Ancient saxon Monuments.

In the churchyard at Bewcastle,
Cumberland, England, an isolated spot
about twelve miles from any railway
station, is a monument built 1880 years
ago, bearing the inscription: "The first
year of Ecgfrith, King of this realm"
i. e., A. D., go. Another inscription
(Runic) on the west side says that it
was set up as a STANDARD of Victory
in Memory of Alchfrith lately King"
(of Northumbria), who played so Inn
portant a part in the history of the
time. An interesting account Of the
cross is given in Bishop Brownies
work, 1.-THE Conversion of the Hept-
archy." He says that the inscriptions
"are the earliest examples known to be
in existence of English literature" and,
looking to the Importance in the his
tory Of the world Of the conversion of
England, there is no historical monu.
ment in these lands to compare with
the Bewcastle Cross" The shaft as
it stands, is a square pillar composed
Of single block Of gray freestone
fourteen and one-half feet high. The
cross head is gone, but when entire
the monument must have been about
twenty-one feet high.

- UNDAX morning, while Mrs.
wilkins was at church with
y Tommy, Mr. Wilkins. in deh-
ance of the social ethics Of
Lake Hill, put on his oyeralls, and,
rake in hand, attacked the carpet of
dead leaves that covered his lawn.
He knew that his wife would make a
scene If she caught him, and he knew
that his Sabbath-breaking would fur
nish another argument against subur-
ban life, and he anticipated consldera-
bic guying from his male neighbors,
and yet, in spite Of all these misgiv-
ings he raked the leaves into rustling
piles and watched with logged salts
faction the columns of blue smoke that
rose among the oaks from his unholy
fires.
wilkins had employed seven different
"hired men" since spring. None had
stayed more than a month, and none
had carried away either the esteem or
good viii of Mrs. Wilkins. Most of
them were worthless, some dishonest,
some lazy and some lacked that regard
for the prOprieties which the woman Of
the house insisted upon. SO it came to
pass that Wilkins had a hard time get
ting, to say nothing Of keeping, a SER
viceable hired man, and when the
leaves began to fall his lawns, gardens,
vines and orchard were in sad case, his
chicken-hOuse needed repairs, his coal
cellar was empty, his winter kindling
was unchopped, and his loyalty to SUI
burban life was tottering. Therefore
he had defed all precedent and on
Sunday morning attacked the work
with his own hands.

his wife hadn't guessed the probable
truth he resolved to offer the man a
job, and as the latter passed out the
walk toward the road. he stopped him
with:

and do whatever you see necessary,
explained wilkins, fully understand

"An right, sir. My name is James

Wilkins showed the tall, gaunt fellow
over the place and pointed out the
room over the carriage house where
he was to sleep. Tommy, who was

While he was bending over a russell
mound Of leaves he heard voice:
mister, I'll clean up that lawn for
a meal"
It was a low, strong voice, musical
of tone and so opportune that wilkins
let his rake fall and looked about.
The stranger was a tall, lean young
man, dusty from a long walk, but trim
and clean as to clothes and person.
'I'H just go you" said wilkins, open
ing the gate. The big fellow walked
in, dropped his coat on the ground, and
fell to work without a word. After
getting back into his Sunday garments

During the day he kept busy at the
back of the two-acre lot, at night he
sat in the barn doorway, telling stories
to Tommy and smoking his pipe.
Between him and the boy there
sprang up an extraordinary companion
ship. The man, silent with all others,
began to tell his little comrade the
rarest and most extraordinary stories
of shipwreck, of battle, of wild beasts,
birds and adventures of all kinds.
He knew the habits of birds and in
sects, of reptiles and fishes, and these
he explained to Tommy with infinite

Moman,s Bolero Waist.


The bolero waist is marked favor
lite of fashion, and is shown in many
of the advance styles. The smart May
Manton model shown in the large
drawing is admirable in many ways,
and is adapted to a variety of mate
rails. The bolero, having no collar,
makes it peculiarly desirable for wear
beneath a wrap, while at the same
time it gives sufficient of the jacket
suggestion to be suited to street cos
tunes designed for spring. AS shown
it makes part of a costume Of satin
faced cloth in sage green, with the full
waist of Liberty satin in a lighter
shade of the same color, the trimming
being folds of the satin, cross-stitched
on with black cortlcelli silk, and at the
ends by jeweled buttons.
The fitted lining closes at the centre
front. On it are arranged the waist
and the bolero, so that both are made
in one. The full front and back Of the
waist are tucked to yoke depth then
left free to take soft folds, the closing
being effected at the left front where
an opening is cut from the shoulder to
waist line The Jacket is fitted by
means Of shoulder and under-arm
seams only, and is cut away at the
neck to reveal the chemisette. The
sleeves are novel, while in bishor

MAY COLOR THE SUNSETS.
Eject of Dust From Volcanoes Like
Iy to he Seen In the Summer.
From the Baltimore Sun.


From the Baltimore Sun.
Director oliver L. Fassig of the Bal
timore Weather Bureau was asked last
night whether or not the volcanic erup-
lions in the West Indies and in Central
and South America could have any
effect upon the air currents or the
weather in this latitude. He replied:
mot in the slightest. The air cur
rents would be disturbed only within
a radius of few hundred miles. The
lowering weather in this section during
the last day or two has been nothing
but the usual spring weather, and there
have been no atmospheric disturb
ances out of the ordinary.
zone effect that may follow the vol
canic eruptions now going on)is sea-
son of brilliant sunsets during the
coming summer. How long 1t will be
before these sets begin to occur it is
impossible to say. The air currents
move around the earth spirally and
the wind does not blow steadily from
Martinique in this direction. Hence 1t
! may be weeks or months before the
sunsets are seen In Baltimore. For a
| year after the great Krakatoa disas-
| ter the sunsets were to be seen.
These magnificent displays are due
to the great increase in the number
of dust particles In the air, with con-
sequent greater diffraction of the suns
rays as the sun nears the horizon.
The sunset colors ordinarily observed
are generally those at the lower end
of the spectrum, the reds and yellows
predominating. The same is true in
the case of sunsets affected by volcanic
dust, but in these the colors are more
distinct. 1t is hard to explain the ex-
act difference, but there should be no
trouble in recognizing the sunsets
which may be expected to follow the
eruptions in Martinique and st. Vim
cent.
Il have received no information be-
yond what has appeared in the news
papers about the eruption reported to
be taking place in Nebraska. l am sur
prised at the report, for the mountain
chain in which the Nebraska eruption
is reported, so far as / remember, has
no connection with that in which the
West Indian volcanoes are situated.

was composed were thrown so high

such a theory is in accordance with

CUBAN STUDENTS AT ROLLINS.
Celebrated Their Nations Birth and
Entertained Friends and Faculty,

"
Orlando, Fla, May 2S.-Rollins Col
lege at Winter Park has a strong
Cuban contingent among its pupils.
They number a dozen or more. All are
bright and intelligent, and all are alb
sorbing American ideas and customs
with the regular college education.
Among them are young men who, will
yet be heard from in the public af-
fairs of their island republic.
1t was but natural that such young
men desired to celebrate the birth of
the Cuban republic, and the Inaugural
ton of the new conditions. That they
might fttingly do this the college fac
ulty granted them half holiday, which
they improved in a manner creditable
alike to their patriotism and general
intelligence. The Cuban flag was run
up and saluted by them; Cuban ma
tional airs were sung, and general re-
joicing was INDUCED in.
After regular study hours a reception
was given to the faculty and students
beginning with games on the ball field.
The srandstand was decorated with
Cuban flags and hung with Chinese
lanterns, which were lighted as night
came on, supplemented with fireworks
Later on ice cream was served to their
guests.
Mr.. Julio Soto Navarro, a
native of Havana, delivered a patriotic
address.
1t is talked of providing a building
specially for the accommodation of
Cuban students. Should such a move
be made, it would prove an attraction
which would probably result in great
ly increased numbers of pupils COM
ing from the island to be educated at
Rollins.

SPLENDID POLITICAL MEETING
HELD AT COURT HOUSE.

A Representative Augusta Audience
Heard Col. EstilI Set Forth His Po-
sitiOn in the Campaign and Conn
ment ON the Issues of the Dny.
Coils. FindIcy of Gainesville and
Cochran of WRycross Claimed Re-
spectiveIy North Georgia and
south Georgia for Their Candidate
and Called on Middle Georgia to
Join Them.
Augusta, May 23.-One of the best
political meetings ever held in Angus
ia was the Estill meeting in the Court
House tonight, which was addressed
by Col. Estill and Messrs. A. E. Coch-
ran of Waycross, and w. f. Findley
of Gainesville.
The audience filled the court room
and gallery, and was a representative
Augusta audience. What proportion Of
it was for Estill, and how many OF
those present came out of curiosity.
though expecting to vote for one of the
other candidates, of course nobody can
say, but it was an exceedingly compile
mentary hearing that was accorded Col.
Estill, and If the meeting is to be taken
as an indication of his popularity and
strength in Richmond, he has every
reason to be gratified.
Mr.. w. A. Garrett, one of the lead
ing men OF the community, self-made
successful man like Col. Estill, was
made chairman of the meeting.
Mr.. John r. Burke. editor of the Au-
gusta Herald, introduced Col. Estill in
very complimentary terms that were
warmly applauded.
Mr.. Estill explained that he was no
public speaker, but simply plain bust
ness man. who promised the people. il
elected Governor, to give them a busi-
ness-lke administration. He an
nounced his platform and COM
mented on the issues of the day
in frank conversational way that was
listened to with interest and was
warmly applauded.
Mr. Cochran of Waycross and Mr..
Flndley of Gainesville, representing
South and North Georgia, claimed
their respective sections for Estill,
and called on Middle Georgia to join
them. They predicted that the three
candidates would pretty evenly divide
the convention, and Estill would have
his full quota at the start and be the
second choice to which both the other
sides would go. Though the speaking
continued until nearly IL o'clock, the
audience for the most part remained
and gave interested attention. The Es-
till men are greatly pleased at the
meeting.
