EasterEoo Lore.

1~StSt ESS eOtSs
 The distribution of eggs at Easter has decended to us frem the greatest of the Chinese spring festivals, inaugu UT, ated more than seven hundred years before the Christian era. l The custom was particularly popular during the fifteenth and sixteenth cen turies in England. The Pope sent Henry VIII an Easter egg in silver case.
 In Russia it is common to exchange visits and eggs on Easter Day.
 h 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 colorea and distributed among callers to be eaten or taken away according to the taste of the individual.
 The custom in one form or another, exists among the Jews, Greeks. Turks, and Persians.
 Pass was the ancient name for Easter, and the eggs were often called ''pace. 'pach, or pass eggs.
 tn Scotland eggs ere taken to church to be blessed. They are eafterl7srd dis tlibuted among the members of the household and are either eaten or saved as keepsakes.
 The decoration of ordinary eggs orig mated in England. Gliding the shells was the first step. This was followed by the addition of ribbons, pictures, various other devises to please the little folk.
 These eggs were given and received with the familiar Easter greeting, Christ is risen!" and the answer. He is risen indeedlp
 Germans first introduced games 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 bv tha ,-ahnite
 Egg racing is 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 it shell.
 This game is played by Washington children in rear of White House on Easter Monday.
 In Germany there are tracks made of twigs down which each egg may roll without interference from any otiisr one. The boy whose egg arrived pn- broken at the foot Of the hill collects stoll' of bis opponent whose egg ia cracked.
 Another game is played by two boys who stand, each holding an egg, and suddenly strike them together. The owner of the heavy-shelled egg can, if he possesses skill, break the eggs of several players before his own is injured. Than he has a "cock of one, two, three or four eggs" as the case may be.
 Eggs are colored by means of the aniline dyes. By the addition ofhorns, ears, tails, legs or fins eggs may be transformed into many grotesque figures.

AmarIcan sscurItles Abroad.

The sales of American securities have been, according to London advices, very large abroad of late. If this state of things holds, there will be an in- creasing influx of British gold into this market. This demonstrates the faith abroad in the stability of our credit. There is another point of faith for which the people not only of this but foreign countries have good grounds for credence, end that is belief in the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for inorganic maladieswhieh affect the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys and nerves.

lettsrs from Rev. IT. whittemore.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25, 1S9S.- FRIEND REprY: have just come from the Wellington, and had an interview with Hon. u. A. Smith. l called at the House this evening and finding that he had not been there, l feared that he was sick. But it is Mrs. Smith this time who has an attack of pneu- monia, and under the doctors care with trained nurse. It is sincerely to be hoped that she may recover soon.
 The talk with Mark was quite en- couraging and corrective from the view that l had taken. Supposing from what I had heard, that the joint com mittee were to meet at 10 a. m. to-day, l was on hand at the room of the com nittee on Indian affairs and waited un- til nearly l2. Although a committee had l5 or 20 Indians on their hands, found it was not the one had sup posed. Mark Smith informed me that the joint committee will meet from day to day during next week and may de- eide to recede from the amendment, striking out our clause-if so, it goes back to its plaee iu the bill and will earry. He feels quite sure that Senator Coellrill win stand true to his promise, and as his vote will carry majority we shall gain our point.
 It requires patience and watchful- ness and perseverance, but it is those who patiently wait and work win at last. Senator Cockrill is an honest Democrat who has the courage of his convictions, and Mark is man of tal- ent who carries much weight.
 The Cuban crisis is nigh, and whether Spain resents it or not, the starving thousands on the island must be fed and that by our government, even if it precipitates war. Senator Thurston's ringing speech yesterday won crowded house and intensified the feel ing in favor of the United States feed ing the hungry end starving at any cost. The report of the committee, so eagerly looked for, was placed in the hands of the President this morning and will be made public next week, and the tocsin of war may sound at any time after that, as Congress stands ready to back him in any recommenda- tion he may make.

"DEsTRUcTIoo OF BLACK ROT BY CAL
CUM CARBIDE"
One of the greatest among the
numerous maladies from which the
vine suffers is labck-rot. Happily,
remedies of more or less efficacy
have been found for most of them !;
remedies which at least ameliorate the
disease, and frequently save the vine
yard from otherwise certain destruction.
M. M. Rodier has just made public a
fact which has been carefully guarded,
and which experience conducted last
September among the vineyards pro-
ducing some of the best known white
wines, have made certain. The young
and still green punches Of grapes at

with powdered Carbide Calcium. A few
days later the coating of lime left after
the disengagement Of acetyline, was
brushed off and all thee spoors of the

ments will be continued during the next
season. This seems to open up a new
application for Calcium Carbide of which
it will be hard to predict the outcome.
