But the bonnie rdment in some places

ged stones so that you have to pick
Your way among them as you pass
Many of them are four or five feet
broad OF course, these are only the
larger stones; the little ones We're
buried under the soil long ago.
Stones seem to have fallen all through
the eruption, sometimes in one place,
sometimes in another. Not long after
the first expulsion of smoke, a negro
boy was tending goats on q hillside;
have seen the place often. Suddenly a
small stone fell near him, and then an
other. He thought that some OF his
playmates We're pelting him from the
bushes, and so began to throw stones
in return. But the contest was too ur-
equal, for it was the mountain that was
throwing stones at him; and ere long
he fled in terror leaving the goats to
their fate
have no space to tell you the whole
story of this great eruption: how many
plantations were ruined by the stones,
and, far worse, how fifty or perhaps a
hundred people were killed by them,
with great numbers of cattle and
| horses; how the lava damned back a
stream and formed a boiling lake,
which broke through after month and
came kissing down the valley, over
whelming a whole negro settlement;
how ashes were carried five or six hun

cloud, so that people had to grope their
way at noon and use candles in their
houses; how the explosions were heard
hundreds of miles away, and it was
| thought that they were the guns Of a
| great fleet or army.
But one thing must tell you. When
| the eruption was over and people could
ascend the mountain again, they found
the crater--the one DR.. Bell had visited
all changed Instead of the smoking
| cone, there was a lake of water nine
| hundred feet below, filling the whole
area, and so deep that no one has ever
| been able to fathom it. And beside
this, separated from it only by thin
wall, they found new crater, even
| larger; it was nearly a mile long, three
quarters of mile wide, and eight hun
bred feet deep. with sides like walls.
That pit was blown out by the great
explosion.
/ have stood between the two craters
and looked down into them. The new one

and ferns, and no signs of fire; but the
| old one is a hideous depth of gray green
water thrnuph which bubbles are al
ways ascending and bursting into sui

wind carries these fumes over the
neighboring plantations, for miles
around, as if to warn people that the
old fires are not yet extinct. ! hope It

yellow The whole effect is light and
spring-like, and yet the felt saves from
the look of having donned spring hat
too soon.
The fiat of the French milliner to the
effect that no material shall appear on
the hat that is the same as the material
of the dress has never been accepted in
this country, and hats are now seen
atop the most stylish dressers that defy
this rule more than ever for adorable
little capotes come now as part of an
outfit with dress and opera cloak, or
for the street, with dress and jacket.
Economy will suggest that a hat while
matching one gown may be planned to
harmonic with several, but our idea of
the swagger thing in this country
seems to be to have the hat confess a
chip of the one dress it accompanies.
A hat with a woven chenille brim and
q soft tam crown of velvet is set with a
rich hand and n handsome buckle, and
is finished at one side with a bunch of
plumes. Such hat can be worn, be-
cause of the briTn, quite late in the
spring. Many of the early spring hats
have brims of woven straw mixed in
with chenille, and soft crowns of velvet
or of felt Such a hat trimmed with
flowers suits any season.
