EASTER CUSTOMS.


Curious Observance of the Past ana
Present In England.
Some of the old Easter customs In
England are curiously barbaric, snd
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 maidens don
bright yellow carriers, 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, 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 erstwhile a 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 a sixpence
70
tried to snatch their hats, and to re-
cover hat cost slxpence.
In some old towns great cakes were
brought to church and there divided
among the young people.
A singular Easter custom was that
Of "lifting and weaving" A man sit
ting contentedly in his home was sur
prlsed by the servants and women Of
his household, who entered bearing q
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 sixpence On q
day in Easter week, either Monday or
Tuesday, the man lifted the women
with similar attendant ceremonies.
Edward 1. was lifted in his bed by
his ladies and maids Of honor, and q
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 tho
French cathedrals.
Even the sun, it is said, dances on
Easter day.
In Ireland great preparations were
made for the last day of Lent. Holy
Saturday, about 9 o'clock, a hen and O
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.

What kind Of an expression do you
wear habitually? Is it sour, morose,
repellent? Is it a mean, stingy, con-
temptible, uncharitable, intolerant ex-
preston? Do you wear the expression
Of a bulldog, a grasping, greedy, hum
CRY expression, which indicates an
avaricious nature? Do you go about
among your employees with a thunder
cloud expression, with melancholy,
Respondent, hopeless look on your face,
or do you wear the sunshine express
sion. which radiates good cheer and
hope, which indicates a feeling of good
will and Of helpfulness? Do people
smile and look happier when you ap-
proach them, or do they shrink from
you and feel chilly goose flesh sensa-
ton come over them as they see you

1t makes all the difference in the
world to you and to those whom you
influence what kind Of an expression
you wear.-Orison SWEET Marden I'm

FISHING LINES.


The Very Finest Are Those Formed
From S11kwOrm Gut.
Silkworm gut forms the best line for
fishing purposes, partly on account of
its great tenacity and partly because it
is SO transparent. Every year a suf-
f1cient number Of Spanish silkworm
grubs are selected for this purpose. Aft
er they have eaten enough mulberry
leaves and before they begin to spin
they are thrown into vinegar for sew
eral hours. Each insect is killed, and
the substance which the grub in the
natural course would have spun into a
cocoon is forcibly drawn from the dead
worm into q much thicker and shorter
silken thread.
The threads are then placed in pure
water for about four hours and after
ward dipped for ten minutes in So
luton Of soft soap. The fine oRter
skin is thus loosened so that the work
man can remove it with his hands.
The threads must be dried in shady
place and are often bleached with
sulphur vapor until they acquire the
bright appearance Of spun glass.-Lon-
don Telegraph.
