There are few buildings In Ireland
like Gle4cairne. Most Of the great
residential houses In this country
were erected In the eighteenth CEN
fury, when domestic architecture was
conceived In somewhat commonplace
vein. Glencairne Is not unique, but
is certainly exceptional in Ireland. 1t

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 well known Irish judge, is incor-
porated In 1t.

viii Give Pet Proper Burial.

Members of the Rescue fire com.
pany are soliciting funds which will
be devoted to buying burial ground
for "Old Mack" a fire horse which has
been In the service of the Rescue for
81 years, relates the York, Pa, cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press.
Mack is not yet dead and Is still
able to perform service. On account
of his great age, however, the Rescue
boys. all of whom have kindly feel.
ing for the faithful animal, realize that
the horse cannot live many more
years. They propose to purchase q
lot and erect thereon fitting monu-
ment to York's oldest fire horse.
Mack" is considered to be one of
the most intelligent horses in the city
and is present at all banquets Of the
Rescue company.
At present he is not In active ser.

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 q neat-looking maid,
your correspondent found himself In
the presence of Mr.. Croker himself,
standing with a formidable looking
pipe In his mouth, in the grand hall of
tho building, directing the operations
OF two local workmen, who were en-
gagged In what seemed to be the rather
difficult task of making the fiue Of
the hall chimney work. 1t 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 fiue.
Mr.. 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
have an intimate description of 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.
You are welcome to them"
Mr.. Croker had just come in from
Q walk in the grounds, and wore a
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. Il shall never
return to American politics again
never! think I've said that before
more than once, and I'm not in the
habit Of going back on what l say.
I'm out of American politics for good,
but hope to pay my personal friends
there an occasional visit. When l go
the papers will say that am back on
some political business, but they'll be
wrong again."

but perfectly polite determination ex.

time. by way Of more effectually
changing the conversation. or rather

the way into the Japanese room.

A gasoline tank rarely explodes. It

never present. 1t does not explode

Bathlnu in the Dead Sea.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 No sooner has one plunged into the water than one Is whipped off ones feet and goes bobbing helplessly about like a wretched cork,' says Rev. Haskett Smith of bathing in the Dead Sea. "In the effort to regain ones footing and to get back to shore ones feet and shins are parked by the jagged stones and pebbles. and when at length one does emerge from it's treacherous bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes aware of horrible tingling and burning sensation In eyes, ears. nostrils. mouth and almost every pore of the skin from the brine and btumen which have penetrated everywhere. Unless great care is taken the bather in the Dead Sea Is liable to an eruption which breaks out all over his body and which is commonly known as the Dead Sea rash The best antdote to this is to hurry across as quickly as possible to the River Jordan and take a second plunge therein. The soft and muddy waters of that sacred but dirty stream will effectually remove the sal. that has incrusted the body"

Gray Hair.

Gray hair is caused by several things, not any one of which is thoroughly under stood. But this is known-impoverished condition of the scalp often hastens the so-called troubles. However, viewed in the proper light, gray hair is mark Of dignity in a woman, and should be re- spected, even by herself. Once 1t has made its appearance, let her make un- sparing effort to keep it white and sort. Gray hair requires far more care than the other coors.
 One of the most important things in the care of gray hair is frequent washing This should occur at least once eeVry two weeks If this makes 1t too dry, a very little bit of good brilliantine should be rubbed through the hair with sthe brush Beware of tonics. dandrun cures and so on for though there may be some that will not discolor the hair 1t IS not safe to experiment, for it must be re- membered that the hair is white, not just light, as is golden hair. Take other means to restore gloss and vigor. The best IS constant massage of the scalp and daily brushings of hundred strokes each. Never curl the hair with hot or even warm iron, and always brush and braid it loosely at night.

 The best thing for blackheads is hot water and a good medcated soap, with a good complexion brush. Do not squeeze them out, as this enlarges the pores. See that your digestion is well cared for, as a good complexion depends on this more than anything else.

Red Nose.

Afflicted-A red nose is often due to indigestion; the other condition is due to a disturbance in the sebaceous glands - steam and massage will overcome tnis trouble. Each night cleanse the face with cleansing cream. In the morning bathe in hot and cold water alternately, once a week steam and massage for ten min utes; this will improve the circulation and cause proper secretions of the ol glands.
