Pilgrimage Takes Place in the Night by the Ascension at a Place in Roumania. "The wierdest pilgrimage on earth" is the phrase in which one writer de scribes the ceremony which takes place once a year, on the night of the Ass tension, at a place in Roumania, "Situated to the north-east of the town of Targu-Giu, in the western di- vision of Roumanis, is a great arid plaiv, ard on it," according to this writer in the Wide World, "grows a wonderful plant, termed in the vern- acular Frasinel (the hearer), or in Latin, Dictamnui albus or Dictamnue pers. "The peasants firmly believe that a night--this one night of the year-- spent amony the plants will cure -all ills, and they flock to the place by thousands. It was to see this pilgrim- affe without a parallel that we visited the place on the eve of the Ascension. "On reaching the edge of the plain we find many hundreds of carts, and every moment the crowd is increasid by newcomers. In the distance ean be seen groups occupying "claims." Others further afield are searching for the plant. Those in charge of the carts are engaged on their evening meal of bread, or mamaliga (maize meal), with onions, olives or garlic. "All are shivering with cold, for no fire must be lighted there to-night. On every other oceasion the opportunity of an outing is seized as an excuse for much wine drinking, but to-day the great wooden wine bottle, the ploska, in strangely absent. All one sees are the graceful earthenware water jars, from which one drinks from an open- ing in the handle, ~ S-- "People from all parts of Western Roumania visit this place of mirac- ulous cures. Arrived at the ground where the plant is mostly to be found, each party hunts out a root. At dusk a clenn white sheet is spread near it and the sick person, also in white, takes his place upon it. Three holy candles are then placed about the plant, as also a bowl of water. "Then the patient--by proxy, for he must not speak a word from the time he lies down until he gets up the fol- lowing morning--says the prayers used on this occasion. These are chanted by old women known as 'matuza,' or aunts, and should be repeated fifteen times in order to effect a cure. These aunts act in turn for different per- sons, receiving from each a loaf of bread and whatever els® the sick per- son can afford to give. "The pilgrim or all night with his Head close to ie stalks of he t, or evergreen ves, or Plat, of In the morning, immediate ly after sunrise, the bowl must be ex- amined, for if this happens to contain leaves hd Bowers of the t, er green leaves or blades yt the augury is good and" fie patient will eventually recover. i "I, however, it contains dead leaves, bits of earth, sand, or the like, then the portent is death, and that soom. So implicit is the belief in the augury that when it is unfavorable in the case of a child the peasant parents very often give the little one no fur- ther attention, regarding it as doom- ed anyway, "Those to whom the bowl oracle is favorable must pluck their plant und on the way home cast it into running water. That directs the course of the malady away from them. These for- tunate ones whd receive good signs generally come a second and a third "The Roumanian peasant goes to bed early, and so, before it fairly dark the plain is left to the sick pil- grims.

Buffalo, N.Y, Feb. 3.--So0 far as can be estimated from the present imper- fect statistics, the average of human life in the United States has been lengthened by ten years, according to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the nation's pure food expert. ' . "The most potent factor in longe- vity," says the , "is an abun dance of, food. In India have starvation and famine, with re- sultant short term of life. I don't believe that the human ine is dif ferent in thermo-dynamics from the steam me. Ey of coal in the bunk- ers," continued the doctor. "All food is good--some may be better than others." In vegard te typhoid fever epidemics, Dr. Wiley said typhoid fever is either murder: or suicide. : "Murder if the public is responsible for the conditions that result in the death of the victim," said he, "and suicide if he exposed himself to their deadly influence." Referring to the high rate of infant mortality, which he said was in many instances as high as 100 in every thou- sand, he declared that it was largely due to malnutrition, #&nd could be prevented if the babes who, for any reason or other, were deprived of the susennbEe eh nature had intended, cou supplied with pure, erly- modified milk. *' une. Prop Dr. Wiley, this morning, addressed the students of the University of Pui- falo. Later, he visited the Gralwick Laboratory for Cancer Research. This afternoon he will leave for Syracuse, RE ------------------ REGARD PENALTY AS LIGHT. Ten Years in United Jee New York Comment Upon Convie- tion of King George's Slanderer. New York, Feb. 3.--Under the head of "Libelling a King," the World says editorially : "A British subject has been sentenced to 'a year's imprison- ment for circulating a libel upon King George, and the fact has numerous aspects of interest. "That royalty should apply to the courts for redress against a commoner is not so notable a proceeding as titat the commoner when found guilty of seriously impugning the character of the monarch should get off so lightly. n a day of greater royal preroga- tives he would have been lucky to 'es- cape being hanged, drawn and quar- tered or Idked up in the tower for life, according to the usage of the time. As it is, he is punished no more severely for reflecting on a king's honor than if he had circulated the same rt about John Doe or any other fellow-subject. The penalty in the present case may be cited ns an exhibit in the evolution of popular rights. The divine right at least as concerns constitutional monarchs no longer confers extraordinary privi- ------------ MANITOBA MILK FAMINE. Milk is Being Imported Into That Province. Washington, D.C., Feb. 3.--The pro- vince of Manitoba is suffering fr n milk famine, according to United States Consul-General John E. Jone. at Winnipeg. More than 1,000 gallons of milk are imported into Winnipeg daily though with the ad valorem duty of 17§ per cent. milk has risem in price to a point where the dealer cannot profit. : The people of Manitoba, Mr. Jones reports, are hoping for the passage of the pending reciprocity agreement be- tween Canada and the United States which admits milk free of duty.
