EASTER AT ST. MARKS

Centuries ago the Italians were wont to
celebrate Easter day by casting from the
steeples of churches mama in various
forms. In Rome cakes were tossed down
in this way to the multitudes and as they
neared the ground a scramble took place
to see who among the populace would be
lucky enough to catch them and thus par
take of ST. Peters blessing which the
cakes were supposed to bring to the win
ner.
An interesting tale is related about the
pigeons of San Marco. On Palm Sun
day years and years ago. the great doge,
attended by his official suite and all the
foreign ambassadors residing in Venice,
paid ceremonious visit to the Piazza
San Marco. The doge had with him
number of pigeons, each incumbered by
piece of paper tied to its leg. These
pigeons he ordered released from the gal
lery of San Marco, above the great bronze,
plunging horses and, hampered thus in
their flight, the birds fell an easy prey
into the hands of the throng gathered in
the plaza. Those who had the good for
tune to capture pigeon took it home to
fatten for Easter, but few of the fowls
escaped and sought refuge far up in the
cathedral domes.
The fact that the pigeons found shelter
here where St. Mark is supposed to be
buried rendered them sacred to the popu-
lace and from that time on it has been
the custom to feed and pet their progeny,
especially on Easter Sunday, when at Q
o'clock in the afternoon an extra supply
is cast to them, everybody contributing to
their seemingly Unsuitable appetites. Each
year this pigeon feeding time is anticipated
joyously by the nature lovers of Venice.
During the war, because of scarcity of
food in Venice, it was proposed to kill
these sacred birds. With their extinction,
would have passed one of the prettiest his
toric practices in the kingdom.-Ex.

reached the stage where it was making
glass equal to that Of England.
Glass bottles were first made at Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, in 1896, and that
city is still an important glass making
center.
There are now total of 34S glass man
ufacturing establishments in this country.
The aggregate capital invested in these
industries is $1s3,000,000. The value of
the total annual output is 5000, 100000
at the factories. To operate these great
plants requires the services of $4,000 oper-
atives. More than seventy per cent of
the glass manufactured in this country is
made in the four states of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia.
People first commenced using bottles
four thousand years before the birth of
Christ. The first bottles mentioned in his
tory were made of the skins of animals,
mostly goats. These are the kind of bot
ties to which reference is made in the
Holy Scriptures. Strange to say skin bot
ties are used to this day in Southern Eu-
rope for carrying water and wine. Ger
tain Asiatic and African tribes also still
use skin bottles for the transportation of
water. Many Italian peasants of the pres
ent generation use dried gourds as bottles.
The ancient Egyptians were noted for
the exquisite workmanship and design of
the bottles which they wrought from gold,
ivory, stone and alabaster.-Ex.

LESSONS FROM THE FIRST EASTER

Origins are always interesting. Where
did we get the name Easter? An old
myth says that long ago an egg of great
size fell from heaven upon river. As it
rested upon the surface of the waters,
doves came and hatched out the egg from
it rose the beautiful goddess of Spring,
Eostre. Hence the name Easter. When
Christianity brought the beautiful mes
sage of Christ's resurrection in the spring
time, the old myth gave way to the glor-
ious fact of the new life in Christ, but
the egg became favorite of the season.
Since from its shell there came the little
winged creature to new life, it was not
an uniting illustration of the new life
that issues in the resurrection.
The resurrection of Jesus is fitting
climax to His wonderful birth and life
on earth. 1t is the seal of His miracles
and His teachings and a proof of His
divine claims. 1t transforms his death
from that of martyr to that of God.
The death of the martyrs of the early
Church are Inspiring in their fortitude
and as an example 10 us, but the death
of Jesus, His resurrection, are hope and
help in life, giving us also an assurance
of life to come. The big word in the Eas-
ter story is LIFE. Christianity is the
creator and perpetuator of life.-Selected.

OWL you explain why Easter can
be changed-sometimes in March and
sometimes in April; and why the date is
changed every year?-A. H.
A:-At the dawn of Christianity, Eas-
ter synchronized exactly with the Jewish
Passover, which followed the moons
monthly changes. This was adhered to
for time by the Eastern Church, but
was soon rejected by the Western Church,
on the ground that the resurrection OF
Jesus Christ took place on the first day of
the week ("the Lords Day') after the
Passover, and ought, therefore, to be COM
memorated on a Sunday. After much
controversy, that Sunday was definitely
fixed in the 9th century to be the Sunday
between the fifteenth and twenty-hrst days
of the Pashal moon in the first month of
the Jewish lunar year, as bringing the
feast as near to the actual date as the Sum
day rule made possible. The ancient Brit
ish Church, after much consideration,
adopted the same date. Easter day is,
therefore, the first Sunday after the
Paschal full moon, i.e., the full moon
which happens upon or is next after the
21st of March, and if the full moon hap
pens to fall on Sunday, Easter Day is
the Sunday after.
Q:-Why is an unmarried woman called
a spinster?-L. r.
A:-Because women were prohibited
from marrying in olden days until they
had spun a full set of bed furnishings
and thus, until their marriage, they spent
much time at the spinning wheel and
were, therefore, "spinsters."
O:-Was President Johnson actually
impeached?-D. S.
A:-Yes. Impeachment consisted in
bringing him to trial on the charge of
misbehavior in Office. The trial resulted
in his acquittal since two-thirds vote
of the senate-the trial body-was neces-
sary for conviction.

FIRST FACTORY MADE
BOTTLES

Bottles, at some time or other, play an
important role in the lives of most people.
1t frequently happens that bottle is the
first object seen and cutched by wee
babies. Medicine bottles, standing on a
little table, are often the last objects seen
by people before embarking on their long
journey.
Between the milk bottle and the medi-
cine bottle there are sometimes a wide
range of bottles-both as to size and con-
tents.
In the absorbing romance of American
business, it is an interesting fact that the
first industrial enterprise started on the
North American continent was for the pur-
pose of manufacturing glass bottles. This
factory was erected at Jamestown, Vir-
ginia, in the year 1903. 1t was operated
by some glassblowers who were among
the early colonists who settled in the Old
Dominion.
During the present turbulent reconstruc-
ton era, when much is being said and
written about American manufacturers
going after foreign export trade, it is of
more than passing interest to recall that
little Jamestown bottle factory were the
first articles ever exported from North
America.
But just when this New World indus
try was getting nicely under way, along
came the famous Virginia tobacco boom,
which soon became so popular that the
glassblowing element of the colonists de-
cided they preferred hoeing and smoking
to blowing
II was not long thereafter, however,
that the Indians in and around Virginia
made it known that they much preferred
glass beads to bottles, beef, brandy or to-
bacco. Whereupon some of the progress
sive and far-seeing Jamestown live wires
induced some Italian glass workers to
cross the ocean and convert the old bottle
factory into bead plant
A few years later some promoters
started bottle factory at Salem, Massa-
chusetts The town officials of that period
were evidently hustling aggregation on
the lookout for the development of their
town. They Immediately boosted the new
industry by. voting it loan of thirty
pounds. The factory was not success,
and Salem is still whistling for its thirty
pounds.
During the time the Dutch were running
things on Manhattan Island, bottle fac
tory was built near Hanover Square.
In 1854, Dutch gentleman named
Bamber built glassworks in Brooklyn. The
first bottle blown by him, bearing the
name and date, is now in the collection of
the Long Island Historical Society.
Glassboro, N. j., was founded by
colony of German glassmakers in 1775.
But is was not until the close of the
Revolutionary War that glass making be-
came a permanent industry in America.
In 1887 the Massachusetts, legislature gave
Boston glass company an exclusive fran
chise to make glass in that state for IS
years. 1t turned out to be the first sue
cessful glass making plant in the United
States. 1t is reasonably possible that this
was the first franchise ever granted by a
legislative body. Other plants followed at
short intervals. In 1865 this country had

panies Take Loss.
LONDON, Feb. 4.--London has dis
placed New York as the place for ex-
travagant noise and merriment in the
festival season, but London has had
no apprenticeship and the price is be-
ing paid.
A tour of the hotels Of London dur
ing the season of dances and dinner
parties reveals the wanton careless
ness of the festival makers, and prin-
cipally the women are to blame. Per-
haps it is the sudden acquisition of
wealth, and the thought that if a few
hundred thousand dollars worth Of
jewelry disappears there are still
enough dollars left in the bank or
the insurance company to make good
the loss. Whatever the reason, the
cloak rooms" of the big hotels Of
London are perpetual display of the
wasteful and careless habits of wom-
en- of position and plenty.
AT dance recently held certain
society lady was reported to be wear
ing jewels worth half a million dol
lars at the beginning of the evening
a little later that amount had been
deprecated by at least $4,000 in the
shape of a string of pearls which dis
appeared"
Elsewhere - pearls again - another
guest searched in vain for her jewels
Judging from the appearance of
waiting rooms during the dance, the
wonder is not that some have disap-
peared, but that any remain, for lying
around, haphaZard are jewel cases,
fans that would bring enough for even
de Valera's ransom, shoes, cloaks and
even items of milady's intimate at
tire.
And now, when heads are clear and
the excitement over, the insurance
companies, whether they be the usual
societies or the poor husband, are
having the police out and offering re-
wards, or else paying up and trying
to smile to make good the loss caused
by pretty womenis carelessness.
That is on the inside of the rem
devious. On the street in England's
muggy chill the poor are trying their
utmost to make some sort of a living.
The two are closely related. People
in authority are anxious, The threat
ening crowd grows daily, and there
are threats and promises of 1ooting
the shops in London. Want and
waste meet on the street and there
