A Great oid Castle.

Raby castle, the seat of Lord Bar nard. is a famous old structure. On the ground floor is a mighty hall into which one might drive a coach. Above 1t runs a dining chamber ninety feet in length and thirty in breadth. It re- mains today as it stood in the days when the barons for whose entertain ment it was fashioned were almost the paramount power in the land. Seven hundred of the mighuest and noblest in the Kingdom dined simultaneously in this hall when the warlike Nevilles were established at Raby castle. The ancient chamber IS good for as many today. and there is accommodation enough for the cooking. The kitchen is a square Of thirty feet, with an oven so huge that at one time it was converted Into a wine cellar, the sides being dt vided into ten parts, each side holding a hogshead of wine in bottles.

1t has been outgrown and the state

that Idaho has multitude of re-

large number OF others-and as a
direct consequence intricate legal
questions are continually arising
that do not come ub in other states
upon the constitutions of which
that of Idaho is based.
One particular respect in which
the attorneys agreed the present
constitution should be amended was
for the incorporation of provision
for superior courts IN each county,
as has been heretofore suggested,
these courts taking the place of
both the probate and district courts.
