John Hays Rare Letters.

There have been few better let
ter writer's than John Hay. He wrote
more nearly as he talked than any
man have ever known, and, as he
could not talk in dull or uninter-
esting way, so he could not write a
dull letter. Some day, when time
shall have made 1t not indiscreet to
publish compilation of his letters,
they should be given to the world.
They will prove to be not only an
intellectual delight, but an inestimat-
able contribution to the history of
the time in which he lived and in
which he bore SO honorable and USE
full part. 1t would be quite out Of
the question to publish them now.
for they relate intimately to men
now living and to public affairs that
are still in process of evolution. I'm
like many brilliant letter writer's, he
did not write with the obvious ex-
pectation that his letters would be
published. He let himself go freely,
as was his went in familiar conversa-

he never wrote without saying some
thing that the recipient of the let.

A Man of Many Friends.

1t was characteristic of the late
Sir Henry Irving to make friends of
Americans whom he met in London,
and to show his appreciation of the
esteem and admiration in which he
was held here. But it would have
been asking too much to expect him
to be familiar with each persons
claim to his recognition. A contribu-
tor to the New York Sun says that
it was often case of going it
blind" on the part of the actor.
A certain New Yorker arriving in
London found an invitation from Sir
Henry to one of the famous suppers
in the Beeksteak Room of the Lyceum
Theatre. He accepted the invitation
with delight, had as good time as
the guests at these gatherings in
variably did, and ultimately became
close friend of the actor.
But neither at that first supper
nor at any time later did his host
say word to explain how he hap.
pened to invite man he had never
met before. So at last his Ameri-
can friend decided to question him
on the subject
"Tell me, Irving" he said, chow
did you happen to ask me to take
supper with you ten years ago in

you did it,"

Easter Customs I'm All Lnnd,.

Z From the earliest period of the Chris
.tian era down to the present day, Easter
has always been celebrated with the
greatest joy and counted the queen of
festivals The common name in the East
was the "Paschal Feast" because kept
at the same time as the Jewish passover
In one of the Ancyrene canons Easter is
called the great day." In the days of
the primitive Christians, 1t was 80 Pc
culiarly time of exuberant gladness
that Easter became known as Dominica
gdmdii-Sunday of joy. Many and varied
are the popular customs which attach to-
Easter in all lands. 1t was the practice
in early times among the Christians 70
salute each other on the morning of this
day by exclaiming Christ is risen," to
which the person saluted replied, Christ
is risen indeed" or else "And hath an
peared unto Simon"-a custom still in
vogue in the Greek churches. The OBJ
servance of Easter at first covered Pc
riod of eight days, corresponding with
the Jewish pasclial celebration, and the
heathen spring festivals. Gradually the
length of the holiday was diminished.
first to three days, then to two, and at
last to single day of religious devotion,
as at the present time. During the orig
lnal Observance of eight days all labor
ceased, law courts were closed, and all
trade was suspended. Everybody had a
vacation from work and worry. 1t was
Il favorite time for baptism. Alms-giv-
ing was. a popular feature. And many
slaves had cause for joy at Easter in
receiving their freedom.-Leslie's Weekly.

Angel. at the sepulehre

As we read of the angels at the sepul.
chre Faster morning we are reminded Of
the rejoicing of angels at the Lords birth
and Of their ministry to Him through all
His life: We are reminded also of tho
nearness Of angels to men in the expert
ence of death and resurrection; then an
gels are Immediately present with every
one TO protect him from harm in his abb
solute helplessness, and to receive him
tenderly as he awakens into a spiritual
life.
The word ".angcls' means ''messen-
gers" and In an abstract sense the Lords
angels are not the persons who do His
service, but the messages of truth which
he sends forth. This thought is beauti-
full to remember as we read Of the angels
opening the tomb; this shows the power
Of the Lords truth to overcome falsity
and denial and to convince men Of His
living and eternal presence. Especially
is the denial of the Lords divine pres
ence with men represented by the sealing
of the stone and setting the guard Of SOL
diers; but 1t was rolled away at the an
gels presence. The power and beauty Of
the Lords truth are also represented by
the brightness of the angels face and
garments.IThe Helper.

In the history Of the universe. There Is
an indefnable something about the place
which takes hold of the emotions of the
visitor and fills him with awe as he looks
reverently at the objects which witnessed
His last walk to a cruel death, and again
at the spot marked as the place of the
| glorious resurrections.
There are houses there more than 1000
years old, and some of their walls of
stone were passed by that awful process
sion struggling along to the Mount of
| Calvary. No art of the word painter can
picture the hnlo of deep antiquity hang
ing over the city. The solemnity of its
age, the grandeur of its associations, cut
niche in the memory which time does
not efface.
1t is the ideal city of all others for the
celebration of the Easter festival. Christ
stood upon the hill of Calvary, 1862 years
ago and looked down upon the town where
he had labored and been betrayed. That
was the first Easter morning, and since
then, every year, kind and loving hands,
representing countless generations of all
times, all creeds and all races, have left
some token in honor of the day at the nu-
merous places made sacred by His pres
ence.
On Easter day the reputed tomb of
Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepul-
chre is covered with the lilies which are
used all over the world. The Mount of
Calvary is visited by the Christian popu-
lation of the town and the members of
the various religious orders inhabiting it,
and flowers are strewn upon the spot
where the cross is supposed to have stood.
The archways under which Christ walked
on the morning of the CruciGxion, and
which are now standing and may stand
for another 1000 years, are visited and
pointed out to the small children and
their histories told. Teaching the events
of Eastertime to the young of Jerusalem
is an easy matter. Actualties are there,
and they can be seen for the trouble of
looking.
The city itself is not greatly changed
from the times when Christ visited it. At
the Gate of Joppa there are always mass
es of camels, merchants, peddlers and
beggars. Incidence and activity rub
shoulders without the usual EARRING.
1t is the same strange, weird Jerusa-
lem-Jerusalem, the prize of the nations,
the terminus of famous pilgrimages, the
object of Roman and crusading wars; for
it Assyrians, Egyptians and the world had
fought: the place where the queen of She
ba visited and Richard Ceur de Lion had
conquered; the home of Solomon, of Eze-
kiel, of jeremiah, of Isaiah. of Saladin.
There is the Mount of Zion, the spot of
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1906-04-11

David's heartbreak and Mount Moriah,
where sacrifices smoked; the Mount Of
Olives, where Jesus preached, and Golgo-
tina and the Holy Sepulcher, where He
was buried.
A place redolent of antiquities, city
teeming with memories Of the men and
women of the Bible. A wonderful place,
with the power to stir the emotions Of a
man of stone.
Above all is the "Place of the Skull"
as 1t was called in the earthly days Of
Christ, known now as Mount Calvary.
From the famous Gate of Joppa it can be
eeen, and If we knew its ancient name it
would speedily be recognized
1t is hill shaped like the human skull,
and just beneath what might be called its
forehead are two cavernous spots which
at distance resemble eyes. Not only
this, but the inside of the hill is shaped
like the human skull. Entering the
grotto under Calvary, it is found to be
thirty-five feet high, the top and sides
being malachite green, brown, black,
gray. white and red. 1t is called Jere-
miah's grotto, for it was there that lie
wrote his Book of Lamentations.
The summit of the hill is just wide
enough to contain three crosses. 1t was
the spot where malefactors had been slain
for ages and Christ was slain as n male
factor.

the reputed tomb of Christ, is n small

hill, and one boy will match his egg in
race with another to the bottom of the
hill. The one that arrives there first
without breaking is the winner. If the
egg pops on the way down the victor may
have the egg to eat. OF course. after a
few egg races the players are full of eggs
up to their chins, but there are still
plenty of Jolly little negro boys who are
always hungry and who can eat an I'M
limited number of the broken eggs. In
this way hundreds if not thousands Of
eggs are crushed and eaten every Easter
Monday in the Presidents back yard.
Easter egg-rolling Is a German custom,
and the natives of Bavaria have INDUCED
IN 1t for centuries. Grown men and wom-
en- play the game there. Two men will
pit their eggs against each other, and
roll them so that they will collide. The
egg that breaks is eaten by the owner of
the egg which suffers the least damage,
and the sport keeps up until one or the
other loses all of his eggs.
