There is only one monument in the
whole British colony of the Bermudas
and it is erected to the memory of
an American. This fact may seem a
bit strange until one has heard the
story, which is really story of the
Bermuda lily, and of the man who
made it possible.
Many years ago-during President
Hayes administration, in fact-Gen.
Russell Hastings, who had made for
himself brilliant record during the
civil war, was married in the White
House at Washington. He and his
bride went to Bermuda on their we'd
ding trip, and were so charmed with
the beauty of the place that they re-
solved then and there to return, and,
If possible, to make it their perma-
nent abode. The climate, too, appeal
ed to them. (The general had been
seriously wounded in the war, and
was far from well.)
A little later the two came again
Not as tourists this time, but as home
seekers. In those days the now-exist-
ing law that none but English citizens
can own land in English colonies was
not in force. So General Hastings had
no difficulty in acquiring large es
tate. He chose picturesque site in the
little city of Hamilton, surrounding a
land-locked bay. Here he built his
home, "Sonci," which stands to-day
among tropical trees and luxuriant
flowers.
Not only did General Hastings at
once become deeply interested in the
place, and in the possibilities for its
development, but he was genuinely
distressed at the poverty of the island
ers, says a writer in the Detroit Free
Press. Setting about to improve mat
ters, he studied the climatic condi-
tons, experimental again and again,
and at length his efforts were crowned
with success. 1t was found that our
present-day Easter lily, originally a
native of Japan, would attain in Der.
muda to perfection of loneliness
hitherto unknown. The islanders were
soon pressed into service, and since
about 1876 the culture of lilies has
been not only their chief pride, but
their chief means Of livelihood as we'll.

out in the Atlantic--the largest of

HOME OF THE EASTER LILY
Flower Was Introduced Into the Islands of Bermuda by
an American.

half-set beneath the bluest of blue
skies, and seeming to rest on water
whose transparency and brilliancy Of
color are unequaled anywhere. This is
AS the incoming boat skirts the
shore, the lily fields look from dis
lance like white summer clouds
dropped down from the sky upon the
green islands. Lily fragrance fills the
air and is blown by the wind far ops
over the water. Coming nearer you
see the fields more clearly-rows up
on rows of blossoms, tall, stately and
snowy white. 1t is very beautiful.
1t was not until the early sos that
the Bermuda lily became well known
in the United States 1t is said that
Philadelphia woman, returning from
the islands, brought home a plant to
bloom. This came to the attention Of
w. K. Harris, an enterprising florist
of the Quaker city, who purchased a
lot of the bulbs, from which he sue
ceeded in raising hundreds of plants,
introducing them under the name
Lilium Harrisii. Thus the Easter lily
industry spread to America, and to
other countries as well. But nowhere
do the flowers grow so perfect and
beautiful as under the quickening
warmth of the tropical sun OF Ber-
muda.
Ordinarily only bulbs are exported,
but at the rush season whole boat
loads of cut buds and of thickly.bud-
ded plants are packed and shipped
away, carrying the sweet message
of the Eastertide into countless homes
and churches.
General Hastings is dead. In spite
of his long residence in Bermuda, he
remained devotedly loyal American
citizen and from time to time concern
ed himself with public affairs, holding
various positions of responsibility and
honor. The islanders remember him
as their friend and benefactor, and
that they and those that come after
them may not be unmindful Of the
debt of gratitude they owe, a beauti-
full monument has been recently erect.

First Definition of Lumber"

Lumber" according to the London
Chronicle, acquired a new dignity
when 1t crossed the ocean and shook
off all association with the lumber
room. But the words earlier history
is still more curious, IL the conjecture
10 right that makes lumber room
older than lumber, its contents, and
explains the former as Lombard
room the room in which the Lombard
banker and broker stored his miscel-
lsneous pledges. Undoubtedly, In the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
a lumber house was pawnshop, in
the lumber meant in pawn, and q
man in Jail was metaphorically 'lum-
bel ed, or In Lombard street."
