Hooker, the we'll known botanist, and
through his influence was appointed
collector of rare plants to the Horti-

was extraordinarily successful In his
finds. II was he who discovered lu-
pins, eschscholtzias and godetias as
well as many magnificent varieties of
pine trees, including the one bearing
his name. But when quite young
man he met tragic fate while plant
hunting. He was In the Sandwich
isles, and there the natives dig deep
pits to catch wild animals, covering
them over with branches and grass to
conceal their openings. On to. one of
these treacherous pits Douglas walked

mystery.
Twentieth century maidens 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 on Easter day?
Among the earliest of Easter GUS
toms are the following:
At Queens college, oxford, a herring
placed by the cook to simulate a man
on horseback Is set on corn salad and
brought to the table. This Is supposed
to represent a 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 erstwhlle Il 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.

a singular Easter custom was that
Of lifting 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 slxpence. On
day in Easter week, either Monday or
Tuesday, the man lifted the women
with similar attendant ceremonies.
Edward I. was lifted in his bed by
his ladies and maids of honor and n
record shows the payment made by
him to have been some $4,000 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, 1t is said, dances on
Easter day.
In Ireland great preparations were
made for the last day Of Lent. Holy

piece of bacon were put in the pot, and

Dirty Washing.

Natives Of Morocco think that Euro
peans and Americans are dirty. The
habit to which they object is that of
washing the hands or face In basin
and, still more, taking bath where the
water Is not running. The cleaner the
bather becomes, they say, the dirtier
the water he is washing with must
necessarily become. And eventually
the bather steps forth as cleansed
from water which is no longer clean.

Punch and Judy Came From China

Juuy Sstme
Punch and Judy dates back to about
1000 years before Christ.
When the Emperor Mu of the Chou
dynasty was making a tour through
the empire skilled mechanic named
Yen Shih was brought into his presence
to entertain him and the ladies of his
court. Yen Shih had some automatic
figures which not only were capable of
dancing, but of accompanying their
movements with song.
During the performance the puppets
cast such significant ghnces toward the
ladies that the emperor became angry
and ordered the execution of the orig
inator of the play. The mechanic rip
ped open the puppets and proved to his
astonished majesty that they were ar
tificial. Instead of being executed Yen
Shih was allowed TO repeat the per-
formance, which corresponds to Punch
and Judy in England and America
