common means of celebrating the day.
These colored eggs were called PaScn
eggs, and the children, and, indeed,
some rather old ones at that, met in the
streets or at each others houses to crack
eggs with each other. Among Germans
this custom was well known also, and
many of the t0Ik-tales of these people
are connected with the lovely colored
Easter eggs. The egg being an emblem
OF immortality, it seems very appfo-

country. came from Europe. Schools
and colleges. and even courts of justice,
have now their vacations as they do IN
England. The religious services in
contrast to the gloom and Solemnlty or
Lent are full of JOY and brightness.
| Special musical services are prepared in
all the churches. Easter carols and
| anthems are written, and form distinct
/ class of musical composition. The
churches are decked with flowers. The
| Iilv, sacred to the mother of Jesus, is
always conspicuous feature on this
day. Other flowers are used: red ones,
that symbolic life; delicate greens, for
hope, and yellow for joy. These are
the predominating colors, though others
are used. People are better for thus
laying aside sorrow and care and enter
ing into the joy and happiness of the
returning spring, regardless of re-
ligious beliefs. In old times, par
ticularly in the Roman church, it was
the custom for the priests to tell funny
stories on Easter morning. These
stories, of course, had religious lesson
hidden behind the laugh with which
they were told and listened to, and no
thought of reverence entered the minds
of either preacher or nearer among these
emotional people, who were always glad
to escape from the depressing gloom of
tine lone Lenten weeks. This custom
was continued until the 18th century.
but was never practiced by our Ameri-
can church. We are accustomed to
hearing the remark that Americans are
too serious, and this being true, all
thoughtful people must welcome the
tendency of modern life to embrace the
more cheerful modes of worship that

perlai and royal authority. At Easter,
too, occurs the illumination of ST. Pc
ter's. In early days the Roman church
introduced theatrical representations
to amuse the people. The scenes
of the passion and resurrection of Christ
were exhibited in the cathedral of Dur
ham with great detail, including the
arising from the sepulcher and the con-
versatiOns recorded in the New Tesla
ment. OF these shows. where churches
were theaters and priests and monks
actors, curious records of expenses are
preserved.
Many old and curious customs were
long observed i'll England in connection
with the annual return of the Easter
festival. Lifting or heaving was so
much in vogue that Mr.. Tysons says

arose in the church with respect to the
true time and manner of keeping Easter.
The church was divided into two parts,
the eastern and western, or Greek and
Latin Christians. The eastern Chris
tianS, with natural Jewish tendencies,
observed a passover on the night follow
ing the 14th Nisan- the day on which
the passover was without
regard to the>day of the week on which
the l4Eh might occur. They also cele-

ghsh, the anniversary of the resurrec-
ton of the Savior has been known as
Easter. The appellatiOn probably comes
from the Saxon word "Oster," to rise.
Some psychologists. however, claim
that it comes from the name of the
Saxon goddess Eastre, who was the
goddess OF spring. and supposed TO eX-
ercise a particular influence on the
forthcoming vegetation. Both Easter
and Sunday are Saxon, ana, like many
other words of that sturdy tongue, have
gained lasting homes in the hearts and
at the hearths of a Christian people.

queen of festivals, and was celebrated

Friday which followed the l4th of Nissan
as a solemn fast and celebrated the
resurrection on the following Lord
day. Variations arose as to time, errors

was ruled by the great council

which falls on or next after the 21st of
March. The earliest possible date at
which Easter may happen is the 22d
day of March, the 25th of April. Fri
day preceding Easter, is always kept as
solemn last in memory Of the crucifiX-
ion, and Easter as a special feast in
honor Of resurrection of the Lord. The
latter is indeed his re-birth day, "the
day the Lord hath made"
Many curious customs attach to the
observance of Easter in different parts
of the world. In Ireland formerly peo-
pie arose at 4 o'clock in the morning to
see the sun dance. The wealthy and
well Informed, as well as the poor and
Ignorant, carefully observed this GUS
tom. In England they were wont to
call the reflection of the sun in running
water, "lamb playing" An old ballad,
quoted by Brand, says:
"But, Dick, she dances such q way,

1t was once a custom in Paris to stone
Jews on Easter day through the streets
and to catch some unfortunate son of
Abraham, and taking him to church,

A Commencement Costume.

A pretty commencement gown may be
made Of white embroidered muslin, the
tiny flower being done in white, and upon
close examination proving that it is a
forgetmenOt. The skirt, which is full
and round, just barely escapes the floor.
At the foot it is finished with five narrow
"milliner's folds" of white satin. A
quarter of a yard above these are three
narrow folds, and a quarter of a yard
above these is one. The bodice is round
and belted in with broad, white satin
belt laid in fine folds like those on the
skirt. Just III front, where it fastens,
are four white satin ribbon bows knotted
in the square style, so that they look like
forgetmenots themselves.
The gown is open at the throat, turned
over in very broad revers, faced with
the muslin and outlined with Irish lace,
that has the st tches necessary to keep it
In place hidden under folds of the satin.
The sleeves are very high puffs of the
satin, reaching quite to the elbows, and
below them fall frills of Irish lace. The
gloves are white undressed kid, and the
fan is a white gauze one. The slippers
are white satin and the stockings white
silk. The hair is parted in the center,
drawn back and arranged low on the
neck in q loose knot.-Isabella Mallon
in Ladies' Home Journal.
