A ROMAN VILLA IN KENT,

Preservation nt DartfOrd.


In comparatively unfrequentel
corner Of County Kent-one Of the rival
competitors for that proud if shadowy
title. ''the garden of England"-has
been discovered, after long burial, IL
Roman villa in an excellent condition
of preservation. 1t is within practi.
cally short hail Of the bustling and
thriving town Of hartford, that quaint
spot with Il chulchyard higher than
the church. yet sufficiently far of to
he secluded from the busy haunts Of
men. Close to Darenth church is the
locality of the ''find," and it is to the
enterprise Of Mr.. A. T. Cloves, of Mr.
Marchallt and of Mrs. Roils-Hoare that
Investigations have been for some time
In course of progress which cannot
fail to possess special features of at
tractlveness and sympathy for all en-
gagged in antiquarian research.
Mr.. George Pain, f. s. A., undertook
the superntendence. and encourage
mcnt attended the task from the out
set. The villa was fully discovered" !"
Rooms were revealed-rooms paved
with rel tiles and flags and plain con-
crete. Tessellated floors were brought
to light. and also hollow plaster walls
with holdings. Elaborate evidences of
ornaplentation and tasteful device were
obtained, and in one corner a series
of baths opened. III the heating cham
ber the drain pipe for running off the
water from the smaller bath is in q
fine condition of preservation. Roman
glass, of quality to appall the ad-
vanced ideas Of IL West End trades
man, was likewise brought to light,
and coins Of the time of Valens and
Tctricus picked up.
Among the other treasures were q
knife, q spear-head, carpenters tools,
nails, bone pins, pieces Of chain, bronze
armlets, earthenware vessels, and a
sandal. From the tessellated rooms
run two walls Of striking substance
and solidity. They are stated to be
four feet thick. twenty-six PAGES long,
and faced with tiles to depth of sew
enteen courses. These wallis stand ten
feet apart, and at one end of them is
a semicircular structure, with a drain
for letting in the water and an outlet.
1t is conjectured that these may have
had communication with the River
Darentl, which runs close by. Other
walls, branching of in different direc-
tions. are supposed to have formed

Their Taste Inclines to "a Life ON
the Ocean Wave."
Some of the spider family have o
liking for living in or near the water
Most of the spider family with which
you are familiar live III the corners OF
rooms or in dark closets. but this water
spider has quite n curious home, and II
you look sharp you may find one Of
them some day on the banks of q
stream.
This curious little spider builds q
pretty house of silk about the size and
shape Of Il thimble This house IL
fastened among the water plapts grow
Ing under the WATER and naturalists
tell us that when her house is finished
the spider carries air in her body, bub
BILE by bubble, until she fills her tiny
house under the water full of air. In
this house she lives, carrying her food
down there to cat, and making hel
nursery in one corner Of the house
And her children live until they
grow big enough to build little thimblt
castles for themselves
Another curious little fellow is called
the raft spider. This creature con
str,lcts an odd little raft of leaves ant
sticks. held together by the silker
threads which all spiders use. On this
raft the spider sails about, not stopping
IN any one place. but steering his little
boat wherever the fancy takes him
His food consists of small insects which
he finds in the water around him. He Il
said to be able to run upon the water
as well as sail upon it. so altogether he
is quite an accomplished creature. His
little raft is his home, his castle, his
yacht and his nursery, and he doubtless
finds "A life on an ocean wave quite

The small, slight man with the wart
on his nose was speaking.
Its all one to me what they say Or

Some beg and beseech, praying to

method is of as much use to htem

smile and went on.

CHAPTER III.
The New Arrival.


Harriet Charters was Miss Blount's
only woman friend and adviser; and
naturally she was as unlike Miss
Blount both in disposition and appear
ance as it was possible for her to be.
She was fair, of middle stature, lived
about three miles from BlOunt Manor,
and was possessed Of considerable at
fractions, handsome house, hus-
band, two charming sons. and as many
admirers rs any woman need care to
count she was fast" she talked little
slang, she was adored by her husband
and by at least half dozen of her
male acQuaintances, and she fiirted q
good deal, besides all which, as might
have been expected she hunted.
Charlie Charteris, her husband, was g
confirmed book-wornl-a naturalist
and. spent most of his time in little
"den' Of his own, Uttered pretty near
ly from floor to ceiling with dried ferns
wingless insects, obnoxious reptiles
and torn tattered parchments. Here
he spent the greater part of his day,
and here his wife-whose favorite re-
sort it was. and who had admission
at all hours-seated on the top Of some
of his choicest papers, seemed to shed
beauty and warmth around the silent
preoccupied man, TO whom she was as
bright sunbeam, and who possessed
whole and entire, the deep affection of
her warm pure heart.
Such was Katherine Blount's chosen
friend; and to Castle Park it was that
she wended her way, riding slowly and
meditatiyely through the green lanes
and under the branching trees, which

OF American Cattle.
Washington, Feb. q. - Mr.. Eustis,
our ambassador to France, will be in
structed to enter a prompt and Wig
orous protest against the French 'e-
crees just made excluding American
cattle from France. Secretary Morton
was careful about expressing his op;n-
ion touching the French decree but it
could be seen that he regarded it as a
mere political manifestation, and felt
that it would lot be continued in force
for any considerable length of time,
and that the next change in the
French cabinet would probably be fol-
lowed by the revocation Of the decree.
Notwithstanding this, the belief is
growing and deepening here that these
DEGREES are but fcrerunners Of other
and more severe restrictions upon
American trade. the next blow per.

are manifestations Of the growth of

Minneapolis. Feb. 81 - Horace L..
Wells. paying teller Of the City bank,
and Louise Ireland were the witnesses
In the opening of the Hayward case.
Wells testified to having paid Harry
Hayward between $1,000 and $1,000
after Sept. i. 1891. thus accounting
for the defendants possession of
money that did not come from Miss
Cling.
Mrs. l.. Il. Hayward, the mother Of
the defendant, was then sworn. The
first part of her testimony was in

Mrs. Hayward said that Harry came
into her room at 7:20. and said he was
going to make call. At about T:4O
lie came in again, hurriedly brushed
his hair and went out, saying that he
was going to the opera. The twenty
minutes between these two times Is
the vital period, for 1t was at that
time, according to Blixt's testimony.
that Harry put him in the buggy with
Miss Cling. with instructions to
Drive Away and XIII Her.
Mrs. Hayward was next asked about
the existence of insanity in her family,
but the state at once objected as the
question Of insanity had not been
raised. The objection was sustained
by the court.
Mr. Erwin asked a long series Of
questions bearing on Adry's actions,
his jealousy. his unreasoning fears
during youth, the medical treatment
he had been given, etc. but they were
all ruled out.
Mrs. Hayward could not answer q
direct question as to the differences
between Adry and Harry aftirlnatively
or negatively.
w. w. Hayward, the father Of the
two boys, was the next witness. He
spoke in clear. full tone Of voice, and

for u half hour, perhaps. Adry was
there for short time. They were not
there alone that morning. This is the
time that Adry states that Harry and

portion Of her testimony where she
said Adry was violent on Oct z, and
called his mother names which re-
fected upon her character. In telling
of the occurrence he broke down and
sobbed, and the proceedings were de-
layed some time waiting for him to
compose himself. Half the women in
the audience cried from sympathy.
On cross-examination the states at

casions except the ones specified-the

He then testified that lie had kept
