district in Bradford county some time
ago were sold at public auction yester-
day by Revenue Cillector Grant Her

Failure to label or place revenue

that the state authorities would inter-
fere with its sale by the revenue off,

LABRADOR ICEBERGS.
Seen by Moonlight and in the Flash of
the Aurora Boreaiis.

Seen by Moonlight and in the Flash OF
the Aurora Borealis.
The ''iron-bound" coast of Labrador
is guarded by groups Of islands-bar-
rem, hopeless and forlorn-looking rocks,
all the more desolate in appearance for
the miserable fishing huts or ''tilts"
that have been thrown together on
them. Entering through some narrow
passage between these islands, the
steamer anchors for the night in a
rock-bound basin; for it is too danger
GUS work to navigate the Labrador
waters after dark. The narrow pas
sages between the islands, both along
the Labrador and in the Newfoundland
bays, are called 'tticl1les," and aptly so,
for it seems as if the sea had reached
out foamy fingers and tickled the
rocky ribs OF the coast until it splits its
sides with grim, stormy laughter.
One evening, writes Gustav Kobbe in
St. Nicholas, we found one of these
ticlzles nearly blocked by a huge ice
berg which had drifted into it and
grounded. We passed near enough to
feel its chilling breath, and to have
thrown a biscuit on it, as the sailors
say. We had hardly anchored in the
rapid succession, like the firing of field
artillery. Looking IN the direction
from which they came, we saw above
the heights that surrounded the basin
the peak Of the iceberg swaying slowly
and majestically to and fro, and finally
disappearing, peak of different shape
rising up from behind the height and
taking it's place.
They say that an avalanche is some
times SO dehcately poised that the vi
brations from a shout or a handicap
will start it on it's destructive course,
and possibly the wash from our steamer
had disturbed the iceberg's equilibrium.
At night the moon rose and the north
ern lights throbbed in the sky; so that
the iceberg's peak was at times bathed
in silver, at times In clear translucent
crimson It isn't often you find a com
bination Of iceberg, moonlight and
northern lights; and feeling that I
might never again behold such an ex-
quisite scene. remained Tor hours on
deck watching it.

Easter Eggs.

But few people have any idea that
the originals of the many colored
''eggs' which are distributed as Easter
gifts have probably descended to us
from the greatest of the t'Chinese spring
festivals and can boast of an antiquity
of more than 700 years before the Chris
tian era. So there appears to be no new
thing under the sun, and although the
magic eggs of today are merely recep-
tacles for nondescript medley Of bon
bons and bi-outerie, they are a survival,
or rather revival, of one of the quaint
est of old world customs.
This practical method of disposing Of
Easter eggs suggests that much of the
ceremony connected with them is due
to the celebration of the Easter feast,
which succeeds the Lenten fast. That
ian egg at Easter is a very old proverb
in this country is sufficiently shown by
the fact that the pope sent Henry VIII
an Easter egg in silver case, while an
extract schedule Of the personal expenses
of Edward l contains, against Easter
Sunday, the suggestive item: -Four
hundred and half eggs, Is. Cd. The
price is as noteworthy as the number.
But the most remarkable feature Of
the usage is its international character.
Thus in Russia it is customary to ex-
change visits and eggs on Easter day
and ''to drink deal of brandy" Again,
in Italy dishes of eggs are sent to the
priests to be blessed, after which they
are carried home and placed in the cen
ter of the table. 1t is the correct thing
for all the guests to eat one of them.
