THE RABBIT AND EASTER.
How the Little Animal Came to Be

unknown antiquity, and its religious
connection Is with nature-wOrship, aud
that phase of it in which the moon was
chief divinity. The hare became sym
Dol of the moon, for several reasons
because 1t comes out at night to feed
because the female carries her YOUNG

their eyes open and were tabled never

moon, "oren-eyed watcher of the
night" In one way or another there
grew up 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 II
gave rise to many popular customs, In
Germany, among the Scandinavian
peoples and in England The queercst
bit of this folklore Is 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 may
have. The egg was in religious legent

HISTORY OF EASTER.
Day Commentaries Resurrection Of
Christ-A Movable Festival
Among Christians.

II is well known that in the early
Christian church for long series Of
years warm disputes took place as to
the proper date on which to observe
Easter The churches OF Asia Minor,
following what is called The tradi-
ton OF St John" kept the fourteenth
day of the Jewish month Nissan. The
western churches, however, supported
by the church at Jerusalem and few
others, said II was necessary that
Friday should always be set apart to
commemorate Christ's death, and a
Sunday His resurrection The con.
test grew so warm that each side ex-
communicated the other. Surely trlv-
ialities could hardly go much further!
II is difficult for us TO imagine that
our fathers could have disputed. and
separated the one from the other, over
a matter Of this kind: but It Is true
that the apple OF dscord which
seemed to the people of that age TO be
made of gold, to their successors ap-
pears to be made only of iron or clay.
With us, as is well known, Easter is
what is called movable festival. II
is always held on the next Sabbath
after the verna> full moon. with tho
exception that OF the vernal full moon
should fall on a Sunday, then, to
avoid all conformity with the Jewish
practice, Easter is not kept till the
following Sabbath. The vernal full
moon Is that which either takes place
on March q or on the next date after
March 81. II the vernal full moon
falls on March 81, and that day hap
pens TO be Sunday. then Easter
cannot be held till April 25. which is
the latest date on which Easter can
fall, the earliest being March %.
This ia certainly q very mechanical
contrlyance. and one which most peo-
pie and It difficult to understand or
remember. Owing to obvious connec-
ton between Easter and the Jewish
Passover, the French call the former
Paques (from the Hebrew Pesech,
which means A passing over). and OBJ
viously some such title as this would
be more appropriate than ours. which
comes from the Saxon goddess Eostre,
believed to the same as the Syrian As.

Denmark's Dead Kings.

They were entombed in the Cathedral
of Roskilde, which may be called the
Danish Westminster Abbey, where the

month. The roof is supported by large
masonry pillars, and nearly every col
ann is the tomb of king. The dead
monarchs were walled up in them In q
