A Moving Mountain.

II has been known for many years
that m enormous mass of rock on the
Cascades Of the Columbia River in
Oregon, large enough to be dignihed
with the name OF mountain, is slowly
changing posit!"n. We translate the
following description of the phenome-
non from Cosmos, Paris. cit consists
OF a ridge Of brown basalt with three
SUBMITS, 10 to ~ lcilometers long and
rising about GOO meters above the level
of tho river. The idea that this mass
is in movement is certainly the last
that would occur to the traveller pass
ing it, and nevertheless nothing is
more certain the whole mass is being
displaced slowly, but without pause,
descending toward the river and show
ing an intention of damming it some
day OF other, and 80 Of forming great
lake extending ffom the Cascades to
the Dalles. In this movement of trans
lation and descent il has already sub
merged part of the forests that line its
base the engineers of the railway that
skirts the mass have proved that the
line is continually pushed toward the
river and that in several years it has
been moved two and one-hali to three
meters. Biologists attribute the
phenomenon to the fact that the basalt
that forms the nucleus OF the mast
rests on soft strata through which
water constantly percolates, thu
swapping the mountain under its base
They think, also, that these strata
even without the aid of water, would
probably give away little by little
beneath the mass with which they ar
| loaded"

How Horses Sleep.

When the horse sleeps, one ear is
directly forward, why it is.not known.
A naturalist thinks this is to guard
against danger, being a survival of
their original wild habits. He says
swatch horse asleep through the
window of his stable, and make faint
noise to the front. The ear will be all
attention, and probably the other will
fly round sharply to assist. Now let
him go to sleep again, and make the
same noise on one side. The forward
ear will keep his guard, with possibly
a lightning flick round, only to re.
sumo its former position. New York

A very untidy and reprehensible per-
son hurried up the steps of big house
early Sunday morning. Her hair was
untidy, and her shoes were run down at
the heel. She talked to herself, too-a
disgraceful habit.
"Hot coffee and two eggs Yes, the
two eggs for Easter" she whispered as
she rang the bell. Her eyes shone. A

the door, The woman smiled eagerly.

The untidy woman went down the

poses, Tor the consecratlon OF the metro
politan and the coronation of the czar.
The making of the myro, as the oil is
called, begins on the Monday morning
of Passion week. The metropolitan AZ
tends at tho sacristy of the patriarchs in
Moscow, lights a fire, pours i'll gallon
and reads the gospel, and after this the
oil is kept boiling for three days and
nights, while monks stand over and stir
it with silver ladies.
The final ceremony takes place when
the oil is put into two silver caldrons
upon a porcelain stove and stirred with
silver ladies by six deacons in vestments
of black and silver. In the center of the
room is large silver vase, the gift of
Empress Catherine II, and into this the
chrism is poured to receive the bene-
diction. At the side are placed num-
Der of smaller silver vases in which the
oil is eventually sent away. People at
tend in crowds to dip bits of cotton wool
in the holy mixture. On Holy Thursday
there is procession from the sacristy
to the Cathedral of the Assumption with
the oil vases, and mass is said by the
metropolitan. In the intervening years,
when there IL no making of the myro,
that ceremom! is replaced by the wash
ing of the feet of the poor.

AN EASTER FLOWER.
BY BENJAMIN NoRTHRUP.

copyright, 1885, by American Press Associa-
ton.
Just out of the city there is long
winding road which takes you over the
low hills to the sands on the beach.
A brackish stream of tide water crosses
the road, which is spanned by stone
bridge. No one now living was born
when this bridge was built 1t is crack
cd with age stained and moss covered,
and in the crevices grass, flowers and
tiny shrubs grow. On some of the stones
a wandering missionary has painted
signs praising God and calling upon the
wicked to repent before it is too late.
Over the widest crevice this is painted:
''Blessed are the pure in heart for
they shall see God"
Under this in little grotto some blue
violets had grown, snugly sheltered
from the sun and storm.
1t was late in May or early in June
when she came over the cracked stone
bridge ON her way to the beach. She
had never been in the country before.
She had been in the park once, but that
was when she was very small child,
and sho had forgotten almost how it
looked
Undor the shades of the old bridge
the children of the Fresh Air fund stop
ped for luncheon, and she and the other
little girls took off their shoes and stock
ings and padded in the creek. After the
sandwiches and apples, doughnuts and
cakes, she found the violets and dug
them out. She had never seen anything
SO beautiful before. They were prettier
than all the Easter flowers in the east
side shop windows, and they smelled
sweeter. Besides that, she herself had
found them, and they were her own.
All afternoon, while the other chill
dren played in the sands, she played
with her violets, picking the soft black
earth from their roots to see how small
and pink they were, and opening and
closing the half blown buds to see the
fresh blue hid under the green Shells
If some older girl who knew all about
the country and wild flowers, this being
her second summer in the Fund, if this
experienced girl had not told her that
violets cannot stand such prying treat
ment, they never would have lived to
reach the town.
1t is not far from down Rye way at
the stone bridge to down Battery way
at the sea wall. Two hours. That is all
If you take fast train, and violets will
live long time when you bury their
roots in moistened earth and let the bios.
SONS alone. Therefore, when she reach
ed her home in Battle Court, the flowers
were as almost fresh and sweet as they
were in their grotto in the bridge.
A cracked stone pitcher became their
new home. and on pleasant days they

and looked down Oh the stone tagged

''The Destruction of the Poor Is Their Pow

Christ is risen.
He is risen indeed.

A little pot of mignonette stood in
the window of a crowded tenement. A
poor woman bent over it and tenderly
plucked withered leaf from its fresh
green crown. The sun shone gayly on
the blue bay, and the woman stood
watching the little CLINT of dancing wa
ter she could just see between the houses.
She put tiny sprig of the faded mi
gnonette in her faded dress and took
down her shabby bonnet. Then she
walked as far as she could to get good
breath of fresh air. She passed church
door standing open and heard burst
of music. So she wandered timidly in
and sat humbly down in quiet corner.
The altar was fair with flowers. The
woman drew deep breath of delight
when she saw the lilies.
A man took hold of her arm. you're
in some ones pew" he said roughly.
The woman rose nervously. "I'm
sorry" she stammered "Where arc the
free seats?"
'"There amt no free seats in this
church," sneered the man.
The woman hurried out She put her
thin hands upon the bunch of mignon-
cite. The clergyman was announc-
ing his text. She just heard it as she
passed through the swinging doors:
"He was despised, rejected, man of
sorrow and acquainted with grief"

every pew was filled, and there were
chairs in the aisles. These were filled,
too, and back of them all men and wo-
men stood. The front pews in this
church are given up on Easter day to
the poor of the parish. The children
from the orphanage and the capped and
bonneted women from the Aged Ones
home filled several rows on the right,
and on the left were the men and wom-
en- and children who ON ordinary Sun
days sit far back under the gallery over
the vestibule. They teach that Gods

the church like the strain of a band
marching at the head of an army into

After the service came the sermon.
The preacher was an old man, with
white, silken hair. You have seen skein
of silk on cold day. The threads stand
out, one apart from the other. That is
the way his fine white hair stood out
from his head. 1t was like a nimbus
frosted. His voice was low and soft and
sweet. He had sung as treble in that
choir 80 years before. Then he was a
tenor, and now for more than 80 years
he had been the rector.

Symbolism of the Lily.

In tho middle ages the whito lily came
to be considered by the church tho especial
emblem of heavenly purity. 1t was dedi-
Gated to tho Virgin Mary. Its cup became
the model of the consecrated silver chalice,
and nearly 100 saints claimed it for their
emblem. Painters often placed it in the
Madonna's hands in their representations
of that most fond and precious ideal of
ancient art, ana its use in the festival of
the annunciatiOn gave to it the name of
annunciation lily. The stately dignity
and chaste and inviolate purity of the
flower made it especially appropriate.
Transferred from earlier to the later re-
ligion, from pagan temple to convent,
cloister, cathedral and church, 1t has gain
ed In significance in the transition and
breaches OH Easter morning and at all
other times a gospel of beauty and love
free from all egotism, full of wholesome
piety snd charity and rich with eternal
purity and hope.

ter day for 30 long years.
That is the way the sermon began.
"Christ, my children, rose from the
dead on Easter day, but before he rose
he died. Some day we may rise and
join him in everlasting glory in para
disc but before we shall rise from the
dead we must die We all must die, but
when? Shall we be prepared when our
summons comes? Are we prepared to
die now? Yes, now. Why not? We
know not when our time shall come.
Every Easter day for one long genera
tion l have repeated this warning as I
do today. And among those who heard
me there were many who were not alive
to hear me on the following year. Some
of you must die before next Easter day.
When death comes to you, will you be
unprepared? Shall the blood of him who
died that we might live alway be shed
in vain in even one sinlge instance? This
u-alone-to-say."
Even the choir listened to this The
boys stopped fidgeting, and the men
sat very still. The woman in black look
ed at the bunch of violets ON the altar,
and tears fell upon her gloves.
That was what he said, although he
used more words then have done and
took a longer time to say it, and after
he left the pulpit and Joined the assist
ant ministers back of the chancel rail
there were more wet eyes than the
washerwoman' in that great church,
and there were many promises made for
the coming year that the makers will
not live to keep.
Early Easter Monday the ladies of the
Altar guild were again at work. The
flowers which had been lent for the fes-
tival were returned to their owners. The
chancel stairs were thronged with serv-
ing men and maids waiting to carry
them home. The other f1owers-the cut
stalks from the florists, the bouquets
from the hothouses and the little bunch
of wild violets-were taken away in a
wagon to hospital. The sick have their
Easter on Monday.
1t was in long white foored ward.
Near the end of it stood an iron cot by
window. This was Jim's cot. Jim
was newsboy before street Car had
cut off one of his legs. Before that he
had been in the Fresh Air fund, and he
loved the country with love that the
real country boy never dreams of until
he has grown to be city man.
They carried down this long ward
these fine flowers from the Easter altar
roses, orchids, lilies and still more
roses. Their fragrance made the air
neavy, and the lame boy turned his face
toward the window.
After all had been distributed a
nurse brought to him spray of wild
violets. They were all that was left.
He took them in his hands and pressed
them to his lips. Then he said some
thing about the country SO low that the
nurse couldn't catch it and fell asleep.
