STRANGE MONUMENT
THE. CELTIC STONES FOUND IN
SOUTHERN BRITTANY.
Authorities Differ az to Their Mean
ing-A Relic Of Prehistoric Peo-
ple-Thought to Have Had
Sepulchral Origin.

The stone monuments of that prehis-
toric people-Celtic or Turanian-upon
whom tradition and history alike
throw so little light, are &c md all along
the western fringe Of Europe, but no
where do they exist to such an extent,
or in so perfect state Of preservation.
as in the Morbihan district OF southern
Brittany. Around the village OF Car
nae, at the base of the promontory Of
Quiberon, wide area Of country Is
dotted over with cromlechs. dolmens
and tumuli. Some of these have fallen
into decay, others only explored during
recent years, stand as they we're lett
by their early builders many centuries
ago. The most remarkable feature,
however, is presented by the align
ments, or lines OF standing stones,
which run across the country, up hill
and down dale, for distance OF more
than two miles.
The alignments Of Carnac have for
long been a puzzle to the archaeologist.
They consist of three groups separated
by short intervening spaces. The most
westerly is the group Of lie Menec. the
Place of Remembrance" The stones.
some of which are 16 feet in height
and weigh many tons, are about 300
in number, and are arranged In II par
allel lines, with about ten feet between
each stone. At the western end, where
there is a circle some 300 yards in d.
ameter, the stones are very large, but
followed in an easterly direction they
gradually diminish in size until they
cease altogether near the road from
Auray to Carnac. After an interval OF
300 yards the group Of Kermario, 1.-THE
Place of the Dead" is reached. Here
the stones form ten rows Of about 1900
feet in length. The arrangement as
regards size is repeated, the stones on
the west being the largest, but grad
ual diminution occurring towards the
east. Another short break separates
the group of Kerlescant, 1.-The Place OF

The stones are of unhewn granite,
similar to that found in the neighbor.

covery beneath some of them OF ashes

but no traces of human bones.
What meaning these menhirs have
or for what purpose they were erected
is lost in the mists Of antiquity. Some
have supposed them to be the remains
of a great temple; others that they
commemorate q battle. Most authori.
ties, however, consider that they had q

FACTS ABOUT APPENDICITIS
May Be the Result Of La Grippe or
the overuse Of Meat, Says
This Authority.

There Is no denying the fact that
appendicitis Is of frequent occurrence.
1t seems clear also that the number Of
cases are constantly increasing, says
Medical Talk for the Home.
In our opinion, this Is due to two
causes. First, the repeated epidemics
of la grippe. La grippe is disease Of
the. mucous membrane, and attacks
with special virulence the tonsils, the
glands of the stomach and bowels. 1.
so happens that the structure Of the
vermiform appendix is very similar to
the structure of the tonsils. Every at
tack Of la grippe undoubtedly infiames
the appendix and It suffers along with
the tonsils and the glands Of the stom-
ach and bowels. This produces a
chronic catarrhal condition Of the YER
inform appendix. which undoubtedly!
paves the way for numerous cases Of
appendicitis.
There is still another thing tina.
causes appendicitis-th overuse OF
meat. Whatever can be said in favor
of the use OF meat, at least it must be
admitted that the meat contains the
detrltus and effete matter that is al
ways circulating through living bodies.
The consumption of meat liberates
within the intestinal tract gases and
acids which in many cases prove to be
a constant source of irritation.
Meat eaten once day, in moderate
quantity. probably would do no harm,
but there are people who eat meat
three times day and in enormous
quantities. These people need not be
surprised If they experience bad re-
suits from such diet. The vermiform
appendix is irritated by that condition
of the bowels which is produced by the
presence of meat.
In Porto Rico where they have 10
epidem;cs OF la grippe and where the
diet Is mainly vegetable diet, appcn-
dicitis is unknown.
Thus, in our opinion. there are two
causes at work to account for the
alarming increase OF the number of
cases of appendicitis-epidemics of 10
grippe and the enormous consumption
Of meat.

canoe of the names the groups bear has
been held to support this view.
The tumuli, Of which a large number
exist in the neighborhood, appear TO
have no very definite relation to the
lines of standing stones. Each consists
of a mound of earth heaped over a
central chamber, the walls and roof of
which are formed of broad, fiat stones.
In some cases there are two or three
chambers opening into each other. In
the course OF long ages the earth has
been washed away from many Of the
tumuli, and the stones OF the central
chamber now stand uncovered. Such a
structure Is called q dolmen. In Eng
land 1t would be a cromlech, but In
Brittany this term is more correctly
applied TO a circle Of stones. Within
the tumuli ashes, bones, ornaments,
stone axes, and other objects have been
found. An interesting feature Of the
axes is that they have nearly~all been
deliberately broken, possibly that their
spirits might be liberated to serve theiI
master In another world.

THE MAKING OF MUFF BEDS
All Year Long the Foundations Of
Ladies' Hand Warmers Are
Turned Out.

There was a sign of "Muff Beds in
the window of the basement, and
white sacks that had the look of pill
low slips for medium-sized pillows
hung within on two lines across the
window panes, says the New York
Times.
Inside a man and q woman scantily
clothed as possible because Of the in
tensity of the heat sat at sewing ma
chimes, making the muff beds.
Back Of q counter piled deep with
muif beds stood another man. He ex-
planned that the muff beds were not
beds for the muffs to sleep on, but
the soft feathery foundations for the
fur to be sewed on. Upon being asked
why the work could not be postponed
until cooler weather, he replied that
their work was never postponed. They
began making muff beds in January,
he said, and kept straight on making
them until the January following. I'M
less some member Of the firm died,
and they had holiday.
"This is the time we sell the mum
beds, too" he continued. "It is upon
the same principle that palmleaf fans
are sold In January or sealskin sacks
In July; or Christmas stories for the
magazines in July, and Fourth Of July
stories in January. All goods are sold
six months ahead Of time, but we work
all the time.
zone reason of this is that New York
is the only city in the United States
where nun beds are made. Also we
supply nun beds to many another coun-
try.
1.-THE nun beds are stuffed with va
rious and sundry things that vary their
cost. Some with tiny chicken feathers,
some with rabbit hair. and some with
down. The most expensive mum beds
are stuffed with down.

TO TEST PEDDLERs, LAW.
First Case Under the New Statute
Tried in Green County.

Special to Times Republican.
Jefferson, July 2S.-The first case to
come up in Greene county under the
new law providing for peddler's IL
cense was tried this week at Cooper.
1t appears that a merchant named r..
H. Good. of Herndon. sent huckster
or peddler wagon into the Cooper
neighborhood. and under the provisions
of the resolution lately passed by the
board iof supervisors. three Cooper
merchants united and had Mr.. Good ar
rested for not being provided with
proper license. The case came before
Justice Frame. who set hearing of the
matter for this week. The validity of
the law is being generally assailed and
the outcome Of this case will be watch
ed with interest, as it is likely to deter
mine the course of future procedure
under this act in Greene county.
Wednesday the above case was tried
and Justice Frame discharged Mr..
Good on the theory that he was a
huckster and that the peddler's law did
not apply to his case. The meaning of
the law is said to be very uncertain.
