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 til 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 a curious custom in
Derbyshire called sugar-cupping. On
Easter morning the young men and
'maidens assembled at q spring, carry
ing in their hands cups partly filled
with honey or sugar. These they filed
with water from the spring. and, re-
peating a 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. and on Easter Tuesday the
women lifted the men. The process
is performed by two stout young
men or women joining their hands
across each others wrists aud 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 a 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 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
IN egg in a 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-
nection with the noon. Easter is in a
sense a lunar holiday, and from very
ancient times the hare has been a SYM
Dol of the noon. 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 moon is the open-eyed watcher Of
the night. and the young Of the hare
are born with their eyes open. which is
another very important reason for iden-
tifying the moon and the hare.
In this country the hare has been
transferred to its cousin, the rabbit.
Every one is familiar with the negro
| superstition Of the virtues of the left
hind foot of a rabbit killed in a grave
yard in the dark Of the NOON.

It is thought by some writers 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
err week. It was considered impolite
for a 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 a 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 WIS 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 or Easter
evening, and lasts till about 3 o'clock
in the morning. Not only. eggs, but ap-
pies and little cakes are used.
In Bohemia children roll many eggs
-. .1,- Ia4t;,x kl,1-, e+,,t n II 90 11oo
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 un-
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 seeus IN immense
mountain of molten 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
hitherward. Courts adjourn, Parlia-
ment rises and all work that can stop
pauses.
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 a fashion
has come in Of giving something else
than eggs and cards at Easter. Jew

high from the rivers surface, followed

SUCCESSFUL AIR FLIGHT
Prof. John Montgomery Makes Three
Trials of Aeroplane.
Cuts Loose From His Balloon at an
Altitude of Three Thousand
Feet.

San Francisco, Cal.-W1th an airship
modelled after the lines Of a bird, Pro.
fessor John Montgomery, Of Santa
Clara College, has made a series Of
flights in Santa Cruz County. He used
a balloon to take his aeroplane up to a
great height, but cut loose from it when
the desired height was reached, and
sailed with or against the wind, up
ward or downward, as he pleased.
Two large machines, the largest
weighing only forty-two pounds, were
constructed at Santa Clara College.
These were packed and transported
to the Santa Cruz Mountains. and the
services of an %aeronaut with a hot-air
balloon were secured.
Many trials with models were made
before any person was allowed to navi-
gate the large machines. No one who
saw the action of these models when
dropped from a height of 100 feet or so
ever had any apprehension of the ma
chimes on the point Of safety. What
tainty with which Professor Montgom-
cry could adjust the models and exactly
predict. every movement in their de-
scent to the earth.
ALI being arranged, the first flight
took place. The machine with the
aeronaut was cut loose at a height of
about 800 feet. The aeronaut, never
having been in al a%eroplane before,
could not persuade himself to remain
quietly in the machine and endeavor to
direct it, but chung to the side appar-
atus, and descending in a rapid spiral,
landed in perfect safety. The next
fight took place a day or so later and
was very successful.
The aeronaut, after cutting loose at
IN altitude Of $500 feet, put himself
first in opposition to the wind, gliding
for some hundreds of yards, and then,
turning with a graceful curve, with his
back to the wind. maintained himself
perfectly motionless in the lair for a
time; then, gliding with the wind, he
turned and descended in graceful
spirals, landing q few hundred feet
from the starting point.
On the third test the a%eroplane was
not cut loose from the balloon until a
height.Of 5000 feet was reached. With
it's distended wings IT looked like q
large, graceful bird soaring aloft, Gid
ing in great large curves, first against
the wind and then with it, and that
not only once, but very many times;
then, shooting down like a bird OF prey
after it's quarry, and then soaring up
again to greater heights than before.
The navigator finally landed in a field
of his own choosing, avoiding trees,
houses and other obstacles at.pleasure.

MRS. CHADWICK'S SENTENCE.
Ten Years in Prison, But Sentence
Stayed Pending Appeal.

Cleveland, Ohio.-A sentence of ten
gears was imposed upon Mrs. Cassie
L. Chadwick by Judge Robert W. Tay-
Ter in the United States District Court
at 5 o'clock in the evening. BY good
behavior she can reduce the time of
Imprisonment to eight years and four
months.
AS soon as the sentence was pro-
nOunced Lawyer j. P. Dawley. of coun-
sci for Mrs. Chadwick. took exceptions
to the sentences upon each count, K
cept the first. The defense intends to
make the claim that the court cannot
impose a separate sentence for each
count: that the law applies to the gen.
eral charge instead of each incident OF
a general charge.
