into Bruges.

A curious survival of medievaliSm
is, now to be witnessed at Bruges,
in the celebration of the 750th an
niVersary of the entry within in the
city precincts Of the relic known as
the tSaint- Sang,D or Holy Blood,
said to have been preserved by
Nicodemus and st. Joseph of Ari-
mathea. In 1149 it was given by
BALDWIN Ill, king of Jerusalem, to
his brother-in-law, the Count of
Alsace, who brought it from the
Holy Land and placed it at Bruges
in 1850. From that time it has
renamed in possession of the town.
The Holy Blood is preserved in a
crystal rsliquary shaped like a cylin
der, both ends of which are Ornamen
.. sva with crowns, made in 1888. Tne
chest in sohich It Is kept is d fine
example of gOldsmith's work Of the
year 1917, being ornamented with
precious stones of great value. 1t is
iD this receptacle that the relic is
borne through the streets of ths city
during the first TWO Sundays OF May.
The procession consists of seven
groups representing The different

by its cross'bearsrs and acolyles, end

British Politicians
And The War.
Attempt to make party
capital.

According to recent news from
England Politicians are much Of q
breed the world over. The English
Conservatives are no more above
making party capital out of the war
than are the Republicans in this
country. A .'Oaptain in the field"
has just been chosen in the Isle Of
Wight by "an increased major
ity" to Fill vacancy in Parliament,
and in Manchester, where another
bye election is being contested the
must ridiculous appeals are made to
support "sur brave soldiers at the
front" by voting for the Conservat-
i've candidate. One speaker went
SO far as to say that Roberts was
waiting eargsly to hear the returns
from the contested election, and that
the neus, "Peel in for South Man
chester" " would be received with the
greatest enthusiasm in the camp.
Mr.. Augustine Birrell poured ridiculs
upon this nonsense, and said with as
much force as wit that the arrival at
RObertSs camp of one live mule in
good health would be more warmIyy
welcomed than the report Of any pos
sible Conservative victory at the
polls.

NEW WAY TO PRESERVE CIDER.
Subn.trate of I;ismuth and Citric Acid
VIII Keep 1t Sweet and Clear.


It's years large apple crop has
mac cider abundant and cheap, and by
reason y :eYoce. Sc d.scovere,. in re-
cent yo-., oder made earl, IN tie fall
wneI. apples are cheapest remains pal
atable all winter. With this improve
ment in the method of preserving cider
has cone change of theory as to the
Whoi she lcc5 o. the beverage. Tween
ty years ago cider was denounced as
d. Terous drink; now it is recon-
menIed especially to persons suffering
from some stomach disorders, and to
those OF a rheumatic or equity ten
dency. The French have made a med
zeal study of cider, doubtless partly be-
cause it takes the place of wine in
parts OF France, and the result OF such
study has led the French experts to
the conclusion that the presence of
malic acid and Of tannin in cider makes
il Of great hygienic value. Some dys-
peptics cannot drink it. but in some
forms of intestinal trouble it is help
ful. 1t is recommended especially to
equity persons. To he wholesome,
ton, and especially it must not BE too
hard. The old method OF putting up
cider in strong and securely corked
bottle, along with three or four raisins
and tablespoonful of sugar to a pint
IS still practiced in this country, and
the result is delightful beverage with
al the effervescence Of champagne; but
this method of preserving cider is ex-
pensive and troublesome. The French
have discovered Il cheaper method, and
that is to place in cider that is to be
preserved from hardening a small
quantity of the subntrate OF bismuth.
1t is found that a partly consumed bar
rel Of rapidly hardening cider may thus
be preserved for many months. The
hardening process is not altogether ar
rested, but in goes On very slowly. The
French have also discovered q method
of preserving the bright transparency
of cider. Most cider when exposed 10
the light becomes clouded and brown.
This change is due to the chemical &C
tion of tannin and sometimes of iron
contained in the cider. Save in appear
ance the beverage is none the worse
for the change. and indeed a cider that
quickly turns brown is regarded as
especially wholesome for some persons
because of its being rich in tannin. To
preserve the clear beauty of color. how
ever. the French use citric acid in
quantities varying with the natural
acidity of the cider. usually about so
grains to the gallon. With citric acid
and subnitrate Of bismuth cider may
thus be kept indefinitely not only fine
in color but almost at a uniform con-
dition of fermentation.

study together. who is it that add
Greek to their Latin? Ii is usually the
finer students. those vino will want the
best Latin. And so Greek suits them
not only because Of its attractive eX-
cellence, but because the longer they
study il the more they come to realize
how much il does to illuminate their
Latin. The two are one study, after
all. and the one is Greek. The influence
of the swift recent advance in Latin is
therefore sure to quicken the slower
pace of Greek In respect to the other
studies no special comment is needed.
Their gains are most gratifying
though not SO surprising as the gain iii
Latin and even in Greek. They have
not been compelled TO hold their
ground against repeated attempts to
diSplace them, nor to mako their swift
advance in the face of depreciatory at
tack. Their gains are the gains of
long peace, followed by sudden pros
perity. But the gains in Latin and
Greek are cOnquests. They have been
achieved fiagrante bello. and have an
