CASTLE or DEsPoND.
Il Got Its Dismal Name From Tragedy
Born of Love.

Il Got Its Dismal Name From a Tragedy
Born Of Love.
One of the finest French renaissance
buildings in France is the Castle of
Despond, famous in the legendary lore
of the TouIousian country In which it
stands. Over the window Of one of
the inner courtyards is sculptured in
the stone a 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.
Rose de Martial was the daughter of
the house of Martial, to whom the cas-
tie 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. 'Plns d'Espoir!'
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 Cas-
tie of Despond.
The fine building was falling to ruins
when NJ. Fenaille bought it, and he
had it completely and skillfully restor-
ed before making gift Of it to the ma
ton

The first hat of straw to be worn In
the United States appeared in 1870.
Straw had been used before to thatch
houses, but not the heads of civilized
citizens. 1t made comfortable bedding
for cattle and was stuffed in sacks to
increase the softness of the pine boards
used by men and women to sleep on.
But straw for the head? Never! 1t
might do for the tropical savages, but
not for the inhabitants of the great
zone in which the progressive nations
lived.
Previous to 1900 men had worn felt
and cloth hats. And it was not till
the time of Elizabeth that men began
to wear hats at all. in distinction from
caps and bonnets. The blossoming OF
literature In the Elizabethan period
was contemporary with the building
of brims on head coverings and their
transmogrification into hats.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

DEEP SEA FISHES.
Some That Get Along With Only One
Meal or So Year.

Meal or So Year.
There are more than 10000, 900 square
miles covered by depth Of three miles
Of sea, but even at this great depth
where the pressure of the water above
would instantly crush mans body to
pulp-there is great world of life.
Many of the fish and other creatures
Of the deep are blind.
They are, however, able to see by
means of the lights which they carry
themselves.
The Clamps" are little organs dotted
over the body, and with the light from
them, which is made in much the same
marvellous way as the glow worms,
they can use their bulging eyes to see
what is going on about them.
But even with the ready made light
ing apparatus and telescope eyes 1t Is
a difficult business finding dinner, SO
the fish have jaws with an enormous
gape and a stomach SO elastic that
they can accommodate a larger fish
than these voracious eaters themselves.
When they have made such cap
ture they retire for something like
years meditation to digest the meal,
two or three of which are sufficient to
last an average lifetime-London An

HENRY SHRAPNEL.
Inventor of the Deadly War Missile and
His Reward.

inventor Of the Deadly War Missile and
His Reward.
Shrapnel was originally the name OF
> British general who. about a hun
dred years ago, was begging the board
of ordnance of his native land for some
substantial recognition In respect of
the new and deadly missile he had
placed absolutely at their service and
was being told that the institution in
question "had no funds at its disposal
for the reward of merit"
Henry Shrapners invention was
probably first employed at Surinam in
1904 and was then "favorably report
ed on but eleven years later Sir
George Wood, who commanded the ar
tillery at Waterloo, declared that
shrapnel had won that famous battle.
Without it, Wood asserted. no effort of
the British could have recovered the
farmhouse of La Haye Sainte.
In 1914 the government granted
Shrapnel a pension of f1.2OO a year
for life, but this was interpreted by
his paymasters to cover all the inven-
tions Shrapnel had given to the army,
including an ingenious gun mounting
whereby the recoil was utilized to
bring one gun into action at the same
time as another was put under cover.
Shrapnel was thus placed at disad-
vantage, though he had the satisfac'
tion of drawing his pension to a ripe
old age. He died in 1912. aged eighty
one.-Argonaut.
