MAY.

May is the fifth month in the Gregg
rian calendar. Among the Romans it
was sacred to Apollo, and almost every
day was festival. On the 9th, 18th
and 18th days was celebrated the festi-
val of the lemuria in memory of the
dead, and consequently it was believed
that marriages contracted in this month
would result fatally.
From the ancient Floralia, or festival
in honor of Flora, celebrated from
April % to May 2, is, perhaps, derived
the medieval and modern custom of OBJ
serving the first of May with festive and
floral rites. 1t was usual to adorn not
only houses and gates, but also church
es, with boughs and flowers. Hall mem
tions in his Chronicles" that Henry
VIII rode a Maying with Queen Cath.
crime and many lords and ladies from
Greenwich to the high ground of Shoot
er's Hill. The Druids were accust0m
ed to light large fires upon the summit!
Of the hills on the eve of May.
During this month every field o
bushes and hedgerows is bird-meadOw
The cooling of the ring dove, the will,
pigeon and the turtle is characteristic 0
the spring; but the great mark of tn,
vernsl season in England is the song 0
the cuckoo. His voice is heard through
all May. 1t is in this month that tn
creeping crow-foot, daisies, buttercup4
ETC., cover the ground with their varie
gated flowers and the orchards run rio
! with blossoms.

With chime TO the strenuous wave of

A TASTEFUL way to arrange the mar
row cul tam at each side of hall door
is to make them of muslin or of lace;
gather them at the top and bottom;
have the muslin full, About midway
between the bottom tie a ribbon around
the muslin, make pretty bow, and let
it come next to the glass. Tie the rib.
bon so close that the muslin will be
drawn III at the centre; let the muslin
hang loosely and gracefully, not in stitl
folds. If there are no other windows
III the hall, plenty of light will be ad-
mltted by this arrangement. Dotted
muslin is preferred to plan.

St. Louis, '1e.-Aj the corners
inquest on the body of Rush II.
TeYis to day, Mrs. Tevis stated that
business troubles had caused the
suicide. She said Tevis came home
last night very drunk and very dis
pondent, and said it would be better
for both to die. He pointed pistol
at her, but she ran out of the room;
heard the shot which killed her
husband fired Immediately after she
got out. Mrs. Tevls gave her testi-
mony in very self contained,
unemo tionsl manner. She stated
very positively that jealousy had
nothing to do with the e'ime. Other
witnesses when examined who CT
roborated Mrs. TeYis' statement.
The verdict was suicide. The fune-

family over his remarrage with his
wife after the divorce were part Of

settlement with the holders of bonds
which effort was met with uncom-
promised resistance, captious Oppo>
sition and technical quibbling. The
total OF the States responsibility,
patience and resources are now be-
lieved to be exhausted in eff Jrts to
maintain the credit of Virginia;
that no substantial equivalent, walls
liable consideration can be shown
upon which these bends were
made, that the holders were
merely adventurous speculstors,
who had already realized from the
bonds much more than thsir origin
al cost; that syndicate has been
formed by these spectators for the
purpose of perpetusting the legal
prosecution Of the people Of Virginia,
and preventing settlement OF this
unproven debt, 60 that they may not
have their cl.ims tested, but may
continue to draw interest thereon;
that certain debts are positively
prohibited by article IA, section l of
the federal constitution; that we
express our unalterable opposition
to the payment of any part OF this
alleged debt or interest thereon.
The auditor Of public accounts Is
instructed to forth with refuse pay
ment of interest on any bonds al
legged to be held against Virginia.
The resolution went over till Nom
