The Solid Hoofed Hog.

There are some solid hoofed hogs In
the world, but they are few and far
between. Darwin has great deal to
say about such pigs in his Origin Of
Species" as there were only three In
England at the time he wrote this
book. The solid hoofed hog is not a
freak of nature, as many suppose, but
a genuine case Of reversion to n print
tive or ancestral type. 1t seems that,
unlike the prehistoric ancestor Of the
modern horse, which has four toes or
hoofs, the old clotherium. from which
animal all members of the swine fam
lily are descended, had a solid hOof,
and in the course of ages, as the old
parent form died out and the modern
wild boar, domestic hog, peccary, etc,
were evolved this solid hoOf became
through what Darwin calls "adapta-
ton" and natural selection" divided
up into two parts, SO that all modern
hogs are cloven hoofed. Occasionally,
however, a hog is born with the old
original solid hoof Of the primitive hog
ancestor, thus demonstrating the tend
ency in all animals TO revert now and
then to the parent form.

Tho Castle of Despond.

One Of the finest French renaissance
buildings In France Is the Castle OF
Despond, famous In the legendary lore
OF the Toulousain country In which II
stands. Over the window of one of
the inner cOurtyards is sculptured in
the stone head above the motto,
"Plus d'Espoir." These were the last
words Of Rose de Martial, whose story
has been sung by the poets of Tou-
louise. She was the daughter of the
house of Martial, to whom the castle
belonged, and she was courted by the
lord of Castelnat, whose manor she
could see from her window. But, al
though she was beautiful and tender
hearted, the lord Tilted her, and she
fell into melancholy. She sat every
day by the window, whence she could
see the tickle lord OF Castelnat's
manor. One morning he passed by in
the valley below. she sang TO him,
but he never looked up "Plus d'Es-
poir." she cried and threw herself out
Of the window on TO the flags below,
where she was killed. The manor Of
Martial was known thenceforward as
the Castle Of Despond. The fine build
ing was falling to ruins when NJ. Fe-
naille bought 1t, and he had it com
pletely and skillfully restored before
making a gift Of it to the nation.
