Althoush called a castle, this ancUnt dwelling Is really a fortified manor, and nil of Its ancient characteristics have been maintained through the Inst 000 year?. The great hall, which Is over W) feet long and SO feet wide. Is easily the most striking feature of the old manor house. The wludows of the castle are all large, and the hall was thus made a much more pleasant 'place to live In than, the mnjority of houses built In England at that time. Daring the thirteenth century the thunders Drst bepaa to make English dwelling houses pleasant to live In, laUeiid of mere' places of shelter or defense. Windows of the king's houses were ordered to be glazed, outside doors to hava protecting porches, fire ytaces to be built, and numerous other household additions made. In some places the windows were filled with Minted glass and the walls decorated t.Wlth rare paintings. ' Bluffing Among the Reptiles. ' The ancient practice of bluffiug Is not limited to the human species. Va rious animals pretend to bo worse than' they are. The hog-nosed snake Is a perfectly harmless little fellow, with no capa cities in the way of poison, and yet this reptile, which is rather pretty, is given such sinister names as flat-head- I'ed adder nnd sand viper, nnd Is uunl ly killed on sight. This Is bccnu,-e It hnn the habit of flattening Its heiul and puffing out Its neck and hissing vio lently, which Is for no other purpose than to frighten off Intruders. It is n plain bluff, to give tho Impression that the repttlu has poison fangs. This counterfeit Is usually taken nt its true value, and ulTords tin hop nosed snnke considerable protection, except In tho case of human beings, who destroy the Innocent reptile on ' sight, when It Is not only harmlos hut useful also In keeping down vermin.
