A rosy flush, n deeper plow, then

in,' Ikiim- iii .Munich, Havana, on one
Cood Friday ph-feditiL' Knslcr, thai day
of days in (leiniiiny. From (lie early
hour of four o'clock t hit street had
been liilnl with pedestrians, bit t the
scent! was unfamiliar. A noticeable
uir jWtittciiiion to siin-ouniline;
wirfflTly objects, a look of deep solemn
ly , nun even sauness, eluiraeteneil
tlio countAiances of Hie people, as with
prayer-books' in hand llicy hm i ieil on to
lay their devotions in the various
churches. The women who at that
early hour were daily seen with laden
inarUet-baskets, from which usually
protruded lisli and sotip-hunes, were
not then thus eipiippcd; for the people
were not to break their fast lmlil the
sun bad set. None stajrircri'd under
the weioht and height of enormous
ills of fuel. The riiL'trcd old milk-
woman, who. with her two black gouts
nun clumsy wooden-wlieelca wagon,
rattled over the pavement each morn
ing w ith music of wooden shoes and
rattling tin cans, hail relimpiished her
accustomed employment, anil, exchang
ing In r long whip for devotional book,
joincil the worshippers.
"llow very odd :l seems," said a
petite, piquant American girl to her
two companions, as, having made hasty
toilets, they gazed out into tho street
upon the. wrontr.

lot, not in her bright red dress and
while cap, but in some dark stulV, actu
ally unaccompanied by her gouts. I'o
you know-, they say she (caves her
goats, i nters,' rtijNP'ior ' prayers and
conies out to lind lief steeds pat ienl ly
wailing? And here, to-day, she is even
going to do better than that. What
an; we? Why tarry we hero idle?"
"l'agans, real heathens, if we don't
soon join their ranks," replied the
ol her maiden, anil so it came to pass
the joyous girls and their Maid auntie,
as cliaperone, sallied forth to gaze upon
what were to so many people solemn
Been es.
Fir.-d, they made their way through
Marion Flat, to the exceedingly beau
tiful Allerlieiligeu Kirche, or Court
Chapel. Stepping from the. dazzling
Minliinc outside, jis darkness seemed
really sepulchral. l'i'fm pnvement to
ceiling the walls were draped tn som
bre Mils of black with gilf fitoimd,.
liisinera)ili( waxen tapers elimmeri-d
and dispelled the darkness. Al the
fai l best end of the room was a sepul
chef or cave, represent ing a tomb hewn
out of solid rock. In thej iler was a
(.pace or opening, in vHiieli lay an im
age of wax representing the body of
Christ. The buiili was covered with
green leaves, plants and wreaths, with
white and scarlet llowcrs in great pro
fusion. Over the tomb were two life
size silverangels, with beauteous shin
ing wings.
At the two ends of the grave; were
stationed two soldiers, with large silver
hi-1 mt ts or hats. They wore uniforms
of nure white, trimmed w ith light blue,
nnir while gaunt lei gloves covcreit
their hands, in which Ihev held long
spears upright, so motionless and im
moveable that it was only after the
closest scrutiny that they were recog
nized as of real flesh and blood. These
guards were relieved from duty every
two ledirs bv two others who were the
exact counterparts of the preceding
ones. The stillness of a death chamber
prevailed, save when some poor peni
tent souls, overburdened with grief,
gave vent to their feelings by audible
wails and moans. A feeling of contri
tion, devotion and awe, crept over the
throng, and became insepcrable from
the hour and the place, ami as our
American party emerged from the
sacred precincts, the iuizzing, saucy
eves of the younger ones were dimmed,
and the cliaperone, with reverent look,
carried not as she entered her "Baed
eker" prominently, but, almost unenn
scioiislV yielding'lo the spirit of the
place, liail stowed it away beneath the
folds of her mantle.
Feelings of interest us well as of curi
osity determined the trio of sight-seers
to do lis everv one seemed to be doing,
Hiid visit I".!:-- f "" churches as
practicable, and ere long at the Fraun
Kirche, in the subdued light, th'-re
wen; listening with though! fill f: s
nnd rapt attention to the ".Vt.wrrrr,"
w hich was very impressively sung by a
choir of altar Coys in the gallery. The
'youngest of the party, as her cameo
like face made a iignt nimmue against
the dark, massive carvings of tint wall
and the high-backed, aniiipu ly- arved
chair in which (die sat, with a ray of
light falling full upon her from a high-IvH-olored
window, and witi the won
drous niclodv tilling all nbout her,
M-cnicd the veritable St. Cecelia in
ectav.
Fiiilwig's Kirche was the next one
visited, "in the recess over the tomb
therein three hundred and eighty
lo-hts, set in shape of crowns, besides

At St. Boniface the grave wan tho
most elaborate of any of the ohurube.
It wassunuounwd witbbtU ot flowew,
tropicul plants, and a flowing fountain,
while far baek in the tomb lay an im
uge of Christ.
Ten churchj's were visited by our
party that day, in each of which wits
found mi elaborately prepared Holy
(Irave or "Ileilige "tit-aver," unit ail
impressive service with devout wor
shippers, devotees who, from early
morn till eve, with but slight intermis
sions, as they went from church to
church, knelt on cold stone flour with
out breaking theirfast.
The nct day had little to distinguish
it from other ilays save at nightfall, but
our party, interested with the scenes
of the previous day, planned another
tour of the churches.
Confessional boxes were nil filled
apparently, being closed, save one far
down the aisle. Into that our venture
some maiden sacrilegiously entered.

lor one to kneel bcsule a partition. A
small iron grating, about one font
sipiare, was inserted in the wall on
level Willi the penitents lace, when
kneeling. On exploration intent, tin
visitor knelt, to peer into the apart

At the Theatiner Kirche there Vas a
dungeon-like place, with an iron gate

was an image of the Virgin Mary and
Christ. The face of the Virgin vre a

to be, had been placed there by some
devotee. The face of the Christ im
age was so disligurcd uud alnhist de
void of paint, that it was simply hide

iron gait) opening into a cell dark V
night. Jt Is supposed thai all souls iNciuMiundH

there, w ith their faces pressed close to
the iron jfii mid with tears streiiining
troiu their eves, nraved fervent It
the souls of friends of whom they ha
been recently bereaved. One poor old

and ligui'o jircssive of the deepest
suffering, niWucd continuously, until
our St. Cecelia dropped several coins
into her hoary palm, when the poor
creature's gratitude became as out
spoken ns the gift was unexpected.
Following the benefactor upon her
knees, she, in her curious jmloin, reite-

could earn, did not enable her to pay
for masses for the repose, of his soul,
ltadianlly she exelainud: "1 have
enough, .sAV' will be saved; I shall say
a prayer for you many limes."
The aelive duties 'of the day being
concluded, the people, as with one eon
sent, turned their thoughts to the one
greai coutiiig evening event of the
evening -the lteMirrectinii, not a single
one in" some chosen, highly favored
tomb, but, as the attending Italian
Count e.xprwiU il; .'.'Thc.y will have
resurrections all over town to-night."
At tho Court Chapel there was a
procession in which the King appeared.
A dense crowd waited for over four
hours. Carriage alter carriage rolled
up to the gateway, and deposited the
nobility who were to occupy the gal
leries. At length music was heard,
and through a window in the passage.
Jiwtween the palace and chapel, me

gorgeous embroidered robes. '1 hey

there, none save the mjal family or

privileged to know.
Alter a time the people passed out.

away. Those, who then secured n
glimpse of the interior, saw that nil

The following morning the sun rose
bright and beautiful, but already the
churches were radiant with light.
Flowers, beaiileotis, fragrant, anil in
great profusion filled allal'-plaee and

and happy

lh Different lilnilsnf Laborers Employed
In "Pii factories,"
While a certain proportion of skilled
labor is required the majority of tho
hands" employed in aoda waterestab
lishmcnls come, as a rule, from the
bottom strata of tho laboring classes.
Of late years machinery and the gen
eral use of siphons, so far as city trade
is concerned, has so simplified (he
work of manufacture that very little
cxperienci) at tho work w ill make a
person tolerably proficient. Neverthe
less there is a large clement of danger
In the employment, and to a green
hand not a little bodily imin. ii-pite
tho multiplicity of "fountains" in
drug stores, refreshment shops and on
the si reel corners, a vast amount of
tho soda water consumed every day i
sent from the factories hi bottles, am
it is surprising to learn through how
many dillerent hands a bottle of soil
water has to pass before it is ready fur
the consumer. Whether an emplv bot

it rapidly and thoroughly. The wash
cis iion I know wiial it is lo have on
dry clonics while at work, ihev rig
themselves out in casl-oll' garments
and splash arouiul all day until they
are as wet as so many wharf rals.
Alter t Iter urn dried (lie bottles are
stacked iilfrales and carried oil' to the
"tiller." Jf intended for lemonade
or lemon soda they go first to another
squad of men, who dip in the required
amount ol syrup with a ladle. In hot

HASTY JUDGMENTS.
Why Lire Should Neil Ha .Indited from Mo-liii-ul
lo M allien t.
Science is continually discovering
the unsuspected uses of common things;
noxious weeds and plants which have
long been regarded ns pi sis and nui
sances by the gardener nnd the farmer,
studied more closely, reveal the juost
benclieetit qualities. 1 1 has been re
cently discovered, for instance, that the
Canada thistle, uie of the most stub
born and exasperating of all the farm
er's foes, can be manufactured into a
fabric of most serviceable quality.
This is only fine illustration out of a
thousand w hich make clear man's ig
norance of the real uses of the things
