EASTER EGG LORE.
Curious Customs of the Season, tls
Origin of Which Is Lost
in Antiquity.

mas QoScenQeQ TO us from the greatest
of the Chinese spring festivals, inau-
gurated more than TOO years before the
Christian era.
The custom was particularly popular
during the fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turtles in England. The pope sent Hen
ry VIII. an Easter egg in silver case.
In Russia it is common to exchange
visits and eggs on Easter day.
In Italy dishes of eggs are sent to
the priests to be blessed, after which
they are carried home and placed in
the center of the table
In Spain and Germany the eggs are
not blessed but they are highly col
ored and distributed among callers to
be eaten or taken away according to
the taste of the individual
The custom, in one form or another,
exists among the Jews, Greeks, Turks
and Persians.
"Paas" was the ancient name for
Easter, and the eggs were often called
pace" ''pach" or "paas" eggs.
In Scotland eggs are taken to church
to be blessed. They are afterward dis
tributed among the members of the
household and are either eaten or
saved as keepsakes.
The decoration of ordinary eggs orig
mated in England. Gliding the shells
was the first step. This was followed
by the additions of ribbons, pictures
and various other devices to please the
little folk
These eggs were given and received
with the familiar Easter greeting:
Christ is risen!" and the answer: HE
is risen, indeed"
Germans first introduced games into
the Easter celebration. Eggs were hid
den about the lawn or grounds or in
the house. Then the children hunted
for them, the finder of the greatest
number receiving a prize.
Sometimes the eggs were all put in
one nest over which a rabbit was
placed on guard. How this animal be-
came identified with Easter is not
known, but in time young children be-
gan to believe that the colored eggs
were laid by the rabbit.
Egg racing is a favorite amusement
OF Russian, German and French chill
dren. The eggs are rolled down hill
and the prize goes to the boy whose
egg rolls the greatest number of races
without damage to it's she'll
This game is played by Washington
children in the rear of the white house
on Easter Monday.
In Germany there are tracks made
of twigs down which each egg may
roll without interference from any
other one The boy whose egg arrives
unbroken at the foot of the hill col
lects "toll'' of his opponent whose egg
is cracked.
Another game is played by two bows
who stand. each holding an egg. and
suddenly strike them together. The
owner of the heavy-shelled egg. if he
possesses skill, can break the eggs of
several players before his own is in
