FINLAND,

A strange contrast is presented by
the fact that in one corner of the car
domains Finland, the suffrage has been
given to women, for the first time in
Europe. and that they have been made
eligible to seats in the diet, while the
rest of the empire is struggling for the
first elements Of liberty. But after all
the contrast Is no greater than that
which exists in the matter of educa-
ton, Finland having one Of the lowest
percentages Of illiteracy, while the rest
Of the cars dominions are the most
illiterate lands in Europe. Because Of
the splendid system Of education which
Finland has long maintained there is
no question Of the fitness of Finnish
women for the ballot except so far as
their life as women and possibly femi-
nine temperament may render their
judgment less valuable on the average
than that OF the average man.-Ex-
change.

The Swedish cremation society is
rs years old, having been organized
May 81, 1882. At first it seemed as if
this movement was going to make
great Roadway in Sweden. But dur
ing the first five years Of the existence
of the society very few Swedes were
cremated. In 1887 a temporary crem-
atory was opened at the northern
cemetery Of Stockholm, and during the
following decade Alb cremations> took
place at the crematory. The statistics
are not complete for the past ten
years, but it is known that Ga persons
were cremated in 1905, which was
called a good year" by those who are
interested in this way Of disposing of
the dead. 1t is expected that crema-
ton will become more popular in
Stockholm when the new crematory
is finished. This building is to be
stately in appearance and modern in
all its appointments.

All the chief rooms of the house radiate off this central hall, in cluding the two have already named, and the dining-room and drawing room. In fact, standing in the grand hall you feel that you are in touch with the whole house. For the main staircase rises out of this hall also and so brings you at once to the upper part of the mansion.
 The staircase is noble one, six feet wide. also in carved dark mahog, any. At the top there is stained glass window, with the arms of the

The ceiling is also in mahogany, elaborately carved and molded There is a beautiful side board in the same material, designed by the architect to harmonize with it's surroundings. The thing in this room, however, which MT. Croker shows you with most interest is quaint and oriental-looking bowl. which he tells you with much satis- faction once belonged, like the old bed upstairs, to Daniel OConnell. IL is punch jug, which would hold about gallon of that inspiring con, coction. which, according to a Cork poet, was accidentally discovered bg St. Patrick; and MT. Crok5r informs you, as he looks at it affectionately,

of his fine mansion, and of all the val uable things that are in its many rooms, MT. Croker is far prouder of his stud. That was what he wanted me to see all the time
 But before we came to the stables 1 was able to get a good general inn pression of Glencairne itself. The en- trance gate, in solid cut granite, seems rather strange to an Irish eye, and looks like the gable of a house in an old Belgian town like Broges. The lawns and flower beds are laid out with great taste, and to-day are a per feet riot of green and colors.
 There are few buildings in Ireland like Glencairne. Most of the great residential houses in this country were erected in the eighteenth cen tury, when domestic architecture was conceived in somewhat commonplace vein. Glencairne is not unique, but is certainly exceptional in Ireland. It is noble pile, crowned with an Irish tower in the center and a beautifully chaste Italian portico running from the hall door on the west, round the building to the south, and SC to the gardens. The house is built of cut granite, and part of the wall of the original building, once the residence of a we'll known Irish judge. is incor porated in it.
 In the Japanese Room.
 But to return to the Japanese room It is indeed a gem. There are no cor ners in it as in an ordinary room. The corners" are all circular, and they are covered with charming and quaint Japanese tapestry. The ceiling is Japanese, with perfect aviary of Japanese birds painted with excellent taste, full of life and movement. At the other side of the hall is Mir Croker's own study. Here on the wall is an address from the Democratic club of New York, of which the ex- leader is absolutely proud. Here, too, are some books, many of them relat- ing to American affairs, one by his friend, w. J. Bryan.
 And here, above all, are large pho tographs of MT. Croker's two dead sons. He shows the pictures to you without any apparent emotion, be- cause he is a man who has mastered emotion. Presently, as you go through the house, you will see, off the large and handsome corridor upstairs, q

Dublin.-Richard Croker displayed a distinct appreciation of the beautiful when he pitched his Tudor castle on the slope of the hills that encircle Dublin bay.
 Shown in by a neat-looking maid, your correspondent found himself in the presence of MT Croker himself, standing with a formidable looking pipe in his mouth, in the grand hall of the building, directing the operations of two local workmen, who were en- gagged in what seemed to be the rather difficult task of making the flue of the hall chimney work. It was a study in concentration. You might have i'm agined that nothing else existed at the moment, but the problem of that re- fractory f1ue.
 MT. Croker gave a friendly nod and then resumed his attitude of absorbed contemplation of the work, until the crisis in the operations had passed, when he turned round to his caller with an inquiring gaze. On hearing that the Sunday World desired to iofC oh lHtiuIdtS ucSGtiptlOu OI HIS home, and permission to photograph the interior, he replied: There need be no trouble about the photographs" and going into his study brought back a roll of them
 These" said he. "are all I've got. l ou are welcome to them
 MT. Croker had just come in from walk in the grounds, and wore loose frieze overcoat, knickerbockers, brown stockings and heavy shooting boots. He looked in perfect health.
 Your correspondent remarked that they believed in New York that he was about to return and take hand in politics again.
 They're wrong" said the former boss of Tammany Hall T shall never return to American politics again never, 1 think I've said that before more than once. and I'm not in the habit of going back on what I say. I'm out of American politics for good, but l hope to pay my personal friends there an occasional visit. When I go the papers will say that I am back on some political business, but they'll be wrong again.

 On the left of the staircase, as you go up, there is a fine piece of tapes try. showing Glencairne itself, with gaily-dressed women on the lawn.
 Setting aside the oratory and the fine corridor, there is nothing upstairs to show you, except an old-fashioned bed in one of the rooms, which once. it appears, belonged to Daniel O'Con- neil
 Old and Quaint Engraving.
 After this substantial piece of do mestic comfort, the thing that seemed to excite Mir Croker's interest most was an old and quaint engraving of a meeting of the pugilists, Heenan and Savers, hanging among other things of the kind, in passage leading to the billiard room.
 l mentioned the billiard room. Like the large strong room. with the Cro- ker archives, it is of MT Croker's study. and is noble apartment, con- taining two tables especially made for MT. Croker in the United States. This room can be entered not only from MT. Croker's own room. but also from the hall and again from the grounds; and. finally, there is communication with the kitchen, to facilitate the at- tendance of servants The walls are oak paneiied, and decorated with oi! paintings in chocolate tints, of many of the chief streets and buildings of New York, including Wall street. Tammany Hall, the post office. the city hall, Central park. Fifty-ninth street. Fifth avenue and the Demo cratic club.
 The bedrooms are in the Adam style. The bathrooms, etc, are sump- tuously fitted, and have beautiful tiled walls and floors, and all the bedrooms have their own supply of hot and cold water.
 The drawing room and dining room were the two last apartments to which MT. Croker conducted me- The most striking adornment of the draw 1 ing room is gigantic tiger rug with the head raised, the jaws open and the terrifying teeth fully displayed. 1 Glad to Show People Around.
