And yet, while this is true, it cannot be
said that Easter-eggs have ceased to be
popular. Even the unadorned eggs,I
arranged in nest of moss set in a!
basket decked off with ribbons and
spring flowers, are undoubtedly and
Enthusiastically gift worth having.
Another happy custom is that OF send
inc Easter cards to friends at a dis
lance. But of all the beautiful
customs connected with Easter, the
decorating of our homes, churches and
the last resting-place of our beloved is
the most beautiful and helpful, the
early spring flower reminding one of
the early dawn of yesterday, and the
great white Gala lilies and full-blown
roses, of Christ's glorious resurrection
and perfect example, and always at
Easter flowers seem the most appropri-
ate gift to both the Church and her
children. This feeling is universal
one, and shared alike by rich and poor,
old and young, Catholic and Protestant;

"Oif'erins at the Sepulcher,"

A Secret Well Kept.

Between forty and fifty years ago an
old log church stood ON the South Com
mons in Allegheny City. 1t was then in
the open country. Adjoining and be-
longing to the church was graveyard
fronting on the public road
About daybreak one morning in 1910
farmer who was on his way to Pitts
burgh with q load of dressed meat heard
sounds issuing from the graveyard as if
some one was knocking box to pieces
with an axe. He climbed the fence and
stole along in the direction of the
sounds. He had gone but short dis
lance when he found a man engaged in
robbing a grave. He had been so alb
sorbed in his work that he had not
heard the approach of his discoverer and
he was in the act of lifting the body
from the coffin when he heard the foot
steps of the farmer, The grave was
that of prominent young woman who
had been buried the day before
The farmer was so filled with horror
and indignation at the crime that before
the man could spring out he seized 3
club that lay near and dealt the robber
powerful blow on the head, The man
fell into the grave and neither uttered
sound nor moved after falling. The
farmer became alarmed. Dropping into
the grave himself, he raised the man
body. The grave robber was none other
than the sexton of the church, man
standing high in the community. He
was dead.
The farmer hurried back home, and,
telling his relatives of what had &C.
Cured, he at once left the State. Only
five persons ever knew the secet of the
graveyard tragedy besides he living
principal. Who found the body of the
sexton dead in the grave was
not positively known by them,
but as it was gives out by
his family that he died suddenly,
and no investigation was ever made,
they supposed that the body must have
been discovered by sope one of the
family before its position was known
to any one else.
The sections family soon afterward
moved away. His SLAYER went to an
Ohio town, where he married and grew
into prominence and wealth. He died
last week His secrtt was never di-
vulged, and even his wife and children
lived in ignorance of i. The secret at
the time of his death was in the keep
ing of two persons alone, the other
three having died. One of these per-
sons is leading clergyman of Ale
gheny. The other is the writer's in
formant, residentof the oil regions.
He says that the death of the principal
in the graveyard tragedy has released
him from all pledge of secrecy. He re-
fuses to reveal the names, but affirms
that the story is true in every particu-
lar.-Bradtord (R.) Cor. N. Y. San.

A Provoked Lecturer.

There are some persons and some
newspapers whom nothing delights
more than chance to revile Rev.
Joseph Cook, of Boston; and these per-
sons and papers will no doubt revcl in
glee at the reports of the assault and
battery by that distinguished lecturer
upon one Price, of Keene, n. II. 1t has
not been proved yet that there was any
assault; but there are considerations
that 90 to show that ii there was it was
entirely iustiIiable.
Every one know the value OF the last
five minutes of sleep in the morning,
and that an ordinary man would rather
lose two hours of his rest before mid
night than the smallest portion of
that precious last nap. Now it appears
that Mr.. Cook had been travelling, and
was very tired when he reached keene.
Upon his arrival he was set upon by the
aforesaid Price, who extorted from him
a promise to attend a prayer meeting
before the lecture. Mr.. Cook then
retired TO his room, with Just fifteen
minutes to rest before the time at which
he had promised to 90 to the meeting
above mentioned. But when only eight
minutes of the fifteen had passed, there
came rapping at his chamber door,
and the importunate Price appeared.
Such 'previousness" certainly was
exceedingly annoying, and in our judg-
ment Mr.. Cook was entirely justified in
leading Mr.. Price into the hall by the
coat collar and informing him that he
did not propose to be disturbed. Most
men would have felt like throwing a
bootiack at the intruder He was for
tunate in getting. off so easily N. \.

Cremating a Great East Indian Re-
former.

The ceremony Of cremating the re-
mains of the late Babu Keshub Chunder
Sen, the great Brahmo leader, has
taken place.
About 1890 a. m. Babu Keshub
Chunder Sen expired at his residence at
Lily Cottage, and Immediately after his
remains were laid out on a new sandal
wood bedstead, which was covered with
marigolds, jessamine and roses. The
corpse was dressed in white silk dh0ti,
and at intervals some of the disciples of
the Brahmo leader sprinkled rosewater
on it and placed garlands of flowers all
over. At noon the bier was removed
to the new chapel adjoining Lily Cot
tage, which was being erected for the
late Babu Keshub Chunder's Sen s
private devotions, and at $3.50 p. m. a
photographer came and photographed
the remains which were then lying an
object of touching regard to hundreds
of the Brahmo leaders, disciples,
friends and admirers. Shortly after
this the male mourners and visitors
were requested to leave the chapel to
allow of the entrance of a number of
the female relatives and followers of
the deceased, who then entered and
gave vent to their feelings of grief and
sorrow at the death of their beloved
leader
1.-The bier, with the remains, was then
carried in procession along the roads
from the chapel to Nimto0lah Ghaut,
followed by thousands and thousands of
natives of al castles and creeds, and by
a very numerous gathering of leading
European gentlemen in Calcutta. AT
Nimtoolah Ghaut the body was, with
Brahmo rites, placed on the funeral
pyre, which was composed entirely of
sandal wood After cremation the
ashes were collected and placed in an
urn, which will be deposited in the de-
ceased minister's private chapel. The
procession was headed by a disciple,
who bore in his hands banner,
bearing on it the words, New Dis
pensation."
As the procession reached the old
Brahmo Mandir in Colootollah, the
body was put down and hymn
chanted, GLORY be to the man who has
got pure heart;'' and the same cere-
mony was repeated when the procession
passed the Sadhyaram Somaj Mandir,
the chant being repeated at intervals
till the burning ghaut was reached. Nc
better proof could be found of the re.
spect and esteem in which the late
Brahmo leader was held than in the
thousands who followed the remains 'tc
witness the cremation ceremony and in
the thousands who visited Lily Cottage,
| in Circular Road to see the last of the
remains of the great Brahnlo leader
among whom was his son-in-law, the
Maharaja of Kuch Behar, and other
most prominent natives in Calcutta. -

Nursing Jobs at Washington.

"You know" said the Ex-Governor
| Of Maryland, ''that there are lot of
extra men lying around the capitol all
the time waiting for Architect Clark to
give them something to do. Whenever
there is snow storm they all get few
hours work, shoveling snow off the
walks. sometimes Clark thinks the
steps somewhere ought to be fixed or
the roof mended, and then some of
! them get job. Once in while Clark
concludes to paint some part of the
| building, and then these men make a
few dollars; but when Clark Omits to
think of anything that needs doing for
a long time these supernumeraries don't
fare well They did have a little
scheme for such seasons, but it has
fallen through now. You know that
there is fish pond at the west entrance
of the capitol?"
Eyes. "
'Well, when the 'supers' get pretty
hungry one of them would run to Clark,
all out of breath, and eXclaim that there
was a catfish in the pond. Then he
would add, with great excitement, that
this catfish would eat up all the spawn
of the goldfish and kill the goldfish
themselves. Clark would say that he
guessed it wasn't catfish, but that the
man had probably seen cigar stump
floating around in the pond. Then the
man would go out and get some more
of his fellows, all of whom had seen
the catfish sure enough. 1t would
never do to have the catfish destroy all
the goldfish, and 80 orders would be
given to drain the pond. There would
be five or six laborers, a foreman and
clerk to keep the time. They would
get the goldfish out in bucket, then
then they would let the water out of the
pond, wash the green slime from the
walls, re-arrange the rocks in the bot
tom, let the water in again and then
put back the bucket of goldfish. 1t
would take about week, and it would
cost from $3.50 to $500 each time. The
supernumeraries played this on CLARK
three or four times year for several
years. 1t has cost altogether $21, 900
for the Government to get catfish out of
that pond. Probably there was never
any catfish in the place, but if there
was he cost the United States more
than fifteen pensioned veterans"
"Why can't these men work the
scheme any more?'
"Just this way: Clark has tumbled.
About two months ago one of the men
rushed up to him with mouth wide
open and eyes bullying out of his head,
and announced that there was catfish
in the pond, Guess it's a cigar stump
said Clark. No faint, said the man,
it's catfish, sure enough; ] saw him,
and he'll eat up all the goldfish spawn
and kill the goldfish. Then Clark
said. We'll, never mind; l can buy
goldfish for one dollar a dozen, and I'll
just buy a couple OF dozen and give the
catfish picnic. He can't eat more
than two dozen, and that's as many as
there is in the pond. That'H be cheaper
than cleaning the pond out at $500
time There hasn't been q catfish
seen in the pond since. "-NattonaJ Re

Electrical Transmission Of Force

NJ. Marcel Deprez, the eminent cleo
trician, gave lecture at the Sorbonne
on the transmission of force to great
distances. The grand amphitheater
there was densely crowded, and the
lecturer was loudly cheered. After
explaining briefly the fundamental prin-
ciples of electrical science, he proceeded
to show what an enormous quantity of
natural force was lost simply because
the sources thereof were far from towns
and railways. The annual unused
water-power in France was equivalent to
more than four hundred times its annual
consumption of coal. Through cleo
tricity some of this might be conveyed
to the large cities. If 1-400th part was
used the number of horsepower would
yet be doubled. 1t was hitherto thought
impossible to transport even small
force to great distances with anything
like satisfactory yield, as the greater
part of the force developed was wasted
in overcoming the resistance of the con-
Meeting wire. NJ. Marcel Deprez was
the first to prove that to minimize this
loss it was necessary to make electric
machines with thin wire, for by this
means the wasted energy could be made
almost insignificant as compared with
the utilized energy. The lecturer then
gave an account of experiments per-
formed at Munich, Paris and Grenoble,
and announced that next October he
would transport one hundred horse
power from Creil to Paris, distance of
thirty-six miles. Heconcluded by pub
licly expressing his gratitude to Baron
Rothschild, who had furnished the
means for this experiment.-Pa;is Cor.

Rev. w. l.. McGrew, young Meth.
odist minister of Somerset County, is
we'll known in Western Pennsylvania
He is native of West Elizabeth, in this
county. He has been member of the
Methodist ministry for probably twelve
or fifteen years-may be longer. 1t is
not of his ability as q minister, but of
his marvellous skill in shooting that this
brief article will treat. Bogardus and
Carver have never accomplished any
thing with shotgun or rifle which Mr.
McGrew has not been able to duplicate;
but he can teach them feats which,
whether they can execute them or not
they have never attempted. One of
these is the breaking with a repeating
rife of two ordinary glass drinking
goblets thrown into the air together,
before either falls to the ground He
cuts one of the goblets in twain at the
stem, lowers his rifle to his hip to throw
out the empty shell and reload, and
then breaks the globe of the other.
Another thing he does is to shoot
through the mouth of a pop bottle
thrown up in the air and knock the Dot
tom out. The bottle is thrown so that
at every revolution the mouth is pre-
sented to him. He shoots with rifle
through the mouth and knocks the bot
tom out. One that is still more difficult
is to shoot with a repeating rifle two
glass balls thrown in opposite direc-
tons from trap. At the county fair
last fail at Somerset he was invited to
give public exhibition OF his skill. He
consented to do so, provided the event
should not be surrounded with any cir
cumstances that would detract from the
dignity of his calling. On that coca
sion he first broke thirty single balls
thrown from trap, hitting every one
at the first fire. Then he tried his hand
at fifteen double balls, and broke every
pair. Of the sixty balls he did not miss
one. All this was done with rifle.
Ex-Governor Hoyt was witness of the
exhibition, and pronounced it the most
phenomenal display of craftsmanship
he had ever Pittsburgh Post,
