A GREAT EDUCATIONAL AGENCY

It may seem difficult to believe, yet
it is true. that the largest educational
agency in the state Is the North Da-
kota Sunday School Association. The
Teacher Training department. now
numbers about 100 enrolled. Some
of these are making slow progress
due to other cares and responsible
ties, but next June at the commence
ment exercises to be held in James
town, it is expected that a class of
two hundred or more will graduate. a
respectable proportion of them too,
from the three-year course.
This is the growth, of a quadren-
mum. There are now, including all
graduates from the beginning of the
society, 255 graduates. So favorable
has been the past that the goal for
the coming commencement has been
set at $500 for enrolment and 200
for the graduating class.
The benefits of the association are
many:
People have been reached and
persuaded to take up the work, who
could not have been reached by any
other agency. In remote communities
and isolated neighborhoods classes
have been organized and single stu
dents have been started in course
of study. This has marked the be-
ginning to many, to thousands over
the country, of an interest in books
and reading, and lonely, prohtless
homes have been turned into season
of pleasure and benefit.
Interest has been quickened in
Bible study. Homes where the Bible
merely held a place on the parlor
table, provided a refuge for forest
leaves or the family records, now have
become centers Of study and the afore.
said Bible has become library Of re-
ligious books, treasury Of the rich
est thought. and q record Of tho 10
hgtous development Of wonderful PEG
pies. The matchless scope Of the
Christian faith has been found Dor
trayed, and homes have become
brighter and more interesting. Lonl
winters have been converted into sea
sons Of mental and spiritual growth.

Paris.-The vintage OF 1912 in
France and Algeria, according to re-
ports just issued is much superior to
that of 1911. both In quantity and quail
ity. The wine of 1911 was very In
ferior. due to the lack of warmth dur
ing the late summer and autumn. At
the beginning of the present season
wine growers predicted an excellent
crop of grapes, and their predictions
seem to have been well founded.
The vintage Of 1912 amounted to

duced 6,671,181 hectoliters. Adding
the stock left over from 1911 in both
France and Algeria, total of $3.50.

Very few people 20 through life

Il is true. but the good effect Ia soon

the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative Is seldom

permanent results can be obtained
by using scientific remedy like Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. II does not
hide behind high sounding name
but is what It is represented to be
a mild laxative medicine. II Is SO
mild that thousands OF mothers give

ingredients that II will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic con
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers OF Syrup Pepsin are

years and found nothing to beneh

Graveyard Of Twentieth Legion
Exhumed at Chester, Eng.
Bronze Coins Of the Emperors An
tonius, PuF and Commodus
Are Found With the
Remains.

London.-The extension of the In
Urinary at Chester has led to the dis
covery of the graveyard used by the
twentieth legion Of the Romans during
their occupation Of that city.
The Chester inhTmary occupies
site which is locally referred to as
the plague field" The site seems to
have acquired it's unsavory name from
the fact that casual discoveries OF hui
man remains had led to the supposi-
ton that they were the victims Of
the great plague,
The recent unearthing OF remains III
larger numbers on the site OF the eX-
tension Of the infirmary led to an In
vestigation by Prof Robert Newstead,
who now reports that the evidence
proves conclusively that the inhrmary
field was not used as a burying ground
during the outbreak of the plague, and
that all the burials which have been
so far unearthed belong to the Ro-
man period.
Four distinct types of graves have
been uncovered One is tomb formed
of local sandstone, evidently repre-
senting a burial Of some Importance
as the walls of the tomb are covered
in plaster, and the dome OF the struc
ture originally stood out in marked
contrast to the surrounding surface o.
the land, forming a distinct tumulus
Some of the graves were formed b!
placing Roman roofing tiles bearing
the stamp of the twentieth legion upol
the floor and also at the sides, tn
legionary stamps always facing IN
ward
Another type of burial was forme'
by placing rough hewn sandstone s.
that a V.shaped trough was forme
for the reception of the body,
fourth type OF grave consists OF sin
ple trench, dug in the solid clay at
depth of not more than two feet fror
the original land surface.
