The old. stale argument used by the
war tax party to hoodwink farmers is
that IL their taxes are reduced all the
wheels Of industry will stop. and there
will be no one able to buy their wheat
and corn.
The tax upon what the farmer buys
is s47 on the SIoo.
Now let US see wha, he gets in return
for this enormous taxation. Thirty
per cent Of the whea, raised in this
country is exported, and the price OF
it, as fixed in London, fixes the price
Of the seventy per cent which is used
at home. In London our whoa, comes
in competition with Indian wheat,
which is raised by laborers Hho re.
ceive but sixty cents per day wages.
Therefore the price Of wheat is not
even remotely influenced by the tariff.
But surely. it may be said, the pro-
tected manufacturers buy aud consume
a large portion OF the whea, crop Of
the country in return for the enormous
sacrifice that the farmer makes 10
maintain them IN afiluence. This is
far from being the. case. One half of
the people Of the country are engaged
in farming Therefore Of the seventy
per cent. used in this country the farm.
ers themselves use one-half, or about
thsrty.fve per cent. The mechanics
OF the country and the people engaged
in manufacturing and mining, are
about one fifth Of the population
They therefore use one fifth Of the
seventy per cent. consumed at home,
or fourteen per cent. Of the whole.
But statistics tell US that the people who
receive the bene6, Of the SIT on the
500 are only abou, a third Of this
class, so that in return for paying all
this enormous taxation for the support
Of the manufacturing Barons. the farm.
CT has to content bimself with having
five per cent. Of his crop bough, from
him at prices fixed by the pauper labor
Of Asia.
The queation now before the coun.
try is whether he is going to continue
to do il.

In q Peraian Vineyard.

Hassan and rode out to big vine
yard near Gulack, in the foot hills Of tho
Elburz mountains, to pick out tho neces-
sary quantity Of grapes. Hassan said it
was best TO buy them on tho vines and
leave them there until we were ready for
them. We found the vineyard inclosed
within substantial mud walls twenty feet
high. A little stream Of water flowed
beneath an opening in tho wall at ono
side. and out again on the other. Tho
water was used for irrigating Tho vines.
Instead Of being trained up posts or
trellis work. the vines were trailing over
long ridges Of dry earth. The soil Of tho
vineyard was piled up in long mounds or
ridges about four feet high. The vines
were planted in the trenches, and grew
over the ridges. These latter were made
perpendicular on tho south side, hut
slanting on the north. Tho vines arc
trailed up the northern slopes so as to
benefit by the oblique rays Of the sun,
which are supposed to be better for tho
grapes than direct rays.
Several varieties Of grapes were in tho
vineyard, from little white grapes called
kishmish. from which are made the sui
tana raisins Of commerce, to2big black
grapes almost the size OF egg plums.-

Inrersol,.s view of Art.

Col Ingersoll has had something to say
about art recently. on art and morality.
As might be expected, his view Of the sub
ject Is by no means lopsided. He has no
patience with the "medicinal view" Of art,
which, being interpreted, Is that view
which presupposes that all art exists
solely for the purpose of teaching n moral
lesson. He boldly says that ''art has
nothing To do directly with morality OF
immortality. Ii is it's own excuse for be-
ing; it exists for itself. The bird in its
song has no moral purpose, and yet the
influence Is humanizing. The beautiful

sympathy. It does not browbeat, neither
does it humiliate. Roses would be I'M.

in the Tyrol. Bands OF musicians, for
which the Tyrolese have always been
noted, traverse every valley, singing the
beautiful Easter HYMNS to their guitars,
calling ont the peonlc to their doors, who
Join them in their choruses, and together
rejoice over this glad anniversary. Their
wide brimmed Spanish hats are decorated
with bouquets OF flowers; crowds of chill

darkness Of night comes on, bear lighted
torches OF the pine wood, which throw
Erotesquc shadows over the spectators ana
picturesque wooden huts.

Easter day our readers are acquainted,

hare, or the dancing of tho sun The
Easter egg, however, il may he worth
saying-whether 1t be hens egg boiled
in piece of colored print, or costly en-
velope for hOn-bons--is supposed to rep.
resent the eggs used by the Jews at the
feast of the Passover, or the colored eggs
given at the solar festival of the New
Year by the CID Persians. The egg, a
natural symbol OF life, appeared in the
Athenian mysteries of Bacchus, in the
Hindoo fables, in the Japanese worship,
in the religious rites of Egypt The early
Christians were wise as well rs ingenious
when they seized upon the immemorial
superstitions and usages Of the world
around them and gave them n meaning
and n part in the great work of the
churcb.
Easter week at Rome is always great
season, being celebrated with elaborate
ceremonies. The Landing of Joy,n rs
Easter day is designated, is ushered in by
the firing Of cannon and merry peal of
bells. AT st. Peters the pope officiates
at high mass and pronounces a benedic-
ton with indulgences and dissolution.
An unusual number of distinguished peo-
pie will witness the ceremonies this
Easter, which will be Of unusual magnifi-
cence, owing to the fact Of its being the
Jubilee year.

TfkOLiSk SINGING kASTbK HYMNS.
The Mctonic cycle OF nineteen years was
first adopted, Melton having observed,
d. G.. 433, that the moon returns to have
her changes OH the same month and day
of the month in the solar year after a
lapse of nineteen years. But the new
moon, though il happened on that day,
returned an hour earlier, so q Roman
cycle was framed of eighty-four years, II
being thought that in this space Of time
the moons changes would lot only return
to the same day Of the month, but OF the
week also. In 457 the more perfect Vic
torian period of 532 years was drawn up,
which was adopted by the church Mt the
fourth council of Orleans, 541.

Easter in Christendom, Of course, COM
memorates the resurrection OF Christ,
though it takes its English name from
the Teutonic goddess of spring, Castro or
Ostcra, whose feast fell at the same
season, the name being retained though
the character Of the celebration was
changed. 1t is one OF the movable feasts,
moving backward and forward between
March 90 and April 90, according as the
full moon next afte: the vernal equinox
falls nearer or further from the equinox.
Easter day, according to the ecclesias-
tical rule, is always the first Sunday after
the full moon which happens upon or next
after the 2lst Of March, and il the full
moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter day
is the Sunday after. This decidedly COM
pick rule was only arrived Mt after long
striving and much contriving At the very
beginning difference of opinion arose,
some of the Christians keeping their festi-
val on the same day that the Jews kept
their Passover, the 14th Of Nissan, while
others, attaching more Importance to the
day OF the resurrection, and also desiring
to mark more conspicuously the difference
between themselves and tie Jews, kept
their festival on the Sunday following the
18th of Nissan. Discussions mt first paci-
fic soon became heated, and threatened ut
the close of the second century
schism. This, however, was avoided
by compromise, the eastern and
western churches agreeing to each
maintain it's own customs. The stu
alton was further complicated by the
fact that the ordinary Jewish year con-
sisted of 354 days or twelve lunar months,
a thirteenth of thirty days being inter
calated every third year. Even .hen,
however, the Passover often fell before the
vernal equinox, and the western Chris
tians, who considered the vernal equinox
the beginning of the natural year, OBJ
jected to mode of reckoning which
might cause them To hold two paschal
feasts in one year and none In the next
Constantine had the matter settled for
the whole church at the council of Nice in

An Easter Custom.

Each day, during Easter week, in an
cient times, had its peculiar sports, rs
well as religious observances, some OF
which, in this enlightened day, seem ut

Most things In this world have their

What can be more commonplace than the
egg, and yet in all ages and in every
country it has been the subject OF poetical
myths and legends. The ancient Films

the lap OF Vaimainon, who Matched it in
his bosom. He let it fall into the water
