thing they like to lie about is kissing
the blarney stone
"a lot of travellers claim to have per-
formed that osculatory stunt, and they
dilate on the experience with a glib
ness that gives color to their assertion
Maybe few Of them really have ac-
complished the feat, but their number
stands in the proportion to those who
have not as to 10000.
kissing the barney stone is not an
easy thing to do. If the boosters would
only look up few facts in the case and
find out what difficulties are encoun-
tered in performing the rite they
would have less to say on the subject.
SIN the first place, the precious stone
is near the top OF one of the great tow
ers of the castle. TO reach it you
would have to climb l25 feet inside Of a
dark, cavernous donjon. Then, when
you have come to the nearest opening
in the massive wall, you have to be
hung out of the window, head down
ward, over parapet, 10y the heels.
Even when suspended in this inverted
position a person has to be about seven
feet tall in order TO reach the stone and
imprint thereon the devotional smack.

the length of body required, lot of

well to omit the barney stone from

The city of st. Paul gets its water
supply from several springfield lakes
supplemented by artesian wells This
is supposed to be a.pure water supply
and the mortality rate at st. Paul bears
out the supposition.
The st. Paul death rate in 1910 was
smaller than in any Of the fifty largest
cities in the country, with the excep-
ton Of Seattle, Wash, and Portland,
Ore, The rate in 1910 in st. Paul was
ll.9 to the 1000 and the claim is made
that in 1912 it was only l02. The typ
hold fever death rate in St. Pau in 1910
was 100 to the 100000 of population,
an exceedingly low figure as compared
with the great majority Of American
cities. According TO health depart
ment reports the city is practically free
from typhoid fever.
1t would have been more convenient
and less costly for St, Paul to have
ntlllHed the wafer OF the MisSissipDi
River, but it was the height Of wisdom
not to do 50. The big rivers of the
country are becoming vast sewers and

accusation against God ard master we
shall write on all walls, wherever
there are walls-we have letters for
making even the blind see. we call

too militant or too mean if thereby we
can rid ourselves of them. We call
God and master the one immortal blem-
ish of mankind"
