The Triumph of

HE resurrection means that

" man lives on after the death of
earthly body dies is a matter of
universal observation and experience;
but that the man himself ceases on
that account to love and think, plan
and execute, in the world of love and
wisdom and spiritual expression, is
an inference without the slightest
warrant from observation of expert
ence.
The most that can be said is that
he no longer appears to the senses of
earthly bodies when his own earthly
body is lost as a means of earthly ex-
preston. But that there is an in
dwelling love-and thought world, con-
stantly animating, shaping and en-
ploying matter and giving to it its
values, is manifest in every human
experience. That man comes forth
from this inner world, not only in the
beginning of his existence, but in
every act Of his intellect, will and
body, we know.
1t is therefore reasonable to con-
clude that he continues to exist in 1t

WASHINGTON DIPLOMATS
STRUGGLE WITH EXPENSES

on the present salary.
There are those in Washington who
assert that they cannot comprehend
how the president can afford to enter
tain as he does. They believe he is
living up to every cent of his salary,
and may go beyond it. If the British
ambassador cannot make ends meet
with $42.500 year, and another 10000
added for emergencies, what can the
president accomplish with less? The
British ambassador can curtail his ex-
penses at will. Sir Mortimer Durand
was a. thrifty individual, and he must
have put by a goodly amount for
rainy day. He never gave but one
large ball in his three years service
here, and his dinner parties could be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
Now, the president of the United
States receives $4,000 a year. the use.

is for those who cannot keep up the

BUSY SESSION COMING
FOR SECRETARY TAFT

WASHINGTON.-It is a busy season
w that Secretary Taft will have from
this time on. To discharge what may
be termed his political duties the sec
retary will make two graduating day
addresses. one to the graduating class
OF the University of Iowa and the
other to the students who will go forth
from the University of Minnesota to
grapple with, throw and hog-tie the
various problems of our complex civil
ization. These he will give off some
time in June-if he gets back from a
trip to the canal, to Cuba, Porto Rico

done by contract or by the government

sseak the excuse of the secretary for
going to that island. Porto Rico would

Milwaukee, Wis-Whether or not
there is jest on foot is still to be
found out, but Capt. Daring, of Mil

north pole and found it to be a region
covered by immense ice fields.
Capt. Daring is acknowledged to be
a fictitious name by its bearer, who
has for several months past called at
tention to his balloon and proposed
trip to the north pole. He seemed
perfectly rational. The other day tel
egrams were received in Milwaukee
from him announcing the discovery of
the pole according to program. The
message was as follows;

two years for which he was elected

Sherwood was twice secretary of
state in Ohio having been elected in
1868 and 1870; twice probate Judge of
Lucas county, once mayor of Bryan,

Williams county. and twice a represen-

To get back to congress this time
he had to overcome a Republican ma

carry Wood county, the home of his

other afternoon. The young women
evidently were out for a good tramp,
and walked with the air and determi-
nation of those who walk for the pleas
ure of it.
In short skirts and with no umbrellas
they were quite free to get the full
benefit of their exercise, and the fact
that they had the street almost to
themselves only lent additional zest to
the sport.
Mrs. Longworth wore the short skirt
affected by the Boston girl, who dares
to shorten it little more than the
girl of any other town this side of the
Rockies. Her light brown skirt was
fully four or five inches from the
ground. Above this sensible skirt was
little jacket to match. with which
she wore turban to corr ,pond and
brown furs.

REWARD AFTER So YEARS.
Sailor Who Fought in crimean War
Given Medal by Britain.

Boston.-Fifty-two years after the
close OF his enlistment in the British
navy, Cornelius Doyle, q veteran Of
the Crimean war, who now lives at
Charlestown. the other day received
from Capt. Charles Wyndham. British
consul. heavy silver medal commem-
Grating his service in the feet under
the command of Sir Charles Napier.
Mr.. Doyle has lived in Boston so
years. and in all that time he has met
but one man who was in the Baltic
feet. Sir Charles fleet, and this man
happened to be one Of his former ship
mates from whom he had parted years
before in England, and probably he
would never have received his medal
but for the intercession of Mai. Stokes.
secretary of the British Naval and
Military Veterans association. who
put the wheels in motion in England
which resulted in the presentation of
the medal.
1t has taken over a year to get the
medal ready. and this was because its
pattern had become nearly extinct
and the designers of medals in Eng
land had to go through books in the
British museum to find out the correct
pattern which should be used in max
ing the medal.
The exercises connected with the
presentation of the medal were very
brief. He was accompanied from
Charlestown by a married daughter,
and Capt. Wyndham. after short
speech, pinned the medal on the vet

the consulate and some newspaper

onies. SO there is no need of long dis.
sertation on why he is going there.
Having performed his duties there
the secretary is at liberty to return to
his home and take his flying (figura-
tive. of course) trip to the north and
west to make those speeches to the
collegians.
Then he will be off on trip to the
Philippines. those far-off. dark, choco-
late-colored islands where he left his
heart. If there is one thing above all
others that Taft desires it is to see
those islands formed into a strong
autonomous government. September
Is will be celebrated in the islands.
That will be Taft's birthday. To the
islanders it will be about the same as
February % is to continental Ameri-
ans. Taft will be there to advise and
comfort the little brown brothers that
appear to be getting a degree of civil
ization that is not injected with a
Krag.
Taft, therefore, for one who is said
20 have presidential aspirations, will
have about as much opportunity for
looking after his political prospects as
Patagonian has of plating the next
transit of Venus-if the lady has a
transit.

While the resurrection from the
dead is the pivotal belief upon which
the whole Christian faith turns, the
word Easter is of pagan origin, Eastre
being the Saxon name of an old Teu-
tonic goddess who was the persona
fication of morning and spring. Like
wise, In many of our Easter observ-
ances Christianity has laid its i'm

that leaped so high flame in the
bonfires upon the hillsides now stead

reverently crowding the churches.
Our own earliest recollections of
Easter are flashing memories of those
first Easter eggs-red. yellow and
glorious royal purple-that rolled out
of fairyland into everyday life to
mystify our wondering eyes with their
strange beauty. And by happy coin
cidence, the egg is the Oldest of the
symbols connected with Easter. In
fact, II 1t were an aspirant for men,

antique superstitions 1t could trace
its geneaology back to ancient Persia
and Egypt. The Persians, looking
upon their new year-which comes
on the 18th of March-as the renewal
of all things, celebrated the festival
by exchanging colored eggs. The
Egyptians considered an egg a sacred
emblem of the renovation of mankind
after the Deluge. From them, the
Jews adopted 1t for a sign and sym

type of their departure from Egypt

feast Of the Passover, eggs always

the egg a place of honor in the cele-

You will have to 60 a long way,~

before you find a body Of men more
clever than those cabinet makers who
produce goods to satisfy the desire Of
the public for furniture made of old

woods by means Of chemicals, and a,
chemist would be surprised If he were(
to have the run Of one Of those fac1
tories for day.

one of the easiest Of their processes.

ever pieces are required are made Of

then hermetically closed up and the

ing to the age which is required. Tho
coloration will extend to a depth Of
nearly a quarter Of an inch If the room
