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
It is a survival of Teutonic folklore of
unknown antiquity, and its religious
connection is with nature worship, and
that phase of 1t in which the moon was a
chief divinity The hare became 4 sym
boil of the moon, for several reasons
because 1t 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 4 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 e.
gave rise to many popular customs, in
Germany, among the scandinavian
peoples and in England. The qucerest
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 wa in religious legend
from the oldest times d symbol Of
opening life ana of Immortality. and

his disgust with certain magazine arti-
cles which represent the government

and members Of the senate to he Grim
inals who ought to be behind the bars.
The president has already established
beyond all question that he is the
sworn enemy of the CRATER, but he has
no patience with the writer's and mag
azines that would give the impression
that every other man in the public
service is CRATER He regards the
indiscriminate slander of public serv-
ants as nothing less than a crime, and
r4ently declared that men who would
deliberately misrepresent other men
and attack public officials without the
warrant OF facts were no better than
criminals.

before two or three other voices joined
in, other hymns were started and 1t
was discovered that village choir was
not in it.
The next Sunday evening this per-
formance was continued, and there
were number Of recruits to the Choir
us. A wider selection of hymns was
made and the song service was contin-
ued for over an hour. On the third
Sabbath one or two brought hymn
books with them ana the service took
on more formal character. 1t is now
the regular thing to have this Sunday
evening service of song, and the por-
ters of the hotel arrange chairs and
distribute hymn books among the audi
ence, SO that everybody can join in.
There are evidences, however. that the
congressman are wearying little OF
the good work. The ladies at the hotel
were charmed with the scheme and
they joined in in goodly numbers, until
now there are not enough male voices
to counterbalance the sopranos.

HISTORY OF EASTER.
Dav Commentaries Resurrection of
Christ-A Movable Festival
Among Christians.

1t is well known that in the early
Christian church for a 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 t.adi-
tion 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 It was necessary that a
Friday should always be set apart to
commemorate Chrlsts death, and a
sunday His resurrection The con.
test grew so warm that each side ex.
communicated the other Surely triv-
ialities could hardly 90 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 trua
that the apple Of discOrd which
seemed to the people Of that age to bo
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 a movable festival. It
Is always held on the next Sabbath
after the vernal full moon, with the
exception that Of the vernal full moon
should fall on a Sunday, then, to
avoid all conformity with the jew lsh
practice, Easter IS not kept iii the
following Sabbath The vernal full
moon Il that which either takes place
on March Il or on the next date after
falls on March 2l, and that day hap.
pens to be a Sunday. then Easter
cannot be held till April 2J which Is
the latest date on which Easter can
fall. the earliest being March %

a few dollars every week or month to

There is no anti-bucket law in Wash
ington, but the practice of clerks spec
ulating in them is frowned upon by the
higher officials in the departments.
Tha. makes no difference. however, as
the clerks claim they have a right to
do what they please with their own
money. At noon, when a half hour is
given for luncheon, hundreds of clerks
can be seen rushing out OF the big gov

About ten years ago little group OF

in the bucket shops and later went to
the legitimate exchange houses One
of them began with a $40 bill, which
in the course of four years had run UP
to SlO00,000. This is a historic case
and has inspired more patronage for
bucket shops than any other in dent
in the history of the city. This mans

but they will never see one of these
employees interfere with the smokers.
The fact is this rule at the capitol is a
= dead letter. 1t is one of the relics OF
great reform worked by the late
Speaker Reed in the tifty-fourth con-
gress when he drove out of the capito!

rule adopted that smoking must be
prohibited in the corridors and in the
elevators, and for some years this rule
was religiausly Kept, In latter times,
