ttons tho i'm of the Eclectic is to be in.
structive without being dull, and entertain.
ing without being trivial. While each mum.

E,stertide Folk Lore In Europe.

OF the English beliefs In regard
to Eastertids the London Standard
says: II Is considered by many
unlucky to omit wearing new
clothes on Easter day. and In East
Yorkshire young people go to the
nearest market town to buy some
articles of dress or personal orna-
ment, as otherwise they believe
that birds-notably rocks or
"crakes" will spoil their clothes.
To see a lamb on first looking out
OF the window on Easter morning,
ls a good omen, especially II its
head be turned in the direction of
the house, but it is not SO fortu.
nate If 1t be lying down or looking
the other way. 1t must be rem en-
bered, however, that to meet a
lamb at any time is lucky. as. &C.
cording to the popular notion, the
devil Can take any other form but
that of lamb or a dove. If the
wind Is In the east on Easter day 1t
is rega, ded in some places as wise
plan to draw water and wash
III 1t, as by this means one will
avoid the various Ill effects from
the east wind throughout the re-
naming months of the year. The
same superstition exists on the CON-
tinent. Thus, in the neighborhood
Of Mecklenburg, on Easter moru-
ing, the maid servants fetched
Easter water, or on the evening
preceding, spread out linen clothes
in the garden, and in the morning
wash themselves with the dew,
rain or snow that may have fallen
on them. This Is said TO he q pre-
servative from illness for the whole
year. In Sachsenburg, the peas
ants ride their horses into the
water TO ward off sickness from
them. The Easter water, however,
has virtue only when, while draw
ing IL, the wind is due east. Much
Importance Is attached to rain fall
ing on Easter day, for, according to
an old provero
"a good deal of rain on Easter day
Gives good crop of grass, but little good
hay."
Again, If tie sun shines on Easter
morning, it will, we are told, shine
on Whit Sunday. a Sussex piece
of weather lore goes -urther and
tells us that If the sun shine on
Easter day 1t will shine q little
every day all the year round; while
there Is corresponding notion
that If 1t rains 1t will rain a. little,
II only few drops, during the en-
suing year.
