"As chief attorney Of the league,
/ wish to state that the request made

Department and the Department OF
edge, and while l would not have
given It my approval. Yam sure Mr..

his request was actuated by appre-
hension that there might be attempts
at unlawful eviction OF tenants by
some ill-advised landlords. The Ten

DISCOVERY OF HOLY CROSS

cry From the Jews.

Helena, mother OF Constantine the
Great was discovered the cross on
witch the Savior was cruciied and
the date is given as May ). The
story usually told is to the effect that
the empress went to Jerusalem and
there compelled the Jews to bring nv
cross from its concealment and give it
to her, together with other crosses il
their possession. Its identity was eS-
tahlshed by q miracle: The body of
dead man was placed on each of the
crosses, and when it touched the true
one the dead man Immediately came
to life. Many pilgrims travelling to
Jerusalem received pieces of the true
cross, and the question was raised as
to the possibility of supplying thou
sGt is with those fragments without
entirely carrying away the cross. It
was therefore said that the true cross
had the power of reproducing itself.
On the capture of Jerusalem in GA,
the cross we are told. was carried into
Persia whore it remained until re-
stored by Hpracliu>. which event is
COMMUNICATED in September and is
USUALLY called IIolyrood day. The four
nails were distributed so that two

TO REVIVE HOME INDUSTRY
the War Has Given Impetus to
New Movement

hat was accomplished by the vast
volunteer army of knitters during the
war IL one Of the creditable fact; IN
the history Of the world upheaval
through which civilization has been
passing, says the ST. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat. But for the millions of Devoted
women who kept the needles flying the
horrors Of the trenches would have
been still more frightful and deadly.
The achievements of the kntters have
suggested the organization in New
York of society for the revival Of
home industry and domestic art. Its
first move is to gather all the spinning
wheels within reach and look up prac-
tical instructors in the use of house
hold implement that had become but
an antique piece of furniture. Man
kind needs WeaverS as well rs plow-
men. and spinning at home is one of
the oldest forms Of industry. In the
cabins Of American pioneers the spin
ming wheel was a necessity, and kept
busy in what, by a stretch of imagi-
nation, were called spare hours. Those
were the days Of homespun textiles
because often no others were to be
had.

KAFRISTANS A WARLIKE RACE
Hereditary Foes Of Afghans, Their
Chief Form of Diversion Is
in Murderous Forays.

Adjoining Afghanistan, and now IN
der the same government, is kafristan,
a billy country inhabited by primitive
but most interesting people. Like the
Afghans, they are warlike and hos
ptable, but perhaps owing to the
abundance of vines in the country, are
great wine bibbers. Hitherto they
have been the hereditary enemies Of
the Afghans, and still the raids and
forays on peaceful Afghan villages are
regarded as the choicest form OF
sport.
The gatherings Of young warriors for
an attack on the Afghans are the oc-
Casion of all-night revels, and a selec-
ton is made of the most promising
volunteers, an exchange says. The
raid lasts about q fortnight. and on
its return the party kindles bonf1res
on hilltop to announce its arrival.

USE FRUIT TO MAKE JARS
Common Household Utensils Con-
structed of Peculiar Ware in
Central Province of India.

There IS a peculiar ware that Is
made by the Baniaras in the central
provinces of India from the fruit of
the aoUla. The fruit is collected and
dried. 1t is then boiled in water I'M
tile quite soft and pounded the stones
removed and the pulp beaten up and
worked with the hands into O thick,
brown, sticky mass. When this Is
quite ready the manufacturer takes an
earthen vessel-any shape that pleases
him-and covers it all over with a
thick layer or coat Of the pulp. This
is then put aside to set bit, and
when hard rude devices are stamped
round the neck and shoulders Of the
article, which is then set aside to dry.
When entirely hard, the gharra inside
Is broken and the pieces removed.
These vegetable pots are sold accord
ing to size from four to eight annas
each.
The aoula tree is abundant through
out the forests of tropical India and
Burma. and the fruits are frequently
employed in medicine and for tanning.
Another material used for making
Jars is the root of the great asphodel
The feshy root of this plant by dry
ing in sand oven and grinding, is
prepared into -four, which. when
mixed with hot water, yields a most
tenacious vegetable glue with which
the Persians make great vessels for
holding oil and clarifying butter. The
native cobblers employ it in prefer
ence to animal glue In their work.

ETHER FIRST USED IN BOSTON
In 1914 Horace Wells, Dentist, Made
Successful Experiment on
Himself.

In 1914, Horace Wells, dentist, Hart
ford, Conn, attended a lecture by Col
ton on nitrous oxid gas, In illustrat-
ing the lecture gas was administered
to one of the audience, who became
unconscious. This led Wells to be-
lieve that it might be employed to rem
der painless the extraction of teeth.
He tried it on himself and found that
it was so.
During the same year William Nor
ton, @ Boston dentist heard that sui
furic ether could be inhaled In small
quantities to produce unconsciousneSs.
Accordingly. he experimental. He was
insensible for eight minutes. On re-
covering he concluded that ether might
be employed successfully in surgical
work. On October 16, 1916, Morton ad-
ministered ether to a patient in the
Massachusetts general hospital in
Boston.
1t was in November, 1S47. that Simp-
son, famous Scottish scientist of Edin-
burgh. resolved TO try personally the
inhalation Of chloroform. Sitting with
his friends, Duncan and Keith, around
a dinner table, he proposed that they
inhale chloroform. Each consented to

ed then they fell into deep stupor.
Simpson, recovering first, found Dun
can snoring on the floor, and Keith,

AMBER FORMED BENEATH SEA
Natural Resin of Pines Turned into
Precious Material by the Actor
of the Elements

The worlds sut,r1y OF amber. that
rare and therefore precious substance,
the gold Of the north" as it has been
called. comes from the coast of Sam.
land in the eastern Prus>ian PENN
sula, between the towns of RurStrort
and Palmnicken. aud here the Sha IS
of q famous mine run out under the
Baltic and the miners are actually
working under water. Ages ago the
country was q land of pine forests
which the ocean overwhelmed the
pine trees vanished beneath the sur
face of the sea, and then, century by
century. the wood became foSSilized
and the natural resin Of the pines was
turned into amber. Millions of years
were needed to transform the resin
into amber, and the search for amber
has developed romantic and picturesque
episodes like those that have become
part and parcel of the story of gold
and diamonds. An amber mine. how
ever, is not necessarily under water
and there is an open-air mine at Palm
uicken where amber is dug for in much
the same way as diamonds are sought
in the mines of Kimberley. In nor
NAL times this one mine provides &C.
cupation for about 5000 amber
seekers.
