known by the names of Essenians, Es-
sennees, sEsyans. Coenobites and Faith

of whom Elijah, the prophet, was the
chief rabbi, described by Pliny, were
known as Carmelites. Whatever the

pieces of board and the sanded and
the stamped paper covers which when

their own homes they sit down beside
pot of paste and begin the long days

and placing them In, the sun TO dry.
When several hundred of these are
completed, they pile them upon a
board, lay another board on top of the
stack, then tie them tightly with a
small rope and, bundling them on
their backs, trudge off to the factory.
There the boxes are counted and the
number entered in a book against the

reflected in flaps, and the tumor itself
strangulated with hgature in one Of
the usual ways. The flaps should then
replaced, and the result will be a
