high wind, and people in its course
hadvery little time to save anything
after the smoke was first discov-
cred. Those who suffered loss, as
far as we have heard, are Andrew
Hegley, whose barn and 80 bushels
of grain were destroyed. Chris
Bohl lost his barn and some hay,
but by hard work saved his home.
Nern Schlosser's house was burned
with all it contained. 1t seems
like 'chesnut'' to reiterate the
warning to be careful with fire
when everything is as dry as it is
now. 1t seems there are people
who will never learn to be careful
until they have had some bitter
experience.

The Catholic supper, entertain
ment and dance, on the afternoon
and evening of st Patrick's Day
were successful in every particu-
lar and netted the society a neat
sum. The supper was an elegant
one, as the writer can testify, and
reflected great credit upon the
ladies who prepared it. The opera
house WAS well filled for the en-
tainment and each number was
greeted with generous applause.
A large number attended the dance
and CHASED the glowing hours
with flying feet" until the early
hours of the morning.
Halley's comet is now approach
ing its passage behind the sun,
that is, the sun will soon be be-

that it will not be visible. About
March 3lst the comet should be
discovered by sharp eyes without
the aid of telescope. 1t will ap-
pear in the east before sunrise.
About May 18 and 19 the earth and
the moon will be passing through
the comets tail and on May 20
when the comet sets at 8:l1 p. m.
it will appear as a grand spectacle
and OF enormous size.

Why Easter Has ChangeabIe Date

Because of the fact that Easter
is a movable festival. being con
trOlled bN certain conditions Of the
moon. it may be celebrated any
time between March - and April
%. 1t occurs this year March -
and in 1886 Easter fell upon its
latest date. which will not occur
again until l943. In 1918 Easter
occurred on March %, which will
not happen again until some time
in the twenty-tirst century.
Although Easter had originally
naught to do with the resurrection
OF Christ being a purely pagan fes-
tival in honor of the goddess of the
moon, yet Easter Sunday began to
be observed to commemorate the
rising of Christ from the dead the
first century after Christ died. In
fact Easter became a Christian fes-
tivnl for the first time in the year
,GS.
!. .tagh the records showing
exact date of crucitixtion and res
direction had been lost. it was re-
membered that the Savior had been
crucified during Passover week.
Then there arose contention or
difference of opinion in the Chris
tian churches as to when this fes-
tivals should be kept. The churches
of Asia Minor celebrated Easter
on the same day on which the
Jews observed the Passover. or on
the fourteenth day of the first
month, Nizan, which always began
with the turn Of the moon. cor
responding to our March. The
| followers of the Jewish chronOl-
ogy were called Quarto-decimans,
because they kept Easter on the
fourteenth day after the appear
ance of the moon.
According to this method the
crucifxtion would not always be
celebrated on Friday, nor the
resurrection on Sunday hence
there would be no Good Friday
nor Easter Sunday. The Western
churches however observe the an
niversary Of the Sunday following
the Passover day.
But this difference in custom
was settled in 325 A. d., when the
Council of Nice summoned partly
for this purpose by Emperor Con
stantine passed a resolution for the
old Jewish custom to be abandoned.
This Council delared that Easter
Sunday should be observed on the
first Sunday after the full moon
occurring on or next after the
twenty first day Of March. Should
the full moon fall on Sunday
The Sunday after is Easter Sunday
The reason for this arrangement
was that March II is very near the
date of the vernal equinox and ira.
dition has it that this equinox oc.

Fly Killing.

Some doubt is expressed as to the eff
cacy of certain methods of killing flies
by wholesale. Formaidehyde, 1t is said,
does not, as claimed, kill the insects
when teaspoonful is dropped into a pint
OF water, nor is 1T always assured that
twenty-five drops of carboiic acid poured
on a hot shovel will exterminate a room
fui OF the pests. It may be that these
remedies are not always reliable, but
there is no doubt OF the virtue of a
sound smack with a folded newspaper or
a wire fy spatter. There IL no lack Of
means Of getting flies out of the house.
A little coed management with window
shades and "scarers' will do the work
The real problem is to prevent the propa-
CATION OF the flies. That is far more i'm
portant than the mere exclusion OF the
mischievous creatures from the domestic
premises. which can always be effected
Flies cannot breed In clean places That
is the fundamental axicm on which fly
determination rests. II every householder
will clean his yard. cover his garbage
can, open up the dark corners to the
light, keep vines trimmed away from the
ground and exclude every particle of
trash in all forms there is no chance
iof the MES 10 fnuItfpiy. Then the re-
sponsibility falls upon the keepers of
stables. where flies find their most ia
vorable propasating conditions. nyiess
stable is not an inpossibility Good man
agement here. as In the house, Is alone
necessary TO prevent ny propagation. The
careful disposal Of refuse. the screening
Of manure pits and the observance gen
orally OF sanitary conditions will render
any stable fyless.
In fly terms cleanliness must be abso-
lutte. That is TO say. there must be per-
feet neatness. If every householder in
Washington will adopt the sanitary
standard that makes for the elimination
Of nies the city will be benefited in
health by far more than the relief as
sured from diseases which those insects
carry A nyless town will mean a clean
town in every particular. This Is not an
impossible ideal. save as 1t Is difficult to
persuade individuals that their own per-
sonal self interest demands attention to
this detail of life. Thus the anti-hy cam
paign becomes q campaign OF education,
as In the matter OF tuberculosis In view
of the great gains that have been scored
IN that propaganda IL is not too much to
hope for the fiyiess city in the near fu-
ture.

Among the Wilson boomers is former
Senator James Smith, long power In
Jersey politics, but for some years out OF
ONCE. His senatorial term-he had but
one-covered the period between 1853 and
1890 He was on deck, therefore, when
the democratic party. as one of the
duties It assumed when Mr.. Cleveland
was returned to the White House, revis-
ed the tariff.
It IL OF Importance at this time to re-
call the fact that Mr.. Smith in that con-
troversy opposed Mr.. Cleveland's inter-
probation of the partys platform, He
stood with Mr.. German. and helped the
Maryland senator recast the Wilson Dill

The others lost their seats and passed

Mr.. Smith is just now. after decade
trying to get in touch again with win

1t will not help DR.. Wilson to have as
his principal lieutenant this former lieu
tenant of Mr.. German. That is to say,
it will not. help him away from home.
where his ambition to be governor will
be read as the first stage Of an ambition
to be President.
If Dr. Wilson is riff-for.revenue-
onlyer how can he consort with James
Smith? II he is not q tariff for-revenue-
onlyer. but agrees with James Smith on
that subject how can he ask the support
either of the Cleveland men in the east,
or of the Bryan men in the west when
the tariff is again the issue, and Cleve-
landites and Bryanites, though differing
so widely about other things. think alike
about that?
One could wish to see 50 square and
excellent man as DR.. Wilson continue
in a field which he adorns, and where
there is such wide room for usefulness.
AS political leader, particularly at this
time, he would find himself cast for an
unfamiliar part, and beset by many ~
pulsive embarrassments.
