feature of the revelation which we
have in the person of the Lord Jesus
Christ. 1t is the eliminating fact
in Christian theology. We cannot
exaggerate the Importance of the
Resurrection as one of the salient and
impregnable truths of the Christian
faith.
Christ's First Appearance.-Mark
tells US that the risen Christ appear
ed first to Mary Magdalene ~(Mark
16: 81, and the details of this mani
festation are given to us in John
20: Ills.
1t is a significant fact that the
risen Christ should have showed him
self first to a woman. 1t seems al
most prophetic of the exalted station
to which Christianity has elevated
woman in every Christian land.
Christ Appears to the Women at
the Tomb.-Immediately after his ap-
pearance to Mary Magdelene, Jesus
showed himself to the other women,
who had gone with her to the tomb,
and from whom she seems to have be-
come senarated for the time being.
These other women included Mary,
the mother of James the Less and
Joses; Salome, the mother of John;
Joanna, the wife of Chuza, and some
others whose names are not given.
A list of the Recorded Appear
ances.-In all, some eleven instances
are recorded in which the risen Lord
appeared to human witnesses. They
may be enumerated as follows:
1. To Mary Magdelene, early in
the morning OF the first Easter Sun
day, near the Tomb where Jesus had
been buried.
9. To the other women who went
with Mary Magdelene to the Tomb.
g. To Simon Peter CLuke ABA;
1 Cor. 1850, on the first Easter Sun
day.
4. To the two disciples VINO were
walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus,
in the afternoon of the first Easter
Sunday. duke ~24:13-32.)
5. To ten of the apostles, Thomas
being ABSENT and other disciples in
an upper room in Jerusalem, on the
evening of the first Easter Sunday.
(Luke "a :36-49.)
6. To the eleven apostles (Thomas
being presently, and others in the up-
per room at Jerusalem, one week
later. John 20 :26-29.)
7. To seven apostles, several days
later, by the Sea of Galilee. John
21:1-22.)
g. To the eleven apostles on a
mountain in Galilee some weeks later.
(Matt. % 1920
9. To other five hundred at once, at
about the same time as the appear
ance to the eleven in Galilee. Il
Cor. Is: g.
10. To James. Il Cor. 15:7.)
II. To the apostles in Jerusalem,
and afterwards on the Mount of
Olives, near Bethany, at the time of
his Ascension. Luke 2 :5O-53; Acts
lilly
The above list of appearances rep
resents the views of probably the ma
jority of scholars. Of course in a
matter where there are several differ
emit accounts to combine there is a
possibility for differences of opinion.
For example, some regard the first
and second appearances as identical.
Others regard the eighth and ninth
appearances as also identical. Thus
it will be seen that different scholars
would enumerate nine, ten or eleven
appearances, according to the par
ticular view which thew took. This

Danger of Cremation.

Or. Braunstein, of wepperfurth. ac-
cording to the London Mail, has been ar
rested on charge Of numbering his wife
whose body was cremated by his instruc-
tons. In November the doctor mar
ried lady in Halle, her fortune amount
ing to $500 in ready money Imme-
diately after the wedding the couple left
Halle for trip abroad, and shortly aft
erward news was received that the bride
had died suddenly Suspicion was
aroused, and the doctor is now accused
of poisoning his wife. Owing to the
cremation of the remains, however, there
is no possibility of the body being exam
ined for traces of poison, and the charge
being thus either substantiated or re-
iuted.

sAUERKRAUT EXPERIENCE.
Come Difficulties Encountered by Men
Who Stored or Sold It in Large
Quantities.

A farmer who raises cabbage and
manufactures sauerkraut on a large
scale was trying to sell 80 barrels Of that
delIcacy to Front street dealer. The
dealer, says the Portland Oregonian, did
lot appear eager to buy.
He said he could hardly get rid of so
much sauerkraut before summer, and 1t
was dangerous stuff to have around in
hot weather, for 1t was likely to ferment
in the barrels He said his partner and
another dealer on the street had deal
In kraut some years ago which was not
profitable. They both had a big lot of
the stuff, about 80 barrels in all, on
lower wharf on the city front and did
not know what to do with It, as the
weather was becoming warm. Finally
they agreed to play cards to see who
should have the whole, and his partner.

They decided to ship it to San Francisco,
but the next day one of the barrels ex-
ploded, threw down part of the ware
house and plastered everything within
gunshot with the seething, fermenting,
nasty-smelling stuff
After cleaning up, the remaining bar
rels were placed on a steamer and sent
to San Francisco. The night after they
were landed the warehouse in which
they were placed was burned. and they
lost the whole lot and narrowly escaped

the fire was caused by the spontaneous
combustion of the kraut Since that

LATEST RADIUM REPORT.
Capable of Charging Water with Ra-
dio-Activity-opens Up Inter

The latest marvel reported by the
patient and ingenious students who are
exploring the mysteries of radium
comes from Ann Arbor, where profess

found that by surrounding a little ra-
dunn with pure water the fluid is soon
charged with radio-activity to such an
extent that it stops the pain of cancers
almost instantly, and it seems to prom
Use the healing of several cases which
are being treated with water so ener-
gized. Obviously, 1t is too early to make
very positive claims for radium as a
curative agency, but the indications are
very suspicious.
The certainty is that radium is so
different from other substances and
other forces that accepted views of the
physical world must be revised. and
unknown and unmeasured POSSIBLE
tiles are larger and more impressive
than they seemed not many months
since, in the eye of science. What has
been learned of radium is simply
enough to prove that very little is yet

We are still only experimenters,
touching the dim edges of momentous
truths. Every point of vantage gained
widens the fields yet to be won

sHUN cRlPPLEs' SCHOOLS
Teachers of Public Schools Dislike to
Teach Unfortunates - Special
Training Required.

That the public school-teachers OF
Chicago who now have positions in the
elementary grades do not fancy the work
of teaching in the schools for crippled
children is evident from a bulletin sent
out by superintendent Cooley. says the
Post
The positions In the schools for Grip
pied children pay 5000 more a year than
teaching in the elementary schools, but
II Is said that teachers do not like the
work, because it is too difficult. Super
intendent Cooley's bulletin to school
principals is to the effect that the prin-
cipals confer with the superintendent of
schools concerning teachers whom they
consider specially fitted for the work.
so that these teachers may be encour-
aged to make some special preparation.
Three new schools for crippled chill
dren will be opened next year, and teach
ers will be needed for these schools. Ii
is required that teachers in schools for
crippled children should have one years
special training in such teaching. Ar
rangements have been made by Superin-
tendent Of Schools Cooley to have spe-
cial training in the work given in con-
nection with normal extension classes.

WORLDS RICHEST FAMILY.
Wealth of Rothschilds Foots Up to a
Total of Billion and
Half.

A writer in the Tattler, a London
publication which is nearly always
bright, and often very we'll informed.
argues that however great the riches
OF the American millionaires may be,
there is no family in the United States
which approaches the wealth of the
Rothschilds. He makes a good case.
1t appears that careful estimates CT
the possessions of the French branch
Of the family place its riches at or
above $3O0,000,0OO. The British Roths-
childs are rated still higher in the
financial world. The German mem
bers of the family which won its first
success in that country are also very
rich, and there are other Rothschllds
still to be reckoned with. Altogether.
1t is claimed that the wealth Of the
entire family is not less than $780,
O0O,O 900.
If that sum is anywhere near the
marks, then 1t follows that there is no
American family anything like so rich
as the Rothschilds. They can easily
outweigh any other house in the
extent and value of their property. And
most of it is very solid and safe. From
the first, the Rothschilds have been
careful and shrewd in handling their
immense wealth. No one can set
limit on its probable accumulations

WALKING STICK CUT LONG.
Fashion Also DEGREES It's Return to
Earth-No Longer Carried as
a Battering Ram.

The fact Of the return of the walk
ing stick to earth is a very remark
able one, for it must be approaching
Is years since walking sticks were
used, and not worn or merely carried,
says the Court Journal. With the dis
appearance of the "crutch" the walk
ing stick left the ground. AT first 1t
was carried in the right hand, consiG-
erably nearer the ferrule than the
top" and, held in this position, was
fiourished in a most dangerous mar
ner. Before long the hand travelled
more amidships, when the action, from
flail-like, became a ramming one.
Then suddenly the stick was thrust
under the left arm, where it remained
some years. The advent OF the curved
or crook handle had its inevitable re-
suit Instincuvely man wants to hook
it upon something, and, finding his
left arm close at hand, straightway
hung it up and created a fashion after
the unconscious manner of his kind.
Why the walking stick has once moro
come to the ground. thus to discover
the perforated condition OF the West
end pavement, IL is at present impOs-
sible TO say. II viii no doubt be re-
marked, however, that the king has for
year past generally been seen
using walking stick of rather
more than usual length. and all sticks
are now cut long.

me nlppOpOlhmusl il doomed.
The regulations drawn up some time
ago to control big game hunters In the
Soudan are to be reviAd shortly, and
the "hippo"--whose hunter and killer
was taxed when the Soudan was first
opened up-the 'hippo," as aforesaid,
is doomed to "a sort OF" determination.
Because" said Sir Harry Johnston,
the noted African explorer, in CONVERSE
ton, ITS all very well for people TO
talk about determination in regard to
the hippo but 1t will prove very diff
ficult matter to get rid of him. There are
vast marshes in Africa to which he can
and will resort, and from which he will
only be driven at last by a well-organ-
lied, well-equipped and determined body
of men.
Il am perhaps little fanatical with
regard to the preservation of lower ami
nal life" went on Sir Henry, but
should not carry my passion for it SO far
as to let lion loose in England And
the hippo In the rivers of Africa is as
dangerous as the lion would be on dry
land. Let the lion alone, and he let's
you alone-especially has he terror of
white mans face-but the hippo
causes more deaths annually in Africa
than the lion and the leopard together.
He constantly attacks boats from which
he has received no offense, killing or
mauling their occupants, and he destroys
fields and gardens by the score. What
he does not eat he sits on"
