Lily, Emblem Of Spring.

Legends in plenty cluster about the
lily; one legend of very ancient date
gives the supposed origin of "the lily,
of all children of the spring the pal.
est; fairest, too, where fair ones are"
Long centuries ago angels coming as
celestial visitants to earth, found it
bare and gloomy in comparison with
the eternal blooms of their home in
Paradise. They entered rocky tombs
and took the shining nantes OF the
blessed dead and changed them to
flowers. From this comes the beauti-
full and poetic superstition that on
Easter morning in every lily bud is
hidden an angel.

| thus after the real full moon, which
is generally on the 18th or 18th oil
the month. With this explanation
then of what is meant by the full
moon, namely, that 1t is the 14th OF
the calendar moon, the rule is thai
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the Pascal full moon, which hap.
| pens upon or next after the 21st OF
March, and if the full moon happens
on Sunday, then Easter is the Sun
day following. One object of this ar
rangement was that Easter and the
Jewish Passover should not coincide.
Easter is always between March %
and April rs. The last time Easter
came on March % was in 1918 and it
will not occur that early again in this
century.
1t may prove interesting to those
who are mathematically inclined IT,
figure out when Easter will occur in
any given year in this century. If 50,
here Is a rule they can follow First,
divide the date of the year by 10 and
call the remainder a; divide the date
of the year by and call the remain.
der b, then divide the date of the year
by 7 and call the remainder c. Sec
ond, divide 19a plus "a by 80 and cal,
the remainder d. Third, divide %
plus 4c plus Cd plus by and call
the remainder e; then Easter will be
the 22d plus d plus OF March: or
the d plus e minus 8 Of April. There
are two exceptions to that rule: II
Easter falls under the calculation on
April rs, put it back to the 18th Of
that month, and when It falls on
April rs, put it back to the 18th un-
less equal 20 and equal 5.

the old festival of the Goddess Estera

trary, were preserved and Christian.
lied. Thus the custom of giving
eggs, many of them beautifully col
ored, to friends at Easter was kent
up and the eggs were blessed by the
church. From the earliest ages tho
egg has been considered as a symbol
of the beginning Of life and therefore
was considered a very appropriate
present at the beginning Of spring,
when all life is budding out and be-
ginning anew. The custom Of "pick.
ing eggs" that is to say, Of striking
their points together, which is "a
vored amusement with boys in the |
Eastern States, Is also probably of |
very ancient origin, and was prob |
ably practiced by the ancestors of
our juvenile Americans of to-day cen.
turtles ago. In Washington Easter
Monday is the great children's day of |
the year. On that day thousands of
children congregate on the rolling
lawn behind the White House and

ORIGIN OF THE EASTER FESTIVAL
j. F.

| The name Easter Is of Saxon orig.
in, being derived from that of the
Goddess Estera, in whose honor sac.
rifices and celebrations took place at
the opening of spring. With the al
vent of Christianity these heather
ceremonies were discontinued, but as
they had occurred at the time of the
year when the resurrection of Christ
was celebrated by the church the old
name was applied to the new festival.
With the Latin races, however, the
crucifiXion and resurrection of Christ
having occurred at the time of the
Jewish passover, they have called the
festival by a name suggesting that
fact, thus the French name for Eas-
ter is Paques and the Spanish Pas
cua.
AS with all the other great festivals
Of the church, the date when Easter
should be celebrated has been the
cause of bitter controversy. The
Eastern church insisted that it should
be celebrated on the day of the month
on which the event commemorated
occurred, and as the cruciixion is
supposed to have taken place on the
fourteenth of Nison, the first Jewish
month or Passover, on that date it
was coilmemorated, and the resurrec-
ton two days later, on the sixteenth,
regardless of whether those dates
came on Friday and Sunday or not.
The Western church entirely dis
carded the day of thu month in ar
ranging for the celebration and in
sisted that the crucifxion should al
ways be commemorated on Friday
and the resurrection on Sunday.
The matter finally came up for i'd
Iustment before the Council of NJ
caea, in 1876, which decided in favor
of the Western contention, but the
Eastern church refused to change it's
custom and thus gave rise to what Is
known as the "quartodeciman here.
sy."
At the time OF the adoption of the
Gregorian calendar 1t was debated
whether the feast of Easter should be
given fixed date or left movable as
before, and the decision was finally
reached in favor Of the latter plan.

Of the church. Easter therefore Is al |

rivals; Thursday in commemoration
OF the Lords supper, Friday of his
crucifixion and Saturday the Easter
celebration really begins. In many
parts of Europe, especially in Russia,
and during the middle ages, services
were held all night before Easter I'M
til cockcrow, which is the hour at
which the resurrection is supposed to
have taken place. The devout re-
NAMED for hours in prayer until
morning, when they at once saluted
each other with the salutation,
Christ is risen," to which the answer
was, Eyes, he is truly risen" That
form of salutation is still the one in
Russia Easter morn. In continental
Europe, however, and in Great Britain
the church began the celebration Of
Easter at the mass of the previous
day, or Saturday, and the bells on the
churches, which had been silent since
Thursday, were again rung during
the service.
At the Saturday service, too, in the
Catholic churches large candle is
blessed. and also the new fire to re-
call the resurrection of Christ, the
candle forming conspicuous object
in the sanctuaries of the churches I'M

The season is of course one Of great
rejoicing after the fasts of Lent and
formerly was celebrated with NUN.
Der of festivities which, according to
our modern ideas, are hardly connect.
ed with an ecclesiastical event. Thus
in France 1t was customary to play
game OF ball, in which the partici.
pants were Bishops, Canons and 9th.

dances in France as late as the sew
enteenth century and other signs of
Joy and happiness. The law courts
were all closed and business seems to
have been generally suspended In
England Easter has been celebrated
as Christian festival since $50, and,
although the Puritans abolished ii,
as they did Christmas and other
church celebrations, 1t has been re-
vived and given much Of its ancient
splendor. In this country all the
churches observe it with special mu-
sic, and the fair sex make 1t the spe-
cial occasion for appearing with their

sKAGWAY HAS AN ALUM NINE.
Great Lodges of Rock With rs Per Cent
Of Mineral Found.

SKAGWAY, March 1.-Skagway has
an alum mine. Great lodges of beauti-
full, white alum stone traverse the walls
of the Skagway River canyon. The dis
covery was made quite by accident
but it is now backed with expert opin-
ion, it is claimed, and it is there in suf-
ficient quantities to supply the market
of the continent, according to mining
experts.
For months those working on the OK
Mel mine, near the city, which is be-
ing developed for it's gold values, have
been dumping at mouth of the tunnel
great quantities of snoW-white rock.
1t was assayed for gold, but was value
less. Some one put piece of the rock
in his mouth and discovered the alum
taste and the astringent properties of
alum and mining men sent pieces of
the rock away for investigation, with
the result that it was declared to be a
high grade alum stone.

WOMEN TO WEAR GAY HATS.
Also the MIIiners Plan to ReIegate the
Large Picture Headpiece.

CHICAGO, March 1.-Women are to
wear gay hats this spring. This is the
verdict of the women who are promi-
nent in the affairs of the National
nual convention of the association will
be held in the Masonic Temple this
week. The first session will be held
Thursday morning and the last Satur-
day. Gay colors will prevail at the
convention. Somberness has had no
place in the brains of the women who
create hats. Conservatism has been
thrown to the winds. If a man be-
decked himself in the colors that will
be found on the hats of the ladies he
would be termed loud dresser
The hats are also to be unique.
There will be no large picture hats.
There will be no creations that meas
ure yard in diameter. There will be
no fluffy effects in lace. The most
popular of the hats will probably be
the colonial hat. 1t is made in the
styles worn in the days of George
Washington. Another popular hat will
be the Napoleon hat, made in the style
popular when Napoleon was at his re
NTH. Then there is a hat called the
Normandy hat. Its shape is not I'M
like that of a coal transfers cap. It Is
round and tall. The only difference is
that the visor of the transfers can is
in front, while the visor of the Nor
mandy hat is at the back
1t is expected that hundreds of mil
timers will be in that city, when the
first session of the milliners' conven-
,1ion is called to order.
Several medals have been offered fol-
the best displays. One medal will be
awarded for the best dress hat. An
other medal will go to the woman de-
signing the best street hat. while stiff
another medal Will be given to the de-
slgner of the best suit hat

questioning of the police, Jones made
the startling confession that Rice had
been murdered by Patrick. Though
he was in an adjoining apartment,
Jones said he had not actively partici-
pated in the crime. Patrick had
formed plot to have the millionaire
leave him his property by will and had
found it necessary to take the old
mans life to prevent the revocation of
the document. A cone, saturated with
chloroform, had been placed over the
old mans face while he slept, and
death had thus been accomplished, ac-
cording to the Wallets confession.
Patrick's arrest followed immediate
ly. He remained cool, and asserted
mis- innocence. On April 1 the prelim-
/ mary hearing in the case began be-
fore Justice, now District Attorney
Jerome. The second great confession
came on the second day of the near
ing, when Jones, after passing a sleep
less night in the Tombs, went upon the
stand and confessed that he, and not
Patrick, had killed the aged million
aire. With circumstantial detail, he
related cold -bloodedly, how he mad fed
the millionaire poison, and finally
placed the cone over his face, all at
the instigation of lawyer Patrick
Patrick was convicted, and a motion
for a new trial having been denied,
sentence of death was imposed upon
him. About two years ago he sue
ceeded in getting a new trial, which
likewise resulted in verdict of guilty
Since that time he has remained in the
death house at Sing Sing, spending all
of mis- time in the study of medicine
with a view to fortifying himself with
knowledge to prove that death could
not have come to the millionaire in the
manner alleged without leaving traces
other than those offered in evidence at
his trial.
Shortly after his first conviction the
lawyer, through mis- attorneys, offered
the 1900 will for probate, and Surro-
gate Fitzgerald threw It aside as a
forgery. Patrick appealed the will
case and was again defeated and the
fortune passed irretrievably out of his
hands.

Work of construction will probably
begin within four or six weeks and will
be located on piece of ground owned
by Samuel Benn, near Lindstrom's
shipyard. This enterprise involves an
expenditure of $4,000 or $4,000 for
the two places of Aberdeen and Ho-

of the principal features. 1t will be
made from California oil.
