ramsacked in searcIl of eggs. At the conclusion of High Mass in the chapel of the Louvre, lackeys brought pyra- mids of gilded eg~s into the cabinet and placed them in baskets. The chaplain then blessed them and they were distributed in the presence of the king to all the persons about the court. Tn some parts of rural France the priest still goes round among his parishioners to bless their homes at Easter season. In return he receives eggs both plain and painted People coming back from long journey at Easter always bring colored eggs to the children; whenever possible they have the eggs blest before giving them out
 German Customs.
 Germany has many beautiful East CT customs in connection with eggs. They are colored for the children who enjoy both the eggl rolling and the Who's got the bully''> sport. Some times instead of eggs at Easter an emblematical print is presented to a friend. One of these is preserved in the ,Print-room of the British Museum Three hens are represented as uphold ing a basket in which there are placed three eggs ornamented with repre- sentations illustrative of the resur- rection.g Over the center eggs the Agnus Dei with chalice representing Faith; the other eggs having the em- blems of Charity and Hope. Beneath lis the following verse: t, "All good things are three. | Therefore present you three Eastei eggs,
 Faith and Hope. together with l Charity.
 l Never lose from the heart 1 Faith to the Church; Hope in God 1 And love Him to thy Death" Tn the north of Germany, where the boys beg eggs as they do in Eng
 land they greet the people with the song:
 Here's two or three jolly boys all o1 one mind, | We have come a pace-egging and hope you'll prove kind. l | hope you'll prove kind with youl ] A eggs and strong beer t And we'll come no more near you l until the next year."

a T ~AsTER has always been consid-
 - cred by the church as season
 of great festivity During this
 period many of the pre-Chrls- tian customs come into play having been consecrated in the early days or the church. The use of eggs in con- nection with the feast is of the highest antiquity. the egg having been con sidered fin widely separated pre-Cnrls- tian mythologies as symbol of resur- rection.
 ,LbnE ago eggs were held by the Egyptians as a sacred emblem of the renovation of mankind after the Delure. Indeed, from the remotest ages the egg has been looked upon as a symbol of creation or new birth. According to the Persians the world swss matched from an egg at that sea- son of the year, which represents the vernal euuinox. Hence the Persians always exchanged gifts of eggs during the spring season wHen their New Year festivities were enjoyed. This festival lasts several days. They be- sHeyed that the xernal equinox was the triumphlof the Sun of nature and ~~AA things just as the Christians celebrate Easter as the triumph of the Saviour of the, world over death by His Resur- rection. Among the Jews the egg en- tered into all the mysterious, cere- monies called apocalyptic and oc- cupied prominent position on the household table during the paschal season. They believe them to be symbolic of the renewal of life.
 In the early days the feast of eggs was sometimes continued for many days after Easter during which time a game called the sport of eggs was played This was a common custom with the early Christians of Mesopo- tania. Long before Easter the eggs were collected and stained red in memory of the blood of Christ shed at the time of His Crucifixion.
 Origin Of ssWho's Got The Bully" The stained eggs were sold in the

 The importation from Japan has in- creased in late years on account of disease which has materially affected the lily trade in Bermuda. The best foreign bulbs we are at present inn porting are coming to us from Okaima and other islands of Japan, which are fairly free from disease. These is- lands are three hundred miles from the mainlands and never experience frost because thdy are surrounded by warm water somewhat similar to our Gulf Stream, thus attaining the climatic condition desirable for the culture of the favorite Easter blos- som.s
 Satisfactory Results Almost Certain. ! A talk with some of the authorities on Easter lily culture in the United States, as it is being carried on by the Department of Agriculture, gave val- uable information on the subject. Ex- periments made at the Department show that growers following the meth ods tested out here and proven to be the best. can attain satisfactory and profitable results. Trial planting in various sections of this country has demonstrated that many are too severe for Easter lily propa gation. but the Department has found that Gen. tral and Northern Florida, some parts of Mississippi and of Texas but espe- cially Southern California, offer ideal conditions for their culture.
 The lilies do best, grow and multi ply most rapidly where there is no severe frost. Better Easter lilies, the Department of Agriculture claims, are grown in Southern California than anywhere else in the world
