why do we Have Eggs at Easter

Easter is observed among all Chris
tian people as the anniversary of the
great event OF the resurrection Of
Christ. He was dead, but returned to
life. The egg is taken rs emblematic
of return to life. 1t is TO all appear
ance dead, but we know that If placed
under proper conditions, life will come
forth from it, The use of eggs at Easter
was adopted from an usage older than
our era. 1t was the custom in very
early times to celebrate the return Of
spring by making presents of eggs.
"Why does not Easter always fall
upon fixed day? Christmas is always
on December 18th, why should not
Easter be fixed with equal certainty"
Easter must always be on Sunday. 1t
is not particular date that is observed,
but particular Sunday. How to de-
eide upon the Sunday, gave the very
early churches much trouble, and there
were differences on that account, but
the matter was settled at council held
at Nice, in the year 1875. The rule was
adopted that: Easter day is always
the first Sunday after the full moon,
which happens upon or next after
March 2lst, and if the full moon hap.
pens Oh Sunday, Easter day is the
next Sunday after. This gives Easter
day wide range Of dates, as it may oc-
cur OH any Sunday from March 22nd 10
April. 25th.

markable recovery of Mr.. j. Z. Corley,

Sensible Advice.

General Master Workman Powderiy
has issued secret circular to the
Knights Of Labor, which has just been
mace public. Mr.. Powderly instructs
the secretary of each assembly to call
full meeting. and read before il the SEN
timents which follow. The address
opens as follows: "1o attempt to win
concessions or gains with our present
raw, undiciplined membership would
be like hurting an undisciplined mob
against well-drilled regular army. 1t
is not fair TO the older assemblies to
bring in new members, pick up their
ouarrels as soon as organized, and have
.hem expect peeuniary aid from those
who helped build the order up for a
noble purpose" The address contin-
mes: awe must not lritter away our
strength, and miss the opportunity OF
present success in the struggle against
capital, by rushing into useless strikes.
To the cardinal principles of the order
we must add another-patience. Your
scales of prices must stand as they are
for the present, if you cannot raise them
by any other process than a strike.
Find out how much you are justly en-
titled to, aud then the tribunal of arbi-
traton will settle the rest" Mr.. Pow
derby warns the Knights of Labor that
the politician is planning how to catch
Knights OF Labor for the advantages of
himself and party, and adds that to use
the name of the order in political con-
test is criminal, and must not occur.

A Dogs Deadly Bite.

A dispatch from Newark, n. j., dated
March goth, says: George w. Neal lies
chained to bed in his home, 462 Broad
street, suffering from hydrophobia. Neal
was one of the keepers of the dog pond,
which was opened here in December
last after the children had been bitten by
dog in the Fifth ward. On January 10
Neal was in the pond tying up some dogs
when small white Spitz suddenly
sprang at him and fastened its teeth
twice in rapid succession in the back OF
Meals left wrist. Blood flowed pro-
fusely and Neal, after washing the
wound, had it bandaged.
Neal continued in the discharge of his
duties until Thursday last, when he
complained of pain in the wounded
wrist. This increased in violence and
extended up the arm to the back of the
neck and base of the brain. Becoming
alarmed, Mrs. Neal summoned physi-
clan, who prescribed some remedies. On
Saturday morning Neal became much
worse aud DIR. Bradin was called. This
morning the first paroxysm developed.
DIR. Bradin administered hyPodermic
injections. Shortly after noon, how
ever, there was another paroxysm, fol-
lowed by others every few minutes. 1t
was while these were at their height
that Neal rose from the bed and drove
every one from the room except his
wife. The police ambulance was called.
but on the arrival of the officers Neal
became quiet and positively refused 10
60 to hospital. The officers, however,
handcuffed him and fastened him Sc
curely to the bed" Neal died next day.

Very Remarkable Recovery.

Mr.. George V. willing, of Manches-
ter, Mich, writes: "My wife has been
almost hel piess for five years, so help
less that she could not turn over in bed
alone. She use1 two Bottles Of Elec-
trio Btters, and is so much improved
that she is able now 10 do her own

can hold an appointive Office under a

such from forfeiting their self-respect
or sacrificing their convictions by
promptly turning them out.
