po-
lice. He used to relate that on coming
forward to speak at a meeting on be-
half Of an hospital charity, a voice
cried out ''Three cheers, boys, for Doc
tor Medley, who killed more peelers
than all the Fenians put together" OF
Father Healy a favorite story deals
with his reply to Mr. Arthur Balfour
who, when Chief Secretary for Ireland
asked him whether he was so detested
by the people as the Nationalist papers
represented. my dear SIR" said the
priest, "if the Irish papers hated the
devil as much as they hate you, my
occupation would be gone." .
Not far from the graves Of the
humorists is the mound beneath which
Stewart Parnell, and the memory of
the darkness and despair in which his
great career,-like that of his mighty
predecessor, O'Connell,-terminate in
1891, brings back once more to the
mind the haunting thought that tears
alone are all that kathleen Nj Houli-
han" can offer in life to those whom
she allures to her service, and after
death but yew to deck their graves.
Yet here in Glasnevin there is a beauty
and serenity that sleeps in hold balm

the wounded hearts, of those Irish Ma
tionalists who have found sleeping
places within its pleasant borders, as
we'll as In the unforgetting heart of

Upon her deathbed she disregarded the efforts of those who sought to administer spiritual comfort. An atheist she had lived. an atheist she would die.

Subjective Drowning.

The dentists chair was tipped so faI back that escape for the village seam- stress, lady of remarkable conversa- tional ability, was impossible. Wads of absorbent cotton were tucked be- meath her tongue, some patent appli- ance held her jaws apart, and all the lower half of her countenance except one back tooth was concealed under a decidedly damp rubber dam. The patients mouth was full of water, speech was impossible, and the poor, naturally talkative lady was suffering agonies of discomfort.
 The engrossed dentist paid no heed to her squirmings or to the appeal in her eyes. Fortunately, however, the patients hands were free. Groping in the reticule that hung from her belt, she brought forth paper and pencil and wrote:
 "Help! Help! I'm drowning."- Youths Companion.

 You had no watch. and yet you are positive that the defendant was only ten minutes absent. l doubt if you are able to estimate ten minutes of time correctly" he said
 "Try me- said the old tar.
 The lawyer drew his watch from his pocket and said, When I call out Now you allow ten minutes to pass, and when 1t is up call out Times up !"
 The old salt nodded, and the lawyer called out Now" Slowly the time passed, and the lawyer, with watch in hand, tried 10 wheedle him into an ad- mission that time was up. The sailor paid no heed and exactly at the end of the ten minutes shouted, Times up.' The bewildered lawyer turned round confused at the courts loud laughter, and his eye lighted on the courtroom clock beh.nd him, which had assisted the oil sailor in his task.

Rossini's Lazfness.

Rossini was one of the most indolent of men and in Lis younger days used to do most of lis composing in bed
 Once he had almost completed a trio, when the sheet fell out of his hand and went under the bed. He could not reach it, and, rather than get up, he wrote another. The lazy man, if he works at all, does so by spurts, and Rossini, working against time, wrote '"The Barber of Seville" in thirteen days. When Donizetti was told of this he remarked, Tt is very possible. He Is so lazy" The overture to the "Gazza Ladra" was written under curious cir cumstances. On the very day of the first performance of the opera not a note of the overture was written, and the manager, getting hold of Rossinl confined him ill the upper loft of La Scala, setting four scene shifters on guard over him. These took the sheets as they were filled and threw them out of the windows to copyists beneath.

 It was the habit of Richard Henry etoddard, the poet. to always speak we'll of every one. No matter how bad the character of a person, the good gray poet Invariably found some trait to praise. One day in his office on Park row some friend entered and asked him whether he knew so and so and, if 50. what was the mans reputa- ton. It happened that the man had a shady reputation and was well known as a "gold brick" operator. The aged poet lighted his pipe and answered:

cold Storage In Irish B0gs.

For long 1t puzzled me to know what the poachers did with the birds they shot in July. There Is no cold storage In the north of Ireland, but they have discovered an excellent substitute. Tho birds are buried four or five feet deep in dry peat, and, l am told, come out perfectly fresh at the end of two or three weeks. When one remembers the bog butter dug out of the peat bogs in a comparatively fresh state after being buried for probably 200 or 3oo years, 1t is not difficult to believe that grouse might keep, under the same cir. cumstances, for two or three weeks.-- Letter in Country Life.
