easter Bird
d. Stories 1

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 himD, and since that
time the stork has been known as
bird of strength and blessing. The
second, it was Interpreted, cried, "Sval
ham! Sval ham, Refresh him! Re-
fresh himl, 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 accused among
birds. The Swedish legend is the same,
with the addition of fourth bird, the
turtledove, which, flying thither, cried,
"Kyrie. Kyrie!" lord! LordD, and
its 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 IL
saw and. frightened. called "Cruz!
Cruz" Gross! CrossD 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 its beak and dyed its plumage with
the martyrs blood. Concerning the
robin there is similar tradition, ex-
pressed In verse, as follows:

potted flowers
for easter Gifts

Rhododendrons are being used extern
sively us 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 fuchsias grown in standard
shapes are attractive and make stylish
Easter gifts. Fuchsias, or lady's ear
drops, are we'll 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
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.

Nor voice nor pen
Fer grand words spoke

And bring Christ's spirit with thee here.
That all may sing in loud acclaim.

Come hither thou whose day is this
The while men read Of heavenly bliss,
Given them by thee with promise fair
Whenthey shallclimb death golden stair.

When minds all meek
With good were traught
The steps have trod
In upward ways
The while toward God
