AN ANCIENT CHURCH RELIC.
Skull Cap Worn by st. UbaIdus in the
Twelfth Century Brought to
This Country.

Rev. James Dean. o. S. A., of Villa
nova college, has come into one of
the most precious relics of his order
in America. 1t is cap worn by st.
Ubaldus, who in the twelfth CEN
fury was Bishop of Cubic, SAYS a
Villanova CPa.) report in Hearst's
Chicago American.
In 1886 the body of the saint was
removed from the tomb and the
skull cap, 500 years old, was res
cued from oblivion. A sealed docu-
ment accompanies the relic to at
test its genuineness.
About this silken cap cluster some
most interesting incidents of church
history and the record of a most
useful and consecrated life.
st. Ubaldus was born at Cubic.
Italy, early in the twelfth century,
the son of a nobleman. Early in life
the youth determined to give him
self to the church, and, despite fierce
parental opposition, entered the sem
mary of IS. Martin and James.
Later he took up studies at the SEM
mary of st. Secundus.
Finishing his course he was ap-
pointed prior of the cathedral by the
bishop of Cubic. While in this posi-
ton he corrected several abuses
which had crept in among the con-
ons. Ubaldus next visited a COM
munity of regular canons, estab-
hshed by the pious Peter de Hon
estis. He carefully noted the rigid
discipline of this community, and
upon his return to Cubic three
months later he esta blished it's rule
in that chapter, thus rendering the
reformation complete.
In 1126 st. Ubaldus was made
bishop of Perugia. Having no de-
sire to fill so exalted a position, he
hurried to the outlying country and
afterward made his way to Rome.
While there he importuned Pope
Honorius III. to free him from his
trust. His request was granted. A
few years after, the see of Cubic
being vacant, the pope ordered the
clergy to reflect Ubaldus to that
dignity. In the year 1929 Pope Hou-
orius consecrated him with his own
hands, very great honor and show
ing the high esteem is which Ubald-
us was held.
Ubaldus received the skull cap
while bishop of Cubic. A rich mer-
chant, hearing of the holy mans
great success in curing diseases,
made application to him and was al
most Immediately cured of malady
of many years duration. In return
for so great a kindness the mer-
chant offered the bishop large sum
of money, together with many acres
of the finest land. This generous of
fer was fatty refused by Ubaldus.

and at the other it slightly exceeds the

Rotation for wheat Growers.

AS to the best rotation of crops for
a wheat grower, would suggest the
old rotation of corn, oats, wheat and
clover or corn, soy beans or cowpeas,
wheat and clover with timothy. The
latter rotation / think is the better
one where the farmers can use the
crops, as it is virtually getting two
clover crops in the rotation or every
second crop a leguminous one. It
must be borne in mind that no system
in which the most of the products of
the soil are removed from the farm
can continuously preserve the fertil-
ity of the land. Unless the crops are
partially returned to the land by
pasturing or hauling on manure the
clover and beans or peas only form
means of more perfectly draining the
land of its elements of fertility.-H.

1t has often been claimed that the
presence of nickel in dust is sufficient
criterion to distinguish it as of cosmic
rather than terrestrial origin. 1t has
lately been shown that nickel is found
in SCOT, and hence that nickeliferous
dust may be terrestrial. Gallium, also,
is found in all aluminous minerals, in
many fiue dusts, in many iron ores, in
SCOT and in atmospheric dust.
The wave of motion of the sea is util-
lied to run an electric-lighted buoy at

this case and in the generating electric

SEED CORN ESSENTIALS.
The Years Success Depends on Hav.
ing Good Seed on Hand at
Planting Time.

There are many essential points to be
vigorously observed in either selecting
or buying seed corn. In selecting from
ones own fields the earliest maturing
and most perfect ears only should be
saved, and when a variety commences
to lose its dominant characteristics it
is time to get fresh seed. In sending
away for seed, buy that grown in near
ly the same latitude as your own, or if
any change is made go little north in
preference to south. Understand your
fields. Don't Plant large cared white
sorts in fields better adapted to medi-
um size yellow sorts. The first move
ment toward making corn crop is this
matter of correct selection of seed.
The quality of the seed is the next i'm
portant thing. Do not be satisfied with
stock" (crib' seed corn. Be willing to
pay good fair price, and then demand
high-bred seed. Order it from reputa-
bic growers or dealers and always or
der part of il at least in ear. Then you
are planting with your eyes open
you know what to expect. Prof. Shamel
says on this question: "By highly-bred
seed is meant seed that is the very
highest representative of the i'm
proved type, In other words, those ears
which as nearly as possible represent
the ideal ear. As every ear is different
from every other ear, there can never
be a large number of such ears. How
ever, this very fact of wide variation
makes the Improvement of varities pos
sibie. If there was no variation from
which selection could be made there
could be no improvement. 1t is by Sc
Letting those ears which vary in the
direction desired and discarding the
poor ears that a. general advance can be
made" Having made a wise selection
and secured seed that will test for ger
mination 95 to 90 per cent. one need
have but little anxiety over the outcome
of his corn crop. Does it pay to plant
well-bred seed? Might as well ask:
Does it pay to buy a good, pure bred
bull. Seed of established varities have
prominent and valuable Characters
tics. These characteristics. such as
well-shaped ear, butts and tips well COW
cred, rows compact and kernel set deep
in the cob, give solidity and weight TO
the crop. Take such a variety s Reds
Yellow Dent-especially when the deep
er dent strain is secured. 1t viii grow
uniform y good-sized ears, deep grain
and the cob is well covered. It's full!
value is not apparent to the naked eve;
but the scales always tell in its favor
This seed corn question is the mos i'm
portant one before American farmers
this year. The success of your farm
ing and feeding operations depend
upon good corn crop. See to it that
good. reliable seed is on hand at plant
ing time.-Prairie Farmer.

PRINCE GETS SMALL PAY.
Member of n Russian Royal Family
Works az Telegraph Messenger
for $1.75 Week.

An example of the vicissitudes of
royalty was offered recently by the
trial in Moscow of Prince Zeretelli,
who was accused of being connected
with band of swindlers. Before the
Russian conquest of the Caucasus the
Zeretellis were a royal family, reign
ing over principality which their an
cestors had ruled for hundreds of
years. They lost power and wealth
when the Russians came, and finally
the last of the ancient line, the man
who was tried at Moscow, found him
self, at the age of %, absolutely with
out means, says London exchange.
Leaving the land over which his an
cestors had reigned, he went to Odessa
and tried to get employment. The
only job he could find open to him was
that of bootblack and bellboy in a
hotel This he would not take, and
he went on to Moscow. There, after
suffering hunger. and cold and living
as homeless outcast in the streets,
he finally managed to get place as
telegraph messenger at a salary of
$1.75 a week.
1t was then that a band of sharpers
got hold of him and used him for their
own schemes. At the trial the DESC
late prince was acquitted, but he
made pathetic appeal to his judges.
saying that he had suffered so much
from hunger and restitution that it
would be a charity to send him to pris-
on, for there he would be sure of at
least getting food. clothes and shelter.
Some one. moved by his piteous case,
gave the prince, after his acquittal. a
position as clerk, with salary of 1913
a week, which he gratefully accepted
At last accounts he still held his clerk
ship and was in hope of having his sal
airy raised to four dollars a week soon.
1t is fortunate for those fierce old war
riors and naughty monarchs, his royal
ancestors. that they had not the gift
of divination and could not see the
condition into which the last of their
line would fall.

MAKES THE HAIR FLUFFY.
Scalp Massage Proves Successful and
Popular with the Society Women of
NaxU

Scalp Massage Proves Successful and
Popular with the Society Women of
New York.
The new method of making the
hair fluffy, and, what is yet more i'm
portant, overwhelmingly, by
massage-is gaining converts daily at
New York. The straightest and stiff
est locks may, by this method, be-
come graceful.
All that is needed is willing and
active finger tips, which, once a day
at least, and, if possible, oftener, will
lightly knead the scalp at the tenn
pies and forehead until the hair is
in that state of fluff admired by Sll
but possessed naturally, alas, by few.
There is really no art nor mystery
about the process. Moreover, any
one can do it for herself.
The result is just the same as that
once supposed to be attainable only
from shampooing, but it is much
more satisfactory. For days after a
shampooing the hair is unmanage-
able; massage makes it but the more
manageable. Shampooing, too, must
not be INDUCED in often. \ daily
massage of the scalp edges, where
the hair is liable to become thin, is
beneficial in the highest degree to
the health of the hair and of the
skin.
When you see a woman nowadays
whose otherwise straight hair fuffs
not artificially but becomingly about
her face in way to. recall the
French saying that 1.-The ugliest wo-
man may be made beautiful if she
but know how to comb her hair" you
may know that such woman is in
dulging in daily scalp massage.

Take bar of iron one one-quarter
inches square and five feet long. Have
a bearing turned at one end, and an

Then set off one foot in length to form

Yours very truly, w. NJ. Lord.
1t will be noticed that the Gov

to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments.
The reason for this is, most other
ailments begin with a cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he
protects his family against other
ailments. This is exactly what every
other family in the United States
should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
