The Zoo and Easter.

A province OF the ancients II that
Everything springs from the egg"
Many writer's assert that the custom
Of exchanging eggs was borrowed from
the Jewish use Of eggs during the feast
Of the Passover.
Others say that 1t Is traceable b the
fourth century. when the church pro-
hibited eggs during Lent. This gave
an abundance OF eggs at Eastertide,
some Of which parents gave 30 their
children, decorating them to make them
more attractive.
In Italy, It is believed that q scarlet
Easter egg, carried about the person
during the year VIII bring good luck.
The farmers believed that the land
over which an egg had been rolled
yielded plentiful harvests.

% largely used for medicinal purposes,
owes its name to a negro named ouas-

ana. who brought 1t into notice as a
medicine about the middle OF the eight

the quassia amara, a small branching
tree or shrub, all parts Of which were
very bitter to the taste and which was
used for tones. From Surinam It was
introduced into Stockholm In 1756 and

creased gold reserve the purchasing
power of the government abroad is

the credit in America resulting from
the joint loan.
This showing, after the enormous
expenditures made by France in Amer

since the beginning Of hoStilitieS is

purses Of France have bought 10.1l@.-
100000 francs of national defense
