EASTER CUSTOMS.
curious Observances of the Past and
Present In England.

Some of the old Easter customs i'll
England are curiously barbaric, and
even at the present time the observ-
ance of this particular festival is sur
rounded with more or less superstition,
| lust enough to lend to it the charm Of
mystery.
Twentieth century maide1s don
bright yellow garters, secure in their
belief that they will be engaged before
the year ends. Others give their tresses
"a hundred strokes three times" with
| the brush while thinking intently Of
their hearts desire. And who does not
take good care to wear their new
things OH Easter day?
Among the earliest of Easter Gus
toms are the following:
At Queens college, Oxford, a herring
placed by the cook to simulate man
on horseback is set on corn salad and
| brought to the table. This is supposed
to represent red herring riding away
on horseback and is the last vestige Of
the once popular. pageants of rejoicing
| for the end of the Lenten fast.
1t was erstwhile habit in English
| towns for the boys after the Easter
service to run into the street and
snatch the buckles from the shoes of
| the girls whom they were able to catch.
Easter .Monday, however, it was turn
about, and the women chased the men.
If the men refused to pay sixpence
| ON he, 4o hnOfo thn
tried to snatch their hats, and to re-
| cover a hat cost siXpence.
In some old towns great cakes were
| brought to church and there divided
among the young people.
A singular Easter custom was that
| OF "lfting and weaving" A man sit
ting contentedly in his home was sur
prised by the servants and women Of
| his household, who entered bearing a
great armchair lined with white and
decorated with ribbons and favors
The man was forced to sit in the chair
and be lifted by the women, to each of
whom he must give a sixpence. On a
day in Easter week, either Monday Or
| Tuesday, the man lifted the women
with similar attendant ceremonies.
Edward l. was lifted in his bed by
his ladies and maids of honor, and a
record shows the payment made by
him to have been some $1,000 in six
pences.
In older days in England monks at
Easter acted plays in churches, the IA
vorite subject being the resurrection.
Not only were these plays enacted in
the churches on these festival days, but
there was dancing, particularly in the
French cathedrals.
Even the sun. it is said, dances on
Easter day.
In Ireland great preparations We're
made for the last day Of Lent. Holy
Saturday, about 8 O'Clock, a hen and a
piece Of bacon were put in the pot. and
at IL there were eating and much mer-
rymaking At all rose to see the sun
dance in honor of the resurrection.
