Easter Egg.

The learned Count de Gebelin, in
his Religious History of the calender,
informs us that the custom of giving
eggs It Easter is to be traced 10 the
theology and philosophy of the Egyr-
tians, Persians, Greeks and Romans,
among all of whom the egg was the
emblem of the universe, the work Of
supreme divinity. The egg was held
by the Egyptians IS a sacred emblem
of the renovation of mankind after
the deluge. The Jews adopted it to
suit the circumstances of their depar-
ture from the land of Egypt, and 1t is
used in the feast of the Passover as
part of the furtinure of the table with
the Paschal lamb. The Christians
have certainly used it on this day az
retaining the elements of future life,
for an emblem Of the resurrection.
Under a further development of the
thought above mentioned, the ancient
Egyptians thought the egg no. impropt r
Thoroughbred representation of the
resurrection Of the body. The ex-
clusion of a livi 6 creature by incu-
baton after the vital principle has
lain a long while dormant, or seeming
ly extinct, is a process 80 strongly
marvellous, that, if it could be disbe-
lieved, would be thought by some a
thing to the full as ~incrediable as that
the Author of Life should be able to
reanimate the dead.
1t is clear that the church of Rome
and the Greek church regard the egg
as mathematical of the resurrection.
In both of these churches from early
times the custom has prevailed of max
ing presents at Easter Of eggs colored
red, typifying the blood of Christ,
thereby the dead are made alive. Nat
urally from this religious obrervance
come the various games and pasttimes
of which the egg is a feature at Easter:
The addition of other colors than red
is merely fanciful and not significant.

Income Tax.

The attorney general has given an opinion
In whibh he holds that the salaries Of state
officers are liable to the income tax. How
one law Gould fix a Governors salary al
$3.50, and how another law could copf1scate
a part OF that sum so that the officer would
actually receive less the amount fixed by
law is not plain TO the average layman. To
tax our officer salaries is no more just than
would be the taxing OF State or County
bonds. The State certainly has no equitable
right to tax the holder OF its own bonds.
Being a creditor, the State should have no
more right to conhscate or r%epudiate Its debt
than any other debtor.
Neither taxation OF State bonds nor the
taxation of ~salerles appear to be either equit
able or just. II the State promises TO pay
interest on It's debt 1t should pay honestly
and fully as any other debtor. II 1t promises
salaries to Its servants 1t should pay the
money in full.

Wrong.

President Roosevelt proposes q tax on the
tnheritsd estates. We are surprised that a
man like Roosevelt would discourage indus.
try, honesty and thrift by levying a tax on
IL. The recent warfare in South Carolina
againat the property Of people who. by good
judgement, economy and energy accumulate
money, is not entirely different from Mr..
Roosevelt's proposition to grab from q mans
children at his death part Of his savings.
Thoughtless but we'll meaning persons In
South Carolina, would appeal to the sympa'
thies Of those who spend their money as fast
as they make 1t. by attacking those who save
their money
Why tax one man more than another? We
all enjoy the same protection of the law
People who save their money, as a rule, do
not put the State to expense In Furnishing
them for unlawful deeds. The criminal class
cost much In expenses, but when taxes ale
to be levied they pay but little and clamor
for the confiscation Of the property Of their
law-abiding neighbor.
. The man who spends his money Is the real
tax dodger. The man who saves his money
supports the government. n maintains the
courts for the criminal class.

His in amt smiles we're given,
And then he babe farewell to earth
And went to live In heaven.
We cannot tell what form ia his,

But they know, for Goo hath told them
This,-that he is o at rest,
Where other blessed infants be
On their Saviour's loving breast.

ROOSEVELT'S LETTER.
It Was Presented to sultan of Nforoceo
With Much Pomp.

Washington, Oct. 26.-With pomp and
ceremony probably surprising that ever
before connected with an American
mission. Minister tsummere last month
presented to the sultan OF Morocco a
personal letter from President Roose-
velt. His account of the mission which
mas been received shows that his party
numbered nearly 300 and nearly 100
draft animals. The march from Tan
gler at Fee was made triumphal pro-
eession. the way being led by a mount
ed bearer of the sultan's flags with a
guard on either side. At the border OF
the district the caravan was received
with salutes and military honors by the
native chiefs
9he journey occupied = days
Mr. Gummere says he was received by
the sultan by the most agreeable cor
diality and the court etiquette was re-
Taxed to accommodate IN several ina-
portant essentials.
