Thieves secured 200 pounds of butter
from the Winchester creamery Friday
night. They entered through a window,
which was opened by boring hole through
the sash and sliding back the catch. The
thieves drove away in wagon and their
trail was followed as far as the Methodist
church. The creamery was robbed in a
similar manner last year and 200 pounds of
butter were taken at that time.

The first woman to enter the profession
OF pharmacy in our country was Mrs Jane
Loring of ofBoston, in 500. ; hc was grand
aunt OF the famous Congressman. Under
the old system there was no State sIlper-
vision OF the profession, and any one could
take ii up who desired without any legal
ImpediTnents.
Under this system over 200 women be-
came pharmacists. or late years, how
ever, there has been a profound change in
the Industry. Partly 10 prevent competi-
tion-or, rather, TO restrict it-partIy to
raise the professional standard, and partly
TO protect the public, colleges OF pharmacy
have been started in various places in the
country and laws passed requiring all cam
didates to pass examinations almost as
strict aud difficult as those laid down for
physicians and lawyers. The new system
has cut down the number OF candidates,
both male and female. In Massachusetts
not more than score Of women hive passed
the examination in the past fifteen years.
In New York the number is said to be
nearly fifty, and in the various States OF
tte Union the entire total is below 500.
Many marry and leave the calling; few
have retired, and n few have continued
their studies and have become physicians
or chemists. AT the present time the total
number OF women who practice pharmacy,
either as proprietors, clerks or appren-
ticeS, il estimated to be 100.

EASTER-EGG LORE.
Curious Customs the Origin of Which
Are Lost in Antiquity.

The distribution of eggs at Easter has
descended to us from the greatest OF the
Chinese spring festivals. inaugurated more
than seven hundred years before the Chris
tian era.
The custom was particularly popular
during the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turtles in England. The Pope sent Henry
VIII an Easter egg in silver case.
In Russia ii is common To exchange visits
and eggs on Easter Day.
In Italy dishes Of eggs are sent TO the
priests to be blessed, after which they are
carried home and placed in the center OF
the table.
In Spain and Germany the eggs are not
blessed, but they are highly colOred and
are distributed among callers TO be eaten
or taken away according 10 the taste OF
the Individual
The custom, in one form or another,
exists among the Jews, Greeks, Turks and
PersianS.
"Paas'' was the ancient name for Easter.
and the eggs We're often called pace"
'.pach,'' or "paas' eggs.
In Scotland eggs are taken TO church 10
be blessed. They are afterward dis
tributed among the members of the house
t.old and are either eaten or saved as keep
sakeS.
The decoration of ordinary eggs origi-
mated in England. Gliding the shells was
the first step. This was followed by the
addition OF ribbons. pictures aud various
other devices to please the lit tie folk.
These eggs were given and received with
the familiar Easter greeting. "Christ is
risen!' and the answer. He is risen, in
deedr'
Germans first introduced gaines into the
Easter celebration. Eggs were hidden
about the lawn or grounds or in the house.
Then the children hunted for them. the
finder OF the greatest number receiving
prize.
Sometimes the eggs were all put in one
nest over which a rabbit was placed on
guard How this animal became identified
with Easter is not known. but in time young
children began to believe that the colored
eggs were laid by the rabbit.
Egg racing is a favorite amusement of
Russian, German and French children. The
eggs are rolled down hill and the prize
goes to the boy whose egg rolls the greatest
number OF races without damage TO its shell.
This game is PLAYED by Washington chill
dren i'm rear of the White House on Easter
Monday
In Germany there are tracks made Of
twigs down which each egg may roll with
out Interference from any other one. The
boy whose egg arrives unbroken III the foot
OF the bill collects toll OF his opponent

Another game is played by two boys who
stand each holding an egg. and suddenly
strike them together. The owner OF the
heavy y-shcled egg can, If he possesses skill
break the eggs OF several pla yerS before his
owu is injured. Then he is a cock of one,
