Meaning Of the Easter Egg.

AS Easter represents n new birth into
the best life of all, IL is easily seen how
tho pagan idea that the egg was tho
beginning of all kinds of life should
become purified in tho minds of the
Christians, and accepted as the typical
Offering of good wishes and emblem
attic ofpleasant hopes between believers
of the glad Easter day. The egg in
some form or other has been the un-
questioned type of tho new life from
the very dawn of the Christian ora.
In Russia as early rs 1888 eggs col.
ored red, typifying the blood of Christ
shcd as an ntonement for our sins,
were the most treasured of exchanges
of Easter. Every believer went abroad
at this season with his pockets we'll
supplied with Easter eggs. as the
society man of to-day attends to his
well filled card case. When two Rus
SLAMS met for the first time during tho
Easter holidays, if they had not met
on the day itself, the bolatcd Easter
compliments were passed. first by
solemnly shaking hands in silence;
then the elder Tor the younger. if he
outranked the elder would say, "Tho
Lord is risen," and his companion
would reply, at is true;" then they
kissed each other and ceremoniously
drew from their respective pockets the
Easter emblem, and exchanged eggs.
Tho Syrians believed also that the
gods from whom they claimed descent
were hatched from mysteriously laid
eggs. Hence we infer that our present
custom OF Offering the Easter egg en-.
blem has the heather legends for its
origin; in fact, all our most precious
festivals como down from similar
sources. but purified with the light of
Christianity. --Chautauquian.

A Belgian Easter Tradition.

The offering OF the Easte: egg is
also an ancient and popul-r tradition
of the Belgians. 1t is customary there
every Sunday for the young men to
exchange boquets OF flowers with
their fiancees, but at Easter time these
gifts are varied by eggs colored and
having inscriptions on them similar to
the poetical lines one finds Ia cheap
holiday confectionery. Among the
Weather classes in Belgium, as in
Paris, eggs adorned with beautiful
miniature portraits were exchanged.
Flemish chronicles relate that under
the reign of Maria Christina Easter
eggs to the value of twenty francs
were often distributed.
This expensive adorning of the
Easter egg has lost its popularity, and
to-day the eggs in general are simply
colored by boiling or staining. They
also are to be given and exchanged by
adulta, but arc colored for childrep's 3
amuncment aad pleasure.

decrease in cost, within comparatively
few years, is cited as marked ndica-
ton of the great progress in mcchani-
cal methods and improvements in rock
excavating tools. A still more strik-

railroad, in the United States. This,

so that it took months to convey the
machinery to the spot. Rivers had to
be turned aside, bridges built and
material transported over improvised
roads through nearly 100 miles of
forest, mud and snowlields, yet the

feet wide, twenty-five feet high, and
$3.50 feet long, was bored through the
mountain in twenty-five months, at
the rate of Alb feet month. and at II

During 1896 the United Kingdom
purchased on this country 1880
horses compared with only 10, 35l in
1898. England bought nearly 1900
horses in Canada, or no increase over
year previous. Total imports of
horses into the United Kingdom in
1896 wcro 40,677, an increase of
nearly 1000 compared with tho pre-
vious year. Tho average value of
horses shipped into the United King
dom last year from the United States

horse industry, especially that part of

The MOravian Way OF G. Celebrating Easter

One of the most significant and pic
turesque celebrations OF Easter is that
of tho Moravian Christians, of whom
there are many congregations in the
United States. At Bethlehem. Penn,
and other towns where Moravians
abound some musicians with brass in.
struments go at earliest dawn to the
roof of the church and play music
siRnifying the calling forth Of the
dead. The people Immediately flock
to the church ana begin the service of
the day, most of it being musical. At
given signal the entire congregation
rise, and. preceded by the ministers
and trumpeters, leave the church and
march to the cemetery. In Moravian
cemeteries all the gravestones are
alike-small, fat slabs laid upon the
graves, "for," say the simple. literal
people. "in the grave all men are
equal" The procedure OF the service
is so timed that the musico.prayerful
rejoicing reaches its highest expression
Just as the sun rises.

Early as Marien Plnntagenet rose
from her downy pillow the next morn
ing, Eunice Perry was earlier still.
The morning services in tho dimly-
lighted church were very dear to her.
They seemed to shield and shelter her
from all the pricks aud arrows OF tho
day, and up to this time sho had not
missed ono.
She lighted the fire, put over the
colfee-pot for her old aunt's breakfast,
tidied up the room, and before she
went out, sprinkled n little water over
the magnificent Gala lilies that were
unrolling their superb scrolls OF white
velvet in the windows that frontod to
the east.
"rhere will be thirteen, said she,
to herself, her cheeks flushing with
natural pride. "Thirteeni l didn't

Marien opened the door, and came
in without the preliminary ceremony

"Is Miss Perry at honor" said she.
