RAIN STOPPED THE GAME
st. Cuthbert's Grave Opened.

The tomb of a saint has just been
opened at Durham Cathedral, and live
~ interest in the exhumation is being
displayed in northern archaeological
circles.
1t is that of st. Cuthbert, and the
object is to reconstruct the original
coffin of the saint, which dates back
to sos, by recovering certain fragments
which are known to be contained in
the grave.
The original coffin of oak was taken
out in 1927 and substituted by an
other. but it was afterward found that
considerable parts We're still wanting.
The bones have been found to be il
an excellent state of preservation, and
in the grave there were also found 9TH
er remains. among these being the
frontal bone of a large skull, cut open
by battleax or sharp sword.
This skull is supposed to be that of
King Oswald, whose head, after he had
been killed in battle, was brought to
scarborough and ultimately deposited
in the shrine of st. Cuthbert, the latter
being always represented as carrying
in his hands the head of st. Oswald

"A true actress is born, not made,
writes Viola Allen in the Ladies' Home
Journal THE chief qualities which
she must possess are born with her;
she must have health, strength, good
physique, brains; aptitude, imagination.
memory and judgment; these, aside
from a generous share of instructive
talent and a goodly quantity of that
indescribable and indefinable something
which we call magnetism. I have not
placed personal beauty in the category
OF essentials because it is not an es-
sential but an indisputed aid. In an
educational way an actress can scarce
ly have too thorough, too broad or too
complete a training. She must have a
good mental basis to begin WITH and
with it a desire to learn and constantly
learn as she progresses The very least
she can do with is the best of common
school educaltions, and with this
knowledge of languag es-F'rench at
least. She must have an aptness for
music, as she is liable at any time to
be called upon in some part to play or
sing. Fencing and dancing add to her
grace. but these may be acquired and
used as demanded And not least of
all, the voice of the girl who aspires to
become an actress must not only be
carefully trained but its use must be
understood. There are so many natural
qualifications which are indispensable
to the actress that the profession of
the stage becomes to a woman one of
the most difficult which she can under
take. A young woman planning for
herself career as an actress cannot
examine her natural qualifications too
closely for upon these. and not so much
the cultivated qualities must she de-
pend for true success after ALL"

THE GOLD HOARDERS OF PEARL
RIVER

ZIP in the Pearl river district" said a
Mississippi lumberman the other day,
there are great many old settlers
who have received surprisingly large
incomes for the last decade, yet who
live In the most primitive fashion mag
Unable. Their steers sheep and lumber
bring in a steady stream of money,
while their expenses are really next to
nothing. The homestead is generally a
log cabin; the furniture consists of a
few beds, long table, and as many
chairs as there are people in the family,
and nearly everything they eati is
grown on the premises.
Naturally, one asks what they do
with their cash. And, although / be-
lieve / am pretty familiar with their
habits, | must admit that that point is
a mystery. 1t is significant fact, how
ever that they are very fond of gold.
If you buy a bunch of steers from one
of the old fellows l have in mind he is
very apt to ask you when you will be
in New Orleans next. Get me the gold
while you are down there he will say,
and pay me when you come back. I
am in no hurry about the money
That well-known fondness for the hard
metal has given rise for the belief that
the old settlers keep their hoardings

But this mother has chosen a fairly
secluded spot. For the most part she
will be found sitting closely, if she be
approached with caution, or else will
move just foot or so from her nest
and remain watching jealously lest her
eggs take any harm. And close beside
her in the same covert Is Mother Pheas-

prevalence of the custom was undoubt-

true light as a serious breach of the
laws.
Some extraordinary stories are told
with regard to it. 1t Is related, for ex-

devotion to the flowers that every effort
was made to force some favorite plant

Phister says in the thirty three years
that he has been in this department no
first lady has shown so great love of
flowers as Mrs. Hayes.
Mrs. Harrison loved the roses best,
and was lavish in sending them to her
less fortunate friends Mrs Cleveland
was fondest of the stately American
Beauties that are always associated
with her, and took the keenest interest
in the orchids that reached their first
prominence in American plant life dur
ing that Administration.
The superintendent showed many fine
varieties Of orchids imported from the
present scene of warfare in South At
RIGA. These two late wars have inter-
fered very materially with the importa-
ton of orchids, palms and other tropic-
al plants. There are none of the curl
Gus growths that are half insect half
plant, that feed upon bugs and worms.
Such are frequently sent to the White
House, but are transferred to Mr.. Smith
Botanic Garden, where one finds most
varied and interesting collection.
The head gardener of the White
House says that many of the huge
palms that in summer adorn the drive
way leading to the Presidents house
date back from the time of Presidents
Fillmore and Pierce Many others of
gigantic size were but small affairs
when he took them in hand more than
thirty years ago, during Andy john
sons time. They have all had part
in inaugural decorations since that time
and have outgrown their surroundings.
There is now no place at the White
House where these lofty old palms can
find room, and as they must be kept
housed they are appropriately enough
