Some Fabulous Confabs.

Zeus had been enthroned and an
nounced that he could do up all the
other gods by his sheer strength, but
the king of heaven didn't seem to be
in very good humor for all that, and
the rest of the divinities wondered
what was wrong.
Taking Hebe to one side, -Zeus que
ried:
What was that stuff I drank last
night, and why under the shade of
Olympus do 1 feel like the second
joint of a stewed owl this morning?
You served the drinks, l think; maybe
you can tell me what's wrong"
"Huh!" snorted the pert young dam
sci of the wine cup. You ought to
know. It's your funeral. Don't you
know yesterday was Inauguration
day."
And was I inaugurated?" asked
Zeus in a stage whisper.
Sure; don't you feel like it?'
And the dread monarch, pressing his
hands to his aching brow, wondered
if the game was worth the candle
after all.

With remarkable luck or skill Cap
tain Mcleod piloted his shipwrecked
crew over that ugly swell safely into
small fishing harbor and then it was
that Mr.. Philip Thompson heard that
the Curlew was lost, and smiled, and
old seamen visiting Lloyds in London
read of the wreck and, shaking their
grizzly heads. wondered what a ship
bound for Shields was doing so far to
the north
Capt. Mcleod was not the only nav
1sator who, for some reason, lay a
course to the northward. When the
Moray came out of the Baltic instead
of clearing sou-west or even west,
Captain McCliesh pointed her nose
nor-west as If he had a cargo to de-
liver at the Shetland islands
Mr.. Philip Thompson was astound-
ed to receive the news that the steam
er Moray had arrived at Aberdeen
with the Curlew in tow, having pulled
her on the shore on the northeast
coast of Scotland. That the news was
not altogether welcome to Mr. Thomp-
son may. be inferred from the fact
that, though a vestryman, he swore
deeply and profanely when he heard it
and even shocked Captain Mcleod,
Who had arrived in Shields that morn

certificate Oddly enough, this mis-
fortune did not depress Captain Nc
Leod- He deposited in the bank of
Aberdeen a check for several hun
dred pounds, which check bore the sig
nature of Fergus McCliesh- With this
sum the skipper bought an interest
in fishing business and gave up the
sea.

Mr.. Thompson wrote rapidly and
then handed the paper to the skipper.
Captain Mcleod read, For the sum

The name Easter is of Saxon orig
in, being derived from that of the
Goddess Estera, in whose honor sac
rificeS and celebrations took place at
the opening of spring. With the aG-
vent of Christianity these heather
ceremonies were discontinued, but as
they had occurred at the time 81 the
year when the resurrection of Christ
was celebrated by the church the old
name was applied to the new festival.
With the Latin races, however, the
crucifxion and resurrection of Christ
having occurred at the time of the
Jewish passover they have called the
festival by a name suggesting that
fact, thus the French name for Eas-
ter is Paques and the Spanish Pas
Qua.
AS with all the other great festivals
of the church, the date when Easter
should be celebrated has been the
cause of bitter controversy. The
Eastern church insisted that it should
be celebrated on the day of the month
on which the event commemorated
occurred, and as the crucifixion is
supposed to have taken place on the
fourteenth of Nison, the first Jewish
month or Passover, on that date it
was commemorated, and the resurrec-
ton two days later. on the sixteenth
regardless of whether those dates
came on Friday and Sunday or not
The Western church entirely dis
carded the day of the month in ar
ranging for the celebration and in
sisted that the crucifixion should al
ways be concentrated on a Friday
and the resurrection on a Sunday
The matter finally oapoo nm for I'D
justment before the Council of Nj
caea. in 325, which decided in favor
of the Western contention, but the
Eastern church refused to change its
custom and thus gave rise to what is
known as the "quartodeciman here
sy."
At the time of the adoption of the
Gregorian calendar it was debated
whether the feast of Easter should be
given a fixed date or left movable as
before. and the decision was finally
reached in favor of the latter plan,
as conforming to the ancient custom
of the church. Easter therefore is al
ways the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens upon or NEXT
after the 21st of March (the equinox,
unless the full moon occur on Sum
day when Easter is the following
Sunday. 1t must be remembered
however, that it is not the actual
moon is the heavens nor even the
mean moon of the astronomers that
regulates the time of Easter, but an
altogether imaginary moon. whose
periods are so contrived that the new
(caIendar) moon always follows the
real new moon sometimes by two or
even three days. The effect of this
is that the 18th of the calendar moon,
which had from the times of Moses
been considered full moon for ecclesi-
astfcal purposes, generally fell on the
18th or 18th of the real moon and

rivals; Thursday in cOmmemOration
of the Lords supper, Friday of his
crucif1xion 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-
manned for hours in prayer until
morning. when they at once saluted
each other with the salutation,
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 a large candle is
blessed, and also the new fire to re-
call the resurrection of Christ, the
candle forming conspicuous object
in the sanctuaries of the churches I'M
I'll 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 sew
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 $50, AND
although the Puritans abolished If,
as they did Christmas and other
church celebrations, it has been re-
vived and given much of it's ancient
splendor. In this country all ths
churches observe it with special mu-
sic, and the fair sex make it the spe-
cial occasion for appearing with their
latest novelties in bonnets

Foreman of Texas Jury "Dropped"
Into Poetry.
A correspondent calls our attention
to an interesting verdict which was
rendered in the District Court of
Travis county, Tex, in 1857. The de-
PENDANT, Frank B. Rafer, at that time
well known citizen of Austin, was
accused of gambling, which was not
regarded as a very serious offense in
Texas in those early days, especially
If the offender CHANGED to be a prom
inent citizen. The prosecution was
generally treated as a pleasant jest,
but was nevertheless carried through
in earnest, and a jury composed of
lawyers brought in the following yer.
dict:
We, the jury, lawful men,
Fine the defendant dollars ten;
guilty man beyond all doubt,
Let the defendant pay himself out.
Thus we've said this freezing morn.
Your obedient servant, A. o. Horne,
Foreman.
The composition of this verdict is
attributed to A. w. Terrell, who at
the time of his service on the jury
was a young lawyer. Afterward he
attained great distinction in practice.
served as a District court judge, and
was United States minister to Tur-
key under President Cleveland. Other
members of the same jury who after
ward achieved renown were Charles

the Texas Supreme court, and F. w.

ers of the Texas bar.-Law Notes.

Legends in plenty cluster about tie

gives the supposed origin of 'the lily.

est; fairest, too, where fair ones are"
Long centuries ago angels coming as
celestial visitants to earth, found it
bare and gloomy in comparison with
the eternal blooms of their home in
Paradise They entered rocky tombs
and took the shining nantes on the
blessed dead and changed them to
flowers From this comes the beauti-
full and poetic superstition that on
Easter morning in every lily bud is
hidden an angel.

BY j. f. CARRERE

thus after the real full moon, which
is generally on the 18th 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 that
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 a 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 25. 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 mechanically inclined tc
figure out when Easter will occur in
any given year in this century. If So,
here is rule they can follow: First,
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 call
u,
plus &c plus Cd plus by and call
the remainder e; then Easter will be
the 22d plus d plus of March: or
the plus e minus 9 of April. There
are two exceptions to that rule: If
Easter falls under the calculation on
April 26, put it back to the 10Th of
that month, and when it falls ON
April 25, put it back to the 18th IN
less equal 20 and e equal 5.
With the substitution of Easter for
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
lied. 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 a symbol
of the beginning of life and therefore
was considered a very appropriate
present at the beginning of spring,
when all life is budding out and be-
ginning anew. The custom of pick
ing eggs" that is to say, of striking
their points together, which is a "a
vored amusement with boys in the
Eastern States, is also probably of
very ancient OIlSln, anu WAS prof.
ably practiced by the ancestors of
our juvenile Americans of to-day CEN
turtles ago. In Washington Easter
Monday is the great children's day of
the year. On that day thousands of
children congregate on the rolling
lawn behind the White House and
while the Marine Banda discourses
lively music they amuse themselves
rolling, eggs down the lawn

farewell. Don't let anything happen
to the old Curlew.
.sEes she eensured, STRIP inquired
the skipper
eAll my ships are insured replied
Mr. Thompson. The Curlew is in
sured for five thousand pounds
Mr.. Philip Thompson, who had been
for whole year vainly trying to sell
the steamer Curlew, watched her de-
parture thoughtfully.
Capt. Mcleod. standing on the
bridge, looked back at Mr.. Thompson
standing on the wharf and shook mis-
lead, thoughtfully.
Two days later the Moray, Captain
McCliesh, cleared for Reval.
The Curlew had prosperous pass

in discharging cargo. When she had
taken on ballast and was ready to re-
turn to Shields Captain Mcleod wired
that fact to his friend Captain Nc
Cliesh, who was then at Reval and
ready to sail on his return to England.
The shilling which Captain Mcleod
had spent in having Mr.. Philip Thomp-
son insure his safe passage from Got
tenburg to Shields did not appear such
a bad investment that night of the
twentieth of October when the Cur
lew, enveloped in as thick a fog as
ever crawled over the German ocean,
tossed in an ugly swell off the north
east coast of Scotland
