THE EGG IN HISTORY.
It Is SarrouHded by Many Ancient
 LeEeBdx and Beliefs.

it Is SarrOutsdcd by Many Ancient
 Legends and Beliefs.
 Like mauy another term in Chris tian nomenclature, the word Faster Is derived from pagan sources, The Saxon goddess of light, EStra, was honorcd with an annual festival at the yernal equinox. The Jewish Passover was also regulated by the March moon, and the resurrection of Jesus occurred at thls season In later centuries the great Christian festival came to bear the pagan name Easter and to be cele- brated at a time colncidcRt with the Jewish feast.
 Since remoteSt times the egg has symbollzed recreation. Persian tradi- ton has 1t that the world was matched from an egg at the season which cor responds to the vernal equinox, for which reason eggs are still given for New Years presents by the PersianS. The druids said that the sun, a great egg. matched from Itself the earth and other planets.
 By the Chinese 1t is believed that the world was formed of two parts of a great egg. From the yolk man came forth. He then waved his hand, and the upper half of the shell went up- ward and became the cOncave heavens; the lower half reversed, making the convex earth. and the white albumen became the seas.
 When Christianity took over various of the Saxon rites the Paschal eggs Of the Jews were vested with a new sig nifcance- the resurrection of Christ. They were colored red In mem ory of the blood shed for mans re- demptlon.-Chicago News

They Do Not Possess the Mad FerOc-
 ity One Reads About.
 Did the old eagle show fight? is the first query put by the casual listener. l always see a trace of disappoint- ment sweep over his cOuntenance when he hears the answer The mo- ment you speak of climbing to an eagles aerie the average man gets an Idea of a narrowing tale of the pho tographer hanging 70 the edge of a cliff or the top of tree, with the old eagles clawing out pound chunks at every swoop. Few eagles possess the mad ferocity pictured and magnifed by sensational story tellers. When we first scrambled over powders of the canyon up toward the nest l saw the old eagle slip quietly from her eggs and skim out over the mountain top. When strapped on the climbers to ascend the tree had one eye opened for trouble. But each time we visited the spot the parents silently disap- peared and stayed away as long as we cared to hold possession. They kept watchful eye, however, from the blue distance overhead. For a noble bird like the eagle this abandoning of the nest and young seemed to me cowardly at first. Perhaps the long years of per secution have taught him something. The first rule of self preservation of this pair seemed to be to keep half a mile distant from the animal that lights with neither beak nor claw Country Calendar.

Senator TiIIman's Speech
Last Friday.

instant to The News and Courier:
In response to a numerously
signed petition United States
Senator B. r. Tillman addressed
a Lancaster audience today on
the dispensary. He spoke on
Court House square and was at
tentiVely listened to by 500 or
more persons. A number Of la
dies were in the audience and
Mayor Wylie introduced the
speaker.
The Senator stated in his open
ing remarksSthat it had been
about eleven years since he had
spoken here, but he had address
edLancasterpeople often enough
to feel at home among them.
He expressed his appreciation
of the frequent evidences in the
past by the citizens Of Lancaster
of their good will and confidence
in him, which he would continue
to strive to deserve. He wished
that he could be let alone, but
would always respond to the
call of the people, that he used
to have somewhat of a reputa-
ton as a fighter, though he new
er had had but one or two per-
sonal difficulties in his life, the
last being in Washington in the
Senate.
NOT TO NEEDLE.
He did not come here to med
die in local affairs, but came be-
cause between three hundred
and four hundred citizens of
Lancaster petitioned him to
come and talk dispensary. "You
are competent" he said, ito de-
eide issues yourselves. You
have always had the good sense
to vote for me-"
Taking up the dispensary the
Senator gave a complete his
tory Of the system from its in
ception down to the present. He
explained why from his stand
point the original dispensary
bill was substituted in the Sen
ate for the prohibition bill that
had passed the House. He re-
viewed the troubles he as Gov
ernor encountered in enforcing
the dispensary law, going into
details about the Darlington
riot and giving the history of
the dispensary in the courts,
both State and national.
He declared the statement
that he had tried to foist on the
people what they did not want
bore falsehood upon it's face.
Realizing that men love whiskey
and will have it. he had in the
dlspensary simply endeavored
to give the people a law that
would minimize the evils of IL
quor selling and liquor drinking
and divert the profits from the
pockets of individuals to the
State, counties and municipali-
ties. Prohibition, he said, would
produce hypocrites and liars.
Edgefield tried prohibition once
and the drug stores proved to
be worse than saloons. The
only way to stop the making of
liquor is for the people to stop
drinking it, which they will new
er do. The dispensary was de-
signed to reduce the evil as
much as possible. 1t was work
ing all right until the Legisla-
ture began changing the law,
first taking its control out of
the hands of the Governor and
