FARMER'S WIFE EARNS AUTO
Helps Husband With Carpen IT Work ; He Sells Ills Wheat
 at $1.50.

Culver, Kan.-Last summer before D. H. Knott threshed his wheat he de- cided to hold the crop for higher price. He built granaries and repaired others on his farm. but the work of harvesting and threshing made labor scarce and he finally secured his wife's services in assisting in the car penter work and she make a good hand. When the work was completed and the threshing machine was ready for lis stacks, Mrs Knott said: Now. husband, what am I to get for my services?"
 Well, when wheat reaches a dollar and half will sell and we will have a motor car," was the answer.
 The wheat is sold and Mir. Knotts bank account shows that he received a dollar and half bushel. Mrs, Knott is waiting for the auto.

MOTLEY CROWD
Gorgeous Scenes in Constantine pie During the Celebration
 of Easter.

UrHRISTOS ANESTI''-"Christ is
 N risen'-is the Easter cry in Con- stantinople that you hear on all sides, accompanied by the exchange of the traditional kiss. "Paskalia Foulia'- flowers of Easter time"-are sold everywhere to the festive throng in the narrow streets. In the butcher shops you see the passover lambs with gilded feet and the choice pieces the kidneys-placed on gold foil.
 The variety of types and costumes seen in this throng where the West meets the East is most remarkable. All the Christians of the Levant are there: Bulgarians in embroidered jackets; Greeks from the mountains, sporting the fustanella, the kilt which resem- bles the dancers skirt; burly men from the Adriatic, Levantines, Ar menians; ladies in the latest Paris fashions, genuine and otherwise, and of course, host of French, Germans, Italians, Austrians, Russians, English and Americans.
 In the Balkans, Austria, Germany in fact, all parts of Europe, one finds countless Easter customs that were apparently of very ancient heather origin quite unrelated to the feast of the resurrection.
 The many nationalities of Austria Hungary afford a particularly wide field in this respect, since the princi- pal ones, Germans, Slavs. Magyars, have come to occupy the country in the Christian era with all their GUS toms already formed since centuries. The physical conditions of Austria Hungary, with the Danube valley sur rounded by high and continuous mountain chains. were especially fa- vorable for the perpetuation of ancient heather customs.
 In central and southern Hungary. especially in the valley of the Theiss and at its confluence with the Danube, there is purely Magyar eastern cus- tom suggestive, perhaps, of their for mer homes in the central Asian steppes. As in nearly all popular GUS toms of the Magyars. the horse takes conspicuous part in it. Easter day the young men of the village pour wa ter over the girls and Easter Monday the girls get ready for their revenge" This revenge is, of course, in the na- ture of an acknowledgment of the at tention received, and carries with it

People of Jerusalem Celebrate Easter With Magnificence
 That Is Gorgeous.

TER USALEM is the true Easter city. J Not only is Easter celebrated there with gorgeous magnificance by the Christian churches-Latin, Greek, Armenian, Coptic-but the large and ever-growing Jewish population of Jerusalem keeps the passover with all the charm of it's cosmopolitanism, and even the Mohammedans have their Easter pilgrimage to the grave of Moses.
 The throng of Easter pilgrims from the whole Christian world is very remarkable sight. To the Westerner it is a revelation of oriental Christian ity in all it's picturesque devotion. Greeks from all over the Levant, Ar menians from Turkey, Persia and Cau. casus; Nestorians from the Mesopo- tamia and Persia; Syrians from Alep- DO, Damascus and Beirut; Abyssin- fans from northeast Africa; Copts from Egypt, and men from the ancient

Southwest Virginia, a council of his brigade commanders was held to de- eide whether or not they should give up. Several of the cavalry leaders strongly expressed the determination that they should put off surrender as long as the Confederacy had an armed force in the field, and declared that an effort should be made to join Gen eral Johnston. General Echols was among these. and for several days, with large part of his cavalry. he marched to the south. With each suc- ceeding day, however, they became more convinced of the fruitlessness of their efforts, and finally decided to follow the example of Lee.
 April g. 1865, was the date on which the surrender of Lee took place. Al. though terms had been virtually agreed upon between Grant and the Confederate commander as the result of the exchange of series of notes. the formal drafting of the terms be. tween the leaders of the opposing forces took place on this date in the home of Wilmer Mclean, one of the most pretentious in the little village Of Appomattox.

 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass, seem to prove this fact.

meaning which the swain is eagerly looking for.
 The girls post themselves along the long village street, armed with pails full of water, and through them drive the swains at top speed in teams of three horses abreast. The girls are sufficiently delft to give their beauX the full measure of their acknowledg- ment of the day before, and each gets his answer, or thinks he gets it. This Easter water is believed to have heal ing properties and doubtless has healed many a heart.
 Up in the mountains of Carinthia- Kaernthen-in the Alps of Austria, where Germans and Slavs dwell to- gether the girls engage in a pictur- esNe race the day before Easter. Lent is kept very vigorously. and after the long period of fasting everybody looks forward to the good things of Easter Sunday.
 The girls of the mountain villages. both German and Slav. the Saturday before Easter take enormous baskets of food to the village church to have it blessed by the priest. Stepping out of the church door. they start to race. with their huge baskets poised on their heads. The sight of these buxom girls, in their short frocks, white stockings and many-colored head dresses. racing one another down the village street. is most picturesque and graceful, despite the heavy bur dens they carry. They are very ear nest about this race. because each firmly believes that If she wins she will be married h very short time.

The Grotto of the Nativity in the crypt of the church of the Nativity at Bethlehem. The star beneath the altar marks the supposed place of the Nativity.

All day Easter Sunday streams of pill grims visit the tomb itself Only three can enter 1t at a time, for it Is six feet square, and half its space is taken up by the sarcophagus-a white marble shelf, cracked across, supported on q mar ble slab, about three feet high. Lamps of silver and gold hang above 1t and shed u dim light upon the figure of a Greek priest on silent guard This is the Holy of Holies-the holiest spot in the world. Princes and paupers, kneeling in the place where they believe Jesus lay for three days, stretch quivering fingers to touch the marble shelf and sob as if their hearts would break. It Is here that Easter makes the whole world kin. churches of southern India-all these races mingle with Latins from west ern Europe, with Slavs from the East and North, with Germans, English, Americans, Scandinavians.
 And this, mind you, against a pecu liar background of Jewish life-at one time largely Sephardic-that is, of Jews driven centuries ago from Spain and Portugal, but in late years to a fast growing extent from Ashkenazi; Jews who have returned, thanks to the efforts of a powerful propaganda: from Poland Russia, the Balkans, Austria-Hungary Germany, Holland and England.
 In the midst of all, and presenting an Individuality perhaps more distinct than all the others, you see the Mo hammedan master of the land-the Arab in his solemn garb and majestic soldier naughty in the exercise of his duty to keep the Christian pilgrims in check and to preserve order
 Elaborate processions and ceremo- nials make holy week in Jerusalem a gorgeous event, where the intimate note of the resurrection is not conspic- uous. Especially does it bring out the division of Christendom so strikingly Greeks, Armenians and Copts share the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
 Though the census of 1896 gives the "muteessarifiik" of Jerusalem 25,00O Latins and only 16,000 Greeks, the visitor is apt to be impressed with the religious predominance of the latter. Particularly at Easter the marvellous services of the Greek orthodox church convey the priority of these ceremo- nies; none, perhaps, is more impress sive than that of the washing of feet, on the Thursday before Easter
 On that day a platform is erected in the court of the church, which is occu- pied by the Greek patriarch of Jerusa- lem and twelve high church digni- taries. Court stairs. niches and every corner is crowded by the faithful to witness the enactment of the scene when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. The parts of Jesus, John. Peter and Judas arc each given to an ecclesiastic, and are read with fine simplicity, though the story is told with a certain freedom from Gospel text.
 At the end the patriarch washes the feet of the twelve clerics and, repeat ing Jesus words, Let us go, for he that will betray me is nigh" gives the signal to arise. and they all withdraw to the church. Then an olive branch. hanging over the chancel of the plat form, is pulled up to the roof of the church amid shouts of joy.
