ESCAPES IN MOTHERS DRESS.
Aguinn1dO Is Described as Having
Eluded the Americans in
Odd Way.

John Linck, of Richmond. Va, now
IL private in company X, Fourth in
fantry, in the Philippines, tells UNI
der date of Cavite Viego, January 2o,
Of the escape of Aguinaldo from the
Americans by dressing himself in his
mothers clothing.
The Americans heard that the Fill
pino chief was visiting his mother at
the little town of Binacoyon. The
place was surrounded on the mor1l-
ing of January IA and all the inhabit-
ants were forced to pass in review.
The women received. only a >cursory
inspection, and Aguinaldo escaped
among them.-
His body servant, who. was taken,
said "For months we have been in
the midst of the Americans and they
/. have not suspected us. :. My master
has even spoken with the American
soldiers. When my master was
wounded in September we wrapped
him in mating and foated him down
the river past the Americans, who
thought it, was dead body. How
you found out we were to visit his
mother I do not know, but some one
betrayed US and he will be punished.

In Russia Easter Is the one great festi.
val of the year. The Passage From
Darkness to Light, the Opener of the
Gates of Paradise, the Sanctifer of the
Faithful, are few of the names which
the Russians have given to Easter Sun
day. On Saturday night all the churches
and chapels are crowded with people
dressed in new aud bright clothes. There
are no seats in Russian churches, so ev-
erybody is obliged either to. stand or
kneel. A few minutes before midnight
the service begins. After a solemn chant
the priests lead the people in procession
all about the church. Then, just at the
stroke of ~, it is announced from the al
tar that Christ is risen. At the word the
worshiper who stands nearest the officiat-
Ing priest lights his candle from that car
ried by the latter. He in turn passes the
light on to the people about him, and in q
few minutes the whole building is ablaze
with lights. Then is exchanged the Eas-
ter kiss, which is the most unique of Eas-
ter customs in Russia.
The whole congregation passes by the
priest, each kissing him three times, once
on the forehead and on either cheek, and
being kissed in return.
The exchange of kisses, followed by
presents Of ,Easter eggs, is almost univer-
raj among all classes Of Russians. In
the boys schools all the pupils are salut-
Cd by the head master. Friends and re-
lations kiss each other on the streets, and
the Easter lily takes the place Of the mis-
tletoe among the peasants.

ter night saucers containing lighted

evidently in keeping with the traditions
Of the day.
A gift Of flowers is reminder of
the happy casters Of long ago. There
is the white aZalea, like small tree
covered with snowtlakes; the Gala and
ascension lilies, or, if they are prefer
red, the many varieties of palms or

hyacinth or the always dear violets
single or double, with their own leaves
The Easter bouquet should be all
white, but little lavender or pale
pink is sometimes permissible. Broad
streamers of satin ribbon are fastened
to bouquets and ones card attached.
Prayer book sets, the small anchor
and cross in silver or mother Of pearl
make very appropriate presents.
Sofa pillows in rich shades Of green
or red velvet or in the dainty pompa-
dOur silks are always liked.
The butterfly, being emblematic of
the soul, makes a pillow with figures
Of these winged creatures an appropri-
ate Easter remembrance. The founda-
ton of the pillow is made of blue up
holstery satin in an aesthetic shade.
with numberless butterflies in bright
colors, some shown as if fitting here
on field grasses that grow up from the
lower edge of the pillow. The reverse
side of the pillow has the monogram
Of the recipient embroidered in large
size in the shades of brown that run
into a golden yellow, the letters all
being we'll stuffed. The ruft1e that
runs around the four sides Of the pill
five inches wide, matching in color the
satin used in the pillow. The edge is
worked in butterflies done in button
hole stitch with heavy silk, the edges
being cut out so as to make a butter
fly wing a scallop.
The society girl who has been so gen
erously provided through the winter
with violets from certain young man
may show him courtesy on Easter
morning by sending him violet sofa
pillow. This is of white bengaline,
over which has been thrown a handful
Of violets, with here and there an oc-
casional stray leaf of green, all of
which are embroidered true to nature
The four sides of the pillow have a
twist of green stems and artificial vio-
lets running along the edge.
The Easter card pure and simple Is
not as popular as it was some years
ago. Still, there are cards which make
very amusing souvenirs. On them are
downy chicks Nesting in old straw
hats, others driving an eggshell tan
dem, rabbits and roosters performing
the same acts and long legged os-
triches gravely surveying the hidden
possibilities of basket Of china eggs.
All these things, nicely mounted, have
taken the place of the ordinary Easter
| card.

LIKE OUR SHOES.
Russians Prefer American Footwear
Good Chance to Establish
Factories There.

Vice Consul General Haydecker, at
St. Petersburg, has sent to the state
department a solution of the diff
Guilty between this country and Rus
STA, which is said to be the only prac-
ticable one yet advanced. He calls at
tention to the fact that the recent
retaliatory action on account of the
sugar duty is by no means a novel
thing. Within the last six months
import duties on many articles have
been increased, and there has been
an advance of from 80 to so per cent.
on the rate on boots and shoes.
In consequence of this increase it
has become impossible to import
American or any foreign-made foot
wear. With the exception of few
small concerns in Warsaw there is
only one large shoe factory in Rus
STA. This concern, of course, does an
enormous business, and is one of the
most prosperous corporations in the
empire.
It is evident that this factory cam
not meet the local demands, and there
has been a constant call for Amer
lean shoes. They are much superior
to the domestic article, but cannot
possibly be imported under existing
circumstances.
The acting consul general therefore
makes the novel suggestion that
American shoe manufacturers should
go to Russia and establish factories
there. With their improved meth
DDS, he says, combined with their SUI
perior workmanship and the use of
American machinery, they would meet
with practically no competition and
would reap profits far greater than
those to be obtained elsewhere.

EASTER IN OTHER LANDS.
Strange Ceremonies of Ancient and
Modern Times.

Modern Times.
Among the most impressive of Easter
customs is that of foot washing, mon
archs and mobiles performing the Office
for the poor and unfortunate. For cen
turtles in most European countries Thurs
day of holy week was observed in this
way in commemoration of Christ's act
when on the day before his cruci6xion he
washed the feet of his disciples and babe
them love one another. Thus up to the
time of King James II the king or queen
Of England gathered together on Holy
Thursday a number Of paupers, equal to
the years of his age, and washed and
anointed their feet with oil. Queen Eliz
abeth, for instance, when in her thirty
ninth year washed the feet of 80 people,
Even up to the present time the emperor
Of Austria observes the old custom, and
In Rome the women of the nobility still
wait upon the poor in the same way. On
the same day the pope washes the feet Of
ID priests, who are dressed in white and
wear high white caps. Twelve of the
priests represent the II apostles, while
the thirteenth typi6es an angel. After
this ceremony is over meal is served in
q large room over the portico of St. Pc
ter's at which the holy father himself
waits upon the guests. -

Easter In Rusaia.

An Easter feast in Russia usually
consists of sucking pig, lamb, Shout
der Of veal, a ham, curdled cream,
Easter bread, red eggs, colored lights,
fddling and general merrymaking. In
the good old times the nobility left
their tables furnished until Whitsun-
tide, so that any one who chose to
enter their house might partake of
what was there set out, nor was food
denied any one. This state of affairs
could hardly be imagined here; but,
strange as it may seem. in the few To-
still keeps up. there is scarcely record
ed case Of the betrayal Of such hos.
pitality.

Devout she sits within her pew,
A vision fair, with eyes Of blue,
A face divine, serenely sweet
In calm repose, content complete;
Her thoughts must dwell above the skies
Within the pale of paradise.
The mighty music fills her soul,
As through the church its echoes roll;
Amid the throng that worships there
She sits, devout in peace and prayer
And perfect bliss; for, though you search,
She has the finest hat in church.
