TASTER IN
IL MANY LANDS
It's Origin, Customs,
SuperSfitiOnS and
traditions

which comes upon, or next after, the
21st of March, and if the full moon hap
pens on Sunday, Easter day is the Sun
day after. Easter may be as early as
tiarch - and as late as April p.
The ceremonies attending the first cele-
brations of Easter were simple and there
was very little of any kind of elaborate
display or observance. 1t was Constan-
! tine who first originated the religious
pomp He caused night watches to be
instituted in the churches and these re-
NAMED until early hours of the morning
He also had huge candles of wax mold
) ed which were lighted on the affairs in
stead of the wax tapers. The great can
die still lit in the sanctuaries of the Ro-
man church during the festival had its
origin i'm these candles of Constantine
He also introduced the custom of bank
ing the affairs with flowers.
The observance of Easter tide material
" changed in the course of the centuries
and in different countries. In England
from an early time many curious Gus
toms centered around the feast. on good
Friday the baking of buns was universal
In all households. On most occasions these
were made with unleavened flour or
dough and we're generally very unpal-
atable, but every member was compelled
10 eat one. for the superstition con-
corning the non-observance of the eat
ing had it, that misfortune would over
take the house in the form of fire before
another Good Friday. The buns were gem
orally eaten hot and in commemoration
of Christs death on the cross, on this
day. they were branded by hot iron in
the form of a cross. Hence the origin
OF hot-cross buns
Loaves were also baked on Good Fri
day. 1t was considered that these had
miraculous properties to cure various all
ments If any one was sick a portion
of the crust of the loaf was grated into
water and the drink given to the pa
tient 1t was believed to be an unfailing
specific in the case of consumptives or
those suffering from pulmonary COM
plants.
Another curative superstition lay in
what was known as cramp rings, which
could be made out of any material. The
condition to render them efficacious was
that they had to be blessed by the king.
They were placed in a silver basin on the
chapel floor beneath a large crucifiX. A
carpet was spread on the floor. The
king had to kneel on this carpet, kiss
the crucifix and bless the rings. They
then became sacred symbols and were
supposed to cure cramps by their touch.
This is somewhat a variation of the pop
ular fallacy that a touch on the cheek
from the ring on a royal finger will
cure the skin eruption known as scrofula,
which on this account is sometimes call

Another English superstition in early
days caused the eXtinguishing of al!
fires on Easter eve. They had to be
thoroughly put out and fresh ones kindled
by the ignition of flint and steel. 1t was
believed that a brand preserved from the
newly-lighted fires. would at any time
of the following year ward off storms
and tempests and be an offset against
lightnings and thunderbolts.
1t was a universal custom to rise on
Easter morning to see the bun dancing.
The god of day was said to be welcom-
ing the risen Saviour. This belief very
easily gained credence. AS the human
eye is not strong enough to gaze into the
sunbeams, even when the meteor is only
emerging above the horizon, smoked glass
was employed and of course the re-
fraction of the rays upon the glass gave
the orb the appearance of bobbing up and
down. The same phenomenon under like
conditions can be observed on any other
morning of the year.
In Scotland they believed that the sun
not only danced on Easter morn but that
he somersaulted for hours through the
heavens and INDUCED in all kinds of ce-
lestial antics.
The state of the weather on Easter
day it was believed, had a significant part
i'll determining meteorological conditions
for the rest of the year. An old couplet
runs thus:
A good deal of rain on Easter day
Gives a good crop of grass, but little good
hay.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
WON'T DISCUSS RAISE

NEW YORK, March 24.-Oficials of the
New York Central railroad today were
not prepared to indicate what their an
swer would be to the statements of con-
ductors and trainmen that the wage in
crease granted by the Baltimore and Ohio
was the minimum raise the Central en-
ployes would accept.
Circumstances, however, gave rise
to presumption that the reply would not
be unfavorable. The men have given
the railroad officials to understand that
If the response is adverse a vote on the
question of striking will be ordered.
It is generally understood today that
the conductors and trainmen on the east
ern roads have decided to make the wage
rate OF the Baltimore and OhiO-the out
growth Of the recent negotiations and the
compromise arrived at under the Erdman
act-the standard rate for all the roads
in the eastern section and the lowest to
be accepted The policy. as indicated
today by President Lee, of the trainmen.
was to conform the eastern situation TO
that in the west, where a minimum stand
ard has prevailed for some time.

Easter is derived from Teutonic god
dess, Eastre, he MITIGATION of the
morning and of spring. She was repre-
scented as fair and comedy, with garlands
of flowers around her head and the wand
of hope in her right hand To her was
dedicated April, (Aprilis, Latin for open
ing) the opening month of the year. 1t
was named Ostermonat. To this day in
some parts of Germany April is still So
called.
For a long time the worship of the
goddess was confined exclusively to Ger
many, but was finally carried to Eng
land by the Saxons. where it took such
deep root that the early missionaries Of
the Christian church found it very hard
to eradicate it. In time, however, they
succeeded in giving it a religious signtfi-
canoe.
As it occurred in the season when ma
ture was rousing from her slumbers,
when the sun was climbing higher and
lengthening the days, wnen tree, shrub
and flower were putting forth their buds,
when birds were bursting forth into song
and all natural things were attuning
themselves in a universal resurrection,
the early church fathers seized on the
transformation to turn it into celebra-
ton of the triumph of Christ over death
and the grave. Hence the adaptation of
the name Easter to the great Christian
festival of the resurrection.
Every first day of the week was from
the beginning of the Christian era what
may be called resurrection festival,
the actual anniversary of the resurrec-
ton must have been peculiarly sacred,
though the year A. d. IS, or thereabout
has been named as the time of the
formal institution of Easter
The origin of the festival as distinct
from the name, is based on the feast
of the Jewish Passover, which was and
is kept by the Jews on the 14th day of
Nissan. that is, the Hebrew month corre-
spending to both the months of March
and April of the Roman calendar.
For a long time the eastern church
celebrated this date. the 14th of Nisan
but the western church, remembering
that Christ rose on Sunday, appropriated
the Sunday which followed the day of
the Jewish observance.
A discussion between the two branches
was kept up in reference to the day
and date until the time of Constantine.
In 325 A. d. this great Christian mon
arch brought the subject before the
council of Nice and the result of their
elaboration was that from this time
Easter Sunday has been everywhere COM
memorated on one and the same day, to-
wit: the first Sunday after the full moon,
