GATHER FOR JUDGMENT DAY
Moravians Visit Burial Ground Easter
Sunday to Welcome the Dead,
Should They Arise.

The Moravian churches of this cOun-
try have their Passion week, with
somewhat peculiar rites. They set
tied in Pennsylvania and North Caro-
lima. At Bethlehem and other places
in Pennsylvania they are the FREEDOM
mating religious sect. At Salem,
n. c., they established a very inter
esting and unique colony in 1853.
There they have a strong church and
one of the finest colleges in the cOun-
try. Religious service is daily &C.
currenee in the church during Pas
sion week. The sacrament is admin
-istered and many Of the younger set
are confirmed. On Saturday, the
closing day, they have the love feast
and break bread together as one happy
family. The juvenile pleasures are
not overlooked. Late in the after
noon Of Saturday the children are to
he seen busilye engaged about the
hedges and fences constructing rabbit
nests IN which they expect rabbits to
lay eggs during the night, and they
are, never disappointed; they always
find the nests beautifully supplied with
various colored eggs on Easter morn
ing. 3 3ilEw
The church congregation is up be
fore the dawn of Easter day. They
assemble at the church and proceed to
the burying ground to welcome the
dead should they rise. They are led
by brass band and church choir.
The concourse passes up the broad
gr,aveled walk, which runs between
rows Of ancient cedars. to the center
of the cemetery. which is odd. quaint
and beautiful There they pause and
sing hymns, in which all the people
join. The singing stops as the sun
light comes over the rugged eastern
hills. All Is silent and solemn while
the clergyman reads out the names
of those who have been placed TO rest
in the burying ground since the pre-
.vious Faster.

"Oh. dear" cried Jack s<>he stopped
In the snow minute. for there was
snow on the ground that had been
there a long time, hut the thing that
made him cry out was heavy gust OF
wind that blew his long ears about and
lifted a handful OF dry snew which
struck Jack right in his eyes.
The moon was nowhere to be seen
now and as Jack Rabbit hoped along
he saw that snow was coming down
very fast. 1t was no use turning back
now. so he kept right ON hopping to-
ward the barn.
He was pretty cold and tired when
he got 10 the convenient hole in the
side OF the barn. and when be was In
where Ii was nice and warm once

running over to the turnlps which he
saw on the floor I'm one corfer of the
barn.

thought Jack. "She was sensible

Mr.. Fox than with the other poultry"
Jacks ears went up. straight for he
heard a sound outside. although 1t
was mint whats tiiat?" he thought,
sitting very still anG his whiskers
trembling as he listened.
81 guess I better run right home"
said Jack Rabbit, hurrying toward the
convenient hole through which he had
entered, but when he reached 1t he
changed his mind Bickly, for Mr..
Fox's nose was poked through and
Jack Rabbit turned to run.
Then he remembered his hind feet,
and with a mighty hard kick Jack
struck Mr. Fox, right in the face,
which made him see stars and sent
him running home sure some terrible
creature was hidden In Mr.. Mans
barn.
But Mrs. Hen was wide awake, for
she was aware Mr.. Fox was about be-
fore Jack had seen him, and now she
was ciucltlng her thanks at Jack as
he sat trembling behind barrel
Jack Rabbit was hero and did not
know 1t, for Mrs. Hen told him he
had saved her, and her children also
from that had afr. Fox.
BY and by when 1t was all quiet
again in the barn Jack crept to the
turnips and ate MS fill and then he
ran off home againi for It had stopped

LEW persons need to be told that
the initials r. s, V.P. stand for the

apparently there are good many
persons who do need TO be told that
when those initials are ON an invita-
ton IL Is imperative that either regrets
or acceptances be sent within a day
or two of the receipt of the invitation.
The fact that there are such people
rs quite obvious to any one who has
sent out formal invitations with this
formal request for an answer, for
there are always plenty of invited
guests who come without signifying
their intention TO do so and even more
who remain away without sending
their regrets. Some persons really

1t is really essential that the replies

Whether or not the letters are added

are to be served. Thss, a wedding
reception or breakfast calls for re-

simmer invitation. However, an invi-
tation to a tea where the refreshments
do not have to be specially prepared
for each guest, does not call for
reply. Good form in that case de-
manls either your presence or a card
sent so that it will reach the hostess
on the day of the reception or tea.

BEVERAGES

Men really know not what good waters
TT HAS been said that the real test
a of good table manners depends on
ones ability to manage knife and

a test might be shown in ones mode

ordinary everyday beverages. The
really fine points in manners are re-

OF dispensing tea from Russian sam

drink the everyday brew from an

1t seems unnecessary to say that
we should drink noiselessly. How
ever. most people don't. Keep tab on
yourself sometime and see whether
YOU yourself do not have to exert
quite an effort in order to make your
drinking absolutely noiseless. In
drinking tea. coffee, or other bever-
ages served in'cup and saucer. you
should use the spoon only in order to
mix the sugar and then to take q few
,spoonfuls by way of testing the tenn
perature. To sip the entire cupfnl
in spoonfpls is decidedly bad form.
If YOU have been advised to "sip" tea
or water in this way for your health,
then out of kindness to your assocI-
ates take this in your own',room as
you would any other sort of remedy.
Needless TO say we never leave the
spoon in our cups. After the sugar
is added II should be mixed by 'one

HARRIET. by all right Of signih.

since Il means 'home rule.n But in
reality, IL has its origin In old Morse
mythology where there was n porter
of Valhall called Heimtiuli, who

THE giants. HIS nanie Is explained by
translating the heinz dis home. 1t was
through this Heimdal that all the

The feminine of the name was in
vented I'm the Fifteenth century. 1t is

since Henriet Stuart appears in the
House of Stuart d'Anbigne In 1856,
and there were'a number Of Henriettes

Catherine de Medici. Englaud re-
ceived the name from the daughter
of Henry ", Henriette Marie, whom
1.-THE ,prayerbook calls Queen Mary,
though her godchildren were all called
Henrietta. The queens name was
given the French pronun citation, which
is Hawyot, and that became a separate
proper name Harriet is also pro-
nounced in that manner by those who
are excessively given TO .propriety.>
In England Henrietta is as great a

r.. z. Oglesby delivered, the lecturer
remarked that "sham" was not a nice
word: but the outer dome of st. Pauls
cathedral was an adorable sham. Wren
said: 81 am going to give You a beau
tiful dome outside. and an appropriate
dome inside, and what they are nsde
Of. or how they support my stone IAN
tern and cross, weighing 700 tons, Is
my business and nobody else s."
Neither of the domes in any way slp-
ported the lantern. The upper por-
tons OF the interior of st. Peters at
Rome were, he added, shams-cleverly
decorated to look like marble. Most OF
the great Palladio's best works at
Vicenza and other places was sham
merely stuceo laid on briclwOrk, but
none the less beautiful in form; and
our own architect Nash introduced
stucco into London, as. in Regent
street and elsewhere.-London Times.
