EASTER IN JERUSALEM.
Ceremony of the Divine Fire at the
Holy SepuIchre.


An event OF Easter Sunday in .Jeru-
salem is the ceremony commemorate
ing the tradition of the rising of the
celestial fire from the sepulchre of
Christ.
The Greek Patriarch enters the
sanctuary of the sepulchre, the door
closes behind him and the surging,
tossing, tumultuous multitude await
the coming of the fire.
Suddenly out of the right hand win
dow in the wall of the sepulchre shoot
flames of fire and in an instant every
one of the thousands has produced a
candle and dashes forward to light it
at the mystic fire.
The light thus taken from the Holy
Sepulchre is instantly carried to all
the Christian villages round about
Jerusalem, and feet-footed young men
vie with one another in being first
to light their local shrines with the
divine flame.
A writer in the Travel Magazine
records having seen two rival runners
put down their candles and indulge
in sanguinary battle with knives and
sticks until the light of one of them is
put out. There is no joke meant here :;
each is striving desperately to extin.
guish the flame of the other.

THE MERRY HA-HA CURE.

the Lady's Pictorial, few things make
one laugh to this extent, and what is
one persons meat where hilarity is
concerned may prove so poisonous to
another as to plunge him to the very
depths of depression.
There are people who will double
up with merriment when they seq

"the funniest thing they ever saw"
but most nervous patients probably
would not laugh at all if in order to

to excite their hilarity by throwing
relatives and servants down stairs.

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr. Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as President much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufac-
turers for the honor of selling him a
car and the public watched with in
terest to see what Mr. Taft's choice
would be. The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would be Sc
lected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to Mr. Taft as the most de-
sirable
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation
but, with his usual thoroughness, de-
termined to have an investigation
made Of all the principal makes Ac-
cordingly, he asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars, visited a number of
factories so that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally, they
investigated the records Of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.

BROADWAY CHEFS skEPTlc.
Texas Feast of Humming Birds
Tongues Called a Grand Bluff.

Tongues Called Grand Bluff.
Chefs of the restaurants along
Broadway were stirred when they
were told of a dispatch from Texas
about the dish of humming birds
tongues to be served at a banquet in
San Antonio. They fumed and they
sputtered as they thumbed the we'll
worn pages of cook books handed
down by generations of white aproned
ancestors To be beaten by prairie
cooks from the Rio Grande was
enough to ruffle the calmest temper
at the range.
Its &c one grand fakaire!" shouted
a fat little man amid the rattle and
clatter of pots and pans. "Humming
birds tongues. Bah! ley are like
the toothpick in re pie. To make one
bite, 5OO!"
Five hundred dollars?" he was
asked.
"Humming birds, 500, to catch them,
yes? Take re week, re month to get
re fnouthful.''
Another chef, with moustachios, eye
brows an dhands elevated, exclaimed
Impossible. The feasts of the Ro-
man emperors have humming bird
tongue, maybe Texas do it? No. If
New Orleans, perhaps. But a dish
like this from the land of the frying
pan. No, no, no! A hundred times
not Mutton grease and humming
birds, never. Canard! What you call
in your American poker, the grand
bluff"

EASTER BELLS.

Forget, o world; thy sadness!
Away thy sorrow fling!
For in triumphant gladness
The bells of Easter ring!
The Lord, our God, is risen;
The stone is rolled away
That barred the grave-the prison
Of death is burst today.
Ring out, o Bells! the story
To earth's remotest parts
Ring out its solemn glory,
And say to human hearts
That see no rays of dawning-.
Whose life in darkness gropes-
The Resurrection morning
Awaits our buried hopes,
When through deaths opening portal
And from the riven sod.
We rise to life immortal,
In Christ, our risen God!

EVERYBODY WRITING PLAYS.

A Woman Play Brokers Plan to Give
Genius a Chance.
During a chat the other day vita
Miss Alice Kauser, a we'll known play
broker of New York l learned much
about the oversupply of bad plays and
the demand for really good ones. en-
stead Of rearing families, teaching,
following a domestic career Or attend
ing to any of the homely duties in
life, men and women now want to
write plays and they think they have
the divine spark, or at least they fan
cy they know enough to furnish an
entertainment for the public" said
Miss Kauser. "The result is that we
have a market flooded with hopelessly
bad stuff. 1t reminds me of what An
drew Lang said once when he visited
the Paris salon. What stupendous
amount of mediocrity there is in art.
Il think the schools of today are re-
sponsible for this lowering of the lit
crary standard for certainly it has
sunk below that of a few years ago,
when it was the work of men of talent
and geniuses to give a written mes
sage to the world and not for every
school boy or girl to write something
not worth reading. l think there
should be law passed making it pun
ishable to write mediocre plays or
stories. Then only genius would sur
vive."
Miss Kauser had a word to say
about the disease now raging among
her sex, "egomania," which is the
curse of so many women, and is
spreading day by day. Besides being
a remarkably clever business woman,
Miss Kauser understands housekeep-
ing, an art which is being rapidly lost
among women of this decade. She
entertains delightfully."-, and her din
ners are no less a feast than a flow
Of soul. Maeterlinck, Sudermann and
Hauptmann, whom she represents in
this country, are the friends whose
homes she visits on her summer trips
to Europe.

a New York Easter Story

Mamma told me, I remember,
Once, while sitting on her knee,
That the angels never weary,
Watching over her and me,
And that if we're good
And sister told me just the same be-
fore
They will let US into heaven,
When they see us at the door"
And when the song was finished
Miss Amaryllis Hope, whose deft fin
gers played the accompaniment, jump
ed up from the piano stool and seized
the small alien and kissed her rap
turously,, all the 700 little mothers ap-
plauding as big children do at the OPP
era. All except Mrs. Jonathan Will
Jams, an elderly woman whose hus-
band is the proprietor Of a big dry
goods store. She sat with her elbows
on her knees, her tiny piece of en-
broidery called handkerchief crush
ed into a wad in her hands, and one
big tear coursing down her cheek into
her mouth, and the taste of the tear
was very, very bitter, like aloes. Her
husband was very busy man.
One little daughter of a Nihil1st
from Russia, commenting on the kiss,
said:
Il thought that God was dead, but
he surely must be alive today

watered at the sight of it. And many

/ "Out of the mouths of babes and
sucklings cOmeth wisdom"
And the ice cream! All done up in
packages in tissue paper! And such
generous slices! Why, you cannot get
such a big slice in an ice cream store,
really. What larks! What larks!
There never, never was such an after
noon on the East side!
And when the ice cream was all
eaten and the plates were scraped
clean, came the distribution of the
presents to those who had kept their
lilies for the year. Standing on a
raised platform, in full bloom, were
some lilies, all representing the
beauty and the CORY of the Christ.
The majority Of the lilies were pure
white. These were more frequent,
because they are cultivated more ex-
tensively for decorative purposes on
Easter. There was one gorgeous
specimen of the lily. This was very
rare specimen in New York. It was
imported from New South Wales by
a wealthy member of the Little Moth
ers' Aid society. 1t stood in a pot
three feet across the top, and was or
namented by clusters of large Grim
son flowers. 1t was a splendid beauty.
There were specimens of the Turk
Cap lily in full bloom, the flowers re-
sembling a turban. There were the
orange lily, the Southern red lily, the
tiger-spotted lily. The sight of these
beautiful blooms stimulated the i'm
agination Of the spectators. but they
were too expensive to be given to the
children.
