was probably instituted by Gregory
the Great, who was pope from $50 to

three times with the Gross. During
this ceremony the priest recited these
words: Memento quod cinis es- eft in

thou art dust and must return to dust
The ashes thus couse grated were then
strewn on the heads of the officiating
priests and the assem- bled people. The
ashes Were usually obtained BY burn
ing the palms consecrated on the pre-
ceding PALM Sunday.

4 Miners Inch.

The mode OF measurement Of q
miners inch of water varies in differ
ent localities, but the accepted legal
measure is that quantity of water
which will flow through an opening of
ono square inch in the bottom of YES
Sci under a mean pressure of four
inches. Fifty of the above miners
inches is equivalent to discharge of
one cubic foot of water per second. To
get the number of gallons in miners
inches multiply the given number of
inches by 1881, pointing off five deci-
mails The result will be the number
of gallons discharged per second. To
get the miners inch in gallons, divide
the number of gallons flow, or dis
charge per minute, by s976S. The re-
suit will be the number Of inches

was time before the war when capt.

against chattel slavery interfered
with the African slave trade. No new
vessels were fitted out to steal negroes
from their native soil and bring them

A Money War.

Huger drives men mad and the COM
ing winter is likely, if not sure, to
witness more suffering and distress,
and consequently more disorder and
violence than the country has ever yet
drea n ed OF.
We have had some rather strong
demonstrations Of disregard for pro-
erty rights during the past few
months, which, though feeble and iso
lated, ought to teach us a lesson in
possibilities. But these were only the
gentle zephyrs preceding the coming
cyclone.
If congress does nothing to give the
people work or to feed the hungry
multitude, a standing army Of 200, 900
men can not maintain order or keep
the public peace. The President and
the governor may cry "peace peace"
but there will be no peace.
The spirit of spoiation once in ac-
tivity, and before it can be stated or
checked many thousand lives will be
sacrificed, and many millions Of prop.
ertY forcibly taken from its posses
sors or destroyed.
England was confronted with q
similar condition of the public well
fare from 1919 to 1925. The army was
doubled and the soldiers kept busy
night and day to maintain the public
peace, but they failed, and so will any
armed force under such conditions
All England seemed to be wild and
anarchy inevitable. In this emer-
gency Lord Castlereaugh, under a sus-
pension of the rules, persuaded parlia-
meut to pass law for the expansion
Of the currency by an increase of pa
per money. The effect was magical.
In six weeks the mines and factories
became again active; labor was every
where in demand, and the people were
fully employed at fair wages and were
contented.
1t strue relief came to England in
this instance partly from the migra-
ton of large per cent of her citizens
as well as from the expansion of the
currency. But one thing was dem
onstrated. The remedy of force by
military power litera ly failed
VIII our rulers try the remedy that
failed or the one that succeeded and
brought peace to a distracted land?
We shall see.-Kansas Commoner.
