possession of the Roman chul 4.

they have given it a prominent placl
on their coat-of-arms, says the Dundee
Advertiser. 1t was not until 1196 that
the "Holy Coat" was placed over the
high altar, but 1t was not exposed to
the public gaze for some three hundred
years afterward. It was kept In Sc
cret place Of the cathedral known only
to a few, and there were many who
doubted it's existence. A guide book
of 1914 says:
"The existence Of the relic at pres

not visible. The attendants Of the
church say it is walled up" All doubts
were removed in 1874, when Archbish-
Cd Arnold announced a centenary

exploded more than one hundred
of these adroit falsehoods which
would pass muster with most
auditors. Here is where we can

propaganda. Thu next one you
hear, run it down to its source.
You will not get far before you

Germany and unfavorable to our

Steel SHORTAGE In Australia.

Stocks of steel plates, tin plate and
galvanized iron are low throughout
Australia, and the demand is acute, &C.
cording to- consular advices from Mel

little prospect Of outside relief, and
an effort is being made to manufacture
these goods in Australia. Recently
representatives Of company In New

to the United States to purchase
machinery for making steel. The high
freights and shortage of supply offer
great incentive to the manufacture
Of lines that would have been consid-

Instead of moving the hands of the

circular disk Of the dial would De put
in place by screws in curved slots, and
the dial would be rotated through one

change, leaving the hands untouched.

Oh. we miss him, how we miss him,
But we do not wish him back
To this world of woes and sorrows,

Where the holy angels whisper
Come with me Well guide you there.
