WATCH FLIGHT OF
DOVE AT EASTER
Florentines Have an Odd Custom
Which Is Said to Commerce
rate the Deeds of a Knight in
the Days Of the Crusades.

A CURIOUS custom prevails in
~ Florence at Easter in the flight
n of the Dove. Its origin Is OBJ
scure, but the Rev. S. Barring
Gould, who has well described 1t In
his "In Troubadour Land" says that
1t is alleged by some to commemorate
the deeds of Florentine knight, who,
in the crusade led by Godfrey de
Bouillon, was the first to climb the
walls Of Jerusalem and set upon them
the banner of the Cross. This knight
then sent back the news of the re-
covery Of the Holy Sepulcher, to Flor
ence by carrier pigeon, and so 1t was
the first city in Europe to hear the
good tidings.
The CARO-, huge black structure
on wheels, is garlanded with flowers,
and covered with fireworks. 1t is
drawn into the Cathedral square by
white oxen, also decked out with flow
ers. Then the following ceremony
takes place. A rope Is extended from
the CARO- to pole which Is set up In
the choir of the Duomo, before the
high altar, right up the whole length
Of the nave. Upon the rope, close to
the pole, Is perched white plaster
dove. At the stroke of twelve. while
the Easter eve Mass is in progress, "a
match is applied to fusee, and in
stantly the white dove flies along the
rope, pouring forth tail of fire, down
the nave, out at the west gate, over
the heads Of the crowd, reaches the
CARO-, ignites fusee there, turns, and,
still propelled by its fiery tail, whizzes
along the cord again till 1t has reach
ed It's perch on the pole In the choir,
when the fire goes out and 1t remains
stationary. But In the meantime the
match ignited by the dove has COM
municnted with the squibs and crack
ers attached to the CAIRO, and the
whole mass Of painted wood and flow
ers Is enveloped in fire and smoke,
from which issue sheets Of fame and
loud detonations. Meanwhile Mass Is
being sung composedly within the
choir as though nothing were happen
ing without. The fireworks continue
to explode for about a quarter of an
hour, and then the great garlanded
oxen, white, with huge horns, are re-
yoked to the CAIRO, and 1t is drawn
away"
The flight of the dove is watched
with keen attention and interest by
the peasants, for from it's style Of
flight they augur variety of future
happenings. Thus, if the bird sails
along easily without Jerks they say
the summer will be fine; while if it
goes sluggishly, and makes frequent
halts, they presage storms, late frosts,
hail, and, as a consequence, bad crops.

EASTER FESTIVALS
IN SPANISH CITIES
Fontarabia Always Gay With
PROFESSIONS and Festivities
Gorgeous Celebrations in Sc
vile the Order for Centuries.

HPAIN, lying at peace In the heart
of war. need not be disturbed In
the celebrating Of holy week. and
so will continue to be first among
the nations honoring Christ in realistic
ceremonial. The little town of Fon-
tarabia, q stones throw from French
soil, is almost as old as the present
government Of Spain. Religion and
war have been the greatest forces in
its ancient streets, and fortress with
many battles to its credit yet guards
the quiet people whose greatest time
of the year is that which is close upon
Easter Sunday.
Professions are the chief feature,
and the images of Christ and the
saints, which figure in these process
sions, are the treasures of the small
city. The gay city Of Seville has the
most gorgeous celebration of Easter
perhaps In the world, in the matter OF
symbolic ceremonies in the streets,
and as the most beloved city of the
Spaniards its practices have had
wonderful influence over the little
towns, so many of which nestle against
the mountains or sun themselves along
the sea.
Rome, Petrograd and Venice have
caught the ear of the world with the
music of their services during the
week of the Passion, but In the COM
bined gravity and colorful symbolism
;oh kha 81 hn
Spanish peninsula go about observing
Easter there is no superseding. The
images of ST. Anne, the mother Of the
Virgin; Of Mary Magdnlene and the
Savior are the most popular and the
most revered, and those which are
most adored in the procession. The
figure Of the Christ in Fontarabia is
very old.
Poland and her Easter feasts are
heralded widely. blessing the food"
at Easter time is fully as ancient
custom and is more familiar. 1t is
now spoken of as purely Slavic
feature. In the houses Of the prosper
Gus, before the war, the tables fairly
groaned with viands for the Easter
dinner that followed close upon many
days Of very abstemious fasting. Be
fore the meal was prepared in any
household, great or small, the food was
brought in baskets to the churches,
where priests sprinkled it with holy
water and gave it their blessing. A
lamb cooked whole formed the center
piece Of the table, as much as a goose
in Germany or turkey in the United
States at Christmas dinner.

Gain Throunh Sufferinn.

Do not think to triumph without
merging your life in the life Of the
race. Come ont from your monastic
cell; come away from your place Of
exclusiveness; come down from your
hill Of privilege and of pride. Live
the life of the world.
And do not think to live the life Of
the world without discipline Of pain.
No suffering, no reigning; no tears, no
crown. The triumph of the resurrec-
ton had notsbeen except for the ira
vail of Calvary. Power is built on
pain. "He who loseth his life shall
find it."

THE SOLDIER.
He needs no tinsel on his coat,
No medal, star or braid.
No outward sign of rank or worth
To keep him unafraid.
The soldier carries in his breast
A living accoiade,
The dear medallion OF her face,
The noblest medal made
Her faith, her hope, her tenderness,
Her human fear and pain
Are like glory on his soul
To comfort and sustain.
In honor and in pride he goes
To face his duty grim,
Transplanted to himself he feels
The heart that beats for him

Common Easter Beliefs.

1t Is considered by many unlucky to
omit wearing new clothes on Easter
day. To see lamb out of the window
on Easter morning is a good omen, es-
pecially If its head be turned in the
direction Of the house. To meet lamb
Is lucky, as, according to the popular
notion, the devil can take any other
form than that Of lamb or a dove.

Day of Victory.

Easter Is not the celebration Of
serene and untroubled righteousness.
1t Is no festival Of life always secure
in the enjoyment Of mastery over ma
lign forces. Easter is the day which
commentaries supreme victory Of
good over evil temporarily triumphant
and newly overthrown. 1t is sacred to
resurrection, and resurrection implies
at least the brief ascendency of death.

The hope of immortality was not
born on the first Easter. 1t has been
a universal aspiration. Views of the
future state have varied vastly, from
the fantastic to the sublime, but all
men In all ages, saints and sinners,
sages and slmpletons, have. had some

CANDY MAKERS USE ONLY

the average man or woman how much

and YOU will find that it is the general
opinion that all the way from 70 per

production goes into candy making.
This has led many people TO believe

not be the case
Far from using 25 TO SO perc ent.
the candy industry in normal times
before the war, used something less
than s per cent of the sugar In this
country. At present it is curtailed 10
/ per cent. Even II the entire amount
were cut of from candy making the
sugar situation would not be relieved.
The candy makers contend that all
should share alike In the saving OF
sugar. The manufacturers have al
ready given until It hurts. There is
no more patriotic body Of men than
! IN the candy business and they have
gladly given up their supplies. But
they now feel that the business IN
terests of the country call for DEN
mite knowledge OF the facts.
People must realize that the candy
industry alone cannot save enough
sugar to solve the problem. Many
people, without knowing the facts
have felt that the making OF candy
could be curtailed and the sugar prob
lem solved.
with these facts in mind, fail
public should be willing TO help share
in the conservation of sugar to th'
end that the candy industry, built vi
through many years, may survive ant

CALIFORNIA NAN
GAINS Is POUNDS
Smith Feels Like q New Mar
Since Taking Tanlac-
Suffered Thirty
Years.

One Of the strongest and most con-
vincing evidences OF the popularity Of
Tanlac throughout America Ia the
large number OF letters that are being
received daily from we'll known men
and women. telling OF the remarkable
results they have derived from ita use.
Among the many received In the
past few day is one from John
Smith. s13 Eighth Street, Richmond,
California, which lie especially inter
esting. Mr.. Smith states that he had
suffered for twenty years, with his
stomach. liver and kidneys, and had
reached the point where he wished
each breath would be the last. He
also says that when he began taking
TanlAc he weighed only one hundred
and forty-eight pounds, but that he
now weighs ono hundred aud sixty
slx--mAking gain Of eighteen
pounds-and that he feels like new
man. Following IL his letter in full;
ITO whom IL may concern: II, the
undersigned. can truthfully say that
the wonderful medicine known as
Tanlac has done more for me In thir-
~ days time than any other medicine
have ever taken before In all my
life. I have been q sufferer from
stomach, liver and kidney troubles
for twenty years. have taken six
bottles OF Tanlac, and today l feel
like q new man.
Before l started using Tanlac Il
didn't make any difference what !
would eat or drink. Il distressed me
so much that l wished the next
breath would be my last. Also when
started taking this wonderful med
lcine, only weighed one hundred
and forty-eight pounds. Today l
weigh one hundred and slxty-etght
pounds-have gained eighteen lbs,
already-and am still gaining. Also
before taking Tanlac couldn't sleep
either night or day. but now l aver
age about nine hours steady sleep
and I have an appetite like horse. ]
am now fifty years of age and ! cant
praise Tanlac too muchfor what Il
has done for me.
