EASTER TIME IN MEXICO.
Pilates Image Burned on Saturday Befor
Eager and Struggling Crowds.

Pilates Image Burned on Saturday BEFORE
Eager and Struggling Crowds.
The people of Mexico are much more
cere,ronious in their observance of reli-
gious festivals than the people of the Unit
ed States. The respect of the more igno-
RAFT is based in sorac measure on an almost
superstitious fear. but even the intelligent
are more earnest in the outward manifes-
tations of their belief than the less pas
sionate people OF the north. Easter is the
most sacred Of the Church festivals in
Mexico. and from the half savage Indian
to the Tealthicst and most highly educated
people of the City of Mexico all observe 1t
with tho ceremonies which have marked
tho season for hundreds of years. These
ceremonies are not confined to Easter Sun
day. The day preceding it is of equal in
terest, if rot OF equal solemnity. On the
Saturday before Easter tho people of Mex
leo burn judas Isca.io5 in efiigy.
In San Francisco street. opposite the
Jockey club, hangs the most pretentious

BY half past II o'clock the windows of

dressed men and women. IL the street be-
low is packed q hungry looking horde OF
ragged MeXicans. AT three minutes be-
fore the noon hour a servant from the
Jockey club appears with a lighted taper
A murInur gees up from the crowd. Then
there is an expcctant hush. At the first
stroke CT neon on the great bell of the
cathedral the fame Of the taper is put to
fuse which hangs from the swinging fig
ure. The mob svays as men struggle for
position. The fame sputtcrs upward to
the mine of powder within the horse. An
explosion sends the fragments of the two
figures flying in all directions, and u show
er of coin falls on the heads of tho strug-
Cling crowd below. Some fight for the nc
coutermeits, some grab at the silver and
roll over and over, tearing ragged clothing
in the struggle for the possession of a coin.
From the burning wreck above the silver
comes down in a lessening shower until
nothing of horse or rider is left. Then
the beggars raise their hands in supplica-
ton to the windows and hartlfuls of coin
are thrown down to them till the specta-
tors have no money left.

ire Gays are long and beautiful.
Devoid of care or fear.
IN the summer of ouu lives
AS in the summer of the year.
Een the storms do not disturb US;
We listen TO the rain
With glad delight and feel no fear
of the rushing hurricane.
we watch the lightnings play with 10Y.
And the thunders heavy roll
Brings only JOY and laughter
To the care-free youthful soul.
Then come the lovely autumn days
The harvest time 50 fair:
The days grow shorter and the brow
Puts on look of care.
Rereavemerts weigh more heavily.
And when the storm sweeps by
We think of sorrow, loss and death
That our souls faith may try
Then come the cold, short winter days,
When grief finds no relief,
And we thank the Heavenly Father
That the days are very brief.
We thank Him, oh so heartily,
That they go swiftly past,
Time cannot heal our sorrows,
But He brings US rest at last.

a CALIFORNIA ZEE VILLAGE.
Where the Honey Is Found That Rivals
the Nectar OF the Gods.

Where the Honey Is Found That Rivals
the Nectar OF the Gods.
The month of May is the carnival of
bee life in California, and at no other
time of the year is the half work. half
play of "bee-ranching" SO wholly fasci-
mating and delightful. After spring
showers are over, a delicious warmth
and fragrance steam up from the cir
cling foothills, where every notch and
byway is choked with towering Wild
wood. The long blooming slopes
stretch sunniiy to fruitful valleys, and
the whole riotous floral zone is voiced
by honey-hunting bees. Their lilli-
putian cities are seen just without the
open arms of canyons, the white hives
arranged with the precision of dwell
ings along the streets. Sometimes
these mimic thoroughfares are shaded
by scattering oaks and sumac, or the
green umbrellas of elderberry bushes,
now fringed with freighted, creamy
clusters. Where there are no indigen-
GUS trees it is not unusual for the
thrifty apiarist to plant grape-vines
and orchard rows between the hives,
which serve the double purpose of
shade and forage. A neighboring bee
ranch is often four to five miles dis
tant, and again this Palestine of the
new world shows leagues on leagues of
ideal pasturage, left solely to the har-
vesting of wild bees and various species
of wasp and humming-bird, or to that
interesting lover of sweets, the Mex
lean honey-ant.
typical western apiary belongs to
the foot-hill region of southern Califor-
mia. Here the atmosphere has that de-
gree of heat and dryness essential to
an abundant saccharine flow, and the
of nectar-bearing plants, the chief of
which are the numerous varieties of
sage. During the blossoming of these
aromatic spikes the amount of honey
stored by strong colonies is almost in
credible. A summers product will
often average rs to 200 pounds a hive,
and instances are not uncommon where
single Italian swarm has produced
l,e00 pounds of extracted honey in
one year. This sage honey has rare
virtues, and is said to be more delect-
able than the famed nectar of Hymet-
tus or Chamouni, and whittier and finer

Apart from indigestion and constipa-
tion--two potent factors in the ruin of
naturally healthy complexion-there
are variety of forms of mismanage
ment which conduce to blotchiness and
pimply deformities. Among them must
be ranked the practice of washing the
face with hot water, a widespread form
of self-indulgence in cold weather. The
hot water, especially when reinforced
by coarse or unduly alkaline soap, re-
moves an unduly large proportion of
the natural fat of the skin, leaving it
with roughened surface which is very
liable to excoriate or "cEap,' and re-
quires twashings keepit clean
owing to it's catching the dust. Moth
ing probably does so much to age the
skin as too frequently repeated ablu-
tions with hot water, and this may ex-
plain why the dainty Frenchwomen
prefers to smear off the CRIME with the
corner of her handkerchief stepped in
glyccrine, knowing by experience that
good, honest soap and water is, in the
long run, detrimental to the preserva-
tion of youthful skin.-Medical Press

ENGlAND'S PREMIER.
Lord Salisbury Is Well Up in Science
Well as Statecraft.

Personally Lord Salisbury is deeply
read and cultured man. He spends a
good deal of time in his laboratory, is
very fond of chemistry, possesses much
practical knowledge of electricity, and
has delivered more than one able adj
dress before such bodies as the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science. lie is not physically rs strong
as he looks, and the immense volume of
work he accomplishes, coupled with
very little exercise, makes him in real
ity somewhat delicate man. In ap-
I,earance he is impressive without be-
ing handsome, and his ordinary de-
mnnor is one of apparent indifference
and aristocratic hauteur. Like him
self in character. his oratory is imperi-
Gus, forcible and effective. At his fa-
nous seat in Hertfordshire-Ha Hatfield
house-Queen Victoria has been more
than once entertained by Lord Sails
bury, as in "a past century his ancestry
entertained Queen Elizabeth, and there
lie thoroughly enjoys, whether in or out
of power. the generous country life
and open hospitality of the historical
and typical fine old English gentle
man."
Taken altogether, the present Eng
lish premier is an extraordinary and in
teresting figure in the politics of this
period. His patriotism is strong and
sincere, but it rests upon the forms of
the constitution and upon loyalty to
the crown rather than upon the mod
ern principle of loyalty to the imme-
date and changeable will of popular
democracy. And Lord Salisbury in
this case undoubtedly embodies the nat
ural hereditary and inherent conserya-
tism of the English people,. Castell
Hopkins, in Chautauquan.
