Was for Many Years Dublin, Was Known as "the Wit tiest Man of His Genheration"-- Distinguished Visitors at Dublin Always Sought to Dine With Him. MONG the many excellent stories which Mr. M, Me- Donnell Bodkin, K.C., tells in his interesting article, "Irish Characters and Irish Wit," are a number concerning Fa- ther Healy, "the wittlest man of his Beneration," who was for many years parish priest of Little Bray, about twelve miles from Dublin. . It was the ambition of every dis- tinguished man who lived in or visit ed Dublid to dine with FathérHealy, and in fone of Lord' ndol admirable biography by bis. sen, 'he writes, after a Session of "'wnusual Stress, that nothing could restore him but "a night spent in Father Healy's company." » 4 On one occasion a fine clutch of young ducks arrived among the gifts' which frequently reached Father Healy from his many admirers. The genial priest watched their progress from the pond to the table with live- ly satistaction. Seeing them sporting in the water, he exclaimed, with whimsieal compassion, 'Poor inno- cents, how they enjoy themselves, never 'thinking that my green peas &re growing on the other side of the garden wall." It was Father Healy who, when Mr. Balfour, at that time Chief Secre- tary for Ireland, asked if there was in the Nationalist papers that he Was gener- ally disliked in Ireland, replied, "My dear sir, if the devil were half so well hated my occupation would be gone." Nothing bappler can be imagined than Father Healy's reply to a dyspep- tic priest whom he encountered fresh from his sea-water bath, and who, having assured him that he often de- rived much benefit from drinking a tumblerful of salt water, anxiously | inquired: "Do you think 1 might venture on a second?" Father Healy, after grave consid- eration, solemnly answered, "I think you might; I don't believe it would be missed." : Loy. NOt less felicitous was his retort bi Fre aM ihs Posmatant archi: | shop whom he met as he was hurry- Ing for a train. The archbishop show- ed him his watch and assured him that they had abundance of time, They arrived to sée the train steam. ing out of the station. The arehbi- shop was much distressed. 'I can- not tell you how it happened, Father Healy; it is a valuable presentation walen, and I had the utmost faith in iit." | "Better have had geod works in It," retorted Father Healy. One of Mr. Bodkin's personal ane dotes concerns an occasion when he was walking with Father Healy through a street in Dublin, and a ragged loafer came begging to him, "Pointing after him as he slouched Away," says Mr. Bodkin, "sixpence { richer than he came, Father Healy | sald to me: 'That's a nice condition { for a poor Irish landlord.' 'Why, in the myme of wonder,' I exclaimed, 'do | You say that fellow is an Irish land- lord?" 'He has the uh! :rsal and in- fallible hall-mark.' _ 'And that is?" 'A rent in a rear." Greatest Fever-Fighter. | Quinine is the greatest fever- { fighter known to modern science. It {is believed to have been discovered | by a Jesuit about 1535, and was | christened Jeésuit's Bark by the Or- | der. Its earliest public use was when the wife of the Viceroy of Peru, the Countess Chincon, was cared of an attack of'fever by the drug. The notoriety given to this valuable drug through its cure of the countess caused it to be named after its dis tinguished patient, and the bark was thereafter known as the product of the cinchona tree. This lady brought jt to Europe in 1639, and when its | value became known it fetched its weight in silver for a certain period. The kdowledge of its valuable pro- perties was spread throughout Eu- rope by the Jesuit Brotherhood, and Louis XIV, was cured of fever, when Dauphin, tirough its administration. Sixteen hundred and eighty saw it in general use, and Sir Hans Sloane, the famous Irish physician, introduced ft | there about 1700.

The greater part of the business segtion of Paris, Texas, was wiped out by fire. The loss is $2,000,000. ~ Churchill's letters, preserved in i dis one law ancient criminal code, pre- Y & passing mounted. police- It was Leroux's custom to listen gravely to all the evidence in the case brought before him, then, Wish an air of profoundest thought, he would bid the parties concerned re- turn on the morrow, as be wished time to consider so weighty a matter. The court ended, he would hurry surreptitiously to the home of a nearby Catholie priest, a very worthy man of considerable learning and breadth of view. To the Father, Leroux would then repeat the gist of the case just heard, and, upon hearing the priest's decision, would return home. In this manner Leroux gained consider- able repute for wise and fair decls- lons, and was held in a good deal of reepect by the bhalf-breeds and French-Canadians throughout the trict. One day there came before him one Baptiste LaFlour, charged by one Alphonse LaRose with the kili- ing of his dog. Now, a dog is a very recious thing in the northland. The {ling of one is as heinous a crime a4 is the killing of a man's horse in prairie country, so the case was of considerable importance. The accused was a relative by marriage of the justice, which, nat- urally, made Leroux loth to punish | him. Leroux. listened carefully to the evidence which was very strongly | against his relative; in fact, there was absolutely no doubt that La- Flour was guilty, and furthermore, that the killing of the animal had been a plece of unealled for spite wor< upon his part. ' Desirous of stalling for time and for the friendly guidance of the holy Father upon so difficult a case, Le- roux rendered his usual little speech: "You come back here to-morrow af- ternoon and I tell you--I must have time to consult de book," and here he tapped very gravely the ancient code. But LaRose bad come a long way to push the charge, and was anxious to return home, as were also a num- ber of the witnesses he had brought with him. So they greeted the dic- tum of Leroux in no uncertain terms, demanding that the case be settled there and then. Anxious to retain standing among these men of the district, the Justice finally consented to give his verdict in a few minutes. In great exity he turned the pages of the | 3 ed "Hiv WiPromer, hls oni on - eq, the while with deep thoi Suddenly, out of nowhere, came the | saving idea, Rapping upon the table he once | more called the court to order. "Alphonge, where 'bouts you say he keel your dog?" As he put the queftion the magistrate waved his arm to a map of the local distriet Jatin bung upon the wall beside im. ; Taken aback and surprised this unexpected question, Alphonse 'advanced to the map and, after con- siderable study and poring over it, finally pointed out the locality where | the animal had come to%Yatal end, Very gravely Leroux examined¥the map, marking the place off, which showed to be a short distance north of the line of the fifty-fifth parallel of north latitude. "Ah, I see," he said, at last, shaking his head after the manner of one who receives an- ticipated but hoped against informa- tion. he went on: "Baptiste, you are dis- mis'; I think you guilty lak hell, but hére--" and he tapped the ancient criminal code with much solemnity-- | "but bere, in dis book, I find there is no law tor dog morth of the fifty-ar"." So the accused went free and the accuser. went away satisfied, for had not the worthy magistrate done his best? He had found the culprit guilty! the justice could not be blamed for the failure of the-Taw book to take into consideration this erime. Thus X, by a chance thought rendered a verdict of considerable diplomacy, saving his relative, while at the same time retaining the good will and esteem of the opposing fac- tion.
