DONKEY HAULS WATER , (Continued from age 1) In one angle of the wall, raised a 'considerable distance above every- tlfing else, is the keep or citadel, the most strongly fortified point of the castle, where the defenders could take refuge and hold out for some time after the castle proper was taken. It has its own.well, so that they wouhl not suffer from thirst. ' Every castle of any importance has l a museum. Imleed, it would be more surprising for it to lack one than to be without walls. I felt instinctively that Carrisbrooke must have some partciularly juicy antiquities on view. I was nat disappointed. The old rooms above the gateway contain some splendid specimens of the mns and armor of the period of the Stuarts, not the clumsy armor of the days of lances, but light, tempered corslets calculated to turn a sword or even the bullet from a flintlock gun.. There were stone bannonballs which were comomnly used when the metal ones gave out. Explosive shells, it must be remembered, are a Wry recent invention. The real gems of the museum are the relics of Charles I, I saw sev- eral bibles and prayerbooks which he had used. Chares was a very religious man, and is still  regarded as a martyr by the Church of Eng- land. There is also a locket with some ofhis hair, the hingheworeand the delicate lace cravat whichhe had on the day he was executed. But I found at least as interesting a seal from a receipt for ship money (the illegal tax which started the Purian revolution.. It bore the picture of a ship, and was at least four inch.es in .diameter. Legal documents would not be considered dry and uninter- esting nowadays if they had not been stripped of their traditional adorn- ments. The real attraction of the castle the climax of the trip, is, strange to say, not a king, but the donkey which draws the water from the castle well. The well, which was made in :1150, is 161 feet deep, and the donkey .. , .' has to walk 300 yards in his wheel to td'aw one bucketfall. Willing and energetic, he starts right off as soon as he is placed in the wheel. But he, is far too wise to think he is going anywhere. e keeps one eye on the rope, and the moment the bucket appears, .- s dead, and sticks his head out or a lump of sugar. It is this patient, intelligent little fellow whom visitors remember long after their impressions of Charles I. have been forgotten. After all, it is better to be a living donkey than a dead king. J.
