The report is received that the
French government is negotiating for
the purchase of the Paris mansion of
Duchess de Talleyrand, formerly Anna
Gould of New York.. which is desired
for conversion into a museum. The
mansion is duplicate Of the Grand
Trianon. The rumor says the question
of price is the only obstacle in the way
of the conclusion Of the sale, the state
having offered $1,SO0,0OO for the man
sion. but the duchess is asking $2,4OO.-

When they were arrested the day

these hollows in the morainal ridge is
the one holding the picturesque Lake

larger irregular hollows are several

that the sun danced, but two suns
arose that day that light appeared al
MS nativity and darkness at his death
and yet light at both; for even that
darkness was light unto the Gentiles
Illuminated by that obscurity. That
twas the first time the sun set above
the horizon. That, although there were
darkness above the earth, yet there
was light beneath it, nor dare we say
that hell was dark If he we're in it,"
In 170S the British Apollo" finally
settled the question in the following
words:
"old wives, Phoebus, say that on Eas-
ter day
To the music O. tn spheres you do
caper;
If the fact. sir. be true. pray let's the
cause know,
When you have any room in your
paper"
The old wives get merry with spiced
ale and sherry
On Easter, which makes them ro-
nance;
And whilst in a rout their brains whirl
about,
They fancy we caper and dance"
But the conclusion regarding the
dancing sun was not to stand for all
time, since the maidens of Devon
shire today rise early in the morning
of Easter for no other than this iden-
tical purpose. Moreover these ex-
traordinary maidens see more than
the mere dancing of the sun. Their
power of vision is so great that they
can discern a lamb and flag in the
center of the disk.
Much Importance is attached to the |
conduct of the elements on Easter |
day. A piece of Sussex weather lore
informs us that If the sun shines |
Easter day it will shine accordingly |
every day in the year, and the same
they aver is the case with rain. But
other Easter prophets only go to the
extent of saying that it will shine or
rain until Whitsunday.
"A good deal of rain on Easter day
gives a good crop of grass, but little
good hay" runs an ancient proverb.
On this day the east wind and wa
ter also have great power to ward
off illness. If the wind blows from
this direction the people of many To-
calities bathe in water just drawn to
avoid the i'll effects of the east wind
during the coming year Easter eve
IN the continent, at Mecklenburg, the
maiden spreads linen cloth in the
garden and in the morning if the wind
s due east she will wash herself with
t while it is yet damp from dew,
-ain or snow, whichever has pene-
rated it. Or in the morning the serv-
INT will draw water and bring it to
he maiden for her bath.
In Sachsenburg, the peasant rides
lis horse into the stream to insure it
.gainst sickness of any kind through
'ut the year.
Despite these precautions, however,
the wind is not due east while one {
5 getting the water It will have no !
ficacy whatever.
There is more than one good omen i
or Easter. If you wish good luck in {
he coming year Easter eve you must
ut out all fires and light them anew
rom flint and steel. This is special |
against lightning strokes l
s well as good fortune in general

Hon. Michael j. Tanning, of Phil
adelphia, will be in the city on Sun
day tomorrow and will make two
addresses. A mass meeting will be
held at the Methodist church at 8
o'clock on Sunday afternoon and an
other at the First Baptist church on
Sunday night. He is a speaker of
wonderful charm and is known all
over the United States and Canada
as one of the most powerful and
pleasing platform advocates Of the
legal suppression of the liquor traf-
fic. He comes under the auspices of
the W. c. T. U.
Col. John H. Watson in The Bea-
con says: "a devoted man and a
great speaker is coming. In his
youth Mr.. Tanning consecrated his
life to the work of human uplift.
For nearly half century he has been
true to this conservation. Citizens
of every state in the Union have
listened with pleasure to hiseloquent
voice. He has probably delivered
more reform addresses (about Is, 000)
than any other person. Thousands
of intelligent people consider him
to be the most pleasing and power
full Of the platform advocates Of the
suppression Of the liquor traffic and
kindred evils. Thorough" dis
Greet" Sincere" Eloquent"
Competent" Logical" "Forci-
bic, Witty" and effective" are
a few Of the many good things said
about him. Unlike many reformers
he comedies ito others the right Of
private judgment and can be listened
to with pleasure by those who differ
with him in opinion. Hear him at
your first opportunity. The veteran
reformer may never come this way
again."
