ODD RIOTER, OSSANC&I
It is half dramatic, but, taken all
together It is wholly Interesting to
move with a caravan of the Christian
world toward the earthly city of Da
vid tor the keeping of the solemn
feast of Easter. For when the light
of spring is calling out the destinies of
song in ripple of leaf, and throat of
bird, and In the longings of the hu
man heart, Easter glows across a
world proclaiming that some Jeru
salem, "abode of peace," arises for
ever through the mists of distance on
the horizon of human aspiration.
Jaffa is the port of Palestine where
the pilgrims land, whose goal is the
Cbnrch of the Holy Sepulchre, and
the facade of the "Holy Fire." Jaffa,
oldest among old cities of the world,
to whose shores the Greek sent Its
Perseus, whose harbor has seen the
Pharaohs of Egypt, the brave Macca
bee, the shadow that shook from the
Sat of Saladln, the curve of Coeur de
' Lion's lips, the glint on Baldwin's
crown, and the great - light In the
eyes of Saint Louis, king, as he bore,
barefooted through the town, the
crown of thorns to his shin this old.
Wt' Jaffa, fez-lhabed totfn Be! on a
bill, looks desolate and presents
nothing Interesting. But the valley
Is bright with pomegranates and olive
groves. The sky Is baptized with
beauty, and those long bands of burn
ing fire that thread the Mediterranean
off there, seem like dawn streaks of
the holy fire which these souls have
come to seek this kaleidoscopic
crowd Jostling its way on, and elbow
ing its way out, and surging still for
ward through Jaffa's long, narrow
street; Armenian', Syrian, Greek, Cop
tic, Latin, Russian, Abyssinian pil
grims who are bound to Jerusalem In
these signal days of the Christian
year.
Their garments nutter like flame
between little Jaffa's dark rugged
walls; erlmsons and dark reds of
Russian garments; the curious, gam
boge colored caftans worn by the Ar
menian peasants; be Syrian yellows,
the dull blues of the Abyssinlan's
cloak; the poor, shredbare brown of
the Coptic's raiment, and the broad
cloth of the rich Israelite who also Is
in the throng pressing forward to
keep bis Passover In Jerusalem.
Through the rich shadows of
thought your pilgrim path leads on
through spaces of sun In the valley
gardens around this little Jaffa. Tou
pass by hundreds of Persian water
wheels, cracking like the shading of
the Nile valley. It Is the month of
April, and the Jaffa gardens are en
chanting. The perfume of orange,
lemon, apricot Is an Araby.of attar.
Seven miles of blossom and beyond
stretch the plains of Laron, men
tioned In the Bible, extending along
the sea from Gaza to Mount Carmel
on the north. It is a vast and Im
pressive outlook. Across the undu
lations of plain the crystal shimmer
of the mirage flits. Afar, a squad of
Arab horsemen, outlines itself on the
burning haze. Oa the northeast rise
the mountains around Samaria. At
Rama, the ancient Arlmathea, we
pass an old convent.
Farther on, beyond the sheen of
(he cascade that forms through the
valley of Jeremiah, Is the little town
of Naplous, the Neo polls of Herod.
From this point vegetation disappears
completely. - Yo leave behind the
palm gardens and the tawny orange
trees, the white houses and gypsy
sheds. A two hours' ride through a
mountainous, desolate looking coun
try brings the pilgrim to an open spot
where a long line of wall surmounted
by scattered towers comes suddenly
Into view. A shout shivers down the
long file of pilgrims, followed by a
profound silence:
JERUSALEM!
The prelude to the first' sight of
the Holy City la the cry of twenty
sues for the manifest God. The
Mosque of Omar tops the sacred hill,
but the face of God s Son crowns Je
rusalem forever. Your own heart
beats answer back to the heart beats
of that Man who walked the streets
off there. Throngh those highways
thread the surging longings of earth,
daBhlng themselves now against
Buddha, now against Mahomet, now
'gainst the bleak wall of unbelief,
now against the varied foam on the
seas of the soul that forever must lift
white bands of prayer. And as you
stand and look toward those narrow
feitthways tti Jerusalem beyond the
nnir mlamn Una nf TV' 1 1 1 vnu hpni
again a great, broad cry:
WORLD."
The atmosphere that envelops
Athens is Poetry, the mist that arrays
old Rome Is Power. But the cloud
that rests upon Jerusalem Is Venera
tion. There seems no rest, however, for
the tossing, eager throng that Is now
passing on through the gate of Jaffa
toward the last earthly resting place
of Christ. But one does not pause to
sum up the tangle of argument,
controversy, pros and cons which
admits the Orient morning. You are
watching, breathlessly, in the gallery
on the north side. Below you Is the
Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre, divid
ed Into two parts: the Sepulchre and
the "Stone of Angels." It Is a forest
of white tapers. On Its north side is
the round aperture from which the
Holy Fire is to stream for the grent
Greek Church. On the south side,
the fire outlet for the Armenians, who
will light the Syrian, Coptic and Abys
sinian tapers. This Chapel of the
Sepulchre seems to soar, verily, above
the packed-ln mass of pilgrims
around It. Behind this long line
gleams the Turkish soldiery to keep
order. Directly behind their scarlet
fez another circle, wedged-ln of pil
grims. For fully two hours there Is a very
awful silence. You hear only the sigh
of expectation from the great, gaunt
throng around the sacred chapel.
Suddenly, the circles reel and sway.
A tangled group within the Inner
zone starts to run In a frenzy of long
sustained suspense. The delirium Is
communicated. Twenty, thirty, fifty,
one hundred men are tossing one an
other up; they are leaping up to each
other's shoulders. The err. "This Is
the Tomb of Jesus Christ!" Is taken
up, voice after voice, by the whole
throng, till the swaying, reeling belts
of beings begin a torrent, a storm, a
whirl around the whole great rotun
da. It Is a maelstrom of men. It
swirls a huge vortex around the
Chapel of the Sepulchre. That chapel
Is In awful silence still; but present
ly to be the great central syllable of
all. Yonder, from out the Greek
Church, streams an embroidered pro
cession. Its solemn chant and ca
dences that have echoed from the
Cayster to the Tiber, that have thun
dered from the throne of Constantino
to the Battle of Navarino, mingle
with the yelling of the voices of the
pilgrtm-mob. This mob drives the
Turkish soldiers from the church.
Its on-seething ruBh bears the Greek
Patriarch Damlanos from within the
procession toward that still silent
Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre. And
Its door Is shut.
The rotunda Is now an uproar like
the oceanic phases and phrases pt
Homer. Hundreds of bare arms are
stretched out toward that silent
Chapel of the Sepulchre off there.
Still It speaks not. Beside the aper
ture a Greek priest stands watting.
Suddenly a bright flame flashes
across the tiny window. The sus
tained excitement of the next few
moments will never be forgotten as
long as life lasts. The fire Is caught
by the pale-faced priest. And slowly,
grandly, gradually then quickening
as the burning of sunrise on the sea,
the sacred fire leaps from wave to
Deception in Draft Horn's.
Draft horses are getting so high In
price that lots of the big three-year-olds
are finding their way to the
cities as four-year-olds, after having
a few of their colt teeth knocked out.

i two years and six months old is on
I a city dray. He Is a big fellow, It Is
true, but not old enough to stand the
service. Epltomlst.
Mutton Breeds Pay.
Farmers who keep mutton breeds
of sheep do not complain that sheep
do not pay. It Is the farmer who
makes a specialty of wool, and who
sends to market sheep no larger than
lambs, who does not find profit In
sheep. Young lambs alone give good
profits, and often bring more in the
market than matured sheep and Its
woo, but such lambs are of the
quick-maturing and excellent mutton
breeds. Epitoraist.
.JESUS APPEARS TO MARY MAGDALENE.
Grading Crenm.
Some of the centralizing creamery
plants are now grading cream that
they receive from the farmers, and
paying for it according to quality,
and the results have been very satis
factory. Many who were shippers of
poor cream are now furnishing cream
of good quality; others have dropped
out. This enables the manufacturers
to turn out a better class of butter
and make It possible for them to Day
fthe farmers a better price. This Is
a move In the right direction. Those
who do not grade their cream, but
pay the same price for all grades, will
quite naturally catch the shippers of
poor cream. The result is that those
who do not grade are getting all the
trouble, while those who grade It
are reaping the profits.
The best price Is paid for the
cream that arrives sweet and with no
bad flavor. The second grade is sour
cream that aside from this fault has
the characteristics ot first class
Urream. The third grade is eour
cream with off flavors, ropey, In un
clean cans, or bearing evidence of
neglect.
A manufacturing concern cannot
long stand .that ignores quality; and
the manufacture of butter is no ex
ception. Weekly Witness.

Intensive Live Stock Farming.
Writing of his observations of
Japan farming. Professor King, of
Wisconsin, says:
"According to official statistics
published in 1908, Japan has In Its
4 main islands, exclusive of Formosa
and Karafuto, a population ot 48,
542,736, and the area ot 1U culti
vated fields is 21,321 square miles.
This Is 2277 people to the square
mile, and besides these there are also
maintained 2,600,000 cattle and
horses, nearly all of which are labor
ing animals, giving a population of
142 people and seven horses and cat
tle to each forty acres of cultivated
field, a condition sufficiently different
from our most fully occupied forty
acre farm to make the business men
among us stop and do some thlnknig.
The old farmer who permitted me to
hold his plow told my Interpreter
that there were twelve in his family,
and that ho owned and was cultivat
ing fifteen mow of land, which is two
and one-halt acres, and that besides
his team a cow and a small donkey
be usually fed two pigs. This is
at the rate of 192 people, sixteen
cows, sixteen donkeys and thirty-two
pigs on a forty-acre farm, and a pop
ulation density of 3072 people, 250
cows, 2S6 donkeys, 612 swine per
square mile."

have raged around the most sacred
of all the "Holy Places" In Jerusalem,
the Church ot the Holy Sepulchre. It
Is the heart that dictates, not the
head that disputes, as you stand with
in Its enclosure and witness the grip
of the actual wide world upon great
Idea, and the grasp ot the soul upon
a great Ideal. For, since the third
century ot the Christian era. this
pavement has been worn by the feet
of passionate pilgrims, of stately
kings and ot calm browed philoso
phers. The twin domes of the Holy
Sepulchre rise in majestic grandeur
above the burled city of Jerusalem.
Between these domes, Turkish
sheikh was, centuries ago, established
by Saladln to mount guard over the
pilgrim throng within the building.
Underneath the domes Is the portal
of the Crusaders, a Christian facads
strangely at variance with the mental
Imagery around It. In front Is the
large open court, thronged with relic
mongers, who are offering their sa
cred wares that will soon be borne to
every part of the known world. Above
the courtyard bridges, walla, stairs
lead In and out to galleries and cham
bers within the church. The great
building Is all an odd Uttered mass,
but laced together with the sigh of all
the centuries for Light!
At one side Is the ultimate splendor
of the Greek Church that triumphs
In Us possession of Constantine'e ba
silica and ot the rock ot Calvary.
Yonder In that deep corner Is the
squalid poverty of the two Coptic and
Syrian chapels. Across these shrines,
across the jeweled geometry of the
Greek glitter, threading through the
great syllables that were first slivered
by the voice ot Homer, breaks the
melodious and dulcet chaining of the
Latin Church. Stand still and listen
to History In these varied voices that
are supplicating the Father ot AH.
It Is Easter even. Above the great
rotunda of the nave soars the dome of
the Holy Sepulchre. The sky Is seen
through the opening In the centre
which, like the Parthenon of Pericles,
wave ot humanity, kindling from
taper to taper, caught from hand to
band, till the whole Church ot the
Holy Sepulchre Is a sheet ot fire, an
acreage of flame. Every candle has
a voice, and the tremblings of the
traveling light are only the shudder
ing sobs and cries and tbanksgivings
of the loving, pathetic throng who be
lieve that God Himself has descended
Upon the holy tomb within the silent
darkness ot the sepulchre, and once
again across a world said, "Let there
be Light!"
Amidst the oriental confusion, the
clamor, the color, the riot ot devo
tion, the Greek patriarch Damlanos is
borne out of the church on the shoul
ders of the pilgrims. In a half-fainting
state. And It is at this moment that
to a horseman at the gates is given
the sacred fire to bear quickly to the
lamps around the Silver Star In the
midnight cave of the Nativity of Beth
lehem the lamps that are never ex
tinguished. It is at this moment that
still another horseman gallops rapid
ly away from the courtyard ot the
Holy . Sepulchre, bearing the lighted
taper northwards to Jaffa, to the
ships that are swinging at anchor In
Its harbor, waiting to bear the Holy
Fire to Russia, to the shrines afar on
her desolate Siberian Steppes, and to
the patriarchs Splridon of Antiocb,
Konstantlnos of Constantinople, and
to Sophronlus of Alexandria.
When evening comes, the pilgrims
throng back Into the church, and,
like children In father's home, lie
down to sleep within the great ro
tunda's calm. They are waiting for
the midnight service. You, too, re
turn to think and ponder and to
pray. For, strange and barbarlo, Uo
lated as Is this scene of to-day from
any experience in your life, It has
stirred the deep cqnsclousness within,
that upon this historic pavement Is
the grip ot the actual world upon a
great Idea; and the grasp of the soul
upon a great Ideal, who said, "I am
th Light ot , the World!" Luy

.Number of Cows For a Silo.
A question that is quite commonly
asked is: "Would it pay to build a
silo for eight or ten cows?" One man
writes that he has only twenty-three
acres of land and Is thinking ot put
ting up a sljo for five cows. Another
that he has forty acres of land, and
that he must do very good farming to
grow the necessary feed thereon for
ten cows, besides the feed that must
be grown for the span of horses which
be keeps to do the work.
Ten cows Is a rather small number
to go to the expense of putting up a
silo for five is even worse. It would
perhaps be advisable only where the
cows are extra good and very high
prices are received for the product,
unless the principal coarse feed is
corn fodder. Then one would find it
profitable to put up a silo for this
number. However, on this same
amount ot land It would be possible
to keep many more cows with the use
of the silo. Ten acres of good corn
fodder will furnish ffteen cows the
principal part of their roughage for
six months, or during the heavy feed
ing season, and there would be
enough left ove? to give them all the
silage they would need during the
balance of the year, which would
make It possible to keep them on a
very small pasture. If ten cows are
carried on a forty-acre farm without
a silo it is sate to presume that fifteen
can easily be carried on the same
amount of land by Its use. Practical

Floors of Poultry Houses.
The floor of a poultry bouse Is a
subject that Is very Interesting to all
poultry raisers and Is also one that
Is attracting more attention now than
formerly, says American Poultry Ad
vocator. Your variety of floor depends whol
ly upon the location of your building.
U. R. FUhel says: "Every bouse on
'Fishelton' Is provided with pine
flooring. Cement floors are a failure,
while earth -floors -are a nuisance.
Nothing can equal the pine floor cov
ered with atritw for the birds to work
in." Mr. Flsbel's idea or poultry
home floors Is based entirely on the
conditions surrounding bis houeoe.
He niUKt have some other lloor than
an earth one, as his location is a vers
damp one.
E. B. Thompson, of Amenla, N. Y..
uses nothing but earth floors, as he
is on an upland where board or ce
ment floors are unnecessary. So,
therefore, one man says to use ce-r
ment floors, another says to use'
boards as cement Is too cold, while
still another says that neither boards!
nor cement are of any use, but to use
nothing but earth for floors.
Personally, I have used all three
and find that a cement floor, covered
over with bIx or seven Inches ot fine.'
loam. Is an ideal floor. The rats!
bored through the wooden floor, the
water settled in miniature lakes on
the earth floor, but a cement floor is
a barrier to rats, and while It will
collect moisture, yet the earth and
litter offset all ot Ita faults.
Improper floors are the causes of
many diseases with fowls. In your
brooder house, if it has a cement
floor, be sure and have It covered
with sand and chaff, as the bard ce
ment is very injurious to the small
chicks' bills. A clear cement or
wooden floor is a nuisance, and, of
course, all practical poultrymen keep
their floors covered with chaff from
Bix to ten Inches deep.
The subject of proper floors Is one
demanding considerable attention, if
one wants his fowls to do well. So,
therefore, a large amount ot practi
cal common sense Is what is needed
and it your first floor isn't, in your
mind, the proper one, change and
soon you will find what is best in
your locality.

How to Manage the Horse,
I see by the different methods that
people use in familiarizing their
horses with interurban cars, automo
biles and other road "boogers," that
many of them very much underesti
mate the Intelligence ot the horso.
I saw a man about seventy years old
drive his horse up to a telephone pole
and jump out and get a hitch rein
and tie his horse as quick as If he In.
tended to head off a jack rabbit. I
wondered what he was going to do so
suddenly. Just then a car came by,
the horse Beared at it a little. He
unhitched It and went on. That was
a new way to me, but it was better
than getting on the side away from
the car and trying to hold him by the
rein between you and the car.
I saw a young man and his girl
driving a nice rig along by the track,
and as they met .the car the horse
shied and nearly threw the buggy
over and the young man drew the
whip and gave him a cut or two with
it, before the horse knew whether It
was the car hit him or the boy. Then
I thonght the next one he meets the
horse ought to throw him out. I was
standing on the road talking to a
man nearly eighty years old. He was
in a two-horse wagon with bis team.
He looked up and saw a car coming
and said to me: "Stand between my
team and the car. You needn't take
hold of them, but just stand between
them and the car." I did so, and
they scarcely noticed the car. He
had no doubt noticed that horses
were not nearly so afraid of things
that you yourself didn't seem to be
afraid of. Horses seem often to
scare and be afraid of things to scare
their drivers. By all means never
scare your horse by scaring at your
horse. If you have confidence In
your horse and can make him see you
are not afraid of the thing he is scar
ing at, few ot them will scare. A
horse is a good "bluffer." He will
often scare at things he Is not afraid
of. They can tell by the tone of your
voice whether you are scared or not,
and if you humor their whims they
will never learn. Teach them to not
be afraid by not hurting them when
tbey are, but by showing them there
is no danger. John G. Holt, in the
Indiana Farmer.
Farm Notes.
Wheat is a fine morning food.
Warm it in cold weather.
Boil some of the small potatoes,
mash them and feed them to the
hens. They make eggs fast.
Eggs of uniform size will sell more
readily than those that Include both
large and small ones.
Never feed moldly food of any kind
to a hen. That's the way a good deal
of sickness comes to the poultry yard.
When you are laying In your grain
for winter feed, don't forget to put In
a nice lot ot oats. You cannot find
any better teed, no matter where you
go.
Hens are like folks, about til want
ing the highest places. They will
quarrel over them sure; but put them
all on a level and you will fix them
all right.
Be neat In your hen housekeeping.
Have a big box handy to the houses
and keep the manure good and dry.
Wet hen manure is spoiled for fertil
izing purposes. Dry, there Is none
better on the farm.
Doctor ailing hens with the sharp
edge of an ax. You can affect a cure
that way a great deal quicker than
any other and It will pay better than
to dope tbem, especially when you
don't know what ails them.
It Is all right to fight rats and all
the rest ot the enemies that come to
the lover of poultry, but don't forget
that the greatest enemy' of all, and
the one that Is the hardest to lick out
Is neglect and carelessness. We are
apt to fight that last of all, when the
truth Is we ought to begin there first.

Lover," In the Farm and Fireside.

Not a Woman Drunk.
In the whole of her American tour,
said Mrs. Philip Snowden, In an ad
dress at the King's Weigh House
Church, Duke street, London, she
never saw a drunken woman or a
woman in a drinking saloon.

A very charming, pretty young
woman, who registered at the Hotel
Lenox, Boston, Mass., as the Countess
de Swtrzsky, St. Petersburg, created
a sensation in the cafe of' that ex
clusive house when, after dining, she
coolly lighted a cigarette and puffed
away with evident pleasure and un
concern. Lorgnettes were leveled In
her direction and a murmur ran over
the room which attracted the atten

the countess to throw away her smoke
and for his pains received 'a rapid
fire of Russian invectives. The
countess then addressed the diners
in general with mingled English and

Fire Heroines at 'Phones.
When fire destroyed the big Ohio
building, at Gary, Ind., Involving a
loss ot $50,000, two telephone opera
tors, Harriet Stevens and Charlotte
Chesnes, beeame heroines, by staying
at their posts near by until they were
driven away by suffocation and heat.
The two girls were alone in the
tluis to our view. We rejoice with
.these happy women. We are glad to
be allowed to walk with them in the
radiance of their Joy. About these
women there is no doubt that love
has come and Intends .to stay.
But In our circle of friends there
Is, perhaps, a lovable woman who
walks on in single blessedness. She
has executive ability in affairs of the
household, and we picture her as a
successful manager of a home, but
for some reason she never has her
own fireside. We think of this friend
as a true and loving wife, but she does
not marry. The divine spark never
seems to Btrlke her. We bemoan the
loss to our little world, and some ot
us protest against the barriers which
wall In her heart, but there she is,
smiling and immune.
Love does not come to her.' We
cannot explain why her heart Is not
touched; we wonder at the silence
when one or two adorers offer their
hearts, which are promptly refused.
With a potentiality for loving, she
lives through her years and then
passes out of our knowledge.
What is the reason? Can it bo that
there really exists somewhere in this
world a man who can awaken the soul
of the loveless one? Is it possible
that in her youth she formed ideals
beyond the power of man to approxi
mate, and the first murmur of the
grand passion Is drowned by the loud
demands ot these high Ideals? Or

Clothing Terra".
The English word "frock," denot
ing a kind of coat for men, was bor
rowed from us by the Germans In the
form of "track," and afterward be
came French "frac." But whereas
in English It means a frock coat, on
the continent It means a dress coat,
which is quite another thing. In the
"N. E. D.," where quotations are
given for all senses, there is no trace
of Its meaning a dress coat in Eng
lish. This application of the term
must therefore have been "made in
Germany," whence it penetrated to
all the continental languages. Includ
ing Lithuanian "frakas" and Finnish
"prakkl," the Finns having no "f."
The term is well known in the Sla
vonic dialects, always in the sense
"dress coat," and the Russians have
eveu coined the admirable word
"fratchnik" to describe an habitual
wearer of evening dress a "toff," iu
fact.
While they use "frac" for a dress
coat, the French designate a frock
coat by another English loan word,
"redingote," which was originally
"rldln? coat." In Spanish "frac" is
dress' coat, and frock coat is "levlata."

greatly affect the frock, and I have

"Frock" is not the only clothing
term misused by foreigners. "Smo

in French, German, Russian and
other tongues to signify a dinner

a "tuxedo," from the village of that
