Beivoir Castle.

Belvoir castle has come in for fair
share Of newspaper anecdotes. Pseudo
Gothic in style, its broad turrets and
battlemented walls stand on the top of
mound which was thrown up at the end
of a spur of the Leicestershire wolds by
Robert de Todeni, standard bearer Of
the Conqueror. From its "lordly ter
races" the eye ranges over wide ex-
panse of landscape, on which there rise
conspicuous the ruined keep of Noting
ham and Lincoln's cathedral towers.
The works Of art are numerous, but,
with one or two exceptions, of secondary
importance In the cellar is monster
cask of ale called after the founder of
the castle. Its capacity is l 300 gallons,
and twelve people have dined in it.
There is also a silver punch bowl, rest
ing upon four massive eagles claws,
which is used on the occasion of a fam
lily christening. At the foot of the
wooded hill is stabling for 100 horses; a
mile and half distant are the kennels
for the fox hounds, and from the trees
somewhat farther off there emerges the
steeple of the village of Wolsthorpe,
where is farm noted for the breeding
of prize cattle.-London Star.

time, finding that each of them was
known by some handy nickname, he al
lowed them to drop his formal title and
answered readily to that bestowed upon
himself. He was known simply as

temper accepted the name Of Herring

A neallx Ahsentminacd Woman.

An absentminded woman put herself
on record the other morning in a cross
town car, which she boarded at Sixth
avenue, bound east. She paid her fare.
said "Third avenue" to the conductor,
took second nickel for her ticket on the
elevated, and, shutting her purse, gave
herself over to some evidently absorbing
thought.
The car was full of changing people,
as is usual with crosstown cars, and a
moment later the conductor, making his
round again, noticed the nickel and me-
chanically reached for 1t. This woman
gave 1t to him without word and rode
on. Near Fourth avenue she suddenly
started out of her reflections, glanced
around, saw that she was near her des-
tination, took out third nickel to have
1t ready and once more knit her brews
in meditation. Before Third avenue was
reached the conductor passed her again
This time she proffered him the nickel,
which he would stolidly have taken save
for the intervention of an old gentleman
seated opposite.
Madam" he said, 'you have already
paid your fare twice"
The woman started and looked con-
fused, then light dawned on her face,
she thanked the gentleman, put her
nickel into her purse and the purse deep
into mysterious pocket somewhere in
the back Of her dress just Us Third
avenue was reached. When last seen
she was hurrying up the stairs strug-
Cling to fish the purse out in search of

The Highland Pipera.

The Highland pipers have always been
noted for bravery in action. At Porto
Novo the Seventy-first's piper played
with such good will that Sir Eyre Coote
called out, "Well done, my brave fel-

for thisr' At Vimiero piper unable to
walk coolly sat down and played, "Up
and war them a, Willie" for which the
Highland society afterward presented
him with set of pipes. Cornhill Maya
