Alfred, and an early copy Of his will
in AngloSaXon. one Of the most in
teresting volumes is a manuscript copy
of the well-kuown Life Of Alfred by
Asser-the monk Of St. Dayid's, who
first came TO Alfred's court about SST
opened at the page describing the
Kings occupations and character.
OF the personal objects by far the
most popular Is the fac-simile of the
famous Alfred Jewel. the authenticity
of which has just been vOuched for by
Professor Earle in the elaborate book
on the subject published by the oxford
University Press. The professors
opinion is that the jewel must have
been made 10y Alfred's order after his
own design, and that it was probably
a production OF his youth, before he
assumed a share in public affairs by
the side Of his brother, Ethclrcd.
The collection of Anglo-SaXon rings
in the exhibition Is remarkable. The
massive gold ring Of Ethelwulf. King
of WesseX, and father of Alfred the
Great-discovered at Laverstock and
presented to the museum by the Earl
of Radnor-and of Alfred's sister, Eth
elwith. Queen of Mercia-fourd in
Yorkshire and presented by the late
Sir 4. w. Franks-brings us very near
to the actual personality. of the King
and are i'm themselves wonderful
pieces of workmanship for the period
to which they belong. So skilfully
made are they indeed, that IL has been
suggested that they are more probably
the work of Roman smiths than Eng
lish.
But there are other evidences Of the
skill Of these ninth-century craftsmen.
\ curious silver spoon and fork will be
found among the domestic examples,
and the collection OF coins is very fine.
Another relic worth noticing is a lead
en- trlal-piece, with cast on the re-
verse side for n silver penny of King
Alfred, from n die by the moneyer
Ealdulf. This was found buried in
st. paurs Churchyard in 1871. The
design was apparently rejected and
Cancelled, but II very similar die OF the
same moneyer was on another occa-
sion authorized by the King, rs speci-
mems OF the mintage are extant. Round
the edge OF circular silver brooch OF
Saxon workmanship-with an open
work centre evidently representing a
bird of prey-is the inscription, "Aelf.
givv me an" (Aelfgifu owns mel,

gold ring OF Acthred. also exhibited.

At South Bluchill. Me. on the Han

world, It's capacity being estimated at
800, 600 Holsters. The lobster fisheries
OF Maine have long been one OF the
most important industries Of the State,
the catch being valued ar millions Of
dollars annually. The fishermen long
ago realized that by holding the lob
stcrs until the "off' season of the year
they could get higher prices than If
the whole catch were marketed as fast
as taken.
For this purpose they constructed
pounds or enclosures in which 10 con-
fine the fish. There was much risk in
this, however. for storms frequently
wrecked the small pounds built by
individual fishermen with limited
means. and thus many man lost his
entire seasons catch. Gradually the
business Of pounding Holsters passed

LAST WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Corn Crop is Practically Safe From Frost
in All Districts.

Washington, d. C.-The last weekly
crop bulletin for the season. issued by
the Department of Agriculture, gives
the following general summary:
The temperature conditions Of the
week were highly favorable through
out the central valleys, lake region.
Middle Atlantic States and New Eng
land and 10 damaging frosts occurred
in these districts. Heavy rains in the
Upper Missouri Valley and Minnesota
interfered with farm work and caused
some damage TO hay and stacked
grain in South Dakota and Nebraska.
Excessive rains also interfered with
farm work in portions Of the South
Atlantic and East Gulf States.
The corn crop is now practically
safe from frost in all districts.
The weather conditions in the cotton
belt have been very favorable for
