CANDLE MANY CENTURIES OLD j Inhabitants of Arras Have Great ! Faith in Sacred Relic Most Care- i fully Guarded. Devastated Arras possesses an an- ' cient church. Notre Dame des Ardents, which remained uninjured despite the recent terrific bombardment, and which contains a unique relic that is ; nearly 1,000 years old. k The relic is known as the noly candle It is guarded in a richly enam- | eled silver casket, made to the order ! of Jean de Sasquepee, lord of Baudl-1 mont and owner of Arras, and a curi- j ous history is attached to it. It ap- j pears that in May, 1105, the Holy Vir- i gin appeared during the night to two ! minctrolc A terrible plague depopulated Arras at that time, and the Virgin?so goes the legend?gave the two minstrels a candle, which they in turn gave to Bishop .Lambert of Arras and old them that the hot wax of this candle mixed with pure water would cure the I inhabitants of Arras of the dreadful j malady. The remedy proved efficacious, and a grateful populace erected the monastery of Ardents. The candle has been carefully guarded, and it is the firm belief of the inhabitants of Arras that it frequently saved them from utter destruction. j IS WORK OF MANY MONTHS t a ? _ ^ 7 ? vunsnin.nun or iric marvelous ceppw lir> Aircraft Not a Matter Which Can Be Hurried. The building of a Zeppelin is not the work of a day. The mere work on the vessels takes an entire year, and when that work is done another three months must be spent in testing. Stretched in a framework of girders, there are from seventeen to twentyfive ballooneties from end to end. Over these and over the girders is an outer skin of proofed canvas. Slung under the great length is a series of cabins. Right in front is the station of the lookout man, who is in charge of the starting and the landing; he nas anchors slung beneath'him. In the first boat, which is entirely covered in, are two petrol engines. Behind this boat lb the gangway, fitted up with sleeping berths for the crew. In the center is the observation station. It is from here that the bombs are dropped, and it is in here that the marvelous steering and sighting apparatus is installed, as well as the wireless plant. r. ?; Training for the Housewives. The failure of former shop and factory girls as wives and housekeepers is often commented upon by American social workers. In this connection it is interesting to note the establishment in Leipsic of a compulsory con tinuation school for unmarried women employed in industry. According to the regulations provided for this purpose by the municipal council all unmarried women who have finished the public schools v. and who live, or are employed in industrial, mercantile or other estab lishments is Leipsic are compelled to attend this continuation school for three years. Even unemployment is not accepted as an excuse for failure to attend the school. Housekeeping is the central subject taught, although Instruction is also to be given in industrial and general subjects. The number of hours of instruction ranges from four to six each week. In addition to the compulsory features of the school, provision is also made for voluntary attendance on the part of girls living at home or in service. Hair Pulling a Disease. Hair pulling isn't confined to marlt tal disputes. There is a curious affliction, more of nerves than of the akin, called trichotillomania, which causes people to pull out their own hair. In the last number of the Journal of the American Medical Association a Kansas City specialist describes two cases which he treated. A young Aroman of twenty-eeven was in the habit of pulling ou. her eyebrows^ a schoolboy of fourteen tweaked the hairs out of the left aide of his head. The hair pulling was Involuntary; lrrestetable impulses, coming suddenly, caused them to do it Rest, freedom from worry and tonic containing arsenic nroduced noticeable improve ment in both cases. 8ecret Closely Kept Cologne's toilet water industry, which is being so seriously affected by the war, was established in the beginning of the seventeenth century. The inventors of toilet water (eau-de-Cologne) ware Paul Feminis and Maria Clementine, a Catholic nan. They began on a small scale, with few persons employed, whom they did not initiate into the secrets of the whole process, the last and most important mixture being made by the inventors themselves. Paul Feminis left the secret with the Farina family, while the nun bequeathed the secret to one Peter Schaeben, who had been her assistant for many years. Thrift Mayor Mitchel of New York, at the conference of mayors in Philadelphia, said at a luncheon: MA Hrir fihmild be conducted as thriftily as a Scotch household. You know, of course, the kind of Scotch household I mean?the kind where the father, setting off on a fortnight's business trip, says in the hall: M 'Good-by, all, and, Kathleen, dinna forget to mak' lettle Dugald tak' his glasses ail when he'e na lookin' at pHeOdHg.'
