DELAWARE SAVED THE DAY

Norfolk. Va, April 4.-(Special) 1.-The plans of the historical department of the Jamestown exposition are gradually as suming definite and final shape. It had all along been determined that the evolution of the United States should be portrayed in some comprehensible and vivid man. ner, from the very beginning at James, town down to the present time. But just how to accomplish this much desired re- suit seemed to be a most elusive propo- sition While the present plans are sus- ceptible of modification and changes. as authorities may vary or expedients may suggest 1t is certain that systematic exhibition of all the salient facts con- nected with the various eDoeh-making events in our history will be set before exposition visitors in most impressive way And as an instance of how this may best be accomplished, Jamestown It. self has been taken as an illustration.
 The entire life of Jamestown as | real civic entity was hardly more than that of some oldest inhabitants. Less than ninety years sufficed for the foundation of Jamestown it's rise to power, and it's ending. Twice it was burned, and after the first fire 1t was found difficult to in- duce the settlers to rebuild after the sec ond fire it was impossible. No grants of land or exemption from taxation, no promise of free seed for planting, could suffice to overcome the blandishments of the then fast-growing town of Will liamsburg.

A remarkable instance of how persons become accustomed to their surroundings and how any unusual break interferes with their comfort was recently related by Mrs Anna White. wardrobe woman for the Barnum x Bailey circus for the last forty-five years.
 After the performance is over on the road I go right to my stateroom in the sleeper and never dream of mnding the noise of loading up the cars-in fact, never hear it-but let there be some un- usual sound. such, for instance, as some one whispering under my window and It wakes me up instantly.
 s.There are usually three tracks, the sleepers on the first. while the other two are given over to properties, animals, etc. Naturally there is great disturbance tbe men are yelling and shouting. and the racket of moving is enough to awake the dead. but I simply go to sleep and never hear if. But should there be the slightest suggestion of noise that is unusual to the regular routine. even though 1t were a mouse scratching, and l am wide awake.

THE MODERN WOMAN
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 Chi1drens luncheon boxes have become so transformed that il would require mind reader to know the real object for which they are made. For, somehow, there has grown up a feeling among children that there is something dis graceful about carrying a paper parcel or an ordinary lunch box. This has even extended to the grown-ups, and steno- graphers, typewriters and clerks who are seen hurrying over the bridge and ferries mornings carrying small grips are not all going off on a journey They are only bringing their luncheon to business with them. One of the most popular of lunch receptacles for boys is a box resemb- ling camera, while for girls it is tho music roll. Others are in the shapes of books, shawl strapped parcels and small dictionaries. Even the old fashioned tin dinner pail of the day laborer has dis appeared and instead the goodwife slows the lunch away in paper parcel to be stuffed into a coat pocket away from sight.

'I can always tell whether woman Is accustomed to reading newspapers by the way she holds one" remarked business man in the subway recently. "She takes it up in haphazard fashion. glances ir- relevantly here and there In an absent minded sort of way, so that you feel quite she isn't sensing thing she reads Then she opens the paper awkwardly and invariably separates the portions of the sheet thing that makes man crazy in his own home, for he loses track of the departments and 1t Is contrary to his ideas of order.'

Artificial and ribbon flowers will now have to take a back seat in favor of new style that has made its appearance in the New York shops The new ones are made from Japanese palm fibre, and are so natural in appearance that it is quite impossible to tell them from the real article. This is particularly the case with carnations and American Beauty roses, for a further resemblance to nature Is added by their being perfumed like their natural prototypes. So far as the expense soes they cost but little more than the natural flowers.

impressive Scenes Enacted.

Impressive scenes were enacted at
 Jamestown, and reproductions of these
 will serve to illustrate and fix the his
 tory of the first colony, so that the men-
 ory will be ineradicable.
 The pioneers left their boats on the 18th
 day of May, 1907, which, by the way was
 also Frday-a combination which Is usu-
 ally regarded extremely unlucky. Yet
 the one hundred and three men who re-
 mained after Newport sailed with his lit
 tie squadron were destined to found tho
 United States. These men suffered from
 hunger and fever. from cold in winter and
 excessive heat in summer. Starvation was
 a freuuent visitor, and despair knocked
 often at their doors. Grim want stalked
 throughout the land before the first sup
 ply was brought by Newport, and again
 before the second came. In 16l0, three
 years after they had laid with so much ceremony a cornerstone in the New World they finally gave up the attempt and prepared to return home. Some of them had regarded Jamestown as 'home, but now England was home" to all. Arriving at Hampton Roads. just at the mouth of the James river and within sight of where the Jamestown Exposi- ton will be held they espied boats put ting forth to meet them and in the dis tance could be seen ships with sails set. The ships belonged to Lord Delaware, the Royal Governor of Virginia, and the boats were those which he had sent to ferret out Jamestown. Probably the most impressive act in all history was the return of those desperate and starv- ing Jamestown prisoners to their pail sades, where, drawn up in line. they pre- scented arms at Lord Delaware's arrival; who. learning their sad story, fell on his knees and thanked the Almighty that he had been sent to save Virginia Even after his coming, however, there were froA In ha
 Cessation of Strife.
 The marriage of John Rolfe and Poca- hontas caused a cessation of strife for many years, and prosperity dawned upon Virginia, which in 1919 became a sef-gov- ernng commonwealth.
 Three years later there was another h. dian outbreak. and the historian of the London company asserts that of the four teen thousand men and women who had landed in Virginia there were hardly nine hundred remaining after this last Indian outbreak In other words, thir- teen thousand and more people had died from famine. fever and massacre in fif- | teen years, leaving pitiful remnant of | the army which had been sent over. 1 Times of plenty and times of scarcity occurred afterwards at Jamestown. Good governors there were. and bad: and of | this last class, Berkeley was the chief. So bad, indeed. was he. that a rebellion | broke out in the colony during his sway: i and it was during this war that James i town was burned for the first time. Less 1 than two decades later ir was again burn ed. and it's career as the capital of the 1 colony--or, in fact as a village ceased. l But there is enough history in these ninety years to fill volumns. if written. | or if displayed in an attractive form to | interest every visitor to the tercenten-
 nial celebration.

Slowly but surely the old time idea or boarding school discipline is passing away and more liberal notions prevail regard ing the liberty of pupils. Only the last week there was called q conference or
 principals of all the smartest boarding schools in and about New York for the very purpose of considering the advisa- bilitv of allowing the girls more leeway' of putting them on their honor more instead of standing over them with club metaphorcally speaking, to see that they oLeyed the rules The real instigator or the new movement was principal who believes that considerable latitude should be allowed her girls especially those Tn their senior year. The latter can come to town shopping or are allowed to go to the theatre, providing they go with relatives, and no further ehaperonage Is considered necessary. Men can call at the school on Friday and Saturday evenings, and 1T the3. happen to come during the week can see their friends, although the mid-weck visits are not encouraged. Dancing Is allowed on the two receiving evenings ragtime playing and the singing of col lege songs enjoyed. Thus far none of the girls have abused their privileges and the new plan has been voted a success.

caIarnifies That Didn,t Occur,

When the first use was made of the
natural gas wells people OF a certain
class were much disturbed All sorts
of evils were predicted, and warning
letters were received by the companies
in charge. One man seat caution
against boring much into the earth.
The world was a hollow sphere, he
said, filled with a gaseous substance
and floating like a balloon in space. If
the gas were allowed to escape disaster
would follow. Another, claiming to be
a scientific man, assured the owners Of
a we'll that any fire coming in contact
with the escaping gas would be COM
municated to the gas beneath and
cause terrific explosions. Men are too
inquisitive," he said. ''They peer too
far. Let them beware" The gas com
panies have kept on boring, and the
world has so far held itself together.

The River Jordan.

Concerning that unique stream, the
river Jordan, DR.. Libbey, in 1.-THE Jor-
dan Valley and PETRA writes: per
haps the strangest thing about this ia
nous river is what none of the an
clients ever guessed-that it's course
was mostly below the level of the sea.
They journeyed up and down the val
ley since before the days of Abraham;
they climbed down the roads from Je-
rusalem to Jericho and up into Moab
and Edom; they built roads east and
west of the Jordan; they built roads
and bridges and cities far below the
level of the Mediterranean and yet new
er seem to have suspected that this
stream differed from most of the rivers
of the globe in this respect. Greeks,
Romans and Mohammedans, Jews,
Christians and crusaders knew every
nook and Granny of its winding course,
but failed to realize that while it's
head and source rested high on noble
Hermons side it's mouth in the Dead
sea was far below the surface Of the
habitable world and all the surround
ing oceans"

inches in height and weighed over 1000
pounds There is no record of the date
Of the death of Cornelius, which oc-
Cured in Pike county, Pa, but the ac-
count says that he was born in 1894.
When in his prime he measured eight
feet two inches around the waist, was
six feet tall and weighed 6451A pounds.
Daniel Lambert was an English freak
of the early part Of the century and

odd Epitaphs.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald contributes a few odd cpl
taphs from cemeteries in various parts
of this country. The following is
found on tombstone in a cemetery at
Trenton N. j. Although the fact is
not stated in the inscription, it would
appear that the subject was a scale
maker Or had something to do With
weighing machines:
His ways were ways of pleasantness
In all LIES fitful dream;
He struck a balance with the world,
And then he kicked the beam.
In the cemetery at Copp's Hill, Mass,
is found the following epitaph

The Great Bed of Ware.

In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
Sir Toby Belch urges Sir Andrew Ague-
cheek to pen a challenge and to put in
it ''as many lies as will lie in the sheet
Of paper, although the sheet were big
enough for the bed Of Ware" This
enormous bed, which was a wonder in
Shakespeare's time and still exists in
Ware, is seven feet six inches high and
ten feet nine inches square, so that
twelve people can lie comfortably in it.
Beautifully carved, it is a splendid
specimen Of antique furniture, dating
from the days of Queen Elizabeth.
This wonderful bed is naturally an OBJ
ject of curiosity and interest to many
visitors In the same room there hung
a pair of horns, upon which all stran-
gers formerly were sworn.
