THE FIRST EASTER EGG.
1t Was Laid, Il Is said, by "a Roman
EmpeFOr'A Hen.

1t Was Laid, IL Is said, by % Roman
EmperOr's Hen.
WhO used the first Easter egg, and
was it a colored one?
II we are to believe one of the most
reliable antiquaries the practice of u.s.
ing cOlored eggs had its origin in the
interesting fact that when the Roman
emperor Alexander SeVerus was born
a hen belonging to his parents made
the day a memorable one by laying a
red egg. That the custom of coloring
them is older than the Christian era is
proved by the fact that colored eggs
have been found in the collins Of Tar
tars In Russia who were buried many
years before Christ. The Persians, who
have kept the festival Of the solar
year In March from time immemOrial,
make free use of eggs as gifts, coiored
most effectively with their splendid
dyes.
The Romans made more use Of eggs
than any other nation, for they were
not only articles of everyday diet, but
were used upon many ceremonial oc-
casions. For these people they seem
ed to possess some mysterious power
of reparation and publication, as when
they felt the need Of a moral rejuvena-
ton it was their habit to carry eggs
to the temples and place them on the
affairs of the gods.
To the ancients the egg was some
thing very mysterious on account of
the manner in which life was evolved
from 1t, which idea may have led them
to attribute to all life similar origin.
There can be little doubt that the use
Of eggs in the spring was originally
symbolical Of the revivification of ma
ture, the coming forth of new life.
We find traces Of superstition con-
nected with the egg. many of which
are firmly believed In today, coexistent
with the first record of the ceremonial
use of the egg. When the church was
obliged to make Easter coincide with
the date of pagan festivals these super
stitions were grated on to the Chris
tan belief, which accounts for their
existence today.-Laura B. Starr in
Woman's Home Companion.

The Ancient Legend Of the Syrian

the Ancient Legend Of the Syrian
Nightingale.
The Syrian bulbul (nightingale) has
the loveliest voice OF all Gods crea-
lures and the saddest song ever heard.
Shady coverts fringing the Jordan still
shelter the bird that sings darkling."
There IS q legend that the bulbul sat
In the olive tree In the garden OF
Joseph or Arimathea. and the night be-
fore the resurrection. through the dark
ness. she poured out Der soul in sor-
rowing plant above the still sleeper
In the tombs wherein was never man
laid. When the tirst Easter morning
broke over the eastern hills the eggs

The recent death OF General Lew
Wallace reminded Representative G.
B. lands Of Spanish war incident.
tIn Indiana" said he, where we
were always very proud OF the general,
there existed a strong sentiment that
he be given a high command against
the dons. We thought he ought to be
made major general. A delegation
came here to urge President Mckinley
to grant General Wallace such a com.
mission.
Before visiting the white House we
met OF local hotel to decide upon our
programme. After quite parley Colo
mel WIngate, one of the delegation,
suggested we must not forget that
General Wallace was splendid Span

Mohave County miner., 1905-08-26

It is principle of the mining law that the owner by grant of mineral in a vein beneath the surface must have the use of some portion of the surface, in order hat he may reach the miner als beneath. To do this he has right of way of necessity. (Wardell vs. Wat. son, 93 Mo. 1I7, 5 s. W. 6O5.) This way of necessity should not be of larger dimensions than is reasonably requis ite. (Monmouth Canal Go. v. Hartford, 1 Or. M. X R. 614 637.) This right O: privilege canuot be extended, however, to the use of other lauds belonging to the grantee, forthe purpose of trans porting ore, nor can it be asserted for any purpose not legitimately associat ed with the search for and extraction of the minerals Is.is also" in accord ance with court decisions that the right to the uze of. necessary surface is not restricted by reason of the fact that the surface owuer had granted a right of way for a tunnel by means of which ore could be removed from the mine.-M. & s. Press.
