"rhs Girl From paris.'

After months Of the most earnest.

record Of more than 1000 nights at the
Duke of York's theatre and 300 nights

1.-The Girl from Paris is Edward T..
Rice's latest production and is scintil-
liant with the brightest lines and the
most laughable situations and Incidents.
1t is a performance that has every
thing possible in it's makeup to amuse.
Besides being musical comedy with a
story that is always consistent with
the happenings, it's dialogue is crisp
and entirely unconventional and laugh
ter permeates the performance in the
most pronounced manner. Add to this
pot-pourri of merriment e!aborat scenic
pictures, staged with all the lavishness
so characteristic of Edward e, Rice
who never does anything that is not a
prodigious scale. The music of ..Thc
Girl from Paris" is one of the most at
tractive features.
The characters in '"The Girl from,
Paris" are so numerous and so distinct
that every member of the cast stands
out prominently. Then, too. there are
several beautiful and effective ballets
and very large choruses of ladies and
gentlemen, and an augmented orches-
ira under the direction of Mr. John
Braham. Among the most prominent
players are Fred Lennox, d. l.. Don.

Queen Of the Festivals.

Among the numerous festival days Of
the churches is that of Easter. The
early Christians held that the Christ, the
true paschal lamb, had been slain on the
very day when the Jews in the celebra-
ton Of their Passover inundated the
fgurative lamb. The history Of the cru
ci6xion and the resurrection connects
them both with the Jewish feast Of the
Passover. "Now thef feast Of unleavened
bread drew nigh, which is called the
Passover, Luke, xxii, /. "Christ our
Passover is sacrificed Tor u.s. therefore
let us keep the feast; not with the old
leaven, neither with the lesven OF malice
and wickedness; but with the Unleavened
bread Of sincerity and truth" u Cor,
v, Z. "Christ being raised from the
dead, dleth no more" etc. Rom, vi, 8.
So, Christians Of modern times Cele-
brate Easter as a life-giving festival, a
day, time, an occasion full Of sugges-
tions Of liie-new life. Christ the risen
Lord has conquered death. He brought
life and Immortality to light through the
Gospel. The day comes to us in the
spring time, when natures forces are
pushing out myriads Of new life-forms,
when the air is full Of cheer, when chill.
dren are glad and play with the lamb
kins and sing with the birds.
For long time the particular day on
which the Easter festival should be cele-
brated was in doubt. Afterfull discussion
the question was finally settled for the
whole church by adopting the rule which
makes Easter day to be always the first
Sunday after the full moon which hap
pens upon or next after March 81; and if
the full moon happen on a Sunday,
Easter day is the Sunday after. By this
arrangement Easter may come as early
rs March q, or as late as April 25.

tion will naturally assist it's extension for
mental training, and the combined effect
should be highly beneficial. Experience
teaches that 80 far from physical culture
and manual training interfering with
the mental development Of the child,
they really aid in it. The time devoted
to such exercises is found, in practice,
not to be lost and not to retard progress
in the purely mental processes. Instead,
it adds to the mental study the valuable
objective analysis, without which alb
stract problems are frequently iucompre-
hensible. 1t will be we'll il both physical
and industrial training is encouraged
and largely introduced in all of our

In the Oceans Depths.

From the Nineteenth Century.
The temperature at the bottom of the
ocean is nearly down to freezing point,
and sometimes actually below it. There
is a total absence OK light, as far as sun
light is concerned, and there Is an enor-
nous pressure, reckoned at about one
ton to the square inch in every 1000
fathoms, which is 100 times greater than
that Of the atmosphere we live in. At
$500 fRthoms the pressure is thirty times
more powerful than the steam pressure
Of locomotive when drawing a train.
As late as 1880 a leading zoologist ex-
planned the existence of deep-sea animals
at such depths by assuming that their
bodies we're composed of solids and
liquids Of great density, and contained
no air. This, however, is not the case
with deep sea fish, which are provided
with air-inflated swimming bladders., If
one Of these fish, in full chase after it's
prey, happens to ascend beyond certain
level, it's bladder becomes distended with
the decreased pressure, and carries it, in
spite Of all its efforts, still higher In its
course. In fact, members of this unfor-
tunate class are liable to become victims
to the unusual accident of falling up
ward, and no doubt meet with violent
death soon after leaving their accustomed
level, and long before their bodies reach
the surface in q distorted and unnatural
state. Even ground sharks, brought up

Bananas Baked Are Best for Food.


Crichton Campbell tells the readers of

"One cent will buy good-sized banana

three bananas weighing one pound are
equal in nourishment to twenty-six

Bananas should never be eaten raw;
they are full Of animal germs, and are
productive to tspe.worm. Raw bananas
are very indigestible. Youngsters fed on
raw bananas nearly always suffer from

vulsions. Physicians call such children

A MOraylan Easter Custom.

Clifford Howard in Ladies' Home Journal
No more divinely appropriate express
sion Of the Moravisns' love Of music and
their appreciation of it's inspiriting power
is to be found than in their sublime an
nuncistion of the Resurrection day.
Through the quiet streets [of Bethle-
hem, Pennsylvania in the early morn,
the trombonists walk from place to
place, pouring forth their grand, inspir-
ing anthem that arouses the slumbering
town to the welcome knowledge of the
advent OF this glorious day. Now here,
now there, now everywhere the lights
appear within the windows Of the dwell
ings, and the streets are thronged with
people, young and old, vending their
way from all directions toward the
church, and greeting one another with
loving salutations Of the day. The
Easter service is begun within the church
and is continued there until the bright
ening sky announces the advent of the
dawn. Then, in slow procession, sub
dued and reverent, the people pass with
out the doors, and, headed by the
trombonists, solemnly ascend the wind
ing hill to their beloved and quaint old
burying ground. Within the closure of
this consecrated spot the congregation
assemblies and stands in large semi.
circle facing the eastern hill in fond
anticipation Of the emblem of it's cher
ished faith. A little apart stand the
ministers and the trombone choir. Thus
assembled, the service Of song and re-
sponsive readings, begun in the church,
is continued. A sense of deep, religious
awe pervades the gathered throng as on
this cold, gray morning Of the early
spring they await, in spiritual communion
with their departed loved ones, the Res
direction hour. Above the hill the
dawning light appears. Then from the
voices Of the assembled host there bursts
a melody at rsptured song, a heartfelt

hymn OF praise and alteration, sponta-

and mingling with the full, resounding

onant trombones, arises with the warbling
song OF joyous birds in glad hozannas to
the splendent sky. For seel radiant

Higher Education of Women.
rom the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
1t may be doubted whether these uni
versities that have opened their courses
to women and yet have refused to place
women on their faculties have not done
more to retard than to advance the
higher education of that sex, for their
expressed or tacit assent to the doctrine
that women are incapable of professional
work derives added force from their ad-
mission that women students have, as
successfully as men, made all the prepa-
ration and passed all the approved tests
of fitness for such work.
