his pains, his sufferings. have worked

accompanied by lighting the sacred can
die and amounting the image with per-
fume
The principal religious festivals of the
year not only in Egypt, but in Syria,
Phrygia and Greece and, in fact,
throughout the east. were solemnized
at the latter end of autumn and again
at the beginning of spring. Those which
occurred in spring were particularly
characterized by mirth and revelry. The
resurrectiono Adonis, or Thammuz, was
celebrated throughout the east. Julius
Firmicus, in an grafton or address de-
ilvered to the Emperors Constans and
Constantius, cribed these rites In de-
tail. The We .lpers laid an image up
on bed and bewaiied in mournful
songs. After continuing these lnmenta-
tons for nsiderable time light was
brought into the room, and the mouths
OF the mOurners were anointed by the
priests, L. on which the young man i'm
personatlng Adonis gently murmured:
Trust We communicates. The god hav-
Ing been saved, there shall be to us out
Of pain. salvation" In Alexandria the
feast Of the resurrection of Adonis was
observed on the 25th of March in very
much the same way as described by
julius Firmicus, These festivals were
observed in Egypt as late as the year
Az and at Antioch, the ancient capital
OF the Greek kings in Syria, as late as
the year 1868.
Adonis, or Thammuz, had his altar
even In the temple of Jerusalem. Sew

of the liturglcal service employed in
his worship. with the same ceremonies
as in Egypt and elsewhere the Easter
rising Of Adonis was commemorated at
Byblis, In Phmnicla. The ancient Greeks
also celebrated this festival in honor
of the resurrection of Adonis, In the

Every member OF the house of rep
resentatives has the right to appoint a
youth between the ages of IL and 20 to

Where grief fOTgets the tears Il shed
And hopes revive that once were dead,
Where love divine with heavenly glow
Makes the sad heart forget its woe,
And Christ. the risen, sill inspires
With happier thoughts. with pure desires.

Such rest of body. peace OF mindl
Many there be as well as

who hear the busy world go by,
Yet cannot tempt their strnylng feet,
For dcarcr to their hearts by far
Than all allurcments of the world

Even before the advent of Christian

the springtimc by elaborate religious
ceremonies. These festival occasions
universally commemorated the god or
savior of the people who held 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 his
worship were celebrated in the latter
part Of March. The body of young

THOSE CUBAN LAND CRABS.
Most Unlovely Critters Entirely Unknown
in This Country Use Captain
Muller Made of One of Them,

The boys back from the Cuban front
have had more or less to say about a
specimen of the crustacean family
whose acquaintance they had never
made before, namely, the festive land
crab. These charming creatures range
in size from the little "fddlers" no.
ticed along the sea shore, to the larg-
est size of water crab. They are scut-
tling, awkward critters that smell
worse than bed bug and feed on car
rion, the possession of which they dis
pute with the buzzards. The larger
crabs are quite heavy and make as
much noise going through the under
brush as burro. They slip-slop along
sidewise, and are about as graceful in
their movements as a duck with cork
leg.
The crabs are not known to have Bit
ten live persons, but they will quick
ly attack a corpse, and a number of
dead soldiers We're mutilated by them
ere the 'varmint' could be driven off or
killed. A good blow from stick will
crush in their shells and lay them out.
Captain Muller caught hold of big
crab one night, and laid it on sleeping
comrade. The crab crept up the sleep
er's body until upon his chest, when the
trooper awtoke. The first thing he saw
in the moonlight was this horrible thing
creeping up towards his face. The
trooper gave one wild Shrek and leaped
about 10 feet into the air, alarming the
entire camp. He thought the author OF
all evil had got hold of him, and was
duly and deeply impressed. 1t was some
time before he was calmed down, and
his fellow troopers accused him OF hav-
ing seen snakes until the crab was
found, and then it was concluded he
had Just occasion for his fright.

where the G. "A. R. conducted the SER
vices according to their impressive
ritual. H. Hase, of albuquerque,

The Rough Rider squad discharged three

rangement of the funeral, undertakers
Wagner and Warner conducted that
part Immediately in their line, and every
