itself in the same spot rovr brought
to life again by the sun god So the
beetle was reverenced by them as a
sacred thing because it gave them
hope of a similar resurrection of their
mummified bodies
Among the ancient Egyptians every
soldier was compelled to Avear a ring
upon which a scarab or sacred beetle
was engraved The object of this was
to make him valorous in battle the
scarab being the symbol of regen
eration or resurrection
By the Jews the egg was looked
upon as a symbol of the duration oi
the human race and of their succes
sive generations It entered into all
the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalyptic and occupied a prominent
position on the household table dur
ing the paschal season The only
food laid before mourners on return
ing to the home after a funeral con
sisted of hard boiled eggs and salt
the symbols of regeneration and in
corruptibility
In accordance with the traditions
of the Persians the world was
hatched from one egg in the begin
ning at the season of the year which
corresponds with the vernal equinox
for which reason eggs are popularly
presented as New Year gifts by the
modern Persians It was from this
custom that the northern nations
came to regard the paschal eggs as
smblematical of creation or the re
creation of spring at the vernal
equinox
When Christianity usurped the
pagan rites and observances of the
Saxons the paschal eggs were in
vested with a new significance name
ly that of the resurrection of Christ
These eggs were at first colored red
in allusion to the blood shed for the
salvation of men
Gradually the Easter egg custom
has become universal over tne world
Millions of people eat their Easter
eggs on this great festival day cele
brated in remembrance of resurrec
tion but only a very few are acquaint
ed with the origin of the custom The
eggs are not now painted red only
but they are dyed all possible bright
colors Also mottoes are written
on the shells In European countries
hundreds of artists are occupied pre
paring Easter egg shells for sale
These shells show on their outside
paintings of landscapes figures and
even portraits Imitation eggs are
now manufactured which are to be
opened and which lovers present to
each other having made them more
precious by putting in jewelry etc
And when a couple is married at
Eastertide in Germany the wedding
rings are presented in the shells of
Easter eggs
In most of the German cities bands
of musicians walk through the streets
performing the so called Easter
Jayslc Wiien they stop in front of J

Mlfc
In every age the world has known
Some bard felt moved to sing
Earths pean over winter gone
Her welcome to the spring
The mysteries of the Easter thought
To all mankind belong
No time the perfect light hath brought
No race the final song
Yet art thou blessed Palestine
Among the lands of earth
For thee a holy light did shine
A glorious song find birth
He is the worlds that martyr soM
Divine as heroes are
A beacon when deaths waves shall roll
The Galileans star
W deem not that the flesh oercame
The graves obscurity
We trust the souls immortal flame
Hath touched on deity
We will not hail the Christ alone
The solitary way
God doth a thousand prophets own
This happy Easter day
We feel their all pervading power
Around us and above
We learn from springtime bird and flower
The truths or lite and love
One with the Christ who conquereth
One in the hope they bring
One in their victory over death
The first wild flowers of spring
One with the sermon on the mount
The birds sweet melody
Clear flowing from the eternal fount
Of Gods own charity
Then sing we for all nature sings
Sing Christ and bird and flower
Sing for the world with gladness rings
And life and love have Rower

The Easter Egg
How It Came to Be the Symbol of the
Resurrection
M5tOCjtOWiCiOCiOlAO
Ever since the time of the ancient
Egyptians eggs have been regarded
as the symbols of re creaticn This
idea originated among the subjects
of the Pharaohs irom their close ob
servance of the habits of the scarabs
or sacred beetle which buried its hali
in the grave it had made for itself
in the hope as they thought of a
speedy resurrection It never occurred
to them that the pellets contained
eggs which in the fullness of time
were brought to maturity by he
warmth of the sun When the in
sect appeared once more among them
hey were contented to believe it was

residences they are presented with
Easter eggs In smaller towns ana
villages it is the custom for the
school children to walk in long pro
cessions through the streets singing
the Easter choral and when they re
turn to the schoolhouse they are pre
sented with scores of eggs which the
inhabitants of the place have sent for
them in a big basket Very often when
these children pass houses people
come out and join them in the chorus
It is a fashion that all ministers
especially those in the country places
are presented with many eggs by the
members of their congregations
the original one they had seen bury These eggs are then given away againl
by the clergymen to the noor neonle
of the parish
But the greatest festival for chil
dren in Germany is the Eiersuchen
seeking for eggs on Easter morn
ing after church service It can be
said as a fact that there is no family
in the whole of Germany where this
Eiersuchen does not take place if
there are children in the home The
eggs are all hard boiled and colored
in bright colors If the weather is
good the mothers hide dozens and
dozens of these eggs putting them
in different places in the grass in
uusnes and llowers in the garden If
the weather is bad the parlor is used
for the Eiersuchen It is one of
German childrens greatest pleasures
to find these eggs and each one
found is welcomed with a loud hur
rah Very often there are added eggs
made of candy and chocolate
For grown up young folks also
egg parties are given at which Eier
suchen takes place Then girls and
boys exchange their eggs they have
found making love to each other -
Observances During Lent
Theer are many old customs of giv
ing or scattering money or bread and
cake at some time during Lent In
some places on Palm Sunday cakes
were cast from the steeples of parish
churches to be scrambled for by small
boys to the amusement of the by
standers Says an old writer Then
cakes must be caste out of the steeple
that all the boys in the parish must
He scrambling together by the eares
tyl al the parish falleth a laughing
Henry VIII ordered that the carry
ing of palms should not be discontin
ued but this was soon left to the peo
ple as a voluntary service and only
the more or less secular customs con
nected with it were continued Young
people in certain parts of England
even to this day go a palming on the
Saturday before Palm Sunday and in
certain rural churches of England
slips of the willow branches with the
willow buds which the American child
calls pussee pusses are stuck -up
Easter Sunday
The popular understanding of the
determination of Easter is that it is
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the vernal equinox This
although the theory must be taken
with modification iu actual practice
uecause ecclesiastical dictum fixes
the vernal equinox invariably on the
21st of March though this may not
be the astronomical fact because the
full moon is fixed at the 14th day and
because the beginning of the Paschal
moon is determined by the table of
epacts which only approximate the
fact Usually the astronomical and
ecclesiastical calculations agree suffi
ciently that the day is the same out
the contrary has happened

I OPINION OF THE EDITOR OP THE
NEBRASKA FARMER
Ho Expresceo His Approval of Amer
lean Emigration to Canada
During the winter months the head
of the family consults with the other
members as to the prospects for tho
future and doubtless one of the most
interesting topics discussed is that ot
moving to some district where it is
possible to more easily sequro what
i3 necessary for a comfortable exist
ence where it is an easy matter to
become possessed of sufficient farm
land to assure a competence for the
future This not only interests tho
head of the family but every indi
vidual member of it
Having before mo the knowledge
where he can secure a home with tho
expenditure of but little money it is
woll for him to obtain all informa
tion possible regarding the product
iveness of tho land in the country
that he may select For several years
past a large number of Americans
have removed to Western Canada
and as nearly as it can be ascer
tained almost all of these have ex
pressed themselves satisfied with tho
conditions that exist there During
the past summer a number of the ed
itors of farm papers throughout tho
United States made a personal visit
on a tour of in ctioii and the re
ports of these gentlemen prove inter
esting reading Mr H E Heath ed
itor of the Nebraska Farmer a
paper enjoying a wide circulation as
well as the confidence of its sub
scribers after giving some idea of
the extent of this wonderful country
says
Western Canada is the last un
occupied and unimproved good agri
cultural land in America available
to day
He then discusses its possibilities
for raising live stock and the advan
tages It possesses for dairying farm
ing and whsat growing and says
What has been said about the coun
try as to the abilty of the soil the
yield of wonderful crops of wheat
is quite justified
To quote further from Mr Heath
he says referring to climate
These people skeptical ones do
not know or realize that altitude
more than latitude makes climates
that large bodies of water both fresh
and salt that never freeze over ex
ert a wonderful influence on climate
Another influence on climate more
potent than those named above
which applies more to the Alberta
district is the warm Chinook breeze
from the Pacific ocem which Is GOO
or 700 miles nearer than Colorado or
Wyoming besides the Rocky Moun
tain range is not nearly so high nor
half so far from the ocean as it is
down in the States
In further considering the climate
of the Canadian prairies we should
not lose sight of th fact of the in
fluence of the rains the total aver-
age rainfall for the season is but 1335
inches for the territories and 1734
inches in Manitoba and that tho
amounts falling between April 1st and
October 1st are respectively 939
inches and I2S7 inches or about three
fourths of the entire rainfall From
the middle of June to the middle of
July there are over two hours more
daylight in every twenty four hours
than there is in Nelraska The main
reason why Western Canada wheat
grows to such perfer tion is the effect
of solar light or longer period of sun
shine it gets each day This is what
makes seeds or grain more perfect
grown in this country than elsewhere
This extraordinary rapid growth of
vegetation under tho influence of this
long continued sunshine exceeds any
thing known in lower latitudes
We do not wish it understood that
wheat alone is tho main product of
this country it leads in that yet it is
destined to become famous for its cat
tle horses and sheep and for its dairy
products We saw more and larger
bands of cattle and sheep grazing in
Assiniboia and Alberta than we ever
saw on the western plains of the
United States One band of cattle
numbering 5000 head were grazing on
the rich grass and sheen without iT
ber
The government of the Dominion of
Canada is still using the same ener
getic efforts which have been used for
the past 5 or G years to settle up these
western prairies and on application
to any Agent of the Canadian Govern
ment tho settler will be able to secure
a certificate entitling him to a low
rate which will give him the oppor
tunity of visiting any portion of Can
adas grain producing domain
