Raster is the festival commemorating the resurrection of Christ, ob-|| served in the Roman Catholic. the 1 Greek, Angelicas, Lutheran and oth-: or branches of th?- Christian church ;; The first Christians considered i* a v oi/Lipimnce of the feast of the pass j , over, at which the Paschal lamb, a , | type of Christ, was sacrificei. Hence!< its name in Greek (Pascha), French i \ tPjujues), and other romntic.' langu-it ages corner from the Hebrew {$ "Pesaeh," passover. The English name ccmes from the Ajiglu-Saxon, ( "Ec^tre," a goddess of light or of I t spring1, whose festival was celebrated in April. There was for a long lime i ? for holding Raster, the Christians of v the East celebrating it on tho same i <i day as that on, which the Jewish pass- j ? over fell, that is, thi fourteenth of | Nisan, while the majority cf the' *() church celebrated it on the Sunday j Q following this day. This controversy 1 a was settled by the Council of Nice in s 325, which settled Lhat it was to be I r reckoned as at present, namely, that J j. Raster is the first Sunday after th.-js full moon which happens upon, or next after the 21 si of March, and if ' the full moon happen:-; upon n Sun-i lay, tc-r day will he on the Shn-1 ( day after, hut properly speaking for'* the "full moon in the above the j' fourteenth day of the moon should' be? substituted. The word "Easter '' * like the luinies <>f ! he days of the I 1 week : a survival from the old Teu-i 1 tonic mythology, According to Bcde it i:, derived from Sdstre, the Ajjgh) Sn\on jrodd ess of - iwiisr, t ? whom j the Couth month, answering to ourjjj April - thOn caller Kosturo-moniit h j 1 was dedicated. This month, Bede ' informs us, was the same as the I "me a sis Pasrhulis5' when "the old festival was observed with the glmiiji noss of a new solfemnity," ' There is no trace of the eeicbra-', 1 tion of Easter as a Christian festi- i val in the New Testament or in the!' writings of the Apostolic fathers. The ! I sanctity of special times or placesI I wax an idea quite alien from the early Christian mind, too profound- j i iv aosorneu in crte events tiwmseiycs j : t othink t>i* their external accidents. 11 Says Chrysostom, commenting on the ' < passage I Cor. v 7: "The whole of j : time is a festival unto Christians be ; cause of the excellency of the good < things which have been given." This j 1 at one time was erroneously sup-1 5 posed to have referred to an apostolic | observance of Easter, s35 |{ Easter, as commemorating t he cen- j 1 tral fact of our religion, has for ages) been regarded as the central festival j of the Christian year and from thej 4 earliest times has been bbseryed with j < a stately and most elaborate cero-j < moniai. It is not. however, the pur- j pose of this arricio to enter upon the \ ritual observances of Easter, nor the! many curious and interesting popular custom-?one of which may be mentioned?the one of sending of Pasch 9 egg-, or Easter eggs?possibly the : most widespread. Historians disagree upon the origin of the Easter egg?which also refers t ocatidy. etc .! of egg shape. U>cg as gilts. The cu torn an. .'dates Christianity. Best nu- thorith s -ay that a< the e gg is looked ' upon as a symbol of life, it may have originated to signifv the birth off* tfar I year or of the spring. Whc.? adopt-j! "'t fT'. ' ? ? ' * - ' ' ... u.iv it|\vas uscil i to symbolize the birth into a r cw -ife. The coloring of the egg came about merely to please children. '^r - i i J ' s w I/ ) AUTOCAST. SEBVICG Since Boone has such an ample suj ply of sparkling water i? has bee suggested that some fountains froi rough mountain rock be constructe in-the city. Two ideal locations ft these fountains would be on tfc grounds of the Daniel Boone hot and on the lawn of the courthous* They could be constructed at a ver little cost, and basins provided i which gold fish might live. Besidt being a thing of beauty, these foui tains would furnish the traveler wit a drink of ice-cold water, and pr< vision could also be made for t'r, lower animals, birds, etc. We ha^ more water than can be used ft years to come, so why not let a pai of it contribute to the cause of more beautiful city? RULES FOR PLANNING AND MAKING YOUR GARDE In making your garden here ai ri few things to remember. 1. Plan your garden before yo ever start the painting, so you wi get the greatest possible bentf from the spare that available Measure it and arrange your layoi is a carpenter would build a house. 2. Provide for as large a variet >f vegetables as possible. You wi. lave more pleasure out of your gai lcning and more vegetables for you able by a large assortment rathe ,han putting in your garden one o wo articles. 3. Start planting indoors in. boxe >r cold frames, then transplanting t< he garden, for the best results. I. Be sure to get the very bes eeds obtainable. In this way yoi vill escape troubles with pests am liseases and your production will b? :reater. 5. Elaborate or expensive tool ire not necessary. For the small gar !en idl you will need are a spadi >r spading fork, a hoe, a se'tel rake i line with two stakes, an atomizer prayer, a trowel and watering can. (>. Visit your garden early ever? norning while the dew is hangini icavily on every plant. i*erhap ome insect attack has started o nan- injury been inflicted which re (iiires immediate attention. 7, The frequent stirring of th airfaoe soil with a steel rake, espc dally during dry weather, wi ;ti?milate the growth of the plant ind keep away the weeds. 8. : r <11o* *t light sprinkling o ,he garden! is injurious. The prope in t.ho'3 is to soak the soil thorough y about once each week;'juoferahi lining the evening, and to loosen th .urfaee the following morning. b. Early cabbage plants, kah jnior.. sets, smooth peas, potatoes an radishes should be planted two week jtifore the average date of the la: idling frost. 10. lleets, Swiss chard, carrot lettuce, wrinkled peas: spinach an cauliflower may be planted aboi he date of the last killing frost. 1 1. Beans, parsnips. sa? sif.v, me -ns. cucumbers, tomatoes and swei pottoes may be planted afttfr the la: villing frost. 12. Heat-loving plants, such it peppers, eggplants, lima beans ar. squashes, should not be planted i he cpeh ground before it has thoi r-u^hly warmed, about four week lftcr the last, killing frost. 1 a. It is essential that the gai Ion be so arranged that the tal rrowing erops will not shade th malji'r ones. 11. Foliage crops, such as lottv.c nid spinach, are likely to do hettc n partial shade than the fruit crop: inch as tomatoes and beans. 1 Keep busy in your gardei Cultivate. Watch for pests.
