EASTER IN JERUSALEM.
Ceremony Of the Divine Fire at the
Holy S%epulchre,


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
n 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 II another in being first
to light their local shrines with the
divine fame.
A writer in the Travel Magazine
records having seen two rival runners
put down their candles and indulge
in a sanctuary 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 fame OF the other.

Forget. O world: thy sadness!

Forget. O world; thy sadness!
Away thy sorrow fling,
For in triumphant giadneSs
The bells Of Easter ring!
The Lord. our God, is risen;
The stone is rolled away
That barred the grave-the prison

Ring out, o Bells, the story
To earth's remotest parts
Ring out its solemn glory,
And say TO human hearts
That see 10 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.

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature r~e-painting?
We'll, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen.

But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
h~ouseowner should know in a general
way, when a surface is in proper con
dition to receive paint, what kind Of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inttamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbliny sound c. inn
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an innaIned condition OF the mucous surfaces.
