Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT FOURTEENTH YEAR Senator Ben Tillman Is Going Crazy. It is not generally known out sidd of newspaper and higher official circles that United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina, has an incurable disease of the brain and that the Senator is right on the very verge of being a permanent mad man. On account of the high position which he hold and the inability of his friends and associates to get him to resign, the white press say little of the Senator's real condition. However, it is known that a guard is constantly on watch and keeps a close tab on the once great Negru hater's every act. The truth of the matter is Senator Tillman's mind is gone. At the Democratic love feast in Baltimore recently it was real pitiful to see this man Tillman, who once was so self assertive, the man who used to svay and incite large audiences to fever—heat madness by his poisonous, loud and bitter attacks and denunciations of the American Negro it was pititul, indeed, to see this man, now a mental wreck, obviously and painfully trying to be his old self—and then break down, burst into tears, cry and laugh as if his heart would break. His years of lying on the Negro is now telling its tale on him. The spirits of the thousands of innocent Negroes who have been killed as a direct result of his poisonous tounge have come back to earth and are now harming Ben Tillman and the presence of these ghostly visitors is more than Tillman can bear. Ben R. Tillman will be himself no more. His days of bitter attacks, improvocated denunciation of the Negro are now over—Sad—if it is—yet it is only a question of days until this once occupy a madman's cell, there to spend his last days without reason. This is an awful punishment to be meted out to any man—but in the case of Tillman his punishment—although horrible—is not fully commensurate with the abominable crime which he has with out cause committed. This is the first time in the history of this country that a Senator totally incapable or fast approching that Stage has been permitted to hold a seat in the Upper house. Effect Of Root's Speech. John E. Bruce of Yonkers N.Y., the well known newspaper correspondent, author and politician, expresses his opinion of Senator Elihu Root's recent speech in the United States senate against the election of senators by popular vote of the people in the following langeage: "Future of the Negro is beginning to look brighter. I regard Root's warning to the south to quit its foolishness and give the Negro a fair show as a call to arms of the good hearts in this nation to take the field and fight for the preservation of the law and the constitution. "The Republicans cannot come into power again except on the Negre question. Carter and Root and Depew have already in their speeches foreshadowed what the plan of campaign will be in 1912." He Usually Gets It. When the average gentleman of color cannot find anyond else to rap—he satisfies his rapping proclivitids by rapping on the poor Negro newspaper man—if there chances to be one in his community. The Negro newspaper man are a great benefit to any community—not with standing each of them are more unjustly abused than any other class of enterprises in this or any other race. Negoes Can Enter. Ithaca N. Y.—President Jacob G. Schurman of Cornell university, brought to an and the controversy which has been in progress for a few weeks over addmitting negro women students to Sage college dormitory. In a statement issued to Mrs. G. S. Martin of the women's advisory council he says all negro women student are to be addmitted to the privileges of the women's dormitories if they request admission. Embarrassing Position Race feeling which developed among the southern delegates to the Salvation Army conference held in Washington the lastweek in Feburary resulted in the abandonment for the time being of the army's plans for the organization of a movement among the people of the United States. SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1911. A storm of protest went up from the officers from the south when a northern delegates proposed that white officers be required to conduct meetings among the colored people. They virtually declared they would not assume such duties, with the result that the committee appointed at the same meeting to draft a plan for the new work was discharged before it had time to commence work. Commander Evangeline Booth head of the American Salvation Army, srid before leaving for New York that if necessary a Salvation Army with colored leaders to conducts the meetings will be organized. "We thought it better to drop the matter temporarily," said Miss Booth "owning to the feeling among our southern officers. "They have worked amid a vast colored population for years and I presume they know more about the colored people than the rest of us. I have no criticism to make against them. Our plans were never matured. I think the matter was never formally discussed among us before. "There are practically no colored people engaged in Salvation Army work in this county. In India we have native officers in command, and I suppose it would be just as well, if not better to have colored officers here I am confident we shall accomplish a great deal for the general welfare."

Edwards, pastor of St. Paul A M E church introduced the passing of the basket in making public collections instead of having the people come up to the tables in front. This is a change in the right direction and the congregation ssmed to have been very favorably imprensed with the plan. The idea of people marching to the table in front to make their offerings is being dropped by most of the churchs and passing the basket is taking its place This is a step forward and Rev. Edwards should be encouraged in this change. On a whole Mariam Tabernacle No. 20 is progressing nicely. The death angel has visited us and taken from us one of our most faithful members, Dtr.

Main St. National Negro The Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, did wisely in re-electing Prrf. Charles H. Moore as national organizer of that body. He has made a phenomenal record in the past two years, and under his virile supervision Local Leagues have been organized in all the important centers of Negro population in the land. The attendance each year is growing larger, and for much of this healthful growth, the National League is inbebted to Prof. Moore. His notes in the various papers, showing signs of commercial progress among our people are not only adding to our fund of information, but are having a stimulating effect upon everyline of industry in which the race is engaged. The League is fortunate in being able to retain Prof. Moore's valuable services. —TheFlorida Sentinel Jas. H. Hudspeth after an absence of about nine years from Wichita has returned and will make this city his home again. A Monster Loaf. Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Dulsburg, in Westphalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited and afterwards and distributed among the young, present, a bread twist which for size at least has surely rarely been equaled. Weighing no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls. The government is going to lay molasses road in Massachusetts. That is it will prepare a binder for maidam roads the basis of which will be the resilie of sugar-cane manufacture a by-product for which there is at present no known use. But isn't there some danger that the small boys and girls will carry off the road for all-day suckers or some other terrible thing? FOR PUBLIC CONTROL VAIL FOR REGULATION AS WELL AS PUBLICITY. SAYS BOTH HERE TO STAY Frank Recognition of Public Rights by the President of Western Union and Telephone Public regulation of public service corporations has come to stay. It ought to have come and it ought to stay. That is the flat and unequivocal assertion of Theodore N. Vail, president of both the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Western Union Telegraph company. It came in the form of his annual report to the seventy thousand stockholders of the two great corporations. Although Mr. Vall's advocacy of full publicity in connection with the affairs of such concerns was well understood, nobody in financial circles had anticipated so frank an avowal of full public rights in the shaping of their general conduct. It came consequently as a surprise, not only because of its novelty and squareness, but also on account of the unqualified acquiescence of a board of directors comprising such eminent and conservative financiers as Robert Winson of Kidder, Peabody & Co., and Henry L. Higginson of Boston, Henry P. Davil son of J. P. Morgan & Co.; Senator W. Murray Crane, George F. Baer, T. Jefferson Coolidge Jr., Norman W. Harris, John I. Waterbury and others President Vall's declaration is heralded as the first recognition by those in high corporate authority of the justice of the demand that the public be regarded as virtual partners in all matters that pertain to the common welfare. He goes directly to the point. "Public control or regulation of public service corporations by permanent commissions," he says, "has come and come to stay. Control, or regulation, to be effective means publicity; it means semi-public discussion and consideration before action; it means everything which is the opposite of and inconsistent with effective competition. Competition—aggressive, effective competition—means strife, industrial warfare; it means contention; it oftentimes means taking advantage of or resorting to any means that the conscience of the contestants or the degree of the enforcement of the laws will permit. "Aggressive competition means duplication of plant and investment. The ultimate object of such competition is the possession of the field wholly or partially; therefore it means either ultimate combination on such basis and with such prices as will cover past losses, or it means loss of return on investment, and eventual loss of capital. However it results, all costs of aggressive, uncontrolled competition are eventually borne, directly or indirectly, by the public. Competition which is not aggressive, presupposes co-operative action, understandings, agreements, which result in general uniformity or harmony of action, which, in fact, is not competition but is combination, unstable, but for the time effective. When thoroughly understood it will be found that "control" will give more of the benefits and public advantages, which are expected to be obtained through such ownership, and will obtain them without the public burden of either the public officeholder or public debt or operating deficit. "When through a wise and judicious state control and regulation all the advantages without any of the disadvantages of state ownership are secured, state ownership is doomed." "If Mr. Vall is right," says Harper's Weekly, in a concise summing-up, "then it seems pretty plain that we are entered upon a new era in both economics and politics. And it is high time we did if evolution is to supplant revolution as an efficient force in the development of civilization." Unreliable Physiognomy. I am a profound disbeliever in physiognomy. Features are false witnesses. Stupidity frequently wears a mask of intelligence. I know business men who look like poets and poets who look like business men. Men of genius invariably look like idiots, and if you pick out the man who looks most eminent in a party you are sure to find he is a nobody. I always distrust men who look magnificent. Nature is a stingy creature. She seldom gives a man the double gift of being great and looking great. She took care to lame Byron and deform Pope and disfigure Johnson. But the crowning example of her jealous parsimony is Shakespeare. I have always been disappointed with Shakespeare's face. It does not live up to his poetry. It is dull, heavy and commonplace.—Adventures in London. Vegetable Fancy Work. Little Mrs. Bride had almost everything to learn about housekeeping, but she was so enthusiastic in her interest that every one was glad to help her. "I have some particularly fine asparagus," the marketman told her one day, and he displayed a bunch for her admiration. "Picked not three hours ago," he added. Mrs. Bride looked at it with unaffected amazement. "Does it grow like that?" she asked. "I always supposed the cook braided the ends of it."-Youth's Companion. TOM L. JOHNSON IS DEAD Was Four Times Mayor of Cleveland and Made a Great Fight for Three-Cent Fares. Cleveland, Ohio.—Tom L. Johnson, four times mayor of Cleveland and former congressman from this district is dead. He was in his 57th year. Mr. Johnson lay in the borderland between life and death for 24 hours before death won him. The coma which preceded death was the sign that cirrhosis of the liver and Bright's disease had run their course. That Mr. Johnson sacrificed his life for his principles is certain. He had been alling from cirrhosis of the liver for years and was told by the physicians that he must quit active work for awhile and take treatment but he was in the midst of his fight for three-cent fares and refused to stop. Finally, beaten in his fifth fight for mayor, he yielded to illness and went to New York for treatment. But it was too late. Cleveland people ride on their street cars for three cents, but they have lost the man who did more for the common people than any other citizen. TAFT SAID STORY WAS FALSE The Report From Mexico City of a Japanese Agreement Denied by the President. Washington, D. C.—President Taft moved swiftly to squelch the latest Japanese war scare story, first printed in the New York Sun. Incidentally a member of the Senate committee on foreign relations revealed some of the reasons which the president had given that committee and the house committee on foreign affairs for the mobilization of troops on the Texas border. Through Senator Burton of Ohio the president made an emphatic denial of the report from the City of Mexico that a proposed treaty between Japan and Mexico caused the movement of troops to Texas. GREAT GAS FIND AT MEMPHIS When the Drill Penetrated the Sand it Hurled Derrick and Drills High in the Air. Memphis, Tennessee.—One man is dying and a score are injured as a result of the finding of a marvelously rich natural gas field on Hen and Chicken island. When the well was struck, the gas exploded, hurling the derrick and drills high in the air and injuring a score of workmen. Within an hour after the discovery of the gas, a $500,000 corporation to pipe it to the manufacturing district, was under way. P. A. Blackburn, a gas expert from Pennsylvania, declared that the city was situated over an immense gas field, perhaps the greatest in the world. PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAILED The Maderos Have Returned From El Paso Determined to Force Diaz From Power. San Antonio, Texas.—"No peace in Mexico as long as Dias reigns"—that is now the slogan of the rebels, Francisco Madero, father of the rebel leader and Gustav his brother, returned from El Paso where they went to conduct negotiations looking to peace. They admit efforts resulted in failure. Dadero is determined to force diaz from the head of the Mexican government, or die in the field at the head of his men. The older Madero said the men in the field were equally determined and that from now on it is a war of extermination. Sphynx Mystery Cleared Up. Boston, Mass.—The mystery of the great sphynx which has puzzled scholars for ages has been solved at last by a Harvard man, Prof George A. Reisner.

Canton China Besieged London, Eng.—A special dispatch to the Daily Express from Hong Kong says that a serious rising is reported to have occurred at Canton.

Iowa Deadlock Still Holds. Des Moines, Iowa.—The sixty-fifth joint ballot, the third taken during the day, failed to put even a perceptible dent in the senatorial deadlock which has existed in the Iowa legislature for many long weeks. PROSPECTIN' MILKIE MILKIE MECROCOPPY DEMOCRACY EXTRA SESSION DISGINGS Indianapolis News NEW TRIAL GRANTED DR. HYDE THE MISSOURI SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN DECISION. It Holds That Serious and Fatal Errors Were Made in First Trial of Famous Case. Reasons for Reversal Reasons for Reverential Revoking him beheaded and sending him to jail in the middle of the trial. Accepting testimony of one state expert, Doctor Vaughan, as to finding poison when each were open to question as to the cause of his death. Colonel Swowe's infirm condition, which is taken as reason to believe he died of senile debility. Reasoning that testimony of other deaths and sickness in the Swowe family when the charge was the murder of Colonel Swowe. Reasoning that Hydre took typhoid gerns to the Swopes when there was more reason to believe the epidemic started from a servant's sickness. Allowing the State to ask hypothetical question that called for conclusions by the witness. Admitting testimony of a nurse that she had medicine in her shirtwaiter to keep Hyde from being pulled and thus arousing suspicion against Hyde. Judge Latshew's remark: "This is as far as any honest girl should go in testimony, when he stopped Margaret Swope's testimony. The test of cyanide identification by rubbing it on a man's fingers and allowing the witness to smell of it. Kansas City, Missouri—Just one year ago the trial began in which Dr. B. Clarke Hyde was convicted of poisoning Thomas H. Swepe, the independence millionaire. Now the Missouri supreme court has handed down its opinion reversing the verdict of the jury and remanding the physician's case for a new trial. The court's decision was unanimous, sustaining practically all the important contentions made by the attorneys for Doctor Hyde. The opinion, written by Judge Franklin Ferriss of St. Louis and concurred in by the other judges, throws out of court as "unworthy of comment" much of the testimony upon which the physician was convicted. Of so sweeping a nature are many of the comments of the high court that unbiased attorneys said that a second conviction of Doctor Hyde practically would be an impossibility. The action of Judge Latshaw in revoking Doctor Hyde's bond during trial and sending him to jail was highly prejudicial, says the opinion, and is pointed out as sufficient grounds on which to base a reversal of the verdict. But the opinion does not stop there. THE 24 HOUR RECORD BROKEN A Fiat Car Was Driven 1,491 Miles in 24 Hours at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California.—The first 24-hour race ever held on a speedway was brought to a successful end when the Flat car, with Valentine Rush at the wheel had covered 1,491 miles, breaking the former world's 24-hour record of 1,253 miles by 238 miles.

Every leading progressive, or "insurgent" was given an important committee. FAMINE THREATENS MEXICO Agua Prieta, Mexico—Conditions are rapidly shaping themselves in the states of Chihuahua and Senora for a crisis more serious than the loss of life in battle. Americans in these two states declare that unless the rebellion is ended all northern Mexico will experience a disastrous famine. Because of the spirit of unrest and general discontent prevailing last autumn the planting of wheat was neglected and even if the crop can be harvested, which is improbable, it will be small. The ground has not been prepared for the corn crop, the mainstay of the people of northern Mexico. Supplies on hand to tide the population over the summer and into the fall are almost exhausted, for not only has there been no producing population, but the country has been overrun by rebel bands who have consumed the stores laid by. WANTS OF PEOPLE MUST BE MET Dr. Gomez Said if Terms of Peace Were Not Satisfactory Another Revolution Would Occur. Washington, D. C.—The Mexican revolution is a national uprising and not an individual affair, in the opinion of Dr. Vazquez Gomez, head of the confidential agency of the revolutionists here, and, therefore, he believes Francisco I. Madero will not make peace except on terms that will satisfy the revolutionary party. Dr. Gomez, in a statement pointed out that another revolution would be forthcoming if the demands of his party are not satisfied. "Gen. Francisco I. Madero," said Dr. Gomez, "chief of the national insurrection of the Mexican people. Gen. Madero will not make peace except on terms satisfactory to the demands of his supporters, because should this not be so, we soon would have another revolution which the people wish to avoid.

Not an Aspirant for Anything Because He Has Had Everything—Has Had Good Run for His Money. Spokane, Wash—Theodore Roosevelt has had honors enough. He desires nothing more, not even the presidency again, it may readily be inferred from a declaration he made here. "I am not an aspirant for anything because I have had everything," he declared. "No other man alive has had—I don't know whether I ought to use this simile in the presence of the chaplin, but I am going to take chances—no other man alive has had such a good run for his money." Mr. Roosevelt declared that he was making his present tour for no other purpose than that which he has already assigned—to thank the people who had elected him to the presidency. Had he never come to the West, he said, he never would have raised his regiment and never have become president. In conclusion he said: "It is the service done, not the title of the place held that counts. And you wont, any of you, have to puzzle as to my motives if you will accept my statements at their face value. You have not got anything I want except your respect and good will, insofar as you choose to give me your respect and your good will; and all I desire insofar as the chance arises where I am able to do so, to help you in any movement for the good of our common country. That is all I want." RECIPROCITY COMES FIRST Democratic Caucus Decides That it Shall Precede all Other Legislation. Washington, D. C.—The Canadain reciprocity tariff agreement will be the first of all tariff as well as the first of all general legislation to be launched by the house Democrats. This is to be followed by a hodge podge tariff bill providing for the placing on the free list of agricultural implements, including plows, harrows, reapers and mowers; boots and shoes, saddles and saddlery, wire fencing, bailing wire, cotton bagging and ties, cotton sacks, burlaps, flour, meat products, dressed meats, fresh meats, not including game, sewing machines, and rough lumber.

San Antonio, Texas.—Even if the rebels are not defeated by the Mexican army they cannot remain in the field 30 days longer, according to the representative of the Mexican government here. With their ammunition practically exhausted they are now facing starvation, the food supply in the section in which they have been foraging have been almost entirely consumed. Surface Harmony in Congress. Washington, D. C.—It is daily becoming manifest that congress is facing a stormy session and there can be made no forecast of the probable legislative results. The fact that both of the great political parties are divided is no longer denied and the leaders appear to have little hope of restoring anything more than surface harmony. Seamen of World to Strike. New York, N. Y.—Plans announced by a union official indicated that the international strike of seamen, which has been threatened for a long time and which is intended by the unions to impede the commerce of the world until redress of their grievances is had, would actually begin in the week of June when the coronation of King George is being celebrated.

FREE MUNYON'S PAW-PAW PILLS TRADE MARK A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw Pills will be sent free to anyone on request. Address Professor Munyon, 65d & Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are in need of medical advice, do not fail to write Professor Munyon. Your communication will be treated in strict confidence, and your case will be diagnosed as carefully as though you had a personal interview. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unile all other laxatives or cathartics. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods. They do not scour, they do not gripe, they do not weaken, but they do start all the secretions of the liver and stomach in a way that soon puts these organs in a healthy condition and corrects constipation. In my opinion constipation is responsible for most ailments. There are 26 feet of human bowels, which is really a sewer pipe. When this pipe becomes clogged the whole system becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, indigestion and impure blood, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments. No woman who suffers with constipation or any liver ailment can expect to have a clear complexion or enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the sale of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are now being sold for the reason that they soon destroy the lining of the stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and so paralyze the bowels that they refuse to act unless forced by strong purgatives. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken; they enrich the blood instead of impoverish it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment from food that is put into it. These pills contain no calomel, no dope; they are soothing, healing and stimulating. They school the bowels to act without physic. Regular size bottle, containing 45 pills, 25 cents.

NO. 20855, N. 516, N. 516 Federal Street, Flintburg, PA. --- HE United States is the scene of a number of widely varying forms of church observance on Easter morning, ranging all the way from the novel rites in the Moravian churches of Pennsylvania to the fashionable services in the churches on Fifth avenue, New York, attended by the "400" of metropolitan society. There is little doubt, however, that the most impressive and the most picturesque of all Easter hat which takes place on the joyous w at Mount St. Sepulchre. The fact spring holiday the month of September COSTER AT THE MONASTERY AT MOUNT ST. SEPULCHRE that only a very limited number of people have ever witnessed the significant program here carried out and that, indeed, the great majority of the public is unaware even of the unique character of the services at this mecca for worshipers, serves, perhaps, to add interest to the place and the event. Mount St. Sepulchre is located at Brookland in the District of Columbia and is the seat of the most important church and the most famous monastery reared in the New World by the Franciscan brothers. However, it should be emphasized just here that the casual Easter visitor to this retreat at Easter-tide need not be a Catholic nor yet even an adherent of any church to appreciate the solemnity and marvelous beauty of the services which take up the greater portion of this, the most momentous day on the church calendar. The most important architectural feature of the church at Mount St. Sepulchre, and one from which the church and monastery takes its name, is the location in the sanctuary of an exact duplicate of the Holy Sepulchre which has been reproduced exactly as it exists in Jerusalem. This in itself would lend interest to the Easter services held in such a setting, but intensifying the meaning of the religious program for all the spectators is the circumstance that the services are an exact duplicate to the smallest detail of the services which are being held under similar auspices and at the corresponding hour at the last resting place of the Savior in Jerusalem. It is as though the congregation at Brookland were suddenly transported to the Holy Land for an hour or a day. To appreciate the novelty of all that transpire at Easter at Mount St. Sepulchre it is necessary to know something of the history of this institution. The Franciscan brothers have a number of monasteries or houses of the order located in various parts of the United States, but the community in the District of Columbia is in a class by itself in that it is in effect the American "branch office" of the Franciscan friars who are laboring in Palestine. For, of course, the Franciscans are a brotherhood whose work is of world-wide scope and one of the most important branches of this work is found in their function of "keepers of the holy places." For more than seven hundred years the Franciscans have been in possession of almost all of those places in the Holy Land, which are most dear to all adherents of the Christian faith—such places as the spot where Jesus was born in Bethlehem and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem—and this order of monks has made of it a labor of love to restore and preserve these sacredly historic localities. A large share of all the funds with which this work is carried on comes from America and most of the Franciscan们 are now serving actively as "keepers of the holy places" have been educated for their task in the United States—at this self-same institution at Mount St. Sepulchre. Officially this community is designated the Chapel and College of the Holy Land and the thirty monks who make up the community are known as the Fathers of the Holy Land. Not only is this a college for the education of the young members of the order who are to go as guides and missionaries to the Holy Land, but it is also the headquarters and business office of the Commissariat of the Holy Land. This latter is a legally organized organization which is authorized by law to receive bequests and donations of all kinds made for the purpose of commemorative and restorative work at the holy places in Palestine. A country-wide organization of laymen known as the "Crusade for the Holy Land" is ever active in the cause and the funds raised by the "Crusaders" or by means of the collection taken once a year in all Catholic churches are sent to Mount St. Sepulchre for transmission to Palestine. with such an inspiration it is, of course, THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH not at all strange that the Franciscans at Mount St. Sepulchre are enabled to present particularly impressive services at Easter. Moreover a number of the members of the community have resided for years at a time in the Holy Land and are familiar from long participation with every deal of the Easter services as conducted at the tomb of our Lord in Jerusalem. This is the case with the present superior of the community, Rev. Father Bede Oldgeerdge, who is the celebrant of the solemn high mass which is the principal feature of the Easter program. the visitor reaches place where the Sceiling depend mem tail of the tomb in even to the famous representing the Repulche, as already vary, the altar bein Jerusalem. While naturally the climax Easter, services of in the church through this the most signi It is doubtful if any church in America is embellished with a more lavish floral decoration than that in the Chapel of the Holy Land on Easter morning and equally notable is the special music by the choir of male voices made up of members of the community with one of the brothers acting as organist. The chapel at Mount St. Sepulchre, and which is all too small to accommodate the throngs that come hither on Easter, is in the shape of a five-fold cross, the large cross forming the main body of the church and the small crosses being represented by chapels. This cross, symbolic of the five wounds of our Lord, appears again and again at Mount St. Sepulchre and a representation of it in Venetian mosaic forms the pavement of the church. The central aisle of the large cross has, at the entrance of the church, a portico which supports a gallery, while at the other end is the sanctuary. The whole interior with its rows upon rows of columns and arches and its significant white and yellow decoration, is stately and majestic in the highest degree and affords the best possible background for the Easter decorations. The whole arrangement of the interior conduces to focus attention upon the sanctuary which is the main point of attraction in the church and especially so on Easter when it becomes the locale of much that transpires. The architect who directed the erection of the duplicate of the Holy Sepulchre spent much time in Jerusalem studying the original and he has produced a marvelously faithful and accurate replica. Two marble stairways, one on either side of the Sepulchre, lead to Mount Calvary, which forms the high altar of Easter Betrothals in Hungary the church. A low door, set between two ornamental panels leads to the outer room of the tomb. In the middle of this, supported by a low pedestal, there is a stone called the Stone of the Angel, the original of which, tradition avers, is a fragment of the very stone on which the Messenger of Heaven rested when he gave the glad tidings on that memorable Easter morn. Naturally this is an object of the most intense interest to the Easter throng. ST. SEPULCHRE Through a second door in this fac-simile Sepulchre — an opening even lower in height than that above mentioned — the visitor reaches the representation of the place where the Savior was laid. From the ceiling depend memorial lamps and every detail of the tomb in Jerusalem is reproduced, even to the famous silver panel by Raphael representing the Resurrection. Above the Sepulchre, as already explained, is Mount Calvary, the altar being a replica of the one at Jerusalem. While the Sepulchre itself is naturally the climatic point of interest on Easter, services of special character are held in the church throughout the week preceding this, the most significant Sunday of the year. Of the throngs of Easter visitors to Mount St. Sepulchre, no women and very few men are admitted to the "enclosure" of the monastery—for this institution, being designed as a college as well as a chapel, is built on the old monastic plan with a courtyard laid out During the first centuries of the Christian church, Easter was celebrated on the same day of the Jewish Passover, because Christ rose from the dead on that day. In the early days of the church Easter was the favorite time for performing miracle plays; priests became actors, and the churches, theaters for the time being. One of the most popular of the mystery plays is based upon the cowardice of Pilate in condemning Jesus. "Three days after the death of Christ," runs the old legend, "the plious women of Jerusalem came in a crowd to the palace of the great ruler and hurled bitter reproaches at him for his cowardice. Pilate retired to the innermost part of the palace to escape their reproaches. Still the voices of the women reached him, crying, 'Coward!' At last Pilate became so infuriated at their cries that he ordered the pretorians to drive them out by throwing water on them. This seemed effective, for the mob dispersed and quiet was restored. But to the horror and consternation of Pilate, as he passed from his palace and entered the streets of Jerusalem, the cry of 'Coward' filled the as a garden—the traditional cloister in the form of an open gallery measuring 200 feet on each of its four sides, which serves the friars for their walks on rainy days when it is inconvenient to take exercise in the open. However, visitors, though denied a peep at this sheltered retreat, are admitted to the wonderful shrines and subterranean chambers beneath the chapel and which are in large measure responsible for the rapidly growing fame of this institution. Reached by flights of stone steps from the main chapel are two underground chapels, one being a representation of the Grotto of Nazareth and the other the Grotto of Bethlehem where Jesus was born. The two grottoes are connected by means of an underground passage which duplicates in appearance the Catacombs of Rome and this passage has at its central point a crypt in reproduction of the ancient sepulchral chambers where an altar was erected over the tomb of some famous martyr. From this crypt another underground corridor leads to the subterranean Chapel of Poor Souls which is intended for funeral services. In these underground shrines burn votive lamps that are never extinguished, day or night, from one end CATHEDRAL OF THE SACRED HEART REPRODUCTION OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE IN THE CHAPEL AT MOUNT ST. SEPULCHRE Arch. A of the year to the other. These underground or, set shrines, representative of the spot where two or two or more Jesus first opened His eyes upon the world and the humble home of the Holy Family in to the room of Nazareth, are both, as in the case of the Holy Sepulchre, exact reproductions of the originals in the far-off Holy Land. Indeed, so little of faithful is the duplication even in little things that we see in its proper place the stone bench upon the counterpart of which in the pedes- ce is a Holy Land sit the Turkish sentinels who called the guard over the spots so hallowed by of the Christians. TWO JUDGES IN COURT. "A man has been passing judgment on women for centuries. It is high time that a woman be permitted to judge men. And I am perfectly sure that a handsome man could not get away with it at a woman's tribunal, as handsome women are doing every day in courts presided over by men." That's what Miss Mary Coleman, lawyer and suffragette, remarked when I called on her with the new proposal, backed by a number of women's clubs, that all the officers of the women's rights court, from the magistrate down, be women. "I don't think an all woman's court would be a good thing. "I don't think an all man's court is any better. "The ideal court will exist only when justice has gone into partnership. In this court there will be two judges—one a man and one a woman. Each will learn from the other. And they will sit jointly and pass judgment on both men and women." "I have heard two criticisms of women as judges, especially of their own sex," I remarked. 'One person says they would be too sentimental. Another writes essays on woman's inhumanity to women.'" "Well, we can't be both things," Miss Coleman replied, briefly. "As a matter of fact, I don't think we're either. I believe that the best justice prevails when head and heart works together, and I think this excellent combination is more often in women than in men. "Either a man is absolutely inflexible and cold-blooded, or he is wishy-washily emotional. A judge and jury of men rarely fail to be influenced by a handsome, attractive woman. But I am equally positive that fascinating men criminals could wield no such influence over women on the bench." othals in Hungary Christian the same Christ the early favorite be- ests be- ers for loular of wardice air as if from a thousand tongues. "Nature herself takes up the curse, and a sudden shower breaks, in which every drop of rain calls the wretched man 'Coward!' The ocean, the sea and the rivers take part in the great demonstration, and the word coward wrung from the heart of nature herself ceases not to ring in Pilate's ear until death frees him from the curse." t," runs rusalem the great him for the most coaches. died him, we so in- the pre- g water the mob to the as he streets led the From the legend springs a curious custom practiced in Hungary on Easter Monday. At dawn the men of the village wait for the maid- ens of their choice to appear; as each sees the malden of his heart he runs after her, and drags her, shrieking and protesting, to the nearest fountain or well, where he proceeds to drench her liberally with water. Thoroughly drenched, the malden is supposed to pay for the courtesy with a kiss. Often she breaks away from her tormentor, and there is a hot and merry chase until she is captured. Of course, she is soon caught and is usually a willing victim, for this is one of the Magyar betrothal customs, and an early marriage follows the rite. NATURALLY.

REASONED IT OUT A man does not count as wasted the time he spends in thinking over his business, but he seems loth to give the same sort of careful attention to himself and to his health. And yet his business would be worth little without good health to care for it. A business man tells how he did himself good by carefully thinking over his physical condition, investigating to find out what was needed, and then changing to the right food. "For some years I had been bothered a great deal after meals. My food seemed to lay like lead in my stomach, producing heaviness and dullness and sometimes positive pain. Of course this rendered me more or less unfit for business, and I made up my mind that something would have to be done. "Reflection led me to the conclusion that over-eating, filling the stomach with indigestible food, was responsible for many of the ills that human flesh endures, and that I was punishing myself in that way—that was what was making me so dull, heavy and uncomfortable, and unfit for business after meals. I concluded to try Grape-Nuts food to see what it could do for me. "I have been using it for some months now, and am glad to say that I do not suffer any longer after meals; my food seems to assimilate easily and perfectly, and to do the work for which it was intended. "I have regained my normal weight, and find that business is a pleasure once more—can take more interest in it, and my mind is clearer and more alert." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The fishing schooner Laura B. had come into port with her catch, and she had hardly been made fast to the wharf before the cottages a mile away were talking in whispers about an incident that had happened while she was still far at sea. The feeling of loyalty among the men that face the tempests and hardships of the fishing grounds is very strong. They have their differences and quarrels while at sea, but all is forgiven when land is sighted again. No landsman knows that all was not harmony. there'll be no light tonight, and God help the vessels driving in!" "But I tell you I'm going to try it, and I'll have medicines for you if I can get there. Brace up and try to weather it out." Back to the shore and among the crew of the Laura B. Some of the nodded in a distant way, but none had a word. "I'm going to try it in a dory—will you go along?" asked the man under the ban. "No! No! No! Why, man, you are stark crazy! That sea and this A fisherman will forgive a taunt, a curse, a blow—more than that—but there is one thing he cannot forgive, and that is cowardice in the face of danger. No schooner captain asks a man if he is brave, when selecting a crew. The inference is that every man who would go down to the tempest-tossed sea is ready to imperil his life at demand and think little of it. Cowardice can be overlooked in a landsman, but not in a fisherman. The landsman cowardice may have no results. That of a fisherman may make a dozen widows and three-score orphans. The Laura B. came home in a fierce gale and a terrible sea. The fishermen do not select their own weather. While taking his trick at the wheel young George Shaw looked behind him and saw a mountainous wave racing down on the vessel. That sight has frightened many a helmsman. There is peril, but the howling gale and ravening sea magnifies it ten times over. The man had seen the same thing often enough and held fast, but this time he flinched. Fishermen do not want explanations the eye cannot see. With a shout of terror Shaw left the wheel. In sixty seconds the schooner would have been a wreck had not the mate been at hand to jump to the abandoned wheel and hold on for the life of all, even when the waters closed over his head and his sou-wester floated away amid the foam. It was touch and go, but the staunch craft won the fight. Was there a storm of curses for Shaw? Not a curse. Repofofs from captain and shipmates? Not a word. Did the man seek to explain what he realized would be looked upon as a cowardly act? He did not utter a syllable. He knew that any word he could utter would be thrown away. He had been marked down for a coward. That settled it. In ten minutes he felt an outlaw. His shipmates spoke to him, but there was a drawing away. They did not look into his face when they spoke. Among themselves they said they would keep the secret, and—was it the gulls that carried it from house to house when port was reached? High up on the hill was the cottage of the Widow Larkins. Her husband and his schooner had been lost in just such a gale when homecoming, perhaps from some act of cowardice. Jennie Larkins, her handsome daughter, could row or sail a boat, and as a fisherman's daughter she had a contempt for a man who filinched when gale and sea demanded wrecks and lives. It was known that George Shaw was her accepted lover. Would she excuse and forgive, asked those who whispered. Would the lover call at the house and explain? No! She didn't look for him, and had he come she would have been greatly surprised. He didn't think of calling. On landing he took the trolley car for his home, six miles away. The incident was related to his parents in a plain, straight way. They had the sympathy of the bond, but they shook their heads and sighed. A month passed, and then there came the great gale that will be remembered by children when they have grown to be men and women. It came out of the east like howling flends. It uprooted great trees and unroofed buildings. It caught up great patches of foam from the raging sea and carried them inland for a mile. Oh, the greed of that gale! Thirty-five schooners and their crews were a part of the sacrifice. After the gale had raged for forty-eight hours and was still howling, George Shaw went down to the port. Almost the first thing he heard was that one of the lightkeepers on Tompkins Point was in the town, unable to return, and that the other was ill and telephoning for help. The man was known to Shaw, and over the line of wire which might be broken any minute a voice in the lighthouse said to the men safe on land: "George, I may have been poisoned by the canned tomatoes. I'm in terrible pain and have a raging fever. I don't believe I shall live two hours longer. Get help to me!" Shaw went down to the shore among the fishermen. "Only a dory can land there, and what dory ever built can face that sea! There's a hundred of us would go if there was any chance." Shaw walked back to the telephone and said to the man in the lighthouse: "Jim, I'm going to make a try for it. There's one chance in a thousand, and I'm going to take it." "Don't, George," was the reply. "There's nothing can live in such a gale and sea. Only—only, George. there'll be no light tonight, and God help the vessels driving in!" "But I tell you I'm going to try it, and I'll have medicines for you if I can get there. Brace up and try to weather it out." Back to the shore and among the crew of the Laura B. Some of the nodded in a distant way, but none had a word. "I'm going to try it in a dory—will you go along?" asked the man under the ban. "No! No! No! Why, man, you are stark crazy! That sea and this wind would beat the biggest man-of-war in the navy!" To the mate whose quick action had saved the schooner Shaw said: "I finched at sea when that big wave came roaring down astern. Are these waves larger?" "But I'm going to try them, and in a dory at that. Will you go along and pull an oar?" "I will not!" Shaw went to the doctor and the drug store for a remedy for the man at the lighthouse, and then to the telephone to say: "Jim, old man, I'm coming!" "You'll never make it! I'm growing worse all the time, and the light—the light tonight! It won't—won't—" And then the line went dead, and it seemed as if there was a note of satisfaction in the gale. When the crowd on the shore saw a dory made ready and understood that Shaw was to venture where no other man dared to, a great shout of protest went up, and men laid detaining hands on him. "I left the wheel of the Laura B., you know!" he said in taunting voice. "I want company on this trip. Who will go?" "I will!" answered a voice after a moment's silence. Jennie Larkins came pushing her way through the press. Then men swore and shouted and women wept and exclaimed. The girl walked straight up to Shaw and laid a hand"on his arm and said: "If we can't make it we'll go down together!" The November afternoon was waning. In an hour the great lantern must be lit or there would be wrecks on the shore. Twice—thrice the dory was beaten back. Then she got away to be lost almost at once in the driving spray. When a sea lifted her up she seemed to be forty feet in the air. It was of no use to go to the telephone for news. The crowds must wait. They waited with the dusk coming on—with the gale tearing away at roofs and trees—with the crews of ships at sea daring and praying, and men and women stood elbow to elbow and did not speak. Thus it was until the lamps began to shine in the cottages on the hillsides, and then a mighty shout went up. The lantern in the tower of the lighthouse was shining over twenty miles of troubled sea. The landing had been made—a man's life had been saved, and the man who, had once lost his nerve had redeemed himself in the eyes of all men, and of the girl who was to be his bride. Shonlifter In Harem Skirt. Mile. Louise Chauvel, who dwells in the Avenue du Maine, must have been ill advised regarding the harem skirt before she entered a large store department on Tuesday. She evidently forgot that the detectives there, like everybody else, could not but watch her neat and easy steps. They did so to some purpose, for the various articles she slipped into the capacious "bags" she was wearing betrayed her by their bulging. Mile. Louise slept last night at the depot as the consequence, for when arrested her "pockets" were found to contain 37 objects which she is alleged to have obtained without payment—Paris Journal. The Retort Courteous. George Grossmith had had remarkable success with his readings in America, and on his return to England somewhat boastfully compared the art of entertaining with that of acting. "You fellows," he said to Charles Brookfield, "have to take out scenery, properties, plays, and a large company when you want to perform; while I—look at me. I just landed in New York with my plano and a dress sult, and I made £30,000." "I dare say," snapped Brookfield. "But we don't all look so damn funny in our dress suits." Splandld Proof. At the Decies-Gould wedding reception an example of the somewhat caustic wit of the world's greatest woman philanthropist, Miss Helen Gould, was quoted. Miss Gould, discussing a certain spendthrift bachelor, remarked: "You are quite wrong in saying that he has no idea of the value of money. He proposed to one of my nieces twice." Our Varying Moons. "Yes, environment does influence us." "How now?" "You never see a man coming out of church with his hat perched on the side of his head." The KITCHEN CABINET OMES' not merely four square walls Though with pictures hung and gilded. Home is where affection calls. Home's a shrine that is built." Skim Milk Many people have an idea that skimmed milk is only fit for the chickens or pigs, when even after the average milk is skimmed it still contains nearly ten per cent. of solids or nutritive ingredients. Taken by itself, skim milk is rather thin, and one has to drink a large quantity to get the necessary nourishment. A pound of round steak contains 0.18 pound of protein and has a fuel value of 870 calories. Five pounds of milk, or two and a half quarts, will furnish nearly the same amount of protein, and has the same amount of fuel value as a pound of round steak. A lunch of bread and skim milk is very nutritious. The cooking of milk makes the proteids somewhat more difficult of digestion for most persons, but there are exceptions. There are some who cannot take fresh milk with comfort, but with whom boiled milk agrees very well. When milk is taken into the stomach it is curdled at once by the action of the pepsin and the gastric juice. When milk is drunk as a beverage in large quantities the casein gathers in large lumps, which cause indigestion in some. Milk ranks among the most digestible of the animal foods in respect to all its ingredients. Many delicious puddings, like suet and bread and custards of all kinds, may be made of skim milk. Bread is made more nourishing by the addition of milk instead of using all water. Indian Pudding. Take two quarts of milk (skim milk will be as good as the whole milk), scald one quart and stir in a cup of cornmeal, a cup of suet, stir until the meal is well scalded, then add a cup of raisins, one and a fourth cupfuls of brown sugar, two well beaten eggs. Bake three hours, stirring occasionally the first hour. Sprinkle a little flour over the top the last half of the baking, which makes a nice brown crust with the suet which stays at the top. This pudding is served hot and will warm up as good the last day as it was at the first. ND see how everywhere Love comforts strengthens A Few Unusual Recipes. Here are some recipes that the cooks will like to try: Norwegian Potato Sausage. Put nine peeled potatoes through a meat chopper with one and a half pounds of round beef and one small onion; season with salt and pepper. Fill large sausage casings with the mixture, tie securely and keep in a heavy brine until needed. When wanted to serve, boil an hour, and serve sliced on a platter well garnished. When a little ham is left over from dinner, chop it and use it in an omelet for another meal. This will prove sufficiently nutritive and will save the meat bill. German Rice Cook a cup of rice in boiling water to cover, stirring occasionally with a fork to keep from scorching. Add a teaspoonful of each salt and butter, and when nearly done add a cup of milk. Serve with browned butter, sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Peanut Soup. Put a pint of freshly-roasted peanuts through a meat chopper several times. Heat one pint of milk with a pint of water; thicken with a tablespoonful each of flour and butter cooked together. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peanuts and cook ten minutes. Rice Muffins. Take a cupful of boiled rice, one cup of sweet milk, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one teaspoonful of sugar and two teaspoons of baking powder sifted with two cups of flour, and a teaspoonful of salt. Bake half an hour. When making custard pie, add a few diced slices of well sugared pineapple to the custard. Date and Nut Salad. Prepare lettuce and serve with dates cut in strips and sprinkled with walnuts. Served with French dressing. Meltei butter may be used in the place of olive oil. OME souls there are like the cactus blossom, surrounded by a prickling mass of ugility, themselves a marvel of sweetness. More About Fish. Fish should be perfectly fresh, although it may be kept well if frozen and cooked as soon as it is thawed. Another thing to be remembered in serving fish is to have it thoroughly cooked, or it will be Indigestible. Very serious poisoning has resulted from fish that has begun to decompose. All varieties of fish need an accompaniment of starchy food to make a well balanced meal. As the juices of fish have a tendency to alkalinity, the use of acids, lemon and vinegar, is desirable to neutralize the food. The flesh of fresh fish is firm and hard and will rise when pressed with the fingers. See that the eyes are bright and stand out well in the head and the gills bright. When fish lose their firmness they are not considered good food. Frozen fish should be thawed in cold water. Salt fish should be soaked skin side up, to draw out the salt. When scaling fish that are difficult, dip them quickly into boiling water an instant and the scales will come off much better. If fish must be kept, wrap it in a cloth wrung out of cold water and well sprinkled with salt. Keep in a cool place, away from butter and milk. To Bone a Fish.—Clean and strip off the skin, lay on a board, begin at the tail. Run a knife under the flesh close to the bone, and scrape away clean from the bone, holding the fish carefully, not to break the flakes. When the flesh is removed on one side, slip the knife under the bone and remove it. Then pull out all the small bones left. Only fish with large bones should be used for boning. Fillets of fish are the flesh separated from the bone. When boiling fish, tie up in a piece of white cloth, then it may be served without breaking, if handled carefully. Fish that are lacking in fat, like cod or bass, should have fat supplied in the cooking or serving. EISURE misused, an idle hour waiting to be served. ESURE misused, an idle hour waiting to be employed, idle hands with nothing to think of, and empty minds with nothing to think of. Under the main temptations to evil. Fill up that empty void, employ those vacant hours, occupy those listless hands, and will depart because it has no place to enter in, because it is too good. — Dean Stanley. Ways of Serving Meats An economical dish which is both appetizing and may be made attractive, is mutton with peas. Buy a cheap cut of mutton and stew it in simmering water until tender, or nearly so, then add a cupful of peas and serve the stew garnished with peas. Mutton Stew for Two. Take two mutton chops cut from near the shoulder. Put them in a shallow pan having a tight cover. Pour over boiling water and simmer, adding water as it boils away, using just enough to keep the meat from burning. Add two slices of turnip, two small onions and a half an hour before serving two common-sized potatoes. Add salt and pepper, remove the meat and vegetables and thicken the gravy with flour. Season with catsup and serve. Sheep's Tongue, Braised. Wash the tongues, dredge with flour and salt and brown in salt pork fat with two onions chopped fine. Cover with stock or water, add a sprig of parsley and cook until tender. Remove the skin, and trim neatly at the roots. Place on a mound of spinach in the center of a dish and arrange the tongues around the spinach. Cold Boiled Ham. Melt half a glass of currant jelly, add a teaspoonful of butter, a little pepper, and when hot add several thin slices of boiled ham. Serve when hot. Brains, Spanish Style. Skin and wash the brains and boil 20 minutes in salted water. Have ready four boiled potatoes cut into dice. Put in a frying pan two tablespoonfuls of butter; when it is hot add a small finely-minced onion, a teaspoonful of minced red pepper and garlic and four tomatoes sliced thin. Season with salt and pepper and stir until well cooked. Add the potatoes and brains and season. When nice sweet cider is obtainable try cooking a slice of ham until brown on both sides, then add a half cup of cider and simmer, using the cider as a sauce when it is served. Good Word for the Departed. Here is the kind of an obituary a Georgia editor put up for a man: "Poor Jim Jones slung his earthly garments on a limb and swam the river yesterday. He did not stand back because the water was cold, but plunged right in and struck out for the other shore and met the angels smiling. Jim was a poor man, but had his subscription to his home paper paid up and got there in good shape. Peace to his memory." "Do you think the boy will say what he sees put in the sausages?" "No, he's only thankful he isn't pu' into them himself." Spring Debility Felt by so many upon the return of warm weather is due to the impure, impoverished, devitalized condition of the blood which causes that tired feeling and loss of appetite as well as the pimples, boils and other eruptions so common at this season. It is cured by the great constitutional remedy Hood's Sarsaparilla which effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it contains sarsaparilla, but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than twenty different ingredients. There is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any preparation said to be "just as good," you may be sure it is inferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit. Metaphors of Millionaire Found No Response in the Breast of the The millionaire accepted the farmer's cordial invitation to ride, and with much scrambling gained a seat on top of the hay. "My good man," said the millionaire, patronizingly, "this swaying, rolling, sweet-scented divan is a couch upon which I could win slumber and be irresistible to the arms of Morpheus whenever I courted sweet sleep." The farmer stiffened. "I'll hear no more of your talk; I'm a respectable married man, an' I'll ask you where you're goin' so I can avoid the place." Dreamily the millionaire smiled. "I'm getting back to Mother Nature, who has been outraged and abused by me for years; I am a broken man, and she will forgive me and bring me back to health." The farmer stopped the team and pulled a three-tined pitchfork from the brace socket—but his passenger was gone.—Success Magazine. A West Philadelphia man and his wife have separated. None of their friends know why, but one, being curious, asked the husband: "What was the trouble between you and your wife?" "O, nothing much. She bought a new hat for $20 and asked me what I thought of it. And I told her. That's all." Teacher—You are late every morning. Pupil—Well, it isn't my fault that you didn't build your blamed old school house nearer my home. Garfield Tea will win your approval. It is pleasant to take, mild in action and very health-giving.

Pettit's Eye Salve INFALLIBLE FOR WEAK SORE EYES Forestalled. District Attorney J. F. Clarke of New York was talking about the recent kidnapping cases. "Kidnapers," he said, "are apt to disappear now. They have become too unpopular. Why, a kidnapper is as unpopular as a widower. "Widows, now, are very attractive, but about a widower there is always something uncanny, something almost clammy—I mean, of course, from the matrimonial point of view. "I know a widower who is thinking of marrying again. He thought he'd broach the matter delicately the other moping to his little daughter, so he said: "Ah, my dear, how I did love your mother!" "But the little girl gave him a suspicious look and snapped: "Say 'do,' not "did," papa." An Ambassador's Nose An ambassador to Russia, formerly a leather merchant in this country, discovered certain secret processes regarding a special kind of leather manufactured there. He would have been locked on with suspicion had it been suspected that he could learn anything of these methods. But during his sojourn he got near enough to certain factories to register, through his sense of smell, some impressions with which he was able to work out the formulas when he returned home.

"The Memory Lingers" POSTUM CEREAL CO., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. JOASH CROWNED IN JUDAH JOASH CROWNED IN JUDAH Sunday School Lesson for April 16, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT-2 Kings 11:1-20. Memory. Verse 12. GOLDEN TEXT "Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with a whole heart."-Psa. 119:2. TIME-Athaliah came to the throne in 83 B. (Hastings) or 883 B. C. (Beecher); Joash, 883 B. C. (Hastings) or 887 B. C. (Beecher). PLACE-Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. HIGS-Joash's contemporaries were Jehu in Israel, Hazael in Syria, Shalmanzer II in Assyria. God always finds ways to frustrate the evil. John Wilkes Booth did not reckon on the flag which tangled his feet when he tried to escape. He killed a Lincoln, but up started a host of others to undo his evil deed. The kingdom of God is not a pillar which can be thrown prostrate in the dust, but a cube that always falls upon a base as broad as that from which it has been dislodged. In fact, it is rather like the Irishman's stone fence, which he built three feet high and four feet wide, so that if it was tipped over it would be higher than it was before. How can we apply this incident to our modern boys and girls? For every one of them a kingdom is waiting, the kingdom of a noble, happy and useful manhood or womanhood. This is the real kingdom, for Joash, and for every boy and girl. Every young king and queen is surrounded by perils, as terrible as those that threatened Joash; and the only safety now is the safety that he found then—the protection of the church and of a godly home. A noble woman has done her part in saving the young king—the part that mothers play in the preservation of the young kings of our modern homes. Now a man steps in, as the father comes to have the chief influence over the life of the growing boy. Jeholada, the high priest, was a man of ability and fine character. Probably it was becoming increasingly difficult to hide the growing lad, and longer confinement would be most injurious for him physically and mentally. The first step toward placing him on his rightful throne was to gather a sufficient force of loyal adherents. After obtaining the assurances, in addition to their own weapons, which of course they would bear, they were furnished by Jeholada with the spears and shields that, as relics of David's time, hung somewhere within the sacred precincts, just as his predecessor Ablmelech had furnished to David himself the sword of Goliath. These would remind them that it was for David's heir they were contending. Wise steps were taken, under the leadership of Jeholaada, in the opening of the young king's reign. A covenant was made between the Lord and the king and the people. This was a renewal of the original compact, in which Jeholavah and his people bound themselves together—a compact broken by the Baal-worship of Athallah's reign. What was the second step? The immediate and thorough destruction of the temple of Baal, with its altars and licentious images, and the execution of its high priest Mattan. It seems to be implied that the "house of Baal" stood on the temple mount, in ostentatious rivalry with the sanctuary of Jeholavah. And the third step? Jeholaada appointed officers over the house of the Lord, re-establishing the courses of the Levites, and proceeding at once to assign the custody of the temple to a particular course. And the final step? Leaving the Levites to keep order in the temple, Jeholaada and the soldiers conducted the boy king to the palace through the gate of the guard, doubtless that through which the king regularly passed from the temple to the palace and back again, accompanied by his bodyguard. What a change for the lad who had been a prisoner so long! When young Solomon started out in his reign he was offered his choice of blessings, and chose not long life or riches or power, but wisdom; and in that choice he gained the other blessings also. When Christ started out in his great reign he was found in the temple, seeking wisdom. When the girl Victoria learned that she was to become queen of earth's mightiest empire she quietly said: "I will be good." If our young kings and queens would be well furnished for their sovereignty they must go to the Bible and to the Bible school, and there they will learn what true royalty is, and what are the secrets of power and success. It is appropriate that we have for Easter Sunday the story of a coronation, for Easter is the anniversary of the greatest of all coronations, the day when all mankind received the possibility, at least, of the crown of life. This is the crown to which all our young kings and queens should look forward as the blessed reward of noble reigning over the kingdoms that God has given them. St. James wrote. "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him." St. John was bidden to write to the church in Syria: "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life." The crown of life means the achievement of the best and most beautiful character. It means the development of all the powers that God has given us. It means love and friends in most satifying abundance. It means the honor of all whose good ennion is worth the most. You Look Prematurely Old Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray haire.

PHYSICAL WRECK RESTORED TO HEALTH BY GREAT KID- NEY REMEDY PHYSICAL WRECK RESTORED TO HEALTH BY GREAT KID- NEY REMEDY I feel it my duty to furnish you with any testimonial as to what your remedy, Swamp-Root, did for me when I was a physical wreck from kidney and bladder trouble. Some years ago I was not able to do any work and could only just creep around and am satisfied that had it not been for Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root I would not have lived. After using the preparation for one month I was able to work some and when I had used $8.00 worth of Swamp-Root I could do a good day's work. I used about $10.00 worth altogether and would not take $10,000 for the good that it did me. I consider it a God-send to suffering humanity for the disease for which you recommend it, and have recommended it to many sufferers. H. L. HUGGINS, Welch, Ark.

ITCHED SO COULD NOT SLEEP "I suffered from the early part of December until nearly the beginning of March with severe skin eruptions on my face and scalp. At first I treated it as a trivial matter. But after having used castile soap, medicated washrags, cold cream, vanishing cream, etc., I found no relief whatever. After that I diagnosed my case as eczema, because of its dry, scaly appearance. The itching and burning of my scalp became so intense that I thought I should go mad, having not slept regularly for months past, only at intervals, waking up now and then because of the burning and itching of my skin. Having read different testimonials of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, I decided to purchase a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. After using them for a few days I recognized a marked change in my condition. I bought about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all, and after a few days I was entirely free from the itching and burning. My eczema was entirely cured, all due to using Cuticura Soap and Ointment daily. Hereafter I will never be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on my washstand. I highly recommend the Cuticura Remedies to anyone suffering from similar skin eruptions and hope you will publish my letter so that others may learn of Cuticura Remedies and be cured."

After Brown had been in heaven some time, he met Jones just coming through the gate, and as the newcomer did not look as happy and contented as he should, Brown asked him what was the matter. "Well," Jones said, "I got my feet wet coming across the river Styx and caught a nasty cold, broke my left wing and have to carry it in a sling, and my halo don't fit worth a darn."

The question of reciprocal trade relations between the United States and Canada has provoked considerable discussion and interest. Whatever else the discussion may have done, it has brought out the fact that on the Canadian side of the line the agricultural situation is one that forces attention, and it has also brought forth the fact which it is well to face, that on the American side of the border, there is a vastly increasing population to be fed with a somewhat decreasing proportion of food products. This article is intended to point out to those who may wish to become of those who can raise wheat, oats, barley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least cost that the opportunities in Central Canada are what they are seeking. During the past year the official figures show that upwards of 130,000 Americans located in Canada, and the greatest majority of these have settled on farms, and when the time comes, which it will help in a few years, they will be ready to help serve their parent country with the food stuffs that its increasing population will require. The immigration for the spring has now set in in great earnest, and train load after train load of a splendid class of settlers leave weekly from Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, Detroit, St. Paul and other points. Most of these are destined through to points in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The reports that come from the different farming districts there are that the spring is opening up well, and the prospects for a splendid crop this year are very good. In some districts good homesteads are yet available. The price of all farm lands has naturally had an increase, but it is still away below its earning capacity. The immigration branch of the Dominion Government has just published its 1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may be secured on application to the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, or any of the agents of the Dominion Government, whose advertisement may appear elsewhere in this paper. Preventing a Disturbance. Colonel Scotchem was weary. He had had a very arduous day retreating from the enemy, and he wished to recoup his strength in order that he might retreat still further on the morrow. "MacPherson," he said to his new servant, "I'm going to snatch forty winks' sleep. Stay in my tent and see that I'm not disturbed." Mac saluted. Five minutes later the snores of Colonel Scotchem were cut short by the loud report of a gun. "Great Scott!" cried the colonel. "Are the enemy upon us?" "Na, dinna fret," replied Mac, inserting his head reassuringly through the tent flap, "it was only a wee mouse. But as I thought he might wake you up I shot him."—Answers.

Before Allowing an Operation Please Read These Two Letters. The following letter from Mrs. Orville Rock will prove how unwise it is for women to submit to the dangers of a surgical operation when it may be avoided by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She was four weeks in the hospital and came home suffering worse than before. Then after all that suffering Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound restored her health. HERE IS HER OWN STATEMENT. Paw Paw, Mich.—“Two years ago I suffered very severely with a displacement—I could not be on my feet for a long time. My physician treated me for several months without much relief, and at last sent me to Ann Arbor for an operation. I was there four weeks and came home suffering worse than before. My mother advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I did. To-day I am well and strong and do all my own housework. I owe my health to Lydia E.

Under the headline, Where Do They Get Water? a writer in the Young Folks' Catholic Weekly says: "When I was a cabin boy I often used to wonder, seeing birds thousands of miles out to sea, what they did for fresh water when they were thirsty. One day a squall answered that question for me. It was a hot and glittering day in the tropics, and in the clear sky overhead a black rain cloud appeared all of a sudden. Then out of empty space over a hundred sea birds came darting from every direction. They got under the rain cloud, and waited there for about ten minutes, circling round and round, and when the rain began to fall they drank their fill. In the tropics, where the great sea birds sail thousands of miles away from shore, they get their drinking water in that way. They smell out a storm a long way off; they travel a hundred miles maybe to get under it, and they swallow enough raindrops to keep them going."—New York Tribune. Badly Scared.

PUT YOUTH ON HIS GUARD Evidently Recital of Romances Long Passed Made No Appeal to His Feelings. "Charles," said a sharp-voiced woman to her husband in a railway carriage "do you know that you and I once had a romance in a railway carriage?" "Never heard of it," replied Charles in a subdued tone. "I thought you hadn't; but don't you remember, it was that pair of slippers I presented to you the Christmas before we were married that led to our union? You remember how nicely they fitted, don't you? Well, Charles one day when we were going to a picnic you had your feet upon a seat, and when you were not looking I took your measure. But for that pair of slippers I don't believe we'd have ever been married." A young unmarried man sitting by immediately took down his feet from the seat.—Ideas Magazine.

It was a stupendous statement and well ‘worth readjustment of one’s pose for the dramatic effect. The speaker, who stopped now and then to look up from the script, was neatly but severely tallored, her hear was brushed careful- ly and not unbecomingly from her high brow. There was not a curl nor a rip- ple of a marcel wave. Higher educa- tion was writ large. A little woman on the back seat in ‘common clothes, seamed face and hard hands fldgeted and looked startled at such an intellectual outburst. “Excuse me, mum,” she, ventured tmidly, as she nudged her neighbor, “4s this Mme. Xo's beauty lecture?” “It is not,” was the grim rejoinder. “It is the annual meeting of the official board and chairmen of standing com- mittees of the Iowa Federation of Club ‘Women.” “Mercy!” ejaculated the woman out ‘of place. Then she “scooted.” RARE FORMS OF MARINE LIFE Gegked Whales and West Indian Ech- Inolds Are Described In the Bulle tins of the National Museum. ‘The United States National museum hhsa issued two bulletins in the quarto series. Of these the first, Bulletin 73 is “An eccount of the beaked whales of the family Ziphidae in the collection of the United States National museum, ‘with remarks on some specimens ir other American museums,” by Dr. Frederick W. True, head curator of the department of biology in the ‘United States National museum. The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three gen- era only specimens representing about 100 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidae aré Mesoplodon, Ziphius and —Beradius, and to the discussions of these with their individual species Doctor True has devoted his attention. The second of these bulletins, No. 7%, is “On Some West Indian Echin, olds,” by the well known authority, Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological! museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulle- tin {s the list of North American and! West Indian Echinolds, which he has carefully compiled from the § spect- mens obtained by the Blake and the! Albatross. ‘The bulletin is beautifully’ illustrated by 16 full-page plates of, these intcresting forms of marine life. DSAM: A.BSTRACT Co.

The Arctic sealer endures a hard fife. Sealing does not consist only of hurried scrambling over ice, and flercs breathless battling afterwards. There are many hardships to endure. The most common type of Arctic weather is a dense, ung clogging fog, with 6 rasp of cold that Is enongh to freeze a glowing furnace. This fog may be Aiversified with cruel blizzards of pelt- ing snow, borne on the wings of the eonstant gales. Once the snow passea come sleet and rain—rain that is as cold as ice. Misery prevails grectly among the crews of Arctic sealers, for the dampness and the cold soun say the stoutest constitutions. ‘Sensation In “Mystery Ship.- _ Sydney, Australia, has had a now elty in the shape of a “mystery ship™ An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsig naled and unannounced.

I have received quite a number of let- ters in the last month making inquiries regarding the Taborian Home and its regulation and about the Ta- borian Home Fund, it occurs to my mind that a great many of our Chief Mentors, ‘Chief Preceptresses and Queen Mothers have not read the Session Laws as they should have done. I wi.l answer about fifteen (15) letters under the one head. The Law creating the Home says that the Tabo rtan Home fund shall be sent to the ©. G. S. in the month of April of each year, That law has neyer been changed or altered, So the Home Fund is due to be sent to the C. G. S. in the month of April. Temples and Tabernacles are to send $5.00 and Tents $3.00 each, For full information coneerning the Home read the Session Laws of 1909, page 116 ‘‘ MEETING oF THE BOARD OF GRAND CURATORS”, then read on page 117 Taborian Home By-Laws and Constitution, and read pages 118—119 and 120 and I am sure that if the of- ficers and members keep themselves~posted there will not be so many questions of Law they don’t under- stand as everything is done in reach of the least mem- bers of our great order.

Finns Devote Summer Months to En- Joyment and Pursuit of Health, In Finland everybody lives the sim ple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and al- ‘ways somewhere near the water, for ‘everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town coun- ils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and pubile bathing sheds In all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simyic lite {s by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They com bine it with a surprising amount of sayety. They eat, drink and aro merry im their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and wlashing they dance, they sing, they vatoh fireworks and practice gymnas cs, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finns’ book.—Ladies’ Pictcrial BAD NOTES EASILY DETECTED Almost Impossible to Impose Upon ‘Handlers of Money.
