EXETER CATHEDRAL
^ IS 800 YEARS OLD
Site Wat Once Occupied hj
Saxon Churches.
Washington.—Exeter, ancient capi
tal of England’s southwest, and county
town of Devon, Is celebrating the eight
hundredth anniversary of the conse
cration of her famous cathedral.
“Even older than the cathedral Is
the Bishopric of Devon and Cornwall,
which was transferred to Exeter by
Edward I In 1050." says a bulletin
from the National Geographic society.
“The building of the cathedral was be
gun sixty years later under William
the Conqueror. The site chosen had
already been twice occupied by Saxon
churches, the first built by Athelstan,
the second by Canute.
“All that remains today of the orig
inal Norman structure are two low
massive towers at either end of the
transept. The rest of the cathedral
was completely rebuilt during the
Fourteenth century In the rich style
of Decorated Gothic.
“Walter de Stapeldon, bishop of Ex
eter, and one of the foremost patrons
of English art and letters during the
early Fourteenth century, had a large
share in this transformation. It was
Stapeldon also who In ^.114 founded
Exeter college, Oxford; and In 1332,
Exeter grammar school.
Impressive Edifice.
•■(jpon entering the cathedral one
receives an Impression of great length
and remarkable symmetry of design.
Each part Is balanced; and the long,
low effect Increased by an unbroken
roofline extending through nave and
choir. On the wall of the north tran
sept Is a great clock which has ticked
since the days of Edward II In the
Fourteenth century. It has two dials,
one showing the hours and the moon’s
phases, the other recording the min
utes. In the library Is the ancient
Codex Exonlensus, a Ninth century
collection of Anglo-Saxon poetry,
which has been In the possession of
the cathedral since the Eleventh cen
tury.
“All the history and loyal. Independ
ent spirit of the west country la con
centrated In Exeter, Queen Elizabeth's
‘ever faithful city.’ As a Koman town,
Isca Damnonlorutn, It Is a little young
er than Paris and ns old as Ixindon.
When the Uomnns left It In the Fifth
century it became the Cner I sc of the
Britons and the Exancestre of the
Saxons.
“During succeeding centuries It en-
dureo countless sieges; Saxons, Brit
ons. Danes, and Nonuaus fought to
enter the walls. loiter the loyal towns
men staunchly upheld their king In
many a revolt. Exeter still remem
bers the time that Edward the Con
fessor‘spent Christmas there; and the
day when William of Orange entered
the gates in state.
“Modern Exeter occupies a broad
ridge of land on the left hank of the
River Exe. At the head of this ridge,
hidden by Ivy, and set in a wide shad
ed park, are the ruins of Rougeinont
castle, built by William the Conqueror.
“Narrow, stone-paved streets wind
between ancient timbered houses,
crumbling chapels, and tine old
churehes. Exeter is a veritable elty
of churches. In the time of William
the Conqueror she possessed no less
than twenty-nine! Across the square
from the cathedral stands Mol’s coffee
house, favorite meeting place of those
gay adventurers of Devon—Drake,
Hawkins, Gilbert, and Raleigh.
‘The Guildhall with its overhang
ing facade. Is said to In* the oldest mu
nicipal building in Great Rritain. Here
the wealthy merchants of the city
transacted their business in the time
of Queen Elizabeth, when Exeter was
noted for the manufacture of woolepp.
It was also during •Elizabeth’s reign
that the Exeter shift canal was built—
the first canal in England to permit
sea going vessels to reach an Inland
port.
“Exeter today has a population of
over 50,000, and Is an Important cen
ter of agricultural trade. Its various
Industries include brewing, paper mak
ing, and iron founding. Tourist traffic
during the summer season Is very
heavy, especially since It Is well locat
ed as a base for tours of the west
country. Dally motor busses leave
the huge city terminal for all parts
of Devon and Cornwall."
Rare Mice Discovered
by California Expert
Sequoia National Park, Calif.—A.
rare species of mice, equipped with
pockets in which they carry food, was
discovered here by Prof. Joseph Dixon,
University of California mammalogist.
Professor Dixon found the little ani
mals on Yucca Point at an altitude
considerably above that normally
sought by mice.
He described them as part of one
ol the most Interesting “triangles” in
nature. Seeds of the yucca plant are
scattered by white Yucca moths,
-picked up by the pocket mice and car
ried to their burrows, where, forgotten,
£hey take root and grow.
Woman Digs Up Ancient ^
Spanish Coin in Garden
Grants Pass, Ore,—Mrs. F. L. Ru
bins takes a keen delight In puttering
about in her garden here since she
dog up an old Spanish coin with the
date 1808 on it The piece was as
shiny as a new coin, as It had been
minted during the times when ao alloy
mas used In the making of money, and
It contained e rather excellent Itkeneee
mt King Carloe IV on its surface.
T HIS happened in pre-prohibi
tion days.
“How can you take such an
interest in your breakfast?" asked
a battered old rounder of a rosy
cheeked friend who was ordering
his breakfast in a restaurant
with great care.
“It’s the best meal of the day
for me.” replied the latter. “How
can you take any Interest In your
breakfast at all?”
“I can’t!” groaned the latter,
and turned away.
In case you would like to know
what the man who enjoyed his
breakfast ordered, here Is his
menu. It will laste even better,
If served in your own home.
In your own home use canned
figs, and leave them In the las box
over night. After this breakfast
you’ll start off to business whist
ling, or whatever It is that you do
when you feel just right.
Figa with Cream
Cereal
Deviled Cream Toast
Strawberry Preserves
Coffee
And here’s how to make tV.e.
Deviled Cream Toast: Make a
cream sauce of three tablespcT*
butter, three tablespoons flour ap !
two cups milk (or diluted evlp-
orated milk.) Add the contents
of a 2%-ounce can of deviled hat:
and stir smooth. Season to tasto
with salt and pepper and serve
on toast. Serves six.*
O NE way to make vegetables
more delicious and to vary
their taste is to mix several
kinds together. One way to make
these dishes more economical and,
at the same time, to have a wider
variety of vegetables available is
to mix canned vegetables with the
fresh. Here are some of the com
binations we would suggest:
Creamed Mired Vegetables:
Peel one large or two small cu
cumbers. and slice thin. Slice one
cup of radishes thin without peel
ing. Boil separately until tender,
drain and combine with the hot
drained contents of a No. 1 can of
peas. Add one cup of white sauce,
and season to taste. Serves six
or eight.
Southern Peas and Onions:
Glean one bunch young onions and
cut off tops. Then split them
The Fraternal Tomato
T HE tomato is a gregariour
chap. He’ll go along with
almost any other food in bro
therly fashion and he doesn’t care
whether the food la a meat or a
vegetable as long as it and he are
well cooked. He is quite content
and toqthsome, for instance, In
_such a combination as:
Kidney Beans with Fresh To
matoes: Put alternate layers of
kidney beans from a lOVfe-ounce
can and four sliced ripe tomatoes
' i Q a battered baking dish, season
ing each layer of tomatoea with
■alt and pepper. Cover top with
battered cram be, and lay three
long slices bacoa. cut la halvea. on
top. Baka in medium oven till to
matoes are done, and the crumbs
brown and bacon crisp. Serves six.
Chummy with Meat
Swiss Steak with Tomatoes:
Have one and three-quarters
pounds yound steak cut about
three-fourths inch thick. Dredge
both sides with flour and pound
with the edge of a heavy plate
until the fibres are well broken.
Brown both sides in plenty of
drippings In a large skillet. Add
one large thinly sliced onion, one
bay leaf, one No. 2 can tomatoes,
aalt and pepper to taste; cover
and simmer until very tender,
about one and one-half hours.
Serves six.*
Mix Your Vegetables
lengthwise, and add with one slice
bacon to half the contents of a
No. 2 can peas. Add three-fourths
cup boiling water, and boll until
onions arc tender. Add more wa
ter if necessary. Remove bacon,
season to taste with salt and pep
per, and serve. The liquid should
he cooked almost away. Serves
four.
In Salads, Too
Pea and Potato Salad: Drain
one 8-ouuce can peas, add one and
one-half cups diced boiled pota-
toos, one tablespoon chopped \
onion and one Jablespocn chopped
pimiento, and marinate in four
tablespoons French dressing. Add
two tablespoons chopped walnuts
and one-third cup mayonnaise,
and season to taste with salt, pep
per and celery salt. Serve on let
tuce leaves. Serves four.*
jviucn uncertainly wer
Correct Plural of “Bus”
Tbs Listener” discussing in the
Boston Transcript the plural of “bus,”
■ays: The approved plural of “omni
bus, of which word “bus” is a contrac
tion, Is “omnibuses,” and by some It is
assumed that the same rule applies to
“has,” but It should be evident. In the
Listener's opinion, that another rule
should apply in the case of the con
traction. The doubling of letters for
plurals or for the Indication of other
parts of speech Is Influenced by pro
nunciation as well as by etymology
and In the case of the word “omni
bus’’ the accent being on the first syl
lable, there Is no occasion for doubling
the final “s” In the plural to prevent
a mispronunciation. But in the con
traction “bus” there Is distinctly occa
sion for the doubling, for “buses,” with
the single “s’ would naturally be pro
nounced to rhyme with “abuses,” or
“sluices.” As*Qt is to be pronounced
“busses,” it shouTtJsjje so spelled. The
fact that “buss” Inf\e singular may
mean a kiss, as well ak^-a vehicle for
the transportation of passengers, need
not influence the case at all since in
the English language there are many
words which have different meanings.
Siddons, Famed British
Actress, Born in Wales
Sarah Siddons, famed as the great
est of British tragic actresses, was
born In W’ales. Her father was Roger
Kemble, manager of a theatrical com
pany, and from her childhood Sarah
worked on the stage.
She was married to William Sid
dons, a member of the company, when
she was seventeen, and soon after
wards she was recommended to Gar
rick, resulting In her playing Portia
In the “Merchant of Venice,” at Drury
Lane, her salary being £5 a week. She
did not win unqualified success, and
was not engaged for the next season.
For the next six years she worked in
the provinces.
Invited to return to Drury Lane be
cause of the reputation she had now
achieved, she played Isabella in “The
Fatal Marriage,” and won an immedi
ate and permanent success in I/*n-
don, her histrionic ability being con
sidered perfect.
She left the stage in 1S12, i.nd lived
In retirement for twenty years. A
statue of her, by Chantry, Is In West
minster abbey.
Hxwk Moth Unique
The hawk moth is one !iis<*et nature
was at pains to provide with an ade
quate means of feeding itself. These
moths, which feed on flowers, have a
long tul>e for extracting the honey
which often attains a length t« ice that
of the long, spindie-sh»|ted body of the
moth Itself. This tnhe. during flight,
is curled up spring fashion and tucked
away under the lo’ad of the moth,
where It di»es not Interfere with the
flight. In its feeding habit, the hawk
moth, or sphinx, hovers over plants
much after the fashion of the hum
ming bird. The tomato worm and the
tobacco worm are both larvae of the
hawk moth.
