Somehow the conditions have been snob, as Is quite unusual at this date, as not to demand a change from winter to summer clothing, axoept In a limited way. The weather has been more potent than a change of season along this line. The very heavy rains Wednesday, and since, till Saturday evening, gave the planting Interests another big set back.

Chickens anc' gardens are very backward, 0 and unless there Is a rapid improvement lu these summer essentials, times will be hard. THE BOW IN THE CLOUD. Personal Paragraphs and Oilier Uood Things.

FEAST OF THE PASSOYER. This Interesting and Important Period In tbe Jewish Year Is Now Begun nud Continues Until Friday. The Jewish Passover, which beean Friday, night at sunset, will continue seven days, or until next Friday at sunset. Friday night the Seder service was held In the home of every good Jew and tbe history of the chosen people was retold. Passover week, as does every other Jewish observance, commemorates rome particular portion of Biblical history that has especial bearing on fhe Hebrews. The feast commemorates the killing of the first born In every Egyptian household. It was directly after tbe seven plagues, bo Biblical history runs, that tbe Jews were told to beep a lamb, which was a semi-deity to tbe Egyptians, in their houses for several days, to demonstrate tbe contempt with which they regarded the false god, and then kill the animal, smearing tbe blood on their door posts. iv-That night the aDgel of death killed tbe first born in all households that did not have tbe blood on tbe door post. This blood was tbe ign of a Jewish residence aDd tbe angel waB to "p&88 over" all such. It was in (this manner tbat tbe first born was spared to tbe Jews. After tbe service at tbe synagogue Friday night, wbleh was the same as 1b oonducted every Friday night, tbe Seder service was held in all IJewlsh homes. This consisted flrstofa feast, where tbe table was immaoulate in its cleanliness, and on everv table was tbesbank of a lamb, which represented the kiiliqg of the Egyptian serai-deity. Bitter herbs were eaten in commemoration of the hardships placed npon tbe Jews by tbe Egyptians and in memory of the bitterness of thelr'oaptlvlty.. Another dish, made of frnita shopped op very Unh and made to look like Urartar, bat tasting very much better, was jBJtten in memory of the work done by the I) m Duuuagu. led bread, wjll be aubstlt (or tbe ordinary bread, ity departure of tbe Jews lIbo requires a word ol tbe Jews left Egypt tbelr urrled tbat tbe bread, ously prepared, had not s, and tbey were forced aB It was, baking it in iys of Passover week are iwn and will be observed The service for the last next Thursday or Frlirst day waa celebrated 9 Friday night. blch has already been of the people from tbe Some end tbe history of tbe erMtfon of tbe fog tbe hli&ofr to tbe ver is oDe of the most t Different Member* of Prof. William /: Hfted'a faM.Uy-A L.arjfe Sumner who. ore Healthy, jjp, Happy and-Hopeful. : Traf.
