such cold spring since 1907, and its continuance makes one expect very late spring. This time last year the city had been actually some tima engaged in the work of thawing out the drains while the sreets were practically clear of snow. Ice had gone out, while this April it is stil. as if the depth of winter Late ar rivals from Wales who left since tho first of the month say that here is no sign of spring north whatever, and the straits are locked with ice across to Siberia. This leaves the ice no chance Ito go home", and it will have to come with a rush if spring is at all to come within a reasonable time. Old time miners say that even with an early break up mining would be late anyway az the frost had penetrated unusu ally deep in the ground and IL would be some time before 1t would be ready for open mining. They point to fact that on several creeks which were fed with springs, there is not drop of water to be had since last January.

 Easter Sunday tomorrow, is later uis year than usaal and j, is later than it win be antu I9t3. Origin ally observed by the Jews to comme- morale the Passover or Pesacn, when the destroying angel passed over the houses of the children of Israel when he smote tho Egyptians" t was gradually adopted by tho Christian churches as a festival to commemorate the cruzidXion anG resurrection of Christ The Jews observed Passover on the 14th day of Nissan, or the lunar month O. which the 14th day falls on or nexC follows the day of the Vornal Equl- nox. There appears to have been some confusion among the early Christian churches as to what date to observe, and the Council of Nice in 325 A. D. ordained that Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday which follows the full moon on or next after Vernal Equinox. The Equinox is fixed as occurring on Mar. l21, when as a matter of fact it may come as early as March 19.
 If full moon occurs on Morch 21, and that date falls on Saturday. the next day, March 22 is Easter Sunday, which is the earliest it can happen. On the other hand, the
 
 first full moon after March 12may not occur till April IS, and if this date falls on Sunday, Eastcr is oD- served the following Sunday, or April 25, the latest it can occur.
