Skirts in round length that touch, or

The Old Hens.

On many farms at this time of the
year there are found quite number
OF surplus males and females that pos
sess pure blood but which cannot be
sold to fanciers, for various reasons,
These may have been prize winners
at an early period in life, but, OH ac-
count of approaching end and conse-
quent fading beauty, they have lost
out and have become the victims of
the intense commercialsm with which
this age is charged. These birds find
their way into the huckster wagon
at commercial rates and day or two
later they may be found in the midst
OF struggling surging mass of every
thlng that the feathered vocabulary
has name for. About that time some
farmer, and, so far as that is con-
cerned, once in while n fancier will
happen that way when his eyes will
be caught instanter by the appearance
OF any specimens. He becomes in
terested right away and goes after
such specimens as pleases his fancy,
and one by one examines every sec
tion OF the bird, ending by purchasing
of said huckster the blooded bird at
the commonest kind of price he can
beat the huckster down to. Then he
takes the bird home, waits until it
moults and fixes it up for sale for
four or five times the price he gave for

harmed, for the bird was thorough

such on all sides of Jerusalem. and
sometimes poor people live in them.
All the Christians except the Prot
estants celebrate Easter In the Church
of the Holy Sepucher, which has two
great domes, one of the Greeks, the
other of the Latins. This church was
| first built round the sepucher about
800 years after our Lords death; when
it had stood about three centuries 1t
was destroyed by the perslans. 1t was
rebuilt in three parts. and afterward
enlarged.
That edfice also suffered injury, and
the Crusaders built this one about S00
years ago. Additions have since been
made to it. In its last form 1t is about
100 years old.
There are some forty parts of the
building, chapels and affairs and the
like, but the chief part is, of course,
the sepulcher.
This is entered by steps downward,
and is n room about six feet square.
Fifteen silver lamps hang from the
low ceiling. OF these the Greeks own
five, the Latins five, the Armenians
four and the Copts one. Masses are
said here at short intervals. The
priests at the different affairs almost
elbow one another. The sounds make
a babel.
THE SORRY PART or II.
The bitterness in the hearts of the
rival sects has so often caused quarrels
and murders in this church that the
Turkish soldiers, who are Moslems,
are always present near the door,
lounging, drinking coffee and chatting,
yet ready at any sign of conflict TO ar
rest the antagonists. The bells in the
two great domes are Greek in one
and Latin in the other, and they are
always rung in dlscord, so that the
Moslems all over the city are disturbed
by them, and speak in contempt of the
Christians.

This time we got an answer. but tba

set up a joyful shout and threw the

Jews and Moslems are not at strife
among themselves, but it is very un-
fortunate that Christians Of different
sects are at odds in Palestine. First
are the Greeks, as they are called, who
/ come from Greece and Russia, and
other countries which belonged to the
eastern part of the Roman Empire,
with its capital at Constantinople.
Then there are Latlns, who are Of all
nations that look 10 Rome as their
centre.
The Latins do not acknowledge the
patriarch, and the Greeks do not ac-
| knowledge the Pope. They do not
keep the same days for Christmas and
Easter, because the East was not will

The Protestants are not all agreed on
the place where our Lords tomb was.
Some think that the place of the cross
is a little hill shaped like skull
Golgotha or Calvary means place OF
skull-north OF the city. The Moslems
have a graveyard on this bill, and have
lately fenced it to prevent Christians
from holding services there, as they
have sometimes done.
The famous General Gordon thought
that he had found the right tomb near
this hill, and some people bought It
for $4,000 and are taking care OF 1t.
We only know that the tomb was in
garden, that II belonged to a rich
man, and that 1t was new at that time.

seems to be no other place in the world
where so many nations meet.
The Latins, the Armenians and the
Egyptians do not have any services
very different from those held at their
homes.
The Greek Christians have a strange
rite, called the Holy Fire" Their
! Easter comes later, as | have already
explained, and this is fortunate, for
they crowd the church to sutfocatlon,
and stay all night in it. The reason
for this is that, when the fire comes,
it will be made TO light torches, and
these will be carried by runners to all
the villages; the one who comes first
to his village will have a prize. Thus
it is contest of athletes to get nearest
and start first. There are chanting
and yelling and pushing and falling
and fainting and every kind of vio-
lence.
