University College, Oxford. At the door Of
the hall stood q long block bedecked with
flowers and evergreens. Easter day, after
the dinner, the college cook and his at
PENDANT placed themselves on either side
Of the block. They were dressed in white
jacket and cap. and held pewter dishes
and a blunt chopping AK. AS each college
member passed out he struck the block
with the ak. Then he put fee for the
cook in the pewter dish. Tradition at
firms that II any person could chop the

1t was an ancient custom for couples to
roll down hill, and later eggs instead OF
persons became the article chosen for
this purpose. It was from these that we
derive our custom Of rolling eggs.

it was tossed into the air three times and

the women might do the same with the
men. OF course, the Women's efforts
caused the greatest fun.

church to hear divine service. On leav-
ing the church he repaired, with the same
pomp and retinue to house previously

appearance Of the prince, who resided at
Restormel Castle, in former ages. On the
removal of royalty this mimic grandeur
stepped forth as its shadowy representa-
tive, and continued for many generations
as a memorial to posterity of the princely
magniflcence with which Lostwithiel had
formerly been honored."
Yet Lostwithiel was not the only place
where there was a symbolical Easter
king. They were frequent In Europe. As
an instance Of this is the well known
story concerning Emperor Charles v and
the peasant. 1t is related that while the
emperor was riding through one Of his

carrying spit for q truncheon, met his
ruler. and not knowing him, commanded
him to doff his hat. The emperor obey ed

Europe. In northern England boys used
to beg eggs to play with. and beggers
seek them to eat.
But the most amusing egg game OF all
was the one played by the priest and
choristers In the medieval church. To
the accompaniment of a stately anthem.
and with faces matching In seriousness its
words, the players tossed the egg back

Years ago as Easter approached in
France, the entire nation was sought for
the largest eggs. which were to be given
as a tribute to the king. Accordingly,
when the Easter high mass in the chapel
OF the Louvre was finished. baskets con-
tanning pyramids of gilded eggs resting
on verdure were brought into the royal
cabinet. The chaplain blessed them and
apportioned them to the court.
In certain districts of France the priest
goes to the homes of his parishioners at
Easter to extend them his blessings. in
return he is given eggs both colored and
uncolored.

with the holiday is obvious when we re-

upon the moon and in olden days the
hare symbolized the moon.

Of eggs that the housewife brings in from
the market Easter eve, for their little
they have not been good enough to be
noticed by the just hare. Nor would they
believe 1t II they were told that after they
are cuddled in bed the housewife busies
herself in boiling and coloring the eggs.
and then usurps the right Of the hare to
hide them away.
Easter morning. when the little ones
awake, what a noise there f. and how
hare come? Did anybody see him? Real
1y. did they see him?" are some OF the
questions asked.
OF course. there IL one parent who is
sure she heard a noise, but the father may
demur, he may fear they have not been
good enough. Nevertheless. he goes over
the house with them In search of the COW
eted treasures, and, all at once, while
the little hearts are aching with disap-
pointment, he finds q beautiful egg, and
then they find another, and another and
another, ana SO there il great happiness
and rejoicing in the household through
out the day. and the children love more
than ever the dear white hare. which
has once again proved to them that he
believes them good.
The customs relating to the egg have a
mixture Of fun and seriousness. Former
ly. when Easter week was filled with
sports the CHILDREN exchanged eggs for
gifts and then rolled them down hill until
they broke. The one having his egg re-
main whole the longest was the victor
and he could claim all the other eggs.
There was a sport similar to this at
Mesopotamia, which consisted in striking
each others eggs, the one breaking first
becoming the property OF the person first
striking it. Then another egg was pitted
against the winning one, and so they con-
tinued until the last unbroken egg would
win all the rest. This egg game still OBJ
tains in sections Of rural England and
