full of wonderful and mysterious
tales and wend your way TO the cas-
tie. You take your time climbing the
spiral, uneven stone steps of the keep,
for they are very steep and long. But,
at last, you reach the top and stop TO
look east west, north and south, at
the charming views; little green and
brown fields, marked off by hedges,
dark clumps of woodland, here and
there a sparkling blue lake or daz-
Zling clump of gorSe. But you soon
hear stified shrieks and EXPLANATIONS
from the other side of the parapet, so
you make your way to the spot. Yes,
there someone is about to kiss the
Barney stone. A big stalwart youth
is lying down upon his back, his head
towards square opening in the out
er wall of the parapet; another strong
youth, perhaps two of them, sit down
upon his feet, so as to hold them firm
ly. Then the seeker after eloquence
grasps an iron bar, placed In position
for this purpose, swings himself down
through the opening in the parapet re-
ferred to, pulls himself up again on the
outside, and just manages to kiss the
surface of the Barney Stone; then, be-
ing strong and 1.-THE, he jerks his head
back in again and suddenly he is again
sitting up on the floor of the parapet
and the others boys are letting go of
his feet. 1t wasn't so hard to do after
all, you think; at least, not If you are
a strong young boy who does not mind
looking down all those giddy feet to
the trees growing against the foot of
the keep. But, doubtless, you are wise
enough to content yourself with watch
Ing others kiss the Barney Stone and
with buying post card showing the
famous stone, with its Latin inscrip-
ton, "COrmac MacCarthy Forts Ne
Fieri Feclt, A. d. 1896" which, trans
lated in Irish, mean,
"COrmac Mccarthy, bould as bricks,
Made me in Fourteen Forty-six."
Really, you know, it does not pay
to go to the trouble of kissing the
stone, for it may even not be the
identical one which Cormac MacCarthy
the Strong knew. Many people insist
that that stone was long ago removed
from its position, that this is not the
genuine stone at all; at any rate, it
seems that the stone once fell from its
place. Probably it is as well to ac--
quire eloquence In some other way.

Great Russian Voiced His Aversion to

Beyond Misunderstanding.

Some journals of Leo Tolstoy tina,

things, that he had peculiar taste In
music. He did not admire Beethoven,
and he could not sit through single
act of Wagner's "Siegfried." OF this
opera he wrote: at is stupid, unfit for
children above seven years of age, a
Punch and Judy show, pretentious,
feigned, entirely false ard without any
music whatever" In his home at Vas

necessarily on four grand pianos, rea-
son enough, one might think, why he
should dislike all music forever. Re-
calling this. he said: "All this-the ro-
mances, the poems, the music-was
not art, something important and nee
essary to people i'm general, but a self
indulgence of robbers, parasites, who

love disgustingly, poetry about this or
about how one languishes from bore
