Ever since the world began, his
tory teaches us that every age has
had its predominating thought. l
will very briefly give few illustra-
tions of the thoughts so far as his
tory teaches us, solely, for the pur-
pose of bringing out the facts shall
dictate.
The thought of Greece was art,
and that thought pursued made
Greece a land Of beauty. The
thought of Rome was power, and
that thought ever being uppermost,
in early history, made Rome the
mistress of the world. The thought
of the early Christian ages was mar
tyrdom, and influenced by it, multi
tudes gladly gave their blood for
Christ. The. thought of the middle
ages was manly honor, and this
thought infused into society one Oh
the noblest and most elevating sen.

Before long the royal family was

that the rabble of Paris were rapid

The assembly. after the scenes of

July IA, 1870, was held the Feast OF
the Federation and with extraord-
mary pomp, and in the presence OF
the National Assembly, of the NUM-
cipalities of the realm and vast
assemblage, the King took an oath
that would faithfully respect
the order of things that had been
established"
Shortly after this the evil conse-

The french
Revolution.
Vol. XXVI.-No. "a
By w. l..

~S~~~~ - w.
The general condition of France at
the opening of this, the starting point
of revolutionary feeling that spread
over Europe, may be sumed up in
few words thus: The abuses in the
system of government were many, the
church and nobility were generally
disliked. there was discussions be-
tween the church, the crown and the
mobiles, to the discredit of all author
ity, while what of the ruling power
there was left was divided and de-
cayed. and the peasantry and
bourgeoise were heavily oppressed
for the benifit of the members of the
higher French aristocracy.
When the States General first met
at Varsaillis, May 9Th 1889, no min
lister of Louis XVI. and few as far
as we know among the thinkers of
France, had the least apprehension
of any coming danger, yet the next
day dissension broke out between the
mobiles and clergy against the COM
mons which ended, on June II,
when the commons having won
to their side part of the mobiles
and lower clergy, declared that
nothing should prevent their pro-
ceeding to begin the work of Ma
tional regeneration" Three days
later the commons found the great
hall at Versailles closed D d they
we're told it was wanted for Royal
convenience" Many expected a
sudden act of violence but one of the
more courageous proposed that the
body take ITSELF to an old Tennis
Court" This was done and here eacl
member swore solemn oath that
they would never seperate u t
they had set the Constitution on 9
sure foundation"
While the States General was
struggling for existence at Versaillis
events of grave imp ortance were
taking place in Paris. The people
of Paris, awakening to their power
established the National Guard. Th'
meeting of the French Guards ant
the taking of the Bastille on July II
were among the more important o
these movements. Shortly a te
this the King visited Paris am

Easter Comes Early
This Season

Dressmakers and miliners will have
to work livelfer this winter than they
have in many years in order to get
Easter gowns and hats ready for their
customers time. Not in 9b years
has Easter come any earlier in the
year than it will in 1913 and it will not
come as early again for another ST
years
1t is not likely that many persons now
living will be around to bother about
new hat or gown when Easter again
comes as early it will in 1918.
The next Easter falls on March %.
Not since 1918 did it arrive sooner in
the year. In that year 1t came on
March %. Not until the year 1000 will
il come SO early again.
Sixty-seven years ago. and 56 years
ago, respectively, Easter occurred on
the same date it does in 1913. The next
year when Easter will pay an early
visit will be 1910, when it will arrive

1888 and 1894. 1t will come again on
March rs in 1867, 1878 and 1889.
The latest Easter of the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries was In 1859
when it fell on April "a. In 1S4S and
1905 il occurred on April 2S Last
Easter was on April Z.
As Easter is the most important of
all the movable feasts of the Chris
tan church, ii determines all the rest.
Hence this year Ash Wednesday comes
February 5. Ascension Thursday, May
l, and Pentecost, May II.
Easter can never come earlier than
March 20, and the only time 1T did or
could do this from the years 1901 to
1000 was in 1918. This was made pos
sibe by having a full moon on March 21
and the following day being Sunday.
This coincidence does not occur more
than once in century and 1t is only
then that the Feast of the Ascension
can occur in April and then April 80.
The rule provides that Easter shall
be the Sunday that follows the four
teenth day of the calendar moon which
falls upon or next after March 81.

in rainy weather.

Mr. O'Rourke has had the subject
of planting up with a number of farm
ers already, and he and DR.. 7. w. Ober-
lin. who is member of the city mar

among the farmers again in the near
future to continue the propaganda.
Quite number of farmers in the
vicinity of Hammond sell their crops
In advance to Chicago buyers, while
others till che soil with view of ind
ing a market at the Libbey, Mcneil
