WHEN THE LILIES BLOW,
It may be a fable sweetly told
Of the rocky tomb that could not hold
The Son of God in its sealed space
With a Roman guard to watch the place.
Perhaps poor Mary, wh.o wept all night,
Did not go forth with the morning light
And cry aloud in her quick dismay—
"Behold, they have taken my Lord away!”
It may be a figure of speech entire.
And the spirit did never the pen inspire—
But something uplifts the soul, I know,
In the days when the Easter lilies .blow.
Peopie of Jerusalem Celebrate
Easter With Magnificence
That !s Gorgeous.
JERUSALEM is the true Easter city.
J Not only is Easter celebrated
there with gorgeous magnificance by
the Christian churches—Latin, Greek,
Armenian, Coptic—but the large and
ever-growing Jewish population of
Jerusalem keeps the passover with all
the charm of its cosmopolitanism, and
even the Mohammedans have thfeir
Easter pilgrimage to the grave of
Moses.
The throng of Easter pilgrims from
the whole Christian world is a very
remarkable sijjht. To the Westerner
it is a revelation of oriental Christian-
ity in all its picturesque devotion.
Greeks from all over the Levant, Ar-
menians from Turkey, Persia and Cau-
casus; Nestorians from the Mesopo-
tamia and Persia; Syrians from Alep-
po, Damascus and Beirut; Abyssin-
ians from northeast Africa; Copts' from
Egj’pt, and men from the ancient

of Easter.
<<#*HRISTOS ANESTI”—“Christ is
I* risen—is the Easter cry in Con-
stantinople that you hear on all sides,
accompanied by the exchange of the
traditional kiss. “Paskalia Foulia”
“flowers of Easter time”—are sold
to the festive throng in

everywhere
the narrow streets,
shops you see the passover lambs
with gilded feet and the choice pieces
—the kidneys—placed on gold foil.
The variety of types and costumes
seen in this throng where the West
meets the East is most remarkable. All
the Christians of the Levant are there:
Bulgarians in embroidered jackets;
Greeks from the mountains, sporting
the fustanella, the kilt which resem-
bles the dancer’s skirt; burly men
from the Adriatic, Levantines, Ar-
menians; ladies in the latest Paris
fashions, genuine and otherwise, and
of course, a host of French, Germans,
Italians, Austrians, Russians, English
and Americans.
In the Balkans, Austria, Germany—
In fact, all parts of Europe, one finds
countless Easter customs that were
apparently of very ancient heathen
origin quite unrelated to the feast of
the resurrection.
The many nationalities of Austria-
Hungary afford a particularly wide
field in this respect, since the princi-
pal ones, Germans, Slavs, Magyars,
have come to occupy the country in
the Christian era with all their cus-
toms already formed since centuries.
The physical conditions of Austria-
Hungary, with the Danube valley sur-
rounded by high and continuous
mountain chains, were especially fa-
vorable for the perpetuation of ancient
heathen customs.
In central and southern Hungary,
especially in the valley of the Theiss
and at its confluence with the Danube,
there is a purely Magyar eastern cus-
tom suggestive, perhaps, of their .-for-
mer homes in the central Asian
steppes. As in nearly all popular cus-
toms of the Magyars, the horse takes
a conspicuous part in it. Easter day
the young men of the village pour wa-
ter over the girls and Easter Monday
the girls get ready for their “revenge.”
This revenge is, of course, in the na-
ture of an acknowledgment of the at-
tention received, and carries with it

All day Easter Sunday streams of pil-
grims visit the tomb itself. Only three
can enter it at a time, for it is six feet

by the sarcophagus—a white marble
-shelf,' (bracked across, supported on a mar-
ble slab, about three feet high. Lamps of
silver and gold hang above it and shed
a dim light upon the figure of a Greek
priest on silent guard. This is the Holy

Princes and paupers, kneeling in the
place where they believe Jesus lay for
three days, stretch quivering fingers to
touch the marble shelf and sob as if

Hidden

in Roofing
If your roofing is not guaran-
teed by a responsible company
you run the risk of rinding
out its defects after it is on
the roof. It costs no more to get a
written guarantee with the best re-
sponsibility behind it.

HOW TO STOP DANDRUFF
AND LOSS OF HAIR
Here is a simple, inexpensive treat-
ment that will almost always stop
dandruff and scalp itching, and keep
the hair thick, live and lustrous: At
night, spread the hair apart and rub a
little resinol ointment into the scalp
gently, with {he tip of the finger. Re-
peat this until the whole scalp has
been treated. Next morning, shampoo
thoroughly with resinol soap and hot
water. Work the creamy-resinol lather
well into the scalp. Rinse with grad-
ually cooler water, the last water be-
ing cold.. Resinol ointment and resinol
soap are sold by all druggists.—A5y.
churches of southern India—all these
races mingle with Latins from west-
ern Europe, with Slavs from the East
and North, with Germans, English,
Americans, Scandinavians.
And this, mind you, against a pecu
liar background of Jewish life—at one
time largely Sephardic—that is, of
Jews driven centuries ago from Spain
and Portugal, but in late years to a
fast growing extent from Ashkenazi;
Jews who have returned, thanks to
the efforts of a powerful propaganda,
from Poland, Russia, the Balkans,
Austria-Hungary, Germany, Holland
and England.
In the midst of all, and presenting
an individuality perhaps more distinct
than all the others, you see the Mo-
hammedan master of the land—the
Arab in his solemn garb and majestic
bearing, and the Turkish official and
soldier haughty in the exercise of his
duty to keep the Christian pilgrims in
check and to preserve order.
Elaborate processions and ceremo-
nials make holy week in Jerusalem a
gorgeous event, where the intimate
note of the resurrection is not conspic-
uous. Especially does it bring out the
division of Christendom, so strikingly
shown in the way in which Latins,
Greeks, Armenians and Copts share
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Though the census of 1S96 gives the
“muteessariflik” of Jerusalem 25,000
Latins and only 16,000 Greeks, the
visitor is apt to be impressed with the
religious predominance of the latter.
Particularly at Easter the marvelous
services of the Greek orthodox church
convey the priority of these ceremo-
nies; none, perhaps, is more impres-
sive than that of the washing of feet,
on the Thursday before Easter.
On that day a platform is erected in
the court of the church, which is occu-
pied by the Greek patriarch of Jerusa-
lem and twelve high church digni-
taries. Court stairs, niches and every
corner is crowded by the faithful to
witness the enactment of the scene
when Jesus washed the feet of his
disciples. The parts of Jesus, John,

Cartersville,
from Mrs. Will T. Lawhon, of Carters-
ville: “I am writing this because I
want other women to know what
Cardui has done for me.
Before I commenced taking Cardui,
I had headache so bad, I would have
to stay in bed for days at a time. I
suffered untold misery with my head
and back.
I saw Cardui advertised and decided
to try it. I took three bottles. After
taking the first bottle, I could see a
vast difference in my feelings, and de-
cided to take the second, and took
three in all.
After taking the third bottle, I felt
like a new woman altogether, and I
will always praise Cardui as a boon to
woman’s ills.
I believe it saved my life and I am
now a well, healthy woman, and my
husband joins me in my praise for
Cardui.
Before I began taking Cardui, I was
irregular, but since I began taking it,
I have been regular and without any
pain.
Everyone tells me I am the picture
of health since taking Cardui. I will
recommend it to every suffering
woman.”
If you suffer from any of the ail-
ments so common to women, or if you
feel the need of a good strengthening
tonic, why not give Cardui, the wom-
an’s tonic, a trial? Begin today.

“I don’t know that I exactly be-
lieve in it,” replied the scientist. “But
after a man has gone to the trouble
of finding out what it is, it seems a
shame to contradict it.”
