A Touching Ceremony.
Nowhere is Easter celebrated with more
pomp and ceremony than at the various
courts of the old world, even the Protes-

o~bservances that originated in medieval
times with the fathers of the Roman Cath
Ollie church. Thus in England the old Gus
tom of distributing to the poor what is
known as the royal maundy" takes
place in Westminster abbey on each Thurs
day of holy week, on which day the Off

to begin all over Europe. Royal pageants

during the three years he was engaged
in the surveys and later on found it very
profitable to acquire large tracts of wild
land in the then uninhabited but fertile
valleys. He came in contact with rude
and hostile squatters as we'll as bands of
rowing Indians, and the knowledge he
gained of the inhabitants and the nature
of the debatable ground on the frontier
made him a most valuable man to the
colony. 1t was not long before he had

CHAPTER V.
AS AN EXPLORER

We have seen young Washington en-
gagged in various vo%cations, but particu-
larly employed in surveying the un-
broken wilderness and acquainting him
self with it's topography and with the
wild and semisavage inhabitants of that
region which, but a little later, was to
be the theater of the long and bloody

Incidental to this employment he
abundantly equipped himself. in this
severe struggle with the forces Of nature,
for a far more important contest with
the enemies of his beloved province.
That great contest had now begun
between the French and English for
supremacy on the continent of North
America. The only settlements at that
time were along the Atlantic coast and
in the eastern and northeastern portions
of this vast domain. AS yet the mag
nificent region beyond the Alleghanies
was almost unknown and occupied only
by the red Indians. But the French,
farseeing and sagacious, had allied with
themselves the more important of the
Indian tribes and aimed to connect Their
widely separated outposts on the st.

Lawrence and at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi by a line of forts which should

tains and the sea.
It was in October, 1853, that DIM
widdie, the governor of Virginia, sought
for a commissioner to send with a mes
sage to the French commander, then in
trenched near the south shore of Lake
Erie, calling his attention to the viola
tion of treaty obligations and notifying
him to desist from a farther advance
into territory claimed by the English
crown. After it had been vainly offered
to several it was at last accepted by
Washington, at that time but 81 years
of age.
He was then no penniless adventurer,
dependent upon his labors Or his sword
for a subsistence, but a gentleman of
good standing, allied with some of the
best families of Virginia and now po.-
sessed, through accession Of his fathers
bequest, of considerable property. But,
such was his valiant nature, his high
courage and his devotion to what he
considered his duty, that he at once
closed with the offer and set out upon
his perilous journey.

This was the first, last and only time
he was eve outside the limits OF the
American colonies. Within those
bounds, later in his military life, he
travelled often and far, but the extent of
his wanderings was circumscribed. Like
the old stagecoach driver who had driv-
an 40 years owe the same road four
times a day, he could claim TO be a
great trayeler--in one county.
He was so unfortunate as to be ex-
posed to the smallpox, which he took in

nearer or farther from the equinox.
In the prayer book of the English church
the following is given as a rule to find
Easter: "Easter day is always the first
Sunday after the full moon which happens
upon or next after the 21st day of March,
and if the full moo happen upon a Sun
day Easter day Is the Sunday after"
About the year A. D.. 1853 a controversy
arose as to the date of Easter which divided
all Christendom. This difference arose
originally between the churches of Asia
Minor and the then so called churches of
the west, the former insisting on keeping
Easter the sam day as the Jews kept
their Passover. Toward the end of the
century the discussion became SO violent
that Victor, the bishop of Rome, issued
an apostolic canon decreeing that "if any
bishop, priest or deacon celebrated the
holy feast of Easter before the vernal
equinox, as the Jews do, let him be de-
posed"
In the fourth century matters had gone
to suc a length that the Emperor Con-
stantine thought it his duty to allay the
controversy. So he got an ecclesiastical
canon passed that Easter should be OBJ
served on one and the same day, but the
controversy continued until A. D.. 664,
Wnen OsWy, KING OF N|ortnulnDrla, ueter-
mined to take the matter in hand and called
a conference, at which he himself presided
Colman, bishop Of Lindisfarne, represented
the British church, while Agilbert, bishop
of Dorchester, headed the Romish party.
After much discussion the king finally de-
cided the question in favor of the present
existing method of keeping Easter, and
from that day to his the date of Easter
has depended upon the moons changes.
All the movable feasts and fasts of the
year depend upon Easter. The nil Sun
days before and the eight after depend upon
it, and form, as it were, a sort of body
guard to this queen of religious festivals.

Signs of Brain Exhaustion.

An alarmist doctor says that when a
person begins to have doubts about the
spelling of common words. to write an
unnaturally small hand that shows a
tendency to waver above and below q
straight line and to grasp the pen with
unnecessary force, especially at the end
of a long word, then that person is suf-
fering from brain exhaustion and ought
either to take a complete rest or else to
find work of an altogether new and diff.
ferent kind. San Francisco Wave.

tie later, through the resignation of his
brother Lawrence, the appointment as
adjutant of the state militia, with the
rank of major.
Both in the field, where be passed the
summer time, and at Mount Vernon,
where his winters were spent, young
Washington met men versed in military
science, and from two of them at least,
who had served in the West Indies with
his brother, he took lessons in the art of
war, becoming proficient i'll the military
manual and expert i'll the use Of the
sword.

When the Marquis of Winchester,
lord high treasurer, was presented
with a copy of this book by the au-

However, he did not intermit his en-

shrewd observations upon everything
that came within range of his vision
and experience.
Lawrence obtained no benefit from
this voyage and returned to his home,
on the bank of the Potomac, about mid
summer, 1859, only to expire in the
arms of his wife. His confidence in
George was shown after his death, when
it was found that he had been appointed
one of the executors of his will and was
to inherit his estate of Mount Vernon in
the event of the death Of his infant
daughter, an only child. This daughter
died the following year, and thus George
Washington became sole owner of the
beautiful estate at Hunting creek, which
has ever since been and will continue
forever linked with his glorious name
and the happiest years of his life.
