THE DAWN OF EASTER.
Significance Of the Day to the ClviIised
World.

Ngnihcance OF the Day to the ClviIized
World.
To-day the Christian world passes
from the gloom of the somber and peni-
tential Lent into the light of renewed
life and activity, better prepared to dis
charge the duties and responsibilities
of life through the rest and fruitful
contemplation the season of solemnity
has afforded. Time itself is in harmony
with this renewal, and with opening
buds, beaming sun and song of birds,
nature is chime. The social gayety
that gave place during the forty days to
more sober and serious reflection again
resumes its sway, its pleasure all the
greater for the respite from its oft ex-
acting and wearying duties.
AS time goes on there seems a greater
disposition to return to Lent as fitting
time for thoughtful contemplation and
for the temporary abandonment of mere
pleasure. However the individ ual may
view Lent, whatever may be his re-
ligious predictions, he can not but be
Influenced to greater or less extent by
the atmosphere of devotion that per-
vades the period, and if not moved by
personal conviction, at least pays re-
spec5ful Difference to the spirit actual
ing the great mass of the people. Thus
Lent finds him an observer of its rest,
if not its austerities, and he gains in
physical and mental recuperation, how.
ever non-affected he may be in spirit
ual sense. Thus is the influence of the
season felt by all. To vast number it
is season when faith is strengthened
and the mind purified and ennobled; to
others it affords that opportunity and
inspiration to serious contemplation
which can not but be productive OF
moral elevation, while to those least in.
fuenced by its presence it brings re.
freshing rest from social demands and
exactions.
To-day the shadows of Lent depart,
and the bright, unclouded sun of Easter
bestows upon the earth its kiss of peace
full benediction; to-day, throughout the
length and breadth of Christendom,
man hears the hosannas of praise and
thanksgiving, and earth, refreshed, pur'
flied and frightened, catches the happy
inspiration of the hour; to-day life takes
up with renewed strength and clearer
mental vision those duties and respon.
sibilities which make it worth the liv-
ing, and the stone is rolled away from
the grave of darkness, doubt, envy and
selishness, in which human hearts and
human minds are frequently and sadly
epulchred.-Boston Budget.

money made such an impression on me

Secretary Noble has good many
! such callers, but is not so tolerant of
them as the Secretary of the Navy. The
Postmastcr-Gcneral is the favorite

his known wealth and extensive
reputation for charity. Not long ago
he went through very trying ordeal.

THINGS THAT WILL NOT DIE.

What an glad will stay when I have passed
From this dear valley of the world and stand
On yon snow glimmering peaks and lingering
cast
From that dim land
A backward look, and haply stretch my hand,
Rcsretful, now the wish comes true at lastH
Sweet strains of music am glad will be
Still wandering down the wind, for men vii
hear
And think themselves from all their care sc.
free,
And Heaven near
When summer stars burn very still and
clear,
And waves Of sound are swelling like the sea
And it is good to know that overhead
Blue skies will brighten, and the sun will
shine,
And flowers be sweet in many garden bed,
And, all divine
(For are they not o Father, thoughts Of
Earth's warmth and fragrance shall on men be
shed.
And am glad that night will always come,
flushing all sounds, even the soft-voiced
birds,
Putting away all light from her deep dome.
Until are heard
In the wide starlight's stiffness, unknown
words,
That make the heart ache till it find its home.
And am glad that neither golden sky,
Nor violet lights that linger on the HILL
Nor oceans wistful blue shall satisfy,
But they shall fill,
With wild unrest and endless longing still,
The soul, whose hope beyond them all must lie.
And rejoice that love shall never seem
So perfect as it ever was to be,
But endlessly that inner haunting dream
Each heart shall see
Hinted in every dawn's fresh purity,
Hopelessly Swallowed in each sunsets CLEAN.
And though warm mouths will kiss and hands
will cling,
And thought by silent thought be understood,
do rejoice that the next hour will bring
That far-off mood
That drives one Ike lonely child to COD
Who only sees and measures every thing.
And 1t is well that when these feet have
pressed
The outward path from earth, twill not
seem sad
To them that stay; but they who love me best
Will be most glad
That such long unqulet now has had,
At last, a gift of perfect peace and rest.

Tho Old Gar and His Doctor.

An interesting story is told in the
Pail Mall Gazette of the manner in
which the celebrated Russian physician,
DR.. Botkin, who has just died in the
south of France, lost the intimate friend
ship of the late Gar, which he had pos
sessed for many years. It appears that
through q serious illness of the present
Emperor DR.. Botkin remained day and
night at the patients bedside, and sue
ceeded after y hard struggle with death
in saving the then Czarowitch. Alex.
ander II. was deeply grateful, and asked
the doctor to choose something with
which he might recompense him. DR..
Botkin replied: "Your Majesty, dc

to some extent the only mourners, and
even their grief is not overwhelming,
for they have had to cut down a great

parting guest whose political ambitions
have been doomed to disappointment"
as the Secretary of Agriculture puts it.
The owner of one of the largest hotels
here told me that he had been forced to
let no less than nine men who had come
here for positions leave without paying
their bills because to his certain
knowledge they had spent all their
money in their dreary walt for the
positions which never came. "Much of
this oftimes sad disappointment" says
Secretary Rusk, els due to political
condition which centralizes the giving
power and makes Government posi-

The Wretched Lot of the Wandering
Children of the Desert.
We saw some Moorish houses in Bis
kra which probably belonged to the
richer and more influential Arab fam
lilies, and were much more comfortable
looking, though all were made of the
same mud and bricks. A group OF
spahis rode past US on their superb
Arab steeds of notified gray, black OF
white, with all the colored trappings
and fringes, deep red leather harness
studded with brass and gilt.
We crossed narrow stream which
irrigates the oasis, and approached the
tents Of the Bedouins, who, on arriving
from the desert the day before, had
pitched their encampment within 8
stones throw of the hotel. What
wretched- looking habitations they were,
and what miserable beings we saw
within! They live in such dirt and
squalor that the neglected donkey.

She could scarcely see her work be-

is unquestionably quite an essential factor
in the makeup Of fashionably attired
lady. But how much more essential to
good looks, and especially to her enjoyment,
IS good health, without which she cannot
look well, feel well or enjoy life properly.
The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air of the illy-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health Of the hardi-
est. Ladies generally possess less powers Of
endurance than their male consorts, and so
the sooner succumb to these deleterious in
fluences: They become pale, haggard and
debilitated, and constantly experience a

Especial Washington Correspondence
"Uncle Jerry"Rusk is philosopher of
no mean order, despite the fact that his
departmental duties have chiefly to do
with seeds and garden sass" as Con-
gresham Martin says. l was in Secretary
Rusk's office the other day when that
dignitary was in a mood both communi-
cative and philosophical. II tell you
what it u.s. said he, pointing impressive
ly at prize onion, this town of Wash
ington has more disconnected people
within its limits than any place of its
size in the world. More people come
here on hopes than 60 to Europe on the
steamers. It's just awful to think of
how many ambitious people come to
Washington and 60 away disappointed
within six months or year after the
installation of new administration.
Why, l know -" here the Secretary's
flow of sympathetic rhetoric was stopped
by the advent of lot of Western farm
ers who wanted to talk "crops" and his
tory, and l lost a valuable "Reminiscences.
The idea that struck Uncle Jerry" is
correct one, and inquiry revealed good
deal about the people who come here
for Ministerial positions or fat Consul
ates and finally 60 away with nothing
or stay to take 5000 clerkship. Wash

THE CENTURY PUZZLE.
A Question Over Which Great Deal o
Argument is Wasted.

A Question Over Which Great Deal Of
Argument is Wasted.
We have reserved for the last Of the
puzzles the century question, which will
never be laid to rest, we be-
lieve as long as the world
stands. We printed $50 proofs of a
former answer, and they have all been
distributed to parties who have quarrel
ed over it. A writer whose initials are
E. E. B. asks us in a letter just to hand
whether the twentieth century begins
with January l, 1900, or January /, 1901,
and declares that of all whom he ad-
dressed for an answer, about half took
one date and half the other. There
should be no question about 1t. This
century ends with the last moment OF
the year 1900, and the next begins Jan
uary 1, 1901.
The middle grows out of the fixed
idea which some people have that the
reckoning of time begins with a cipher,
and that one is counted when the hour,
day, month, or year has closed; whereas
all the counting Of time begins with one,
and at the end of the first period two
begins to count. Thus, when a child is
born, he enters upon the first day of the
first month of the first year of his life.
His ten years are finished, not when he
enters in his tenth year, but at its close;
and his hundred years are completed,
not when the hundredth year is begun,
but ended. When we write 1900 we have
begun the last of the century not ended
it. The centuries do not begin with 0,
100, 200, but with 1O1, POI, and thus the
twentieth century begins with 1901 at
the first moment of that year. The
quoted date comes with the beginning,
not the close of the twelve months; and
therefore while we quote the year 1900
as we do every other year at its begin.
ming, we must wait till it ends to close

remained. A few weeks ago she went
home disappointed to all appearances,
for young man was finally appointed,
whereupon the last one to leave prompt
ly married the young man and they sent
cards to Mr.. Wanamaker day or two
ago.
Not all the office-seekers, however,
come from outside the District of Column
bia. On the contrary, every res ident of
the city looks upon himself or herself as
ward of the Government. There are
over 10000 employees of the Government
in the city of Washington, of which
over 1000 are women.
At least one out of ten of these
women have children and every woman
wants to get her son or daughter into
Government service. With this end in
view they besiege Congressman and
Senators until they succeed. Many of
the residents of Washington have
enough to live on and only want Gov
eminent job to enable them to live
more comfortably. Congressman Joseph
Cannon of Illinois, Butterworth of
Ohio, Spinola of New York and Nc
Kinley of Ohio are the favorite targets
for applicants on account Of their readi-
ness to listen to the stories. On an
average these gentlemen have from six
to ten callers a day who are anxious to
draw salary from the Government. The
local office-seeker cares nothing for
geography and does not bother himself
as to whether or not he is constituent
of the Congressman or Senator TO whom
heapplies.
A great many of the office-seekers
from other towns and distant States
stay until their money is all gone and
then actually beg for tickets to their
homes. Major Moore, the chief of
police, has had dozens of applications
from parties who claim to have been
promised positions under this admins
tration, but who come here only to find
that they must 60 home at their own
expense. The wives of the members of
Congress have the hardest kind of times
with the office-seekers, and now and
then are brought into exceedingly NOR
tifying positions through the nerve of
the female office-hunter. Last week a
woman exceedingly we'll dressed ap-
piled to the wife of Senator for in
ftuence in securing position. She was
to all appearances well-bred and edu-
Gated woman, and, the Senator's wife
not liking to treat her brusquely, took
the trouble to talk to her about the
matter. On the next Senatorial recep-
ton day the woman called and sat
around the parlor until some one spoke
to her, whereupon she spoke of the
hostess most Familiarity, and, some
ladies thinking she was guest of the
Senator's, exchanged cards with her and
invited her to call on them. With that
as start the office-huntress began a
heavy social career, and last week,
