GROUND WHEREON THE SAINT IS BURRIED IS SAID TO HAVE CURATIVE POWERS MUCH OF IT CARRIED AWAY.

Friday, December 21, the shortest day In tie year, is given in the calendar as St Thomas day. This festival was instituted in the twelfth century, and as an old author alleges, was assigned a place in the ecclesias

tical calendar from this apostile hav

ing been vouchsafed the most indisputable evidence of the resurrection of

is Lord and Master. It is said that after the dispersion

the apostles, Thomas preached the

spel to the Medes, Persians, Bac

ans, Ethiopians and natives of In-

Tlia, among the latter of whom he suffered martyrdom atMelapool, and was buried in a church ho had, caused to he built in that place. Marco Polo, who traveled in the thirteenth century, says: In . that

province of Malabar is the body of the glorious martyr, St. Thomas the

apostle, who there suffered martyr

dom. It rests in a small city, not

frequented by many merchants, be

cause unsuited for the purpose of

commerce; but, from devotional motives, a vast number of Christians and

Saracens resort thither. The Christians who perform this pilgrimage collect earth which Is of :ed color, from the spot where he was slain, and reverentially carry it away with them often employing It afterward in miracles, and giving it in water to the sick, by which means many disorders are cured." -

JJlr-Ctor William T. Horaadar n Ilia Knonrtedge and Adventure. William T. Hornaday, the director of the New York Zoological park, whose troubles with Ota Benga, the African pygmy, have made him lose sleep of nights, has had an Interesting and adventurous career. Animals have been his passion from childhood. lie was born fifty-two years ago In Indiana, and a portion of his youth was spent in Iowa. In the days of his boyhood wild animals were to be met with in these states much more often than now. He and his brothers were good sportsmen, and he roamed the forests at will, studied about animals at college and determined to devote bis life to researches as a naturalist. lie was employed for some time by a concern engaged in supplying animals to museums and zoological gardens and has traveled extensively. He has faced death many times In the course of his adventures. One of his most thrilling experiences waa with a big female elephant In an Indian forest. He came upon a herd which included this female and her calf, about three feet high. Of course Mr. Horaaday at once began to covet the calf and -wonder

Marion Plant's Experience

The Municipal light plant of Mar

ion, where the Lighting Trust fa try

ing to put the plant out of business has met even worse delays than Rich

mond's plant has suffered. The residents of that city are up In arms

because the Westinghouse Electrical

Company of Pittsburg Is holding back machinery, that their plant needs and needs badly. The feeling has become so intense that several members of the city council of Marlon, have ban Jed themselves together unofficially and

appealed to the company to ship their

paachinjery immediately. The Trust

has taken advantage of the Marion

plant in the same way that the Trust's

representatives have broached the merchants of this city during the de

lay in shipment

A significant feature of the Marion

The Way Flags Are. Turned Oat "With

Modern Machinery. By the-aid of modern machinery only

an hour is required for the manufac

ture of a silk or wool bunting American flag 6 by 10 feet in size. This

task includes fourteen different operations and twenty years ago required a day and a half to accomplish. The last

decade has witnessed the introduction

of splicing and cutting machines as well as improved sewing machines. These have revolutionized the flag making industry.

The first step in making a flag, says

the New- York Sun, is to cut the stripes from huge rolls of red or white silk or wool bunting. Machinery accomplishes most of this, although some

operatives equipped with huge shears

are still employed. The stripes are

given over to the machine operatives, by whom they are sewed together with lightninglike rapidity. The lock stitch is used and the thread fed from spools, each of which holds 24,000 yards.

The strips sewed together, the flag

Is ready to receive the union. The union is the blue field at the left upper corner of the flag bearing the forty-six stars, a star for every state, although

through the jungle after It. But he ;was heard, and before he could realize his peril the branches which screened the herd parted suddenly, and the huge old female elephant was upon him. "She had sufficient distance to get andor full headway," said Mr. Hornaday in relating tfce Incident, "and, al though my breath stopped and my heart stood still with sheer fright. I yet realized she was the grandest living object I over saw and' the most terrible. I knew It was folly to run. Tor in a few strides she would have been upon me. I threw my gun up to my shoulder and fired both barrels at Ihe base of her colled np trunk in the direction of the brain. She was within fifteen paces of me when I fired, but the thundering report, the smoke ejd two sine balls crashing into her skull rlose to her brain stopped er charge. She sheered off suddenly and rushed Inta the forest. There was a grand crash) In the thicket as the -rd broke away, and that was the las wo saw f It-

Stars of wool bunting flags are of

muslin, although the union itself is of the same material as the body of the flag. A star is always half the width

of a stripe of the flag it adorns.

Muslin stars are cut out by machin

ery at the rate of 3,000 an hour. A star is five pointed, each being precisely like its fellow. As fast as the stars are cut out they ar passed to girls

BUTLER'S ANNUAL REPORT.

For Every 10,000 Population There Are 21.4 Persons in County Poor Farms Slight Increase Over Last Year.

According to figures complied by Amos W Butler, secretary of the board of state charities, for his biennial report to the state legislature the county poor asylum population shows little change from year to year. The census of August 31, 1906, indicates 3,124 inmates as compared with 3,115 last year. This number is equal to 21.4 in every 10,000 population, according to the census of 1900. If the exact number of inhabitants of the state at the present time was avail able, the proportion of poor asylum inmates would, be slightly different. The two extremes are . found in the counties showing five inmates to every 10,000 inhabitants (Brown, Starks, Sullivan and Warrick) and in Switzerland county, which has the highest record in the state, 26 in every 10,000. A greater part of the highest proportions are found in 'the district from which the cenjral hospital has the power to receive chronic patience to the countiesthe poor asy
