How Macbeth, Who Founded It, Hap
pened to Select Its Site.
The late Earl of Cawdor was the
owner of two charming residences IN
Wales-Stackpole Court, Pembroke
shire, where he died, and Golden
Grove, Carmarthenshire-b these
were mere pleasure houses by compar4'
son with the ancestral home of tbs
Campbells, Cawdor castle at Marin.
This fine north British dwelling re.
NAMED almost undistuYbed from the
death of Sir Hugh Campbell in 1915
for q period of nearly 100 years, when
it was conscientiously restored by its
late owner CaWdor castle itself had
it's rise in fierce and wild age, around
which traditions of hazy nature clus-
ter. 1t is legend in Marin that the
murder by Macbeth was committed in
an old chamber Of the castle tower,
and visitors wishing to conduct them
selves with gravity and respectful rever-
ence are expected to receive this story
with an expression Of solemnity not I'M
tinged with awe. That the ''silver
skim of King Duncan was ''laoed with
his golden BLOOD in this particular
apartment is fable that need not now
be enlarged upon.
Cawdor castle by its outward aspect
is, however, strongly suggestive in its
gaunt and minatory massiveness of the
fierce and troublous times of the a1nbi-
tious Macbeth. The story goes that the
thane who founded it was much con-
cerned about the choice of an abode
and was warned in dream to place his
worldly wealth in a Golfer and to bind
it upon the back of an ass and wher-
ever the animal should halt to set
about his work The ass "came to a
sandstill at the russetburn at the third
hawthorn from the starting point" and
lay down. Curiously enough. as if to
confirm this tradition, to this day in
the dungeon beneath the tower haw-
thorn grows The other two trees have
disappeared, the last one as lately as
1886 Many stirring tales are told Of
the later history of Cawdor castle,
which came to be left untenanted for
long years owing to the Campbells de-
parting for Wales, where they married
young ladies with ample fortunes. -

A Novelty In Bells.

Herr Appunn Of Hanau has invented
a bell of new shape, which is said to
have very deep tone and to be as pow
erful as considerably heavier bells of
the form at present in vogue. The shape
is peculiar, being hemispherical, while
the metal is uniform in thickness ex-
cept near the "sound bow" (or the
thickened tip which the clapper strikes).
From the edge to some little distance
above the sound bow the metal is very
thick, and then alters suddenly to the
uniform thickness which it has for the
rest of the bell. Invention.

WHERE THE JOKE CAME IN.
The Boys Hauled the Professor Back
Much to Their Chagrin.

The Boys Hauled the Professor Back,
Much to Their Chagrin.
A very good story is told of the head
of O college who was the possessor of a
very clumsy, old fashioned vehicle to
which he was very partial and which
he constantly used in riding through the
streets of the town, to the disgust of
most of the students.
A plan was formed among some of
the boys that on certain night they
would remove this offensive vehicle
from the coachhouse to a wood about
half mile from the college. Their in
tention was to run the carriage into the
khickest of the woods and underbrush
and leave it there.
But the principal by some means
learned or suspected their intention.
Accordingly, in the evening, he
quietly went out to the coachhouse,
and, well wrapped up, crouched in q
corner of the carriage and waited.
Soon the boys came, very stealthily,
and, without looking into the vehicle,
began their operations very quietly, and
in whispers, and with many 'Hush"
and "Take care" and "Look out, " they
succeeded in getting it out of the house
and yard and into the road.
There they were all right, but they
were puzzled to find the thing SO heavy
to haul, and amid grumblings and puff
ings and paintings, varied occasionally
with strong expression Of disgust, they
succeeded in reaching the woods, the
principal listening to their complaints
and rather enjoying the situation.
Having with some difficulty backed
the carriage into the brush, they began
to congratulate each other on the sue
cess of their maneuver The old gentle
man, letting down the window, to their
utter surprise and alarm, very quietly
said:
CHOW, young gentlemen, just take
me back very carefully, if you please. I"

Looking back to those old days, re-
call that Louisiana was one of the very
few states which required two vents for
their legislatures. Connecticut was one,
with Hartford and New Haven as cap
itals, and Rhode Island, the smallest of
states, was another, with Providence
and Newport. OF late years there has
been sort of Capitalization of capitals

terprising city i'll a state has fallen into
disuse. You might tramp all over any

man what he thought was the reason
for the wealth of capitals in earlier
times.
'In those days, he said, 1.-THE states
were young and tender and had not
fully developed their muscle and their
power of resisting great assaults. 1t
was therefore to distribute the evil Of
legislature sitting over great deal of
country so as not to give any particular
city the worst of it. AS time went ON
and town showed especial hardihood
and ability to stand great calamity the
legislature was switched upon it as
perpetual and permanent institution.
New Orleans and Newport and other
towns which in other days were capitals

to win out sending the legislature in

the other to Providence 1t takes game
