Roughly speaking, there ,5^! are about 565.000,000 Christians ),000 non-Christians. The Christians are thus classified: Roman Catholics. 272,860,000; Eastern churches, 120,000,000; Protestant churches, 171,650,000. The non-Christiana are thus classified: Jews, 12,205,000; Mohammedans, 221,825,000; Buddhists, 138,031,000; Hindus, 210^540,000; Confuclanists and Taolsts, 300,830,000; Sbintoists, 25,000,000; Animists, 15^270,000; wclassified 15,280,000.

It may safely be said that the allied Christian nations will celebrate Easter this year with unusual solemnity. The life immortal is a comforting belief just now, when the world has been brought face to face with death by the great war as never before. Probably also it will be cele* brated as usual in Germany, for the Germananuigp much ado over Easter. Easter in Russia. Even In distracted Russia Easter will be Observed, for the Greek Catholic church makes much of the celebration and Easter observance Is a part Of the national life. Certainly Easter of 1918 was observed as usual in many parts of Russia, although the anarchist disorders were well under way. Here is a bit of description from a letter written from Kief in 1918: "Easter is the greatest festival of all the year; infinitely more so than Christmas. At 12 o'clock we drove out to the 'Larva,' the Oldest monastery and the richest in all Russia. Can you imagine a huge courtyard surrounded by a 40-foot wall and Immense covered gateway, groups of large white buildings all ablaze with light, with the snow for •^background; the center building the church, doors open, the inside lighted by a thousand candles, and the chanting of 1,500 priests. In the open courtyard were thousands of soldiers with uncovered heads, each bearing a lighted candle. To the right stands the bell tower, a wonderful structure over 200 feet high. At the stroke of 12 the most wonderful bells in Russia peal forth as, you have never heard bells*in America. Thousands of voices cry 'Christ is rfcen,' and the priests come forth and march around the building." In the days before the great war no festivals !* Europe attracted so many foreigners as the celebration in Rome of the holy week. It was not unusual for more than 10,000 visitors to be present a large proportion of them being English and Americans--and also Protestants. Doubtless there will be many visitors this Easter season. Easter Sunday is the culmination of the ceremonies. Tho j pope himself officiates at high mass in St. Peter's with" the most gorgeous rituaL It is after he extends his blessing that the papers containing prayers are thrown down from his balcony to be scrambled for by the congregation. Jerusalem, the Holy City. The celebration of this Easter in Jerusalem w^l probably be noteworthy. It is the first Easter seven consecutive centuries Which finds the holy city permanently freed from the misrule of the Moslem. Mohammedan misrule and oppression had their beginning 13 centuries ago, but the Crusaders held possession of the city twice--once under Godfrey of Bouillon (1009-1187) and again under Frederick II (1229-1244). The British, under General Allenhy, were in possession at Easter^ of 1918, bqf fighting was going on in ajl the surrounding region and the fate of the city wax still' la the balance. In normal times huainea^ in Jerusalem comes fb * • stop at the Easter season and religious ceremonial Is the dominating interest. It is a sort of fourfold celebration. The Mohammedans contribute by holding a pilgrimage to the tnp^ of Hoses. The Jews celebrate the passover. Both the Greek Christlari and Latin Christian churches hold elaborate celebrations. One of the most striking ceremonies is J"T«elebrated by the Greek church lii the Church of the Holy Sepul- Cher and is locally called "Miracle of the Holy Fire." The eniS; 4>iusiasm Is so great that at i-: iljeveral celebrations hundreds of !%f^orshipers have been crushed to - death. The essential features of the . r Ceremony are the reception and -dissemination of the "holy fire." vflthe fire is kindled in the holy •epulcher, and passed * out through an opening made for the purpose In 'the side of the holy tomb. It fs then made use of to light candles with which every worshiper is equipped. The intention is to symbolize the descent of the Holy Spirit The candles are kept as sacred relicS and are relighted only at marriages, births and deaths. The reception of the fire is the work of the patriarch. He appears at the head of a gorgeous procession of ecclesiastics--bishops, archbishops and priests. He leads his followers three times around the holy tomb and enters when passing the doorway the third time, leaving his followers standing by. Shortly after the "holy fire" appears y through the opening in the form of a blazing torch. Men have been appointed to snatch the torch. These light their own candles and pass it on to their neighbors; every burning candle becomes a train leading on the sacred fire to a hundred others. Robert Hlcbens' description of the scene Is in part this: w"It came at last. With a fierce gesture as of savage exultation the long-haired priest withdrew his arm from the hole and held up a great bunch of flamiAg candles. And then delirium seized the close-packed thousands. All the mouths opened to let out yells, shrieks and the wild titterings of women. All the arms gesticulated with frenzy .toward the smoky yellow flames. All the bodies struggled desperately, cruelly to get to them. And the priest Hipped his torch, and suddenly fire began to rush through the great church. The patriarch tore out of the holy sepulcher and fell in the Greek cathedral with t|ie fire in his hauds. From the balconies near the blue star-spangled dome musses of candles were let down by long cords, were lighted by priests below and were drawn up flaming. Fire encircled the rotunda, , three tiers of fire. . . . Through the glare, the * smoke, the roaring, the procession . . . bishops jand priests, accompanied by soldiers, by acolytes, by banner bearers, by canvasses beating the floor with their staves. \. . . Down the avenue of banners and muskets and torches came bearded and long-haired men In magnificent vestments, . . . and the gorgeous Armenians, almost like moving idols, clad in the Jewels of their wonderful treasury; arid the withered-looking Copts and the astounding Abyssinlans, in magenta, with partly shaved heads and great tufts of coarse hair, like the gaudy puppets that people a nightmare." From time immemorial the Christians off Jerusalem have observed the events of Christ's passion, death and resurrection in complete and dramatic •fashion, and it was from Jerusalem that Easter (customs spread to other parts of the world.. The ^earliest record of these observances is in 385. At Jthat time the Christians strove to realize by appropriate ceremony and rjtual the events of the last acts in the life of Jesus. Each event was commemorated, as far as possible, on the spot of its •occurrence. The proper passages from the Gospel were read and appropriate prayers were said as the clergy and people went in precession from place to place--Bethany, Gethsemane, Golgotha, ' the sepulchc-r anu Olivet. It "was during the-middle ages that the character of the ceremonies t!hanged greatly, taking on spectacular features which have persisted to the present day. Tradition with more or less accuracy has fixed the course of the Via Dolorosa aud the 14 stations at which the chief events on the way to the cross occurred.- It is followed by thousands of visitors on Easter week. Easter is the principal festival of the Christian year for the reason that it commemorates the res» urrection of Jesus. In the words of Paul, "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain and your faith is also v|dn.M "But," he says, "now la Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that sleep." Which is to say that the Christian feligion stands on the resurrection of Jesus. Pagan Rites Survive. But the Easter season is observed by millions Who are not even nominally Christians. They do BOt celebrate the resurrection of Christ, but rather the end of winter, the approach of spring, the beginning of life in nature after the long sleep of winter. Celebrations of this kind antedate recorded history. When Christianity came into the world the Christian church adopted and modified such of these pagan rites of celebration as it could not abolish. This accounts for the many queer rites of the Christian observance of Easter in various parts of the world. They are pagan rites that had their origin in the remotest past, and have been modified by time and custom and a changed meaning. Thus the parade of fashion to Easter morning church services in the large American cities had its origin ages ago In the superstition that failure to wear at least one new piece of clothing would brihg bad luck during the year. The use of the egg as a symbol of new life is far older than Christianity. The Easter rabbit Is a survival of an old, old superstition. The use of flowers as an expression of rejoicing is probably almost as old as man himself. The paschal candles are in another form the bonfires lighted by our remote ancestors to celebrate the arrival of spring. Just how the rabbits managed to get into the Easter celebration nobody seems to be able to find out with any certainty. Anyway, they are not properly rabbits; they are hares. Undoubtedly the association of the hare with Easter and its was introduced here by the Germans, but where they got the Idea is what none of the antiquarians have been able to learn to their satisfaction. As far as they have gone they figure this way: The relation between the moon and the hare is fairly close. The relation of the moon to Easter is very close. Gradually in ancient times the hare seems to have become associated with Easter and with Easter eggs. Easter and th4 Egg. 'Baster without eggs--fresh laid, dyed and sugar >--^ould be like Christmas without Santa Claus, the stocking and the tree. And the association of the egg with Easter is easily explained. Many of the old peoples of earth have used the egg from, time immemorial as the symbol of the germ of life. The wise men. of old taught that the world was hatched from an egg. AM over the pagan world it signified fertility and potential life. The place of the egg was therefore firmly fixed in the spring celebrations that long antedated Christ and the Christian Easter, The Christian church found the egg so firmly established as an Easter symbol that It could not be dislodged. Therefore the church adopted the egg and adopted it as a symbol of the resurrection. In the transition of Easter from a heuthen to a Christian festival the tradition of the egg stands unbroken. When the coloring of eggs began, to the Christian the white stood for the immaculate conception ; the red for the blood of the redemption, and the yellow for the dawn of the resurrection morn. . It Is natural that many queer relidP^f ancient egg customs should have survived, while many have died on the way. For Instance, the rulers of earth no longer indulge in Easter eggs wholesale. After the Easter celebration found its way Into France every hen roost In the country was searched for the largest eggs, which were taken as a tribute to the king. And after the Easter high mass in the chapel of the Louvre there were brought into the royal cabinet pyramids of glided eggs decked with verdure. The chaplain, after blessing them, distributed them among the persons of the court in the presence of his most Christian majesty. In the time of Henry I, eggs were In great demand on Easter morn. In the tower is an old royal roll with an account of entry, "18d £>r 400 eggs to be used for orpamental purposes for Easter." ( I That the whole world associates the egg with Easter Is shown by the fact that the Christian -children In Mesopotamia play the same, game at Easter of "picking" eggs that American boys do. In England in many places the boysand girls "roll" their colored eggs, Just as the Washington children do on the White House grounds. This White Housq egg-rolling, by the way, lk quite a celebration and as a curious spectacle is worth There are many curious customs that obtain at thaj h*ve nothing to do with the day. Kor Reorganization of Militia. Senator Brady of Chicago called up his military bill and it was passed in the neoate with an emergency clause. It seeks to provide a plan of reorganization of the state militia to put the guardsmen back on the Same basis they werp before the dcc'.araticn ©f war. The Illiaols colonels at the front favor the hill and tbe plan Is to pass it so that the reorganization may take place when the militiamen return. MANY OLD LEGENDS OF EASTER *- All Christian People Have, Them iir One Form or Another, Some Extremely Ancient. Many emrlous aad heautifnl legends are associated with Easter and Holy week, some of them dating from the days when the peoples of northern Knrope worshiped Eostre, or Ostera, Am spring goddess, whose nam« is stfll, psarrTrl fr the word "Baster." r-t In a few remote places the legend lingers that the Bun dances In the skies when it rises on Easter morning. Ek>me of the Irish peasantry even now rise before dawn and go out to a hilltop to watch the "sun dance," for it Is said that those who do so will get their wishes. ;• AC one; tittle Ops "belief .-pteralled throughout the British isles. Herrick « w refers to "the dancing Easter Day," but even in his time people were beginning to doubt If the phenomenon really occurred, for Sir Thomas Browne in his Vulgar Errors, published in 1646, says: "We shnil not, I hope, disparage the Resurrection of our Redeemer if we say that the sun doth not dance on Easter Day." < Throughout Europe colored eggs afe exchanged on this festival, In token of the Resurrection, for, even In pre- Christian times, an egg was regarded as a type of new life, and the ancient Egyptians and\ Persians exchanged dyed or painted eggs at their spring festivals, when all the .world seems to speak of Resurrection after the cold and darkness of the winter. Eggs dyed red were regarded as particularly symbolical of the death and resurrection of our Lord. Originally the Easter eggs given to children were real ones, tinted red, purple, green or yellow, or covered with gold leaf. Egg rolling Is an old Easter Monday amusement in the north of Europe, aad tlx custom has traveled to'America. BILL IS PASSED 8Mate Provides Machinery^for Pram- Iftg New Constitution--Illinois Lft. r* bor Forms Its Own Politi- *** cal Party. Springfield.--Backed by 8ecretary of State Emmerson, a newly drawn "blue sky" measure, which is also favored by the state administration, was offered the past week in the senate by Senator Kesslnger. The bill Is an Immediate development of the situatton disclosed in the pending matters before Judge Landls, and while not perfect, as Secretary of State Emmerson points out, is expected to go far in ridding Illinois of the "blue sky" sharks. Essential changes from the present ate law eliminate the preseht system of having the state of Illinois issue a license to corporations that bank upon future developments of their properties to pay dividends, and the very important new provision that all such Companies must carry the plain provision In their advertising matter that the state of Illinois does not guarantee the truth of any statements in such advertising. < The bill is to be taken up by the senate revenue committee at a public hearing this week. „ Secretary of State Emmerson issued this statement with respect to the bill: 'The bill to regulate the iale of securities offered by Senator Kesslnger was drawn under my supervision. It represents my judgiuent as to the proper theory of the prevention of fraud in the sale of speculative securities. "Practical experience in the administration of the 'blue sky' act of 1017 has demonstrated that tn its practical operation it promotes rather than prevents fraud. It contains a provision for the licensing Of salesmen. Through the use of this license unscrupulous promoters have represented to the credulous that the state is backing the enterprise. "The Kesslnger bill proceeds upon the theory that publicity kills. "Frauds arise In the sale of specu latlve securities. As to these, the bill requires full and complete information relative to the organization's assets, plan and contemplated operation to be kept constantly on file in the office of the secretary of state." By a vote of 42 to 2 the state senate passed the Curtis constitutional convention bill providing the machinery for the election of the 102 delegates that will frame a new basic law for Illinois to take the place of the one made in 1870. Senators Roos of Forest Park and Swift of Libertyville, both Republicans, cast negative votes. The Curtis bill fixes a special primary for September 10 to nominate two delegates in each of the fifty-ore senatorial districts. A special election Is provided for November 4 and the convention Is to meet January 6 in the hall of representatives in the statehouse. It is expected the convention will sit for four or five months framing the provisions to be incorporated in the new basic law. The Curtis bill now goes to the house for concurrent action. IJouse leaders have been conferring with Senator Curtis and the bill as It passed the senate meets the ideas of the house members. The Cook county civil service bill, after material amendments, was sent to third reading in the senate. The bill Was changed to place tile authority of appointment of the civil service cotmrtisslon in the president of the county hoard. The measure as introduced by Senator Barbour placed the appointive power in the hands of the governor, the judges of the circuit court and the president of the county board. '\ The Rdhblns bill was passed by the house legalising community ' high school districts that were organized under the legislative act knocked out last year by the supreme court. Chicago is to have one last chance to get together with itself and attempt to reach an agreement as to all "Chicago bills" that are pending before the general assembly. Ten members of the house of representatives-- five each from the committees on municipalities and electionswill hold a hearing in the city council chamber Friday, April 25, and will continue sessions as long as Is necessary, possibly through another week. Both houses adjourned until Wednesday because of the city &u4 village elections held downstate. rV Read Cost Net to Drop. ^ ' A reduction in freight rateS for transporting road building material, but no decline in the price of sand, gravel or brdkevi stone is the condition which faces sti te officials who have been battling wi h rates and the cost of material in v lelr effort to begin work on the state aid roads. Frank I. Bennett, director of public works and buildings, returned from W ashington and announced that in his judgment adduction will be made by \'o*> federal miln»ad administration of perhaps 12Vi f>*r cent on road building material. This rate was Increased 25 per cent some time ago. Thomas --Vredenburgh received a telegram from Washington, stating that the industrial hoard has held the present prices „of sand, gravel and broken stone will, remain unchanged. This ruling applies to all material used In road construction except cement, which was reduced from i tot M fieata a barrel a few days-'ago; '-f v..V^vVp-. • Work which brings any •train on tb« back and kidneya to cause kidney ailmenta. such as backache, lamenes^ beadache, dizzinMS sad dmtrrftflinp annarjr trouble* Kite* Mispbicti m-k; set kind of , vA doubly hard and if neglected then is danger of gravel, dropay or Bright** diaeaw.

Plan to Beautify Cltiei of gtate. x Extension of the city plan idea to every municipality of Illinois, so that each community of the state may have a definite architectural scheme of future development, may result from a meeting of the Illinois Commercial Organization Secretaries at Chicago. An important agency for crystalirlng this Idea In every community may be an Illinois Chamber of Commerce, which it Is proposed shall be organized. Both of these subjects were discussed at the meeting. E. J. Krueger, secretary of the Association of Commerce of Jollet, announced that city had Just completed a city plan, which would he adhered to In future physical development of Jollet. Robert B. Beach, business manager of the Chicago Association of Commerce, said Chicago Is just beginning to realize the importance of a city plan to work by. It was announced that Bloomington and Peoria also are discussing the advisability of adopting plans along similar lines for their development. The question of the organization of an Illinois Chamber of Commerce, It was found, Involves problems that have been met In few If any other states in similar emergencies.

The purpose, according to prominent dealers, is to induce customers to put in supplies early and keep mines running. Anthracite is now selling for $9.75 a ton for buckwheat up to $12 for chestnut. Soft coal, however, will not increase. * One company has cut its price on Pocahontas 25 cents a ton, the new price being $7.25. River Traffic Officially OpeiMMlf River traffic has officially opened along the Mississippi. Orders have been issued by MaJ. Gen. Alexander C. Mackenzie. In command of the United States engineers' offices in Rock Island, to prepare for the opening of the river improvements. Barges, boats, dredges, etc., are to be overhauled and placed tn condition for use. An appropriation of $500,000 was allowed Rock Islhnd "district In the last revenue hill, and will be expended for river work In that tlcinity. An equal sum IS left from last year's appropriation. Illinois Labo> Party Is ^ A new political party in Illinois was born here at the state labor convention. &fore than 2,000 delegates from all parts of the state were present. Resolutions commending the All- Russian government of sovlets and asking the American pence delegates in Paris to help Ireland and India in their efforts for self-determination were adopted. The Russian resolution calls for immediate evacuation of Russian territory by American troops. The new labor party went on record regarding a large number of bills pending betore the Illinois general assembly and also hit at members of the lower branch who were instrumental in bringing about the defeat of the labor Injunction limitation bill. John H. Walker, former president of the State Federation of Labor and chairman of the legislative committee. In his report recommended that labor give Its support to the following measures : The eight-hour law for women. Two bills which provide that persons cited for contempt of court for violation of injunction shall bo given trial by jury. Free text books in all counties of^he state. The bill fixtng the minimum wage for school teachers at $80 a month. Senator Kessenger's housing bill. An amended workingmen's compensation bill to be offered in the home and senate next week. Representative Stubbles' bill making It a misdemeanor to destroy any food with a view of controlling market prices. The boiler inspection bill. Senator Dunlap's bill for the creation of a state constabulary should be defeated, the report says, together with house bill 145 known as "the Ryan gag bill." Glenn E. Plumb of Chicago In an address to the convention urged government ownership of railroads and that the Income be divided into three parts: One-third for the government, one-third for cost of operation and one-third to-be divided among the employees. Following Mr. Plumb's address. Chairman Duncan McDonald said that labor will not stand for the private ownership of public utilities, "and if the question Is not settled by the ballqt the other solution Is one which we fear to contemplate." Bill to Rid Chicago of Crime. Chicago's crime situation was laid before the legislators In pamphlet ^prm In a bill seeking tp rid the city of the criminal class". The mesSage of the frontier day holdup was brought here from the Chicago crime commission. Henry Barrett Chamberlin, operating director of the crime commission, is on the ground endeavoring to impress on the legislators the need of a law that will help Chicago to drive the criminal class to other fields of operation. \.
