more impressive than those of today.

that our party repaired to st. Peters
place at daybreak. The immense
square was thronged with a dense
mass of natives, exchanging voluble
greetings, and strangers who, like our
selves, watched the incidents of the
day with the Impotence born of ex-
pectancy. The greater part of the pa
pal army was drawn up in the center.
The regiments had donned their most
snowy uniforms, and the standards
struggled bravely with the morning
breeze. Presently deep silence settled
over the immense assemblage. Pic

Gently attired prelates, had appeared
in the loggia. The sunbeams played
carelessly about the glittering tiara on
his brow, and the kindly face of the
pontiff expressed love and compassion.
Now he stretched forth both hands as
if to place them on the 10000 heads
below and in a loud voice pronounced
the worlds blessing, 'Benedicat vos.'

To Tell How ola an EGG Is.

Easter eg.%s Eay.a no teeth to look
at, some other means of determining
their age must be used to prevent the
possibility of catastrophe at the Sun
day morning breakfast table. This
method is Il good one: Dissolve a quar-
ter of a pound of salt in a quart of
cold water and drop in the eggs n at
a time. If a day old an egg will set.
tie to the bottom; if three days old it
will float; if more than five days old
it will rise above the water in proper
ton to its age. To ascertain the quail
ity of eggs make a cone of stiff white
paper, place the eggs to be tested n

NSHE great feature of the Roman
Easter is the pontifical high
mass in st. Peters, attended
by thousands of persons of ev-
cry nationality and every walk in life.
The great temple on this occasion,
decorated with a wealth of flowers
and green's and filled with brilliant
robes and uniforms, Is a triumph of
beauty and splendor.
In a draped tribune at one side of
the main altar are the ambassadors,
ministers and other members of the
diplomatic corps accredited to the holy
see, ablaze with decorations and col
ored ribbons, while throughout the
church and on the square Swiss guards
and other papal soldiers are stationed.
AT 10 o'clock the order to present arms
Is given. The Swiss guards raise their
halberts high in front of them as the
head of the procession moves into the
church. Marching in front Is u pla-

rious officials of the pope's household
in clerical ~attire-priests of different
ecclesiastical grades, heads of monas
tic orders, mitered abbots and monks.

seated on a throne which is carried
high above the heads of every II by
servants of the Vatican clad in scara
let silk and bearing the platform on
which the pope's chair rests upon their
shoulders. Beside the throne walk
high dignitaries of the papal court,
holding in their raised hands huge
white punches of ostrich plumes, which
they wave gently to and fro. The
pontiff is attired in white, his toga be-
ing of a soft material that clings to
the body. Upon his head he wears the
emblem of his power, the glittering
tiara. As he passes through the throng
of people he bestows the benediction
upon all present, his uplifted right arm
making the sign of the cross continu-
ously, while his lips pronounce the
grand words of peace. The pious peo-
pie receive this benediction kneeling,
