Flowers are freely used as emblems of the Resurrection, having just risen from the earth, where they seem to have been buried during the winter snows. The egg was a very ancient sym- bol of the universe in the time of the ancient Egyptians. ‘Some writers claim that Easter eggs were first dyed red in memory of the blood shed by Christ, but it is probable that the custom of coloring eggs originat- ed with the Persians, who ‘believed that the earth was hatched from an] immense egg. Eggs are exchanged as Master gifts by the people of many’ ‘lands, and from, this practice grew the various sports with eggs, egg hunting. egg rolling and battling with hard boiled Thebunny came into the aster celebration ‘by way of Germany. A genuine Easter bunny is always pure white and he is supposed to hide the colored eggs for which childron search on Faster morning. ° The name by which we know the day is identical with that of the an- cient Saxon goddess of spring, Easter or Eostre, whose feast day fell in the mouth of April. Brazil Losing Rubber Trade. One of the most striking economic changes in recent years has been the loss by Brazil of its dominant positior fn the rubber trade. Wherens, a few years back, the world‘looked to South America for most of its crude rubber, it is now getting the larger share from the far East. The Brazilian product is obtained from trees,that grow wild, ag’ little has been do toward culti- vation of the trees. In Sumatra, Cey- ‘ton, Burma, and other countries mil- lions of trees have*been set out and are now coming Into bearing. The do- mestic product is said to be slightly su- perior to that obtalned from Brazil, and the trees improve with age. The fianancial loss to Brazil through its de- creasing exports has become a serious matter.—New York Times. Empress ine.

The evening will be spent with Mandan lodge in one of sessions for which Morton By BIDDY BYE. Offerings to the gods of sacred bread was a ceremonial many ancient religions had in common. Sometimes the bread was made of honey and fine flour, but usually it was highly spiced and marked with a symbol. Cakes of this kind were generally purchased at the temple gates. There is nothing more curious than the per- { sistence of custom, generation after generation, long after both the origin and the meaning have been forgotten. The buying of hot cross buns on Good Friday is today the survival of such an interesting custom. Everybody can repeat the popular nursery rhyme which begins “One a Penny, two a penny, but here is an- other verse which is classic by reas- on of its antiquity: Good Friday comes this month, the old woman runs With one or two a penny hot cross buns, Whose virtue is, if you believe what's said, They'll not grow moldy like the common bread.” It certainly was essential that Good Friday bread should not mold in the olden time because a portion of it was kept for a year, to be grat- ed up and taken in a little water as a cure for any kind of sickness. No such guarantee is given with the following recipe for Hot Cross Buns, which is nevertheless, reliable in every other way: Recipe for Hot Cross Buns. Mix in a bread bowl one-third cup- ful of butter or other shortening, one- fourth cupful of sugar, one teaspoon- ful of salt, and one cupful of milk and one-half cupul of water which have been scalded together. Let the mixture cool, then add one-fourth cake of yeast which has been dissolv- ed in one-half cupful of tepid water. Add two eggs the whites and yolks beaten separately, and .beat in gradu- ally three or four cupfuls of flour. Cover and set in a warm place until the sponge doubles its bulk, Then knead like bread, and shape into balls about as large as a dollar. Place in well-buttered pans and set to rise a second time. When light, make a cross on the top of each with a sharp knife, and brush with a mix- ture of milk, water and egg. Sprinkle with cinnamon and granulated sugar and bake 20 minutes. Small raisins or currants may be added before the buns are shaped. Ss Pythians are noted, and the train will leave on the return journey when everything is over. A charge of 30 cents will be made for the round trip, and all visiting knights are invited to join with members of St. Elmo lodge. COMMANDERY (MEETING.
