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

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre oc-
cupies the space surrounding the tomb Of
Christ. This ancient edifice was begun
by the crusaders in 1850 A D., and it
was largely added to at subsequent times

looking at it, it becomes difficult to be-

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 gestatora, his vest
ments ablaze with gold, he is carried into
the edifice. On his head he wears tiara
"a tall, round gilded cap, representing a
triple crown, and which is understood 70

and a union OF both. Beside him are borne
the fabelli, or large fans. composed of os-
trich feathers. in which are set the eye
! like parts of peacock feathers to signify
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.
Then printed slips of prayers blessed
by the Pope are scattered among the vast
assemblage, who struggle to obtain pos
session of them. They are priced highly
and the common. people, if they are
lucky enough to get them, hand them
down from generation to generation.

The Joy of Easter NsornjDo

Easter is the morning tide of hope;
the deliverance from the despair of
doubt, from the death of love. The
charm of morning begins very 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

Angels at the sepuIchre.

As we read of the angels at the sepul-
chre Easter 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 the
neamess 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 alb
solute helplessness, and TO receive him
tenderly as he awakens into a spiritual
life.
The word "angels" 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 it 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.-The Helper.

father held an office at the court and
managed to give the boy fair elemen-

became IL. and an operation was per-

life. This did as much as anything
else, perhaps, to sour his disposition.

A wild Flower Garden.

1t will be d fad this year for anna
teur flower lovers to plant, for the ad-
miration of their friends, gardens Of
wild flowers, transplanted from the
woods. Many of the plants found In
the woods and fields have foliage and
flowers as beautiful as the highly Gull
tivated kinds. With the first touch Of
spring, before the snow and ice has dis
appeared from the more densely shad-
ed places, the first wild flowers begin
to bloom, ana there is constant sue
cession of gay blossoms, increasing in
splendor, until late il September, when
many of their wild flowers are at their
best.
BY making trips to the woods at var
ious seasons the flower lover may
transplant such speciments of each
variety as pleases his fancy. AT home a
bed should be prepared for them,
placed where the plants may have some
protection from the hot sun, and be
watered regularly. The soil should be
thoroughly enriched with well-rotted
manure, or some commercial fertilizer
1t is best to plant the wild flowers as
a border, with all varieties mixed, as
most of them are perennials and it
will be unnecessary to replant the Dor
der yearly. except to replace those that
die. Owing to the different Towering
seasons of the various varieties, if the
bed is well furnished with many sorts,
there will be constant succession Of
bloom all the summer. It is best to
begin working the ground for the bed
as soon In the spring as It is dry
enough. The transplanted flowers
should be carefully and regularly wat
cred until they are well established.
Afterwards it is only necessary to keep
the weeds out The seeds of many Of
the best wild flowers can be purchased

with the power to stir the emotions of Il

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 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 a 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-fve 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 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.

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 halo of deep antiquity hang
ing over the city. The solemnity of its
age the grandeur of its associations, cut
q 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 Cnntless generations of all
times, all cree and all races; have left
some token in a)nor of the day at the nu-
merous places made sacred by His pres
ence.
On Easter Ivy 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 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 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 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
1t 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.

Dutch or Cottage Cheese

A tOothsome and nutritious article of
food is made from sour skinned milk,
or buttermilk, by allowing the casein to
coagulate by the action of Tactic acid
already formed, and then expelling the
wate- by the aid of neat. The sour
milk is heated to a temperature of 100
degrees to 135 degrees. The whey is
drained off the curd through a strain
ing cloth, and the curd is then knead
ed by the hand; salt is added, and the
product is improved by the addition of
cream or butter, and a little nutmeg,
and eaten in a fresh state, but it may
be subjected to certain curing processes,
which materially change its character.

Costly Economy.

The most extravagant economy for
a breeder is to use a poor sire. The
adage, THE bull is half the herd,' is
everlastingly true, and to reduce the
standard of the bull is to reduce the
value of the herd by the same percent
age: hence to reduce the investment in
a bull % per cent might save, say, $50
on the bull, but % per cent resulting
reduction in the value Of the herd
would mean a reduction, or loss,
amounting probably to hundreds of
dollars. Too many breeders are so
shortsighted that they can only see the
$50 saved on the purchase of the bull
but cannot see in the succeeding sea-
sons why the output falls in value by
$500 or $1,000 under what it would
have been with a first-class full-blood-
ed sire.-Farmers' Advocate.
