the superstituious ceremonies Of the
Druids. What more natural than that the
worshipers of the goddess 0stara, or Eostre,
blended the thought Of her radiant per-
sonality with the new conception Of the
resurrection dawn? What more likely than
that in ignorant but sincere fashion they
sought to worship the Christ after the same
manner as they had wOrshiped the goddess?
This is considered, at all events, to be the
explanation Of how the hare or rabbit, erst-
while sacred'to the heather goddess, came
to be so closely associated with our sublime
Christian festival.
Bede, the historian of the seventh CEN
fury, gives 1t as his opinion that the name
Easter is derived from that OF Eostre, and
also explains after the same manner that
April, in the language of the Britains, was
"Esturmonath,," or the Month of Eostre."
The hare, Of which the rabbit has un-
doubtedly in many cases been made the
representative, has been held sacred, or at
FEAST accredited with supernatural charac-
t~eristics In many lands and times. From
China to Peru 1t has been given honor.

dess under the slightly different name Of
Ostran. Writing Of her, Jacob Grimm de-
fines the meaning Of her name as "the
divinity Of the radiant dawn, of upspring-
ing light, a spectacle that brings Joy and
blessing, and whose meaning would be
easily adapted to the resurrection day Of
the Christian God"
The German Mythology OF Holtzmann
refers TO the goddess ostara, and contains
this PASSAGE:
THE Easter hare is unintelligible to me,
but probably the hare was the sacred an
imal of Ostara."
Four other authorities concur in this
opinion, practically establishing it, and
making it clear that the hare and not the
rabbit was at first associated with Easter.
The two animals, of the same family and
so closely resembling each other In every
particular except in size, have doubtless
become confused with each other in the
minds of many succeeding generations.

What have bunnies to do with Easter
anyway?
Well, it's a story that reaches a long
way back. Centuries and centuries ago,
authorities tell us, when the world was a
great deal younger than 1t is today, and
when its primitive dwellers reveled in
myth and fable, the untutored peoples OF
the. tiny British Isle worshiped the god-
dess Eostre, who seemed to have been
nearly allied in character to the Aurora
OF Roman mythology. Just as Aurora,
sometimes portrayed seated in a rosy
chariot drawn by two horses. was believed
to be the "forerunner of the sum-" so in
very truth Eostre, tabled goddess, proved to
be forerunner of that true Sun of Chris
tianity which has so enlightened the Garth.
Belief in her paved the way for belief in the
story of the resurrection.

A Touching Tribute.

"The most touching compli- ment 1 ever received" remarked a well-knOwn soprano the other day, twas paid to me by poor old woman, who must have amused those who heard her. I had sung two solos at the even ing service of fashionable church, after which 1 boarded a car. The old woman, whose clothes indicated great poverty, got in and sat down beside me, her face fairly shining with pleasure as she recognized me. Lady, I want to tell you how I likes your voice., she exclaimed in rather broken English. It goes right to my heart, and makes me so happy, just as if I'd heard the angels sing. 1 thanks you.' Of course 1 thanked her, but the funny part was when the conductor came for our fares. The old lady counted out ten pennies before 1 could pass over my nickel. 'Twol twop she said to him as she nodded to me. I wants to, lady, for 1 likes your voice so much; I likes your voice. So, while I felt that per haps the poor old soul could ill spare her extra pennies, I let her make the sacrifice because of the evident pleasure it gave her, and no compliment I ever received has touched me more deeply than her oft repeated words, I likes your voicer "- Philadelphia Record.

The other morning, before he left home, Mrs. M,- gave him a sealed letter, with the request that he should prom ise not to open it till he had reached his place of business: Her husband wondered at this, but in answer to all his inquiries she repeated the request so earn estly that he at last consented.
