Barney Castle.

Barney castle is of course cele-
brated because of the wonderful
stone which has given a verb and a
noun to the English language and
which no wise tourist leaves Erin
without at least once pressing rev.
erentially to his lips. Unfortunate
ly the real Barney stone is situated
just below the parapet of the tower
battlement, and it is whispered that
the difficulty and danger of reach
ing it are SO great that another Blair
ney stone was, long time ago, sub
stituted in more convenient spot.
The verses originally written con-
corning the power of this remarka-
BILE stone are worth quoting, so
quaint and so typically Irish are
they:
There is stone there that whoever kisses,
Oh, he never misses to grow eloquent!
IT'S he may Chamber to my ladys cham.

A Matter of Fact Doc.

There are prosaic men and wom-
en-, and there are matter of fact
dogs. For purely business purposes
they are often the best.
We once owned an excellent re-
trieving spaniel of the simple order
of mind, without grain of humor.
This dog accompanied us unasked
when we wanted to shoot a bullfnch
in the garden to stuff. The gun
went off, and the poor bullfnch
dropped.
Now, this dog had been used,
when the gun was fred, to go and
look for dead or wounded rabbit.
So, instead of looking under the ap-
pie tree, he disappeared into the
hedge, and in few minutes he re-
turned with rabbit in his mouth
So much for the value of matter
of fact dog. London Spectator.

The Abbreviation of geological.

The tendency among English peo-
pie to clip long words into short
ones or even into monosyllables is
notorious. Thus "cabriolet" has be-
come cab, omnibus" bus and so on.
But the change of Geological into
zoo is, to any one who knows the
origin of the word, the most exas-
perating of-all, and yet we now meet
with zoo in well written journals.
There is another variation, which
comes simply from bad pronuncia-
ton, as when a cockney holiday
maker tells you he has been to the
"slogical." If Geological is to un-'
dergo shortening like that which
has befallen Omnibus" and "ca
briolet" let it at least become 20.
This would be correct as far as it
went and would not be SO excruciat-
ing as the detestable zoo.--Notes
and Queries.

All hail to Lou Dillon, the queen Of the
turf,
That set the world talking when at
Readville park,
With footsteps as light as the spray on
the surf
She flashed through the stretch to the
two minute mark.
With star in her face and a jacket Of
gold,
A white leg behind and a very light
shoe,
With stride that Is frtctionlesS, airy
and bold
Lou Dillon paraded and trotted in two.
The dream of the breeder. 1t looked like
the fay
Which sparkle and futter on destiny's
shield,
Till over the Readville blue ribbon Of
Lou Dillon was victor. with Time in the
field.
Twas the aim of her breeder to own such
a mare;
He saw her developed and trot in two
eight
But his last debt to earth had to be set
tied eer
The star Of his farm shot away on her
gait
In his place there appeared a bold man
among men.
Who loves fast trotter for what 1t can
DO,
And he shall be applauded with voice and
with pen
For planning the trip that made Lou
trot In two.
IT'S of Billings speak. the new king Of
the road.
Successor to Bonner. the best we have
seen,
And in Billings Dame Nature has reaped
what she sowed;
His father owned Princess and he has
the queen.
