more he has been taken into the conf

The chances are, | think, In favor of
peace and adjustment Of political rival
rles and presidential ambitions within
the law, especially should Diaz long
survive his withdrawal from active
affairs. During the last 90 years in no
country Of the world has the material
prosperity of the people increased at
such rapid rate as IN Mexico, and in
a large measure this change Is due to
the fostering care and the tireless ac-
tivity OF the dictator. He found them a
people dependent upon donkeys and
mules for transportation and confined
as to their wants and their activities
TO their respective pueblos. Under his
direction and principally owing to his
encouragement 10000 miles OF extreme
ly difficult railways have been built,
and today the Mexican can, and does,
buy largely In the markets Of the world.
This, In sentence, is the story OF
Diaz's long term In the presidential
chair from 1876 down to the present day.
A new generation Is growing up; the
young men of today are OF the same

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

about Jose Yves Limantour, because
he IL personally so well known In New
York. If he becomes president the rui'

pass for an American In New York ant
Frenchman on the boulevards, is
heavy political handicap to the suffrag
OF the Mexicans which Limantour coul
not hope to contend against without tn
very decided support OF Diaz.
How long Limantour could maintain
himself In power Is question upo
which those expert In Mexican condi

Is wisest 10 await the course of events
He can never become president withou
the sanction OF Diaz. Yet doubtless a

Was Not Corrected Until 1859.
The observance of Easter dates back
to about the year GS, at which time
there was much contention among the
Eastern and Western churches as TO
what day the festival should be OBJ
served. 1t was finally ordained at the
Council of Nice in the year 325 that 1t
must be observed throughout the Chris.
tian world OH the same day. This de.
cision 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 fourteenth day of the calendar
moon was established in England In
GG0. After nine centuries a discrep.
ancy in the keeping Of Easter was
caused by the authorities of the Eng.
lish Church declining to adopt the ref
ormation of the Gregorian calendar In
1882. The difference was settled III
1862 by the adoption of the rule which
makes Easter Day always the first
Sunday after the full moon which ap.

Easter, the Saxon goddess of the East,
gave her name to our Christian festi-

limited knowledge of Egyptology, that
the Egyptians had no language other
than the queer signs you may see to-

An Easter Parable.

Once in sheltered garden there
bloomed beautiful flower so sweet
and pure that the south wind forsook
all other spots to sweep ccaselessly,
caressingly around it, whispering soft
words of love.
But one day the flower faded, nor
could the south wind, with warm
kisses, revive its dropping head.
Then came the gardener through his
garden, who, seeing the dying flower,
plucked it from its stem, and, tearing
out its golden heart, buried 1t deep
in the black earth.
