4 MILES FROM CORK
Location Of Famous BIarney
Stone in Ireland.
IL Has Curious Hllstory-Some Say
kissing Rock Gives Eloquenee-
others Merely the Ability
10 Bluff.


Dublln.-The story OF the Blarney
stone Is surrounded with a careless
vagueness OF historical detail charao-
teristic OF Us comfy Of origin and
quite appropriate TO the nature OF the
yarn itself
Blarney is a village four miles
northwest OF Cork, with 500 inhabi-
tants. Il is situated on the Blarney
river and has some celebrity for its
tweeds. but the castle and It's stone
are, of course. the main glory OF the
place.
The castle is little. more than
square tower 120 feet high, with
machicolated battlements, aud It was
the stronghold OF the McCarthys.
The famous stone is OF triangular
shape, and II lowered from the north
angle OF the castle about 20 feet from
the top, It bears the following In
scrlption:
"Cormac Mccarthy Forts Ne
Flerl Fecit, a. d. 1916"
How the stone acquired its reputa-
tlon Is disputed, but the version given
by Wheeler's Familiar Allusions'
holds the field probably because 1t Is
the only connected story Offering any
thing like an explanation,
When or how 1t first got its singular
reputation Is not known, but the su-
perstition concerning It is firmly fixed
IN the minds OF the Irish peasantry,
hundreds of whom resort to the castle
every year for the purpose of kissing
a stone endowed with a property so
marvellous.
The story runs that in 1902 Cormac
Mccarthy. the lord OF Castle Blarney,
concluded an armistlce with Carew,
the lord resident, on condition Of sur
rendering the fortress to the English
garrison, but whenever the fulfllment
Of his pledges was demanded he in
vented some smooth and plausible ex-
cuse for delay, till Carew became the
laughing stock of Elizabeths minis
ters.

'blarney' became a byword and was

Wonderful Helen Keller Has
Learned How to Sing

Helen Adams Keller sang at the
biological Congress at the Harvard
Medical School
YET this charming and accomplished
young woman became deaf, dumb and
blind after a severe illness in Jan
uary, 1882, when she was but nineteen
months old.
Miss Keller who could not utter a
word, addlessed the scientists at the
congress who came from all over the
world, in three languages, English,
French and German.
John L. Wright of New York, who
has devoted his life to instructing deaf
mutes, and WAC was Miss Keller's
first teacher, introduced her to the
learned asssmbIage. She has been
studying singing for eighteen months
with Prof White of the Boston Con-
servatory Of Music. He seated him
self at the riano, striking few chords
and the Young woman began to sing.
AS she sang many Ia her audience
were moved to tears. Her tones were
low, but her voice, lost and restored,
reached every corner of the great
room.
Miss Keller seemed to look straight
ahead out of her sightless eyes, she
seemed to gaze into the faces of those
before her, to recogniza their emotions
to be conscious of their smiles, to be
fl attered, perhaps by their wonder.
There she stood, pure being, isoat-
ed. dwelling alone with her happy,
ccura4 eous thoughts.

TAXED BY PHYSICAL WEIGHT
Novel Scheme Of French Town Au-
thorites That Met With Bitter
Oppoaiton From the Women.

A small French town in the Ply.
senees district has struck a novel
way to increase revenue from taxa
ton. The ordinary channels not
bringing enough to carry out GER
tain projected improvements, the
municipal council decided to place a
tax on the physical weight of the citi-
zens. arranging the following scheme:
Below 135lb., no tax; from 135lb. to
200lb., 12s. annually is demanded;
from 200lb. to 270Ib., 1875; for all
weights above this figure the tax in.
creases at the rate Of 24s. for each
20lb.
Trouble came when the local au-
thorities tried to collect the tribute.
Most Of the fat people formed a COM
mittee to appeal to the project, who
represents the federal authority in
the district. Thus stay was gained.
But 1t appears probable that the town
could put into execution the new law
If 1t should fight the case in the courts.
Most Of the opposition came from the
women, who held meetings and torch
light professions to signify their oppO-
sition to the measure, which struck
them harder than their husbands.
