1t seems fitting that at Easter time

RUBENS.
One of the worlds most noted
paintings showing Christ on the Cross
Is by Peter Paul Rubens. 1t has but
the one figure-the dying Christ,
hanging on the cross. The back
ground Is dark, the sky being almost
black, which brings out more fully the
real beauty and richness Of the work.
The head of Christ has fallen against
the right arm and a peaceful ex-
preston is on the face, showing that
the agony has passed. The body
has sagged and the muscles Of the
arms are prominent. Blood trickles
from the nail holes In the hands end
feet, while that from the wound in the
side has dripped on the loin cloth,
which is draped In graceful fashion.

Rubens painted many pictures &

most striking and beautiful. He was
the chief master Of the Flemish school
Of painting, and was one of the most

Another great canvas showing

Albrecht Durer, and like the one Of

OLD BELIEFS ABOUT EASTER
Dssp- Rooted Ideas That Have Eeen
Current From the Earliest Days
of the Cotsbration.

There is an Old weather supersti-
ton to the effect thar IL the sun shines
On Easter it will shine on WhitsUI-
day
If you battle with cold water on
Easter day, you will keep well all The
year.
There is another old superstition
about eggs, and that is to rub over
the face an egg that has been cOIored
for Easter to have II nice complexion.
To cry on Easter Is a sign you
will cry the following Sunday, too.
1t is bad luck to keep Easter eggs.
They should be destroyed.
II a rabbit runs eros your path
on Easter Sunday it is a good luck
sign.
For the lovelorn, there Is a warning
that n should not get engaged on
Easter Sunday, else the engagement
will be broken.
"Give a man a red egg at Easter
to secure his love-" is an old gypsy
amendment.

the Magdalen, Christ, wearing the
crown OF thorns, hangs on the cross,
His head surrounded by a curious
~fan-shaped golden halo with three
red stripes. The face shows sadness
and is well drawn. The picture Is
rich IN color, the background being
a blue sky of the most vivid shade.
The blood on the hands, side and feet
which trickleS down in three straight
streams is a brilliant red, forming
a strong contrast to the sky.
MURlLLO.
Ecce Homo (Behold the Mani, by
Murillo, Is regarded by many as the
most beautiful painting Of Christ In
existence. This artist is noted for
the sweetness of his faces, always
with u touch of sadness, and In this
he has excelled himself, for the whole
makeup of the picture is sublime.

County Unit Law Changes.

Three changes i'm the county unit
road law are proposed in senate bill
No. 112, introduced in the senate by
Senator Howard A. Cam of Frank
fort. The changes are not expected
to meet the approval of road contrac-
tors, but are intended TO benefit tax
payers, Senator Cam said. Under the
law the entire county pays for road
built under the county unit plan. Sen
atOr Cams bill provides that the en-
tire county shall pay only 90 per cent,
the township in which the road is sit
uated, % per cent, and abutting land
owners for q mile on either side of
the road the remaining % per cent.
Fifty persons may petition for a coun-
ty unit road under the present law.
The bill proposes to make 200 the min
imum number of petitioners, Of whom
half must live in the township in
which the road to be improved is sit
uated and 10 per cent of whom must
live in other townships in. the county.
The third change would require the
road Inspector and engineer TO give
bond TO, protect the county against
the result OF improper engineering or
inspection.

More Widows Than widowers.

According TO the United States cen
sus of 1920, there are i'm this country
at this time $4,000 widows and only
1,471 800 widowers. This indicates
that the chances are, on the average,
two to one that a man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition of affairs is that the
wife is generally several years young
er than the husband, and then too.
at the ages above fifty the mortality
rate for men is much higher than for
