EASTER
BEFORE
CHRIST.
lConyrign1. 1888

t0OpyilSbl, 1901
Even before the advent of Christian
ity Eastern nations had long observed
the Springtime by elaborate religious
ceremonies. These festival occasions
universally commemorated the god or
savior of the people who commem-
Grated them.
In Persia, Mithras, the savior and
mediator between god and man, was
believed to have risen from the dead,
and the mysteries connected with MS
worship were celebrated in the latter
part OF March. The body of young
man apparently dead was exhibited to
be restored to life. The priests watch
ed his tomb until midnight with loud
cries and in darkness when all at
once the lights burst forth from all
parts and the priests cried: "ReJo1ce,
o sacred initiated, your god has
risen. His death, his pains, his suffer
ings, have worked our salvation.
These ceremonies were accompanied
by lighting the sacred candle and an
ointing the image with perfume.
The principal religious festivals OF
the wear not only in Egypt, but in
SYRIA, Phrygia, and Greece, and, IN
fact throughout the East, were sol
emnized at the latter end of autumn
and again at the beginning of spring.
Those which occurred in spring were
particularly characterized by mlrth
and revelry. The resurrection OF
Adonis, or Thammuz, was celebrated
throughout the East. julius flrmlcus'

WAS A BOY FIEND.
Shocking Career of Francis Paget Car
lin---Genius Allied to a Demons
Cruelty Fatally Injured While in
an Insane Passion.

Victoria, B. c., April 2-The death
of Francis Paget Carlin, aged Is, is the
finish of one of the worst young lives
ever known in this section Of the
country.
The son Of wealthy landlord, near
this city, young Carlin, when little
more than baby, began to develop
most extraordinary talents in art, mu-
sic, and language, and at the age of
10, he played the guitar, violin, and
piano, drew excellent crayon portraits,
and spoke French, Italian, and German
fluently.
At first a handsome boy With low
able disposition, he gradually became
irritable, and finally developed q spirit
of cruelty and hatred whica made him
the horror Of the neighbornood. His
first serious offense was the vivisec-
ton OF small dog, which had been
his pet and playmate slice babyhooi,
and which was found mangled, moan
ing, and still alive in a gully, mile
from the house. Afterwards he trap
ped robins and sparrows, and cut them
up while still alive. Finally he de-
coyed a small cousin to the woods,
tied him on an altar, and proceeded to
initiate the patriarch Abraham, with
keen butcher knife. Happily, how
ever, passing farne- Leard the VIC
TINS cries, and rescued him in the
nick Of time These, however, were
only few O. the boy atrocities.
The elder Carlin, who is Presby-
terrain, and an excellent parent, was
Mortified at his sons weakness, but
prayers. advice, and chastisement were
alike in vain, and at last in despair he
consigned him to the reformatory.
There he surpassed all the other in
mates. both in work and study, but
his propensity for torture was I'M
abated. On numerous occasions he
was discovered Remembering flies,
spiders, beetles, and other insects, and
at last one day having caught young
bluejay. he actually tore it to pieces.
In consequence of this he was SEN
fenced to be fiogged, but when the
guards were taking him from the cell
to the Fairgrounds he broke from
them, dashed upstairs, and with a
scream, threw himself out of a second
story window.
That occurred over year ago. The
boy recovered in part from the in
| ternal injuries resulting from the fall
and was sent home, but he grew weak
er, until death at last superyened
There is little doubt that but for
| the LADS cruel disposition he would
have risen to eminence in at least one
of the arts for which he showed such
remarkable and precocious talent

The play of the ace and the return
of the queen marks B with no more
clubs, because under no other circum-
stances would partner so play on
ten lead. A, therefore, wins the trick
in order to lead trumps, trusting to
his guarded spade king for re-entry.
A is compelled to finesse the nine OF
trumps returned by his partner, be-
cause B cannot have the king, and II
z held it he would probably play 1t
on the second round. The finessse IS
against Y's holding the jack also.
If A had not finessed the trump at
trick A, he would have been unable
to catch rs jack at trick 8, and SO
bring in the clubs, but would have been
compelled to let Y and 2 make their
trumps separately on the club suit,
which would lose two tricks at least.
