Nature herself takes up the curse, and q
sudden shower breaks, In which every drop OF
rain calls the wretched man Coward The
ocean, the sea and the rivers take part in the
great demonstration, and the word coward
wrung from the heart of nature herself ceases
not to ring in Pilates ear until death frees
him from the curse"
From the legend springs a curious custom
practiced in Hungary on Easter Monday. At
dawn the men of the village wait for the maid
ems of their choice to appear; as each sees the
maiden of his heart he runs after her, and
drags her, shrieking and protesting, to the
nearest fountain or we'll where he proceeds to
drench her literally with water. Thoroughly
drenehed, the maiden is supposed to pay for
the courtesy with kiss. Often she breaks
away from her tormentor, and there is hot
and merry chase until she is captured. OF
course, she is soon caught and is usually
willing victim, for this is one Of the Magyar
betrothal customs, and an early marriage fol-
lows the rite.

How Sea Birds Drink.


Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: When
was a cabin boy l often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands OF
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day squall answered that ques-
ton for me. 1t was hot and glitter
ing day In the tropics, and In the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud ap-
peared all of a sudden. Then out OF
empty space over hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away.
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out a.
storm a long way off; they travel Al
hundred miles maybe to get under IT,,
and they swallow enough raindrops so
keep them going. New York Trih

not at all strange that the Franciscans at
Mount st. Sepulchre are enabled to present
particularly impressive services at Easter
Moreover number Of the members of the
community have resided for years at time
in the Holy Land and familiar from long
participation with every deal of the Easter
services as conducted at the tomb of our Lord
in Jerusalem. This Is the case with the pres
ent superior Of the community, Rev. Father
Bede Oldgeering. who is the celebrant of the
solemn high mass which is the principal fea-
ture Of the Easter program.
1t is doubtful If any church in America is
embellished with more lavish floral decora-
ton than that in the Chapel Of the Holy Land
on Easter morning and equally notable is the
special music by the choir of male voices
made up of members of the community with
one of the brothers acting as organist. The
chapel at Mount st. Sepulchre. and which Is
all too small to accommodate the throngs that
come hither on Easter is in the shape of a
five-fold cross the large cross forming the
main body of the church and the smaH
crosses being represented by chapels. This
cross, symbolic of the five wounds Of oyr
Lord. appears again and again at Mount ST
Sepulchre and representation of in .Vene-
tan mosaic forms the pavement of the
church. The central aisle of the large cross
has, at the entrance of the church. portico
which supports a gallery, while at the other
end is the sanctuary The whole interior
with its rows upon rows of columns and
arches and its significant white and yellow
decoration is stately and majestic in the high
est degree and affords BE best possible back
ground for the Easter decorations.
The whole arrangement Of the interior con
duces to focus attention UPON the sanctuary
which is the main point Of attraction in the
church and especially Easter when it
becomes the locale of much that transpires.
The architect who direc<ed the erection Of
the duplicate of the Holy Sepulchre spent
much time in Jerusalem studying the original

During the first centuries of the Christian
church. Easter was celebrated on the same
day of the Jewish Passover, because Christ
rose from the dead on that day. IL the early
days of the church Easter was the faVorite

came actors, and the churches, theaters for

the mystery plays is based upon the cDWard1ce
