Easter.

Our English word Easter-as repre-,
sentinc what old ecclesiastics used to
t term 1.-THE Queen Festival of r the
Church'-is taken from the early leu leu
tonic language like many announcer
word in the Worcester and webster
dictionaries.
Ostern was the German name early
given to the church festival FROM
that to the present appellation was an
easy graduation. -, ,ou;,a
Some fanciful writer have derived
the name from that of heather god
dess among the Franks and Normans,
who was known as Eastre, which has
in French similar pronunciation to
Easter. This goddess had traditional
ly an April festival in her honor.

CURIOUS EASTER CUXxo4
How the Use Of Artifcially n
Eggs Originates.

Eggs OriGinated.
Among the odd superstitions
longing to Easter day is that held
the children in the north of Englaf
and also in Germany, that the Eas
eggs are laid by hares. The BID
seems to have been mixed up wi
moon superstitions, aud as the mod
regulates the movable least Of Easte
the idea has grown by simple prd
cess of evolution.
Buddha transformed himself into |
hare, according to the Hindoo myj
theology, in order to feed hungry
| pilgrim. The pilgrim prayed for food
in weary desert. When his PRAYER
was finished he raised his eyes and be-
held q fire burning on the bare sands.
| While he looked at the tire in aston.
! ishment a hare came running across
the plain and Jumping cheerfully into
the flame cooked himself to turn for
the pa grim's luncheon.
The weary one ate the hare thank
fully, and in order to show his graft.
tude translated his spirit to the moon,
where he still lives. The same Ssnscrit
word which means rabbit also signifies
moon spots
Children must be very careful at
this season, ana indeed at all times in
some countries, to crush their egg
shells or punch large holes il them.
They must on no account be left
about loose in whole or half whole
condition, or it is extremely probable,
according TO the superstition, that
witches vii. find them and use them
for boats.
in Westphalia egg shells are filled
with holy water and scattered about
the fields 70 insure good crops. An
egg and loaf Of bread Is sometimes
turned under by the plow for the same
purposes, and milk is poured upon the
ground. This was done at the annua.
ceremony called Blessing the Fields,
and the rolling Of Easter eggs is sup
posed to have had its origin IN the
same custom.
Eggs were prohibited by the early
church during Lent. The hens, how
ever, we're allowed to so on laying
and the question soon arose what to
10 witt the eggs. They could not be
sold, there we're too many to set, and
t1ay 3ecame the playthings of the
cl,alD, The little ones put them in
taoir pockets while they rollicked-
aud tl.n there was trouble. This led
to then parents seeing to it that the
egg vare hard boiled before the play
inc commenced.
tbs succeeded so well that they re-
wariel the children by putting dye in
the water and coloring the eggs dur.
ing the process Of boiling. Oolored
Eastor eggs became very popular ana
were often gilded and lavishly decor
ated.
Wlsp children were good the priest
was supposed to place the eggs on '3elr
door.sters during the night: In oui.
folk, eggs laid on Good frlday r,' ais
supposed never to become bad. lney
are kent therefore, and used as sure
preventive of collie. -
These same Good Friday eggs IN
Germany are said to ezunguish; nLe'
if thrown in backward. In Switzer-
land it brings good luck to o 2i.

Greek BARRIERS Use Ants.

Greek barber surgeons in the Levant
use large ants to keep together the
edges of cuts. The ant, held with a
forceps, opens its mandibles wide, and
as soon as it sei2es the edges of the
wound has its head severed from the
body, but retains its grip. People
have been seen with wounds healing
held together by seven or eight ants
heads. The kind used is a species of
big. headed Camponotus, New York
Sun.

EASTER DAY.

Earth Is now wearing
Her bright Easter crown.
"Hark." cry the angles.
From Heaven bending down;
clear the glad bells
That so ioyfully ring;
Easter shall peace and
Good will to men bring"
Curtain the altar
With lilies so fair,
Sweet Easter lilies,
Periuming the air!
Drape the dim chancel,
The shrine, and the nave;
Christ hath arisen
In power from the grave.
Sing, mighty voices,
Your iubilant songs;
Heavens grandest story
Proclaim to the throngs.
Sing, little children,
For Christ said Of thee:
"suffer the children
To come unto Ne"
Ring out, oh ring out,
Ye glad Easter beIlsl
Over the mountains
And over the dells;
Over the cities,
And over the sea,
Say to the Nations,
Redemption is free!

force such laws as are enacted by the School

PASSAGES TRAGEDY SENSATION.
The Police Satisfied That Miss Edison Was
Accidentally Asphyxiated

Accidentally Asphyxiated.
PAssAGC n. j.. Feb. 17.-Passaic is still
worked up over the sad death of beautiful
Minnie Edison, the Christian Endeavor
girl, who was suffocated while sleeping in
the home of her married lover, Andrew G..
Rahe, at No. 30 Irving Place, on Thurs
day night
Rahe's prominence from his connection
with the match factory, and the girls
previous good character and excellent repu-
tation, makes the story all the more sad,
and the girls companions are grief
stricken, while the residents Of the neigh
borhood in which the death took place
are Mortified.
Rahe, afCer being released from the po-
lice station on bail, packed up Few goods
and left town. 1t is believed that he has
gone to New York His wife, who is now
in York, Pa, has been notified of his dis.
grace, but she refuses to believe it. A
telegram she sent to her friends in this
city says it is all a case of blackmail, and
that her husbands enemies are trying to
injure his business reputation. She char
acterized the dead girl as a party to the
conspiracy.
Rahe's story would lend some truth to
his wife's belief were it not for the fact
that he has admitted that he willingly
agreed to the liason.
Chief of Police Hendry is satisfied that
the girl was asphyxiated accidentally, but
an effort will be made to have Rahe in
dicted for criminal intimacy.
