THE BEST WAY TO TEACH his-
T0RX

The idea OF object teaching. the
foundation Of the Frcebel system Of
instruction, has In recent years met
with general acceptance and adoption
in almost every branch OF education.
high and low, with resultant benefits
which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammar and arithmetic
are now taught in this way SO far as
practicable, and with marked advant-
age over the old dry and abstract
methods. The practice of teaching
history by making pilgrimages to the
very scenes where great historical
events have occurred is an application
of the same principle and much more
valuable in the way of impressing the
reality of history upon the minds Of
the young than any amount of mere
textbook instruction could be. A re-
cent issue of the "Four-Track Series,"
published by the New York Central
management, gives a description of
the historical sites in the immediate
vicinity of New York, which will be
of exceeding value for the guidance
of teachers and others who desire to
adopt this method of historical study.
One of the best ways to develop civic
pride and promote good citizenship
lies in this very direction, an in
crease of knowledge OF local history
being accompanied with an increase
of interest in matters of local govern
ment and a higher concern for what
affects the welfare and good name of
the community.-From Lcslie's Week

EASTER IN THE HOLY CITY.
/ Mohammedans and Christians Unite
in Rejoicinu

Mohammedans and Christians Unite
in Rejoicing.
Wonderful to the western eyes are
the Easter celebrations at Jerusalem.
Nowhere else on earth is the festival
commemorated with greater pomp
and enthusiasm, by Jew as well as
Mohammedan and Christian.
For weeks pilgrims from both
Greek and Latin churches pour into
Jerusalem from every part of the
globe. Every dwelling place is crowd
ed to its utmost. and tar out on the
western slope of Mt. Olivet may be
seen innumerable white tents.
On the Wednesday before Easter
one is awakened by the bleating of
lambs half strangled with the white
alkaline dust of Jerusalem. The shep-
herds are loud and quarrelsome,
fighting for the best places. Thou
sands are there already, and thou
sands are on their weary way. for it is
"a sheep to man."
On this day both rich and poor must
buy sheep for the sacrifice on
Thursday, when the sheep must be
killed and eaten, yet no man may eat
his own sacrifice. Every mans table
is supplied at his neighbor's expense.
Thursday is a day OF footwashing.
The ceremony is performed by priests
arrayed in dazzling robes of jewels
and gold embroidery. Friday is day
of professions, when all the youth of
the city, in superb robes and on horse
back. turn out.
On the night of Good Friday may
be seen at least 10000 pilgrims stand
ing or kneeling on the stone floors and
benches-silent, prayerful and i'm
Notwithstanding for the dawn. All
the night the street resounds with the
Resurrection Hymn" which on Eas-
ter is changed to the crowning glory
of the Greek Easter, Christ Is
Risen"
One of the odd features of the Eas-
ter celebration at Jerusalem is the
part that the Mohammedan takes in
It, 1t is well known that the Moham-
medan does not believe in the resur-
rection of Christ but they look upon
him as a prophet. as follower of the
great Mahomet The sacredness with
which, as subjects of the Sultan of
Turkey, they guard the tomb of
Christ and the spot whereon the
crucifixion took place is apparent to
all. In fact, thousands upon thou
sands of Turks have died in defense
of the cross and the tomb, and to-
day they look upon Christ as the
greatest prophet next to Mahomet.
They join in the Easter celebra-
they visit the sacred spots that fig
ured in the life of Christ with a pious
regularity that is not surpassed by
the Christians.

In Russia the Easter egg is Of more
Importance than 1t is in any other
country. Nobody starts out on Eas-
ter Sunday without quantity Of

WHAT THE EASTER
RABBIT BROUGHT
BY MARIE BorHILDA

There was once small maiden, an
{orphan, who lived with her grand
parents in country where the win
tiers were long and cold and the snow
5deep during many months.
y Although only six years of age, and
s5as happy as innocence could possibly
be, she sometimes sighed for the COM
Apanionship of some one as young as
herself. Her grandparents were. Of
course. very loving and kind. Indeed.
1T was impossible for them to be 9TH

'Sapples, and whose eyes reflected the
zdeep blue of the clear sunny sky.
What! bring a culver to that rosebud

Hpearls. or bring low in sorrow that
fcurly blonde head! 1t was unthink-
liable.

Z else tell her about the wood sprites
and fairies. Grandpapa was accus-
toned to take her shel-like ears in
his great rough hands, and, holding
i her face close to his, whisper:
\ BE not cast down. sweet Lola.
] Thy heart is young and ours is old.
Gran'ther and know what thou
h wouldst have. But wait and we shall
see."
One Easter eve he said to her:
"Thou'st been good child, Lola. and
the moon hare will surely bring thee
great Joy, mayhap a companion. Look
well, then. on the morrow when the
sun shall dance. and find the gifts of
the Easter hare"
with joy at thought of receiving a
companion from the good rabbit; as
