An Easter Myth.

One OF the most ancient and inter
esting Of myths is that which connects
the hare with Easter. The relation Is
much clearer than would seem pos
sible at first impression. 1t all comes
through the moon. Easter, as is well
known, is a movable feast dependent
on the phases Of the moon. The date
Of the full moon following the yernal
equinox fixes the date Of Easter. The
frisky hare, 1t seems. has also its con-
nection with the moon. The moon ap-
pears only at night; so does the hare,
which Is nocturnal animal and comes
out after dark to feed. Each little
German child is taught that il his de-
pertinent has been satisfactory white
hare will come quietly and hide col
ored eggs in the house for him to hunt
on Easter morning The practice Of
presenting eggs, now so universal, was
brought down to us from the ancient
Magians or Persians. 1t springs from
the old fable Of the mundane egg, for
which Armuzd. the Persian spirit of
good, and Ahriman. the evil spirit,
were 20 contend until the end Of the
world.

there were so many automobiles here
and the number was Increasing so
rapidly that there was a splendid
opening for another garage. The ma

and machinery needed have been or
dered. The garage will be located iE
the east end OF the main building or
machine shops. where the railroad
tracks enter the building. - II Is an
steel crane and pulley is here and the
largest machine can be picked up and
moved TO any point or raised to an
elevation sufficient to work beneath It
comfortably. Machines can be also
moved out of the way OF others with
this immense crane. The shops al
ready have the power and most OF the
machinery that may be needed in adj
dition TO the great advantages offer
ed by a large and flrst-class machine
shop and foundry. Mr. F1emming has
ordered a stock Of all automobile
parts and supplies that are likely 10

every mechanical facility and plenty OF
men TO do automobile repairing on
