EAS TER IN CAIRO.
Observance of the Day Most Notable Event of Year in the Egyp-
 tian City.

At the Greek church in Cairo, the ob- seiFance of Easter is the most notable event of the year. A traveller who at tended service there thus describes it:
 A soodly portion of the early serv- ice was conducted within the farther depths of the altar behind the iconostas- is. There Was nothing in sight bu! the magnificent screen. but we coull near voices that seemed to come from the reeesses= of a cavern alternately chanting and intening in strange, un- familiar accents.
 During this part of the service the church was dimly lighted, and the curi- ously garbed figures moving through the gloom in the body of the church seemed singularly weird and uneanny. At q given moment the lights were turned Up, and each person in the audience lighted his candle. The great dome re- iiected the myriads of lights until our eyes Were almost blinded by the sudden glare
 At this point the golden door in the center Of the ieonostasis opened. and there came forth from the holy of holies, into which no layman may enter, a pageant of semibarbaric splendor. 4 herald with staff in hand and wearing the dress of the native Greek cleared the way. His short, white kilt stood out like the gauge skirts of ballet-dancer. he Wore coarse white stockings. gar tered above the knee, and a richly-em- broidered zouave-j jacket
 Boys carrying incense burners pre- eeded the patriarch, who was followed by acolytes, bishops, priests and other ecclesiastical dignitaries all in full eanonieals and each carrying 6 ligkted candle.
 "The yestnents of the venerable patriarch were gorgeous with gold em- broidefy and precious stones. Some ot the dignitaries carried palm branches in their hands Of the two who were near the end Of the procession. one car. ried an fcaE-eaered Dicture-the frame richly set ia Jewels. which he turned to the audience for yeneration, while the other held in his hand large Bible set with pre- sious stones.
 Forth frcm tie 'rayal door they came thFor.zn the center of the church and with slow and measured step made their way into the ceurtyard-a mag nifcent spectacle The dignitaries gath- cred about the reading desk, while the patriarch reeited the liturgy under the starlit sky."-Tke Pilgrim.

FOR THE NEW BABY.
Nowadays All Articles for Layette May Be Bought Ready Made and
 at Reasoaable Prices.

The range between necessities and luXuries for layette is so wide," says the Liliputian Bazaar, in speaking of the new baby, that list of the most necessary articles only can be given, and the mother must decide upon the quality and number of each of the garments. Bands, shirts, pinning blankets, flannel skirts night dresses, flannel wrappers, dresses, blankets, socks, napkins. and bibs are the essentials, while there are many other garments and articles of wear that add materially tc the comfort of both mother and babe. Upon the quality and quantity of these garments and the additional bits of daintiness which every mother longs to add to her baby's belongings will depend the cost of the outfit. These little garments can now be had ready made, so cheap in price and so daintily fashioned, that in many cases it is unwise for the expectant mother to attempt the fash ioning of the tiny garments with her own hands. For both her own and the baby's sake she should carefully avoid all confining occupations and strive to increase, instead of exhaust ing, her strength by every available means. It is best, too, not to get too many articles Of each kind, as baby will grow so fast that others will soon be called for, and it would seem wise to begin with necessities. adding others according to our like, as the darling demands them Nearly everything, now, can be had ready made, and from the plainest to the finest. at reasonable prices"
