On board of Portuguese ships ho Is

The city of Lisbon, however, makes
tho really Impressive Good Friday
celebration. In front of nearly every
house n grotesque fltrure supposed to
represent tho arch-betrayer Is set on
a sort of funeral pyro or else sus
pended high In nlr by a rope across
the street. In the latter case It Is
filled with straw and gunpowder.
At stroke of noon the bell of tho
great cathedral tolls. Fire Is set to
nil the pyres and tho dangling cm
gles nro exploded.
All over South America Judas Is
hanged on Good Friday. In Mexico
street venders peddle pasteboard fig
ures clad In gaudy paper costumes.
The more hideous they arc the better
they sell. On every block there Is at
least one llfe-slzo dummy hnnglng
fr a lino across the street. At the
first stroke of 12 nil of them are
thrown Into bonfires. Tho excitement
Is tremendous.
In front of the Jockey club In Mex
ico City Judas assumes the character
of n superbly dressed cabullero on
horseback. Weed nnd rider are of
pasteboard, but the accoutrements ore
real. The saddle bos silver trappings,
(lie bridle Is ornamented with silver,
stripes of silver dollars run down the
pantaloons, the handsome riding boots
have silver spurs mid on the head Is a
sombrero with u band of sliver bul
lion. This very gorgeous Judas nnd his
horse are stuffed with money. In fact.
they have been fed on silver col .s
until they are fat with the diet.
At noon out comes n servant from
the club with a lighted taper on tho
end of a Ioiik pole. Tumultuous cheers
from the great crowd assembled. Tho
hell of the cathedral sounds the hour
nnd a fuse Is Ignited, exploding a
charge of gunpowder cmilnlned In tho
enigy. A wild struggle for the coins
nnd accoiitremests winds up the plc

"High-Powered" Food.
What would you think of n slice of
bread that has tho same food value
ns a beefsteak sandwich? It Isn't a
dream nor an exaggeration. It Is a
fact supported by s'clallsts of Iho
United States department of agricul
ture. It Is based on chemical uniily-
ses of and experiments with soy-bean
Hour, n "new" product thnt Is expect
ed to "pinch hit" for wheat, ond not
only do that, but to work In meat's
place ns well. The "high-powered
bread" that bus the scientific resem
blance to n beefsteak sandwich does
not even use nil of the "voltage" of the
soy-bean Hour. This bread bns been
made from n mixture of ltd per cent
Hoy-bean Hour and 71) per cent wheat
(lour. It Is extremely high In the
protein element and Is really a substi
tute for protein foods such as meat nnd
cheese.
The first general attempt to Intro
duce Christianity Into China dates
from Anrll 21. 1845. when the Chinese
government, following tho disastrous
war with Great Britain, granted per
mission to foreigners to teach the
Christian religion. Missionaries from
many countries began Immediately 10
flock to China, but In most places the
"white devils" wero received with hos
tility. The Emperor Toou-Kwang,
who In the latter part of his reign
favored the Introduction of European
arts nnd religion, died In 18.10. and
his son. Hlcng-Fung, adopted 0 reac
tionary policy.
One of the odd results of tho Intro
duction of Christianity In Cblnn wns

er who culled himself Tlen-teh, and
who announced himself ns tho restor
er of tho worship of tho truo god,
Shang-tl, and derived many of his (log-
mas from tho Bible. He called him
self tho brother of Jesus, tho second
son of God nnd tho monnrch of nil be-
nenth the skies, end demanded uni
versal submission. His Insurgent fol
lowers called themselves Taeplngs, or
"Prince of peace," but tho title was
utterly belied by their ntroclous deeds.
