Easter is the festival of the resur-
rection Of Jesus Christ. Itgets its name
from Eastre,a Saxon goddess, because
her festival was kept at about this
time. In the ancient churches Easter
was celebrata dght days, but in later
years two orsthree days. Easter is the
festival Of great Joy. LIZ.

An old legend Is told Of the origin
of the Easter eggs. It is as follows:
Close beside the tomb where Christ
was laid after the crucifixion, grew o
beautiful tree, and there little bird
had built her nest. She had four
beautiful white eggs.

Easter is the Sunday after Good
Friday. 1t begins the third day after
Christ was crucified and the prophets
had said that he should rise on that
day.
Early Sunday morning some women
went to see the grave where they had
laid Christ and found it empty.
An angel was there and told them
that Christ had risen from the dead.
This is the occasion for celebrating
Easter, and it has given the hope of
eternal life to all christian people.
It has been celebrated during all
after years in various ways. Some
times for many days.
In the old country, in England, Scot
land and in Scandinavia they celebrate
at least three days.
On Easter day the churches are dec

Festival Of tho Resurrection.

Easter is a festival of the resurrec-
ton of Jesus Christ and it probably
derived its name from the Anglo Sax
on Eastre. In the ancient times the
celebration of this great festival used
to last about eight days, and now it
only lasts two :or three days. 1t is the
greatest feast Of the year, and it is GEL
ebrated Throughout the world. Allthe
churches are decorated with Easter
Lilies, and other delicate flowers. The
Easter Lily issthe emblem of love and
purity, and that is the reason tits used
so much in decorating up the churches.
Easter does not always fall on the
same date, but it always comes on q
Sunday. Jes us Christ died on Good
Friday, and the third day arose after
His death, glorious and immortal, on
Easter Sunda Az. All the christian peo-
pie Of the world regard the lily as an
emblem of the purity of Jesus Christ.
Christ awoke: when the flowers awoke,
and just as old winter was throwing
of his mantle, and spring was putting
on her mantle of green, and that is
what makes it all the more beautiful.

Easter Sunday.

Easter comes every year on Sunday
A great many hundred years ago a
lady was walking in the garden and
feeling very sad and lonely. She had
lost her best friend.
At last she heard voice call her
name. It was her good friend. She
was so happy she told everybody that
He was Christ and had risen from the
dead.
We decorate the churches with white
lilies because Christ is so pure.

Easter Purity and loneliness.


Easter is the festival of the resur
rection of Jesus Christ. It is one of
the most beautiful festivals of the year
and it gets it's name from Eastre, a
goddess whose festival was kept
about the same time as Easter. In
the ancient church the celebration
lasted eight days, but now it only lasts
two or three days. 1t is festival of
pleasure, aims were given to the poor
and the slaves were often freed.
Christmas with all it's holly, mistle-
toe and bells doesn't compare with the
pureness and loneliness of Easter. It
comes about the time when nature
throws off it's mantle of white and puts
on it's gown of green. At this time, the
flowers are just opening their eyes
from their long winter sleep. 1t seems
as if the world bursts forth in the JOY
Gus song of ''He is Risen.'
The custom of exchanging eggs as a
symbol of resurrection or renewed life
is very old indeed. It is always the
custom in some churches to have a
cross covered with Easter eggs to dis
tribute among the Sunday school child
rem.
Easter Sundays the churches are
most always trimmed with cut flowers
and many beautiful plants. Among them
is the Easter Lily which makes one
think of the Lord for it's face makes
one think of something very pure and
holy.
Easter day is always the first Sun
day after the full moon which comes
upon or the next day after the twenty.
first of March, which is the beginning
of the old church year.

God commanded Moses to lead the
people of Israel out of the land of
Egypt into the land he had promised
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But the
king of Egypt, whose name was Pha.
raoh, refused to let them go.
So God sent plaques over the Egyp-
tians. The last of the ten plaques
which God sent over the Egyptians
was the death of the first born in ev-
cry family of both man and beast.
But God had commanded the Israel
ties to Stay lamb and cover the
door post with the blood of the lamb.

Three days after He was buried, Mary
and Magdalene, who were with Him
when he died, came to the grave to
anoint Him, and were very much frigh-

they knew not the Scripture, that He
must rise again from the dead.

"Christ the Lord is risen today,
Sons of men and angels say
This is an old saying but it means
a good deal. For on that first day of
the week, known as Sunday, Jesus rose
from the dead, and Mary Magdalene
came early and it was yet dark in Je-
sus' tomb and she saw He was not
there, and she told it to the others.
Mary, the mother of Jesus came ear
ly with sweet spices to place in Jesus
tomb and knew not how they we're to
roll away the stone but when they
reached the tomb they saw that the
large stone had been taken away and
they became afraid and were about to
run away, for they thought that some
one had been there and taken awayt the
BODY of Jesus. But they saw His
clothes in the tomb and at each end sat
an angel. These angels were dressed
in beautiful robes of white, and when
thew saw them, the angels asked them
if they we're seeking for Jesus, and
thew told them Christ had risen from
the dead, so they sang that old saying
til at have placed at the beginning of
my story.
Now I will try and tell you how
Easter is kept. We all eat great
many eggs and we all 60 to church:
Our mothers color lot of eggs great
many colors and sometimes we have
egg hunts and hunt eggs in the house.
The churches are all decorated with

too. Well I will now close my story,
hoping that all people will enjoy their

"Emblems of the bright and better

Martin Luther says the resurrection
is not only written IN books like the
bible but in nature. The trees put on
pretty green leaves and the earth
spreads it's green carpet.
The butterfly is often seen on Easter
cards because it makes US think of the
resurrection. The worm is life, the
cocoon death, and the beautiful butter
fly resurrection. The butterfly comes
out of the cocoon in the spring about
the same time that Easter comes.
We are always happy when Easter
comes. We like the pretty colored
eggs that we ct. Some people say
that the Easter rabbit lays them. We
like to get up early and see who can
find the most.
Some children eat too many eggs
and don't feel very we'll the next day.

Fruit Canning in Porto Rico.

According 10 Mr.. O. +. Cook. tropical
agent for the Botanical Division Of the
Agricultural Department. Porto Rico
has future in the fruit canning indus
try. He says that there are many de-
licious fruits in the island which are not
known 10 the people Of this country. on
account Of their perishability and the
difficulty Of transporting them. These.
he says. are susceptible Of conversion
into jelly and other sweets, and some
Of them can be preserved in tins or
glass jars. which would be easy OF ship
ment. The reasons why this industry
has not been developed before are two.
one Is that under Spanish rule there
was a 10 per cent tax on sugar, and the
other is that the people are not natur-
ally given 10 new enterprises
Among the fruits which he mentions
are the grosella, which makes a dainty
preserved sweet: the tropical ounce
which Is too delicate for transportation.
the fresas. a small berry which is in
flavor a combination Of the strawberry
and the raspberry; the corazon. a sweet
fruit; besides mangOes and tamarinds.
which are already known TO the Amer
lean market.
Mr.. Cook also thinks that orange CuI-
ture has been neglected. and may be
much further developed. II is possible
that In future Porto Rican oranges will
be cheaper than American apples
Malaga grapes can also be raised in one
part Of the island, and three crops a
year can be gathered. Mr. Cook and
other American scientific men have
found that coffee can be grown without
shade in the island.
labor required is Of a kind which the
inhabitants can easily supply, and in
which they will be extremely profitable.

SUPPLIES OF AMERICAN COAL
France and Switzerland to BUY
From the United states.

Frank II. Mason, the United States
Consul General at Berlin. writes TO the
State Department: that the central office
for the preparation of commercial treat
les al Berlin has in a recent circular
pointed out as an especially significant
sign of the times. the fact that elaborate
preparations are now in progress for the
permanent supply of American coal to
Northern France and Switzerland.
Already. says the memorial, the
American exporters during the coal fam
me OF last year sent a quantity Of coal
to Switzerland by the water route via
Rotterdam. Mannheim. and StrasburE
But the long distance and the several
transshipments caused SO much disinte-
grafton that IL could not finally be used
as lump coal for steam purposes"
Speaking Of the matter Mr. Mason
says; The present plan includes the
creation in port Of Northern France Of
an immense receiving station or depot
equipped with modern American machin-
cry, for unloading, screening. and grad
ing coal. and FOR making briquettes from
the refuse dust and slack For the Swiss
trade. the French railway have granted
a special freight rate Of S23l per ton, and
with this concession II is expected that
sen ana replace the supply which Swift
zerland has hitherto drawn almost ex-
cluslNely from Germany. II all this is
true, as announced. there may be an Op-
porJunity Tor an important trade. The
imports OF German fuel into Switzerland
in 1900 were as follows. Coke 1920 tons;
coal ll!2,4lS tons; briquettes, 307,Sl3 tons;
total, l.5.g44 tons"
