Why We Have Eggs at Easter.

Washington GLADDEN., writing about
the history OF Easter in the March Wom-
ans Home Companion, shows how eggs
have been connected with Easter from
the earliest days. DIR. Gladden's explain
alton of the origin of the custom OF
using eggs on Easter follows:
probably the fact that the egg holds,
shut up in itself, the elements of future
lifc.--a life which may long be dormant
and then come forth into vigor and
beauty. into consciousness and actN-
ity,-made it a proper symbol OF the
resurrection. But of all the millions,
who have decorated eggs at the Easter
season or played with them as pretty
toy, or fed upon them as a deiicacy, very
few have ever stopped to re.
fleet upon the profound meaning of the
emblem. In my own boyhood break
fast of eggs was one of the unwritten
regulations of Easter Sunday; the main
question with the boys was the number
per capita that could be consumed.
Among us there was none OF that dainty
decoration with dyes and pigments
which has given so much pleasure in old
times and new. This fashion, in the
opinion OF an old writer, arose among
the Christians from the JOY occasioned
bv their returning to their favorite food,
after so long an abstinence from them
during Lent This is not impossible. for
the erg was formerly counted as flesh
and denied to good Christians during the
Lenten season.

Barre People Should Not Wait Until

1t is 100 Late.
The appalling death-rate from kidney

the little kidney troubles are usually
neglected until they become serious. The
slight symptoms often give place to
chronic disorders and the sufferer may

tions are irregular of passage and I'M

The Turks first captured Constants
nople May 20, 1853. At that time the
city was the sole remnant OF the great
eastern empire of the Romans. Before

once Roman territory in Asia and ruled
as far as the straits before the city OF
Consta ntinople. The first sultan to
cross over into Europe was Amurath l..
who occupied Adrianople in 1860. Dur

overran southeastern Europe and
eventually overcame the desperate re-
sistance OF the Greeks and CONSTANT
