THE OBSERVANCE OF EASTER.
Discrepancy In Computing the Date
Was Not Correcled Until 1872.

The observance of Easter dates back
to about the year IS, at which time there
was much contention among the Eastern
and Western churches as to what day
the festival shoald be observed. 1t was
finally ordained at the Council of Nice in
the year 525 that it must be observed
throughout the Christian world on the
same day. This decision settled that
Easter should be kept upon the Sunday
first after the fourteenth day OF the first
Jewish month, but no general conclusion
was arrived at as to the cycle by which
the festival was to be regulated, and
some churches adopted one rule and some
another. This diversity of usage was put
an end to, and the Roman rule making
Easter the first Sunday after the four
teenth day of the calendar moon was es-
tablished in England in 669. After nine
centuries a discrepancy in the keeping
of Easter was caused by the authorities
of the English hurch declining to adopt
the reformation of the Gregorian Ca1en-
dar in 1852. The difference was settled in
1852 by the adoption of the rule which
makes Easter Day always the first Sum
day after the full moon which appears
on or next after the t~wenty-frst day of
March. If the full moon happens upon a
Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after

REALISM THA7 KILLED
Strange Fatality of the
Magic Bullet Catch
ing Trick.
BLACK ART IN DIPLOMACY
How Houdin Captiyated the Snip
erstitious Arabs-Tragic Death
of a Magician.

The most sensational of all stage tricks
is that of catching bullets shot from guns.
A series of strange fatalities has brought
such exhibitions into disrepute, however,
and they may be wholly discontinued. In
performing the startling act Robert Hou-
din used a mechanical pistol by which the
bullet, after the weapon had been loaded,
would drop into his hand. Hermann re-
lied upon a tray which was supplied with
a false bottom. With great dezterity be
would invariably substitute composition
bullets, which were blown TO atoms, for
the real ones which disappeared through
the false bottom of the tray.
Houdin employed this Illusion most sue
cessfully in bis diplomatic mission to Al
geria, in which he was employed by the
French government to undermine If posi-
Bile the supremacy which the marabouts,
by their pretended miracles, had acquired
over the minds of the superstitious Arabs.
This method of doing the bullet trick had
one bad failing-the pistol could not be

cape and parasol alike as far as the guam
titles of chiffon puts and rufles are tom
cerned.
The beau5iful leghorn hats promised US
for the last three months are now on view.
They are trimmed mostly with great fluffy
plumes in light tints and a little fine lace,
or they may have a few loops and a bit of
drapery Of very rich white, pale green or
tan ribbon and quantities of roses. Al
though other hats are covered almost to
complete extinction with all sorts Of flow
ers, no other flower than roses seems to be
suitable for the fine leghorns.
On the rough basket and porcupine
straws there are many wings and quilts
and other fancy ornaments seen. Some ct
these are spangled and frosted. Cne hat
Of black straw had a wide effect given by
a half wreath of shaded double yellow
marigolds put across tho back and q full
frilling Of black silk null around the
front. Another had black silk null plait-
ed up with three shades of the same in
yellow and a long bird of paradise plume.
These paradise plumes are seen quite Of
ten-so often that one wonders il some
means has not been devised to initiate
those rare plumes.
A stylish hat of magpie straw had q
doubled ruffie of sea green silk null seal
Hoped along the edge in white floss. This
ruftle went across the crown and formed a
faniike bunch nearly fiat on the right side
and a spiral arrangement on the left side
four or fine inches high, and this sustained
a pale heliotrope ourled paradise plume.
Directly across the front of the hat, from
one edge Of the brim to another, there was
"a row of shaded velvet pansies. Another
straw hat in black and white had an arm
full of roses mingled with white lace cover
ing the whole of the brim and crown.

ARE YOU A LlAR7


II So. Consult a Physicians for He
Can Cure You-
II you are a liar, consult your doctor at
once. There Is hope for you. Medicine
and medical methods are applicable to
those who suddenly develop a marked abb
h~orrence for the truth and shun it even
when it would best befriend them. The
doctors believe this is merely a species OF
dementia. THE brain is unhealthy and
tho patient Is taken under treatment.
DR.. Thomas p. Welch, a student on
brain disorders, would treat the man who
preyaricatas unnecessarily much as no
would an insane patient.
I'VE often hear of people who suddenly
develop a propensity for lying that is star
fling. he said. "a peculiar feature is
that the individual has nothing to accom-
plish and absolutely no excuse for disre-
garding the truth. He causes all sorts of
trouble and embarrassing situations for
himself and family without knowing why
lid does it. THAT maj should consult q
physician. His mind is unhealthy and his
nervous system Is IN great disorder. He
should be treated carefully. The base Of
his trouble is the nerves.. Rest and tonic,
With good nursing, would restore these,
ax1d gradually tho brain would become
hsnlthy and the at1liction disappear.

A FUGITIVE KINGS FETB.
Joseph Bonaparte EDfertatned His
Philadelphia Friends In style.

Phtla0eIpD1a FFleDue ~ Sk$trs
.About four miles from Philadelphia
there was a magnificent mansion built af-
! ter the Italian manner in the previous
| century by Governor John Penn, and
known as Lansdown House, in honor of
| the Marquis Of Lansdowne. Here Joseph
Bonaparte," records William Perrine,
writing in the April Ladies' Home Jour-
NAL" of when the King of Spain lived
on the Banks of the Schuylkill," "estab-
lished himself in rural ease until he had
built his palace at Bordentown, N. j.
| Toward the end of the summer of 1877
| Joseph had a little dinner party at Lans-
downe. Among the guests was DR.. Ben
| iamin Rush's daughter, Julia, who was
| pleased with what she thought his fluent
| conversation, his urbane manner and his
good looks, and who, perhaps, was some
what inclined to ~sympathize with his COM
i plant that Napoleon had not been at all

own way as either soldier or King.
ION one occasion only he rave a mag

! PHILADELPHIA who had been invited dressed
in their most picturesque summer gowns
| and made haste to attend. 1t was a brill

the centre of attraction as he stood on
| his lawn and welcomed his guests. But
| If is doubtful whether there were at any
| time more thar half a dozen persons in
Philadelphia, or for that matter IN the

close and confidential relations. He

stripes run up and down. The sleeves
had cuffs of the percale, and the revers
and collar were lined with it. The whole
effect was neat and pretty.
Blue linen was employed to make an
other tennis suit. Around the bottom
wero three rows of white tape. The blouse
was unusually pretty. The sleeves were
bishop shape, with cuffs of white linen,
with two rows of black braid. The sailor
collar was trimmed with several rows of
narrow soutache. There were a stock, full
vest and a sailors tie of cardinal surah.
A black straw sailor hat with a wide
white ribbon completed the costume. Tam
O'Shanters made Of duck and crash are
much liked for tennis.
Pique, both white and eolored, is very
good and useful for tennis and other active
outdoor requirements, that produced in
tan being especially good. It wears we'll
and washes well. Skirts to wear with
white shirt waists and short REFER Jackets
are very dressy. They are trimmed with
white or brown braid and pearl buttons.
Sometimes they have an arrangement of
both white and brown braid. others again
have overlays of lace insertion between the
braid.
Mohair is one of the favorite stufYs for
everyday outdoor wear. 1t is produced
In all the light colors of the season and in
black, white and cream. A new idea is
shown in the making of this always pretty
fabric, and that is to have a whole lot OF
bias RULES around the bottom, n over
topping tho other. There are some mo-
hairs with an iridescent effect. not very
pronounced, but still clearly discernible,
1t depends largely upon the Development
of the goods how handsome a gown may
be achieved.
One handsome costume was made of
mohair where drab and green were min
gled with white. The skirt had two deep
sprung flounces put on in tunio shape,
being nearly twice as deep in the back as
In the front. Each rufie or flounce was
edged with velvet ribbon to match and
headed with the same. The bodice was in
surplice form, with q rufie Of cream lace
edged with velvet ribbon. There was a
cape to match, which was very stylish and
worthy of being copied in almost any
kind OF ~seasonable goods. It was short
and not very full. A sprung rufie five
inchey wide of the mohair was sewed
around the edge and carried up in a jabot
to the throat. Just above the ruffle was
q wide band Of cream colored lace inser-
ton, with a row of the velvet ribbon at
each edge. Another ruffle and q row Of in
sertion were put up around the neck.
There was a tudor collar with a wide ruch-
ing Of silk null, which was topped dow
the front by the side Of the jabot.
The materials oftenest seen now In
gowns not for everyday are crepon, satin,
bayaderes, poplins, epinglines, ottomans
and heavy twilled ~vigoureux and some
