THE SAVlOUR'S BLOOD,
A Relic of the Crucinxion Preserved
mt Bruges

A Relic of the Crucinxion Preserved
mt Bruges.
Many cities profess to possess as a
relic some of the blood Of Christ. pre-
served from that which flowed from
him during the crucifixion. st. Louis
brought particles to Paris which he
had received from the emperor of Con-
stantinople. The Church of st. John
Iateran, in Rome; the Imperial mon.
astery ut Weingarten. q church in Man
tua and the Chapel of the Precious
Blood, In Bruges, all put forward SINH
lar claims.
The precious blood at Bruges enjoys
the widest fame and is reported to
have been collected from the Saviour's
wounds by Joseph of Arimathea and
Nicodemus when they took down the
body from the cross. 1t was brought
to Bruges by Thierry Of Alsace in 1147.
He had received it from his brother-in-
law, Baldwin, king of Jerusalem.
Nearly six centuries ago the extraor-
Bruges by the inhabitants and visitors
had induced the ecclesiastical and civil
authorities to institute solemn pro
cession In which it should be borne in
the streets.
A confraternity of the precious blood
consisting Of thirty members, with a
provost and four chaplains, was estab.
lished to guard 1t at all times.
The procession takes place annually
and the blood, contained in crystal
cylinder and inclosed in its shrine, is
carried about with much pomp ant
ceremony.

"Dust Devils" of the Desert.

Travellers in the celebrated Death

wonderful contortions of the sand pill

send spinning across the hot plain.
Even more remarkable are the dust
devils seen by Mr.. Ii. F. Witherby,
the English explorer, In the valley OF
the White Nile Sometimes two Of

posite directions, meet, land II they be

A POSSIBLE MARKET.
American Coal Might Find Ready Sale
in Smyrna.

possibilities for American coal in
Smyrna" Is the subject upon which United
States Consul Lane at Smyrna has made a
report to the State Department He says
there are practically no coal mines in
Turkey, and that 30 per cent of all the
coal used there is imported from England.
Reports from the larger markets of Eu-
rope show that American coal Is gaining
ground in competition with the English
product. and the consul says there is no
reason why this should not be the case in
Turkey. The principal obstacle in the way
of Introducing American coal in Turkey
has been the relations of native coal mer-
chants with English exporters. but this
can be easily overcome. the consul says,
by applying to merchants who have not
hitherto been identified with the coal trade
and who can be induced to arrange for
sample shipments.
The annual consumption Of coal in
Smyrna and vicinity is about 15O, 600 tons.
the price Of which per ton is from 1894 to
$5.58. The present favorable freight rates
make 1t possible for American coal produc-
ers to lay their coal at Smyrna at from 4S
to q cents under the cost of English coal.
and this is considered a sufficient reduction
to induce Turkish consumers to give II a
trial.

From the Cosmopolitan.

From the Cosmopolitan.
The present generation of full-blooded In
dian babies is interesting from many points
OF view. In the first place, there is no
doubt that in few years there will be no
more full-blooded Indians born, as men and
women of pure Indian blood are rapidly
marrying either white persons or Indians
whose blood is largely mixed with that Of
the whites. Then, too. these little copper
brown babies are something of an anachro-
nism. for many OF them preserve. to a
great extent. the bringing up and training
known to their fathers, and at the age of
thirteen or fourteen find themselves welt

the far southwest that the curious little
Indian babies are to be found. There are
now among the twenty tribes only 5000
fuii-blOoded Indian children. In these same
tribes there are more than 10000 children
through whose veins courses q strain of
white blood. They are healthy, fat young

APPEAL FOR THE BoERs.
Address by Native Preacher on Con-

A fashionable audience, composed for the
most part Of ladies. listened to an able ad-

South Africa" by Rev. Herman Won
Brockhuizern Of Pretoria, Transvaal, yes
terday afternoon at the Washington Club
house The meeting was arranged by those
interested in assisting the Boers-especial
ly in alleviating the suffering among the
women and children.
Rev. BrockhuiZern said 1T was amusing
to hear the opinions of different persons on
the soldiers making up the Boer army.
Some people think 1t Is mixture of Jews,
Dutch, French and negroes. and speak Of
the native Beers as coIored. He denied
that the Boers began the war. as is some
times accused. but he said the British sent
their army into their midst and the natives
fought absolutely on the defensive and for
independence.
The concentration camps he considers
the most atrocious Of all the evils of the
war. and he urged the women of this coun-
try to raise their voices in protest against
what he characterized as the "abominable
outrage
The speaker read a letter from his moth
er, who IS in South Africa, wherein she
stated the English were trying to reach
their object by letting the sick in the
camps die without medical attention.
He said the British war office refused to
place the women and children in camps
near the coast. where an international
committee might provide proper food but
insist on keeping them under guard where
disease Is prevalent.
During his address he said: 1--WE Beers
are no saints; We are human beings, but
We ask for our rights and we ask you to
help us In securing them, and as surely as
l stand here today 1 believe the Beers will
finally be free.

of Washington and the patriots, to help

his remarks. Rev. Won Brockhenzern said

was 100000 year. The treasurers of the

therefore available for appropriation by the
