How Wife Can please Hubby.

The wise woman is she who keeps
neat and trim in dress, dainty in per-
son, and alert and poised in mind, that
in so doing she may favorably stand
comparison with the business women
with whom her husband comes in con-
tact.
Most men, even those we'll past mid
die age, place high value upon ex-
ternals, and the woman who assumes
that she can hold mans love indef1-
nitely, regardless of her personal ap-
pearance, is, to my mind, making a
grave mistake
More than one wife, serene in the
knowledge of her husbands loyalty,
fails to realize that that same loyalty
is due more to the mans sense of duty
and conscientious self-control than to
the fact that his wife possesses the
qualities which actually hold him true
to her in spirit as well as in deed

MEANING OF HORSEPOWER
Mistake to Think 1t Is the Greatest
Momentary Strength of the
Animal.

To lift $50 pounds one foot in one
second requires what is known as one
horsepower. Similarly, horsepower
is able to raise twice that weight one
foot in twice the time, or one-half
foot in just that time. Moreover, it
can raise half $50 pounds one foot
in half a second, or two feet in a
second, and SO on. Therefore when
We lift one-fourth of that weight, 1879
pounds, four feet in one second, we
are exerting horsepower.
Accordingly, when person who
weighs 1879 pounds runs upstairs at
the rate of four feet a second, he is
exerting the equivalent of a horse
power. For man weighing twice
that much, 275 pounds, it would be
necessary to climb at the rate of only
two feet second to exert horse
power. 1t is possible to do much
more.
AS a matter of fact, horse often
exerts many times horsepower The
average horse can draw wagon up
hill where a ten-horse-power engine
with the same load would fail. A
horsepower does not represent the
greatest momentary strength of the
average horse, but is measure of
the power which he can exert con-
tinuously.

Knowing that during the days of the actual
Easter celebration we would have little oppor-
tunity to see these things, owing to the great
crowds we took occasion to visit them the day
following our arrival Among the principal
places of interest in the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher are the supposed tomb of Christ, the
stone of JUNCTION, the holy sepulcher, the Greek
church, the chapel of ST. Helena and Mount
Calvary.
The first of the Easter services in the holy
city consists of the washing of feet" This
occurs on the Thursday before Good Friday. 1t
is a Greek ceremony, short and unexciting and
takes place in the courtyard Of the church Not
wthstanding that it is unexcting every available
space in the courtyard and every commanding
window and rooftop occupied the Greek
patriarch bathed the feet of twelve of his priests
as they were seated upon a little platform
On the next day--Good Friday-we witnessed
the Latin ceremony of the crucifxion. This is
interesting in way, but somewhat shocking to
the occidental idea. This ceremony takes place
over what is said to be the actual site of tho
crucifxion It is performed before cross on
which dummy figure has been nailed. At the
conclusion the figure is taken down from the
cross and placed in white sheet the crown of
thorns and the nails drawn from the hands and
feet" being placed on silver salvers. After this
a procession is formed which leads to the stone
of JUNCTION, where sermons delivered in six
different languages
Saturday afternoon we witnessed the ceremony
of the holy fire." to the minds of the pilgrims
the most important of all. There is certain
impressveness about it, but the grandeur Is lost
in the mad struggle between the Latin and
Greek worshipers that changes what should be
a solemn ceremony into yeritable mob scene
At the time we were there much talk was heard
of either abandoning this ceremony or greatly
modifying 1t, and must confess that all of our
party agreed that unless it could be conducted
in an orderly manner it should certainly be aban-
doned
There is an old tradition in Jerusalem that
long after Christ had arisen and departed from
the holy sepulcher holy fire from heaven was
seen to descend into the sepulcher Time has
deprived this tradition of the greater part of its
weight but it must be admitted that many OF
the poor faithful but ignorant pilgrims still be-

WOODS THAT ARE VALUABLE
MANY Countries Contribute Varieties
In Great Demand for Various
Purposes.

Rosewood is the name applied to the
wood of different trees in their respec-
tive countries so the commercial rose
wood is not always the same. The rose
wood OF Brazil is considered the finest
in every way, and is made into beauti-
full furniture.
The myrtle tree, common one in
Palestine, is useful because its leaves
are used for sachet powders, and from
it an oil is obtained which is used in
perfume The myrtle is an emblem of
the Jewish feast of the passover and is
mentioned several times in the Bible.
1t is not large tree, for 20 feet is
usually its maximum height.
Ebony of the best quality comes
from India, Ceylon and other tropical
countries, where it is obtained in logs
sometimes Is and 20 feet long. The
darkness of the wood increases with
the age of the tree. 1t is very hard
wood and hence it is desirable for fur
niture making. It's unique color, too,
makes it always worthy of notice. and
it was combined with ivory by the
Greeks to bring out its color.
Satinwood is produced both in the
East and West Indies, and, indeed, an
inferior variety comes from Florida. 1t
is another very hard wood, of fine,
light grain-almost canary yellow in
color. 1t is used for cabinet work and
nowadays very largely for the backs
of hair brushes and clothes brushes. 1t
takes very, high, satiny polish.
Lignum vitae, another very hard
wood, comes also from the West Indies
1t is so hard that it is useful for MAX
ing pestles, pulleys and other things
that require great strength. 1t has
flower like the hepatica, which comes
in clusters.

his haart,s dasire was to light this candle by the
holy fire. Within ten minutes the thousands
struggling around the holy sepulcner lnclosufe
had lighted their candles, and the church was a
mass of tiny lights from each of these candles
We were told that much better order had
been maintained on this Easter during the holy
fire ceremony than ever before, and we could but
wonder what some of the past ceremonies were
like, since Ave persons were removed on stretch
ers while we looked on, having been severely IN
jured by being pushed down and trampled on by
the struggling mob.
It was interesting but by no means comfort
ing to note the hatred exhibited every hand
by the Turks.
We watched the line forming for procession
where the Turkish soldiers were drawn up as

crowds during parade in this country. When

and assisted to a vantage point if he cared to

but rather surreptitiously, the soldier stared

and viciously jabbed backward with rifle butt,
generally grievously hurting whoever was unfor-

against the lines. Above all it was the Armenans
who were thus abused.

Nervous Energy.

In every Individual, at given time

brain. This function seems to rest
in the chromatin granules of the nerve
cells, and it has been shown repeat

Although it was midday when we arrived and
the sur beat down mercilessly, many of these
tired pilgrims had spread small scarf or shawl
across sticks and were sleeping in its shade.
Still they continued to flock into the city, carry
ing palm branches in their hands, until all the
highways round about Jerusalem were lined
with these weary but devout people.
One could not help plying them, while at the
same time admiring their wonderful devotion
Thousands of them had walked hundreds OF
miles through Russia and across inhospitable
Turkey, being treated in the latter place more
like dogs than human beings. If there is one
thing above another a Turk hates, something
that arouses his Mohammedan indignation, it is
the sight of these Christians, devout members OF
the Greek church, plodding afoot across the
sultan's domain with but one thought in view
Ito kiss the tomb of Christ. You can only
marvel at their religious zeal which enables them
to withstand the tortures Of long journey and
the abuse of the cold-blooded Turks
Fortunately, our quarters had been reserved
long in advance, otherwise we, too, would nave

the highway AS these pilgrims come in sight
of the Holy Land they fall upon their knees. fac
ing the Jerusalem they love- simple and beau-

Jerusalems places of interest during the Easter
week are many. They made memorable
through their association with Christ on and
prior to the day of his crucifxion. We first Wis
tied the Garden of Gethsemane, where. so many
years ago, he went to pray, Not my will, but
thine" This is really very small plot of ground,
about TWENTY-FIVE feet square, containing many
flower beds and some extremely old olive trees.
Always kept in good order on the occasion Of
Easter this hallowed garden is made glorious
with beds of flowers in full bloom
There is also the Via Dolorosa, or the street
of sorrows" through which Christ passed on his
way to Calvary. Along this street are the varl-
Gus stations of the cross. recording the incidents
in this memorable journey.
Then there is the Church of the Holy Sepul-
cher. where the elaborate Easter ceremonies are
held This church is in reality massive build
ing containing vast congeries of churches,
chapels and shrines in which the various sects

seven socalled "holy places" although 1t must
be said that there is grave question as to the
authenticity of many of these.
AS we approached the outer gates of this
church we were annoyed by the painfully incon-
gruous note which was struck by the deafening
medley caused by the yelling and screaming of
dealers in articles de piete, or, in other words

S WE crossed Palestine, riding over
those ancient byways that wind
through hill and dale leading to the
holy city, we were deeply impressed
by the pilgrims-not only by their
numbers but by their very air OF
patient eagerness-as they trudged
the dusty roads footsore and weary.
AS we neared the city we knew that
Jerusalem was already filed to over
flowing with these pilgrims, because
the roads leading into the city were
lined on either side with crowds of
these pilgrims camping in the bitches,
with their pots and pans and bedding.
