Of Never did the world need the essen-
tial meaning and the spiritual slim-.
iglus of Easter mere than_. in this year
of grace. On every hand are those
s whom the state of the world dis-
c1, heartens, We are told if we listen to
s their lamentation, that religion has
railed, that civilization totters. on the
brink of ruin, that the plain, homely
virtues of faith and loving kindness
and mercy ep between men end their
fellows are dead or inoperative, arid
in this vale of tear: the mourners are
the most sensible of mortals, since
jthere is no reason to rejoice in try-
f Thing wo hear oil see.
To such an attitude of mind Taster
e comes as a shining and a beautifulre-
futation,.as an angel seen by those
who are in Sorrow round a tomb.
n Easter is not to he observed merely ns
ul• the commemoration of a triumph over
the grave, a victory over death, nine•
u teen centuries ago, it stands for the
jtler3 and the pitwer of a resurrection
_ here and now ---of a rebirth day, of
the springing of new life in this g]ud
hour for '�a confident tomorrow," The
meaning of the, festival is not to be
confined with the ceremony of any
sect or any ritual. It cannot all be
told in Mug- or in flowers or in the
wings and tiro of the moat eloquent
sermons. ft is not all in the glow of
the hour of prayer and praise and
song It goes far deeper than words
can Otter; it nachos the deepest cf
the truths we know, at the very hent
of our human lives, in their need of
that which is higher than ourselves,
and in their aspiration toward that
which is true eternally,
It is cads man's resurrection and.
i+ot that of Christ alone on which his
day insists forever. It. is in your
pewee and mine to cast off what i : of
the earth earthy, that holds us down
to the mundane
al
nd the material,
Easter rtes'• is the f •
needom and light, t the
g ,
upspringing joy of the emancipation
of the soul of Sean. Least of all the
festivals is 14 a time for selfish intro-
spection, for the backward look and
the unprnlltable resemhlance of fail-
ure and disaster, the sin besetting and
the shame disfiguring the pattern of
our human lives. It is, instead, the
time for the looking and thinking and
acting beyond and away from our-
selves.
As in the solemn and beautiful
jubilee we consider the lilies, and hear
the dishes connpated before sunset on
Saturday night.
For the cocktails one may ase
orange or grapefruit halves for cups;
or small glasses or sherbet cups may
be preferred. Allow half an orange or
grapefruit, Half a banana, a quarter of
a_ large juicy apple, two tablespoon-
fuls of crushed pineapple and a large
strawberry or a maraschino cherry for
each serving. Scoop all the fruit from
the orange or grapefruit halves, and
if these are to be used as cups drop
them into cold water until a little
while before dinner.
Cut' the pulp of the fruit into neat
dice, discarding seeds and membranes,
and mix all the fruits together.
Sweeten IightIy, dram the fruit cups
well, then fill their with the fruit mix-
ture and set on small plates with a
fern leaf or flower beside each. Cut
the strawberries or cherries in quar-
ters and arrange as a garnish on the
cocktails just before serving.
The roast of lamb may be either log,
shoulder or crown, and any of these
may be stuffed, though it will be nec-
, essary to have the leg or the shoulder
honed for this purpose. The crown of
lamb is a handsome dish, but I would;
suggest that the yearling be selected
for it, as the spring lamb is scarcely
fitted for this method of preparation.
In preparing a crown of lamb the
rib portions of two loins are used, the
meat being scraped from the bone be-
tween the ribs, down to the lean sec-
tion. Then the pieces are placed to
gether in a circle, ribs outside, and
fastened together to farm a crown.'
The centre is sometimes filled with b
finely chopped meat, in which the t
trimmings of the lamb are placed; but a
a very nice poultry filling to which a
few chopped chestnuts or mushrooms
have been added is very delicious for
the purpose. Such a filling may be I
used also in a boned Ieg or shoulder
of lamb.
Flour the ;roast all over and place
it in a very hot oven until it is seared T
on a!1 sides. Then you may pour about
one cupful of boiling water in the
pan, season the meat well and lower
the heat of the oven. If you have a
covered roaster you will not need to I
baste the roast at all, hut if you are
using an open pan it will be well to
baste it every twenty minutes at least 1
for an hour. Serve the roast on a
hot platter, garnished with parsley.
Be very sure, if your selection of
lamb is the leg, to remove all the caul 1
or fibrous white skin. Otherwise the
meat will taste somewhat strong,
Orange Mint Sauce is a pleasant In
change from the ordinary mint sauce.
Make it by cutting into small pieces
enough fresh mint to fill•a cup.
Sprinkle this with three tablespoon -
fats of powdered sugar and cover
with vinegar. Stand in a warns place T
to 'nfuoc for half an hour, and just
before serving add the grated rind T
of half an orange.
Creamed spinach' is a delicious dish
and may be preferred' to the peas
which are the traditional accompani i
msnt for roast lamb. Cook in as little
water as • possible half a peck of be
spinach. If liked, add a shred or two is

Pure, soft, the new lamb lay.

THE WRYOF r -r
BY JEANETTE. YOUNG NORTON.
- The rel'atienship bi=twe ri a 'Goo
Friday hoot erose -hue and an Easter
egg is rather a mystery to most of' us,
but it exists. The bun was an offering
to, and the egg was an emblem of,. the
ancient goddess styled "Queen of
Heaven," worshipped by different na-
tions as Ashtaroth of Holy Writ, Isis
of the Egyptians, Ishtar of the Baby-
lonian, Diana of the Greeks, Mylitta
of thee Assyrians and' Easter of the
Teutons, On her crown the egg was
used as an emblem of the world, sur-
rounded by a serpent representing its
materiality, also its immortality.
The' egg has always had to do with
things religious, used as` a gift at the
feast of the Passover, appearing on
the table with the figure of the Pas-
chal lamb; presaging spring and the
birth of new hope it became an -appro-
priate gift in all religious communities
at Easter time. Just when the idea of
coloring the egg became a custom
seems to be lost in antiquity, but the
idea has gained in popularity with the
passing years until to -day they are
made things of artistic and exquisite
beauty and are gifts worth having.
EGG ROLLING, AND T1iE 'LIKE.
The Russians
are credited with the
first hand -painted acid
ne eggs, and h
p gg , the art
became highly perfected hi that coun-
try. The Easter rabbit was a pagan
symbol of fertility, and on it was early
conferred the honor of laying the re-
markably decorated Easter eggs.
Many things happened on Easter Mon-
day besides egg -rolling contests, and
friendly egg knockings, It was - the day
when women might hit their husbands
and square accounts; but Easter Tues-
day the men could hit back, so the
privilege did not bring much satisfac-
tion. On Easter Sunday, if a man
met any maid he could lift her three
feet from the ground, i£ be had the
strength, and then kiss her if she had
no eggs to buy him ori with, No won-
der that the wives wanted to square
accounts on Monday!.
Hiding the colored eggs in nests and
leaving the hunt on Easter morning, is
a custom that is supposed to have
originated in Germany, The Ven-
etians are responsible for the so-called
portrait eggs. The eggs were blown
first, then a silken cord or ribbon was
run through the holes' at either end,
and the portrait of • a friend was paint-
ed on the shell to be hung. up by the
cord or_ribbon when done.
Coming down to us, the idea has de-
generated into the so-called dressed
eggs, or character eggs. These, after
being blown, are mounted lengthwise
on sealing -wax feat,' then a face is
painted and the egg dressed to fit.
Thus' clowns, sisters of charity, book
and play people, are all represented by
clever figures and are funny and most
attractive gifts,
One of the oldest carved wooden
eggs is in the British Museum in Lon-
don, itis hollow, halved and hinged to
open and close, and one-half is Iined
with gilt paper. St. Cecilia sitting -at

HOW TO 00L0R t)ASPER EGGS.
,First, boil hard as litany eggs as are
to be used. Now take two or three of
the eggs .and cover thein with bits of
onion. skiet and odd nieces of gay -
colored ribbons, then.. sew- each egg
neatly In a

Boil gently for several minutes, lift,
met into cold water until cola, then
remove the wrappings.
Or,,aftee tho egg is done up, put
it into bluing water and boil it, and
after it is cold and the wrappings are
off rub it with a !lightly buttered
cloth. This will give a nice gloss and
preserve the color. A bit of spinach
juice can be used for the green eggs.
Make the juice by chopping the spin-
ach fine, then putting it into a cloth
and squeezing out the juice. Add - a
little of the juice to boiling water until
you get just the color you want for
the egg. Beet juice. will also 'color
the?l, as will onions shoed into a pint
of water with enough flowers of sul-
phur to color it deeply. Boil gently)
until the onions aro soft and the .water,
well colored, add the eggs and cools'
until they are the right shade.
The Batik eggs are not hard to do.
First draw a design on the egg, then'
cover the design with melted wax.i
When the wax ie hard, put the egg
into the cold dye and let stand until
it is the right color. Then place the'
egg in hot water to smelt off the Was, i
wipe with a greased rag and the egg
is done. Little silhouette figures of
black paper may be pasted on a white
egg, then'the egg can be varnished
over and, wren dry and hard, you will
have a very pretty egg.

enough cc:oring to dye the eggs beau.'
tifully, if you lade other dyes for the
purpose. Gold or silver. inscriptions'
may be put on the eggs with fine,
brushes, or. pens, after they are dyed
and before they are greased.
While it is generally conceded that
the eggs are unharmed by the'llyes,
it is unwholesome to eat the eggs after
they have gone through the process;
as the she' -•l is porous, we do not ad-
ise using s g them in any way but as an.
aster emblem and toy,

THE. MIRACLE' OF
SPRING..

y To me nothing is more delightfu

r from the treetops. .They real'iy make
one feel that wtnter•is overland gone, -
e that spring has actually cone.
o But itis not eine swallow that'makes

It may be a spring. poen! or a show-
, stoe•y; and when, after, one balmy day,

Mr. The birds are returning, the trees
are beginning to bud, the green things
2 to come out of the earth, everything
typifies a return to life, a real resur-
1 rection. And to -clay, the Sunday -be-
1 fore Easter, makes us feel that the
fexpected is very near; for Easter anti
spt•ing arc words associated one with
the other,
What a day of expectation and hope
was the first day of the week so long
ago, when Christ made His entry'intc
Jerusalem! The people then, as people
would do to -day, greeted n new pro-
phet -with cheers and acclamation. In
their joy and excitement they` cast
their garments in His path and waved
branches cut from the trees bordering
the roadside. This prophet was to be
their king. He was entering tine Holy
City to set up an earthly kingdom, for
so they believed; and in that belief
they rent the Me with" their glad cries.
Even Christ must have been affect-
ed by their joy. Would He be accept-
ed, or rejected, when Hereached Jeru-
salem? He knew, as many an earthly
king has known, how little one may
depend upon enthusiasm. The plaudits
of a multitude are not to be taken
very seriously. Al average crowd is
easily influenced one way of another,
and composed chiefly of excited per-
sons, or those 'who have come out only
for curiosity's sake. Many kings, even
as the King of Kings, have come to
their'own,-and their own have not: re-
ceived them.
It is because the picture which the
story of Palin Sunday .brings before
us is so human that we dwe,1 upon it
so tenderly. It is old, but ever new;
just as disappointment, following ex-
pectation,is an. old but ever -recurring
human x
na experience,
Yet who' would not hope, even 11
many of those hopes should not come
to realization here? A man or a Wo-
tan is dull, indeed, who never has any
hopes rising in the heart, expectations
of something better than he or she
las at the present moment,
"Tis not what man does that exalts
mini,
But what than would do."
Truly, that is so, and without the
sp'irations that come to us we never
should rise above a very mediocre
&tate., Day dreams, air castles, ,call
them what you will, they are often our
alvation.
Some one once said contemptuously,
n the presence of a well-known Eng=
ish bishop, that some scheme was like
uilding castles in the air. "But where
olse should you build them?" asked the
ishop. "If they are not built in the
ir, they will be of the earth, earthy.".
Disappointments, will come; we mill-
et prevent them; they are a part of
ter earthly experience, .and I suppose.
eat by thein we grow. But better a
isappointment than never to have had
hope. And often, too, what leas ap-
eared as a disappointment may, after
lo
years, be seen as a blessing.

Beats the voices down;

Meeting the Easter Bunny.
On Easter morn at early dawn before
the cocks were -crowing
I met a bob -tail bunnykin and asked
whew the was going.
'Tis in the house and out the house
atipsy, tipsy -toeing, '
'Tie round the 'louse' and 'bout the
house a -lightly I am going,"
"But what is that of every hue you
merry in your basket?"
"'Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue,.
I wonder that you ask
it.
Tis chocolate ate e ' S an.

and egg's of lad and gray,
Ibr every child in every house on
bonny Easter Day "
He perked his ears and winked his .s eye
and twitched his little nose;
He shook his-tail—what tail he had—
and stood upon his toes.
"T mast be gone before the suis; the
east is g7•owing gray;
'Tis almost tinge for bells to chime,'
So he liippety-hopped away.
—Rowena B. Bennett in Youth's Com-'
panion.'

Most Easter eggs are made- of
chocolate, but 011 one occasion an egg
made of silver andiii old was presented
to Queen Victoria Eugenie -of Spain.
This remarkable, egg . was very
large,, exquisitely decorated with n'ar
cirri, and ,c. Ttained an assortment of
the choicest .sweets that the country
produced, By pressing a concealed'
button, it could be illuminated with
electric light, wliich revealed the beau-
ties of the workmanship,
The cost .of making • the egg was
0081' $12,000, and the Queen of Spain
commanded that it should be preserv-
ed intact. Her instructi6ns 1001:0 car-
ried out, and this unique Easter egg
may still be seen in the Royal Palace
at Madrid. •
