A Religious Movement.

The influence of the higher religious
thought Of the Orient was bound. in
these days of rapid travel and aroused
intellectual curiosity, to make itself
felt, and one of the signs of the times
is the growing sale of small popular
epitomes of various phases of eastern
religious and philosophic thought, and
also translations of the great religious
poems of the Orient.
On this continent, Vedantism, The
osophy and esoteric Buddhism have
become fairly we'll known, and the

If your meals don't tempt you, or

you, or lays like o lump of lead In
your stomach, or If you have heart
burn or a sick. sour, upset or gassy
stomach, that is a sign Of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 5O-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
will be no soul risings, no belching
of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nau-
sea, Debi1ftating Headaches, Dizzi
ness or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go, and besides, there will be no
undigested food left over In the stom-

u odors. ssgsg1
Pape's D~iapepsin is certain cure for
out-of-order stomaehs, because it pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold of
your food and digests it just the same

BREAKING UP HOUSE
THAT Is WHAT EARL PERcY's
MOVING AMOUNTED TO.
NobIeman Of Sixteenth Century Had
Only One Set of Furniture for
All the Places Of Residence
Which He Occupied.

Most of the Percy estates were so
close together in the north, commerce
was already SO far developed, n
the earl himself was SO often absent
on business of state, that his house
hold vas generally able to avoid any
more serious displacement than the
periodical migrations from Wressill to
Leckinfield and back, a distance of
some twenty miles. These fittings,
however, turned everything upside
down for a day or two. For the earl.
like smaller men, had only IN set
of movables for all his residences;
and, as surviving documents testify,
he needed a far greater train for these
periodical journeys than for the con
tingent of 523 men at whose head he
served in the French campaign IN
1913. Only the heaviest articles were
permanent fixtures; all else must be
transported-beds, chairs, tables,
kitchen utensils, hangings for doors
and walls, and even glass easements
for the windows. This book throws a
vivid light on such phrases as the
breaking UP of my lords house" or
Ibis lordship set up his house again
Sometimes there was a partial
breakup without an actual move;
when my lord kept his secret house"
Diminishing the majority of his sery'
ants to live on board wages In the
village, and retiring to a corner OF
his own castle for some such .ap.
proach to the simple life is his mod
ern descendant might enjoy in a High
land shooting box. The general mi.
grations, when they came, followed a
strict routine; each man had his
specified share of horse and vehicle
for himself and his belongings.
A single paragraph will show not
only how carefully everything was or
ganized beforehand, but also (what
may be more unfamiliar to some read
ers) the very primitive sleeping ar
engagements which were common in
the middle ages. Item, 1t is ordained
at every removal that the dean, sub
dean, priests, gentlemen and children
of my lords chapel, with the yeoman
and groom Of the vestry, shall have
appointed them two carriages at
every removal; viz, one for their
beds; viz, for 6 priests 8 beds after
2 to a bed: for 10 gentlemen of the
chapel 5 beds after 2 to a bed, and
for 6 children 2 beds after 8 to a bed,
and a bed for the yeoman and groom"
Out of all the officers on these occa-
sions, high and low, six only had a
bed to themselves, and not one OF
the eight migratory priests was
among these privileged few. We find
even the sixth earl addressing hia
relative, Thomas Arundel, as bed,
fellow; for they had been servants
together in Wolsey's stately house

HUM0R IN THESE VERDlCTS
Quaint Ideas and Expressions Re-
corded as Having Been Rendered
by Coroner's Juries.

Referring to a verdict recently
given by a coroner's jury that death
was caused by the medical evidence"
the British Medical Journal says:
'"This verdict may be added to those
cited ii the report of the select COM
mittee on death certification, where
Doctor Ogle is quoted as saying, One
verdict came before me a little time
ago which was this: "a man died
from stone in the 'idney, which stone
he swallowed when lying on a gravel
path in a state of drunkenness" That
was given as a verdict. / thought
some joke had been played, and l
wrote down about it, and found it was
an absolute fact. Another n is
like this: Child three months old,
found dead, but no evidence whether
born alive,"'" These novel judg-
ments recall that an upstate newspa-
per not long ago spoke of taking Il
.=aered mans "post-mortem" state

CLERGYMEN IN QUEER ROLES
Three Took Part In a Towel-Washina
Competition and Another Got
Prize for Sewing.

At bazars and such-like functions
ministers of the gospel sometimes en-
gage In very amusing competitions
which they would scarcely dream OF
entering under any other auspices.
At a church bazaar at Slough some
little time ago great fun was occar
stoned by the appearance of a trio of
reverend gentlemen in the role of
washwomen.
They pitted themselves against each
other In a duster-washing competition;
and, having been provided with a
bowl of water, a piece of soap and a
dirty duster, they set vigorously to
work.
The time allowed for the washing
vas three minutes. On the expiration
Of which the busters were submitted
to the critical judgment of three mar
ried ladies. But they found the dust
ers of two of the competitors so well
washed that they could not decide
which was the cleaner.
A somewhat similar clerical contest
formed n Of the attractions at a ba'
Ear held in Manchester. In this in.
stance the articles elected to be
washed were towels, and each COM
petitor had not only to wash one, but
hang 1t out to dry. being allowed 3h
minutes for the work.
Two Wears and three curates took
part In this competition, the way they
shaped" at the washtubs causing
some of the lady spectators to shrek
with laughter.
The best was considered to be that
which had been done by a curate re.
Gently married, and somebody had the
h~afdihood to suggest that perhaps he
had been taking lessons at home.
At a bazaar arranged for the benefit
of a Liverpool church a handkerchief
hemmlng competition took place be.
tween three clergymen of the town.
They were to do as much as they
could in the time limit Of a quarter OF
an hour, and the prize, half a dozen
choice pocket handkerchiefs, was to
be awarded to the one who did the
most hemming Of a presentable char.
acter.
One Of the reverend gentlemen
proved quite an adept at the work, for
his hemming was not only by far the
neatest, but he did nearly double as
much as the next best competitor, and
therefore carried off the prize. In the
Is minutes allowed he hemmed nearly
one side of his handkerchief.
