London, Jan. 5.-The following is
received from Riga, Livonia, dated Jan.
B: "There were no conflicts between
the troops and revolutionists today,
thanks to the extremely stringent
measures taken by Governor General
SollOgub. The soldiers, however, are
in a very bitter mood, owing to the
massacre Of their comrades, and it is
feared they will get out of hand and
execute summary vengeance on the
Workmen of the Provodnik rubber fac

an Official inquiry and promised that
the guilty should be punished.

they venture to rebuild the chapel and

vast convent such as it is to-day, has
known little change.
Now Carmelites and converts, too,

of the Carmelite congregations are

WILL SOON LOSE THEIR CONVENT
IN CITY OF PARIS.
Story Of This Order Which Is Noted
for the Rieors Of Its Discipline
and Simplicity Of life.

Another religions order is soon to
feel the rigors Of the French civil law
separating church and state. The
Carmelites, and converts who refuse
to comply with the law are to be driv-
en- out, and the home In Paris is soon
to be closed.
The story of this order of Catholic
sisters is an interesting one. The
Carmellte sisters planted in France
the severe discipline impaired by St.
Theresa of Spain to their order AS If
attracted by the sharpness of the con-
trast between their life and that of the
pleasure loving court, it became the
fashion for women of the aristocracy
to make a retreat in the little convent
des Champs The Duchess de Tongue
vile was one of the first, and it was
she who took steps to obtain funds for
the little community she had brought
INTO the city. The rule of the order
forbade the sisters to accumulate
money; poverty was obligatory. But
few rich noyices were received. and
the sisters seemed to- have found all
they wanted for their daily sustenance.
The wealthy and noble women who
from time to time occupied cells in
the convent were obliged to conform
to the rule of the house, and very
Spartan they found the fare.
Modification of the flesh was the
keynote of the order. Every sister
wore hair shirt, to irrltate and
wound the tender skin. Twice a week
they were severely fogged with small
whips, one sister performing the office
for another. Their gowns were of the
coarsest serge, and their bare feet
were thrust into sandals. They slept
on hard straw mattresses in small,
single cells, and through the greater
part of the day the strictest silence
was observed.
Every day was exactly like the last,
except that fast days introduced yet
sterner note into the days work
This severity has been somewhat
modified in Paris and in the other
French houses OF the Carmelites. But
the routine remains practically the
same. A great deal of time is neces-
sarily spent in the gardens. which are
usually fine. Herbs, lettuce, vegetables
of all kinds, fruit and a few flowers
are carefully cultivated.
The quiet house in the Rue Notre
Dame des Champs received an illus
trious penitent in 1876, when the
beautiful and unhappy Louise de la
Valliere renounced the world azd it's
pleasures and took the vows of the
Carmelite order.
During the revolution, the convent
doors were burst in, the sisters scat

Her Nerves and Her Hat..

A writer in a medical journal has
lately advanced the theory that wom-
ems heavy hats are responsible for
women's jangling nerves and proven
bal quick temper. The popular i'm
preston has been that the man who
paid for the hats was the one whose
temper suffered; but it seems that
large hats weigh too heavily upon the
fragile feminine Uranium and affect
the blood vessels and nerves, and
through them the brain. Moreover,
according to the writer, the effort to
keep large and heavy hats at the
right angle impose parlous strain
upon the nerves of the wearers. The
theory is advanced in all seriousness.
but the chances are that it will not
induce any normal woman to cut OF
her hat supply.-New York Sun,

Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for Time.
It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doc
tors themselves sometimes forget the
facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me, although had palpitation
of the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead. and
since that time have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when l tried a small
quantity of coffee which caused severe
irritation and proved to me must let
it alone.
When we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put a little bit of
butter in the pot when boiling and al
low the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives 1t the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
II have advised a great many of my
friends and patients to leave off coffee
and drink Postum, in fact daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. There's a reason"

Wills Missing Thirty Years Found.

Three wills, drawn up more than
forty years ago and put in bank box
which lay for more than thirty years
in the old vault of the Canal bank
building, recently demolished, were
brought to light yesterday when the
old box, which was taken out some
time ago. was opened in order that an
inventory of It's contents might be
made.
The bank box was the property Of
Pierre Charles Cuvellier, once a we'll
known notary Of this city, who nearly
twenty-five years ago ended brilliant
career by killing himself before the
tomb of beloved relative in the old
st. Louis cemetery. Though it Is not
definitely known how many years the
old box had remained in the vault,
1t is stated that approximately thirty
one years had passed since it was put
away and left there in charge Of the
old bank.
None Of the wills was opened and
there Is still much conjecture as to
what was contained in them-New
