Historic Sit of Crane

A day or two before the funeral of
Senator Hanna Postmaster Emerson,
OF Cleveland received by mail from
c. j. Johnso, of Greenville, Texas, a
small piece of Grape which had been
worn on several notable occasions.
1t is part of the first that came out
IN the army of the Potomac, and was
worn at the funerals of Lincoln,
Grant, Garfield, Logan and several
minor celebrities. The knot in the
Grape has never been united. Post
master Emerson wore il at the Hanna
funeral and then sent it back to its
owner in Texas

Easter SUNDAY,

The popular understanding Of the
determination of Easter is that it is
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the vernal equinox. This,
although the theory, must be taken
with modification in actual practice,
because ecclesiastical dictum fixes
the vernal equinox invariably on the
21st of March, though this may not
be the astronomical fact; because the
full moon is fixed at the 18th day and
because the beginning of the Paschal
noon is determined by the table of
epacts, which only approximate the
fact. Usually the astronomical and
ecclesiastical calculations agree snffi-
ciently that the day is the same. Dnt
the contrary has happened.

residences they are presented with
Easter eggs. In smaller towns ano
villages it is the custom for the
school children to walk in long pro-
cesslons through the streets, singing
the Easter choral, and when they re-
;urn to the schoolhouse they are pre-
sented with scores of eggs, which the
inhabitants Of the place have sent for
them IN big basket. Very often When
these children pass houses, people.
come out and join them in the chorus.
1t is fashion that all ministers,
especially those in the country places.
are presented with many eggs by the
members of their congregations.
These eggs are then given away again
by the clergymen to the poor people
of the parish
But the greatest festival for chill
dren in Germany is the "Eiersuchen"
(seeking for eggs on Easter morn
ing after church service. 1t can be
said as fact that there is no family |
in the whole of Germany where this
'ElerSuchen" does not take place if |
there are children in the home. The |
eggs are all hard boiled, and colored |
in bright colors. If the weather is
good, the mothers hide dozens and
dozens of these eggs, putting them
in different places in the grass, in
bushes and flowers in the garden. If
the weather is bad, the parlor is used
for the "Eiersuchen." 1t is one OF
German children's greatest pleasures
to find these eggs, and each one
found is welcomed with a loud hur-
rah. Very often there are added eggs
made of candy and chocolate.
For 'grown-up" young folks, also,
egg parties are given, at which ''Eier-
suchen" takes place. Then girls and
boys exchange their eggs they have
found, making love to each other.

Senator Hoar that day completed
thirty-five wears of continuous service
