FOLLOW THE ANCIENT RITUAL
Samaritans Of Today Observe the
Passover With All the Traditional
Ceremonies Ordered.

"The Samaritans stood close togeth-
er to prevent the Mahometan specta-
tors, who delight to torment them,
from snatching even a bit Of wool,
which would remain over and thus
cause them to break the command,
'Ye shall let nothing of 1t remain until
the morning" says writer in the
Christian Herald.
After cleansing the lambs they re-
moved front leg of each, and these
were set apart as the priests portion.
A long wooden pole was then threaded
through each Of the prepared lambs,
and was carried thus to the pit near
by, wherein a large fire, which had
been kindled early in the evening, had
burned down, leaving bed of red-hot
Goals at the bottom. The poles, pro.
tected by metal at the lower end, we're
stuck into this bed OF Goals, being long
enough to reach to the top of the pit.

The Russians pace is the shortest, be-

But your own pace, what of it? It
depends upon your height. Take your

But it seems that the rag bag

1t seems that we have been able
to raise all the rags we need in this
country. So we have had to pay for
imported brands-in 1913 to the
amount Of $3,4l3, 5000, but last year,
of course owing to the war;, we
could only get Sl,572,0 900 worth.
In consequence of scarcity the
price Of rags has risen from 40 to
100 per cent.
