A DAY TO REJOICE IN.

The observance OF Easter SUNDAY
throughout Christendom is not only
memorial of the central fact in The
Christian religion, out gives occasion
for variety of beautiful customa

Day ii the East is the bright day in
the west, and wherever the sun shines
the ancient rites of the Saxon goddess
Easter, born in paganism, have been
assimilated and given a new meaning
IN the Christian civilization Of this
later day
The gaudy decorations of the
heather races. which were the tangible
expression Of their festival delights
have an ample suggestion in the Der.
sonal display that is now one of the
attributes of the Paschal feast. No
pagan goddess could address herself
more directly to the preparation Of
her Easter rament than the woman of
today to the selection of her Easter
costume. But no idle variety mars
the delights of the present custom
BY most desirable consensus this dav

EASTER DAT f.

In accordance with bull issued by
the council of Nicaea, in 325 A. D.
Easter cannot occur later than April
25. This canon sets forth that Easter
must be celebrated on the first Sunday
after the first fun moon of the spring.
rhe earliest date for the full moon is
March II, and the cyclicai month, or
the period of time within which the
Easter full moon can occur comprises
30 days Therefore, Easter could come
ter full moon may happen as late as
March p, Add to this 20 days, and
one has 50 days, or April 10 as the day
Of the spring full moon Should this
date fan upon a Sunday Easter must
be celebrated seven days later, or on
the 26th of April
In his Astronomical Lexicon DR.
Gretschel gives April 26 as the latest
possible Easter date This book was
published in 1882 and the year 1886 Is
named as the anomaly that brings
Easter as late as April e. AS matter
Of fact, however, Easter occurred N
that year on April 5, and 1t is rather
interesting to explain this departure
from what seems to correct computa-
zion.
An ecclesiastical canon excludes
April 20 from becoming an Easter day
! Iittrow, in his Astronomy declares
that April 19 must be substituted. Mes
selmann's theory Is that the earlies
Idate should be chosen or March %. II

Ideslgnates the year 2076 as the one il

WOOD
Reaches Washington and Sub.
mits his Report.

WASHINGTON, JULY 1S.-Governor
General Wood Of Cuba, who arrived in
Washington last night, reached the war
department at $3.50 this morning and went
imediately into Secretary Roots office
He said he knew very little about con-
dtions in China or the reason for his
having been called to Washington. He
came here in response TO a telegraphic
request from Secretary Root General
Wood said conditions in Cuba were quiet
and favorable.
In response to a question as TO wheth-
er he could spare more troops from there
he said no request had been made on
him for troops except for the three reg
iments which had been ordered from Gu
ba month before the Chinese trouble
became so serious. He believed there
would be an inquiry made as to how
many troops he could spare but he was
not prepared to say anything until he
had discussed the question with Secretary
Root. The elections in Cuba passed off
quietly, General Wood said, and the peo-
pie there were taking much interest in
the constitutional convention which is to
be held some L. this fall
General Wood spent three hours with
the secretary Of war. The Cuban situa-
ton was gone over thoroughly. General
Wood reiterated his opinion that it
would be very undesirable to withdraw
more than the three regiments now un-
der orders to leave the island. The re-
moval Of the troops now under orders will
reduce the force in Cuba to a little more
than 5000 men. These General Wood con-
slders essential to the welfare Of the ISL
and until after the coming constitutional
convention. The election Of delegates to
the convention probabaly will be over by
the first of October.
1t is understood that Secretary Root
conceded with General Woods views af-
ter the situation had been fully explained
and that no further draft will be made
on the Cuban force at present
