monty saluted upon the top of the tower, but it
IS said to form part of the wall several feet
below its representative, and only to be
touched by the lips by the person being held
over the parapet by the heels-an operation so
dangerous and unpleasant as rarely to be re-
sorted to-"
Another writer says: ''I will give one solu-
tion of the origin of the Blarney stone, which
has only plausibility torecommend itself Up
on the battlements of the main building, vet
beneath its upper story, is stone that bears
the inscription of the builders name. By the
time the castle was in ruins these words, time
worn and moSs-grown, were hard to read.
Some enthusiastic Irishman, with the love Of
the departed glory OF his country fresh in his
soul, determined to read and kiss the name of
one of the brave defenders of the soil. In so
doing he was obliged to suspend himself from
the upper story by his feet, and run the risk of
hundred feet below. Thefeat was accomplished
in safety, and his apprecative brothers of the
soil ever afterwards regarded him as invincible
and all-conqueripg in all that he would under
take; and emulation of the deed has rendered
the poetry ana fame permanent"
The winding staircase leading to the top of
the tower is said to be still perfect, and many n
pilgrim Is tempted to ascend them, if not actu-
ally kiss the Blarney stone, said to impart pc
culiar suavity OF speech. What is called i'm
posed to be bestowed, when not naturally and
nationally inherited, by dip in the river
Shannon, ceremony probably traceable to
the dipping of Achilles in the Styx.
Among the many pilgfimages to Blarney,
none has been more memorable than that Of
Sir Walter Scott, accompanied by his daugh-
ter, Miss Edgeworth and Mr.. Lockhart in
1925. They had right mirthful picnic
among the groves" says Lockhart, "and Sir
Walter scrambled to the top Of the castle and
kissed, with due faith and devotion, the IA
moas Blarney stone-one salute of which Is
said to emancipate the pilgrim from all future
visitations of naduUdis honte."
1t is believed in Ireland that "a shot from
one of Crom Wells cannons ioosened the stone;
but it is thought doubtful whether Cromwell
ever visited Blarney; and it was Lord Broehll
who became master of the castle in 1G46.
However this may be, it has been quite cur
rently reported that the castle at one time was
beseiged and taken by Cromwell and his pa
triots, who imprisoned the Mccarthy and his
patriots in the donjon and despatched them
by pouring hot lead upon their heads from
lofty balcony in the courtyard, which is still
shown"
A different version, our readers will per-
ceive from the one first given, in which the
McCarthys were supposed to have driven away
Cromwell's soldiers by pouring molten lead
upon them. Also that it was forfeited from
the original owners in 1859 by Lord Clancarty
We, however give both vel sions as we find
them.
According to superstitous belief, the place
has since been infected with witches, who
nightly hold high carnival among the moss
grown cells and work mystic spells upon the
simple minded folk.

The trout and the salmon
A playing backgammon

The top of the tower is surrounded with
parapet, breast high. On the summit, some
say, is the famous stone which is supposed to
confer on the person kissing it the peculiar
property of saying anything by way of coaxing,
compliment or praise, most agreeable to the
hearer.
Various are the traditions respecting the ORR
gin of the term blarney. The most plausible,
1902, when the Spaniards were exciting the
Irish chieftains to haraSs the English authori-
ties, Cormack Demond M'Carthy had, among
other dependencies, the castle Of Blarney and
had concluded an armstice with the lord pres
inent on condition of surrender of this fort to
an English garrison. Day after day did his
lordship look for the3 fulfllment of this com
pact, while the Irish chief continually put him
off with soft promises and delusive delays un-
til at last the lord president became the laugh
ing stock OF Queen Elizabeth's ministes and
blarney talk proveIbial.
In the Pcout Papers is an ingenious attempt
to show that the Blarney stone was originally
brought over by colony of Phenicians who
are said to have peopled that island. And in
deed, that the inhabitants of Tyre and Garth
age, who, long its cuStOdlanS, made use of the
privilege, as the proverbs, Punicd yfdes, IT,
rtosque batngues, clearly testify; and that
body of Carthagenian adventurers stole away
the stone to Minorca, where Port Mahon was
settled by the clan of tho O'Mahoneys, and
afterward, driven into Cork harbor, deposited
the treasure in the present spot, the shadiest
groves of its vicinity; and that the famous song
The Groves of Blarney, instead of being an
original composition was translated from the
Greek.
We have already given different version as
to the origin of the song. But, of course,
among numerous legends handed down to us
it is oftentimes exceedingly difficult to deter
mine which is really the correct one. The
most popular belief, however, is that the stone
always rested somewhere near the summit of
the tower, wherefore from its being somewhat
inaccessible, few have the courage to test its
virtues
An amusing description of this famous stone
is given by an authentic writer. He says:
"The actual Blarney stone is not the one COM

Blarney Castle.
Some of the Legends and Historical Facts
Connected with the Blarney Stone
fPotter's Magazine L

Those who visit ireland, and especially the
city of Cork, will naturally extend their pill
grimage little further to view the far-famed
Blarney castle, long celebrated in song and
legend.
Four centuries ago when people were obliged
to build strong fortif cations of stone in order
to protect themselves against their neighbors
one Cormack Nice Carthy, of the royal line of
Irish nobility, selected site for castle. The
place selected was five miles from the city of
Cork, prominent point commanding a wide-
ly extended view of the surrounding valleys
and hills. Here in due time rose the solid
walls, battlements and solid donjon tower of
Blarney castle. There were also the lookout
tower, where a guard paced to and fro, ban.
quet rooms and chambers entered by secret
passages and dungeons hopelessly strong, with
an underground passage of nearly mile. And
here, it is said. Cormeck Mccarthy and his
retinue lived and died, defying all enemies
and when the soldiers of Cromwell came to
storm the stronghold they received bath Of
melted lead and quickly retired; thus, without
gunpowder or heavy cannon, the castle was
made impregnable. 1t was, however, sup
posed to have been forfeited from the original
owners in 1889, by Lord Clancarty, and after
wards purchased by an ancestor OF Mr.. JEFF
freys.
OF the original fortress there remains only
a large, massive square tower. sort of donjon
or keep, covered with its vail of ivy Time,
that silent power, which makes the hair turn
gray and the steps of the strong become feeble,
did what the enemies of Blarney could not do.
A window easement crumbled; here and there
a stone dropped out; the family went into
smaller quarters, and finally the floors fell in
with crash, and Blarney castle became a
ruin, but very picturesque one.
The main tower, still standing, is about 12O
feet in height, and stands ON the north side of
precipitous ridge of limestone rock rising
from a deep valley. A part of its base is
washed by small and beautifully clear river
called the Aw Martin. Near it are the famous
groves of Blarney, literally thick shrubbery
of large laurel trees. W
