In the ancient Indian legends,
In the songs and the traditions,
Learned from lake and rushing river,
Heard among the whisp ring pIne-treeS
Gathered from the hearts OF flowers,
From the pebbles on the Sea-shore,
From the marshy haunts of wild fowl,
Found in trails of lynx and bison,
In the antlers of the elk-deeT,
And the curious strings of wampun.

Symbols in Eggs.
The London Queen.

1H3 QUEEN.
1t Is well-knOwn fact that eggs have
| figured IN mythology, and have or have
had symbolical meaning in certain pa
gan systems. But it is quite true that
there is no traceable connection between
| them ard the eggs which are the subject
of this note, mere resem blances not be-
ing enough to prove identity OF origin.
AS for Easter eggs, the date of their in
PRODUCTION Is unknown, but the egg as a
symbol of hope was recognized by ST..
Augustine, and probably at a still earlier
| date. For our present purpose it will
suffice to note its association with sacred
seasons.
L. To this day the Jews at the Passover
introduce an egg as a symbol of their
bondage in Egypt and wonderful deliver
ance.
2. In the church there was festival
of eggs on the Saturday before the Shrove
Tuesday, but the meaning of this is
doubtful, though perhaps it can be ex
planned.
3. The Paschal or Easter egg was
blessed by the priests, and at the termin-
alton of the Lenten feast was, and per
haps III some places still is, desired as the
first food eaten after the conclusion of
Lent.
The second and third instances seem
to indicate that eggs were regarded as
proper for the transition from ordinary
food before Lent to its resumption after
Lent. 1t may, however, be stated that
the Paschal egg was ce rtainly regarded
as resurrection symbol, especially in
anticipation of the resurrection of the
Savior. This last point seems evident
from the form of blessing employed in
the Roman CathojIc Church, where the
words, son account of the resurrection of
our Lord Jesus Christ" are to be seen.
The statement of learned German
writer agrees with this, for he says:
"The egg as a symbol of the resurrection
of Jesus, who broke forth from the grave
as chicken from the shell, has been
from very ancient date an Easter gift
with Christians, who wish each other pros
perity at the resurrection OF the Savior"
The practice of dying Easter eggs is of
uncertain origin; but it is very widely ex
tended, and has been thought to be &C.
rived from the Jews, whose Passover &C.
ours ct the same time as our Easter.

ENGLISH IN INDIAN SCHOOLS.

WASHINGTON April 3.-President Cleve-
land has written long letter to Rev. ] as.
Morrow, D. D., of Philadelphia, in re-
Spouse to the resolutions adopted at the
session of the Philadelphia annual con-
ference of the Methodist church held
March Goth, of which the following is a
synopsis:
Ny DEAR SIR:-I have received certain
resolutions passed at the annual confer
ence held at Philadelphia. The action
taken py this assemblage of Christian
men has greatly surprised me. They de-
clare that this conference earnestly pro-
tests against the recent action of the gov
eminent in excluding the use of the ma
tive languages in the education of III
dams and especially the exclusions
of the Dakota bible; that
while admitting the advantages in teach
ing English to the Indians to compel
them to receive all religious instruction
in that language would practically hinder
their receiving it in the most effective
way. The line of power travels with the
human heart and the heart of the In
dian is in his language. That the opera
tious of all missionary societies should
be untrammeled by state interferences.
The president quotes the rules of the In
dian bureau upon the subject and con-
tinUes: The government seeks in the
management of the Indians to civiiize
and prepare them for that contact with
the world which necessarily accompanies
civilization. Nothing is more important
to the Indian from this point of view than
a knowledge of the English language.
Nothing can be more consistent than the
teaching of English in our Indian schools.
It will not do to permit these yards of
the nation TO become their own masters,
to indulge in their barbarous language,
because it is easier or because 1T pleases
them. Similar teaching Is the object of
the ordinary government schools, but
surely there can be no objection to read
ing cha pier in the Bible, In English or
in Dakota, if the English could not be
understood, at the daily opening OF the
schools. The use of the vernacular
should not be encouraged or continued
beyond the limit of such necessity; and
''the text books the "OraI instruction"
in the general sense and the curriculum
certainly should be in English. The
rules of the Indian bul eau have
been modified and changed in their
phraseology to meet the view of good
men who seek TO aid the government in
its benevolent intention until it was sup
posed their meaning was quite plain and
their purpose satisfactory. These rules
will be adhered to and the government
will continue to invoke the assistance of
all Christian people and organizations in
this very important and interesting part
of the labor entrusted to it.

1t costs less to stock farm with sheep
| than any other kind of stock. No gen
eral farmer wants to buy high priced
pure breeds TO begin with. They don't
pay, especially the imported stock.
They universally dete riorate in the coun-
try, no matter how carefully they are
managed or how expert the breeder may
| be. 1t Is. therefore, best to start with
our native sheep, getting high grades Of
whatever breed is preferred. Of the pure
breeds the American Merino is undoubt-
edly the hardest, and i'll the long run
will pay as well as any other, and they
have been bred up till they are not a bad
mutton sheep. But the PLAN we think
preferable, is to select good, common
ewes from fOcks about through the coun-
try, getting them from two to five years
old. Then buy pure bred buck for
cross, and never use anything but pure
bred male, no matter what the stock.
With nice lot OF common ewes for
foundation stock, bred continually to a
pure blood buck, it does not take very
many years to build up a fine stock of
healthy, vigorous sheep that will yield
handsome profits in both flesh and fleece.
We tried for several years to keep up
flock of pure bred CotswoIds or rather to
improve them, and used imported bucks,
and some of the best bred animals that
could be found in the country, but the
general tendency of the flock was down
ward in spite of all our efforts, and they
were disposed of. Unless we breed sheep
for purely stock purposes we don't want
anything better than high grades and as
fast as sheep multiply it only takes few
years to shape up flock as desired. The
numerous different breeds of sheep now
raised in this country are certainly suf-
ticienr TO fully satisfy the adverse tastes
Of all fook masters, and furnish adapta-
ton to to all the different localities where
sheep can be grown.
