cross bun, and Is then presented with
half-a-crown on behalf Of q lady living
In Westgate.
The Good Friday morning bun Is
nearly general in Christian countries,
and in few households would the fast
day breakfast be considered complete
without the shining, spicy cris-crossed
cake.
In Italy the yesterday breakfast Is
usually blessed by the priest, who tours
through his parish with his acolyte lh
attendance, giving his benedictlon to
the customary feast OF eggs and sau-
sage.
In Rome and other large italian cities
there is a great house cleaning at
Easter, and itinerant merchants appear
in the streets vending long-handled
roughly-made brooms with which TO
brush spiders'-webs from lofty ceilinN
corners. This Easter cleaning Is with
out doubt the survival of the Purifica-
ton, which is part Of the Jewish Pass
over.
In Rome there is also a curious wom-
en'a gathering on Holy Thursday.
Women Of all kinds and conditions,
from the highest of the high TO the low
est of the low, throng to st. Peters and
pass in procession before the Cardinal
Penitentiary, who, tapping each with a
long cane, confers absolution.
The dawn of Good Friday sees the
repetition of a weird medieval custom
In the little Spanish town of Orduna.
near Bilbao. Directly the first flash OF
the dawn touches the mountains the
PROCESSION of Silence" passes through
the streets. The men who form the
procession are all dressed in black vel
vet. II on their heads are enormous
black caps. Their faces are covered
completely, save the eyes, with black
velvet masks, and in their midst Is a
black-draped crucifx. The origin of
the procession is lost In antiquity, but 1t
is undoubtedly part of an old mourning
custom.
Altogether more pleasant is the Rou-
manian prison-visiting procession, when
women and children of the upper and
middle classes visit the prisoners n
give them cross-marked cakes.

MR.. FROG AS A FLY-CATCHER.

Have you not often wondered, when
you saw a frog OF a toad catching
flies. how he could run his tongue out
SO far, and how he could do 1t so quick
ly? This is the way it is done: The
tongues of both the frogs and h toads
are fastened on near the front of the
mouth, and the end that Is down the
throat is free, so when a frog wants tc
stick out his tongue, all he has to do Is
to flick 1t out, and there 1t is, full
length.
There Is another funny thing about a
frogs tongue which helps him in catch
ing flies, says the Circle. It is covered
with a sticky substance, 30 that when
it touches a fly there he sticks, II Mr..
Frog can eat him at his leisure.

EASTER CUSTOMS.

n N English magazine gives the fol-
"A lowing account Of some curious
@sN Easter ~observances In other
countries wher they do things so diff
ferently from the people of this land:
One of the prettiest customs is con
nected with the church bells. In all
Roman Catholic countries the usual
peal and chime is silent during Passion
Week, and the place of the brazen-
throated summons to worship is taken
by curious wooden instruments called
''crecelles."
In order that the children may no.
tice the absence of the bells changing
notes they are told that the angels
have carried the bells off to be blessed
at st. Peters at Rome.
The use OF wooden bells during the
week preceding Easter is also a GUS
tom of the Greek Church. The "bell'
is usually a ~curiously carved wooden
plank suspended by two chains, and
is struck with a wooden mallet by the
priests themselves.
Many of these planks give out a
peculiarly sweet tone, and those at the
Convent of Mar Saba In Palestine are
famous for their mellow reverberation
In the Puy De LONE districts of
France the bells are replaced by a
horn, and at the church at Ambert
this horn Is an instrument of enormous
dimensions and archaic design. 1t Is
sounded from one of the parapets of
the church, and seeing that it is a good
deal larger than the average man, the
blower has something of a task.
Most folk know of the royal benevo-
lence on Maunday Thursday, but few
will be aware of a quaint custom which
takes place every Good Friday in the
churchyard of st. Bartholomew the
Great, Smithfield.
Twenty-one poor old women each pick
UP a sixpence which has been placed on
a particular tomb. The name of the
donor Of this aims is completely for
gotten, but the custom has been fol-
lowed for a number of centuries. After
the ceremony each old lady gets a hot

THE JOINING COUNTRIES.

Southern America and Africa are the
coming countries. A half-century ago
or more the great ~geographer, Arnold
Guyot, predicted that within two or
three generations the reaction Of the
East upon the West would produce an
equilibrium. and that then the reaction
OF the North upon the South would
begin in earnest, and the great streams
OF population and traffic would flow at
right angles to those which they have
followed during historical times. With
the increase of population and a control
OK mankind over the forces of nature
OF which Professor Guyot could have
no conception. the increase of ex-
changes between North and South
seems likely to begin sooner than he
could have anticipased-San Franchises

CURIOUS FRIENDSHIP.

A curious case of friendship between
birds most strangely assorted is re-
ported In the London Globe from
Rosenberg, in Prussia. A hen had just
Matched a single chicken, when one
morning, nobody knew how. there APP
peared in the nest a young sparrow,
Just beginning to wear its first fluff of
feather. The chick and the sparrow be-
came fast friends at nee. n the par
ent hen, taking kindly to he change
ling, gave equal care to both alike, the
sparrow hopping about the nest at first,
and the hen never going far away, and
sheltering both her young at night,
until, as the sparrow's wings grew
stronger, he at first INDUCED in little
fights, returning to the sheltering
wings atsnight, and finally disappeared
altogether int the sparrow world.

AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

When a beam of light passes through
a dark room you think you see the
light, but light is invisible. You see
only the particles of dust which are al
ways floating IN the air, and if those
dust notes could be removed, as in a
vacuum, for instance, you would see no
beam.
To prove this take a red-hot poker
and pass 1t gently through a beam of
light on some n day, and a dense
black shadow will be seen for a mo-
ment where the poker has passed. THE
real consumes the dust particles, and
the light becomes invisible, having no
solid matter to reflect 1t.
