Above all is the place of the Skull, =
as it was called in the earthly days Of
Christ. known now as Mount Calvary.
From the famous Gate of Joppa it can be
seen, and if we knew its ancient name il
would speedily be recognized.
1t is 4 hill shaped like the human skull,
and just beneath what might be called its
forehead are two caveruouS 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-hve feet high, the top and sides
being malachite green. brown. black,
gray, white and red. 1t is called Jerc-
miah'S grotto, for it was there that he
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 a male
factor.

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 10 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 WON
en- play the game there. Two men will
pit their eggs against each other, aud
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.

Selling or shipping Poultry.

That more poultry raisers and farm
ers have not outgrown the plan of SELL
ing In the fall and winter is very evi-
dent. In localities where killeries are
located there is a good demand for
poultry the whole year around and
sales are made at any season. Not so
in every locality, hence it is necessary
for shipments to be made az certain
seasons when buyers are operating.
The price of good poultry Is satisfac-
tory and the demand is likewise very
good at present.
Where only small number of birds
are to be sold it may be well to sell to
some local dealer, but If a large ship
ment is to be made 1t will pay to ship
to some commission firm of reliability
in some Of the large markets. Such
firms win be glad to make daily mar
ket reports and customers will be kept
posted as to the state of the market
= 1t may be very wise plan for sew
eral in a neighborhood to go together
and make a shipment, sending it direct
to large commission firms. By this
means a saving will be made of hand
ling the shipment through a third
party.
In shipping live poultry 1t is a good
plan to grade the shipment. The fowls
should be fed all they will eat just
prior to shipment and for this purpose
no better feed can be found than shelled
corn. They should also have plenty
of water. A shipper informs us that
125 pounds of live poultry Will consume
s pounds Of shelled corn on a 300
mile journey.-Iowa Homestead

fertility of her eggs. The approved
dry rations are made Of meatmeal,
cracked corn and bran, with abundant
grit.
In making butter it is just as well to
make good butter. 1t is o poor policy
to let the renovating factories get the
profits which belong to the butter
maker.
A little boy, who was enjoying coun-
try life for the first time, astonished
the people In the house by
screaming at the top of his
house screaming at the top of his
voice: "Come quick, the little pigs have
got the big pig down and are eating
her up"
A pig once stunted can never be made
as good as 1t would have been had it
been kept coming right along from far
rowing time-yes, and before. That is
one reason why we do not believe In
fall filters. There are so few men that
can carry a litter through the winter
without their getting a setback.
An American visiting in Russia tells
US that the peasants thrash grain as
our forefathers did many hundreds of
years ago. The grain is tramped out
by the aid of animals and winnowed
by the wind. He observed that the
workers were lazy, shiftless fellows
who engaged a great deal In smoking
and drinking.
One of the leading seed corn growers
rejects all corn from down stalks. Seed
is only gathered from stalks which
stand up The percentage of standing
corn is figured in row and If it is too
low the whole row is rejected. All
breeding ears must have been produced
or standing stalks. This is good plan,
as it has a tendency to produce healthy
plants.
For colts oats lead the list of feed
ing stuffs, but shorts and bran and bar
ably used where economy is import
ant. Steamed crushed oats or barley,
thickened with bran, will prove very
nourishing and appetizing where colts
are suffering from teething. A lin
tied quantity of cooked roots, mixed
with ground grain and bran, given at
night In winter time, daily, or two or
three times a week, will show in a
more thrifty general appearance.
An Ohio fruit grower says:
I am still believer in the mulch

Easter Monday in Washington is a
great day for the children. If it is pleas
ant hundreds and hundreds Of them gath
er in the back yard of the White House
grounds and have grand egg-rolling
celebration. Every boy and girl in the
city. black or white, is welcome TO come
on that day as the guest of the President

At the rear Of the White House there
is sloping back yard, covered with soft
grass and trees. Early in the morning

The ,Joy of Easter Morning

Easter is the morning-tide of hope;
the deliverance from the despair of
doubt, from the death of love. The
charm of morning begins Every early"
when the Disciples went forth to find it
as they fed in haste to the place where
the Lords body lay. If they had lin
gered late the greater glory of Resur-
rection would have flashed before they
came, and the lesser glory of the day
spring would have faded away also. You
may fall asleep in the dark and wake in
the sunshine without great emotion; but
if you watch the darkness as it is driven
steadily before the dawn, it will come

Enclosure 100 feet long and 80 feet wide.
1t is cared for by a colony of franciscan
monks, who spend much time beautifying
it. The Bible says: I'm the midst OF
the garden was the sepulcher," and the
students of Biblical events generally &C
knowledge that in this place Christ was
buried.
Now the place is beautifully adorned
with hedges kept in exquisite order by the
monks. There are innumerable beds of
pinks and roses, and visitors are given a
nosegay by the monk in attendance.
One of the most interesting features
of the place is a bunch of seven veneer
bic olive trees, some of them nineteen
feet in circumference and so old that their
trunks are kept shored up by stones. 1t
Is said that they are descendants of the

original trees of the time of Christ, and

Two monuments in the garden are full
Of interest. One, a small pillar, marks
the spot where Jesus was betrayed by
Judas Iscariot. and a small rock shows
the place where the three disciples, Peter,
James and John, slept during their Mas
ter's agony.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre oc-
cupies the space surrounding the tomb of
Christ. This ancient edifce was begun
by the crusaders in 1880 A. D.. and it.
was largely added to at subsequent times
1t forms vast pile of masonry now, and
looking at it, it becomes difficult to be-
lieve that it was then 1862 years ago to-
day that Christ arose and stepped into
the open air.
The most imposing Easter celebration
anywhere is the one which takes place in
Rome. Travellers journey thousands of
miles to see it, and what they see is prac-
tically the same celebration which has
been handed down for centuries by the
laws of the Catholic Church
1t is one of the few religious ceremo-
malls actively participated in by the Pope,
and the fact that he takes part draws tens
of thousands of visitors to the Eternal
City.
The queen of festivals, as Easter is
called in Rome, is ushered in by the firing
of cannon from the Castle of st. Angelo,
and as early as a. m. carriages con-
tanning the wealthy classes are pouring
toward st. Peters.
The altar is most richly decorated, and
the whole vast structure is festooned with
flowers emblematical of the day. The
lights around the tomb and figure of St.
Peter blaze brightly.
From a hall in the adjoining palace of
the Vatican the Pope is borne into the
church under the most imposing circum-
stances. Preparations for this entry are
made many weeks in advance.
Seated in his sedia geStatoria, his vest
ments ablaze with gold, he is carried into
the edifce. On his head ne wears a tiara
"a tall, round gilded cap. representing a
triple crown. and which is understood 70

the eyes or vigilance of the church. Over
him is borne a silk canopy richly fringed.
After officiating at mass at the high
altar, the Pope is with the same ceremony
borne back through the crowded church,
and then ascends to the balcony over the
central doorway Rising from his chair
of state, and surrounded by his principal
officers. he pronOunces a benediction with
! indulgences and absolHtion.

In the history of the universe. There Is
an indefineble 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 halo of deep antiquity hang
ing over the city. The solemnity of its
age, the grandeur of its associations, cut
a 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 yer, kind and loving hands,
representing O. lntless generations of all
times, all cree; and all races, have left
some token in l1nor of the day at the nu-
merous places made sacred by His pres
enCe.
On Easter ~ the reputed tomb of
Christ in the { hurch 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 1t,
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 Crucifixion, 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. Actualities 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 jarring
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
