They were left undisturbed | until an exploration could be carried out on behalf of the National Mu- Wales by Mr. Mortimer Wheeler, Professor of Archaelogy at} Cardiff University. ' Meanwhile, the inhabitants of the tomb has been regarded locally as a Weleh King "Tut." | The parallel with Luxor is nof| . without its appositeness, for Prof.!

He could not resist 'a professional | touch, however. As Professor Wheeler took from the tomb handful after handful of] human dust and fragmentary bones] and placed them in a bag, the cor-| oner remarked that an open verdict | of "Found dead" was obvidusly the safe one, The remains had clearly been cre- mated, probably on a funeral pyre of wood.

From this, through a small hole, cunningly hidden in the carving of the coat-of- arms of the Sherburn family (the former lords of the manor) on a large shield of marble over the gate- way, a good view could be obtained of the approach to the house, In this chamber a number of loaded horse- pistols were discovered, many of them ornamented with silver. They had evidently been placed there for use in case of emergency. The fact that they werre still loaded seems to show that the emergency never did arise. And, to confirm this, a full flask of rum was also found. At Irnham Hall, in Lincolnshire, is another secret chamber. This hiding-place is very cunningly de- vised. A solid oak beam, forming one of the steps leading down into the bedroom, was so arranged that it could be lifted up, disclosing a trap- door that led down into the hiding- place below. A fastening on the in- side kept this door securely in place, thus rendering detection impossible. The room, which was about eight feet by five, and five and a half feet high, was ventilated by means of a chimney. Its unusual shape and the fact that it alone, of all the other chimneys, was not blackened by smoke, gave the secret away. On examination, the shaft was dis- covered to get straight down into the secret chamber. A subterranean pas- sage was discovered some years ago, but the foulness of the air made it impossible to explore it very far. It ts believed to run to Corby, a few miles distant, and to come out into an old house there. A similar passage was discovered a few years #go at Arundel, running from the castle in the direction of Amberley, but the entrance to it was blocked up when a man lost his life in trying to follow its windings. At an old housgrat Deal a subter- ranean passage, leading from a se- cret chamber behind a fireplace to the beach, was discovered some time ago. It was the uncanny noise of the wind blowing up the passage that led to the investigations which re- sulted in the discovery of the secret chambes and its outlet.--Montreal Herald and Weekly Star. Had Many Trades. A "Jack of all Trades" is David E. Duckett, of Wimbledon. A London, Eng., newspaper held a "Jack of all trades" contest. Mr. Duckett not only claimed that he could work at 7 different occupations but said he had been ew.ployed at them and he sent in the name of, the employer and the town where he was so en- gaged. Mr. Duckett's tasks have been: Timekeeper's assistant, port- able engine fireman, hotel linen packer, lathe operator, engine clean- er, fiyman at theatre, handyman, ex- hibition stand Aftter, chief petty officer, scenery hand, climber, build- er's laborer, paperhanger, painter, plasterer, pointer, bricklayer, car- penter, bugler, steward, ordinary seaman, able seaman, quartermaster, bandsman, fruiterer and florist, glasier, roof hand, carman (pair horses), rigger, splicer (wire and rope), milk roundsman, barman, gar- dener, pianist, cornet player, erector, property owner. At no time, he says, has he been dismissed for being in- competent.

The axe was of an unusual type to be found im Wales, possibly dertved from Scandinavia, and suggesting, says Professor Wheeler, Scandinavian influence in Wales at an earlier period than is suggested by previous discoveries. Tower of London. Possibly no building in England {is 80 rich in historic memories as the famous Tower of London. It is bathed in blood and tragedy; it is the Zunting place of innumerable ghosts and filled with legendary lore. It has housed the world's greatest patriots and has also been the cus- todian of the world's most notorious. The Tower of London, the ancient citadel and state prison of London, is on the north bank of the Thames, about one mile east of London Bridge. Tradition ascribes its found- ation to Claudius Caesar; but for this statement, there is no evidence, al- though the structure may occupy the site of the old Roman fortification. The White Tower--the first part erected--was commenced in 1078 by William the Conqueror, and com- pleted by his son, Willlam' Rufus, who, in 1098, surrounded it with walls and a moat, and built, in addi- tion, St. Thomas' Tower and Traitor's Gate. The Tower af London has been added to by several of the sovereigns of England, and covered at the pres. ent time an area of 13 acres. It Is used at the present day simply as an armory, and a jewelliguse for the 'erown regalia. Fountain Abbey. Fountain Abbey, picturesque views are In the gr« inds of Studley Royal, have been left to the nation by the late Lord Ripon. The ruins are most beautifully situated and are the most extensive of the kind in the country. The Queen visited them when she was on her recent stay with Princess Mary and Lord Lascelles at Golds borough Hall. The abbey was found- ed in 1132 and the bullding was er- ected between 1204 and 1247, the tower, which is a prominent feature, being built about 1600. The build- ing consists of nave, transepts, choir, and eastern transept, the great clois- ter, a magnificent vaulted chamber, being 300 feet in length. For many years now the abbey ruins have been carefully protected, and at first sight they appear to be perfect except for the loss of the roof. ! Oolor Line Illegal in South Africa. An important decision on the ques- tion of drawing the color line in South Africa has been given by the Supreme Court, which declares that the color bar Is opposed to the gen- eral law of the lana. The case arose on the application of the Attorney-General for a ruling in an action against a mine manager who had been charged with contra- vening the mining regulations by per- mitting a native to take charge of a locomotive. - Justice Kiause, the presiding judge at the trial, asserted that there was no justification for differentiation among classes or colors, and in the absence of an express statutory pro- vision it would be dangerous to hold that the Governor-General had power to make such a regulation. ---------------- " Vinum Thealogicum." ; The best wine formerly made In England was named *"Thealogicum," because, according to Holllinshead, "it was had from clergy and reli- glous men, unto whose house many of the laity would often send for bottles filled with the same, being sure that they would neither drink no? be served of the worst, or such These | HOME-MAKING HELPS "Everything About the House Helps to Make the Home." By WANDA BARTON eee A Tray for Every Need@ Oan Be Had If You Will Search. Tray service meets us at every turn in modern housekeeping. The trays, themselves, are fascinating enough to make a housekeeper long to possess all she can get hold of. Of course, there are wonderful in- laid trays as well as silver, copper and brass trays. But some way, willow trays, though inexpensive, ap- peal strongly to us. In summer they are suggestively cool and in winter, covered with dainty dollies, they are clean, attractive and best of all, they are light to hold. For nursery use, willow trays are washable and that is another advant- age. Home artists are making these trays rarely beautiful and individual bv painting them. One painted black with gold trimmings has a border of Hlacs peeping trom under the lace edge dolly and purpling the lace 'de- licately in color™ Another has a ground .of pumpkin yellow sa wreath of white crocuses that are wonderfully springlike in suggestion and very dainty. At card parties we find the small- er willow travs used in serving re- freshments. This is ouite an idea. for otherwise, when the call comes fust before a hand is finished, one | must leave the game and attemnt | to grasp several dishes, with no place | to set them but in the midst of the cards, which is most disturbing. On the other hand, the little laden trays are readily disposed of until a con- venient season without fuss or in- convenience. One hostess chose a brightly colored all-paper service for her trays. They were not only fresh | and crisp in appearance, but were easily disposed of when the silver was removed from the tray.. To save labor meang usually a saving of ex- pense and this holds true in individ-.| | ual service. In the olden dave, at children's parties and other functions the foods were passed on large, rectangular tin trays, beautifully decorated -and japanned. Some of those trays to- day reappear in the antique shops or woman's exchanges, and they bring prices that would have astonished their original owners, The little bed tray with folding legs is a joy to the lazy late break- faster, as well as to the invalid. It, may be chosén in color to match the | china. For instance, a white bed tray, with delicate wild-rose decora- | COLDS - CHAPPED WANDS - sums | en tions, may be covered with dainty doilies of pink, embroidered bolting cloth, and attractive pink lusterware china needs no prettier background for its loveliness. Again, a delicate green tray with its lace doilies em- broidered in fern pattern makes a perfect setting for a green and white belleck china service. , With a pink rose laid at the side of the tray, the picture is complete. Though round willow trays are one's idea of tray comfort; still the square trays fill their mission very acceptably, and if they are to be car- rled on the tea-wagon, they fit to better advantage for carrying, taking up less room than round trays. | Glass-bottomed trays, where there | are rare lace doilies placed under neath the glass, or embroidered pleces that are too fine for use where they are apt to get soiled or wet, are attractive, but somehow they are too formal in atmosphere for a cozy afternoofi tea or the more intimate breakfast. There is far more charm in a willow tray decorated or plain. The teapot seems to naturally belong on it, whether it be of old Chinese blue ware or just an earthern pot, A man cannot convince you that he is cultured the first time he meets you, but many of them attempt it.
