Arundel Cattle

The recent birth of an heir to the
dukedom of Norfolk is a reminder that
this is the first occasion on which an
earl of Arundel has been born at Arun-
del castle. The stately Sussex home Of
the premier duke dates from the time
of King Alfred, who mentioned the
castle in his will. When it was taken
over by the eleventh duke he spent
about $4,000 on rebuilding and inn
provements, and it is understood that
the present duke of Norfolk has spent
fully million in like manner. The
south side and grand entrance, as well
as the old keep. are of Saxon archi-
lecture, but deep Norman doorway
splendid piece of work-marks the
chief entrance. The grounds of Arun-
del are exceptionally well kept, and
there is a story told of the duke that
during q school treat he was crossing
one of his lawns when a teacher fol-
lowed him. shouting: Come off the
grass at oncei 1t is people like YOU

The Peacock Kingdom

The little native state of Mourbhanj,
known as the peacock kingdom" is
the most northerly of the tributary
states of Orissa. The native chronicles
relate that the principality was founded
more than 1000 years ago. The chiefs
emblem of signature is peacock,
which is held sacred, and hence the
killing of this heraldic bird is strictly
forbidden throughout the state. The
state has an area of 4,243 square miles
and the country is varied in soil and
scenery 1t abounds in rich valleys,
but much of 1t is clothed with primeval
forest. The maharajah of Mourbhanj is
an enlightened prince and administers
his state on modern British lines. Seri-
culture is being encouraged, and null
perry groves have been planted. The
culture OF tasser silkworms Is an i'm
portant industry The industry Is in
a state OF decadence. The country is
rich In minerals and forests. but while
the latter are being exploited, the for
