Coon FmDu.-To day tho anniversa-
~ Of the cruciixion Of Christ, according
to the Christian chronology, was gener-
ally observed in the churches. In vir-
ginia the Knights Templars. as is their
custom on Good Friday. attended SER
vice in tho Episcopal Church. There
was also a large attendance at tho Cath
ole Church, where mass "a celebrated.
Service was also held i'm the Catholic
Church and Episcopal Church in Gold
Hill. Tho custom Of considering Friday
IN unlucky day. which can be traced
back for centuries, is supposed to have
originated from the fact that Christ was
crucided ON this day Of the week.
Friday is also hansman's day,
for the samo reason. The superstition
Is more widely spread than is generally
believed. There ara hundreds OF por-
sons in every community, who, though
they would he 10th to confess II. will
not commence any important enterprise
ON n Friday. Others ran sit down and
repeat a long list Of casualties which
have happened To them on Fridays.
| And this ia face Of the facts. that George
Washington was born ON Friday. and
| that Columbus. ON Friday. started Oh
his VOYAGE, which resulted in his dis
coyery OF America. Only nations whose
religious belief il basel ON the Bible
have any seven days arrangement at
all. Dividing time into weeks is pure

| the civilized world. How is 1t
then with the majority OF mankind.
who have no weeks and know nothing
whatever about Friday? Is u day which
they 10 not know even exists still an
uniucky day with them? IL Is also
doubtful whether Friday Of the present
time corresponds with Friday at the
commencement Of the Christian Era.
This il n point on which chronologists,
As well ms historians differ. However, rs
the Friday before Easter has been uni
versally fixed upon a. the anniversary
OF tho day Of crucihNtion. 1t may prop
erly DO celebrated as such.
