ESTER
SOME FUN FOR EASTER.
.Mothers who are planning Easter
parties for the younger members of
the household will find the descrip-
tion of this "bunny party" prac-
tical and capable of being carried
out with very little labor,
There_ was a quaint old• German
legend of the Easter rabbit, and
this party was planned to give the
rabbit the prominence it has with
the children of the" Fatherland,"
All grocers keep animal crackers,
and will doubtless order a couple
of pounds "all rabbits" for the oc-
casion. Hide these all over the.
rooms and provide baskets oi; bags
for the spoils. Allow twenty rain -
rtes for or the hunt. For prizes award
a book about rabbits or some one
of the Easter novelties with which
the shops are felled.
The next thing on the programme
is a rabbit. race, The children were
told tostoop down like "bunnies,"
and when the bell rang to start to
hop to the goal, which was a spot
at the ether end of the room, This
is very: amusing and gives a chance
to award some more prizes,
Theca each childis livena half-
yard of ribbon, with which to nage
a bow to pin on a rabbit's neck,.
This may be a good-sized toy rab-
bit or it may' be managed like the
old-fashioned "donkey" party; on-
ly instead of pinning on the tail,
the bow is pinned on the neck after
the children are blindfolded,
If there is a blackboard the guests
mai be allowed to show their a ,r-
tistie talents by drawing a rabbit,
each artist signing his or her name
to the masterpiece. This will af-
ford amusement for another thirty..
minutes. Slips of paper and pen-
cils will answer if there is no
blackboard.
Next arrange chairs as for "Go-
ing to Jerusalem," and place in the
four corners of the room four rah-
bits, When the musk stops the
children make a dash for the bun-
nies, those securing the rabbits re-
tiring from the game. The refresh-
ments should consist of hard-boiled
eggs, each one in a nest of water-
cress, plain sandwiches, cocoa and
cookies in the shape of rabbits,
THE MEANING OF EASTER.
There is a beautiful superstition
which is believed by many, that on
Easter morning the sunrise is more
brilliant than on any other morn-
ing in the year -that ho who rises
early enough shall see a peculiar
radiance upon the Easter sunxis-
ing.
This may not be. Iiterally true,
but the meaning of the fancy is
true -that the brightest glory of
our lives is shed upon them from
the first Easter morn.
And what is the source of the
Easter glory
It is not the conquest of earthly
conquest, such as that for which'
the Jews were longing -the victory:
over their stern Boman rulers, ;
which should overthrow the haaigh-1
ty alien power, and leave the Jews
once more the dominant nation, in -1
tolerant of all others.
Nor is it for us the glory of tri-
umph over our human enemies,
though such triumphs may come;
nor the gratification of our selfish I
desires, but the greater glory of
self-renunciation, the victory of life
over death; of life -real life -over
the death of self; of victory over
sin -sin, which is but selfishness in
its multitudinous forms.
When Christ died on Calvary-
when Christ determined to die on
Calvary -the victory' was complete,
though not apparent to the world
until He rose again upon the Easter
morning free, perfectly free, no
longer even to be tempted by any
selfish human feeling.
Through thisdeath and victory
He makes it gloriously possible
that we shall attain to victory ov-
er self, shall rise superior to self,
that we may shine as lights in the
world holding forth the -word of life.
And if our lights are feeble, if
self still holds us down, the Easter
morning tells us that it need not be
so, that greater things are in store
for us, even the fulfihnent•of our
highest ideals. "
"Who doth himself in,) Christ's
grave lay,
Shall rise with Christ -on Easter
Day.
Who conquers self for others' need,
Hath risen with Jesus, risen in-
deed.
Who selfishness at the cross lays
down,
Shall share with his Saviour the
robe and the crown."
EVER TASTE A TANSY?
Easter was once the great cake -
eating festival of the year. and
even now the custom survives to 'a
certain extent, ,as witness the Good
Friday hot cross bun.
This is really a relic of pagan
times. Before the Christian re-
ligion'was introduced into England,
our Saxon forefathers ate little
cakes in honor of their- goddess
Eastre and the clergy, unable to
preven.i; the people` from following
their old custom, sought to .e :peg
the old' paganism, king them
p 5 by *nar�
with a cross.
Tansy cakes are s rl
1 made and
eatenin sotne parts of
England.la

not to anything, like the they;
once Were. Two or tirr o e litredreel
1 tGYw
years ago the poorest tables was pil-
ed high at Eastertide with "tan
pies," as they were called for short,
and it was customary -for the lads
and lassies to compete for the tasty
morsels,
An old verse commemorates this
custom:
At stool -ball, Lucy, let us play,,
For sugar, cakes, or wine;
Or for a. tansy let us pay,
The loss be thine or mine.
Tansies were merely ordinary
cakes flavored with tansy flowers,
which gives them a peculiar bitter-
sweet taste,
Simnel cakes, another ancient
Eastertide dainty, partake some-
thing of the nature of both a cake
and a pudding, with a alight sug-
gestion of pie added. The outer
crust is of fine flour, mixed with
sufficient saffron to
stain itad
deep
yellow color, while the inside re-
sembles a very rich plum -padding.
The cakes are first boiled for sett-,
eral hours, the baked.
GIFTS FOR THE DAY.
Easter is now observed almost as
universally as Christmas, and it is
quite the custom to send gifts Most-
ly in the way of flowers, plants,
candy or a novelty egg containing
a little gift. Books done up in white
paper tied with white and yellow
ribbon making very aceeptablo tok-
ens, In Europe Easter is the most
widely celebrated of all tore many
festival days. The people of Paris
"make to themselves the duty of
being happy," which we can all
surely try to do, and the best way
will: be to `ry to remember sone one
of whom no one else will think.
Easter is the one day in the ealen-
dar that calls for unqualified
praise:
It is a pretty fashion to be glad;
Joy is the grace we say. to God,"
1l'OR AN EASTER LUNCHEON.
The table was round and the cen-
tre -piece roost attractive, being a
basket of individual boquets of vio-
lets, from which a, ribbon of violet
Imo ran to each plate. Little egg-
shaped booklets with violet -colored
pencils attached were passed to the
guests before going to the dining -
room. A transposed menu was
written as it is given below, and
the one who first transposed it re-
ceived a prize of a violet stick -pin:

At the finish of the repast the
ribbons were drawn, bringing each
guest a bouquet of violets. The
bottom of the basket contained
'Easter eggs of white, on which ap-
propriate sentiments were inscribed
ivith gold ink.
RIOT AT PRINCE RUPERT.
Strikers and Force of Police in
Fierce Conflict.
A despatch from Prince" Rupert,'
B. C., says : A mob of strikers and
a force of police clashed here on
Thursday, and a sanguinary fight
followed. Pistols, stones and clubs
were freely used and the rioters
were finally, subdued. One of the
strikers was killed by the police and
many were injured on both sides.
The: situation is serious, and it is
feared that furtherconflicts will
follow. Forty arrests have been
made.

A despatch from Ferule, B. C.,
says: Secretary Carter, of the dis-
trict local, received the following
telegram from Vice -President
Stubbs and C. Garner on Thursday
morning:,
"International executive board
fully endorse the poeitiota, taken by
the district. Representatives will
be sent at once to co-operate with
district officers in carrying out the
work in connection with the suspen
sion. Deny absolutely rumors re-
garding nonsupport, Internation-
al will support to the full extent,"
This message signifies that a long
struggle may be looked for, All
movements on the part of the min -
ers indicate preparations for fight -
big at every point.
The attempt at I'assbur; to have
miners turn out 100 tons of coal
per day was the cause of a little
excitement at that place, but no
violence has been offered and this
is true of all places where men have
quit ww^ork,
A visit to Coal Creek on Thursday

lute quiet. Nearly all the single
men have loft that camp. Ono
boarding house which casually feeds
75 to 80 men is now feeding only tar

Board seems to have endorsed the
action of district e;ghteen, the next.
