Above all else Rome is a city of memories. The walls and arches of imperial days, the Renaissance pal­ aces, and the churches which mark every step in the long march from primitive Christianity to papal su­ premacy--these stamp themselves on the mind. The incongruous modern elements are as transitory In their impression as' Is the whirling dust from a motor car blown past the tombs on the Applan Way. The walls of Aurelian, the statue of Harcus -A^irellus, benignant on the capitol, the august disarray of the Fbrum--these are actual and Imperish­ able. So, too, is the spacious splen­ dor of St. Peter's, with Its solemn sequence of ritual, in which, as the Holy Week advances, so mystic and superb a drama of divinity la en­ acted. There are many moods In which to approach the great Easter services in the great papal city, from that of the devote to whom the ever-burning lamps round the apostle's tomb" mark a spot only less sacred than that of the holy sepulcher itself, to thaqt of the casual eight-seer, who flutters his Baedeker unabashed through the aw­ ful mystery of the mass. Perhaps those do not see least of the signifi­ cance who look on the magnificent ceremonies with a haunting conscious­ ness of Rome's twofold greatness, and who never quite lose sight of the city of the Caesars in the city of the saints. It is Impossible even to approach 8t Peter's, where most of us choose to see the services, in spite of the ri­ val claims of the Lateran, mother of churches--it Is Impossible to reach the curving colonnades and mighty front without passing by memorials of an earlier, hostile life and creed. Per­ haps in driving thither the wanderer may catch a glimpse of the immortal pair, the Great Twin Brethren, who guard in stone the stairs to the capi­ tol. Or, it may be. the shattered, ma­ jestic columns of the temple of Mars Ultor have lifted for a moment their j •tern memorial of Caesar'a death and j Augustus' vengeance. i Once within St. Peter'*, however, conflicting memories fall away1; lost, : as is all sense of minor faults in the building itself, in the impression of vastness, of an all-enJto'ding and all- reconatling hospitality. That hospital­ ity is taxed by the crowds whica gather for the services of Holy Week. Palm Sundaly initiates the series of elaborate ceremonies with its beauti­ ful rite of blessing the palms. A mot­ ley throng it is which streams up the wide steps and gathers about the altar above which glows in a golden halo the holy dove There ^re the foreign sight-seers, of course, made evident iy their camp-stools and md guide- [ books, but there are also soldiers in picturesque variety of uniform, priests wearing their black draperies in the classic folds which recall the toga, shepherds from the Campagna, beard­ ed and wild-eyed in their sheepskins; pilgrims from far countries with the fixed visionary gaze of those who lool$ on their sacred places after long de­ sire. Sacred indeed Is the spot to'those who hold the faith of Rome. In front of the high altar with its baldacchino --the twisted bronze columns tower­ ing up superbly, yet dwarfed by the firmament of the dome above--burta the golden, never-dying lamps which mark the resting place, so tradition says, of the apostle. But on Palm Sunday the attention is fixed on the altar in the Cappella Giulia, and the pressure of the eager people increases cruelly as the bas­ kets of palms are set down by the altar stairs and the canons slowly move to their places. The priests are in violet, the Lenten color. The deep hue brightened by wonderful inter­ weaving of gold and silver, and the crucifix on the altar Is also violet- veiled. There is no organ music, and the deep notes of the chanting, swell with a strange solemnity through the echoing vaults. At last the solemn final word and gesture of blessing have been given, and one by one the priests lift and bear away the palm branches. Then the olive, which is given in their stead to the people, is broughf for­ ward in great sheaves, and a priest in gold-embroidered violfet robe holds out the silvery branches to the hands which reach and clutch for them, till all the nearest of the throng have re­ ceived their portion and pass on twigs to those behind. Peace and blessing is that olive to bring to those who reverenly receive the gleaming leaves. The distribution completed, the cardi­ nal and canons with their attendant train move in stately procession down the church, out into the portico, and so back to the altar. They bear aloft, with the tall tapers and the shrouded crucifix, the golden palm branches; not simple boughs such as were cast before Christ by the people of Jerusa­ lem. These are fantastically dipped and twisted till they look more like furled standards, a significant touch in that church which is so ready to turn the martyr symbol into the con* quering banner.

Professor's Son Translated Father's 3peach Into the Vernacular. A college professor, in company with his Bon, was enjoying a walk in the country, when he met an old farmer. It had been a very wet sea­ son, and the professor, thinking to start the conversation in a way that would prove interesting to the farmer, remarked: "There has been a rather abnormal precipitation of late." The farmer seemed somewhat em­ barrassed, and the professor's son, who used a different vernacular, though he was a student in the college to which his father was attached, at­ tempted to straighten out the matter. Drawing the farmer to one side, he said in a superior way: "The governor means that we've been having a devil of a lot of rain." --Harper's Weekly. MACHINE-GROUND PAINT. Occasionally one hears the "hand- mixed" paint of the painter slightingly spoken of as "unscientific" and "not thoroughly mixed." The facts are all on the side of the painter and his hand- prepared paint. It is the most "scientific" paint there Is, because it is made on the spot to suit the particular purpose for which it is to be used. It is as scientific as a good doctor's prescription. If the painter did not mix it thus it would be as unscientific as a patent medi­ cine. Moreover, the paint which a good painter turns out is made of genuine white lead and pure linseed oil. If he does not mix it himself ho is not sure what is in it, and conse­ quently his client cannot be sure. As for not being thoroughly mixed by machinery, that is simply a1 mis­ statement. White Lead as made by National Lead Company is thorough­ ly incorporated with 7 or 8 per cent, of pure Linseed oil in the factory, mak­ ing a paste. This paste need only be thinned with additional linseed oil to make it ready for the brush. The thorough incorporation of pig­ ment and oil has already been accom­ plished before the painter gets it. To know how to tell pure white lead fa a great advantage to both painter and house-owner. National Lead Com­ pany will send a tester free to anyone Interested.

For children teat THAT OFFICE YARN. FARMSfeFREE Now that it is known that in the year just closed nearly sixty thou­ sand from the United States declared their intention of making their homes in Canada, it might not be out of place to search for some reasons that muu'iu uiiiig mis about. These people are but following the example of the fifty-five or sixty thousand who did the same thing the year previous, and an almost equal number who the year before that but followed the example of the thousands of the year preced­ ing. An excellent climate, certain and positive crops of grain of all kinds, good< markets for their produce, land --and good land, too-- at low prices, easy terms of payment, (not forget­ ting the 160 acres of land given free by the Government, particulars of which the Canadian Government Agent whose name appears elsewhere will tell you about) and then the splendid social conditions. The situation la pretty well sized up by a writer in one of the magazines. Quoting from this article, we find this: "Those of us who made good in the States," inter­ jected another settler as if to con­ tinue the story of his neighbor, "have had it easy from the start; a little money is a mighty good thing on com­ ing into a new ceunlj-y. But those who make an entry, or even buy lands at low rates, are able to square things in two or three seasons' crops. There are hardships in building shanties, and then with increasing prosperity getting things into shape for better homes. But affairs go much as in the States. We have the largest liberty in the world; there is more home rule m the Provinces than in the several Btates of the Republic. Taxes are light and with only a few million peo­ ple west of Winnipeg we don't get in each other's way. One's friends over the line probably thought we would not live through the winter; and while it is cold, real cold, it is free from the moisture experienced in the east. Schools are good as encouraged by the Government; the enterprising American promoter and Yankee drum­ mer see to it that we take notice of the latest improvements and best agri­ cultural machinery. Altogether we are as near to affairs as we would be on our own farms in the States. Winni­ peg bears the same relation to us as Chicago did at home; and Edmonton with the surrounding region advances as Omaha did in the days when we were as young as the boys yonder. We get' together much as they did in the granges over the border; the gov­ ernment, has established experimental schools of agriculture, and progress in every line is stimulated. This is a great region for grazing," we hear the Calgary citizen continuing, "and then with building elevators of wheat at one dollar a bushel, many of us find time to go over to the live stock ex­ hibition in Chicago or visit old friends during the course of the winter. Every man is taken for what he is worth or for what he can raise; and in this good air and on this fertile soil we intend to show our old friends that we are made of the right stuff-- that we are chips of the old block who built up the American West" Mrs. A:--I think offices are horrid. My husband is out all day and says he is looking for an office. Mrs. Z.--How funny! Mine is out late nights and says he is detained at the office. Hope. Walter Damrosch tells of a matron in Chicago who, in company with her young nephew, was attending a musical entertainment. The selections were apparently en­ tirely unfamiliar to the youth; but when the "Wedding March'* of Men­ delssohn was begun he began to evince more interst. "That sounds familiar," he said. "I'm not strong on these classical pieces, but that's a good one.. What is it?" 'That," gravely explained the matron, "is the 'Maiden's Prayer.' "-- Harper's Weekly. A Gentle Request. "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I wish you wouldn't pay so much attention to the personal popu­ larity of horses this year." "What do you mean ?" "You have a dreadful habit of pick­ ing out animals who are favorites be­ fore the race, and absolutely friend­ less after."
