The First Week's End. Wa (pent our first week' and at Wreat Park, and wars shown through lta spacious grounds. The house -itself Is only about TO years old. but the land has been In the hands of ths family for eev eral centuries. The eetate consists' of about 7.000 acres, most of It In cultiva tion. bu enough la left adjoining the house ror woods, parka, lawns and gar dsns, aad these hare baa laid out and ornamaatad by landscape gardeners. There are walks lined with statuary. green stretches of velvet turf, miles of well-kept hedge or holly aad box aad cedar, stately oaks, summer houses, tsa houses, greenhouses, aad everything In ths way of ornament that taste could dictate and money supply. The gardens are especially attractive. They were shut la by high walla and against these walls fruit tress, vines snd flower are trained with artlstlo ef fect, la ths hothouae peaches are ripen ing before 'their season, aad huge bunches of grapes are growing purple. Cucumbers, tomatoes and many other vegetables, as well as fruits, which ws grow out of doors, are in England raised and ripened under glass. The strawber erles are of enormous siae and the gooseberries are a large aa pigeon eggs. Within, the house are spacious room hung with pictures of ths nobility that hsve occupied the estate, and of mem bers of ths royal family who hare vis ited there. The library contains several thousand hooks accumulated through many genera U one. Inheritance Tax in England, Not fay from the house steads the manor church, supported by tithes, the ownsr of the estate usually selecting the minister. In many places the 'living," aa it la called, has asaasd to be of great value The Inheritance tax Is quite a heavy burden upon the ownsrs of these es tates, and many of -the landholders are so impoverished that they are obliged to rant their estates la order to raise the money to meet the tax. Moreton Frewen. who contributed ar ticles to the allver literature la less, and whose wife Is of American birth, took us down to hla place, Brede, which . is within eight of the battlefield of Hastings. ' It is a fine old house with a splendid view, aad the oak doors and woodwork, although 600 or 100 years old. are aa good as new. On the way to Brede we stopped for luncheon at Knots, another famous coun try place, owned by the West family. The present occupant. Lord Backvllls West, was once ambassador to America. It Is a historic place, and has seven courts, IS Stairways aad 865 windows. A Historic Place. The earliest record shows that the Earl of Albemarle gave the estate to his daughter when shs was married to the Earl of Pembroke Afterward it came lato the possession of Lord Say and Bele, aad hs conveyed (t to the archbishop of Canterbury, who at hla death bequeathed It to the See of Canterbury. Cramner occupied the place In the sixteenth cen- INTELLIGENCE of INSECTS nvn THERE la no doubt that eome of lower creatures are possessed of reasoning faculties. There sre Insects which undoubtedly can reason and count. One curious ln . stance which bears upon the queetlon of the mental ability, the reasoning power, snd the moral sense of insects. Is that of the methods of one of the species of solitary wasps. The female of this species always supplies the cell of her young with a glvsn quantity of food. The male cells, for Instance are supplied with 10 vic tims la the form of small caterpillar for tha suateaanoe of tha grub; but the female cell are supplied with 10 vic tim. The difference in the number of vic tim la due to the fact that th female grubs are larger, and therefore require more nourishment than the mals grubs, till, under any circumstances, the actu al number of caterpillars supplied never varies. Thue It Is seen that eome In sects must he able to count. Moreover, It la the case that soms In sects have a moral sense. Communi ties of ants, although nearly aa Urge as London In number, never quarrel or have family Jar among themselvea They are not only very ready to help one another, but numerous acts of kind ness sre to be p received. An Instance has bean recorded by Lord Avebury, as coming under bis notice, where a crip pled sat had been supported by her relatives for three months. Ants are exceedingly particular In sects, and seem to possess reasoning powers, from the way la which they cleaa their persons. The sat goes through s cleaning process) more elabo rate than that of a oat. Not only does aa aat wash hsrself. hut another usual ly acta for a tiro as lady's maid. The assistant starts by washing tha face of her companion, aad from that goea ever the entire body. The attitude of the cleansed one la one of entire satisfac tion, resembling that of a dog er eat when hie bead la being scratched. Ants certainly seem to possess Intel ligence. An example Is that shown by a species of email grap ants. Thes sre engaged greatly In traveling, and tbey go about la troops. Wails the mala body Is always en foot, It Is usu rwL AexeaaaV ' ' s! g fck .sae. agrtt-sxaea HOrtB OB tury and conveyed It to Henry VIII. (Cramner will be remembered as ons of the three bishops who were burned at the stake.) It was once In the posses sion of Queen Mary and afterward of Queen Elisabeth, who conveyed it to Dudley, her favorite earl. The houss Is a veritable museum aad art gallery, and contains hundreds of pictures, msny of tbsm of kings aad others prominent In English history. One of ths rooms was fitted up by Jamas I for himself when be paid a visit to Knots, and the room is kept aa It was. The bed la said to have cost 143, 000, and ths curtains and bed cover are embroidered with gold and silver. The mattress are of white satin and the walla are hung with Flemish tapeatry representing scenes from the history of Nebuchadnsxxar. Great Dining Hall. The great hall used as a dining room Is Tl feet long and half aa wide At one end Is a raised floor, where the table of the lord of the manor stood; below him sat the retainers aad lowsr members of the household. A Hat of !! names la preserved, that being the number of those who regularly took their meals la the hall la 12 . Ia this hall there la a large collection of allver and pewter vessels, handed down from generation to generation. The grounds and garden. I nsed hardly add. are In keeping with the interior or ths castle We saw here one of the prettiest speci mens of the skill of the horticultur ist's art that has come under our' ob servation. Orape vines are grown la large pots and trained upon a hoop-like trellis. When we were there the clus ters of ripened grapes added to the beauty of the vines. We spsnt one night at Broughton caatle as the guests of Lord and Lady y-"ms The hoat and hostess have often visited the United States and era quite liberal la their political Mews. They are also identified with the com munity, encouraging artlstlo 'Industry such as wood carving and ths liks by which the young people may add to their Income as well as develop their taste Responsibilities of the Lord. In thla connection it should be ex plained that the owner of aa estate oc cupies a responsible position. While hs draws rent from his tenanta he la ally accompanied by at least one of Ite own sort mounted on a very large ant This ant mounts and detaches himself now snd thsn from the line, rides rap Idly to ths bead, comes swiftly back, to the rear, end In fact seems to act as the commander of the expedition. In feet one species of ant employs a larger ant as we employ horses to ride upon, although scarcely more than one ent ia each colony seems to he provided with a mount These lower e restore often show a capability of coplag with exceptional difficulties which undoubtedly argue a possession of distinct reasoning powers. At times tbey are very resourceful, aad sxhiblt a remarkable cunning. Snails, for example, are very sly, and are aot easily beaten. Camilla Spies, ths naturalist haa recorded that at the foot of Jura, In the canton of Vaud, Uvea a farmer who raises edible snails (Helix pomatla). Thla farmer has as many ae 60,000 la aa tneloaure at oae time The lnctosure Is surrounded by e wooden fence, about t feet high, and In order to prevent the escape of the moliuaks tha top of the fence Is cov ered with S board. The edge of this beard le armed with very sharp metal lic points. To his aatonlshmsnt the snails appear to have discovered the mean to surmount th barrier. When eloesly watched It seem that a number climbed the fence until they reached the top. Then they formed a sort of ladder, those behind passing over the shells of th ethers la front snd so all but one got safely over the top with out being impaled on the metal points. On the other hand, facts seem to show thgt .there is a positive want ef Intelligence In son creatures. For ex ample, a be put Into sa open glass bottle with the glaaa end toward the light, will Invariably blunder at the glass end, without trying to gst out at the open end. This argue a decided lack of Intelligence. Again, take the case of the proosa slonal caterpillar, ae an example of a lew order of Intelligence. It Is ths habit of processional caterpillar whan out for an expedition to weave a thread. By means of this thread they find their way back. A small party were very nicely lured by aa Ingenious man of science up a flower pot and around the ton. The GiA2ASTCL7VB expected to be their patron and pro tector as well as their general adviser. He provides the Christmas festivities, gives presents to the children and looks after the alck. The moral atandarda which he sets up have a large Influence upon the re ligious and social life of the community and the conscientious land owner is able to do a great deal of good. Broughton castle Is near Banbury the Banbury cross, Immortalised la child rhymes by the woman "who rode a white horae" and waa frequented by Cromwell and hla chiefs. In one of the rooms, aa tradition goes, the death warrant of Charles I was signed. The house is of stone and the roof Is cov ered with stone tile and a good roof it still is, though 000 years old. In some of the rooms line oak paneling had been painted over aad In other room handsome atone 'walla had been disfigured with plaster, but ths present occupant Is restoring these. The Family Chapel. As la many of the larger aad older country places, Broughton has a little chapel of Its own, where the family as sembled for divine service The caatle la surrounded by a shaded lawn, orna mented by hedge evergreens, flower beds and rose-covered arbors aad around all these runs the moat, fed from neighboring streams. The mem ory of feudal times 1 preserved by the tower, drawbridges and massive gates. English history i Illuminated by theae ancient country aeata and much In English home life Is explained that would otherwise be difficult to under stand. ' Warwick castle is near Lemlngton and but a few miles from Broughton. It Is probably the most visited of all the caatles of England and is still In the family of the Earl of Warwick, the king-maker. It Is built upon the bank of the Avon aad haa a deep, dark dun geon and lofty towers aad all the ac cessories Of aa ancient fortress. Ths great hall Is filled with armor and heirlooms. The house contain a val uable collection of painting by old masters aad the furniture of the sleep ing rooms Is as remarkable for lta de sign a for Its antiquity. A few weeks ago a pageant. Illustrating ths history of ths castle, was given on the bank of the stream and attended by aoma .0,000 vialtors. A REAL NOVELTY IN VISITING CARDS a, A x-0000 card I v TO Marshall P.

Ths younger children, reared to expect little except In cass of the death of thoss oldsr, seem to accept the situation aa a matter of course, and ten anta descended from generations of ten ants seem to acoulesce without protest in ty tenure which deprives them of tbs prospect of ownership.

After all, the large estates srs Insig nificant In number when compared with the home of the middle classes In ths various eltles and village, but these are so much like the home In America, both In appearance and in management, that It la not necessary to dwell upon them. The owners of these homes are potent In arllamentary elections, a are also the laboring men, slthough the house of lords represents the lsnded proprietors, more than one third of all the farm landa In England being owned by mem bers of that body.
