TIE SACRED CACTUS HERE
Grows Only in Caverns and Is Found
in the Guadalupe Noun
tains.

The chief Sabbat,l attraction In an up
town church recently was a pyramid
cactus. 1t held the most conspicuous
place on the altar, and scores of stran-
gers visited the church to see it, says
ths New York Times.
ut wal given to our home mission
airy" said one Of the members, by an
Indian convert in New Mexico. The cac-
tus grows only H. caverns, and is found
in rhe Guadalupe mountains. The beau
tifnl vase-shaped maroon blooms devel-
op to over two inches in diameter, and
there are as many as 100 on a mature
plant. In carly times the faithful Indi-
ans used the caverns as churches, and
beautiful places of worship they must
have made with majestic walls Of va
riegated limestone wreathed in Towering
juniper and mountain laurel. They
marched over the mountain trails In
spring chanting seasonal songs to their
gods When they reached the mouth
of the cavern the chiefs were decorated
with the pyramid cacti, and a dance was
performed.
Then chanting, dancing, ard the sue
rifce Of animals took place in the cave.
Often the redskins. worn cut with their
e%xertions, fell asleep and stayed through
the day and night Of devotion within the
mysterious walls. To sleep zeal thu
sacred cactus plants was the same to tie
aborigines as a visit to Mecca is to the
Mohammedan. The touching of Its
leaves was a publication Ii itself. From
some mysterious part Of the plant a
liquid was extracted to serve for med
icine, and the flower petals were placed
upon a babes forhead at christenings.'

NOVEL CHURCH
Scythes Form Odd Decoration for
Chapel Interior at st. Mary's
in England.

At first sight the scythe is a strange
ornament for a church, but there is
nothing incongruous in these curious
agricultural implements as seen in the
parish church of st. Mary's, at Norm
castle, in Lincolnshire, says the Chris
tian Age. Thirteen of these blades are
nailed above the door in the north
chapel. At one time the blades num-
bered 40 or so. but owing to rust and
decay many of them have been lost.
Each of the scythes is about a yard in
length.
The general belief is that these
blades were placed in the church in
commemoration Of the zeal of peasants
who welded them in defense of their
faith in the rebellion known as THE
Pilgrimage of Grace which had its
rise at Louth in 1886. When the people
saw the ruins of their churches and abb
beys they rose in revolt, and, arming
themselves with the instruments Of
~husbandry, such as the scythes, they
went forth to encounter the enemy.
They were beaten and dispersed. but in
the eyes OF their countrymen they were
heroes, and the rude implements with
which they fought were deemed wor-
they of an abiding place In the old
church whore the peasants had wor-
shipped.
