A FIND OF ANCIENT JEWELRY
IN WALES.

A remarkable discovery of valuables
relating to the Roman period has been
made in the vicinity of Rhayader Rad
norshire. The discovery was made by
young lad named Marston while loos-
ening rocks on a hill The valuables
consisted of gold ring set with onyx,
a gold armlet in four pieces and a gold
necklet in ten pieces. Aninquiry, sum
moned at the instance of the High
Sheriff of Radnorshre (Stephen w.
Williams), was conducted by the Rad
norshire Coroner yesterday afternoon.
James Marston gave evidence to the
effect that he found the yaluables be-
tween two rocks near Rhayader, while
looking for foxes. He reported the dis
covery to Stephen Williams. The latter
gentleman said that he sent the articles
to Mr. Read, of the British Museum,
who pronounced them to be clearly
Roman and of great value. The find
was a unique one for Wales. The ring
was of massive gold, with an ant en-
graved upon it. The work upon the
armlet and necklet were distinctly Gel
TIC and was of high and beautiful char
acter At least it would be one thous-
and years old and probably more. In
the necklet the setting was of exquisite
workmanship, the filigfee being of gran
ulated gold. This was a far more val
liable discovery than the Mostyn rings,
the Mold bracelet or any previous dis
coveries in Wales. The Sheriff ordered
the inquiry according to'law relating to
treasure trove. The property would be
sent to experts for valuation, and Mars
ton would receive the full antiquarian
value which would be very great, less
20 per cent Great interest was cen
tered in the proceedings. The articles
are roughly estimated at the value of
G 300 to $500 -Birminham Post.

EARLY ENGI

| EARLY ENGLISH HANDWRITING.
! At a meeting of the photographed
| Society, in Hanover Square, the other
evening Sir f. M Thompson read a
paper on English Handwriting. At
| the outset the lecturer stated that he
! proposed to deal with handwriting from
| the eighth to the fourteenth centuries,
| combining himself chiefly to the finer
types which We're in existence. Some
| specimens of the Irish hand in the
| seventh century We're thrown upon the
! screen. and the lecturer traced in them
| resemblances with the Roman hand
| then prevalent on the Continent, upon
| which it was probably founded. The
| famous school at Lindisfarn turned out
some grand manuscripts examples of
which were in the British Museum and
at Durham. The northern style of
handwriting spread to Canterbury,
where the early manuscripts We're clear
ly initiative The cursive or pointed
hand soon spread in England, and fine
example of it was seen in Bedee "Ec-
clesiastical History now at Cambridge.
Passing to the tenth century, they
found the cursive hand Of the Anglo
Saxon took a more rounded form. The
ornamentation of that period was prob
ably initiated from the Continent, and
interesting examples of initial letters
and borders were thrown on the screen,
together with a very curious drawing
of 'St Michael and the Dragon" in the
Cotton Library. These crude draw
ings really founded the Anglo-SaXon
school of ornamentation. In the Bod
loio r mGnl1Snrintc which
were of mixed character. showing the
struggle between the Roman and Anglo
Saxon styles. With the Conquest the
Anglo-Saxon characteristic practically
disappeared, and manuscripts became
mixtures of French English and the
Low Countries. A page of "Domesday
Book" showed quite different cali
graphic character from the manuscripts
which preceded it, The ornamentation
of the thirteenth century was richer and |
fuller, though not so broad and stray
CLING as that of the twelfth century.
The same characteristic was apparent |
in the handwriting Of the period, which |
became smaller and heater. It is Curl |
Gus to note that although the Anglo !
Saxon writing ceased to exist at the |
time of the Norman Conquest, certain |
native letters remained, as was seen in
in the Bodleian. The four |
teenth century showed a decadence in !
the literary hand, which gradually |
merged into the rounder hand of the
charters of the period. There was an
affinity, they would note, between the
style of writing of the fourteenth CEN
fury and the printing Of Caxton,
which, Of course, could be easily read
at the time.
In the discussion that followed stress
was laid on the fact that Ireland was our
teacher in handwriting, and hope was
expressed that in a subsequent lecture |

avoid everything acid, take plenty Of
warm baths, and sleep and rest as
much as possible.
But if it be only the neck and shoul-

is not required or desirable on the rest

be pursued. Cod liver oil can be easily
taken in a little cold water, with a
