necessary to all the members of the
human race, big or little, and nothing
could be more natural than that there
should be one at this time of the
year, when nature is waking up
from her long winter sleep to put on
new life. There has perhaps never
been time when there was not a

The word Easter is probably de-
rived from Eastre, the name of the
Saxon goddess of spring, and 1t is
easy to imagine that before our
heather ancestors were converted to
Christianity they used to have a
great spring festival in honor of the
goddess. With the advent Of Chris
tianity the same season, when all
nature suggests joyous thoughts,
would naturally be selected for the
festival that commentaries the resur-
lection of Christ.

Why Beef Is Tough.

A few points may be suggested with
the view of encouraging more intelli-
gent observation on the part of those
who have opportunities to study the
question, and in order to stimulate
the further discussion of this i'm
portant matter.
Lean meat, which is another name
for muscular tissue, is composed or
small cells or fibers, microsopical in
size, grouped together in bundles. The
fiber bundle Is a stringy particle
of flesh, seen In boiled beef for ex-
ample. There are bound together in
to muscles and the muscles into pairs
or larger groups.
The material which envelopes the
bundles of fibers extends between the
fibers within the bundles, and also sur
rounds the entire muscles. 1t is a
tough, fibrous, elastic substance call
ed connective tissue. Besides holding
the fbers and the bundles together,
it acts as a storehouse of fat about
the muscles, between the bundles,
or among the bundles themselves.
Toughness in meat is largely due
to this connective tissue and depends
upon changes in texture of the muscle
cell itself. which changes are little
understood. as in fact are all changes
in the cell substance of animals or
plants. The principal question then
becomes mainly one as to the effect OF
age, quality and condition Of the ami
NAL upon the amount and character
Of this connective tissue and upon the
texture of the cell substance.
A mature COW in thin condition has
ooarser meat, that is to say, larger
muscle fibers and fiber bundles than
a young heifer of equal quality-qual-
ity referring to fineness of bone, skin,
hair and general features, and to
smoothness of flesh. Coarseness OF
grain involves an increased amount
of connective tissue, and the increas-
ed toughness is the logical result

The Real Education.

Recently a commencement orator
at one of the colleges in this State
gave the following as a definition Of
education:
The preservation of health, tenn
perance, honor, honesty, the knowl-
edge Of our rights and their equality.
the reciprocal duties, the duties of
the citizen to the State, obedience to
law, justice, chastity, respect for the
liberty and reputation of others, for
contracts and for property, the prop
er definition of lying, calumny and
the like"
There is not boy or girl in North
Carolina who would not be much bet
ter of II taught the above rules. Ex-
anime the list and dare leave out one
of them in any judicious and wise
scheme of education. We shall never
learn to respect our calling and des-
tiny unless we have taught ourselves
to consider everything as moonshine
compared with the education of the

the rabbit Is all mistake, and the
animal that appears In our Easter
pictures and done in sugar in the
windows OF the confectioners should
really be hare, instead of a rabbit.
The hare has from time immemorial
been the symbol of the moon, and,
as the moon decides the time of
Easter, 1t is quite proper and natural
that the hare should be associated
with this season. In Germany the
Easter hare is almost as important a
parsonage as st. Nicholas, and its
habits. somewhat resemble those of
that much loved saint. On the night
before Easter a white hare enters the
homes of all children who have been
good and hides in all sorts of out-of-
the-way corners any number of beau
tifully colored eggs. Anyway, the
children find the eggs when they hunt
for them. and 1t would perhaps be
presumption on the part of any one
who is not a German to express an
opinion as to where they really come
from.
A rabbit is not hare, although
they are cousins. There Is one
marked difference between them. The
baby rabbit, as all know who keep
these little animals as pets. comes
into the world blind and helpless,
while the baby hare has its eyes
open from the beginning. and is soon
able to take care of itself. 1t has
been believed that the hare never
closes its eyes, and that is one rea-
son why 1t is chosen as the symbol
of the moon, which always has its
eyes open and sees everything that
goes on at night. Just how the rab-
bit error was introduced is not
known. 1t may have been all the
fault of the confectioners, who no
doubt thought they could make candy
without studying, nature. and there
fore never learned that there was any
difference between rabbit and :.
hare.
The use OF eggs in the celebration
of spring is an ancient custom,
for the egg has always been the SYM
Dol of creation and new life. II is
easy to understand why this should
be, for every one knows that all the
downy little chickens and ducklings
come out Of eggs. as well as multi
tude OF other birds that don't look
so pretty because they are In such
a hurry to get out that they won't
wait to put on their downy garments.
The egg had been used In the Jewish
Feats Of the Passover, and when the
Christian festival of Easter was estab-
lished its use was retained with an
added meaning, for 1t became the
symbol of the Resurrection.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1908-04-17

At first there was great disagree
ment as to the exact day that should
be set for this great festival. The
Jewish Christians wanted to have it
at the same time as the Feast of the
Passover, but others would not agree
to that, and the result was that for
hundreds of years different branches
of the Church celebrated Easter on
different days. 1t is because a part
of the Church did at one time keep
Easter at the same time as the Jew
ish Passover that the word ''paschal"
is now used in reference either to
Easter or the Passover. The question
as to the particular day on which
Easter was to be celebrated was dis
cussed in Church councils, and all
the learned men of the Church gave
it their most serious consideration.
until 1t was finally decided that
Easter Day should be the first Sun
day" after the full moon which hap
pens upon or next after March 81;
and If the full moon happens upon a
Sunday, Easter Day is the Sunday
after" No one is expected to under
stand this except the astronomers and
mathematicians, who discover and
announce to the general public on
what particular day Easter will fall
each year.
The only reason for mentioning
this bewildering decision of the
Church is that it gives hint of the
connection between Easter and rab-
bits. 1t must first be explained that

ly in lumber yards, empty freight

the course of a year will amount to
many hundreds of dollars, if not a
million.
Preceding Mr.. Towne's paper the
report of the Committee on Vagrancy
and Homelessness was read by the
chairman, Mr. o. F. Lewis, of the
Charity Organization Society of New
York. The report called attention
to the very inadequate treatment Of
inebriates in New York city. Way
farers Lodges and municipal lodging
houses, while great advance over
the town lookup and the almshouses
as places for sheltering Migrants and
wanderers in return for work done
or TO be done, are nevertheless not
cures for vagrancy. The committee
called brief attention to present de-
plorable conditions in jails and peni-
tentiaries. The total deaths and in
juries to railway trespassers through
out the United States were empha-
sized, there being almost ten thou
sand deaths and injuries to trespas-
sers yearly upon American railroads,
of which from one-half to three
fourths are tramps.
The causes of vagrancy being
deep-seated, the treatment must be
far more than local." continued the
committees report. A general move
ment throughout New York for the
betterment Of vagrancy conditions
was urged. The committee felt that
a compulsory labor or industrial col
ony for habitual Migrants is a neces-
sity in this State, as we'll as State
Hospital for Inebriates.
The report concluded by stating
that "in times of prosperity we evil
IDENTIFY have in this country an army
of Migrants; in times of depression,
which will probably come sooner or
later, conditions of employment VIII
be far more severe than at present.
Many of the causes of vagrancy, such
as institutionalism, child labor, In
adequate education, accidents, unwise
philanthropy, seasonal trades, dislo-
Gated trades, bad working conditions,
intemperance, vice and crime are
either being actively met by organ
izations formed for the special pur-
pose Of remedying such conditions,
or are recognized as serious problems
of our present social system. An
adequate treatment of vagrancy has
not been considered and actively ad-
vocated by any organization. The

It is several years now since the

nounced that it is time for Greek to
go. Its place is to be taken by prac-
tical sciences, modern languages, art.
music, and classical dictionary. But
all this fails to answer the query as
