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 nl, blit 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: 0 Maul Castor Poet.

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. 11-1 u ■ ■ • w <Wee -ee.

A despatch from Ferule, B. C., says: Secretary Carter, of the dis- trict local, received the following telegram from Vice -President Stubbs and C.

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 morning" revealeehea state o1 abso- lute quiet.
