has been the symbol of spring, and its position
seems to be all the more assured with each sue
ceeding year. The jews used eggs in the feast
of the Passover, before the Persians used
them in the celebration of the solar
new year in March, and in more recent times the
pagans of Germany offered eggs at the shrine OF
the goddess Ostara or Eastre, from whom the
word Easter is derived. Before the Christian
era the use of the egg was symbolic OF the re-
viviication of nature, the springing forth of new
life in the spring When the ancient fathers in
their work Of conversion turned the heather
celebration into Christian festival, as they did
with so many others, Easter was made en-
b,ematlc OF the resurrection and the future life
The Easter egg was known as the Pasch egg
at first then as the Pace egg and finally as the
Easter egg Through all Europe the same term
was used. With the French it was Paques with
the Scotch Pasch, with the Dutch Paschen, with
the Danes Paaske, and with the Swedes Pask
Records of the early ceremonies contain allu-
sions to the eolored eggs exchanged and given
as presents on Easter Sunday. In the days Of
Edward l the English people were taxed Is
pence to pay for their sovefeign's Easter gifts
but for that sum he got 400 eggs, colored and
ornamented Eggs were cheaper in those days
than these,
Within the last hundred years the current
literature of date preceding Easter always con-
tanned instruction for the preparation of the
egg. An old striped stocking, gone beyond all
usefulness as footgear, was recommended as a
good article for coloring, and the more varie-
gated the pattern the better. Onion skins and
SCOT, cochlneal and score of other articles
within reach of the average housewife were
recommended and We're used. In these times
the homely old methods to which doubts of
their taking" added charm, have beer dis
pensed with and in their place the neat little
packets of dyes sold by any druggist for this
particular purpose. They produce better colors.
but who believes they afford as much pleasuref
The home made Easter egg has formidable
rival in the manufactured article, turned out by
the hundreds in more or less artistic shape by
scores of establishments .Fhe jewellers and
the stationers display on their counters eggs of
all kinds Real eggs, paste board eggs metal eggs,
painted and engraved. hinged cracked and in
pieces. Over them all the cunning of the
artists brush has beck spread, and they are
really thing of beauty. There they end for
they are much too frail to be a joy forever. The

the egg. as rule, bear an egg or, going step
forward. chicken in some shape or other. The
remarkable thing this year is that there are
really few rew designs in Easter cards Two
years ago the chicken was the rage, and cocks.
hens and peeps were the rage, but the fancy of
the people has rather turned back to the egg
and the egg is in the advance again.
