MEXICo's EASTER.

There is no country Ia the world where
Easter is more joyously and universally ceie-
brated than in Mexico. as found during my
long residence in the Mexican capital No
festival OF the entire year, not even Christi
mas, is hailed by the Nexieans with such
rapturous delight. It is an agreeable era
from which they like to date. $50 many
years last Easter, Three Casters back"
ETC., are common expression in the mouth
of everybody.
All Mexico fIocks to the capital to enjoy
the Easter festivities. Many come by the
railroads, of which, there are now five,
others on horses and burros, and not a
few on foot. The celebrations begin on
Easter eve. 1t is impossible to adequately
portray in words the universal joy and
mtrth the wild gayety and abandon of
Easter eve in Mexico.
The Plaza Major, or principal public
square, has been converted into a tempo
r;iry fair ground. crowded with innnmera-
bic booths. displa ying by means of candies,
around which shades Of white paper have
been placed to concentrate their light
every conceivable variety of holiday wares
Troops OF boys go winding through the
crowds Offering little cakes baked in the
form OF the sepulchre, the cross and the
crown of thorns. All classes purchase these
mementoes People of wealth, accompanied
by groups OF weil4tressed, merry children,
their hands full of these cakes, elbow the
poor persons spending the few eoppers care
fully put by for the occa sion. It is a
period of UNIVERSAL merriHlcnt aud rejOic-
ing-a joyous carnival without masks.
Easter dawn finds the churches crowded.
All classes kneel together.

THE GERMAN EASTER

It was as the guest OF Baron Fritz Won

served the German Easter, than which there
is no more elaborate or interesting cele-
bration OF the festival. At sunrise on
Easter morning we were awakened by the
tiomestics OF the estate, some thirty-fiVe
in number, singing Easter anthems be-
meath our window TO the accompaniment OF
a small, though excellent orchestra main
taincd among them
Then the baron and all his guests assem-
bIed in the great hall OF the castle while the
entire establishment passed in pairs in re-
view before us. Each couple carried some
thing to Indicate the department TO which
they belonged, and also something en-
blematiCal of some great event in the life
or death Of our Saviour.
Thus the washerWomun carried a tub as
white as snow and containing a large doll.

ancestors for centuries and was a general
one on many of the great landed estates OF
Germany. CHAS- DE nal

Easter was especially a festival of glad re-
joiCing.
The bonfires can be traced in the great
paschal tapers. some weighing 500 pounds,
with which the churches were lighted on
Easter Eve, and in the record of tire ancient
church disbursements of st. Mary-at-Hill. in
tile city of London, there was discovered
an entry flor a quarter of coles for the
hallowed fires on Easter Eve, 3D.
HOT CROSS BUNS.
On the Friday before Easter-Good Fri
day-alI over England the custom prevails
of eating at breakfast what are called 'shot
cross-buns." In the towns the poor general
iy succeed in effecting large sales and col
lccting goodly store, by petfdling buns
Turn where you will on any street of any
city in her majesty's kingdom on Good
Friday morning, you will bear:
lone penny, buns,
Two penny, buns,
One penny, two a penny,
The cakes are sweet, and each marked
with a cross.
Hot-cross buns"
Another queer usage in England is that
OF lifting or ''heaving.'' On Easter
Monday the men lift the women, and on
Easter Tuesday the women return the
compliment. Two stout men or women
lofk hands, furnishing a sure sitting, and
compel the person to be lifted to submit to
being hoisted several times and often to
being carried thus through the village.
Again, in some parts of England the
men claim the privilege OF removing the
shoes of a woman from her feet wherever
she may be found on Easter Monda ". and

THE SWEDISH EASTER.

The peasantry of Sweden like those OF
Wales arepeculiarIy rich in Easter Supersti-
tions. During my tour of Sweden in 1885,
L was assured by many Swedes of all classes
that Easter eve is an occasion when super
natural influences prevailto n very marked
extent. that all devils and witches are then
abroad. and that the fairies hold high ear
nival. All this changes with the dawn of
Easter morning, for then, they say, no evil
spirit dares to stir, abroad. All things eva
know that Christ, who has triumphed over
death and the grave, has risen In glory
to curtaiI their power and ultimately
destroy them Is is also a Swedish super
stition that all cattlesaud horses fsIl upon

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.
1t differs from Christmas in not being
an immovable feast, and again in the form
of its observance, but Easter is commemor-
alive of but one event of its character in the
history of the world.
Many curious customs have marked the
days observance in all ages. 1t was at
one time the occasion OF the haDtisr'al
ceremony, and again. the day, or the week.
was devoted TO aims giving. Courts OF
Justice were closed and the poor were as
sembled at the churches topartake of afeast.
Slaves were set free at that season,
and as the end of the auSterites of the
Lenten period were marked by the advent
of Easter Sunday, the people were wont

grandii. or Sunday Of joy"
The popular sports, games sanddances were
added farcical exhibitions in which even the
the clergy joined, by reading or reciting

This custom gave way, however, in the
sixteenth century before the arguments
OF the rcforme-s, and thereafter daily

each other with the Easter kiss and with the

The response was We're surrexit, :" He is

the celebration OF the Lords Supper.

EASTER IN THE WEST INDIES,

One of the most unique experiences that
anyone not TO the manner born can have in
connection with Easter is to spend it in the
West Indies-in Martinique. for example

THE. ITALIAN EASTER.

On Easter eve in all parts of Italy the
people play upon instruments and sing be-

the poetic idea OF assuaging her grief for
the death of her beloved Son. Italy pays
great attention to the decoration Of her
churches. and l haye found II more elaGo'
