spent in fasting and prayers and other re-
ligious services, as the anniversary of the

There are a great variety of customs
and legends connected with Easter, the
most popular of which is the sending of
Easter eggs. In the royal roll of the time
of Edward L, now preserved in the British
museum, appears the entry for 18d. for 400
eggs used in making presents.
Easter eggs, or Pasch eggs" says His
torian Brewer, "are symboical of creation,
or the recreation of spring. The practice
of presenting eggs to our friends at
Easter is Magian or Persian.
Christians adopted the custom to symbolic
the resurrection, and they color the eggs
red in alluson to the blood of their re-
demption"
On Easter. Christians used to salute each
other with a kiss, and the words Christ
Is Risen,' to- which the response was HE
Is Risen Indeed" This custom Is still re-
tanned in the Greek church. especially in
Russia.
There is a legend in some parts of Ire
land that the sun dances on Easter day and
it is religiously believed by many of the
people.
"But o, she dances in such a way!
No sun upon an Easter day,
Is half so fine a sight"

SOME CONDENSED FACTS
ABOUT EASTER SUNDAY

The word Easter is derived from
"Eostre,' or "Ostra," the Goddess of
Spring of the old Anglo-Saxons. Hence
April used to be called Eestre-month
No reference is found in the New Testa-
ment or in any of the writings of the
apostolic fathers to the celebration of
Easter as the anniversary of Christ's resur-
rection. The word is mentioned only once
in the King James version of the Bible
Acts kid, and there it refers to the Jew
ish feast of the Passover.
When finally Easter did become a fixed
custom, great dispute arose which lasted
for centuries as to how the day should be
determined Christ's resurrection occurred
just after the old Jewish feast of the Pass
over was celebrated, and in the early days
Of the church the Christians, especially
those of Jewish descent, were accustomed
to celebrate Easter on the day fixed for
the Passover.
The old Jewish year consisted of twelve
lunar months of twenty-nine and a half
days each, with a thirteenth month
added every third year. According to that
calendar, the Passover was fixed on the
14th day of the month of Nissan. the first
month of the Jewish year. From this it
will be seen that an anniversary celebra-
ton with the Jews was a very movable
one with those people using the calendar
based on the solar year. The Passover
thus came the fourteenth day after the
trst new moon of the Jewish year, regard
less OF the day of the week on which it
fell. Those who believed in celebrating
Easter on this day were called "Quarto-
decimians."
But later on the Christian churches In
Rome and other western countries asserted
that Easter should always be Celebrated
on Sunday, regardless of the day of the
month on which 1t fell, so they fixed
Easter as the first Sunday after the four
teenth day of the new moon-in other
words, the first Sunday after the fun

this full moon is the first one after the
2ist day of March.
The Jewish Christians and the Gentle
Christians continued their dispute with
great animosity until 1t became a source
of mockery to the unbelieversI. Pope Plus
decided about $50 A. d. that Easter should
always be celebrated on a Sunday, but this
didn't satisfy the "Quartodecimians." The
dispute continued, and was one of the chief
causes which led Emperor Constantine to
call the council of Nieea In the year 325.
That council decided that Sunday, above
all other days, was the one which Easter
should be celebrated, but left it to the
scientists of Alexandria, then the seat of
all astronomical learning, to how this
Sunday should be determined This was
another source of confusion, for different
methods were adopted, causing a variance
in the Sundays selected. Historian Bede
says that in the year 651 Queen Eaufleda
adopting the Roman method of determine
ing the day, was fasting en- Palm Sunday

COLORED OFFICERS.
FOrty-Eighth Regiment Has Negro
Line Ofticers-Nylll be Here.

Honolulu will shortly be visited by
the Forty-eightn Regiment (colored)
en- route to Manila. This circumstance
in itself is not peculiar, but the motley
group of officers, some of whom are
white men and others negroes, marks
a new departure in army circles which
has hitherto been deemed advisable not
to attempt. The field and staff officers
are white; all the line officers, captains
and lieutenants are negroes. The lat
ter have been promoted from the ranks
of the other negro regiments, and were
formerly non-commissioned officers.
At the close of the Santiago cam
paign President Mckinley commented
upon the bravery of the colored SOL
diers and set the seal of his approval
by commissioning five sergeants of the
Twenty-fourth Regiment as second
lieutenants, one Of whom declined the
honor, stating as his only reason that
his education was not sufficient to al
low him TO fill the Office with proper
dignity"
AS to their social position it is IN
doubted among the white officers that
anyone who wears shoulder straps is
entitled TO all the respect and obedience
which his Office calls for from superioTs
and interiors alike, whether he be
white or cOlOred. The white soldiers
accord as much courtesy TO the c0Iored
officers as any OtbeT-military ethics
and discipline demanding it.
