Paschal Lamb. Christians certainly used it on
this day as retaining the elements of future life
for an emblem of the resurrection. 1t seems as if
the egg was thus decorated for religious trophy
after the days of modification and abstinence were
over and festivity had taken place; and as an
emblem of the resurrection of life, certified to
us by the resurrection from the regions of death
and the grave.
"The Church of Rome, also in the time of
Pope Paul " considered eggs emblematical Of the
resurrection
The practice of mailing horseshoe against the
Intel of door is considerd ehicacious in wardng
off ill luck if the shoe has been found upon the
highway. The Romans drove nails into walls
of cottages as antidote against plague; and in
Jerusalem the rough representation of hand is
marked by the natives on the wall of every house
while they are constructing it.
These practices and the later use of horse
shoes probably originated with the rite of the
Passover for the blood upon door posts and upon
Intel EXODUS XII, u formed sort Of arch.

English drinks have no great vogue in France,
but the French have adopted several of the Eng
lish words that distinguish them: gin, punch and
grog.
They have also taken the following English
words:
Light weight lawn tennis Irish stew, home,
handicap, ale, "all right" cocktail (Which the
French define American, not Englsh), bridge
and bridge whist, bullfinch, block system, ballast,
blackleg event, diningcar, destroyer, drag (mail-

In Italy too, may be the influence of the
English tongue. "High life" pronounced "hig
leef" has long been in use in that country, says
Harper's Weekly. "Lo sport" and I'll yacht" are
everyday matters in the Italian Kingdom; the
press talk casually of "il globetrotter," and Ill
reporter" and meetings has usurped the place
of all Latin synonyms; and in Italy gets its
plural regularly-"meetingai," like any other good
italian noun. An enterprising shop calling itself
"The Handy Things Company" advertises an ice

Some Easter Supefstitions.
By John A. Morris.

Some of the Easter superstitionS of the different
countries interesting to read. To the Ger
MANS April is Ostermonat or Easter month. one
peculiar thing about Easter Is that Easter Sun
day cannot happen earlier than March 22nd or
latter than April 25th but between these two dates
it has a range of 35 days. At the time of the
Council of Nice, 1876 A. D., 1t agreed by the
representatives present that from that time for
ward Easter should fall on the first Sunday after
the full moon, occurring next after March
21st or in other words, ION the first Sunday
after the full moon after the crosses the line
Since the above arrangement Easter has fallen
on March 22nd and ON every date between that
and April 25th, but it is only after long intervals
of time that it its extreme dates. In
1886 Easter fell April 25th, its latest possible
date an event which will not again occur until
the spring of 1943. The last time Easter fell
on its earliest date was in 1918. This will not
happen again for some time to come
The association of the hare with eggs is based
upon the belief that originally the hare was
kind of bird which the ancient Teutonic goddess
Ostara changed into quadruped Because OF
this the hare, through grateful recognition OF It's
former quality bird and swift messenger OF
the spring goddess Is able to lay eggs on her
festival at Easter time.
The ancient Egyptians first used eggs as sac
red emblem of the renovation of mankind after
the deluge and the Hebrews adapted the custom
to their own uses. The egg suggests the resur-
rection to life of vital principle which had Tor
a long time lain dormant. In his History OF
Northumberland" Hutcheson says:

The English Language.

If Language is a true measure of conquest as
has been contended, then Anglo-Saxon speech is
rapidly conquering the European continent.
1t is matter of interest to many to observe the
increasing number of English words incorporated
into colloqual French. This new but mild and
pacific form of English invasion has led to the
publication in Paris of list of words that have
become more than "acclimated" and naturalized
by general use in France Many refer to sports
and sporting, and in this group of words adopted
from the English into French are turf, trotting
Tattersall racer, maiden MILFORD, carriage and
gentleman rider.

WHERE DANGER LIES.

AS eagles that majestic ride
In far-up heights by sun and stars
Are only pierced when close to earth
Or shared behind the prisoning bars,
So souls whose only safety lies
Close to the source of life and light
Are only hurt by earthly shafts,
When bending wings from upward flight

DATE ON CANNED MEAT.
Mr.. Beverage Vainly Tries to Have
Resolution Considered.

Senator Beverage today called up his
resolution requiring meat packers to place
the date OF canning upon packages of
meat and meat products and insisted that
its great importance justified the Senate
in the closing days of the session in pass
ing the resolution.
Senator Fulton of Oregon interposed to
say that he had concluded that the omni-
bus claims bill should be taken up and
passed before adjournment.
Senator Warren reiterated his state
ment made yesterday that the subject of
placing the date of packing on the cans
had never been considered by the COM
mittee. Referring to the meat inspection
law, he said. it was passed following a
period of hysteria after the publica ton
OF book written by some fellow whose
name l do not now remember"
Senator Gailinger asked IL the senator
from Wyoming would give the Senate
reasons why the date of canning should
not be put on meat packages.
Replying that he would do SO at some
time, but could not while speaking I'M
der luminous consent, Mr.. Warren con-
tnued to say that although the provision
for placing the date on the cans had been
twice passed by the Senate. it was done
with a knowledge that it would be strlck
en- out in conference.
Mr.. Fulton renewed his motion to take
up the omnibus claims bill and 1t was
carried. The bill to place the date of
canning on meat packages was displaced
and can be again considered only by
unanimous consent or on motion
