EASTERTIDE

Since the year A. D., 325. by
decree of the Council of Nice,
Easter has come on the first
Sunday after the full moon next after
March 21. The date is arbitrary-any
other date would make the festival
just sas commemorative, but the
spring time makes the symbolism of
the risen Christ all the more fitting and
appealing. Easter could occur on
March 22, its earliest possible date
This year the full moon closest to
March 2l occurred on Tuesday, April
IL, and the Sunday following, 18th, was
the date of Easter for 1892.
The use of eggs at Easter has been
traced to the theology Of the Egyptians,
Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Rom ans,
among all of whom the egg was the
symbol of the universe. The Persians
gave presents of eggs at the vernal
equinox. feast in honor of the renew.
al of things. The Egyptians, Hebrews
and Drulds all used it in their ceremo.
MES for like symbol.
1t was natural for the Christians tC
follow custom so significant, and in
all countries now eggs ara sent as
tokens at this time, and play large
part in the sentiment and pastime OF
the Easter festival.

Burlington Hawkeye: Among the
Iowa congressman who tell victims to
the Republican landslide in 1890 was
that excellent mar, Hon. John +. Lacey,
of OskaloOsa. He had been elected to
congress in 1883, defeating Gen. Weaver
by nearly 5000 plurality, and served
his term in the fifty. first congress with
great distinction. AS a prominent
member of the committee on elections
he established a reputation as a hard
and industrious worker and quick
and able debater, and as chairman of
the subcommittee sent to Arkansas to
investigate the Breckenridge case, he
showed rare good judgment and ability.
