royalty. No man ever more keenly en-
toyed the magnificence of palaces and
thrones But he was too big a man to be
deceived by the royal shows to which he
was, by the necessities of the case, Obliged
to devote so much of his time.
1t was his duty. as one of the high-born
gentlemen of the realm and the special
favorite of the queen, to have much TO do
with the glittering lnanities of the court.
And right well did the gallant knight
play his part; but in the midst of the
brilliant stage-play, the great man was
thinking OF other and better thing, and
among them of planting Englishmen be-
yond the seas where they might establish
an English nation in the new world.
Greater than the courtier was the long
headed, far-seeing statesman who, midst
the revelries and splendors OF the court,
was forever dreaming of making the New
World a NeN England. greater Eng.
and. which should embody English ideas
and principles and perpetuate them TO the
latest ages.
The genius for colonization which has
ever been a marked characteristic of the
English race found In Raleigh its devout.
est and most persistent champion. II
was the master thought of all this think
ing. the one supreme all-eontrolling
passion OF his soul.
In the story of this mans attempt to
make good his imperial dream of COLOMBIA
tlon, there is a wonderful blending of
glory and pathos
Four times did he strive to materialize
his splendid vision. and. as all the world
knows. four times was he doomed 70
deepest disappointment.
In 1857. in company with Sir Humphrey
Gilbert he sailed on the voyage which ac-
oomplished nothing save to give to the
world the immortal epigram shouted over
the waves by Sir Gilbert Just as he was
going down beneath the stormy waters
THE way to heaven is as near by sea
as by land"
In 1884. Raleigh, undaunted by the fail
ure OF the first attempt sent out the sec
ond expedition under Amidas and Bar
low. which on the Fourth of July of
that year, reached the country now known
as North Carolina There the meteor
flag OF England was first displayed In
the United States and there, upon a
sandy bank OF the Carolina coast. rested
the first Angio-Saxon anchor.
Returning. the expedition reported that
they had found "goOdIy land" we'll
suited for settlement. and the following
year a third expedition. with over iOt
men, sailed for the North Carolina re-
gion. settling at Roanoke Island. but sc-
complaining nothing permanent
Stili determined, Raleigh. in 1851. made
his fourth and last attempt to start his

Like the others it was failure. save az

history its mute story OF the "Losl
Colony"

The filtration step is danced back to
back with the hands held as in picture
one. OF course. the position is the only
real new part of this step, for there is
really no change in the step at all
The dancers go around the room in the
straight waltz for as long a time as de-
sired looking at each other and slightly
swaying the body as they move. This
Irritation step is very popular We have
mo end of people ask us about it after
every performance, and remark en- its
grace and beauty. It's position being a
little out Of the ordinary is the only thing
that makes 1t so very popular. and the
dancers must remember that the effect
will not be at all good in the Irritation if
the dancers are not of a uniform height
very tall man and a very small girl
would make the dance Iuderous, for in
stead of looking levelly into each other $
eyes the girl would have to tip her head
and look upward, and the effect would be
funny rather than otherwise.
just before ending the Irritation step
slip back into the first position of holding
the hands. the right hand of the man
and the left hand of the girl, high above
the heads OF both and then to the even
waltz tempo come forward one step, then
another step and three short steps, count
ing one, two, three. to a measure Of waltz
time and then curtsy very low.
The curtsy is a very beautiful part of
the dance. and IL practised can be mas
tered very easily The dancers take two
steps back. and then slide the feet under
them as though about to seat themselves
on the floor Turk fashion. The picture
should pc carefully studied for this as it
SHOWS TO exactly what extent the limbs
should be bent. Don't bend SO far back
that the balance cannot be held easily. for
a wabbiy how is worse than none al all
Rest the position on the backward limb
and slide the other slightly forward, then
drop the eyes and hold the hands low
for two or three movements of tho waltz.
Then suddenly rise to the feet without
any visible effort in changing position.

DANGEROUS COTTON PEST
REFUSED ADMlTTANcE
Government Keeps Out Cotton Seed
Infested by Pink Bell Worm.

Washington, March 27.-The FEEDER
al Horticultural Board has Intercepted
a shipment Of cotton seed from Egypt
which was found to be heavily infest-
ed by the so-called pin boil worm. This
is a result OF the quarantine against
cotton seed which was promulgated
by the board some time ago. The
seed, which was intc3ded for plantin ?
in Arizona. arrived in Boston. where
the customs officials. under instruc-
tions from the board, obtained posses
sion of it.
The pink boil worm is the most Sc
rious cotton pest in Egypt. In that
country il does as much damage as
the boil weeyil in this country. The
possibility OF reducing the damage II
causes has been considered by govern
mental commissions and conferences
for several years. Like the boil weeyil
it works, for the greater part Of its
existence, within the bolls Frequent
" it makes its way inside the seeds.
where it can live for an indefinite
time. In fact, in experiments per-
formed in the Ministry OF Agriculture
in Egypt, it was found that the worms
have lived for as long as seven month";
in seed in storage.
