Some Evening Rsvsriss.

All the world over, Easter is &
season of great rejoicing, as every
thing begins to cast off the dinginess
Of winter and nature herself exhibits
the spirit of resurrection. Palestine,
the spot where the resurrection we
commemorate took place, is su-
premely emblematic of. the season,
because there the spring suddenly
bursts forth and all the verdure and
flowers spring up as though magic
wand had been waved over the land,
for the excessive dreariness of winter
is broken in the orient when it is still
winter in western lands.

JEFFERSON STANDS SECOND.
This Township Exceeded Only by BrookfieId
In Taxable Wealth.

In point of taxable wealth Jefferson
stands second among the townships of
Linn county, the assessed valuation of
this township being S683,185. This
exceeds Marceline by $4,000 and
Locust creek by over $1,000. This
is accounted for by the fact that TAX
ing the township over the farm land
lays better and is better improved than
in any other part of the county, the
people are progressive, industrious and
prosperous, and Laclede's splendid
school, fine churches and other superior
advantages as residence place is at
tracing very desirable and well-to-
do lot of new people to this locality.

The beauty of the Holy Land a
this season and the peculiar ceremon
les enacted in the oriental churches
combine to draw to the Holy City
pilgrims and tourists from every cor
ner Of the earth to witness these inter-
esting celebrations. No other city il
the world presents so cosmopolitan an
appearance as Jerusalem does at the
time. Russians, Latins, Copts, Ar
menians, Syrians, all gather in large
numbers in the Holy City for this
week. The Russians, to whom East
er is the greatest festivity of the year,
are represented in largest numbers.
They walk wearily over long distanc-
es attired in the quaint Russ;an garb.
carrying their provisions in KNAPP
sacks on their backs. They suffer
many discomports on this long pill
grimage in the hope of thus winning
eternal salvation for themselves or for
the wealthy penitents in whose proxy
they come. They belong to the Ori-
entail Greek church. AS they proceed
through the country, their melodious
singing fills the air.

The christian legends connected
with plants generally explain their
behavior during passion week. The
aspen still shivers with remorse be-
cause when Christ passed it had bold
1y faced the heavens instead of bow
ing its head in company with the 9TH
er trees. The savior cast one look on
it, and the memory of that sorrowful
glance is handed down even to this
generation.
The willow was used for the scourg-
es, and ever since it has dropped its
arms in misery. The elder is COM
monty supposed to be the tree upon
which Judas hanged himself, and it
is not even to be touched as frewood.
However, it affords safe refuge in a
warning of the elements, for not even
will deign to strike it. A
fungus that grows on the elder and is
now known as Jews ears was origin
ally called Judas ears.
The oxalis, or wood sorrel, was
at the foot of the cross and
received some drops Of the precious
blood. These she still carries. The
Italians have the same legend and
call this little blossom "allelulia," as
# the very flowers rejoiced IN the
great gift to the world The scarlet
lnemone, too, is said to bear the
,taips of Christ's blood.
