The Navy Department has informed Rear
Admiral Bunce, commanding the North At
lantic station, that it proposes, If practic-
able, not to interfere in any manner with
the movements and exercises or his squad
| ron during the present season.
With this view Secretary Herbert has
| been obliged to decline the numerous re-
quests he has received for ships to visit
| certain places and take part in local cele'
| bration and festivities.
The fleet will cruise at sea between
Nantucket and the Capes of the Chesapeake.
! 1t will leave New York about July 10
provided its duties with the naval militia
are then completed; will cruise to t he south
| ward and enter Hampton Roads: thence to
the northward to Gardeners Bay, Fishers
Island, Nantucket Island and back to Hamp-
ton Roads-early in October.
The maneuvers will consist OF the va
rious squadron movements and formations
necessary for fleets aud squadrons in time
or war; anchoriDg and getting under way
under different circumstances, signalling,
target practice with main aud secondary
batteries and small arms; landing the naval
brigade and boat drills and torpedo boat
attacks.

About Easter time hares are almost
as common as eggs in the shop win
dows. and many boys and girls may
wonder why this is so. 1t is plain why
the egg should be used. The life which
comes. after so long time. from the
lifeless-looking egg. makes it especially
typical Of the resurrection. It is not
50 clear what the hare has to do with
Easter Sunday.
Easter is a feast regulated by the
moon. That Is. it Is appointed by the
church that Easter should fall upon
the first Sunday after the first full moon
which fell upon or after the vernal
equinox" Now. the hare is the animal
which the ancients considered sacred 70
the moon. and proper to be used at all
feasts regulated by the moon.
So among the old customs which have
been handed down to us from the old.
old days Il that which still uses the hare
a we'll a. the egg in the pretty fanci-
ful decorations suitable for our great
spring festival.-Easter Sunday.
