At this season. when the egg is Il

the custom in German families on EaS

sugar eggs among dried caves in the
garden allowing happy children to en-
joy an egg hunt on Easter morning.
one reason given for the Easter egg
is that in the fourth century the
church forbade the use of eggs in
Lent, but as this did not prevent the
hens from layin" them they arrum

4 Curious Magnet.

The largest and strongest magnet in
the world is at Willet's Point. n Y.
and was made by accident. This is
the account given:
Major King happened to sec two
large tifteen-inch Dahlgrcn guns lyin"
unused side by side on the dock. and
immediately conceived the idea that Il
magnet of enormous power could Gc
constructed by means of these cannon
with Il submarine cable wound around
them. The magnet. which stands
teen feet long and has eight miles of
cable wound about the upper part Of
the guns. 1t takes force of oJ,0OO
pounds to pull off the arma TIRE
"A seemingly impossible experiment
was performed with some tif1ccn-inch
solid cannon balls. the magnet hold
ing several of them suspended in the
air, one under the other. The most
interesting experiment was the test
made of Il non-magnetic watch The
test was highly satisfactory. The mag
net was so powerful that an ordinary
watch was stopped stock still as soon
as it came within three feet of ii. while
an American nOn-magnctic watch WAS
for ten minutes held in front of the
magnet and it did not vary the hun
dredth part of a second. A Slcdgt
hammer welded in direction oppc-
site to the magnet feels as though one
were trying to hit blow with Il long
feather in Il gale of wind"

The Old SDitc Lane.

a narrow space between each fence where
nothing grows but flowers.
The relic of silly feud that smouldered
many years,
That caused harsh words between the men,

We children keep the quarrel not, although
the mark is plain,
For there between our meadows green still
runs the old Spite Lane.
Sometimes when father sits about, at peace

And how much nicer it would be ifneghbors

An lniayOrablc Time.

The strlk" of the coal miners which

As unwleldy AS that aW kward weapon,
the boomerang, when in unskillful
hands. Closing the mines at the pres
ent time is boon for which many
operators have prayed. Again, the
strike has been made general, and as Il
result there is not. as has before been the
case, one section in which the working
miners are furnishing revenue to keep
the others idle. This present strike
takes the majority out of employment,
aud as a result the mine workers treas.
ury will be quickly exhausted. 1t is
wholly improbable that their demands
for an advance IN wages, in the face Of
of the usual summer depression, will
be complied with. a few operators
having important contracts on hand
will probably give in, but the ma jority
can afford to wait their time. With
the United Mine Workers this Is their
effort. and they must make or break
To fail, means the decentralization of
their order. On the other hand. to
succeed will be paving the way to all
manner OF unreasonable demands.
1t is rather a peculiar condition of

hundred thousand men refuse to work
because they want what, under exist

miles over muddy roads to pray the

industrial" army marches proudly by
mines and works standing idle for
want OF laborers. Perhaps a large
part of this army of tramps would
