HOT CROSS BUNS.
Fave Been Used tn All the: Crude
Forms of Worship from Re-
,motcst Antiquity. =

/. How many people are aware that
the hot cross-bun of Good Friday dates
back thousands of years-to the very
dawn of the human race? Like many
another rite of symbolism which fig
Ared in the religious ceremonies of The
heather world, it was adopted and in
Vested with a holicr meaning by the
followers of the new faith. Buns known
by that sclfsame name were used in the
worship of the Queen Of Heaven. Ish-
tara or hstarte. aS earlssas the daExnf
Iecrops., founder of Athens, 1900 b. c.
Some authorities date its origin to the
middle ages. during. the. prevalence of
a plague, when the church, as request
ed by numerous physicians. relaxed the
very rigid diet prescribed for its chill
dreR on Good Friday and allowed them
80, cat bread or buns. but required that
they. should always be marked with
the sign of the cross. This custom is
still observed in certain parts of Italy
and Spain.
Many virtues were ascribed to these
sacred cakes. As safeguards against
disease and danger they were generally
used in the direct services of ancient
idolatry, and in I. families or the
early Christian period in England: 1t
is known that in several remote and iso-
lated counties in England. even to this
day. a small loaf of bread is. annually
baken. on Good Friday morning and
put aside till the same anni-
versary returns. 1t is not eaten. but
usedas a medicine. "a small portion be-
ing grated into water and made into
sort of panada, considered sure cure
for many disorders. !. These little
loaves Were formerly nnleavened, and
bore the mark of the cross. Curious
as to their power and in
fuence prevailed through the various
ages. Very old is the belief that eating
buns on Good Friday protects the house
from fire. They are also used to fypify
the victory over death that followed the
crucifiSion. Hence .as.the great staple
or staff of life this simple food natural
y took on a sacred character with the
early Christians.-S. +. Butler. N Wom-

HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.

I left the farm when mother died. and
changed my place of dweliin'
To daughter Susie's stylish house, right
in the city street.
And there was them. before came, that
sort Of scared me tellin'
How I would find the town-folks' ways 50
difficult to meet.
They said I'd have no comfort IN the
rustlin' fxed-up throng.
And I'd have to wear stin collars every
weekday right along.
I nnd I take to city ways just like duck
to water,
like the racket and the noise. and never
tire of shows:
And there's no end Of comfort in the man
sion Of my daughter.
And everything Is right at hand. and
money freely flows:
And hired help is all about. Just listenin'
for my call.
But 4 miss the yellow almanac on my
kitchen wall.
The house is full Of calendars from attic to
the cellar:
They're painted In all colorS, and are
fancy-like to see.
But. just In this particular I'm not mod
crn feller.
And the ycllow-covered almanac Is good
enough for me:
I'm used to:it. I've seen Il round from boy
