And He repeated the appeal three times,' as if hospitals a holy occupation. What rev- erence we should have for all women! How for many of us the remembrance of a mother has made strong the effort to be good! And no Easter day and no Easter sergice is complete without - The Perennial Pea. The perennial pea, resembling the annual sweat pea in habit of growth and form of flower, is a very desirable vine for covering a fence or screening a verandah. It is a native of Etiro- peen woods, but there are many culti- vated -forins differing somewhat in color. It has a long -tap root and is therefore difficult to transplant after it is once thoroughly established. It may be grown from seed. The seed is often slow togerminate. Germina- tion is hastened by' 'soaking the seed far a few hours in a weak solution of sulphuric acid, or even in warm water. After it is once established it self - sows but not sufficiently to make the plant troublesome if reasonable care Fe taken to remove the surplus new plants should they appear year by year. Although perennial pea bloom has TO fragrance, it is an excellent flower for cutting. While the bloom fades to a lighter shade after being cut, it does not become objectionable until it is -actually -dead. A bowl* of pereenial peas arranged with Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) makes a very pretty effect. The growth is so vigor- ous that one can cut graceful sprays with buds and foliage without risk of destroying the appearance of the vine. Like the annual sweet pea, the peren- nial pee blooms from early _summer until well into the autumn. There is term. h la pure white variety and several var- iations of pink, magenta, and purple.

Do tell is where your nest is, sis, ao we Can And it too!" -"Barbara opened her mouth wide, but instead of laughing she made a funny little joyful sound in her throat and shciols her head. "I believe Barbara has found a rab- bit's nest by the way she smiles," said big sister Susan. "I have found a hen's nest!" repeat- ed Barbara. Then she went marching round singing: - "A hen's nest! A hen's nest! A hen's nest full of eggs!" The children -laughed, and 'the next minute they fell in behind Barbara and marched and sang with her. They stamped their feet hard when they eaid "hen's." "A hen's .nest! A. hen's nest! A hen's nest full of eggs!" They had a merry time, but 'Bar- bara wouldn't tell the others where the .nest was. . Saturday afternoon she Went with her brothers and sisters to search the barn once more for hidden nests. But when they climbed into the big hay- mow she ran with her basket as fast ,asashe could go to the pigpen, if you Please! It was an unusual pigpen. The Patterson pigs lived in a tiny old logl barn that, had been built in the long age Wherrthe faiiii"-Zeas'lieW: The piga, could either stay insideorgo out into: the yard through the wide open door; as they chose. There Wes a rickety! loft over the pigpen, reached byerick-I ety outside stairs. • Smiling and happy, little Barbara, carried her basket' carefully up the rickety stairs and -walked carefully: over the rickety boards to the place in a pile of straw ivhere Old Mother, Speckle had laid a nest full of eggs. Barbara had seen Old Mother Speckle go flying over the rickety stairs one day, and that is the way she had found the nest. Between big cracks Barbara could look down and see the pigs below. She did wish that they would stop squeal- ing, because she would have to step over an open place where a board was gone above their yery heads, and, as she said afterwards, their squealing made her nervous. Easter: Easter is a supreme church festival, but all that Easter means, is not to afe • expressed in any religious cere- monial however beautiful and inspir- ing it may be. In song, in sermon, in floral radi- ance, in gay, new raiment stress is laid on the central and paramount idea of the day. For a miracle of resurrection is not to be thought of as the closed incident ef nearly two thousand years ago. It es to -day's recurrent episode. We marvel not that we must be born again. In every din, like the rustle' of wings, the stir of the leaves or the rise of the sap, there may be a fresh awakening t a enowledge of possibilities thee were dormant in his, which must now be realized in what we are and what we do. Easter tells us to put off the evil, shameful things; to "slough the dress of earth"; to supplant the old Adam with a better man. Its doctrine is that of trying again and again; its gospel is the comfortable assurance of a second chance, and innumerable chances after that. For what is all the preaching and teaching of Easter if it does not tell us that, often as we have tried and failed; hope and love, faith and char- ity survive and never leave us and never let us go? To those who are sad, or sick, or lonely, the message and the meaning of Easter in particular are dedicated. The day was meant peculiarly for them. Its comforting assurance is to every tired heart, every spirit that is baffled, each man or woman crushed and out of countenance in the familiar sensation of defeat. To all these spent and discouraged' ones, Easter says forever that in the worst of fortunes men have- found their stepping -stones to go onward and upward; the victory is never with the grave . of buried hopes and resolutions; and out . of Death itself Life springs eternally-. . But it was really Old Mother Speckle's fault that little Barbara lost her.balance and fell into the pigpen., Almost the' next thing Barbara knew she was screaming at the, top of her' voice While she climbed the high fence to get away from the pigs that were coming toward her. , She was covered with mud froin top to toe when her, mother came running from the house to lift her over the fence, and the chil-1 dren came tumbling from the barn to find out why their little sister was crying and the pigs' were squealing ,eo loud. "I—I fell into the pip!" Bargaral wailed.' "First they all ran away and then they all came back after me! Ol,! dear; dear, dear!" ."Never Mind, never :mind," said, mother, "you are safe and we can wash off the mud Ad 'have you as! sweet and clean as -a rose in about, fifteen minutes.

No garden small Or great is com- plete without a plant or a clump of the old-fashioned bleeding-heart (die- lytra spectabilis). A clump ten or twelve feet across, in full bloom, seen in the grounds of Government House, Ottawa, will long be remembered. This old-fashioned hardy perennial grows in hash -like form to a height of from two to three feet. The fleshy stems, which are well covered with fern -like leaves, appear in profusion from -the roots and gracefully droop outward in a symmetrical circle, producing a fountain -like effect: The blooming period is in May and June extending even to a later date, particularly in moist cool seasons. The plants at their', best are covered with a pro- fusion of bloom'the heart -shaped light pink flowers having a protruding white petal. This species is by far the most handsome of its tribe, and will grow and flower in partial shade or an open sunny situation. In the shade they do not flower so freely as in the open, but the flowers are larger and last' longer, and the folie.ge is more lux- uriant mid graceful, Whether grown in sunny or shady places the bleeding-heart should be given a very deep, well enriched soil, and if at all possible a mulch of some light littea•y material as soon as -the ground commences to freeze up in De- cember. When this is removed in the early spring let a good supply of well rotted stable manure or pulverized sheep manure be carefully dug in around the plants, just as soon as they start ,into growth. --Can, Hort, Council. Two Burimies With a Basket. Two bunnies with a besket, All in the April weather; Fell out about the eggs they had, And would not walk together, The wend blew in their ears, and then They chuckled and were friends again, All in the April weather. • - Easter Egg's Varied Meaning, The Easter egg in characteristic 'of many ritees, each Of which has invest- ed -it with a particular belief or cies, torn. When You Entertain at Easter.' Like Christmas, the celebrations of Baster all cluster around certain well- founded traditions. A very pretty and. jolly evening's entertainment may be developed around the colored -egg idea.' - For de- corating the rooms use streamers of crepe paper of all the bright Easter egg colors. These should be woven in lattice work to form a canopy, and from the centre of the room, where the streamers meet, suspend a cluster of colored candy eggs, each attached to a narrow, ribbon of the same color. There should be as many eggs as' guests. For the refreshment table use as a eentrepiece a large nest filled with colored eggs, the attached ribbons radiating to all sides of the table. To the ends of the ribbons that hang over the edge of the table, attach bunnies cut from colored cards and on each bunny write the name of a guest. The nest is carefully guarded by a white rabbit. • • - • When ready to seeee' the refresh- ments each- guest is requested to find his card, follow the ribbon to the egg at the other end, and on the egg will be written the name of the partner, the hostess having carefully selected the partners beforehand. . As a variation of the time-honored egg -hunt, without which no Easter party could be quite complete, try the following: Select two captains and have them choose up. There should be ,provided a nest for each side. At a signal the players begin hunting for the hidden colored eggs, but when a player finds one, instead of picking it up, he or she must stand by ft- and cackle until the captain of that side comes and secures the egg and places it in the nest. The side having the most eggs at the end of a given time wirlindfold the 'guests, one, at a time, hand them a pair of scissors, turn them around so they will lose their sense Of direction and request them to gather -an egg from the shower sue- -needed in the centre of the room, If they' succeed in clipping a ribbon the large candy egg becomes theirs. An egg race is lots of fun and is conducted just like a potato race us- ing colored hard-boiled or candy eggs instead of potatoes. Have drawn on large sheets of white cardboard the outlines of an egg. Blindfold a guest, hand him a piece of red crayon and ask him to draw in the features—eyes, mouth, nose and ears, Each guest takes a turn, fresh cardboards being provided each time. A game of marbles for the men, using candy eggs instead of marbles, is very amusing as., the eggs are so shaped they will not roll where 3-ou think they are going to and'-the,game. sometimes becomes very exciting to both spectators arid conteatante. Pretty souvenirs may be made by the hostess beforehand -as follows: Crochet a little square. Attach eight - inch lengths of ribbien to each corner. Suspend eggshells in these squaees. Fill with cotton end sprinkle with flax or mustard seed. If .these are kept damp they will soon be green and pretty.
