ter Sunday Is celebrated with elaborate
ceremonies. The day is ushered in by
the firing of cannon from the castle OF
st. Angelo. and about seven o'clock
carriages with ladies and gentlemen
are beginning to pour toward St. Pc
ter's. That magnificent basilica Ia
richly ornamented and the lights
around the tomb and figure of st. Pc
ter are blazing after their temporary
extinction. According to usage, the
Pope ofhciates this day at mass in st.
Peters, and he does so with every i'm"
posing accessory that can be devised.
From hall in the adjoining palace OF
the Vatican he is. borne into the
church, under circumstances OF the ut
most splendor. Seated in his Sedia
Gestatoria, his vestments blaze with
gold; on his head he wears the tiara,
tall round gilded cap representing
triple crown. which is understood to
signify spiritual power. temporal pow
er and the union of both. Beside him
are borne tho "flabelli," or large fans,
composed Of ostrich feathers, in which
are set the eye-like parts of peacock's
feathers, to signify the eyes or vigil
lance OF the church. Over him is borne
silk canopy richly fringed. After
officiating at mass at the high altar
the Pope is with the same ceremony
and to the sound OF music borne back
through the crowded church to the bal
cony over the central doorway. There
rising from his chair of state and en-
vironed by his principal officers. he
pronounces a benediction, with indul-
gence and absolution. This is the most
imposing of all the ceremonies at
Rome at this eason. The crowd is
most dense Immediately under the bal
cony at which the Pope appears, for
there papers are thrown down contain
ing copy of the prayers that have
been uttered, and ordinarily there is
scramble to catch them. On the even
ing of Easter Sunday the dome and
other exterior parts of st. Peters are
beautifully illuminated with lamps.

When the appetite fails there Is no use in
trying TO tempt the palate with delicate food
No matter how good and well-cooked and
"appetizing" the food may be, il cannot
give any nourishment unless the stomach is
able TO digest il. Nature indicates the state
OF the constitution by the loss of appetite.
This is an unfailing indicator. 1t shows
that something is fundamentally wrong
with the nutritive functions.
The only true natural relief must be as
searching and fundamental as the trouble it
aims to overcome. IL is the thorough deep
searching character of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which causes the mar
velous efficacy in all bilious and digestive
difficulties. II creates that healthful vitality
of the entire digestive and nutritive organ
ism which produces both the natural desire
for food and the organic capacity to assimi-
late and transform il into nourisliing. rcviv-
flying blood and healthy tissue. II gives
appetite, digestion and sound sleep, and
builds up solid muscular strength and
vital nerve energy.

the Easter fire. II would he curious
to trace in how far the holy lamp used
in Catholic churches is the offspring
OF vestal fire; however. this at least
appears evident, that the igneous SUI
perstitions common to paganism i'm
perceptibly crept into Christian OBJ
scrvanCes. And these superstitions
must have made violent inroads among
our Christian predecessors. since it be-
came necessary for the Sixth General
Assembly of the Church, which was
held in the year csc, under Constan-
tine Pogonatus, to prohibit "the prac-
tice of fighting fires in front of the
houses or shops and jumping over
them at the time of the new moon"
The Easter fire in particular. which
has not fallen into disuse even in our
own times. in some parts of the south
of Germany, is probably OF pagan ORR
gin, and its institution. like that of so

seems not to have been altogether
foreign to sound policy. for the most
respectable bishops had persuaded
themselves that the ignorant rustics
would more cheerfully renouuce the
superstitions of paganism if they found
some resemblance. some compensation,
in the bosom of Christianity. The old
chronicles record a twofold celebra-
ton of the Easter fire, the one held
within and the other outside the sa-
cred edifice.
On Easter Eve 1t was usual for the
Jews to make a bonfire in the open
air, into which all ieavened bread was
cast In Jerusalem at the present day
ceremony is performed which is
called the Miracle OF the Easter
Fire" The Latin churches have not
taken part in this ceremony for the
last three hundred years. The Roman
Catholics protest against it, and 1t is
now managed entirely by the Greek
and other churches of the Orient.
with the Greeks.
The Greeks say that the miracle has
been celebrated ever since the days of
the Apostles. Most of the pilgrims OF
the Eastern churches believe that the
fire actually comes down from heaven,
and that they are able to ignite their
candles from flames sent by God. This
holy fire appears precisely at two
o'clock in the afternoon every Easter
Saturday in the tomb Of the Holy Sc
pulchre. All the lights of the church
have been put out beforehand, and the
people stand for hours and wait for the
holy fire. There are holes in the walls
of the sepulchre itself, and through
these candles are passed to the Patri-
arch OF Jerusalem, who is inside. He
lights them with the sacred flame and
hands them out burning. Other can
dies are lighted from these, and mes
sengers, running. carry the holy fire
all over Palestine, to Bethlehem and
to Nazareth, to the Sea of Galilee and
to the different parts of the earth
from which the pilgrims come. The in
