ON EASTER EVE.

Old Rites and Ceremonies Belonging CO
This Time.
The day before Easter is sometimes
called Holy Saturday, and there are
numerous rites and ceremonies belong.
ing to it, some of them practiced at the
present day. On the evening of this
day, in the middle districts of Ireland,
great preparations are made for the
finishing of Lent, and the ushering in
Of the glad Eastertide. On that night
the good cotter's wife puts into the pot
many fat fowl or special piece OF
bacon, which no one dares so much az
to taste by putting finger in the po.
until the cock crows on Easter morning.
AT midnight may be heard the wild
clapping ofhands and the joyous laugh
of the light-hearted Irish people, and
above all rises the shout: ''Out with the
Lent" Jollity and merry-making
prevail for an hour or two, when they
go to rest and sleep till four o'clock,
then arise to see the sun dance in honor
perstition by any means confined
to the humber classes, but is
scrupulously observed by many people
of high birth and great wealth, some
of them asserting positively that they
have literally seen the sun dance on
Easter morning.
Sir John Sucking, in his ballad upon
a wedding, alludes to this superstition:
But, oh, she dances such way!
No sun upon an Easter day Is half 80 fine z
sight"
In England it was customary on
Easter eve to light the churches with
what were called Pascha1 tapers,
which were usually very large. In 1851
these tapers used in the Abbey church
of Westminster weighed three hundred
pounds
In Dorsetshire during the last CEN
fury it was the custom On Easter eve
for boys to form procession bearing
chanting these words:
I'VE tasted In the light.
For this is the night
This custom was no doubt a relic Oh
the Popish ceremonies formerly in
vogue at that time.
Another custom attached to this sea.
son was the putting out of the fires in
all the churches and kindling them
anew from flint, blessing the wax fol
the Easter tapers and other customs.
A translation of Googe's from the
Naogeorgus describes the superstition
as to the reminding of the fires:
ION Easter eve the fire all is Quencht In ever
place,
And fresh againe from out the flint Is fetcht
with solemne grace:
The priest doth halow this against great
dangers many one,
A brande whereof doth every man with greedie
minde take home,
That when the farewell storme appeares OF
tempest black arise.
By lighting this he safe may be from strokes
of hurtful skies. Ladies Home Journal

Nobody Knows How the Court Stands ON
the Income Tax Question.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-A1l sorts Of
wild and unsupported rumors have been
circulated to-day as to how the SUI
preme court stands upon the income
tax question. Nearly every member of
the court is mentioned as having in
dividually called on the president and
assured him first one way and.
then the contrary. As matter of fact
no members of the court has seen the
president since the case was taken UNI
der advisement, and the judges ara
keeping their own counsel, as becomes
the dignity of their high Office. Every
statement as Co how they stand upcU
the question involved must therefore
be mere guesswork.

word In connection with Miss Martha
/ thought she was painfully sensible"
$50 she is. There is just the trouble.
She gives her life to being sensible,
and then isn't sensible enough not to
make 1t painful to everybody who
comes near her."
Charley nodded an energetic assent
"She certainly is q person you would
rather admire at q distance"
"Yes; every body feels so. And isn't
It pitiful? Miss Martha is really max
ing great sacrifice, the kind that
would bring tears to your eyes in a
tract. She has given up her work that
: she loved, and was making such sue
cess of, and has settled down entirely
TO the care of those children. They
are nice children, but very much alive,
and up to date; not at all the old
fashioned, theoretical kind that Miss
Martha has been imagining to herself
for the last twenty years. They give
her plenty to do. Keeping their clothes
mended. and all those faces washed
and hands clean isn't any sinecure,
can tell YOU"
s.More like a manicure, isn't it?" in
uired Charley, with a chuckle.
Helen looked doubtful whether to
recognize this hit, but concluded she
would, and then went on:
ssShe does her duty by them very
thoroughly and very raspingly, poor
little midgets I am afraid they are
in q constant state of rebellion and
disgust. You see, their own mother
was SO different; they are not accusr
toned to 'prunes, prisms, from morn

fore she lifted it again; when she did
she murmured to herself:
with Gods help this aunt shall
learn how. May know my RESPONSE
bility better after thisr'
When supper was over Miss Martha,
taking drowsy two-year-old Jack from
his nurses arms. asked the other
nieces and nephews to follow her into
the library; and they came, wonder
ing.
Children" began Miss Martha,
stretching her hand out to Helen'a
Easter card, and setting It up In sight
under the light Of the lamp, you all
know what Easter means; but think
we ought to understand It better to-
day than we ever have before, because
of the dear little mother who was
with us last year, but who is not hero
now"
None of them had ever heard such q
falter in Miss Martha's firm tones be-
fore At the sound Teddy slipped of
closer. His aunt cleared her throat
and went on:
..A11 the hope and promise of Easter
ought to be very sweet to u.s. 1t is be
cause of that that we can think SO
peacefully of her lying dead in her
grave; because we know that she is
only waiting until the angel rolls
away the stone, when she will rise
again in the newness of the life ever
lasting"
Did the children understand all this?
Perhaps not all But think they un-
derstood enough to warm their frozen
little hearts; and they understood very
well, indeed, when MISS Martha
began to tell them Of the long ago
times when she and their mother were
girls together, and how they had loved
each other all their lives until death
came. When the delightful, leisurely
talk was over, and Miss Martha went
away upstairs with sleeping Jack and
the other little one, Grace crept close
to Teddy, and, laying her small hand
somewhere near her heart. whispered:
Teddy. I've got the feeling of Easter
right here, haven't you?"
Some months later, Charley Strother
remarked to his sister: 1T strikes me
the Dunbars are running things in
pretty smooth water of late. Have you
noticed it?"
''Of course, and rejoiced. Grace told
me yesterday that they had been hav-
ing lovely times ever since Easter"
What do you suppose it means?'
II think it MEANS" said Grace, slow
ly, ''that Christ is risen indeed, and
hath appeared to Miss Martha.
