Easter and the Eco.

The Easter egg. or the Pasch egg.
had its origin in one of the curious
Christian adaptations Of pagan GUS
toms. From remote ages the egg has
been a symbol Of the mystery of crea-
tion. That is natural enough, because
the quickening egg gives to us the
most illumination on that tremendous
mystery, the awakening Of life. The
Persians held that the world was
Matched from an egg at. that season
of the year which corresponds to the
-vernal equinox. Among the Jews the
egg contributed to the, Paschal cere-
monies. Under the Christian dispeu-
.sation the egg became popular SYM

HAVE SPECIAL EASTER DISH
Cannon Of Bacon and a Tansy Pud-
ding Are Features Of the Season
in English Country. 49,

In Devonshire, England, the special
Easter dish is CANNON of bacon
and a tansy pudding, the latter being
so we'll established custom that 1t Is
celebrated in an old ballad:
At stool-ball Lucia, let us play
For sugar, cakes and wine;
Or for tansy let us pay.
The loss be thine or mine.
II thou, my dear. winner be
At trupdling Of the ball.
The wages thou shalt have, and me.
And my misfortunes all.
In Staffordshire the men lift the
women of the various villages on Eas-
ter Monday, and the women have to
take try at lifting the men on Eas-
ter Tuesday. In Cheshire there is a
lifting chair. In Chester Easter Mon
day is celebrated by ball playing be-
tween the clergy and laity. In Dur
ham the men take off the women's
shoes on Monday and have the unique
courtesy returned in kind on Tues
day. Nearly all these customs OF Eas.
ter have been too closely associated
with the place of their occurrence to
suffer transportation, although the
whip-lashing of the Polish children
bears a striking resemblance in its
turn-about-is-fair-play idea to the Eng
lish customs.
