ANCIENT ITALIAN
FESTIVAL SEASON
BEGINS AT GUBBI0
Hearst News Service.

f1edrSL NEWS SERVICE.
Rome, May 16.-Thousands of pill
grims from all parts of Itlay and from
other lands are gathered today in the
little Umbrian town of Cubic, to wit
ness the famous procession of the ceri,
which the natives hold every year on
May Is in honor of their patron saint
and former bishop, st. Ubaldo. This
quaint ceremonial dates back to the
mists of antiquity and is said to have
been of heather origin.
A ceri is tall wooden pole or mast
which passes through the middle of
two lantern shaped frames of wood
and vancas, separated from each other
and surmounted by the figure of a
saint. The lower extremity of the
mast fits into a wooden stretcher pro-
vided- with two long shafts, one at
each end, so that it can be borne along
the steep streets and up the mountain
side above the town on the staIwart
backs of the young and vigorous.
These ceri are three in number, and
each is surmounted by the image of a
separate saint-the first By that of
st. Ubaldo, the second by that of st.
George and the third by that of st.
Antonio.
/ St. Georges ceri rests on supports
representing heap of wine barrels,
a collection from various shops, a
drum mace. and battleax and a. pile OF
spears, because that warrior saint is
the patron of the shop keepers, as &C
cording to Napoleon, he was in Eng
{ land.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the
bishop gives his benediction to the
ceri, and then at a given signal the
eeraioli dash down the steep Va Dante
at full speed, bearing the three Ger
in rapid succession round the town.
All the time the great bell of the
palace is tolIing; finally the bearers o
the ceri rush wildly thrice around tn,
square. Then out of the square tn,
procession rushes up the hill to tn,
gate of st. Ubaldo, which lead
: through the ivyclad walls to the hill
/ side.
At the gate the bearers rest fey

Talking Causes Disease.

A,London clergyman holds. that ex-
cessive talking is the cause of the
majority of nervous diseases and of
insanity. The Rev. b. S. Lombard
advanced this theory in a lecture on
SILENCE as a Factor in Healing de-
livered to the Psyche Therapeutic
Society,""
People silent by nature" affirms
Mr.. Lombard, "are never ill. Very
often those whom the specialists re-
ceive in their consulting rooms are
great takers. To talk about synnp.
toms is afatal habit" Mr.. Lombard
quoted the case of lady who came to
his house badly broken down. She
had been to specialists without result
and now came to him for silence
cure. After staying for some time ant
avoiding talk she left perfectly cured
Unfortunately her woman friends
forced her to talk SO much in describ
ing the cure that she got i'll again.
A London specialists, DR.. Stensol
Hooker, suggests that every hospita
should set apart at least one room TO
the silence cure.

issue, comic-operatic in its conception.
While the emperate> Parliamentary
Party are fighting tooth and nail to
reduce the consumption of liquor out
side the House of Commons, it is
curious to note that the contamination
of alcohol inside the House increases
year by year. One outspoken member
has gone so far to refer to this in
public and he has covertly limited at
many well-known politicians who,
thanks to the special facilities at the
House of Commons, are i'm danger of
becoming drunkards.
One of the liquor mems Party, Mr..
F, E. Smith, youthful lawyer who
promises to become a power in the
political world, has just drafted Bill
prohibiting the sale of alcohol in the
precincts of the House and, curiously
enough, the only opposition, to 1t comes
from the Temperance party. They af-
firm that, as leaders of temperate
thought. their teaching would lose
most of its efficacy If their abstinence
was compulsory instead of being the
result of will power.
There is no credit in resisting q
temptation that doesn't exist, they
say. But Mr.. Smith declares that o.
the thousands of gallons of whiskey
which are annually consumed in Par
Mament the greater part goes dowr
temperate" threats. There is more
hypocricy to the square inch in thu
English House of Commons than in an!
other legislative assembly in tn
world. ~

"eREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN"
Commander Craven Yielded Life That
Pilot Might Be Saved.

The higher and more valuable lie
the more ready it is to lay itself at
the service of others. 1t would some
times seem that the sacrifice were too
great, as in the example instanced by
Mr. Hutchinson In his Battle Of Mo-
bile Bay" Yet the very act of heroism
impresses the merit of the whole char
acter with dignity and worth which
carries it far in influence and rev.
erence.
During the battle a, shot from the
shore struck a cask torpedo and ex-
ploded it near the Tecumseh. A hole
was torn in the bottom 20 feet square,
and the ram sank like stone, turn

fathoms of water. One hundred and
ten men out of 100 were lost in an in

Commander Craven, one of the most
gallant officers of the service, was in

Model Liquor Saloon.

A model liquor saloon has just been
opened at the London Institute OF Hy-
giene as a pattern for practical tenn
perance reformers.
The Institutes idea Of the liquor
saloon is entirely different from the
average London bar, and resembles
rather the Continental cafe. Instead
of ordering refreshments at the bar,
as is universal in England today, the
Institute suggests that the customers
should sit at small handicapped
tables and have their drinks brought
to them by attendants. and that they
should be supplied with music, illus
trated papers. chess and dominoes.
According to famous surgeon, Sir
William Bennett, who organized the
show, the abolition of the drinking
bar, the provision Of food as well as
drink, and to establishment of rational
amusements. are the lines upon which
