THE TfflCE-t-MEER ISSPE OF THE CrLOBE- -DEMOCRAT Raby Castle Has Figured In History Since Fourteenth Century.

Raby is one of the finest castellated mansions in England, and except a part of the south front is an addition by Inigo Jones, the edifice retains most of its ancient character. It was built by John de Neville at the end of the fourteenth centusry and was the home of the Nevilles until their undoing came with the "rising of the north." Several hundred followers of the house of Neville to gather in the great hall at Raby, and in the same hall the gentlemen of the north met fn council and lid plans for rein-statins the old religion. Charles I. twice visited Raby on his way to Scotland, aad when Sir Harry Vane on one occasion disparagingly alludad to the castle as a hillock of stone the king retorted that he had not such another hillock fn his realm. A noticeable feature at Raby is the unique carriage way, which passes through the lower hall.

It was a quaint Idea on the part of the former owner of Raby to wish to drive his coach and four right through the castle and alight in the middle of the hall, but ft is a pity that in order to gratify it he should have destroyed the barbacan and several fine windows. Some of the tenants on the estate have from father to Bon held their farms from the time of the Nevilles, and one family possesses an original lease In Latin dating from the reight of Edward VI. Origin of the "Broad Arrow." The unmistakable "broad arrow," of which the escaping Gloucester convicts naturally tried to rid themselves as soon as possible, has no inherent penal significance, bnt Is simply the sign of state ownership on the prison clothes, says the London Chronicle. How this arrow came to be a royal mark is quite uncertain. The story that it was taken from the arms of Henry Viscount Sydney, who was master general of ordnance at the end of the seventeenth century, is exploded by the fact that it was a royal mark before his time.

Pepys hankered after the idea that the "arrow" might be really an anchor, and others have seen In it a commemoration of the English archers' prowess. It has been boldly identified also as the three nails of the cross, as a mystic Druid letter slg nifying superiority, and as the. symbol of Mithras as sun god.

I find the typical Spaniard of to-day in an Aragonese peasant, elderly but lithe, whom I lately saw jump from the train at a little country station to examine a very complicated French agricultural machine drawn up in a siding; he looked at it above and below with wrinkled brows and intent eyes, he ran all around it, he clearly could not quite make it out; but there was no flippancy or indifference in his attitude toward this new, strange thing; he would never rest, one felt, until he reached the meaning of it.

And the grief of many of us will be that in this eager thirst for novelties the Spaniard will cast aside not a few of the things which now draw us to Spain. Havelock Ellis, in the rifpfflt least.
