EASTER IN GERMANY.
Quaint Customs Observed ON the
Great BnroniaI Estates.

In Germany some quaint Easter Gus
toms are observed by the peasantry
At sunrise on Easter morning one is
awakened by the servants on the great
estates singing Easter anthems be-
meath the window TO the accompani-
ment OF a small but excellent orches-
ira maintained among them. Then the
baron and all his guests assemble in
the great bar OF the castle while the
entire establishment passes In review
before them.
Each couple carry-fOr they march
two by two-something which indicates
10 what department they belong and
Is also emblematical OF the life and
death Of the Saviour or Of something
connected herewith. The washerwo-
man carries a tub white as snow con
tanning a large doll intended TO rep
resent the infant Jesus; the woodmen
have shining Ratchet. its bright blade
driven into a small cross Of some black
wood. the gardeners a large bouquet
surmOunted by a crown Of thorns; the
cooks huge cake baked i'm the form
of 4 sepulcher; the housemaids a
broom wrapped in white rag, emblem
atical Of the SaviOur's winding sheet;
the blacksmiths n great sledge ham
mer and spikes. to represent the nipple
ments which nailed him TO the cross,
while the masons bring up the rear,
trOwel in hand and carrying a large
stone to represent the one which was
rolled away from Christ's tomb.
AS each pair pass the master of the
house they make a profound obelsance
and receive from him a gift of money.
This quaint Easter custom has been
observed for many generations and is
universal on all the great estates OF
Germany.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Hangs from Railroad Trestle.

Manitowoc. George Schadeburg
saved his own life and that of his four
year-old son the other day by clinging
10 the ties of q railroad trestle with one
arm while heavily loaded train passed.
The man was crossing the Wisconsin
Central bridge near the city with his
two boys and the younger boy had
trailed in the rear. Schadeburg heard q
train approaching and ran back to save
the boy, but was unable TO clear the
bridge. Grasping the lad in one arm
the father swung from the side of the
bridge with the other and held on until
the train had passed. Schadeburg's arm
was badly wrenched and he was COM
pietely exhausted when assistance
reached him.

The custom OF Easter eggs is one OF
ancient origin. being derived from the
Greeks and Romans, who employed
eggs. and undoubtedly colored eggs,
as accessories for their pagan festi-
walls. At any rate magical powers
have always been ascribed to eggs in
times gone by. and Cesarius Won HE'S
terbach, who wrote in the middle ages,
tells many stories OF bewitched eggs.
They were said TO be able to fly of
their own accord toward the sun, and a
certain celebrated egg was believed 10
have been laid by a rabbit, which egg
when Matched produced n basilisk.
