served. but the spirit which accom- panies and underlies it. Christians look on it as "commemorating the cen- tral fact of our religion" as one writer expresses it, and as such the day called Easter has been celebrated from the earliest times. The various ways in which the day is observed and cele- brated have been so often referred to and described that repetition Is not necessary. That the name and the day date back to, the earliest days of Chris tianity Is shown by the sentence in the Acts. where Herod had imprisoned the Apostle Peter, intending after Easter to bring him forth as the Bible tells us, showing that even then there was an Easter day known to the first Christians. It is interesting to read the many discussions and opin- ions on the subject, but there Is not room to even refer to them here. It is enough to know that this is among the most important days in the Chris tian observances.

AN ERRONEOUS pEpucrroN.

All writers and observers among the aborigines of this country agree as to their invariable habit of walking with their toes straight in line with the course they are pursuing. They never "toe out" as. the whites do, though some of them walk with the toes slightly turned in. An Indian never failed to recognize the track of white man by this peculiarity, although ] 1t is true that white scouts sometimes formed the habit of walking in the red mans style.
 We notice that New York physi- clan, name not given. takes the posi- tion that the habit of toeing out is mark of physical and perhaps moral, degeneracy. He argues that If man toes out he does 1t to broaden the space on which he stands and consequently to make the maintenance of his equi- librium easy. But the man who pos sesses complete mastery over his phy- sical movements has no difficulty in maintaining his balance with the feet directed straight forward, which is the position favorable to rapid progress sion or quick action in any direction. Other things being equal, the lazy and slouchy man will take the easy atti- tude, while the more tense and active man will assume that which promotes swift and graceful advance" Com menting on this The New York Mail says:
 In NVi1 cfa either toed straight ahead or else in slightly. The occasional toeing in was due to the practice of tiptoeing while In stealthy approach or escape. Tip toeing tends to the bending of the heel slightly outward as the foot Is brought forward at each step. The practice greatly facilitates the conceal
 But the Indian who has abandoned the wild life, and become lazy and de- about barnyard, begins to toe out like white man. On the other hand, the white man who adopts the wild life unconsciously moves within the mar row base and toes straight forward.
 It has been remarked by travellers that the attitudes and movements of the wild African native are much more like those of the American Indian than they are like those of the Ameri- and does not shufie. He toes straight ahead, not far out. He Is springy and tense, not loose jointed. The bodily habit of the American negro is the product of slavery, and his wide toe ing out Is probably the result partly of the carrying of heavy burdens on the shoulders.
 We think The Mail and its doctor will find it difficult to substantiate this theory if they propose to make it a general ore. That the savage walked with a firm step and erect carriage is true enough, but to insinuate that all white men are wabbly, so to say, is not in accordance with facts. We think that the savage habit Of walking with toes straight ahead or slightly turned in was principally due to the fact that they could thus pass more easily and silently through the thick and tangled forests than they could with toes turned out. The habit was the result of environment. and not due to savag- cry

LETTER TO POsTMAsTERs.

 Evening Post.
 Postmaster General Cortelyou will ing the degree of political activity, which is permissible on tho part of postmasters. A number have of late been accepting positions in campaign organizations. The Indianapolis post master. for example, is treasurer of the Republican State Committee. Many country postmasters are County Chair men. These are offices to which post and every few years grand overhaul ing Is necessary. Postmaster General Payne issued an order fin 1902, in which he declared that sharp line should be drawn between the classified and unclassified service. Postmasters and. other unclasslfied officers were merely prohibited from using their of- fees to control political movements or from neglecting their duties, or caus ing public scandal by political activ- ity. This did not distinctly answer the questions which have now arisen. It is desired to avoid concrete state ment because circumstances differ so in different parts of the country that there Is believed to be room tor some elasticity.
 It Is understood that Mir. Cortelyou's forthcoming circular will take ad- vanced ground, and will clearly dis courage the acceptance of positions of postmasters. His own retirement from the chairmanship of the National Con Yention to carry on the duties or the Department Is indicative of his own feelings on the subject, even though cabinet officers have always been re- garded as so closely related 70 the Presidents political fortunes. that their spstxihg speechgmaking iIpeSSaS Sas Been on diferent basis from that Gof their suoordinates' either classified or unclassified

How the influence of the Associated Press, vested in the person of Melville p. Stone. succeeded in removing the Russian censorship on foreign news, is the subject of MT. Stones second article in. The May Century. on The Associated Press" When MT. Stone went yUoa to St. PetersbqSrg in December put in the way to telegraph news thence to any alien newspaper or agen- cy, and the business of newsgather- ing was under ban in the Czar's Elm pire. Now correspondents are as free to write and send matter from any part of Russia, except in the terri tory covered by the war, as from any other country in the world. The doors of all the minisistries have been op- daiy visits to the war; navy, foreign and interior offices. and are, given the news with as much freedom as in Washington. This radical change was brought about through the Czar's con sideration of the conditions presented to him by MT. Stone in personal in terview. and by the Czar's own deci- sion and command.
 AS consequence of these arrange ted Press has been able to usurp in diplomat. and think it makes for universal peace in a remarkable way Instead of public questions now pass ing through the long and tedious methods of diplomacy, as formerly. the story is told with authority by the Associated Press.

THE DAY OF THE RESURRECTION.

Once more old FatherTime's swift pinions bring us to the great day of the Resurrection as now observed by Christian people everywhere. AL though it may not be possible now to fix the day in our calendar which would exactly correspond with the &C., tual date on which the Savior rose from the dead, and although for cen turies there were dissensions and dis putes as to the day which should be observed in commemoration of that wonderful and momentous event, the day is now fixed among Christian churches as the Sunday immediately following the first full moon after March 21. As the full moon came on March 2Oth this year 1t made Easter unusually late.
 It Is plain that a day which varies with the phases of the moon and which may occur in March or April cannot always correspond exactly with the day on which the resurrection occurred but the churches long ago fixed the date as above given, and 1t is now rec ognized and observed. It is not the actual day of the almanac that Is ob-

THE FOOD rApDIsTs.

There is no end to the food faddists, and any man who would try to keep up with all of them would >need the ity of boa constructor. We suppose no man is simple enough to undertake to follow all the fads, because life Is short enough as 1t is, and such q course would be apt to whittle it down to a point. And one of the most confusing dures. We may have a number of them knocking at us at the same time. but when one dies out there is one or more new ones to take its place.
 One of the most persistent and in sistent is the "going back to Nature" fad, meaning that all our food should be eaten raw, just as wild beasts do. and as some savages are said to do. The advocates of this fad tell us that the animals which subsist on raw flesh and uncooked vegetable food are the strongest, hea1thest and ongest-lived of all the animal Kingdom. They point to the fact that primitive man, before he learned the art of cooking, was physically stronger and had fewer ail- ments than the present civilized hu- man races. and 1t was all because they "ate 'em raw" Then they fire facts, figures and statistics at us to show how the life-sustaining and health giving juices of meat are dried out, burned up and destroyed by cookery; oR goes up the chimney or stovepipe; how the spices and favorings and risings we add to everything we cook Is only an- other way of committing suicide, and how much stronger, healthier, happier and jollier we would be If we would Ego back to nature"' and cut out cook ing.
 strongly suspect that the advocates of this fad are really vegetarians at heart. They know what the abolition of cooking would really mean the abolition of meat entirely, except per- haps such as had been thoroughly salted and dried, though drying 1t would be partial cooking. In the main 1t would really mean that no meat would be eaten, for no sensible, ra- tional man or woman would eat raw steak. chops, spare-ribs and outlets. to say nothing of the juicy sausage and fresh fish. A nicely cooked steak, chop or fish has too many attractions for the ordinary human to allow it to be barred and raw material to take its place.
 We are not denying that human be- ings can live comfortably and even luxuriously on strictly vegetable food. There is such a great variety of good and wholesome fruits, and grains can be prepared in so many palatable ways that people could really live, after a fashion, without meat of any kind, but all the same they will not do it. They will eat meat, even in spite of the beef trust and in spite of al lthe faddists who can live till the crack of doom Maybe some of us eat too much and maybe some of us don't get enough, but, as Burns says:
 Some hae meat and canna eat
 And some would eat that want 1t,
 But we hae meat and we can eat
 Sac let the Lord be thankiI.
 Just so. Let us eat meat in mod eration and be thankful that we have it.

Confidence in Montgomery.

Some people talk about there being no public spirit in Montgomery" said an old citizen. but the events of the last few months prove conclusively that such is not the case. The public spirit may not be blatant as that of Atlanta and 1t Is assuredly not as mercenary as that of Birmingham but the public spirit is here.
 The citizens have every confidence in Montgomery. The Baptist Church Is going to erect a church building that will do credit to Montgomery. when 1t is a city of twice it's present pop1 ulation and the Baptist are consider ing this in building the big church. The Court Street Methodist Church has foreseen the early future greatness of Montgomery and Court Street Church will be remodelled on big city lines.
 w. F. Vandiver. probaDiy Ala bamas most progressive citizen. be. lieves in Montgomery and he has spent an immense amount of money on Montgomery property. Cook and Lau- rie in their purchase of the First Bap- tist Church square, show that they believe that there is a great future for Montgomery by stating that an office building will be erected by them. In addition to this there are number or smaller buildings booms going on. all tending to the advancement of mont- ROmery."

Lacust Valuations.

Selma, Ala, April 21st, 1905. Editor The Advertiser:
 l notice in The Atlanta Constitution of the 10th a special from Lexington, Ky, stating that a visitation of sev- enteen-year Iocusts is predicted for this summer by the State Entomologist, and that more or less devastation may be expected. A few remarks on the sub tect may not be amiss from one who has observed and noted several of these visitations. My first recollection of a swarm of these insects was in Hous- ton County, Ga, in 1s42. then in Ma rengo County, Ala. in 1855. next Tn Dallas County, Ala, in 1888. then in Dallas County. Ala, again in 1881 and in 1894.
 I am positive as to these dates, also the identity of the fly. It will be ob- served that their appearance is after intervals of exactly thirteen years notwithstanding tradition to the con trary. Hence if the past rule Is car ried out they may be expected in these parts in the early summer of 1907. They usually continue about a month I have never seen any serious damage done by them.
 Very truly,
 Jos. A. Groves.
