all the adult members OF the commune
assemble in the parish church. and
everyone takes a solemn vow before

spirits from the morrow OF the fol-
lowing day for the whole year. The
clause "for the morrow" Is introduced
in order to give them a reward for
their virtues in the shape OF whole
day OF drunken carnival. As soon as
they leave the church they begin to
indulge in a horrible Bacchanalian
drinking, which continues throughout
the day, until neither man nor woman
in the village is sober. This is natur-
ally followed by considerable physical
suffering, and then by mental remorse.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends 60 personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efiectually cleansing the system,

1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

MORE BAD PLATES,

About n Dozen for the Massachusetts,
Iowa and Oregon Rejected.
Owing to the rejection of about a dozen
plates intended for the armor of the battle
ships Massachusetts, Iowa AMI Oregon the
completion of the armor plating of those
vessels will be delayed for some months
When these plates were submitted to the
naval inspector he found that they were
badly burned in places on the surface In
some cases there were dcpressions in the
face Of a 15-inch plate four feet long and
two feet broad, where the face had been
burned out to a depth of seven-eighths of
an inch. Not only was the plate weakened
by the loss Of metal at such points. but the
metal below was decaroonzed and reduced
to the condition of wrought iron, so that 1t
could not be hardened by the Harvey pro-
cess. Just what caused these flaws is not
known at the department.. but 1t Is sup
posed they arose from the adoption of some
experimental treatment intended to cheap
en- the cost Of production or else resulted
from forcing the temperature too high
while the plates were being Harveyizad, in
the effort to expedite the process The
plates in question have been Professionally
rejected, which means that parts of them
may still be used by cutting off the defect
I've portions. If larger plates can be rolled
to supply the gap thus left in the armor
belts.

ANACOSTIA.

A resident Of Maryland living not very far
from Anacostia has presented to the Wo-
mans College OF Baltimore an interesting
relic-an unusually large and well-preserved
Indian hominy pot. The relic was turned
out of the ground by pillow about two
years ago on the estate of Mr.. j. R. Hard
Ing. It is made Of soapstone, and by out
side measurement is eighteen inches in
length, sixteen inches in breadth and ten
inches in height, and by inside measure
ment the bowl is eight inches deep, fifteen
and a half inches in length by fourteen and
half inches in breadth. The base Is per-
fectly fiat and is fifteen by ten and one
half inches. Its weight Is eighty-one and
one-half pounds. The marks Of the stone
chisel are perfectly distinct, both on, the
outside and inside. indicating that the YES
sci has been well protected, and was prob
ably buried when left by its owners. Both
handles are preserved. One is considerably
larger and lower down upon the side than
the other. The average thickness Of the
upper edge Of the vessel is one inch. AT
several points 1t Is less than three-quarters
Of an inch thick. 1t Is well shaped, and is
regarded as one of the best samples Of In
dian workmanship yet found in Maryland.

Petroleum Bicycles.

G. W. Chancellor, United States consul
at Havre, has made report to the Secre-
tary of State on the subjecr of horseless
carriages, in which he tells of the recent
competition in France between carriages Of
various kinds of motors other than horses.
Mr.. Chanc.ilor also mention: n petro-
leum cycle which entered this race and held
its own with the larger vehicles and ex-
presses the opinion that the time will soon
arrive when gasoline will come into general
use for propelling bicycles, tricycles and
even four wheelers, which will, he thinks,
relieve lady cyclists from the necessity of
wearing short skirts. like those of the wild
Albanian, killed to the knee" Altogether
he concludes that petroleum is destined to
become the popular agent Of traffic and
conveyance without horses In the streets
of great cities and on smooth country
roads.
