MELRosE ABBEY.
Founded and Endowed by King
David | of Scotland.

Meirose Abbey was built on the site
of an old seventh century Anglo Sax
on monastery of which hardly any
thing is known except that it was de-
stroyed in S3g. and remained a DESC
late ruin for the best part of three
centuries. The present abbey. togeth-
er with Kelso, Jedburg and several
others. was founded and literally en-
dowed by King David /. of Scotland.
who has gone down to posterity with
a reputation for sanctity apparently
resting solely on these facts.
1t is probable that Melrose was King
David's last effort in this direction, it
certainly was his most successful one
as far as the appearance went. Fol-
lowing the order of the day, he chose
the most beautiful spot in the district
and built thereon a magnificent and
costly edifice to make a suitable home
for a community whose creed demand
ed only of it's followers meekness of
heart and lowliness of condition. The
abbey was then endowed with large
revenues and many immunities.
Many different styles of architec-
ture are beautifully blended in this
romantic ruin of which more than
enough remains today to show how
wonderful the abbey must have been
in the time of It's prosperity. The size
of the windows and the elegance of
the stone tracery surrounding them
which is at once light and strong, the
exquisite carving in the cloisters, the
richness and delicacy of the border
that deeorates the inches in the cham
eel, enable us to form some idea of it's
ancient glory.
Melrose like most of the ancient
religious houses in both kingdoms, has
gone through many vicissitudes, and
has suffered equally at the hands of
friends and foes. 1t has been robbed
and ruined, sacked and burnt, and
parts of it have been hopelessly dis
figured by vile restoration, but it still
remains a fragment of the most beau
tiful structure of the Scottish middle
ages-Christian Science Monitor.

the colonel rs besieged with inquiries
from newspa permen, politicians and
others as to his intention, he had been

fact, however, that the former Presi-

Perennials for Cutting.

While there is an abundance of How
eriug perennials for general purposes
it frequently occurs that for some
thing particular the available plants
are not numerous nor easily thought
of.
In this connection an inquiry reveals
the fact that early summer pink or
white flowers suitable for cutting dc
not make large list.
The following desirable hardy plants
are mentioned for the purpose, and
our readers may doubtless recall a few
additional which may be suggested
for the benefit of others.

A PARACHUTE CAP.
Umbrella Folds Up Into Headgear
and Works Automatically.

The manner Of carrying the parachute
so that it will not become entangled
with the machine, and yet will always
be in position for use, is one of the
greatest problems to be solved in the
adaptation of this means of descent when
an aeroplane fails, An American in
ventors' solution. as shown in the Eng
fish patent journal, is the locating of
the parachute in the airman's cap. The
parachute folds up into pouch forming
the upper part of the cap, and the susy
pension cord, rising from the top of the
cap is attached to a body belt. A tube
of flexible material distended by a ring
is attached to the cord. This directs a
blast of air into the parachute when it
unfolds from the pouch after the cap is
cast off by the airman, thus insuring the
chanics.

Under Control.

The local Board of Health stated.
Friday afternoon, that the outlook in
regard to the control of the smallpox
situation was the most hopeful that it
has been since the discovery of the
first eases. Not single case has been
reported TO the board within the past
ID hours and it seems to be almost a
certainty that the epidemic will be
confined to the original infected dis
trict.
The quarantine will probably be
raised in week upon three of the
cases that were early reported and
which had been in progress for week
or more before being discovered.
