A deep religious sentiment governs
the Christian observance of Easter
and in that particular the Chinese an
cestraI 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 disrespect to parents
This filia1 piety is the fundamental
virtue of their social life, and the re-
spect which a 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 halIowed
it into a great national festival.
1t is called Using Ming, and occurs
in the spring of the year The Chi
nese do not make much ado about the
death of a child or young person.

common proverbs, LAS much trouble

of the Orient has for its foundation
the theory of risen Redeemer. And

Celebrate the Day

In the Christian churches of all
lions 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 indissoIubly 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, strang e1y
enough, in several of the countries of
the Orient, in India, in Japan, in Chi
ma, we find religious festivals bearing
wonderful resem bIance-festival
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
cestra1 Worship, are all more than
mere church days@they are mans

The Easter egg has always been one

many of the popular Easter obsery-
ances do, to pagan tradition 1t was
held symbolic of renewed life, and
in the Christian church is an old en-
b1em of the resurrection. In Germany,
instead of the Easter egg, is presented
an emb1ematic print, in which three
hens are holding a basket, wherein
are three eggs; whereas in Vienna
the Easter egg is composed OF silver.

with knickknacks of some kind
Formerly in England the Easter egg
was solemnly blessed by the priest,
and, being deliberately coIored, was oft

called, have from time immemorial
been prepared much as they are today.

TO BE HAND PAINTED.

Anybody who can use brush at all
can make lovely and at the same time
novel eggs by taking little trouble
The prettiest idea, and one which can
be carried out easily, is to take goose

on it These blossoms are symbolic
of the spring. and SO especially ap-
propriate- Next make a little bunch
of paper yioletS. ending as describe

made to blow out the egg Fill the
rest of the egg with candied violet
leaves This makes IS beautiful a lit
tie egg as the heart could wish, and
especially dear to the recipient as rep
resenting the work and thought of the
giyer- A pretty variation of this no
ton be made by drawing roses
instead of violets, using a paper rose
for the stopper and filling the egg with
candied rose leaves Endless designs
are shown in the confectionery shops
OF the cities. but they can be painted
at home just well, and will be more

Says the Spanish Commander Was
Blameless in the Matter---PrOb-

GERS at the Arsenal---Cuba Is
Worthy Of Attention.

NewsYork, Dec. 13.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee addressed the members OF the
Patria Club last night on "The United
States and Cuba" He said in part:
"Cuba never was SO we'll governed
by Spain as she is today. Congress,
wearied of the wars in Cuba, passed
resolutions recognizing the right OF bel
ligerency of the insurgents, and then
came the war.
Scuba ia we'll worthy the attention
of the United States. 1t is the richest
spot on Gods green earth. 1t has been
waiting for half century for American
energy and enterprise. If We had not
sacrificed wisdom for sentiment we
would own Cuba today.
Prior to the war with Spain, when
was consul general in Cuba, there were
repeated attempts to assassinate me.
Wherever went had to sit with my
back to the wall, and my hand on my
slx.shooter. l received twenty and

and told of General Blanco's action
after the catastrophe.

Blanco and his officers had no more to
do with the blowing up Of the Maine
than had the people OF New York city.
It is my te'ief that some of the young
officers left in the arsenal by General
Weyler blew up the Maine. 1t was
they, am sure, who planted the mine
that sent the Maine to it's destruction.
