Here the singer has his courses Of

Arts for polishing.
One thing that must be keenly felt
by Americans studying in Paris and
who for years have spent their money
and time there is the chauvinistic at
titude OF the French toward American
singers.
There are. il seems. 1900 American
music students in Paris. You can
count on three fingers those in that
number who will ever really arrive
In many cases their people are shaving

for more money. Yet those students
have no more chance Of Paris en-

days.
On Oct. 25, 1S66,he was married to
Margaret Kaufman and to which
union there were born eight children
six sons and two daughters.
He united with the Reformed
church on tho 9th of Feb. 1887. which
was during the pastorate of Rev.
Spangler.
At the call of his country, when
aroused patriotism like rolling wave
swept over this fair land in the
troublesome times of the civil war,

ians, who worshiped the beetle be
cause that insect was thought to have
the power of burying itself and ris
ing again. When its eggs were dis
covered the symbolism Vas trans
ferred to them.
The first colored eggs were vivid
red, typifying the blood OF Christ, and
as early as 1889 these eggs were the
treasured exchanges among all class
es. In the expense book of Edward
the First of England there is record
of Easter eggs, one item calling for
450 eggs stained with gold.
The Druids held the egg as a SYM
Dol of the sun and believed that it
hatched from itself the earth and other
planets Their priests and officers pro-
claimed their official position by wear
ing an egg encased in gold and sus-
pended around the neck by a chain.
The Syrlans believed that the gods
from whom they descended were mys-
teriously hatched from eggs, and the
Chinese go even farther and believe
that the world was formed from an
egg. From the yolk there stepped
forth human being called Poon-koo-
wong, who waved his hand, and the
upper half of his late covering, the
egg shell, became the heavens, the
lower half turning over to form the
earth.
The Easter bunny is said to have
been the bird which at one time drew
the chariot of the Goddess of Spring
and was turned into a hare. Every
year however, at the coming of spring
the hare remembers, and in conlmem-
Grafton of it's original bird nature lays
eggs as an Offering to Spring and
Youth it symbolizes. This nay be the
reason that on Easter eve German
families place nest full of sugar
eggs and real eggs somewhere In the
garden that the children may hunt
for them on Easter morning.
Another connection between Eas-
ter and the hare is the latter's re-
laticn to the moon Easter is really
q lunar holiday and In ancient times
the hare was Q symbol for the moon.
Numerous superstitions and legends
are connected with Easter day. the
Oldest and most widespread of which
il that which makes the sun partici-
pate In the general rejoicing by dane
ing In the sky. This superstition is
traced back to the days Of ancient
paganism when the people engaged
In fantastic dances 1t the festival Of
Osterr.
In Scotland, that land Of supersti-
tion, 1t IL said that the sun turns
around In the SKY three times on
Easter morning like . wheel and then
gives three great leaps through space,
ana 70 general II the belief that many
people still get up early On Easter
morning to see this phenomenon.
Many country people sill believe in
that ancient superstition that to SEQ

window on Easter morning viii bring

revival of the new day and fresh ac-
tivity, particularly of the coming of
the spring and the revival of nature
AS the Christian Easter signifies a
new birth into life everlasting, the
analogy between the revival of the
natural life in the spring after the
long winter Of bright and the resur-
rection OF the Savior is quite evident
The month of April was dedicated
hy the Saxons to this goddess and the
name, Oster Monat, is still used by
the Germans to denote 1t. The Latin
races Of the south of Europe and the
Russians have derived the word Eas-
ter from the Aramanic word "pesash"
(pass over) and Easter is called by
the Spanish "pascus." while the Ital-
ians speak of it as "pasque," the
French calling it "pasQues" and the
Russians "paskah." !
One Of the first policies Of the early
Christian church was the practice of
turning as many as possible of the
pagan festivals into holy days and
giving them = religious Significance.
Easter, the spring festival Of the
pagans, the resurrectiEg Of the nat
ural life, was therefore seized eager
u upon and made day Of rejoicing
signifyins the resurrection of Christ
and the hope Of new spiritual life.
In the Arst days OF the religious
Observance Of Easter the people went
to the church clothed in special dress
and the priests rscited humorous po-
ems and told funny stories. This odd
observance was 20 abused BY the peo-
pie, however, and so much license
vas taken that . few years later the
day was changed into one Of silent
rejoicing.
1t was not unit. a. D. $40 that the
nrSt real Easter hymn was written.

and it was typical Of the spring and
