Foreign easter Customs

On Easter Russian children receive
presents as our children do on Christ.
mas. On Easter Monday people go
about kissing relatives, friends and
acquaintance and exchanging eggs
There are sometimes very beautiful
ones of glass and porcelain and are
filled with sugar plums and peasants.
In Ireland children play game
called punching Eggs" This is
played with pan filed with sand or
sawdust, which is set on table,
around which the children stand, each
player all of one color and are
unlike those of the other players,
The object Of the game is for each
player to so place the eggs standing
upright in the sand as to bring five
in a row touching each other. In turn
each player pulls down an egg, some
times filling out a row for herself at
others cutting off the line OF an OPP
ponent. The one who first succeeds
in obtaining the desired row calls

THE raven, clough and crow

She was happy, she was gay, she
was excited, so excited as to be red in
the face; but that was no matter, she
was always red in the face, the pref.
tier for it, to my mind She was ex.
cited because she had discovered
just inside the fence, and not so far
away, a beautiful white lily. Miss
Rose Bud had never seen lily before,
but she knew a flower so tall and
stately and white, must be the famous
lily, so she Immediately felt great
longing to play with the dear lily,
and toss her about and pull her and
brush her with rose leaves. Poor

Sude she had become. She tossed
about and peeked in and out, and up

get no nearer the lily.
So she sang, "LtllineIe. sweet LII

Fatalities for Railroads In Hazard.
Gus Posts Twice as Great.
New York, April liz That tho ordi.
nary view OF the dangers attendant
upon mining in the anthracite regions
of Pennsylvania Is greatly overdrawn,
1t requires only short excursion into
the statistical field TO prove. or
course the hazards are greater than
in the ordinary outdoor pursuits but
they are not as great for instance as
some phases OF railroading,
In 1895, for example, among the
1850 employees in the anthracite
mines 422 or 30 per thousand met
death by accident, while l120 or "a
per thousand sustained non.fatal In
juries,
In the same year among the 1855,
034 railway employees In this coun
try, 1911 or % per thousand met "a
tai, and 1866 or 32,7 per thousand
met non-fatal accidents.
However, II has been pointed out
that only about one.quarter of the
railway employees are in any special
danger These in that year were the
16I73i trainmen and 43,15S switch
men, flagmon and watchmen, and this
class suffered nearly threefourths oil
the accidents with the death rate OF
63 per thousand employees, or nearly
twice the rate for fatalities among the
inside anthracite workers, which was
figured at 3.S per thousand,
