A Partisan actor who formerly made
a good income in his profession is now
earning his living as a cab driver. He
has taken this step TO spite his divorced
wife. Wherever he went she put a lien

only occupation in which his wife was

HONEST CONFESSION.


There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been In error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession of the fact.
A case in point is that Of an eminent
practitioner, one of the good old school,
who lives in Texas. His plain, UNI
vanished tale needs no dressing up:
II had always had an intense preju-
dice, which can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never read a line of the many ads
of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food
till last winter,

health, and visiting my youngest son,

It is thought by some writer's that
the custom of Easter eggs is derived
from the Egyptians, who regarded the
egg as a sacred emblem Of mankind
after the deluge.
The early Christians regarded eggs
as symbols of the resurrection. In old
times as many as twenty dozen eggs
were piled upon the table during East
er week. 1t was considered impolite
for q guest to refuse to eat an Easter
egg with the host.
In Spain and Italy public sports with
eggs formed part of the Easter festivi-
ties.
In Russia people call on their friends
on Easter day as we do on New Years
day and exchange eggs with them,
In Germany number Of eggs are
placed in a basket, and one person
losses. them into another basket filled
with soft shavings, while a second per-
son runs to a certain spot and back.
The one who accomplishes his task
! first wins the eggs.
Egg rolling is also common in Ger
many, where tracks of sticks laid side
| by side are made for the eggs The
sport begins at midnight on Easter
evening, and lasts till about 8 O'Clock
in the morning. Not only eggs, but ap-
Piles and little cakes are used.
In Bohemia children roll many eggs
in a row. letting them start all at once
to see which will reach the bottom OF
the hill first. In Washington thous-
ands of children play on the White
House grounds the day before Easter,
rolling eggs. Two roll their eggs to-
gether, and the child whose egg is I'M
broken at the bottom Of the slope
claims the other egg if it is cracked.
At Rome Easter is still celebrated
with great magnificence. On this day
the Pope wears the triple crown. the
emblem Of pontifcal, imperial and
royal authority united. The jubilate
is chanted at this season and there is
universal exaltation. At Easter, too,
takes place the illumination Of St.
Peters, which, with its thousands "of
bewildering lights seems an immense
mountain of molton silver
In England Easter is considered a
very important occasion and the holt
day season which is attached to it is
second in interest only to that of
Christmas At Easter all the universe
ties and schools in the realm close, and
every boy who has a home turns him

In this country the observance of
Easter is pretty general, too. New
England, because Of Puritan preju-
dices, failed to observe it for many
years, but she, too. has fallen into line
and makes much of Eastertide.
Within the last few years fashion
has come in of giving something else
than eggs and cards at Easter. Jew

the sun went around like a mill wheel
on Easter morning and gave three
leaps. Those who watched for this
feat were supposed to see it best in a
pool or pail Of water. Any motion or
light wind on the surface Of the water.
of course, strengthened the illusion.
Perhaps the origin of the belief in
the efficacy of the Easter water was
the custom of drawing water on Easter
morn and washing in it, if the wind
were in the east, that the many ills
caused by the east wind might be
avoided.
If tie sun shines on Easter morn we
are told it will shine on Whitsuntide,
and, indeed, little on every Sunday
throughout the year, while if it rains
on Easter we are sure to have rain for
six Sundays following.
There used to be curious custom in
Derbyshire called sugar-cupping. On
Easter morning the young men and
maidens assembled at spring, carry
ing in their hands cups partly filed
with honey or sugar. These they filed
with water from the spring, and, re-
peating verse Of doggerel, drank the
mixture. In ancient times both lay
men and ecclesiastics used to play at
ball in the churches for tansy cakes at
Eastertide, and tansy cakes and tansy
buildings are still favorite dishes in
many parts Of England.
Another curious Easter custom was
that of "heaving" or lifting" On
Easter Monday the men lifted the

women lifted the men. The process
is performed by two stout young
men or women joining their hands
across each others wrists and then
making the person to be lifted sit down
ON their arms. when they lifted them
three times.
In Germany the Easter hare occupies
about as large place in the child
heart as does old st. Nicholas. The
kinderkins go to bed on Easter Eve
very early and very much in doubt as
to whether they have been good enough
to merit a visit from the hare. The
next morning there is at first much dis
appointment as they go about with
their parents looking for eggs and see
none. Presently father or mother spies
an egg in hiding place. and before
long all the beautiful eggs the hare
has laid are found.
The connection between Easter and
the hare springs from the hare's con-
neetion with the moon. Easter Is in q
sense lunar holiday, and from very
ancient times the hare has been sym
Dol Of the moon. The hare comes out
at night to feed, carries its young for a
month and both moon and hare were
thought to have the power of changing
their SEX

the night, and the young of the hare
are born with their eyes open. which is
another very important reason for iden-
