In any event, we are informed that an ordinance will be promptly passed prohibiting repeti- ton of such an affair. Meantime, if the performance be given, we hope the company will be rebuked with very small audience.

Ever since the time OF the ancient
Egyptians eggs have been regarded
as the symbols of recreation. This
idea originated among the subjects
of the Pharaohs, from their close OBJ
servance Of the habits Of the scarabs,
or sacred beetle, winch buried its ball
In the grave It had made for itself,
In the hope. as they thought, OF
speedy resurrection. It never occurred
to them that the pellets contained
eggs. which in the fullness of time
we're brought to maturity by. the
warmth of the sun When the In
sect appeared once more among them,
they we're contented to believe 1t was
the original one they had seen bury
itself in the same spot, now brought
to life again by the sun god. So the
beetle was reverenced by them as a
sacred thing, because it gave them
hope Of a similar resurrection of their
mummified bodies.
Among the ancient Egyptians every
soldier was compelled to wear a ring,
upon which a scarab, or sacred beetle,
was engraved. The object of this was
to make him valorous in battle, the
sce.ab being the symbol of regen-
GRAFTON or resurrection.
BY the Jews the egg was looked
upon as a symbol of the duration of
the human race, and Of their succes-
sive generations. 1t entered into all
the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalyptic, and occupied prominent
position on the household table dur
ing the paschal season. The only
food laid before mourners on return
ing to the home after funeral con
sisted of hard-boiled eggs and salt
the symbols of regeneration and In
compatibility.
In accordance with the traditions
of the Persians, the world was
hatched from one egg in the begin
ring, at the season of the year which
corresponds with the vernal equinox
for which reason eggs are popularity
presented as New Year gifts by the
modern Persians. 1t was from this
custom that the northern nations
came to regard the paschal eggs as

When Christianity usurped tht
pagan rites and observances Of th'
saxons. the paschal eggs were in
vested with a rev significance. name
". that of the resurrection OF Christ
These eggs were at first colored red
in aruson to the blood shed for th'
salvation Of men.
Gradually the Easter-egg custom
has become universal over tine world
Millions OF people eat their Taste
eggs on this great festival day, cele

Easter sunday.

The popular Understanding OF the
determination OF Easter IS that It is
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the yernal equinox. This
although the theory, must be taken
With modification in actual practice,
because ecclesiastical dlctum lxes
the yernal equinox Invariably on the
a1st Of March. though this may not
be the Astronomical fact because the
full moon is fixed at the 1ith day and
because the beginning OF the Paschal

ecclesiastical calculations agree SUN.
