THE EASTER RABBIT.
Why MIR. Long Ears IL a symbol o
the Festival.

Il tnt tshNah.
For more seasons than one cares to
count the Easter egg has been the
familiar symbol of the great spring
festival. hut of late years another en-
blem has begun to dispute its su-
premacy In the confectioners' shops.
and for some time the hares at Easter
have been almost as numerous as the
! eggs. The hares are quite as often rab-
bits. delicate distinctions In zoology not
being the province of confectioners. but
In this case they cannot 90 far out Of the
way in confounding the two. because
in symbolcgy the anim;k are identical.
and, moreover to the American eye the
rabbit is the more familiar form.
But why either?
What has the innocent rodent, as
George Eliot would say, with its small
nibbling pleasures" to do with the
great festival OF the resurrection7
Easter. though apparently a solar
festival in its connection with the
equinox. i'm reality and even as ordered
by the Christian church belongs by
rights to the moon, and the hare. we
find, was I'm ancient and especially orr
entail symbology identical with the
moon, across whose disk endless num-
bers of Hindoo and japanese artists
have painted him. while their Chinese
brethren represent the moon as a rab-
bit pounding rice in a mortar.
The Buddhists had two different
stories explaining the hare's preeence
In the moon.
One was that Buddha once took the
shape OF hare. that he might feed n
hungry fellow creature. and was trans
lated in that form 10 the moon. where
be forevermore abides.
| The second myth. as told by DR.. Gu
bernatis in his geological Mythology -
seems more likely 70 be the genuine.
This legend says that when Indra. dis
guised as a furnishing pilgrim. was dy-
ing for food the hare. having nothing
TO give him. threw himself into the fire
that he might be roasted for his bene-
Mt. and the grateful Indra translated
the animal 20 the moon.
There are several other reasons why
the hare was chosen 10 symbolic the
moon. One was that 1t Is a nocturnal
animal and comes out at night TO feed
another that the female carries her
young for month. thus representing
the lunar cycle; another that the hare
was thought by the ancients TO be able
TO change its sex like the moon. which
as IL waXed or waned was regarded
as masculine or feminine.
Sir Thomas Brown says that this was
affirmed by Archelaus. Plutarch and
many others. Pliny. who is not men
toned by Sir Thomas, gives II the
weight OF his authority in his Natural
History" The historian OF Vulgar Er-
rors" devotes chapter 10 the subject

WATCHES PROBING OF BIG LIFE COMPANIES
Drama Transferred National Stage Republican
Says Campaign Fund Not Be Turned Back to Mccall

A dispatch says nowhere are the de-

vestigation now in progress in New
York followed more closely than in
Washington. The natural interest
felt by policy holders, business men
or politicians in the details of the in
innate relationship between life insur-
ance companies and high finance IS
heightened in the case by the general
feeling that sooner or later the drama
will be transferred to this stage, and
ultimately the matter, as in the case OF
the regulation of railroads, will be
fought to conclusion in congress.
Many feel it a great pity that the Arm
strong committee is not cOngression-
al body, and that the testimony was
not taken in Washington instead OF
New York. 1t would have so enl'ven-

United States Commissioner Brown IN
Columbus, charged with having kept

of peonage.
Williams left the Johnson turpen-
tine still, where he had been working
in June, and was arrested IA Cusseta
Ca, on a charge of jumping 2 CON
tract. He returned, the case was set
tied before a magistrate, the warrant
was withdrawn and he went back to
work. He left again later. In the
summer another warrant was issued
against him on the same charge. He
was arrested again at Cusseta, and
the misdemeanor case against him will
be tried at the next term Of Webster

They we're held in bonds of $1,000
and 81, 900 respectively. The case will
come up in December.

Old-time Methodists gasped in sheer
amazement when they looked over the
new hymnal of their church, which
was Sunday seen for the first time IN
their houses of worship, says a New
York dispatch.
There were new hymns by writer's
who had no degrees in divinity, and
the composers were of the modern
school who gave decidedly horld
touch to many of the scores. Every
hvmn ended in "Amen," fact which
had already caused communicates OF
the old school to protest, for they de-
clare that such a finale is ritualistic
and is too much like the services OF
the Roman Catholic and Protestant
Episcopal churches.
First to test the new hymnal was
Calvary church, Seventh avenue and
10th street. Among the innovations
there was a new time for h. Heber 5
''The Son of God, f" composed by Hen
nv f. Cutler. Another musical set
ting, that of Spencer Lane, was also
provided for in 'In the HourOf Trial. .
Hardly had the service closed than
an aged man approached the pastor,
the Rev. Charles L. GoOdell, and
asked him if he was aware of the fact
that the putting Of the "Amen" to
Methodist hymns had already stirred
up grave discussions among the
churches of Ireland. He expressed
surprise that such thing should be
instituted in this country. There is a
feeling among some of the older fol-
lowers of John Wesley that "Alnen"
should be spoken rather than sung.
MANY MEN OF MANY MINDS.
1t is also a surprise to the cOnserVa-
tive element to observe the scope
which has been shown in the selection
of hymns, for the one hundred and
three writer's included Roman Catho-
lies, Unitarians, Presbyterians, Epis-
copalians, Moravians, Lutherans and
many whose exact shading of religious
belief is not known at all.
Rudyard Kipling is represented by
