EASTER GAMES

~ HE people of Holland are not
much given to change, and If
you should chance to visit some
of the eastern provinces about Easter
time you would find the children of
the peasantry following some Of the
old customs that have been in practice
for hundreds of years.
One is called the Palm Paschen,"
which really means Palm Sunday, and
for a whole week before Easter the
boys and girls go from house to house
begging for eggs.
They sing as they walk and carry the
palm paschen, a long stick with a
green wreath on the end, in their
hands. These are the words Of their
song:
Palm. Palm Sunday!
Hei koeereil
Soon it will be Easter,
And We shall have an egg
One egg, two eggs
The third egg is the Easter egg.
They knock at every farmhouse and
are very seldom sent away empty
handed.
When they have collected as many
eggs as they wish they boil them hard,
stain them brown with coffee or red
with beet root juice, and when Easter
day comes they carry these eggs to the
meadows and play what they call the
"Eiertikken."
This game consists of sitting on the
grass in a circle, each child knocking
his egg against that Of the child next
! to him or her. 1t is usually done so
that only one egg is broken, and the
owner of the whole egg is winner Of
| the broken one.
The game ends when there are no
more eggs to break.
Another Easter game played In the
Netherlands on Easter Monday is call
ed the "Eiergaader." For this the inn
keeper provides the eggs. He, with all
where the eggs-perhaps twenty-five in
number-are placed at equal distances
along the road. The distance between
each is about twelve feet.
In the middle of the road is a tub of
water. in which floats the largest apple
to be found. Two men are chosen.
One with his arms tied behind his back
must eat the floating apple to the last
bit before the other picks up, while
running, all the eggs and arranges
them in a basket.
The one who finishes his task first
is the winner and has the eggs for q
prize.
You can imagine the fun they have
with the man who tries to eat the ap-
pie.
The egg dance is a pretty custom
which may still be seen in some parts
Of rural Switzerland.
number Of eggs. perhaps a hun
ered. are scattered over level space
and covered with sand. Then a cou
pie, taking hands, dance over them
and If they can finish the measure
without breaking an egg they are be
trothed, and not even the most obdu
rate parent can separate them.

French Navy Suffers Another
of Long Series Of Marine
Tragedies.

CHERBOURG, FRANCE, June s.
One of the worst disasters in the long
series of accidents that has marked
the use of the submarines in the French
navy occurred near here today when
the submarine Vendimaire was struck
by the battleship st. Louis and sank
in $50 feet of water There were three
officers and "a enlisted men aboard the
tiny craft when she was sent to the
bottom and there is no hope that any
of them are alive
At the time the disaster occurred a
squad of batteships was engaged in
maneuvers with the submarine fleet.
According to the commander of the st.
Louis, large cash was cut in the
shell of the submarine and she sank
Immediately after she was struck. AS
soon as he reported the nature of the
accident a dispatch was sent to the
ministry of marine at Paris stating that
there was no possibility of saving any
of those on board the vessel. Within
an hour after the accident had been
flashed here by wireless, powerful ma
chinery and dredges were hurried from
the harbor and divers were sent out
on the fastest torpedo boat in the
harbor. The divers, however, were
able to descend only a short distance
and reported to Admiral Fourier that
the only way Of bringing up the vessel
would be to drag for her with Crap

Tho rapidly With which the vessel
sank indicated that her plates were
smashed ard the submarine experts
hero declared that even ii the crew
succeeded in closing her water tight
compartment they would be unable to
survive for any length of time.
The Vendimaire's equipment was
held insufficient to safeguard the
crews lives for more than a few hours
During the last few years more than
a half dozen French submarines have
either foundered through structural
defects or been sunk in collisions Two
wears ago the French submarine Plu-
lvius collided with channel steamer
off Calais and went to the bottom
Twenty six lives were lost in that ac-
cident. The Pluvius was of the same
type as the Vendimaire.
When the accident occurred expert
ments were being made in approaching
batteships with submarines.
The st. Louis, warned that the Ven
dimaire would try to sink" her, had
orders to keep a sharp lookout and
dodge her if possible. So that under
