A "CONDiTIONING" HOUSE.
An Institution Which Looks Out For
Square Deal In Weights and Measures.

An Institution Which Looks Out For a
Square Deal In Weights and Measures.
The state department has received
from the American consul at Bradford,
England, an account of the "condition-
ing" house owned and operated by the
municipality, which is the only one in
England. A conditioning house is an
establishment in which the true weight,
length and condition of articles of trade
and commerce are scientifically deter
mined. These are matters regarding
which there has always existed differ
ence Of opinion between British export
ers and American importers.
Only recently one of the largest export
ing houses in Bradford was compelled to
allow an American customer per cent
discount because Of the shrinkage in a
large invoice of goods, though it was al
legged by the exporter that it entirely OBJ
liberated the profit of the transaction.
All this may be prevented by the import
or of either raw material partially manu-
featured or wholly finished goods de-
manding that the product be accompa-
MED by a certificate from legally au-
thenticated conditioning house.
The Bradford house being worked un-
der parliamentary act, all certificates
granted are legal evidence in a court Of
law and are accepted as absolutely cor
rect as to weight, condition and designa-
ton of goods on the date they passed
through the Observation-Disclosures Post.

Sacrilexious Thieves.

The recent sacrilegious thefts in Paris,
including that at Notre Dame, have been
traced to the sect known as Luciferians,
or worshipers of the devil. Their head
quarters are near Freiburg, Switzerland,
but large branch live in Paris. They
have liturgy which is parody of the
mass. The consecrated elements are Ell
Their stolen from churches or received in
communion by female adherents. Aserv-
ice Of proclamation then takes place,
which is known as black mass. Mgr.
Faya, bishop of Grenoble, has issued a
circular to the clergy ordering special
vigilance, as the Luciferians abstract
the hosts from village churches in lonely
districts without stealing the ciboriums
and monstrances in which the sacrament
is contained. At the ministry of public
worship the subject has been discussed
and instructions have been given to the
project of police to increase his surveil-
lance Of the churches of Paris.-Paris
