for this purpose q committee has been formed to

which the Spaniards know TO well how

The proper time for the celebration
Of Easter occasiOned no little contro-
versy in the early church, the great
mass of the eastern Christians ccle-
brating the feast upon the fourteenth
day of the first Jewish month, or moon,
the date of the Passover. The west
ern Christians celebrated it on the
Sunday following the fourteenth day,
claiming that this more nearly com
memorated the resurrection of Christ.
In 325 the council of Nice decided in
favor of the western usage and brand
ed the eastern custom as the "quarto-
decimen heresy."

A EASTER EGGS.
Triumphs of Art Are These symbols
of Spring.

In Japan, where the coming of spring
and the bursting into bloom of the
cherry trees are made the occasion for
an annual festival, the eggs of the
Australian ostrich are greatly in de-
mand as an important feature i'll the
joyous festival. 1t Is Il far cry indeed
from our trayesty of an Easter egg,
whose pure, delicate surface is actual
~ distigured by cheap dyes and crude,
raw designs, to the exquisite works of
art that the Japanese artist puts upon
the market to welcome the spring. The
Japanese artist always works as If i'm
bued with the thought that God Is
everywhere. e.
Nothing that the nimble brown fin
gers touch is ever sighted, and upon
the oval surface of these large eggs the
Japanese artists lavish a very wealth of
artistic efforts. The natural tint of the
egg, a grayish blue, is often retained,
and fairy landscapes are traced upon
this background, which blends eX-
quisitely with the blue of the sky, dis
tant mountains or tiny lakes and rivers.
Again, the egg will be tinted all over by
the artist, and the designs are then
chosen with great care relative to the
ground color. Some of the most eXpen-
sive eggs decorated in Japan are those
which simulate specimens of cloiSonne
ware.
Such IN egg, gorgeous in gold leaf
and rare pigments and inclosed in II
wonderfully carved ivory box, was
once designed by an obscure artist and
sent to the mikadO, long years ago, just
as the cherry trees were bursting into
bloom. The royal recipient sent an i'm
mense sum of money to the artist as Il
mark of his appreciation and ordered
him to leave the little country village
where he had toiled unknown and come
to the imperial city, and honor and
great renoWn became his through long
years.
Many and various are the designs on
the Japanese eggs-dancing geishas
and %grinning devils, wistaria covered
tea houses, with a geisha smiling coy
welcome from the tiny porch, and
stately temples presided over by sol
emn, sad eyed Buddhas, flowery land
scapes smiling under sunny skies and
lofty mountain peaks wrapped in low
ering clouds. All the varieties of Jap
anese landscape and all the vicissi-
tudes of Japanese life are portrayed on
these eggs of the artist in Japan.-New

The MOI gantoWn Chronicle tates tiit
the question m the following manner
aslting for q BhoIl new dealt
Many a patch VIII be necessary 70
make the West Virginia constitution
what IT oughtto be. How long ought
the patching process go on before
the people can make up thar minds
to cast aside the old garment and
substitute a new? Mo- sacred tradi-
tons and fond memories bind us to
the constitution of 1879. We re.
spect It because 1t is our law. but
we do not reverence it for any inner
cnt virtues It possesses. The men
who framed that document seemed
to labor under the belief that the
future would prodIce no statesmen
in West Virginia. They acted as
though they thought when they died,
wisdom would die with them. They
set metes and bounds to hold future
legislatures in check. Thsy loaded
down the constitution with multi
tudes OF details which had more
places in a town ordinance than in a
state constitution.
1T is about time for a new deal.
We have men in West Virginia who
can write a constitution in half the
space of the present one. and twice as
good. They can write it. in terms
sufficiently liberal TO allow future
to frame measures to
laeet conditions that shall arise, That
is more than the present constitution
will permit"

THE WAGE QUESTION.

An elevator and its occupants can
not safely go in opposite directions
Just so with wages and the cost of liv-
ing. The things we live on are pro.
duced by labor and as certainly as
ever any event followed its cause will
the cost of living continue to rise as
wages go up. Isn't it reasonable that
an article will cost more in proper.
ton as higher priced labor is put into
Its production? Therefore, when peo-
pie complain that the cost Of living
rises almost as rapidly or in some
cases more rapidly than wages, what
basis is there for the complaint? An
other factor to be taken into consiL-
Grafton is the higher standard Of liv-
ing in prosperous times. People enjoy
many Injuries and indulge In unneces-
sary expenditures, but human nature
cannot be changed to order. so these
conditions will continue to prevail.
However. the average man would rath-
er pay more for his stuff If only he has
the money to Do 1t with and that is
why everybody is happy when wages
are high n6 matter about cost of liv-
ing and People are correspondinsly

low and work scarce. It is for these
reasons that announcement Of wage
