can hardly be classed as legend, since
the iron egg may be seen today in the
museum Of Berlin. There are several
important customs OF the past and pres
ent that attach to the Easter hare and
the egg. England still retains more OF
these than perhaps any other country.
In olden days with the coming Of Eas-
ter Monday. q legend holiday In England
and Europe, the mayor and tho city Of
ficials Of LEICESTER dressed in scarlet
robes and went to Blacl-Annis Bower
Close for the ostensible purpose Of hunt
ing the hare. But at this season Of the
year there was no possibility Of finding
q hare, so they invariably compromised
by trailing a dead cat soaked In annis-
seed water before pack Of hounds,
while the spectators loudly acclaimed
their wonderful feat. Many years ago
this form Of amusement died out, but
there has been similar fun until recently
at an annual fair held in the neighbor-
hood.

bearing on it's brown, sugary surface the
mark OF q cross
These "one a penny, two a penny hot
cross buns have a more ancient origin
than is generally supposed. The name
itself is taken from the Green name OF a
certain cake which the ancients gave for
an onerfng to the gods. In the biblical
period the prophet Jeremiah had occa-
the idolatry of the Jewish women at
Pathros, Egypt.
One of the most ancient and universal
OF all superstitions attaching to Easter
Gay was that of the dancing sun. At
first 1t was believed to dance over the
general Joy at the renewal of natures
life in this season Of the year Later II
danced over the resurrection of Christ.
Many centuries ago Easter day people
arose early and repaired to the fields to
view this dancing sun.
Then one Of the greatest concerns OF
the day came to be whether the sun
really did dance or not. Grave and learn
ed men over all the world set themselves
to the task Of solving the weighty prob
lem. Sir Thomas Brown, author OF
vulgar Errors" left some quaint ideas
on the subject.
I'VE shall not. hope, disparage the res
direction Of our Redeemer," he writes.
IL We say that the sun doth not dance
on Easter day. and though We would will
1ngly assent unto any syJnspathetical exulta-
ton, yet We cannot conceive therein any
more than a tropical expression. Whether
any such notion there was in that day
wherein Christ arose Scripture hath not
revealed. which hath been punctual in
other records concerning solary miracles.
and the Areopagite that was amazed at
the eclipse took no notice of this, and, If
metaphorical expressions go so far, we
may be bold to affirm. not only that the
sun danced, but two suns arose that day:
that light appeared at His nativity and
darkness at His death. and yet a light
at both, for even that darkness was a
light unto the Gentiles. illuminated by
that obscurity. That twas the first time
the sun set above the horizon. That al

theme on which he played his poetic

IL was dangerous for eccleciastics to walk
abroad between Easter and Pentecost,
for they were apt to be seized and made
to purchase their freedom by the pay
ment of money. The people seemed to
think they had good reason for doing
this. They declared that 1t was right
because the Jews had seized the apostles
after the passion Of Christ.
A little later In history there were sew
eral very unique customs at some period
OF the Easter week. Easter Tuesday 1t
was considered legitimate for wives to
beat their husbands, and the next day
men were at liberty to use the same

ALASKA INDIANS AND REIN-
 DEER.

If the Indians of Alaska be rap idly fading away, il Is evident that the reindeer, imported from Si- bcria for the express purpose of aiding the native tribes, are stead lily increasing.
 While Bishop Peter T. Rowe, who has been in Alaska for six teen years, tcstilies that drunk ennesS, debauchery and disease are doing deadly work among the Alaskans, the report of the Bu- rcau of Education shows cncour- aging conditions among the nor thcrn tribes.
 The reason for the conclusions reached by Bishop Rowe is that the sources of the food supDly or the natives along the coast have been appropriated by the cannerics and other industries.
 The story of the reindeer be- gins with 1892, when a herd of 171 of those animals was brought from Siberia. The importations continued for ten years, and in 1902 had reached total of t,28O. In June, 1911, there were 33,- 629 reindeer, distributed among fOrty-siX herds, and of that num- Der 20,07l or 60 per cent, were owned by 460 natives.
 Distribution of reindeer is part of Uncle Sam's educational system for that part of Alaska along Boring sea and the Arctic ocean.
 At each station, natives are chosen as apprentices" for O term of four years, and at the end of the interval each appren- tice receives an apportionment of reindeer, as absolute owner, con- hitiOned on the rules of the ser vice.
 The Bureau of Education, af- ter experiments continuing for twenty years, announces that the reindeer industry has become the most efficient instrument in clc- Vating the native races of north rrn and western Alaska" and that Its civilizing effect on the Eski- mo especially has been remark able"
 N ls rcenettable, in view of the disclosures made by Bishop Rowe, that the government is not able tO cope with the problem of the native tribes in other parts of Alaska so effectively as along the coasts of Bering sea and the Arc lie ocean.-Seattle Times.

BLOW FOR WHITEsLAvERs.

After several months pf in- Vestigation officials of a number Of important cities in the United States have ascertained that "whitc slavery" is being carried on to an alarming degree and steps are now being taken to stamp out this traffic. The most stunning blow which agents of the league have received of late was the sentencing recently of a New York bartender to a term of thirty-thrcc years at hard labor in Sing Sing prison.
 few sentences of this kind will do moro towards stamping out white slavery than all the ser mons and lectures on the subject which can be delivered. This practice is rcvolting in the cX- tremc and for months the auth critics were 10th to believe that irafficking in human beings was being carried on, but now that definite proof has been brought forward the elimination of crime against the morals of na- lion will undoubtedly be brought about.

CURING THE LAWS DELAYS.

The Justices of the Supreme Court of tn" United States are planning to rcvOlutiOniZe the handling of equity cases before the federal courts of the country. A cOmmittr" of three, Chief Jus ticc White and Justices LurlOn and Nandcvcnler. iS at work on a set of rules to govern practice before the Supreme Court and lesser federal tribunals. The rules in force at present have been unchanged during genera lions. It is admitted even by the justices themselves that the pro- ccdurc tends to promote needless delay and expense. IL is expect cd that set of rules will be ready and may be promulgated at the next term which will simplify the handling of litigation and will re- suit in saving time and money for litigants.
 The Supreme Court of the coun- try is the proper body to take the lead in a reform such as is proposed. The bar associations of the country and the laymer have been urging changes that would do away with the unncccs- sary rcd tape involved in the present rules of practice. There is a disposition on the part of tho state supreme courts and inferior tribunals to place a high valua- ton on precedent and to be chary about getting away from doing things the way our forefathert did them. IL will be much easier to effect reform from the tor downward in this case than il
