A whole line of trading posts could be erected all the way from Hudson's Bay to North Greenland. and theshunting field of the Arctic islands between. Canada and Greenland could be exploited. Here the big Geenland whale. which furnishes an enormous quantity of meat and oil. can still be caught.
 A very important factor is the drying of this food, if one considers the meth ods of facilitating shipping and trans portation, which is the most important problem of warfare now. It must be remembered that one pound of dry meat is equal to five pounds of raw meat so that one needs only one-fifth of the usual tonnage for shipping. The Central Powers have used pemmicar for their armies from the very begin ming of the war while many of the al lies are only just now beginning to use concentrated food.

Our Feast Of the Resurrection is a
mingling of the many feasts Of many
peoples. 1t had its direct origin in the
Festival Of the Jewish Passover which
Christians continued to observe ac-
c0rding to established traditions. At
an appointed time in certain lunar
month the Lord commanded the Jews
to make prescribed sacrifices and to
eat certain foods-roast lamb, unleav-
ened bread, and bitter herbs-saying
ut is the sacrifice of the Lords Pass

for salvation through rebirth. In de-
termining the time of the festival the
Jews and the eastern church follow
the old lunar reckoning which some
times brings 1t before the vernal equi-
nox. The western church, though 1t
adopted the sun reckonings-the GregO-

oning for Easter and makes 1t 'the
first Sunday after the full moon which
happens upon or next after the 21st
of March. If the full moon comes on
Sunday, Easter is the next Sunday
thereafter" This fixes the date be-
tween the 22nd of March and the 25th
of April. Twice in the nineteenth
century Jews and Christians cele-
brated on the same day and three
times during this century the dates

Emilianne gives the following de-
scription Of an Italian practice: ~On
Easter eve and Easter day all the
heads of families send great chargers
full Of hard-boiled eggs to the church.
to get them blessed. which the priests
perform by making several appointed
prayers and making great signs Of
the cross over them, and sprinkllng
them with holy water. These blessed
eggs have the virtue Of sanctifying the
entrails Of the body and are the first
fat or fieshy nourishment they take
after the abstinence of Lent. As soon
as the eggs are blessed everyone car
ries his portion home and causeth q
large table to be set In the best room
in the house, which they cover with
their best linen bestrewn with fiow-
ers, and place round about 1t q dozen
dishes of meat and the great charger
Of eggs in the midst. It's a very pleas
ant sight to see the tables set forth In
the houses Of great persons, when they
expose on the side tables round about
the chamber all the plate they have In
the house and whatever else they have
that is rich and curious, In honor Of
the Easter feast"
In the roll of expenses for the royal
household of King Edward I. there oc-
ours this item for a certain Easter
Sunday: "Four hundred and half
eggs. 1S pence. These were stained
In boiling or covered with gold leaf and
afterwards distributed to the royal
household"
In early days all Christians greeted
each other at the Easter time with
the words "Surrcxit" Christ has ris-
en) and the response. "Surrexit
we're" (Christ has, indeed. risen).
Even now in Russia, where Easter Is
set apart as time for paying visits
as well as for going to church, friends
greet each other with the old form
of salutation, the kiss Of peace, and
a gift of hard-boiled egg.
Easter Hare Everywhere.
Everywhere along with the candy
and hard-boiied eggs In confecttOners'
windows we see the rabbit. or more
correctly, the hare. He trundles
a wheelbarrow filled with eggs, or else
drags a single egg. Children are told
hares lay Easter eggs and are sent to
the fields to look for them. They are
also told that ''babies" come In the
form Of hares. The hare, the same
rs the rabbit, in symbolism is, in fact,
"the type of the moon itself across
whose disk endless numbers of Hindus
have painted the little animal" "Buhh-
ha took the shape of the hare that he
might feed his hungry fellow creatures
and was translated into the form Of
the moon and in that form evermore
abides."
Indian mythology says Indra, dis
guised as famished pilgrim, was
praying for food when the hare. hay
ing nothing but himself to give. threw
into the fire that he might be
roasted for his benefit. Out Of graf
itude Indra translated him to the
moon.
