who had to cover considerable dis

ponies-for sixty years ago we had not
begun to import thousands of cheap
ponies from Russia and elsewhere.
The dog was the poor mans pony
and his most valuable ally in his busi-
ness. cheaper and faster than the ass,
which to some extent replaced him.
Most Of the dogs were sturdy mon
grels, as big as a foxhound, but
stronger and more heavily built. You

Easter fires, established in honor Of
the sun, form a feature of Easter OBJ
in some parts Of Great Brit
ain, where bonfires are quite common
in early spring. Efigies Of Judas were
annually burned In Athens on Easter
Sunday until the government prohibit
ed 1t. Wooden figures called Judas
are quite frequently burned, however,
the fire itself receiving the traitors
name.
Frazer in "The Golden Bough"
states that about 100 years ago the
custom at Althenneberg, In upper Ba-
varia, was as follows: On the afternoon
Of Easter Saturday boys collected wood,
which they piled in a cornfield, while
in the middle of the pile they set up
a tall wooden cross all swathed in
straw. After the evening service they
lighted lanterns at the consecrated can

but both could watch it from a dis

The name Easter is OF Saxon origin
and refers to the goddess Eastre, to
whom sacrifices were offered at the be-
ginning of spring. The German name
for Easter refers to the same goddess,
whom some writers have traced back
TO Ishtar, the Babylonian queen of
heaven" in whose honor spring festi-
walls were inaugurated.
EARLY CUSTOMS

preceded by fasting and vigils, ending

Eggs were used at first as supplying
a symbol of concealed life and as an
emblem of the resurrection Of those
hidden In graves, as the meat of the
egg Is hidden in the shell. The custom
of picking eggs" is very old and so far
as 1t can be traced represents the sur
vtval of Christ and the Christian be-
game the victor being, of course, the
one whose egg broke the others and
was not itself harmed.
The custom of DOMINIC new apparel
on Easter Sunday was so common that
its nonobservance, as Is usual In such
matters, was considered not only a sign
Of eccentricity, but the precursor Of
bad luck.
RESURRECTION ON CANVAS
Artists long felt that the resurrection
was too %stupendous an undertaking for
human hands to portray. The first at
tempt Of this scene is a panel by Giotto,
which shows a clad figure of Christ
bearing the resurrection flag" with a
red cross upon a white ground, en-
blematic of victory over death. Giotto
shows Christ as though about to float
upward from the very edge of a coffin
like tomb, at which are two prone sol
diers. More than a hundred years later
Fra Angelica pictured the two Marys
at the tomb talking to an angel as the
Christ hung above them.
A great picture on which Raphael is
said to have worked is preserved in
the Vatican. An altar shaped tomb is
guarded by four soldiers. The tomb
has been partially uncovered, and the
figure of Christ is seen rising between
two angels. In this picture, too, Christ
bears the resurrection flag.
A modern painting by Hoffman,
which made a sensation at the time of
its production, shows the three Marys
standing within the doorway of a great
tomb, in the far interior of which ap-
pears the angel of resurrection In a
burst of light. One of the women car
ries the bowl in which they had brought
spices.

patient to know whether the splendid
John Knowlton had proved himself a
brave man. As she approached the
vault and saw no one walking before It
she knew that Leonard at least had not
won. Going nearer, she stopped and
listened. There was the sound of a
prodigious snore. Surely that came
from the powerful lungs OF Knowlton.
Then she looked in between the bars.
and there was Ernest stretched out
fast asleep.

Time and Love.

The rich proud cost of outworn buried
age:
When some time lofty towers I see down
RACED
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage:
When 1 nave seen the hungry ocean gain
Advantage on the kingdom OF the shore
And the firm soil win Of the watery main.
Increasing store with loss and loss with
store;
When I rave seen such interchange OF
state
Or state itself COMPOUNDED to decay,
Ruin hath taught me thus TO ruminate-
That Time will come and take my Love
away
This thought is as a death which cannot
choose
But weep to have that which 1t fears to
lose.

into Jerusalem and has been observed
in the eastern church since the fourth
century and in the western church
since the fifth century. Formal pro-

Of the sixth century, have been retain
ed on this day by the Roman Catho-
lie and Greek churches. Many Anglican
churches revived the old custom of
blessing and distributing palm and 9TH

came begging her to marry him she
told him that she would do so upon MS

told him to spend a night In the family
vault In the cemetery. John dld not

into the vault. The door, which was

ing their annual preparations
for the observance of Easter
Sunday, which this year falls
on April Z. The proper time for the
celebration of this festival of the resur-
rection of Christ was the cause of con-
troversy in the second century between
the eastern and western churches. The
former celebrated Easter on the four
teenth day of the first Jewish month
or moor, regarding it as equivalent to
the passover. The western churches
celebrated it on the Sunday after the
fourteenth day. maintaining that 1t
commemorated the resurrection of
Jesus. The council of Nicaea in 325
favored the western Usage. Its deci-
sion, however, settled only the question
that Easter was to be held not on a
certain day of the month or moon, but
upon a Sunday.
When the Gregorian calendar was in
troduced In 1852 1t was debated wheth-
er Easter should be movable or the
date of its celebration fixed for a given
Sunday after March 21. Ancient Gus
tom induced the ecclesiastical authori-
ties to adhere to the method of deter
mination by the noon. This moon was
an imaginary orb, with periods so con
trived that the new or calendar moon
always follows the real new moon.
sometimes by two or even three days.
One purpose in arranging the calen-
dar moo was that Easter might never
occur on the same day as the passover.
Nevertheless it so happened in 1906,
1925 and 1908, and such will be the
case in 1923 on April 1, In 1927 on
April IL and in 1881 on April 10. The
latest Easter in the present century
will be that on April 25, 1913.
The Jewish passover never begins
before March &c or later than April %.
new style, while other religions cele-
brate the feast between March % and
April rs.
THE PASSOVER
Easter, In fact, is derived from the
passover, the time when the ~Israelites
assemble in their homes with three
platters upon the table. M holding the
three u~nleavened cakes, or matzoth;
another the roasted shank bone of a
lamb and an egg and the third a green
herb, a cup of vinegar or salt water
and a mixture of finely chopped aim
onds and apples sprinkled with CHINA
mon. There is a glass or cup at each
place, and a seat Is reserved for any
servants a household may possess. The
ceremonial is known as the seder, or
order" The head of the house dis
penses special blessings for the feast
of the unleavened bread and after
drinking the first cup of wine dips the
herb into the salt water. passing it
around the table, each person taking a
piece of it. At the same time the mas
ter of ceremonies blesses the creator
of the fruit of the earth"
Then follows the breaking of the I'M
leavened cake, and, taking the lamb
bone. the master invites all the needy
to eat of the memorial of the bread Of
affection" which the Israelites ate in
Egypt.
