:! the origin of the pretty fashion. The interest in the Easter-egg dates fal back into history, and it's significance is that eggs typify re-birth. That is the reason for their connection with Easter.
 There are many superstitions in con- nection with Easter, and each country has a custom of celebrating it peculiar to itself, but while each varies, they all unite to observe the spirit of Springtime, and all Christians rejoice tory over death. Among the many quaint supersttions is the old Aryan one which typifies the return of the springtime by a golden egg-eggs be- ing distributed at the early equinox by priests to strengthen the hopes of the people that the bleak, cold days of Winter might soon cease and a brighter time ensue.
 The Persians believed that the earth was matched from an immense egg on Easter morning; the Aryans also be- lieved the sun to be a large golden egg which was constantly rolling nearer to the earth.
 With the Jews, says the April De- lineatOr, the egg became a type of their rescue from the land of bondage, ;,, Ff Io Do eggs occupied a conspicuous place in the services. l- was their connection with the latter that finally caused them to be used by Christians the world over in celebrating Easter-the egg of resurrection into a new life, bring ing a message of life from death, as it were.
 The Tyrolese Easter egg is similar to our valentines, for besides being most beautifully tinted they have, in unique lettering, notices representing appropriate wishes for the recipient.
 The priests of Italy bless all eggs brought to service on Easter morning and each person carries his back home, where they are placed on q kind of altar arranged for the purpose, surrounded by lighted candles and of ten flowers; then each member of the family and any guests abiding with them, eat one of these holy eggs as a safeguard against disease and danger. They are hard-boiled before being talk en to church.

workers and philanthropists should take heed that in their enthusiasm for betterment of economic and social con- ditions they absorb no dangerous soci- alistic or anarchistc beliefs.
 The latest move was made by Pres ident Roosevelt in his message last Thursday to congress, in which he an nounced that everything permissible under the present law would be done to stamp out anarchy, and asking con- 2res to pass other laws which would enable the authorities to lay hold of the anarchist with a frmer grip than at present.
 There is no room in the United States for anarchy, and the govern ment should be put in position to deal with effectively. It should be stamp el ont as quickly as possible

Too Slow to Be a Soldier.

In room on the top floor of a large
factory boy was amusing himself by
going through the bayonet exercise
with a long handled brush in lieu Of a
rife. His boss, coming quickly upon
him, gave him a box on the ear for
wasting his time. The sudden blow
caused the lad to lose his balance and
fall down the hoist shaft, but fortu-
nately he kept his hold on the brush.
the handle of which. getting across the
shaft, broke his fall and enabled him
to grasp the chain, down which he slid
in safety. The boss was Mortified at
the effect of his action and rushed
breathless and gasping with fear down
the eight-fights of stairs to the base
ment, expecting to find manSled
body for which he would have to ac-
count He was, however, just in time
to see the lad drop on his feet I'M
harmed, so, recovering his self pos
session and his breath, he exclaimed:
Want to be Il soldier, Ell? Well,
you're too slow for that. Why, man,
can walk down all those stairs quick
err than you can fall down the hoist
shaft."-London Answers.

German Aumor.

The tendency of the German comic
papers to employ continuously the
same characters as producers Of
mirth" is the subject of an article in a
Berlin paper by Ludwig Bauer. The
writer mentions as the most conSpicu
Gus of the funny figures the absent
minded professor whose habitual UNI
brella losing proclivties have made
generations laugh. This figure had its
origin at a time. he says, when the
man of letters was a helpless person
In the active world-a dreamer dwell
ing in realms away from the actual
and therefore blind to his surround
ings. In this form he has been rep
resented in the comic papers. But
Germany, he thinks, not the professor
has been and is being caricatured. The
professor today must be wide awake
man, for science is uo longer an is
land. These are not the days for sleep
and for dreams. Another abused char
acter is the lieutenant who, having no
foe to fight. is always shown as max
ing conQuests where Amor has com
mand The old maid is another of the
stock figures, and one of equal .mpor-
lance is Mr.. Newlyrich OF the latter
it is said: He is always full of fear
and suspicion He knows that he has
been misplaced. and he sways from
side to side like timid rope walker
This makes him really funny, and we
must laugh at his antics"

nomination of a presidential candi-

Though some of the Illinois back
ers of Speaker Cannon the other
day solemnly resolved that the fight
is between Taft and the field" it is
much more likely that the fight
will settle down before the conven-
ton meets into fight between Taft
and Hughes, with the other state
favorites holding out their delega-
