day, for preceding His suffering our
Savior entered triumphantly into
Jerusalem, the multitudes carving
palm branches in honor of the Prince
Of Peace.
The week preceding Easter is
called holy because in it Christ suf-
fered and died, and by the merit of
his passion became the author and
source of all holiness. Particularly
the last three days are observed in
Catholic countries, and have even in
Protestant countries retained their
peculiar names. Holy, or Maundy
Thursday, Good Friday and Holy
Saturday. On Holy Thursday in
the evening Christ for the last time
supped with his Disciples, and in
stltuted the sacrament of the Lords
Supper, or the Eucharist. After
that He went into the garden of
olives to pray. Here His soul suffer.
ed the agonies of death, and his
sweat ran down in drops of blood to
the ground. But an angel strength
ems him, and he readily goes forth
to meet Judas, his betrayer, and the
band sent to lay hands on him. Dur.
ing the night he was taken and tried
before Caiphas and Annas, the Jew.
ish High Priests. But as the SEN
tence of death was reserved to the
Roman Government, Christ was
early on Good Friday taken before
PLATE, and by him sentenced to the
death of the cross. On that Friday
God through Christ showed the ex.
cess of His goodness by dying for
us on the cross, and thus purchasing
for US every real good. Because on
this day Christ offered himself a
bloody victim on the cross, mass is
not offered in Catholic churches on
Good Friday.
On Friday towards evening the
body was taken from the cross and
buried in the new tomb of Joseph of
Armathea. On the morning of
Easter Sunday Christ rose by his
own power, glorious and immortal
from the dead. Therefore Easter is
a day ofrejOicing throughout all the
Christian world.
Easter falls every year on the first
Sunday of the first full moon that
happens upon or after the 21st of
March. This was decreed by the
council of Nice in the year A. D. 325,
to establish harmony in the calender
of all nations, to distinguish the
Christians from the Jews, and in
commemoration of the ancient and
we'll established opinion that the
eclipse at the death of Christ took
place during full moon, and thus
was miraculous, as according to the
course of nature an eclipse of the
sun can only happen during new
moon.
The Jewish Easter, Phase, or
Passover, is observed in commemo-
ration of the fact that in Egypt the
destroying angel passed over the
houses of the Jews, while at the
same time he slew the first born in
every EgyDtian household.

PICKING CUCUMBERS.- The fol-
lowing Is one OF the best recipes:
Cucnmbers for picking should be
very small, and a. free from spots
as possible. Wash thena with q
soft cloth in cold water, put them
TO drain, then make q brine OF salt
and water strong enough to hear
an egg; place them In and allow
them to remain about three weeks;
then take them out and drain
them;have your vinegar and spices
boiling hot, place the pickles In
jars with an onion stuck full of
cloves in each; poor the vinegar
boiling hot into the jar of pickles,
keep them closely covered, so that
none of the steam may escape, as
its retention promotes their green
ness, and prevents the flavor from
evaporating. Repeat the boiling
daily for four or five days: then,
if a fine green color, and the pick
les are completely covered with
vinegar, secure the jars with large
fiat corksor bladders and put them
away. Vinegar for pickles must
always be OF the very best kind,
and should only boil for five min
utes, az too much boiling reduces
its strength; never, on any consid-
Grafton, use brass or copper kettles
for picking; bellmetal Is the best;
avoid stone jars also. as the lead,
which Is an Ingredient In the glaz-
ing of common earthern ware, is
rendered pernicious by the action
Of the vinegar.
