EASTER IN CAIRO.
Observance of the Day Most Notable
Event of Year in the Egyp-
tian City,

At the Greek church in Cairo, the OBJ
servance OF Easter is the most notable
event of the year. A traveller who at
tended service there thus describes it:
"A goodly portion of the early sery-
ice was conducted within the farther
depths of the altar behind the iconostas-
is. There was nothing in sight but
the magnificent screen, but we could
hear voices that seemed to come from
the recesses of a cavern alternately
chanting and intoning in strange, I'M
familiar accents.
During this part of the service the
church was dimly lighted, and the Curl
ously CARRIED figures moving through the
gloom in the body of the church seemed
singularly weird and uncanny. At a
given moment the lights were turned
up, and each person in the audience
lighted his candle. The great dome re-
Elected the myriads of lights until our
eyes were almost blinded by the sudden
glare.
cat this point the golden door in the
center of the iconostasis opened, and
there came forth from the holy Of HOLES,
into which no layman may enter, a
pageant of semibarbarc splendor. A
herald with staff in hand and wearing
the dress of the native Greek cleared the
way. His short, white kilt stood out
like the gauze skirts Of ballet-dancer:
he wore coarse, white stockings, gar
tered above the knee, and richly-em-
broidered zouave-jacket.
Boys carrying incense burners pre-
coded the patriarch, who was followed
by acolytes, bishops, priests and other
ecclesiastical dignitaries all in full
canonicals and each carrying lighted
candle.
"The vestments of the venerable
patriarch were gorgeous with gold en-
broidery and precious stones. Some OF
the dignitaries carried palm branches
in their hands OF the two who were
near the end of the procession, one car.
ried an icon-sacred picture-the frame
richly set in jewels, which he turned tc
the audience for generation, while the
other held in his hand large Bible sci
with precious stones.
Forth from the royal door they
came through the center of the church
and with slow and measured step made
their way into the courtyard-a mag
nificent spectacle. The dignitaries gath
cred about the reading desk, while the
patriarch recited the liturgy under tho
starlit sky."-The Pilgrim.

EASTER EGG-ROLLING.
Annual Carnival Enjoyed by Wash.
ington Children on the White
House Lawn.

Ten thousand children, varied in age
and size and color, perhaps 100000 vivid
hued eggs, and upward of 10000 grown
folks watching this strange amalgama-
ton of color, is the essence of the Easter
egg-rolling carnival in the presidents
back yard. This monster egg-rolling
fete is custom which has been handed
down from one generation of children
to another. Where and when it origi-
mated no person in this age has been
able to determine, but all Washington
combines to guard 1t as a privilege in
violate. This great "play-time" is not
devoted exclusively to the pastimes
wherein the colored eggs are an all-im-
portant adjunct, for many of the little
visitors who have come unprovided
with baskets of the fragile playthings
spend the entire day skipping the rope,
playing with dolls, sailing miniature
boats in the great fountain basins, or
indulging in some other diversion dear
to the childish heart. Of course, eggs,
decorated in many bright colors, en-
ployed in any one of dozen ways, con-
stitute the reigning "fad." The older
children in the vast assemblage on the
White House lawn usually indulge in
games of "toss and CATCH" pastime
which is likely to seriously deplete the
stock of eggs, or egg picking" which
necessitates an even more prodigal use
of the delicate souvenirs of the day.
Picking" consists in the striking OF
two eggs together until one or the other
is cracked, whereupon the owner Of the
shell which has failed to stand the novel
test must surrender the damaged egg
to his victorious competitor.
Another game of the same order may
be played by two youngsters seated
upon the ground several feet apart
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-04-13

Each selects an egg from the basket at
her side and simultaneously they roll
forward the bright-colored ovals, with
the hope, of course, that collision will
result and the relative strength Of the
two eggs be determined. Every year
finds dozens of new egg games" in
vented.
The features of this gala day at the
home Of the president, however, which
are likely, after all, to most deeply inn
press the casual spectator are found in
the beautiful democracy of the fete and
the almost unfailing good-nature which
prevails among these acres of children.
The junior members Of the families OF
cabinet ministers and senators, freed
for once from the sovereignty of nurses,
enthusiastically roll eggs to the grimiest
and raggedest little youngsters in all
Washington. Rich and poor, black and
white, mingle together for this one day
on terms Of perfect equality; and,
strange as 1t may seem, seldom does
there creep to the surface any mani
festation of envy on the part OF the
poorer children for the possessions OF
their more fortunate playmates. 1t is
only the happy possessor Of goose
egg or turkey-eg who stands superior
to his fellows in this vast assemblage.
Mayhap he is piccaninny in tattered
clothes, but as the champion "egg-pick.
er" he is for the time being the idol OF a
band of loyal satellites Woman's

THE RABBIT AND EASTER.
How the Little Animal Came to Be
Connected with the Celebra-
ton of the Day.

The part the hare plays in the cele-
bration of Easter has nothing whatever
to do with the resurrection of Christ.
1t is a survival of Teutonic folklore of
unknown antiquity, and its religious
connection is with nature-w worship and
that phase of it in which the moon was
chief divinity. The hare became a SYM
Dol of the moon, for several reasons
because it comes out at night to feed
because the female carries her young
for month, representing the lunar
cycle; because the young are born with
their eyes open and were tabled never
to close them, thus resembling the
moon, "open-eyed watcher of the
night" in one way or another there
grew up a fund of stories in which the
connection of the hare, the lunar period
and the paschal full moon, which fixes
the date of Easter, developed so that i,
gave rise to many popular customs, in
Germany, among the Scandinavian
peoples and in England. The uueerest
bit OF this folklore f. that of the white
hare, which the children are told comes
into the house on Easter eve and leaves
in corners eggs adorned in beautiful
colors, which every good child ma,
have. The egg WAS in religious legent
from the Oldest times a symbol O
opening life and Of immortality, an,
naturally of The resurrection, so her

A native Mexican Easter is curl
Gus exhibition of ignorance and super
stition. The people delight in pro-
cessions and in weird ceremonies. At
various places they enact passion
plays which are very real to the In
dians. The characters in the play
carry out their parts with great real
ism. Until recently it was a COM
mon occurrence for a man to volun-
teer to be crucified, and actually to al
low his bigoted countrymen to per.
form the awful act. The volunteer
was criminal, who, If he came out
Of the ordeal alive, received a full
and free pardon. II not infrequently
happened that the man was killed. for
he was made to ride with his face to.
ward the tail of mule, while the
bowling mob was privileged to beat
him with sticks and stones.
