AMSTERDAM, Holland, May IA.
-(Via London) - The Cologne
volks zeitung, commenting upon e1-
pressions Of American opinion con-
cerning the sinking of the Lusitania,
says:
Americans are very prone to criti-
cise without any expectation that
such fighting woth words will make
any great impression upon those
whom they denounce.
War Not Popular.
"They feel relieved when they
have given frank expression Of their
Irritation. In America. however, war
is most unpopular. because 1t de-
stroys business.
There IL no need therefore to appre-
bend that America win join the war
against us, but It may be taken for
granted that the wave OF anti-Gernnan
hatred Will continue to mount still
higher. We deplore, but we cannot pre-
vent it. Anti-German feeling Is pro-
duct of agitation. It slowly mounted
and will alsO slowly subside.

Caster Bird
d. Stories o.


A great deal of bird lore is linked
with the stories of the Passion. There
is a Danish legend that as Christ was
suffering on the cross three birds came
and alighted upon it. One cried,
"Styrik ham! Styrik ham!" Strengthen
him! Strengthen HIND, and since that
time the stork has been known as a
bird of strength and blessing. The
second, it was interpreted, cried, 'Sval
ham! SvaI ham!'' Refresh him! Re
fresh himD, and the swallow was like
wise thought to be bird of blessing
But the third cried, "Puen ham, CTor-
ture himD, and so from that hour the
lapwing has been accursed among
birds The Swedish legend is the same,
with the addition of a fourth bird, the
turtledOve, which, flying thither cried,
''Kyrie! Kyrie!' Uord! LOrdD, and
it's voice has ever since been limited to
that single word of lament.
An owl, according to the Spanish,
was so daZzled by the sunlight it did
not perceive that it had alighted upon
the cross. But as night came on it
saw and, frightened, called "Cruz!
CRUZ" Gross! CROSSE as it flew away.
And from that moment the owl has
kept repeating this cry and has been
| able to see. only after darkness falls.
The croSSbill in an unsuccessful eff
fort to draw out one OF the nails which
fastened the Saviour to the cross twist
| ed it's beak and dyed its plumage with
the martyrs blood. Concerning the
robin there is a similar tradition, eX-
| pressed in verse, as follows:
! To the Saviours throbbing head
! She fondly strove. His blood. it's said,
| Dyed all her tender bosom red.
Since then no hand disturbs her nest,
No proving beasts her young modest
That sacred bird of ruddy breast.

potted flowers
for easter Gifts

RhOdodendrOns are being used extern
sively as Easter gifts. The beauty Of
the flowers alone would recommend
them, but in addition they can be plant
ed out Of doors in many places soon
after Easter Sunday and become part
of the shrubbery. No plants are more
gorgeous or effective. Even when not
in flower the evergreen plant is attrac
tive. The flowers increase in size and
beauty each year. Madam Felix and
Pink Pearls are two exquisite varieties.
Others are Abraham Lincoln, Delicatis-
sima ROseum Elegans and Caractus.
The fuGhsias grown in standard
shapes are attractive and make stylish
Easter gifts. Fuchsias, or lady's ear
drops, are well known plants of easy
culture for the home or shady situation
in the garden.
Azaleas have become nearly as synon-
ymous with Easter as the lilies for
gifts. The hardy varieties are being
used more and more at Easter time,
as they can be planted out and form
a high note of color in the garden after
serving their Easter mission. The
hinodegeri types are extremely hardy
and produce great masses Of very
bright, fiery red single flowers, making
attractive, snowy gifts. Vandercrusen
and Professor Walters are popular
Easter azaleas and are really among
the best and most popular plants sold
at this season.

Casters Date Depends on the Moon.

~e<o@S' UT ~lTS
1t is well known that Easter Sunday
seldom, if ever, falls upon the same
day Of the month two years in sue
cession. Indeed, it does not always
appear in the same month, for, while
it usually comes in March, this year
it comes in April. This variation is
traceable to the phases Of the moon,
Easter Sunday is always the first Sun
day after the first full moon of spring.
AS spring begins on March q, this
means that Easter Sunday never comes
earlier than March 81 or later than
April %.
