The recent visit Of the Prince OF

to the wonderfully rapid growth In size

only to that Of Calcutta and Bombay.

William Pattison, who was appoint

Trade in human skeletons, which Is
a regular business with certain houses,
Is most active in September, when the

the price rules high or low as the death
rate In that country moves up or
down.
1t is remarked with surprise that the
labor members of parliament are not

Ing on this subject, explains in this
way: 'AThe lives Of many of them have
been hard. They began the struggle

before the furnace, at an age when
they ought to have been learning their

WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial Correspondence

lSpeC1al correspondence
Almost Identical with the laying of
The cornerstone of the United States
capitol by President Washington near
ly 113 years ago was the ceremony of
laying the cornerstone Of the new Of
flee building for members of the house
Of representatives. Federal Masonic
lodge, which had charge Of the cere-
nony in Washington's time, had the
honor OF swinging the cornerstone Of
the house annex into place.
In accordance with tradition the
stone Is at the northeast corner of the
building, and its location corresponds
with that Of the capitol cornerstone.
Sine the original capitol was built
wings have been added at the north
and south ends. so the keystone Of the
building is now well toward the center
Of that great structure.
The New ONCE Building.
The foundation of the magnificent
new house Office building Is completed,
and the floor beams for the first story
are now in place. The senate Office
struction Immediately north Of the
capitol grounds, Is not as far advanced
as the house building. and its corner
stone cannot be laid at the present ses-
sion Of congress-.
These two buildings when completed
will take the place Of additions origi-
nally proposed to the capitol building,
but which were objected to on the
ground that they would mar the archi-
tectural scheme Of that structure Each
Of the new buildings will occupy q
complete square Of ground, and they
will be magnificent white structures Of
classic design to harmonic with the
capitol and library Of congress.
The Capitol Building.
Sept. 18, 1893. was the exact date Of
the laying Of the cornerstone of the
main capitol building by President
Washington. Excepting the central
portion, it was burned by the British
in 1914. The entire building was fin
ished in 1927. The cornerstones for the
extensions at the north and south ends
of the main building were laid by
President Fillmore July 4, 1851, when
Daniel Webster was the orator. The
extensions, which contain the present
senate and house chambers, were first
occupied in 1857 and 1859.
Monument to Reed.
A souvenir Of the monument to the
late Tom Reed has been presented to
the president by Representative Allen
on behalf Of Maine people. The Maine
people propose to erect q monument
costing $4,000 or 10000 to Reed. and
the money is being raised by popular
subscriptions. The president was one
Of those who subscribed. The souvenir
consists Of parchment In token Of his
subscription. 1t bears a fine portrait
Of the famous speaker Of the house.

EASTER.

Easter is here. For weeks it has
been looked forward to with great
expectancy, as it is a period of re-
joicing and JOY. Possibly, with the
exception Of Christmas, there is no
season Of the year, when good cheer
is so much abroad in the land.
Every one is in good hdmor with
himself and every one else, and full
OF hope. lie looks on the bright
side of life and is optimistic Of the
future.
Easter, as all should know is the
annual festival observed throughout
Christendom in commemoration of
the Resurrection Of our Lord jesus
Christ. The word is survival
from the old Teutonic mythology,
citations tell lts!! According 10 Bede
lis derivation comes from the name
Of the Anglo-Saxon goddess of
spring, 10 whom the fourth month,
answering to our April, was dedi-
Gated. This month Bedc informs us
was the same as the "Mensis Pas
chalis," when "The old festival was
observed with the gladness Of a new
solemnity."
There is said to be no trace Of the
celebration Of Easter as a Christian
festival in the New Testament or
the writings of the Apostles. Every
day with the early Christian mind
was to be one of sanctity. In other
words according TO the thought of an
early writer the whole of time is a
festival unto Christians because Of
the excellency of the good things
which have been given. The intro
duction of Easter into the church il
attributed to an old usage, "iust
as many other customs have been es-
tshlished," said Socrates. This is
claimed to be true statement Of
the case. Easter, celebrating the
Resurrection follows the Jewish
Passover, which celebrates the first
fruits from. the dead. christians
supplanting the Jews absorbed soHe
Of their customs and Easter was the
substitute with early Christians for
ihe Passover, and thus it found its
legitimate introduction and celcbra-
ton in the Christian church.
There was confusion at first as to
the proper date. The Pewish fast
ended on the fourteenth day Of The
moon no matter what day OF the
week. With the Christians, the first
day of the week was identified with
the Resurrection, and the preceding
Friday was ketp as the Day Of the
Crucifvion, irrespective Of the day
of the month. Some in order to be
gsure kept the whole week, some the
week before and after, some the mid.
die Of the week and some the end Of
the week, and thus brought a good
deal of uncertainty ard ridicule on
the Christian faith.
This was finally overcome BY the
Church of Rome, which within GER
tain limits place dthe observance Of
Che Crucifxion og-a Friday and that
81 the Resurrection on the following
Sunday. After periods of discus-
sion and difference, it was decided
that Easter should be kept all over
the world on the same date and the
time was to be calculated at Alex
andria and the bishop Of that see
was TO announce it annually to the
churches under his jurisdiction and
to the bishop Of Rome, BY whom it

two Houses. They will be the six
men who viii effect the legislative
compromise that is always necessary
in important legislation. Senator
EIkins will be at the head Of that
committee of six. This should be
a matter Of congratulation to West
Nirginialls. II shows the import-
ance of keeping good men in the
Senate when you have got them
there.

Senator Elkins has introduced an
amendment to the agricultural APP
preparation bill appropriating $780,
900 for the construction Of a labora-
tory in Washington for the use OF

was to be communicated 10 the west
ern churches. There followed a
confusion o fthe determination of
the time and not until several hum
dred years afterward was the Romish
cycle and computation adopted. The
rule adopted for the computation of
the time may be thus briefly stated /:
Easter day is tie first Sunday after
the-14th day not the full moon) of
the calendar moon, which happens
on or after March q. The moon
was not of the heavens, but Of an
ecclesiastical calendar. After nine
centuries a fresh discrepancy was
caused in the celebration BY. the re-
fusal in England 10 adopt the Gre
forian reformation of the calendar
in 1852, but this was ended IN 1853,
when the New Style" was adopted
in the United Kingdom.
tits gratifying TO note that most
OF the local churches have prepared
TO celebrate the day in an elaborate,
but deyout manner, and the millin-
.ers and clothiers can testify to the
fact that the laity have not over
looked the approach of the day.
