longer keep watch all night for the monks
to hold up to them each Easter morn the
image of Christ risen once more. The Lords
second coming is no longer assured for
Easter eve. The rising son on Easter morn
still typifies the Son of Righteousness. and
the close of Lent--or the death of winter
still typifies the defeat of the grave. yet
even the children of today no longer rise at

which writers of less than century ago
soberly argued was without foundation
and the great bonfires which for many
years represented the ancient paschal ia

modern thought.
THE EASTER EGG.
Almost the only thing left us is the
paschal egg-the emblem of the resurrec-

The old German custom of three eggs (pos-
sibly representing the Trinity, and the Aus
trian egg of gold or silver filed with costly
knick knaclls, and the dyed egg of the Door

the paschal egg, that was handed down
from the Egyptians, and ages before the

IN A FRENCH COURT.

The Panama Prisoners Before the High
Chamber of Appeals.
The French high court before which
Charles de Lesseps and NJ. Eiffel, were
tried is in the new Palais de Justice, on
the banks of the Seine. and is very
magnificent with rich panelings and
paintings.
All the prepara ton of case in
France is done before it is brought
into open court. so AIT the judge is in
full possession of the prisoners testi-
mony. which has been wrong out of
him by the judge of instruction weeks
before hand. in his stuffy little ca binet.
He proceeds coolly to review this
testimony, crosse xa mining the prison
er pointing out what he has already
said enlarging upon incidents in his
past career, endeavoring. in short in
every possible way tn trip and entrap
aim.
The magistrate is usually assisted
by two others. and sometimes by four.
but these take no part in the tNamina-
ton. They have consultative voice in
the fixing of the sentence.
All the lawyers. as well as the
Judges wear robes. and that of the
advocates j. rather absurd. But they
have not retained the idiotic wig.
which il such a curiosity to Americans
who visit an English court.
The prisoner is kept waiting. before
and after trial. in d small and almost
airle>S cell. and frequently passes the
whole day without rcfreshmeut-
The French still have the barbarous
theory that rough usage Will make
prisoners tell more than can be got
from them by kindly treatment.

cedurc of piiing heavy stones on the

Bait Iu Angling

scientific paper tells of a new fish
ing device whereby the minnow used
for bait in angling for large fish is
kept alive and safe from the predatory
denizens of the deep. who strike at it
but catch hooks instead. 1t is inca sed
in glass tube. through which tho
water circulates freely. The appIica-
ton is new. but the idea of carrying
bait in a bottle is as old as angling is.
There is one improvement to De noted
however, as under the old plan the
bait was sure to- give out sooner or
later, depending on the size of tho
bottle and the ardor of the fisherman.

Mr.. Jones is of Lynn.
After months of thought he went
into the hen industry on a small scale
He secured a batch of chicks from
Mr.. Smith, and then asked the ages of
the various members of his new family.
Smith admitted that one of them was
peculiarly old.
Il bought her three years ago" he
said. land she was old then"
Jones kept hens until he was tired.
The most venerable of the lot was al
ways too old to kill but never an
egg did She release. Jones sold his
brood. he venerable one and all, to
Mr.. Alley.
Jones wife wanted fowl the other
day for a fricasSe. The butcher was
appealed to. He didn't have fowl,
but he would get one. He did. Jones
wife boiled it for four hours, but it
was not eata BILE. Jones suggested
that she reboil it the same afternoon.
and she did. hut the fowl was still far
from tender. The next day she boiled
it some more. and it remained UNI
palata BILE. 1t had to be thrown away.
Where did You get that fowi:''
asked Jones of the butcher.
Bought it from Alley" answered
the man of meat He said he would
give me a fresh one
Il thought so" said Jones who had
reached the conclusion-and was right
that he had paid a dollar for the in
firm hen that he had been glad to sell
to Alley for twenty-five cents.
