Inc Robinson circus was the pio-

has grown to be one of the biggest

among circus folk as the college of
circus engineering and promotion, be-
cause it was with this circus that
many OF the implements and bits OF
equipment that make the moving OF
circus possible were invented.
The circus itself has kept abreast
OF the times and today it has a per.
1ormance that is composite of eve.

to have been the first to lay up supplies
Of colored eggs and present them to
friends and relatives at the very season
in which we celebrate our Easter holi-
days.
In the fourth century it was prohib-
tied by the Church to eat eggs during
the forty days preceding Easter, but as
the hereto hens could not be prevented
by this prohibition from laying eggs
there was always a great abundance of
eggs after the feast. They were given
10 the children, and, to make them
more attractive, were colored and 9TH
erwise adorned. This was probably
tho first step in the evolution Of the
Easter egg
Formerly at the approach Of Easter
all the henhouses in France were ran
sacked for the largest eggs, which were
England, under the reign of Edward l,
$50 eggs were annually covered with
gold foil at the royal court, and it
throws an interesting light upon the
economic conditions of that time if we
learn that the price of the $50 eggs was
Is. Id, about 27 cents in our money.
The use Of artificial eggs made of
sugar, chocolate, glass, etc, is Of mod
ern origin. In all large cities Of CHS
tondom the confectioners stores rival
one another in their efforts to turn out
the daintiest and most attractive Easte r
eggs. Sometimes they are of NAM
moth size and great cost. A few years
ago an English lord had manufactured
by n famous confectioner a gigantic
egg that was intended for his lady love,

Africa. This Easter gift was not less
than three yards high and one and one
half yards In diameter. so that a per-
son sitting on chair could easily
have space in the inside. The monster
vas filed with no less than 1000
pounds OF candy. An egg intended for
the lntanta OF Spain was manufactured
at Paris at cost of 10000 francs
$4,000. This costly Easter egg was
side engraved the passages Of the
Bible referring TO Easter, and by means
OF complicated mechanical contriv-
ance bird was made TO fly out Of il
and sing twelve airs from well-known
operas.
The record in the size and cost Of
Faster egg was. however. broken bv
one given some time ago to a famous
Partisan actress by one Of her adj
mirers. On Easter morning an i'm
mense van rolled into the courtyard
OF the house inhabited by the actress,
and on the van rested gigantic egg
made OF wood and decked with vel
vet. At the first moment the aston
ished lady did not know what to do
with this amiable. gift, but soon she
noticed in the egg a door, and, upon
opening it her eye fell upon a car
rage with two fine horses and a
ecoachman sitting motionless on the
box.
To-day not only the size of the Eas-
ter egg, but also the value of it's con-
tents play an important part, at least
in America. Thus, it is not rare that
an insignificant looking chocolate egg
contains as precious surprise the
costliest jewels, such a earrings, brace
let's, etc. Not long ago the pretty
fashion came in vogue Of making Eas-
ter eggs OF flowers, so arranged as to
reproduce exactly the oval form OF the
egg. For this purpose vioets and roses
are commonly used, but in recent
times orchids are being preferred, es-
pecially in England Thus, few years
ago London florist got an order for
an Easter egg of orchids, costing no
less than $1,000

In this view the Jugoslavs we're mis-
