MONKS WANT PANTS

stltutlon Starts Trouble.


London.-A st. Petersburg dispatch
says that the monks OF st, Michael
near Maikop, in the Caucasus, are out
On a strike and demand more food
more leisure and a supply OF trousers
They are determined to enforce their
rights, and as long as justice is de-
nied them services will not be held at
the monastery. The bells are silent,
and the cloisters dark and forsaken.
The trouble has arisen owing to the
possession Of fixed ideas" by Father
Ambroslo, who is the head Of the
monastery. His ideas do not stop at
the ordinary fuIfilment of the monks
obligations to be devout, chaste and
/ temperate.
He has the impression that devo-
tions are the best substitute for daily
bread, and so the worthy father length
sned prayers and shortened rations.
In the intervals between the devo.
lions and the ever-decreasing meals
the monks are called upon to perform
hard work in the fields. This is found
very trying, because the Russian mon
Astery dweller generally possesses n
human leaning toward an abundance
Of food and drink and extended leisure
in which to play cards. Given these,
he occasionally contriyes to find lit
tie time for the devotions that make
him a complete monk.
But a denial even worse than those
already described was inflicted upon
the long-suffering monk of ST. Mich
ael. The supreme shock came
when Father Ambrosio refused to sup
ply trousers to the .dwellers within the
convent walls. The ecclesiastical die
tator ruled that those articles of ap-
parel we're a luxury. The latest cur
tailment caused much discomfort, and
In cold weather the parades were the
source of considerable unpleasantness
The sans culotte regime was en-
larly cold day arrived and the strike
was resorted to. While working in
undignified garb in the field the breth-
rem Of st. Nichaeps "downed their
tools" This maneuver was skillfully
planned, for Just at that time large
number of pilgrims had come to the
district and monastic services in the
chapel of s.. Michaers convent were
greatly in demand.
The strike was complete and was
keenly felt b. those at whom it was
aimed. The monastery authorities |.
whU, 1t is said believe in frugality and .
economy, are still holding out in the

they get plenty of food from their sor-
rowing friends and are going about

FIND MANY ANCIENT BONES

Into the Death of adams
Aunt"

London.-The skull and other re,
mains of a woman believed to be of
great antiquity have been unearthed
by some workmen excavating for clay
in the Fiction yards Of the London
Brick company at Peterborough.
The bones were found In the super
fetal gravel, and are in good state of
preservation. Local paleontologlsts be-
lieve that they may equal In age the
skull Of the primitive woman which
was discovered last autumn in pit
at Piltdown common, Sussex, and
which evoked SO much interest In the
scientific world.
The discovery was reported formal
ly to the police, but the local superin-
tsndent facetiously stated that he had
no desire to inquire into the death Of
Adams aunt.

public buildings support more than
one pole The capitol has four per
manent STATS, one on the senate side.
one on the roof of the house, one At
the west front and one at the east
front. On the state, war and navy
building are three poles, one for each
of the departments quartered In that
crowded structure. On the postofiice
department are two poles, one on the
east and the other on the west tower.
Some of the big new office buildings
carry more than one fagpole. On the
Colorado building are three. Even
some of the older buildings are not
content with one. On the Ebbitt
house are four.
A tall pole is 90 feet. A few In the
city rise a little above this height
The average cost of one of these
poles, including the installation of 1t,
is 5000.
In the grounds of the naval and mil
itary establishments in and around
Washington the masts rise 100 feet
but they are in two or three sections
Some of these tall government masts
are of wood and othern are of steel.
The fiagpole on top Of the White
House is iron-apparently OF iron
piping bound together like bundle OF
rods, the central pipe projecting to
considerable height above the others.
A number of private establishments
have permanent fagpoles projecting
outward with an inclination from an
upper window, a balcony or the top
of a portico, and on fete occasions the
number of these stats is greatly null
tiplied.
