In the Oriental sports" of the early Chris
tians of Mesopotamia and other Eastern coun-
tries we learn that on Easter Day, and for
forty days afterward, the children " as
many eggs as they can get, and stain them a
red color.
One of the sports of the season consists in
the pitting of one egg against another, the
egg broken in the collision being surrendered
to the owner of the egg which made the frac-
ture.
CARMEL, in a work entitled "The History
of Customs" tells us that during Easter and
the following days, eggs boiled hard and
painted different colors, but principally red,
were the ordinary food Of the season.
He says that in Italy, Spain and Provence
there were, in public places, sports with eggs,
a custom which he thinks was derived from
certain seasons to both.

4 CHAPTER ON EGGS

The ritual of Pope Paul v. wlo reigne
from the year 1905 to 1925, reads thus:
sfBless, o Lord, we beseech Thee, this In
creature of eggs, that it may become Who'll
some snstenance to Thy faithful servants, ca
ing it in thankfulness to Thee on account :
the resurrection of the Lord"
1t is thought by naturalists that the eggs

average, very nearly third larger and hea'
ier than those of the hens of the ancient
Eggs differ good deal in weight, the avera
weight being about two ounces.
good egg is made up of ten parts she
sixty parts white and thirty parts yolk.

water. The shell contains about two per ce
animal matter and one per cent of the phi
pilates of lime and magnesia. the rest cons
ing of carbonate of lime.

Hutchinson says, in regard to ornamenting
eggs:
'It seems as if the egg was thus decorated
for religious trophy, after the days of NOR
tifcation and abstinence were over and fes-
tivity had taken their place; and as an EN-
blem of the resurrection of life, as certified
to US by the resurrection from the regions of
death and the grave. Not only do we find
this record of the use of eggs among the prac-
tices of the Egyptians, the ancient Israehtes
and the early Christians, but De Gebein in
forms us that the custom of using eggs at
Easter may be traced up, not only to the the
ology of the people of Egypt, but to the the
ology and the philosophy of the Persians, the
Gauls, the Greeks and the Romans-all of
whom regarded the egg as an emblem of the
universe and the work of the supreme divin-
ity."

The Jews adopted an egg to suit the circum-

departure from the land of Egypt; and it was
used in the feast of the passover as part of

The Christians have used it on Easter Day,

tions here worse than he had antici-
pated
The possibilities of further trouble
growing out of the difficulties between
the mine owners and miners" he said,
ARE greater than my information pre-
vious to coming to Goldfield had led
me to believe. have Just telegraphed
second report to Washington which
is based on the information | have
gathered today. | do not believe the
governor will declare martial law at
once and no serious disturbance has
occurred. | am satisfied with this and
shall not advise such action until it is
absolutely necessary. AS to the mat
ter of patrolling the vicinity of the
mines and the streets OF the city with
the regulars, that is procedure that
may become necessary at any hour.
Reports OF Withdrawal Answered.
The statement of General Funston
settles effectively the question of the
withdrawal of the troops from Gold
field. Neither General Funston nor
Governor Sparks will yield to the
pressure that has been brought to in
duce them to favor the withdrawal of
the troops before the arrival of the
labor commission from Washington.
There is rumor that a committee
of citizens has been formed to act as
