A NEW BONNET ESSENTIAL
Speaking Of superstftions one had al
most forgotten that there is one as old
as the hills in which all women believe
even to this day. 1t is that a person
will have no luck for year who does
not wear new article of dress Easter
Sunday. 1t will be observed that it is
not necessary to order an entire outfit.
A bonnet, for instance, will suffice, and
II it is new and pretty that is sufficient.
IL Is not necessary that it should cost a
weeks salary.
TANsY TEA AND RED HERRING.
To entirely propltiatc fate the true
observer of Easter should dine on tansy
tea and red herrlngs. At least this
is In accordance with the rules laid
down in ancient and reliable English
chronicles.
The beggars were presumably first
made presentab,e, and then their feet
were washed in turn by the laundress,
the sub almoner and the grand almoner
Then the Queen repeated the ceremony
while her lords and ladies of the court
waited on her, carrying towels, etc. She
wiped, crossed and kissed the feet Of the
fortunate unfortunates, and then dis
tributed presents among them.
BEGGARs' FEET WASHED ny THE QUEEN.
A royal custom on this day was the
washing by the king or queen Of the
feet of beggars, after the example re-
lated I'm the Scripture. There were as
many beggars as the sovereign was
years old. For instance, II her Majesty
was 40 years old there were exactly
forty-nine beggars. This was no doubt
thought in ancient times a salutary way
of reminding a woman Of her age.
SIGNIFICANCE OF EASTER CUSTOMS
The passing Of the feast Of Easter
from Semitic to Aryan lands is really
the history Of humanity, and the story
OF Easter practices is the story OF ciyili-
zation. These practices link us with
the remote past, and I'm their decadence
from earnestness to sport they show how
the world has grown from childhood to
the age OF reason.
The Reformation in England did away
with number OF pagan practices that
were supposed to be "popish."
The fact was that the peasants had
kept them from pagan times, and the
Roman Church may have tolerated but
did not encourage them. They would
have died natural death II left alone,
for many that did survive the Reforma-
tion gradually became ridiculous, and
died to the music OF a laugh.

tine abbey in England. In the begin.
ming the buildings were poor,
architecture in Britain being at that
time in its infancy. Abbot Herele
winus is credited with afterward rear
ing the gorgeous pile of architecture
which in its time was the delight and
wonder of the age and still in its ruins
is sublime aud beautiful. The massive
and lofty walls which inclosed ihe
buildings ian in a quadrangular form
and inclosed an area of sixty acres.
st. Joseph's chapel was strikingly
beautiful and another chapel, whose
ruins no longer exist, was plated over
with 2,640 pounds of silver and had an
altar of gold weighing 264 pounds.
Kings visited the venerable pile and
bestowed lands upon the abbey. King
Arthur, Kenwalch, the second King Of
the West Saxons, King Ina. King Ed
dins, Edward /. and his consort, Eleo-
nora, Canute, Edward III. and his
queen, Philippa, were among those
who contributed to the richness and
beautifying of the place.
In 1884 the monastic buildings were
destroyed by fire and Henry III. rebuilt
them. In 1886 an earthquake occurred
in Somerset County and again the alb
bey was damaged. Improvements
were then made till the far-famed con-
vent reached its summit of magnifi-
cence and renown. But in the reign
of Henry VIII. Glastonbury shared
the fate of other similar institutions.

PROTEST GALORE
From Property Owners Against
the Sixth Street Bridge Assess


ment.
The assessment for the Sixth street bridge
will come uD for consideration again i'll the
board of public works this afternoon. The
opposition 10 the assessment, as now pro-
posed by the board. is confined to property
holders on Sixth street, between Broadway
and Kittson. The assessment roll covers all
property OH the line OF Sixth street, from ST.
Peter to Arcade, and the total amount
assessed is $4,000. Tine assessment begins
with S25 lot at st. Peter street
and gradually increases until the bridge
is reached, and then, at the other side of the
bridge, 1t decreases until at Arcade street
the assessment Is only S15 lot. Property
holders between Broadway and kittson
street claim that the graduation OF the assess
ment is unfair-that they are assessed too
much in comparison with the property own
ers at each end of the assessed district. I'm
less it is shown by competent witnesses that
the assessment is unfair, it viii probably be
confirmed by the board to-day. The total
cost of the bridge will be- Sl3l, 900, but SIS, 900
of the amount is bonded.
