tivals; Thursday in commemoration
OF the Lords supper, Friday of his
crucifixion and Saturday the Easter
celebration really begins. In many
parts of Europe, especially in Russia.
and during the middle ages. services
were held all night before Easter un-
til cockcrow, which is the hour at
which the resurrection is supposed to
have taken place. The devout re-
mained for hours in prayer until
morning. when they at once saluted
each other with the salutatior,
Christ is risen." to which the answer
was. Yes. he is truly risen" That
form of salutation is still the one in
Russia Easter morn. In continental
Europe, however. and in Great Britain
the church began the celebration of
Easter at the mass of the previous
day, or Saturday. and the bells on the
churches, which had been silent since
Thursday, were again rung during
the service.
At the Saturday service. too, in the
Catholic churches large candle is
blessed. and also the new fire to re-
call the resurrection Of Christ. the
candle forming a conspicuous object
in the sanctuaries of the churches un-
til Ascension day, forty days later.
The season is of course one of great
rejoicing after the fasts of Lent and
formerly was celebrated with a num-
Der Of festivities which. according to
our modern ideas. are hardly connect
ed with an ecclesiastical event. Thus
in France it was customary to play a
game of ball. in which the partici-
pants were Bishops. Canons and 9th.
er church dignitaries. There were
dances in France as late as the sav-
enteenth century and other signs of
JOY and happiness. The law courts
were all closed and business seems to
have been generally suspended. In
England Easter has been celebrated
as Christian festival since 669, and.
although the Puritans abolished it,
as they did Christmas and other
church celebrations, it las been re.
vived and given much of its ancient
splendor. In this country all thu
churches observe it with special mu-
sic. and the fair sex make it the spc.
cial occasion for appearing with their
latest novelties in bonnets.

BIT OF REEDS HISTORY.
Building Where He Once Taught
School in California

SCnoOl IN california.
Until recently there stood in a pret-
ty oak grove in the heart of Stock
ton. Calf. forlorn-looking brick
building. which perhaps in its palmy
days had some architectural beauty to
recommend it; but for long time,
as age and neglect began to show dis
figuring hands upon the structure, its
windows stared blankly and its shut
ters creaked upon their rusty hinges
until people fancied the old place was
haunted.
If the old walls could have spoken,
what interesting anecdotes they would
have been able to relate of bygone
days. What tales might be told out
Of school,; for this building was once
Van Dorm hall, built expressly for
school purposes, and famous as the
place where Thomas B. Reed, late
speaker of the house of representa-.
tives. taught school for several
months.
He was then young man. giant
in size and strength. fresh from Bow
doin college. and he came to Stockton
to fill the position vacated by his for
mer classmate. W. E. Greene. who rec
commended him highly as his success
or.
1t was the first and last position
held by Tom Reed as a school teach.
err: for soon afterward he received the
appointment of assistant paymaster in
the U. S. navy. and he then returned
in 1864 to his eastern William
S. Rice in Sunset Magazine.

| thus after the real full moon, which
is generally on the 14th or 18th of
the month. With this explanation
then of what is meant by the full
moon, namely. that it is the 14th of
the calendar moon, the rule is thai
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the Pascal full moon, which hap
pens upon or next after the 21st of
March. and if the full moon happens
on Sunday. then Easter is the Sun
day following. One object of this ar
rangement was that Easter and the
Jewish Passover should not coincide
Easter is always between March %
and April rs. The last time Easter
came on March % was in 1918 and it
will not occur that early again in this
century.
1t may prove interesting to those
| who are mathematically inclined tc
figure out when Easter will occur in
| any given year in this century. If So
divide the date Of the year by 10 and
call the remainder a divide the date
of the year by and call the remain
] der b, then divide the date of the year
by and call the remainder C. Sec
ond. divide 19a plus "a by 80 and cal,
the remainder d. Third, divide 2b
plus 4c plus Cd plus by I and call
the remainder e; then Easter will be
the 22d plus plus e of March; or
the plus minus 9 of April. There
are two exceptions to that rule: II
Easter falls under the calculation on
April rs, put it back to the 18th of
that month. and when it falls on
April 25. put it back to the 18th un-
less equal 90 and equal 5.
With the substitution of Easter so-
the old festival of the Goddess Estera
all the old customs of the Saxons
were not abandoned, but, on the con-
trary, were preserved and Christian
ized. Thus the custom of giving
eggs, many of them beautifully col
ored, to friends at Easter was kent
up and the eggs were blessed by the
church. From the earliest ages the
egg has been considered as symbol
of the beginning of life and therefore
| was considered very appropriate

Eastern States. is also probably Of
very ancient origin, and was prob
ably practiced by the ancestors of
our juvenile Americans of to-day CEN
turtles ago. In Washington Easter
Monday is the great childrens day of
the year. On that day thousands of
children congregate on the rolling
