The observance of Easter dates back to
about the year 6S, at which time there was
much contention among the Eastern and
Western Churches as to what day the fes-
tlval should be observed. II was finally
ordained at the council Of Nice in the year
325 that IL must be observed throughout
the Christian world on the same day, This
decision. says the Ladies' Home Journal,
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 G69. After nine
centuries a discrepancy in the keeping Of
Easter was caused by the authorities OF
the English Church declining TO adopt the
reformation of the Gregorian calendar in
1892 The difference was settled in l752
by the adoption of the rule which makes
Easter day always the FIRST Sunday after
the full moon which appears on or next
after the 2lst day Of March. If the fun
moon happens upon a Sunday. Easter is
the Sunday after.

at the club as she greeted a friend, that

dearest man in the world"
THAT Is one happy marriage" thought
the woman, who happened 70 overhear
the remark to herself. Later she stood
again near the same woman. who was
talking to another friend. She was still
speaking of husbands, but this time there
was a touch Of acidity in her tones.

was saying. II would make people think

four feet in diameter by the use of this
mixture.
Take a short strip of wood "a foot
rule will do) and drive small nail into
each end. Then stretch thin string,
or, better still, a piece of wire, from
one nail to the other, and place bridge
under it so as to form primitive mu-
steal instrument. Next nail to one end
of the strip of wood the lid of tin in
such manner that it touches the string
or wire, and place the figure inside the
lid after moistening it well with soap
and water. Now take straw and blow
n bubble in the lid and then touch the
string gently. The vibration of the lat
ter will then be communicated to the
lid, and the figures will dance inside
the bubble.
A beautiful optical effect is thus OBJ
tained, and the delight of the audience
is such that the bubble performer is
kept busy all the evening with fresh
creations. There are many variations
of the soap bubble trick possible, and
which will readily suggest themselves.

STONE MOUNTAIN LION.
Louisville Western Recorder.

Striking Monument Erected by Ma
ture in New Mexico.
In the mountainous valley of the San
ia Fe yiver in New Mexico there stands
huge rock known in the country
around as "The Monument" 1t towers
hundreds of feet above the bottom of
the valley and even lifts its head far up
ward from the top of the ridge upon
which it rests. A person going up the
valley is struck with its striking resem-
bance to some huge animal not unlike
an Egyptian sphinx, standing upright
and gazing out across the valley to the
mountains opposite.
But it is not sphinx; the Indians
who once owned the country have their
own explanation as to how it came
there Far back in the time of their
grandfathers the mountain lion, who
was one of their gods, came out of the
west, running toward the rising sun.
For days and days he ran, and every
time his feet struck the earth they left
q valley, and every time he breathed
forests were uprooted before him.
And at last when he had run for many

ANIMALS AS MODELS.
Experiences of nm Artist In sSetchinE
from Life.


Leaves from the Sketch Book of an
'Animal-Artist,' >" is an article by Mere
dith Nugent in St. Nicholas. Mr.. Nu-
gent says:
There was an elephant in the Jardin-
des-Plantes that would not pose unless
he were paid for it, and paid in ad-
vance. Then he took payment in buns
and pie, but if these were not forth
coming he would deliberately walk to
the farther end of the inclosure and
turn his back. The only way to get
a drawing of this big fellow was to
engage some one to feed him mean
while.
In the same gardens 1 saw an un-
usually interesting sight one morning.
A little sun-bear with large marrow
bone in his shaggy paws was resorting
to all sorts of bear devices to get the
sweet marrow. Suddenly he lay down
on his back, placed one end of the bone
in his jaws, and with his hind paws
tipped the other end of the bone so
high up that the choice morsel slipped
into his mouth. If the animal could
only have understood the shouts of APP
proval that greeted this performance,
think it would have turned his head. In
one of the sketches you will see how
this feat was accomplished.
AS rule find the models very good
natured. True, they keep a sharp eye
on me for the first few days but after
that are generally quite friendly. Of
course, there are some parts of the
business they do not like. The oriole
never was happy when held him in
my hand for close inspection, but a
beautiful cat which rebelled when
first placed her in bird-cage-to keep
her in front of me-grew so fond of be-
ing there, that after finished my draw
ings she cried and cried to be put back
into the cage.
Intense curiosity is the great char
acteristic of animals when in the studio.
They are as much interested in you and
the surroundings as you are in them.
This is especially the case with birds.
Leave the studio but a few minutes,
and these two-legged fellows are hop
ping into everything. Of course they
inspect the paper on which you have
been drawing, and the paints, and the
brushes, and occasionally vary these
proceedings by taking bath in the
Waterfowl.

WHO'S AFRAID IN THE DARK9

"Ch, not l." said the owl,
And he gave a great scowl,
And he wiped his eye
And fluffed his jowl-"Tu whoor'
Said the dog: IL bark
Out loud in the dark-"Boo-oow
Said the cat: "Miew
I'll scratch anyone who
Dare say that do
Feel afraid-Miew!"
Afraid" said the mouse,
"Of the dark in the housel
Hear me scatter,
Whatever's the matter
Squeak
Then the toad in the hole,
And the bug in the ground,
They both shook their heads
And passed the word round;
And the bird in the tree,
The fish and the bee,
They declared all three
That you never did see
One of them afraid
In the dark!
But the little boy who had gone to bed
Just raised the bedclothes and covered hi
head.

SOAP BUBBLE SHOW.
A Neat Trick That Is Always PuzzIInE
to Obaervers.

The most interesting trick is the soap
bubble one. To perform this two cork
figures must be made. They can be
colored with bright paint. Fasten them
with wire TO small cork stand.
The soap bubble mixture is important
to prepare. For it you must shave a
quantity of CASTLE soap, perhaps half
a teacup, and add to it II fourth of the
quantity of glycerin. Melt the soap in
warm water before adding the glycerin,
This should make perhaps pint of
heavy, soapy water. Test the bubbles,
and if you cannot blow them as large
as the moon the mixture is not properly
mixed. Soap bubble exhibitors often
blow bubbles as large as three and

legs under him and nodding just as any
giant cat would do. He was so tired
that he slept long time, and while he
was sleeping along came the greatest
of all Indian hunters and shot him with

blood flowed in such quantities that it
