Lovemaking In Public.
It ip evident from her letter to
I The Ladies’ Home Journal that
Mies Lilian Bell finds much in
Paris to interest and amuse her.
Among other things that are rather
[novel to an American “one sees,”
(she writes, “the comical sight of a
French bride and bridegroom, in
fall the glory of their bridal array
—white satin, veil and orange
blossoms—driving through the
streets in open cabs and hugging
and kissing each other with an
unctuous freedom which is apt to
[throw a conservative American
[into a spasm of laughter. Indeed
fclie frank and candid way that
lovemaking goes on in public
[among the lower classes is so
amazing that at first you think
[you never in this world will become
accustomed to it, but you get
accustomed to a great many
strange sights in Paris. If a kiss
explodes with unusual violence in
cab near mine, it sometimes
scares the horse, but it no longer
disturbs me in the least. My
lervousness over that sort of thing

A Genuine .Bill, but Split.
A few days ago a sensation was
caused at Ionia by the discovery of
a counterfeit $100 silver certifi
cate. The bill had been offered to
the cashier cf one of the local
banks, and pronounced by him to
be bogus, and this opinion was
confirmed later by a Secret Service
officer who went there to investi
gate the matter. The bill had
partially split in two, and it was
supposed to be one of the kind
where the front and back are
printed on seperate sheets of
thin paper by counterfeiters, and
then pasted together, with the silk
threads between. The bill was
sent to the Treasury office at
Washington, and on Monday the
Ionia cashier and the Secret
Service officer were astounded at a
dispatch from Washington stating
that tho bill was genuine and that
$100 in currency had been sent on
to redeem it. This‘is the first in
stance known of a United States
note splitting in two.—Detroit

LENT-WHAT IT MEANS.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Feast so Universally-
Observed.
Lent commenced on February
23rd. Easter Sunday falls on
April 10th. Easter day, on which
all the rest depend, is always the
first Sunday after the full moon,
which happens upon or next after
March 21st, and if the full moon
happens upon a Sunday, Easter
day is the Sunday after. Full
moon, however, for the purposes
of the rules and tables of church,
movable and immovable feasts, is
the 14th day of a lunar month,
reckoning according to an ancient
ecclesiastical computation. The
beginning of Lent must always be
46 days before Easter, thus pro
viding 40 days of fasting, exclus
ive of the six Sundays.
Lent is an old Saxon word, sig
nifying spring; therefore, it means,
in reality, the spring fast. This
fact is believed to be of Jewish
origin, corresponding with the
preparation of the Jew r s for the
yearly expiation. The number 40
was anciently appropriated for
seasons of repentance and humil
iation. This w r as the number of
days during which God covered
the earth with the deluge, the
number of years in which the chil
dren of Israel did penance in the
wilderness, the number of days
that Moses fasted on the mount
and Elijah in the wilderness. The
Ninevites had this number of days
allowed for their repentance, and
our Lord, w T hen he was pleased to
fast in the wilderness, observed
the same length of time.
Observance of Lent has in
creased in solemnity and attention
to matters of detail in many of
the city churches within the last
ten years. The gradual expansion
of high church ideas has added
greatly to the impressiveness of
some of the week-day services. In
the perpetuation of the primitive
customs of fasting, some of the
Roman Catholic churches are
much more exact than are the
Protestant Episcopal churches.
There are few churchmen, how-
ever, who carry out absolutely the
prescribed ritual of ancient times.
Ash Wednesday, for instance, is
observed nowadays w r ith much less
rigidity than of yore. The name
of that day is derived from the
custom that prevailed in the prim
itive church for penitents to ex
press humiliation by lying in sack
cloth and ashea. By the coarse
ness of the sackcloth they ranked
themselves among the meanest
and lowest condition of men. By
ashes, and sometimes by earth,
cast upon their heads, they made
themselves low r er than the lowest
of the creatures of Gqd, and put
themselves in mind of their mor
tality, which would reduce them
to dust and ashes.
Good Friday is the holiest and
most solemn day in the Lenten
season. This day, sacred to the
memory of our Saviour’s suffer
ings, has been observed from the
very first age of Christianity as a
day of the strictest fasting and
humiliation. All devout church
people, both Roman Catholics and
Episcopalians, are expected on
this day to suspend all pursuits
of business, attend the services of
the church, and devote the inter
nals of public worship to holy
meditation on the sufferings of
Christ and to other pious exercises.
In a great many Roman Catholic
and Episcopalian churches it is
customary to hold on Good Friday
a passion service of three hours, !
commemorative of tho three hours’ j
agony of Jesus on the cross. :
On Easter Sunday the church
commemorates the glorious event
of the Saviour’s resurrection. This
festival, for antiquity and impor
tance, takes precedence of all other
church festivals. It was observed
from the very first ages, and each
succeeding year sees its observance
more general on the part of all
religious denominations. In near
ly all of the churches—even those
that do not observe Lent—cele
brate Easter Sunday as a festival
of music and flowers.—Savannah
Press.
Speaking of the power aDd use
of the press as an agent for good,
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage says: “I
believe the consecrated printing
press is the chief agency under
God to save the world. In
Ezekiel’s prophecy the Angel of
God, supposed to be Christ, ap
pears with an ink horn hung at
his side. And I have no doubt
the ink horn will have an impor
tant part in the day of judgment.
Those who have used it will receive
plaudit, and those who have mis
used it to receive condemnation.”

THE BLUES.
When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted
woman is suddenly plunged into that
perfection of misery, the blues, it is a
sad picture.
It is usually this way:—
She has been feeling “out of sorts”
for some time; head has ached, and
back also; has
slept poorly, been
quite nervous,
and nearly
fainted once
or twice; head
dizzy, and *
heart has
beat very
fast; then C
that hear
ing-down feeling. Her doctor says,
“ cheer up, you have dyspepsia; you’ll
be all right soon.”
But she doesn’t get “ all right.” She
grows worse day by day, till all at
once she realizes that a distressing fe
male complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She has lost faith in him; hope van
ishes; then comes the brooding, morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues.
