-m&m isir THE MeHENRY PLAINDEALER, MeHEXRY, ILL. V •' V -•; t < if Holy Week Where tnonarchs bathe the feet of beggars and why hot cross bans are eaten on Good Friday at breakfast:: Impressive church services kHRIST'S moment of triumphant entry , Into Jerusalem, when the people took palms and went to meet lilm, has been commemorated In the church > on the Sunday before Easter, which ' day, therefore, has been called "Pal® Sunday." As this is the beginning of Holy r week, it is a happy Interlude he-. tween the devotional rigors of the ' former part of Lent and the last •tx days, in which all religious exercises and per* sonal sacrifices are redoubled until tlie Coming in of the great feast of Easter. Palm Sunday seems also to foreshadow the com" , Ing of the spring, at least from a merely mundane^ point of view, because of the great throngs e# ; "worshipers who pour Into the streets froin Ro- " man Catholic and Protestant Episcopal churches, wearing or carrying the bits of palm, green branches or willow slips which have been dis­ tributed by the priests. J In this country palm is almost always used fpr this purpose, but in some countries, where this leaf is not available, its place is taken by bits of native green. Box and yew also have been used from time to time as a symbol of Palm Sun­ day. Generally the greater part of the palm Is distributed in the form of little crosses, this be- Ing so especially In the case of the men worship­ ers. The women receive crosses or large or small branches, according to the fashion of differ­ ent parishes. f Rome In Holy Week. * *' \ la the years before the war the Holy week Services at Roiije drew thousands of persons from all parts of ttte world to that city. These cere­ monies begin with the beautiful Palm Sunday procession at St. Peter's. In all Roman Catholic tihurches everywhere the Palm Sunday procession, 1ti which palms are carried in imitation of the ®rst Palm Sunday procession, is a stately and pic­ turesque spectacle. In the churches under the care pi the religious orders, such as the Society of Jesus, the services of Holy week, including those - «f Palm Sunday, are usually very beautiful and elaborate. "Maundy Thursday," the good old Eng­ lish name for Holy Thursday, was so called from the French "mande," from the Latin "mandatum"" - 4-in allusion to Christ's words spoken at the Last . Supper, "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another." In commemoration of Christ's act of humanity in washing the feet of his disciples on the occasion of the Last Supper % one of the most Important ceremonies of the day. Since the early middle ages, has been the washing ;>4*f the feet of 12 or more poor persons, by some .i due of higher worldly standing than themselves.- -* ' • In the very early church this ceremony is not known to have existed, but from the fourth cen- tnry it became yearly more popular. Finally the • tite came to be performed by the pope, all Catholic sovereigns, prelates, priests and nobles. At Dur-, - ttoam cathedral until the sixteenth cenfury every charity boy had a monk to wash his feet. When Queen Elizabeth was thirty-nine years old she per- - formed this ceremony for 39 poor menjahd women ' , at her palace of Greenwich, it bding then the cus­ tom for the sovereign to wash the feet of as many persons as she was years old. Emperor and Beggar. ' On this occasion, history fecites, the feet of the ^honored beggars were first washed by the yeoman •".•of the laundry. Afterward the subalmoner washed them and then the queen herself, kneeling, after . . washing each foot, ipade the sign of the cross ' ttpon it and kissed it. }n Continental countries this practice is still %fcept up. The late emperor of Austria never failed to carry out the rite. The devotees of the Gjeeek church also use this ceremony at Moscow, Petrograd and Constantl- . nople. The day of the Passion, Good Friday In Eng- ' Ilsh, supposedly from "God's Friday," Is the most solemn day of the year fn the church. From the fceglnnlng to the end of the three hours' service • which commemorates Christ's agony upon tlw .cross there Is no lifting of the deep gloom ehar-^ acteristic of the occasion. Altars and celebrants are draped in black in the Roman Catholic churches. In the Lutheran churches also the altar and pulpit are^ draped in black. The three hours* Service Is used in the Episcopal church, and In -tills church, as In the Roman Catholic, the history Of the Passion according to St. Jflhu is part of the Good Friday ritual. This Is followed In theRoman Catholicchureh by the adoration of the cross, an ancient cere­ mony, and the mass of the presanctlfled. so called because the elements have begjj, consecrated the - day before. In the Grefk ctyirch also the Good JTriday fast is extremely strict and the mass very long. " v Churches Filled to Limit. ' More persons flock to the ̂ churches on Good Fri­ day than on any other day of the year except SEaster. In some of the churches in New York it J# necessary .to issue cards for the services on both these •days, as there is no other way of , controlling the great |umMr of worshipers who seek admission. Despite the length and solemnity of the Good Friday service the desire to attend Is so great that it is no uncommon thing to see devout men and women standing in long lines ln< front of the offices where the cards are distributed, fearful that they may even then be too late to gain * admission. The most popular Of the secular customs con- aected with this day 'Is the serving of hot cross »'hjuns. The genuine hot cross bun is rather a small ^one, spicier than ordinary buns, and has a browtr, - sugary surface marked with a cross. It Is said 1-that the hot cross bun is of pagan origin and can ./J>e traced back to an ancient custom of worship^ ^ing the Queen of Heaven by the eating of sacred f lakes. But the buns that existed previous to the Christian era were not in reality those of today, • i because they bore no cross. In very early times | AROUND THE '•fit.

The mining Industry In the Blue- ' ^fields district of Nicaragua Is feeing , rrfnpldly developed* a it the cross was placed on the bun to exorcise its pagan spirit. ' For two dozen buns scald one cupful of milk, add to it a tablespoonful of butter, quarter of a Cupful of sugar and a saltspoonful of . salt. When lukewarm add half a compressed yeast cake, softened In a little warm water, and a pint of flour. This should be mixed early in the evening. Beat well and let the batter rise until foaming and double its original bulk. Then add a half cupful of sugar, quarter of a teaspoonful of mixed cinnamon, nutmeg and mace, a half cupful of currants, a tablespoonful of shredded candled lemon peel and enough flour to make a dough that can be kneaded. Knead well and set in a warm place overnight. In the morning turn out on a well-floured board and divide into pieces weighing about three ounces each. Pat them out round, let them stand for a few njinutes, then roll Into oblong shapes and lay In a greased dripping pan far enough apart for expansion. Anglo-Saxon myth and Jewish pascha are sup­ posed both to have played a part In the construc­ tion of the Christian Easter. Whether Easter was named from the Anglo-Saxon Eostre, goddess of vspr!ng, or from another root which signified "the rising." the meaning seems much the same, and today the universal use of flowers as the most appropriate Easter token testifies to the general recognition of their appropriateness as symboliz­ ing a rising from- the dead. - Why New Clothes Are Worn. The Idea of new clothes on Easter, thought by some to be a mere vanity, Is In fact as truly sym­ bolical of the festival as the Easter egg or the Easter flower. To burst afresh upon the world In festival attire Is an Instinctive demonstration of genuine t Easter feeling. Unfortunately, of late years the spring hat no longer plays a leading part as an Easter symbol, fori as it Insists on appear­ ing with the New Year and won't stay In its shell until Easter time, it can no longer make an Easter entrance with any dramatic effect.- Those who complain that it is difficult to re­ member the date of Raster should glance over the records of the troubles of the early Christians In this regard. It was many, many years before it was possible to settle upon the method where­ by the date of Easter should be determined, and so violent were the disputes over the matter that different schools of Christians arose, some follow­ ing one decree as to the Easter celebration and others obedient to entirely opposite pronuncla- mentos. Discrepancies In Dates. There was such difference in calculations as to the time of the feast that Bede records that in a certain year Queen Eanfledn. who had received her instruction from a Kentish priest of the Ro­ man obedience, was fasting and keeping Palm Sunday while her husband, Oswy, king of North- umbria, following the rule of the British church, was celebrating the Easter festival. In 825, at the council summoned by Constantine, it was de­ cided that Easter day was to be on Sunday and that it was to be calculated at Alexandria, the ^Jiome- of astronomical -science^--From thisfe arose "Hthe present method of calculating Easter, which feets the day as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox, provided that full moon does not fall on Sunday. Should It do so, then Easter Is the following Sunday.--New York Herald. APPROPRIATE DISHES FOR EASTER WEEK .Eggs, ham, chicken and salads figure conspicu­ ously In the Easter menus, the eggs and chicken because of the Easter symbolism; ham, since tt Is connected with eggs from a gastronomic stand­ point, and salads because when Easter comes fresh green viands are particularly enticing.' Here Is a good recipe for smothered chicken, which may well be the principal item of an Easter luncheon or dinner. Split the chicken down tltfe back, season with salt and pepper, and dredge Well with flour on both sides. Put into a bake pan a small cupful of stock and a quarter of a pound of butter. Arrange the giblets on the bot­ tom and on them lay the chicken, breast down. Cover the pan closely and baste every ten or twelve minutes. Allow about fifteen minutes to the pound in roasting. When tender take out the chicken and lay on a hot plate. Wash the gib- , lets, add a cup of rich cream and serve with bis­ cuit. These should be buttermilk or beaten bis­ cuit. To make chicken a la Baltimore, prepare the chicken as for boiling; then cut Into Joints, wipe dry, season well with salt and pepper and dip Into beaten eggs; then roll in fine bread crumbs. Place In a well buttered pan, pour olive oil or melted butter over them and bake In a steady oven for twenty-five minutes. When tender re­ move to a hot dish. Make a good cream gravy to pour over the chicken and serve with corn fritters and thin, crisp slices of bacon, A savory, egg dish for an Easter luncheon or supper includes eggs and artichokes. To make this dish steam or cook in highly salted water as many artichoke buttons as there are guests to serve. Brown delicately in butter as many rounds of thin bread, each piece a little larger in diam­ eter than are artichoke buttons. Place the arti­ chokes on the rounds of bread, and then over each one drop a poached egg, trimmed 'to the exact size of the bread foundation. Pour over the egg a small quantity of sauce Hollandalse. Add a dash Of paprika and serve hot. To make the Hollandalse sauce rtpb to a cream a half cupful of butter; then add the yokes pf two eggs, one at a time, beating weH after each addition. Put in the juice of a half a lemon, a saltspoonful of salt, a dash of paprika or cayenne and a half cupful of boiling water. S^t the bowl containing the mixture In a saucepan of boiling water and stir rapidly and constantly until It thickens like boiled custard. Tarragon vinegar may be used In place of the lemon Jul'*?, with the addition of a few tarragon Iea\ es blanched and cut up very small. Scrambled eggs with green peppers make a very good Easter dish. For four or fiv« persons at least six eggs should be used. Toaat slices of bread for each person and lay In a dish to keep hot. Put a tablespoonful of butler m the frying pan. and while heating break the eggs Into a bowl. Allow a tablespoonful of creaio or water to each egg. Milk is not good for omelettes or scrambled eggs. As soon as the butter is melted and begius to bubble, turn the eggs in, and as the whites begin to set lift and stir with a silver fork. Have ready two finely chopped sweet green pep­ pers from which the seeds have been removed, and after the eggs begin to cook stir the peppers through the mixture. Cook a half moment, dish on the hot toast, garnish with a little watercress or parsley and serve at once. A beautiful-looking salad to serve at Easter ~ Is the water lily salad, which is as delicious to the taste as its appearance suggests. To igake this salad cut the whites of hard-boiled eggs Into point­ ed, petal-like strips. Keep out a couple of yolks, but mash the rest. Mix with mayonnaise and fill the calyx of the arranged petals with the mixture. Put the remainder over the petals to give the ap­ pearance of pollen. Cut lettuce leuves in fine points to simulate the outer leaves. Served on a low glass dish this salad appears at Its best. It is better served on Individual .glass dishes than on a larger platter. Green pepper, lettuce and tomato naiad. Crisp the lettuce leaves by laying In cold water for half an hour. Then shake dry and lay on the Ice. Take the sweet green or red peppers and with a pair of scissors cut the pepper? In lengthwise ribbons. Slice the tomatoes. Arrange the tomatoes on the lettuce v leaves and sprinkle the pepper ribbons over all. Dress with mayonnaise or French dress­ ing.--New York Herald.

It was that of many anoth­ er farmer, and for the benefit of those who contemplate a change the li.berty Is taken of reproducing it. "I will give you here a brief sum­ mary of my experience since coming here six years ago. I was a new hand at farming, my trade being meat-cut­ ting and butchering. My capital was $400, which was a first payment oh my quarter section (100 acres). Most of my istock, harness, Implements, etc., were bought at sales, all "on time," necessarily. The buildings on the place were about as good as nothing and had either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely. There were 26 acres broken, and very badly farmed, bringing poor returns the first year." After mentioning a number of mischances, he says: "In spite of all these drawbacks, I have done well. I consider my farm worth $$500 to $4,000, I have four head of horses, 12 of cattle, over 400 purebred Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur­ keys, besides implements, harness, etc., to run my place. I have a well 170 feet deep with an inexhaustible supply of water. The well with pump cost me $400. I have built a $125 chicken house and put up nearly $50 worth of poultry fencing; have built root cellars to hold over 3,000 bushels of potatoes and other vegetables. As to income, I raise about ten acres of garden and roots annually which net from $600 to $1,000 total. I generally sell from 20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings from $6 to $14 per ton. My grain is most all used on the farm except a few hundred bushels sold to the neigh­ bors for seed. My four milk cows bring In from $50 to $80 each (counting calf). Last year 80 hens laid 600 dozen eggs which averaged more than 25 cents a dozen (I always work for winter egg production). The surplus hens were •old in spring, dressed at $1 each. My turkeys average $2.50 each In fall. By having vegetables to feed my young cattle, the two-year-old' steers hrl^K $75 each In spring."--Advertisement. In the Crowd. '"This Is a 'jam !"
