both Occident and Orient.
A deep religious sentiment governs
the Christian observance Of Easter,
and in that particular the Chinese an
cestral worship is similar to it. The
fifth commandment of the Christian
decalogue is their first. Thou shalt
honor thy father and mother and no
sin in the eyes Of the pious Chinese
is so heinous as that Of disobedience
or d~isrespect to parents.
This flial piety is the fundamental
virtue Of their social life, and the re-
spect which q son shows his father
does not end with life, but is still
shown to his memory long after his
death. Nor is the Difference merely an
individual custom. Time has hallowed
it into a great national festival.
1t is called Using Ming, and occurs
in the spring of the year. The Chi

death Of a child or a young person,
but when a father or a mother dies.

TO BE HAND PAINTED.

Anybody who can use q brush at all
can make lovely and at the same time
novel eggs by taking a little trouble.
The prettiest idea, and one which can
be carried u easily, is to take q goose
egg and paint a little spray Of violets
on 1t. These blossoms are symbolic
of the spring, and so especially ap-
p~ropriate. Next make a little bunch
of paper ~violets. ending as described
before. in q bon-bon. These, of course,
are to I'LL the opening which has been
made to blow out the egg. Fill the
rest OF the egg with candied violet
leaves. This makes as beautiful q lit
tie egg as the heart could wish, and
especially dear to the recipient as rep
resenting the work and thought Of the
giver. A pretty variation of this no
ton can be made by drawing roses
instead Of v~iolets, using . paper ross
for the stopper and filling the egg with
candied ros leaves. Endless designs

Celebrate the Day

In the Christian churches of all ma
tions Easter is celebrated as the day
On which the Great Teacher, the Jesus
Christ, rose from the dead and thereby
consummated his divine plan of re-
deeming the human race. Since Eas-
ter is SO indissolubly associated with
the life of the Founder of the Christian
religion, one would naturally assume
that it is a purely Occidental festival,
having it's origin in the west and be-
ing confined in observance to eau
casian countries. Yet, strangely
enough, in several of the countries Of
the Orient, in India, in Japan, in Chi
ma, we find religious festivals bearing
a wonderful Observation-Disclosures
that were observed by pious people
thousands Of years before the begin
ming Of the Christian era laid the
foundations of western civilization and
power.
The festival Of India analogous to
the Christian Easter is called the
Feast of Buddha"; in Japan it is
named the Feast of the Higon," while
in China they term the great spring.
time celebration "The Ancestral Wor-
ship" All these holidays have deep
religious significance, for all have
their origin in the spirit of thankful
ness and rejoicing; that wherever man
lives he has ever greeted the death of
winter and the dawn of spring. In
this sense Easter, the Higon, the An
cestral Worship, are all more than
mere church days-they are mans
spontaneous outpouring of gratitude

This last metaphor IS extremely an

Rome as a ship at sea, and Plutarch

Risn,arcIS and Gnmbetta.

Roth in the French and English press
there is at present much talk about
Gambetta's relations to Bismarck. most
of which is wide of the mark. The only
occasion on which the great French
man visited Germany. with view pos
sibly. of meeting the chancellor. was In
the autumn of 1881. when the Germans
woke up one fine morning to find that
he had been prowling about ineognito
among them.
Gambetta went as far as Konigsberg
and thus passed quite close to Varzln'
where Bismarck was staying at the
time. Referring to this at one OF his
parliamentary soirees Bismarck said
he supposed that the French statesman
had really intended paying him a visit,
but had abandoned his purpose on
learning. perhaps en- route, from his
friends in Paris that such an act might
be misconstrued in France.
Within month Of this mysterious
visit to Germany Gambetta had FORM
ed q new French ministry and taken
unto himself the portfolio of foreign
affairs. HE works upon the nerves
of Europe" said Bismarck, like a
man who beats a drum in a sickroom."

senator Wnrren's Way.

Journeying to Boston some time ago,
Senator Warren OF Wyoming Travelled
on q certain railroad and lost his
trunk 1t contained many valuable cos
tunes belonging to his wife and MS
own outfit. so that its loss was no
small matter. He struggled for some
time to find a trace of the trunk, but
without success. nor could he secure
any reimbursement.
Upon returning to Cheyenne he plac-
cd a watchman in the railroad yards,
with instructions to report the arrival
of the first freight car bearing the
name of the road upon which he had
Travelled. In a day or two the watch-
man gave the necessary information.
Senator Warren at once went before
local magistrate and sued out an at
tachment upon the freight car. Then
he wired to the railroad officials stating
what he had done and awaited results.
In less than three hours came dls-
patch saying that check for the value
of the missing trunk had been forward
cd TO him and asking him to let the
freight car proceed upon its way. Then
the suit was withdrawn.-Kansas City
