Easter Facts.

The. observance of Easter was not
instituted until some-36ss2e a after
the death of Christ. The name was
taken from the ancient Anglo-Saxon
goddess of spring, Ostern, or Eastre,
whose festival was celebrated about
the time of the Christian Easter. No
celebration was arranged by the Jew
ish Christians at all, but on the 18th
day of the month, Immediately follow
ing the vernal equinox, which was the
day on which the old Jewish feast OF
the Passover was celebrated. the Jew
ish Christians celebrated the death of
Christ, to them the paschal lamb,
Christ having died, according to their
chronology, on the date of the cele-
bration of the Jewish Passover. The
celebration Of the Jewish Christians
was therefore for the death and not
the resurrection of Christ. The gen.
tile Christians, however, were not
bound by any of the Jewish traditions.
Sunday being the Lords day to them,
they therefore celebrated the resur-
rection of Christ on the Sunday follow
ing the 18th day of the moon of March.
the day on which Christ died. The
Jewish Christians thus celebrated the
14th day of the month. irrespective of
the day of the week, and the gentle
Christians celebrated a Sunday, ire
spective of the day of the month. IL
this confusion had not been resolved
by the proper ecclesiastical authori-
ties we might have been celebrating
the day at the present time according
to our individual religious predilec-
lions.
The early church was torn with Bit
ter dissensions regarding this conflict
of custom as to the celebration OF
Easter. VHrlous attempts were made
to fix a stable day which would be OBJ
served by the church as a whole. but
they all failed. Finally, at the council
Of Nice, A. d. 1926, the question was
settled once for all, and the date now
observed throughout the Christian
world was established. Easter day
was then fixed as the first Sunday aft
er that full moon which happens IN
or next after March Fl. If the full
moon happens on a Sunday the follow
ing Sunday is Easter.
In France the year began with
Easter Sunday until the year 1854, the
date of Shakespeare's birth, when
Charles TX. fixed Jan. 1 as the first
day Of the year.

tooth in another million years and who

a little time is required to disentangle
the truth from the tradition.
Now, be sure not to fall into the I'M
scientific error of confusing the sacred
hare with his humble American cous-
in, "Br'er Rabbit" The rabbit Is all
well enough in his way, and without
him we shouldn't have Uncle Remus,
perhaps, and a lot of people would
instead of prowling around graveyards
in the dark of the oon
But the rabbit is not the hare, and
he has nothing to do with Easter.
There are no hares in the east and
south, and on the plains they insult
the American hare by calling him a
jack or jackass rabbit.
This distinction between the hare
and the understood rabbit Is really I'm
portant, and chiefly because the hare
burrows in the ground, while the hare
makes forms of grass for his habita-
ton.
1t is Germany from which we have
borrowed the tradition of the Easter
hare, who is quite as important a fig
ure In his way In the fatherland as is
st. Nicholas himself at Christmas.
Where did the Germans get the hare
myth? To determine that you would
have to make a pretty long excursion
into the past. And perhaps In the end
1t would be sup to-" the sphinx to an
swer you.
For 1t is a fact, even If 1t is a fable.
too, that the moon and the hare and
Easter, likewise the Easter egg are all
dependent the one upon the other and
have been since the time when Eastre,
the Saxon goddess of the east, gave her
name to our Christian festival. Now,
you may think, with your limited
knowledge Of Egyptology, that the
Egyptians had no language otherAeAan
the queer signs you may see today
transcribed from obelisks, but you are
mistaken. Those hie%roglyphics were
perhaps merely st%enographic notes die
tated by Osiris to Isis and afterward
Transcribed in the cuneiform tablets.
With the lapse of ages some of them
have grown so "cold' that the best
handwriting experts of today cannot
decipher them. But in the everyday
language of the Nile region the equiva-
lent of hare is ''un." which In English
is "open.' "to open," 'the opener"
also the hare has beer from remote
times a symbol for the moon.
The hare is a nocturnal animal, and

hare's eyes are so situated on the sides
Of its head that it can see all around.
You never heard a hare make that old
sneering excuse for carelessness, you
might think l had eyes In the back of
my head" To all intents and purposes
the hare has.
Well, then, to make 1t quite clear,
"un' Is hare, or "open," and the moon

Egyptians, being a people of few, be-

type of periodicity, human and lunar,
and as an opener became associated
with the opening Of the new year at
Easter" Finally it anne to be con

claims triumphantly the enthusiastic
scientist to whom we are indebted for
this information.
In Germany, If little Hans and Gretel
are good, the white hare steals softly
into the house on Easter eve, when
everybody is sleeping, and leaves in
the hooks and corners many brightly
colored eggs for the "k~inderkins." In
the morning the children and theil
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1909-04-02

parents hunt for these eggs amid grea
excitement. In Swabia and Hesse chill
dren are actually sent to the hare's
nest in search of eggs. Mannhardt
goes still further, saying that the hare
is reputed to be a fire and soul bringer
and that children are supposed to ba
procured from the nests. 1t would
seem, however, that the stork has
largely usurped this function. which
some persons will consider fortunate In
view Of the immense number of eggs
laid by the hare.
The hare myth has penetrated also
to England, and 1t is written: I'm
Warwickshire, at Coleshill, If the
young men of the parish can catch a
hare and bring it to the parson before
10 o'clock In the morning of Easter
Monday (the moor day., he is bound to
give them a calf's head, 100 eggs and
a groat, the calf's head being probably
a survival of the worship Of Baal or
the sun as the golden calf"
The hare myth is of comparative re-
cent adoption In this country. Not un-
til the early sixties did the Presbyte-
rians take note of the day. And New
England was the last section of u
country to bend-or unbend-in the de
rection of the Easter celebration.
So whether your Easter egg be laid
by hen or hare is determined wholly
upon what creed you profess. II you
are a doughty Scotchman or his de-
scendant, a blue Presbyterian, your
Easter egg was doubtless laid by a
barnyard hen in the round of her daily
household duties and bought at the
corner grocery, for there is no record
of the timorous hare ever having EN-

She had been to Easter service,
This sweet, grave maiden of four.
The lilies were set In perfumed aisles
From the altar down to the door.
Fragrance and light were about her.
Anthems ecstatic were sung,
While the air was full of the Ginning
From bells in the tower hung.
The light from a violet window
Fell over a picture there.
1t lit the tall cross beside 1t
With a glory radiant. fair,
A picture of the Lord Jesus
Coming way from the tomb,
With cherub faces above him
And angels forms in the gloom.
The children bore away lilies,
Each In a tightly shut hand,
Bore them to homes rich or humble,
A sweet, happy Easter band,
And baby was shown a new sister,
Come on the glad Easter morn,
A child of lilies and chimes and hope,
A child on the Easter day born.
A fond smile came to her features,
A glad light shone in her eyes.

Easter Customs.

In Russia it is considered no crime
to be found intoxicated during Easter
week, even the policemen being often
under the m%ellowing influence Of
vodka.
Egg racing is a favorite amusement
of Russian, German and French chill
dren. The eggs are rolled down a hill,
the prize going to the child whose egg
rolls the greatest number of races
without damage to its shell. In Ger
many tracks are made of twigs, down
which each egg may roll without inter-
ference from any other one, and the
boy whose egg arrives unbroken at the
foot Of the hill collects toll from his
opponent whose egg is cracked.

To occupy her place.
With maiden joy the Organdie
Essayed to take her stand
Just where she thought the morning

Could slyly kiss her hand
And Their the Grenadine walked up
With lace and frills galore
And crowded TO the foremost place
Upon that showroom floor,
Unmindful of the modest Cloth,
With military braid.

Or natty Tailor-made

And babe them all aside.
