the universe. the work Of the Supreme
Divinity The egg in all ages and in
every country has been the subject of
poetical myths and legends. The ancient
Films believed that a mystic bird laid
an egg on the lap of Vaimainon. who
Matched it in his bosom. He let it fall
into the water and ii broke; the lower
portion of the shell formed the earth.
the upper the sky, the liquid white BE-
came the sun and the yolk the moon,
while the little fragments of broken Shell
were changed into stars.
Hutchinson remarks that the egg was
! held by the Egyptians as a sacred en-
blem of the renovation of mankind after
the deluge. The Hebrews adopted it tc
suit the circumstances of their history
as type Of their departure from the land
of Egypt, and it was used in the Feast
Of the Passover as part of the furniture
of the table, with the Paschal lamb.
Christians have certainly used it on this
day. as retaining the elements of future
life, for the emblem of the resurrection.
1t seems as if the egg was thus decorat-
ed for a religious trophy after the days
of modification and abstinence were over
and festiyity had taken place. and as
an emblem of the resurrection of life,
certified to us by the resurrection from
the regions of death and the grave"
The usage of interchanging eggs at this
season has been referred for its origin to
the egg games of the Romans, which they
celebrated at the time Of our Easter,
when they ran races in an egg-shaped
ring. and the victor received eggs as his
prize. These games were Instituted in
honor of Castor and Pollux, who, fabu-
lists relate. came forth from an egg de-
posted by Leda after Jupiter had Wis
tied her in the shape Of a swan.

And Jack, not having attained the wis
dom of angels, warmly agreed.
Quite the prettiest girl in the room,
pursued Dorothy, smoothing her gloves
with assiduous care.
Jack cheerfully3 assented.
And then Dorothy waltzed away with
a new partner, and, try as he might, Jack
failed to catch a single glance over that
partners shoulder from the blue eyes
that meant his heaven.
He took refuge in sull1y fight, and
Dorothy, having laughed and danced the
evening through, spent the remainder OF
the night in tears, not of repentance, but
of jealous wrath and pain.
The nightfall found her carefully dress
ed and willing to be sued into a forgiv-
ing frame of mind. But Jack, the out
ragged and indignant, had not yet reach
ed the melting mood; he waited for q
word of apology and recall, and when,
after what seemed to Dorothy unpardon-
able delay, he finally sent in his card,

Lent gave excuse to one aching heart

Little Dorothy, fair as a violer in her

was heavy with the fragrance of lilies,
and prayed for that peace which the
world cannot give"
And. o God. don't let his mother die, {"
she kept repeating with the persistency of
a child, but not even to God was this
shy. proud nature willing to formulate in
words the prayer that shook her soul to
its center.
She lifted her head TO find the church
almost deserted. Some one, pale and re-
pentant, stood al the church door. The
meeting was as solemn as the place, and
broken words of love and sorrow were
breathed on either side.

His little laughing Dorothy quite sat
iSfied his private ideal of what a girl
should be. although she was a perpetual
thorn in the side of his only sister, pres
ident of several clubs, and an earnest
advocate Of woman's rights.
"3ut SO am l, auntie," Dorothy had
argued. from the stronghold of her faith
er's knee. II believe in woman's rights
as much as you do. only we differ about
what these rights are"
''Will you explain your platform, my
dear?" her aunt asked, grimly.
And Dorothy had laughed, and finally
averred that, in her opinion, woman's
rights consisted in having all men honor
and protect her, and one especial man
love and take care of her.
Undoubtedly, Dorothy was an oddity,
but several men of younger years than
her father were not altogether displeased
with the out-of-date characteristics Of
this winsome maid. One in particular,
viewed her with eyes of distinct approval.
and Dorothy's rosy cheek grew roster

Changes in Date for Easter.

An Industrious collector of statistics
who has been investigating the subject
has gathered some interesting facts re-
garding the variable times of this fes-
tiyal. In 1883 and 1894, he says, Easter
fell on the unusually early date of March
%, but in the three following centuries
it viii occur only eight times on that day,
namely, in the years 1851, 2046, 20o7,
2103, 2114, 2125 and 219S.
The earliest date on which it can fall
is March %, and this only when the
moon is full on March 81, which must
be a Saturday. This combination of cir
cumstances is extremely rare; it occur
red in 1890, 1761 and 1917, and will hap
p n again in 1890, 2076 and 2144, while
during the three centuries following this
last year it is not once destined to fall
on so early date.
Going to the other extreme, Easter nev-
err comes later than April %. 1t is on
record as happening on this date in 1866,
1874 and 1886. and in the next century
will reach it only once-in 1913.

ORIGIN OF EASTER RABBITS.
According to Tcutonic Tradition Bunny
Was Once n Bird

One of the quaint and interesting fea-
lures of our modern Easter carnival is
the appearance in shop windows. side by
side with the emblematic colored egg, of
IA pert tall-eared rabbit. and those who
cannot understand why bunny should
have a place in our Easter decorations
shrug their shoulders and think it a trick
to please the children. But the legend
OF the Easter rabbit is one sf the oldest
in mythology. and is mentioned in the
early folk lore of South Germany. Orig
