CONCERNING EASTER EGGS
What They Symbolic in Various
Countries-BIessed in Italy.

Countries-Blessed in Italy.
There are many superstitions in
connection 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 Chris
tians rejoice that the Lord Of life for
ever won a victory over death. Among
the many quaint superstitions Is the
old Aryan one which typifies the re-
turn of the sun of springtime by a
golden egs-eggs being 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 brighter time
ensue.
The Persians believed that the earth
was Matched from an immense egg on
Easter morning. The Aryans also
believed the sun to be a large golden
egg which was constantly rollin 9
nearer to the earth. .r, ...
With the Jews, says the Delineator,
the egg became a type Of their rescue
from the land of bondage, and In their
feast Of the passover eggs occupied a
conspicuous place in the services. 1t
was their connection with the latter
that finally caused them to be used by
Christians the world over in celebrat-
ing Easter-the egg Of resurrection
into a new life-bringing a message of
life from death, as 1t were.
The Tyrolese Easter eggs are SINH
lar to our valentines, for, besides be-
ing most beautifully tinted. they
have in unique lettering notices rep
resenting appropriate wishes for the
recipients.
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 a
kind Of altar arranged for the pur-
pose, surrounded by lighted candles
and often flowers. Then the members
of the family and any guests abiding
with them eat these holy eggs as a
safeguard against disease and danger.
They are hard boiled before they are
taken to the church.

The evangelist's afternoon was of an
entirely different type. 1t was not
lacking in it's spiritual value, but was
directed more especially toward young
men, to whom Mr. Sunday appealed for
real manhood" He had intended talk
ing on another subject, but changed
his mind as he came upon the platform
and saw the sea Of upturned faces
waiting for a message that might help
them over the rough spots of life.
Mr. Sunday took as his text the final
words of David to Solomon, while the
old king lay on his deathbed.
My son, be strong and show your
self a man." the Bible verse reads, and
Mr.. Sunday promptly added: Don't
be a mutt Don't be four -flusher--a
mere cipher on the sea of human en-
terprise."
