A G OF EASTER.

The story runs that when Adam
felt death approach he called his son
Seth to his side and babe him ask the
archangel, the keeper of the garden,
for a balsam that should save him
from death.
"The time of pardon is not yet
come," said the archangel. -Four
thousand years must pass. But as a
token that his future pardon is as
sured the wood wherein redemption
shall be won shall grow from Adams
tomb"
He then gave three seeds to Seth
babe him place them in his fathers
mouth when he died. Adam died
three days later. Seth obeyed the di-
rections of the archangel, and the
place of his fathers sepulcher was
Golgotha, where in course of time
three trees grew from the seeds. One
was a cedar, another a cypress and
the third a pine. 1t was with a DOUGH
from one of these trees that Moses
performed his miracles in Egypt,
brought water out of the rock and
healed those whom the serpents had
bitten in the wilderness.
After a time the three trees incor-
porated themselves with each other
and became a single tree, beneath
which David sat when he bewailed his
sins. In the days of Solomon the tree
had become the finest of all trees, SO
was cut down to assist in the building
of the temple. But magic seemed to
have taken possession of the wood,
for nothing which it was wanted to
serve for would answer until at last
Solomon cast the tree over Cedron so
that all might trample on it as they
crossed the brook.
There it was discovered by the
queen of Sheba, and she, recognizing
it's virtue, had it raised. 1t was then
buried, but the spot where it lay be-
came the pool of Bethesda and heal
ed all the sick who focked to it.
When the time of the crucifxion drew
near the beam of wood rose to the sur
face and was brought out of the water
and when the executioners sought for
a beam for the cross they discovered
this and found that it fitted their pur-
pose. So the prophecy was fulfilled.

Easter In
Various Lands

In nearly all Christian countries the
recurrence of Easter has been celebra-
ted with various ceremonies and pop
ular sports and observances.
In the Netherlands, or Holland, a
country famed for its flowers, espe-
cially tulips, blossoms play a large
part in the days celebration. For
days before the holiday the Dutch ca
nails bear on their placid surfaces
many barges laden high with frag-
rant and snowy masses of bloom.
Some of the Easter customs in the
various countries are curious indeed.
In the north of England you may still
hear the old rime:
It'd, mid and misera,
CARING, palm and Pasch egg day.
The first line refers to Christmas,
the Epiphany and Lent. Carvings
are stepped peas fried in butter, with
pepper and salt, and eaten on midlent
or mothering Sunday, as the fourth
Sunday in Lent is sometimes called.
Palm Sunday Immediately precedes
Passion week and is so called from
the branches of palm trees strewn in
our Saviour's path at the time of his
triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
Pasch eggs r Easter eggs boiled
so hard that you a play at ball
with them, dyed with various colors
and often having inscriptions or land
scapes traced upon them.
Easter eggs symbolic the resurrec-
ton. AS one old writer says, GAS
the bird imprisoned within the shell
comes to life and liberty at the ap-
pointed time, so did our Saviour on
Easter morning burst the gates of
the grave" The eggs were at first
dyed scarlet, in memory of the blood
of Christ shed upon the cross.

| feel in myself the future life. l
am like a forest once cut down-the
new shoots are stronger and livelier
than ver | am rising, I know, to-
ward the sky. The sunshine is on my
head. The earth gives me its gener-
u sap, but heaven lights me with
reflection of unknown worlds.
You say the soul is nothing but the
resultant of the bodily powers. Why
then, is my soul more luminous when
my bodily powers begin to fail ?
Winter is on my head, but eternal
spring is in my heart. There I
breathe at this hour the fragrance of
the hlacs, the violets and the roses as
at twenty years.
When l go down to the grave l can
say, like so many others,"I have fin
ished my days work" But l cannot
say, 81 have finished my life" My
days work will begin the next morn
ing. The tomb is not a blind alley;
it is a thoroughfare. 1t closes on the
twilight; it opens with the dawn.

OFFICIALS RETURN
 FROM LOUISVILLE President Brown of Fair As sOciatiOn Pleased With
 Shows Coming Here

R. A. Brown, president of the Alabama the executive committee and Sam H Fowlkes. secretary, returned yesterday from visit to the Kentucky State fair at Louisville. They succeeded in secur- ing a large numer of the finest ex- hibits at the Kentucky fair and at the same time witnessed the performances of the free attractions and saw the car nival shows, all of which have been se- cured for the Birmingham fair.
 In discussing the results of the trip President Brown said
 q knew that we had secured some of the best attractions on the road for the Alabama State Fair. but I was most agreeably surprised to see just what high class attractions we had. The eight free attractions shown at the Kentucky State fair, which, by the way. Is one of the largest and most successful in the country, will all be in Birmingham October to 16 during our fair. and in addition we have signed several oth- CTS that are recommended as being of the very best. These free attractions made pig nlt Tn LOUISVILLE ana the officials of the fair association told me that they had proved to be big drawing cards Their two performances daily are always witnessed by enormous crowds
 But the most gratifying thing to me was the Kennedy shows which l saw at Louisville. There are 3 of these at fractions, all of which will be here at our fair. I knew the Kennedy shows were considered among the best on the road, but l was not prepared to see such & magnificent collection of amuse- ments as they had. The Kennedy shows are not like any carnival attractions l have seen in the past but are more on the order of attra ctions one sees at a national exposition.
 These shows were just from Toronto where they were the main amusement feature at the Canadian National ex- position. The Toronto fair had an at- tendance of over one million during the two weeks it was open and the Ken nedy shows cleared in net profits 342,- 900. That will give you some idea oi the magnitude of the organization"
 Secretary Fowlkes secured a num- Der of fine exhibits for the Alabama State Fair. Among the number which will be brought here will be several car loads of fine horses and cattle. These features of the Kentucky fair were es- pecially fine, the live stock department being one of the best in America.
