greeting Tin red ink: "Hello!" was
the inscription.
A German housemaid, being very
fond of her mistress little children
and wishing to add bit of homely
cheer to their Easter tide, decided to
follow a quaint and pretty custom OBJ
served in many provinces of Germany.
Early on Easter mOrning-before one
of the family was astir-She stole out
on the lawn and hid little nests
(which she had secretly made during
her spare hours) under shrubs, trees,
behind vines and flower pots and in
every conceivable corner of the yard.
In these nests, fashioned of straw,
twigs and Irvine, she placed the fresh
est of eggs, which were to be cooked
for Easter breakfast. And the cook
ing was done out of doors in kettle
placed over a rude camp fire for the
purpose.
When the family came down stairs
the German maid told them that the
Easter rabbits had been in the grounds
the previous night and that if the chill
dren would hunt about the yard they
would find fresh eggs for breakfast
left there for them by the snowwhite
rabbits.
Eagerly the little ones, accompanied
by their parents, who were as full of
happy anticipation as the children, ran
into the grounds about the house hunt
ing for the eggs the rabbits had
brought. Screams of delight and joy
Gus laughter followed the finding of
the nests, which were quickly robbed
of their contents. Then to the steam

to whom we gave our worship in our
youth. We have lived beside them
and seen their deathless effort, their
far-reaching aspiration, their virtue,
strength, wisdom, power, light-all
the persistent heroism of the soul.
And then, when the highest station
had been reached, when the noblest
song was quivering at last upon their
triumphant lips, we've seen it all end.
Virtue, strength, wisdom, power,
light, all vanished! Nothing left but
dust to dust, ashes to ashes, rotten
ness to mother earth. And, seeing all
this, the resurrection is not a fading
memory to such souls, 0, no! it
stands for a desperate hope. There
must be something beyond. Some
where, sometime these shall Iva
again.
But to the Christian, to that happy
man whom Jesus has found, the resur-
rection is not memory and not a
hope; he forgets both of these in his
joy in its present reality. The Easter
assurance of Immortality is not far.

Commander of Warship Tells In
Graphic Fashion of Experiences
During the Fighting at Tsu-

Capt. Vladimir Semenoff of the Rus

great naval battle of Tsushima in the
war with Japan, writes of his expe-
riences recently in a published vol
ume. He was on board the Suvoroff,
the Russian flagship. Capt. Semen
off tells of "the stupor which seems to
come over men who have never been
in action before when the first shells
begin to fall. A stupor which turns
easily and instantaneously at the
most insignificant external shot into
either uncomfortable panic or into
unusually high spirits, depending on
the mans character" After the SUI

angrily, and started to go down the
ladder, not realizing what had hap
pened. When a small splinter had
wounded him in the waist at the be-
ginning of the fight it had hurt him,
''but at this time I had felt nothing"
he writes. Later, in the hospital,

Rojestvensky behaved well. Capt.
Semenoff says that, although wounded
in the head, back and right leg, be-
sides several small splinter wounds,
the Russian admiral bore himself most
cheerfully, going off to look for a
place from which he could watch the
fight. Proceeding to the starboard
turret he received another wound,
which caused him much pain. A
splinter struck his left leg, severing
the main nerve and paralyzing the
ball of the foot He was carried into

had sufficient strength at once to
ask why the turrent was not firing.

For the Children at Easter.

Hunting the nest of the Easter rab.
bit is looked forward to in Germany
by the children with the same eager.
ness as our little ones hang up their
stockings at Christmas.
While the chicken shares the hon
ors with the rabbit, it is always the
latter who sitS on the nest for which
the children hunt with such avidity.
The parents hide this nest with great
care, so often the entire morning is
consumed before it is discovered with
the treasured eggs, each containing
gift. Some Of the eggs are made OF
cotton; others are the real shells care

LIGHTS TO BE CHEAP.
Incandescent Lamps Will Cost But
One-third of Present Price.

New York. Jan. 15.-Prof. Herschel
Clifford Parker and Walter c. Clark
explained in their Columbia university
laboratory the workings of the mean
descent lamp which they have invent
ed. with their helion filament they
expect to shave electric lighting down
to one-third its present cost.
Prof Parker, who is professor of
physics al Columbia. and Mr.. Clark.
who is an electrical engineer, have
elaborated for several years in an eff
fort to find a better medium than
carbon. The substance which they
have named helion is the result. The
helion filament is composed largely of
silicon. The other ingredients have
not been oivulged. They are deposited
from gas on a thread of carbon.
If immediate manufacture were at
tempted. the helion lamp would cost
10 cents mere than the other. but it is
hoped to reduce the cost and mean
while the lamp is expected to last
operating with so much less current.
Less than year ago DR.. Siemann a
German. announced that he had made
a ilament of tantalum. 1t consumed
but 10 watts per candle power and
was called ''the most startling advance
in electric lighting invention since the
pioneer work of Edison" Then Dr.
KuEel announced from Germany that
he had found the ideal f1lament in
tungsten, ana(her scarce metal. 1t
consumed 1-2 watts per candle. Now
the Columbian men say that 1 watt
per candle has been reached in helion
which is not metal and can be
manufactured in unlimited quantities.
