THE CREDIT SYSTEM RUINOUs.
1t Is Doing the Southern Farmer a
Great Deal of Harm.
Farmers Union Sum-

| (Farmers' Union Sum-
If there is any one thing that is
doing the Southern farmer more
harm than another, it Is doubtless
the credit system. On May 1 of this
year the cash price Of a bushel Of
| corn was 94 cents, and the credit
| price was $1.13, a difference of 10
cents in favor of paying cash. Now,
some will say, what Is the farmer
going to do if he hasn't the money
but get these supplies on time? In
the first place, the proper thing is to
grow these supplies. But in case
this Is not done, it is far better to
borrow money ana pay six, eight or
ten per cent rather than buy on a
credit on such basis as this.
There is no sense in a man being
forced to pay 10 cents more q bushel
for corn by reason OF obtaining it on
credit, to be paid for six or eight
months later, writes the editor of
Southern Farming. Now we have no
desire to unjustly critcise any man
or any set Of men, but any one who
will be perfectly sincere and frank
with himself will admit that this is
unfair to the farmer.
The merchant will doubtless say
that, on account Of poor collections
and the great risk he takes, he IS
Obliged to charge this much more.
Yes, to a certain extent this is true,
but the principal trouble comes in by
TOO many irresponsible, shiftless ne
groes receiving credit along with the
better white farmer. 1t is unfair for
the good farmer, whether white or
black, to have to carry part Of the
burden Of the irresponsible, shiftless
class, whether white or black. A
change in this respect should be
Forthcoming, and will be sooner or
later. but 1t will have to be brought
about by the farmer himself.

WHY THE RABBIT AT EASTER
Pretty Legend of Olden Times Con-
meets Bunny and the Eggs 1t Is
Supposed to Lay.

So many have asked, why is the
err" Each year at this season the
cunning little bunny appears in the
shop windows beside downy chicks
and gayly-colored eggs. The legend OF
the Easter rabbit is one of the most
ancient in NEUROLOGICAL lore and is
closely related to the folk tales OF
southern Germany.
In the beginning of things, it seems,
the rabbit was a bird. AS a great IA
for the goddess Ostara, who was the
patron of spring, gave it four legs, for
which the rabbit was deeply grateful.
In remembrance of its former life as q
bird, when the spring or Easter season
comes it lays eggs of gorgeous colors.
and the egg has always been a symbol
of the resurrection, and therefore used
at Easter time when we look for the
life everlasting and all things made
new.
1t is a German custom for children
to go to their godmothers at Easter for
the gift of colored eggs and a baked
rabbit. Just before Easter the chill
dren are sent to the garden to build a
nest for the expected rabbit, and early
Easter morning they go with great ex-
pectations, and are never disappoint-
ed, to get the eggs which the rabbit
has laid for them. Even in Africa,
among the heather tribes, worship OF
the egg is common. No altar is COM
plete without it's egg decoration, and
most huts have at least one sacred
egg. On all the eggs devoted to the
rites of worship a verse from the
Koran is written at each end, while
the sides are ornamented by scenes
from the Nile.
A rare specimen of these eggs Is to
be seen in the Detroit Museum of Art.
The etchings on the shell follow close
ly the same general design as the
paintings Of men and women ehAA
we're recently found in Cairo.

Easter Great Russian Eeast.

Easter is pre-eminently the great
feast of Russia. In the old country at
midnight on Easter eve the bells of the
great tower of the Kremlin in Moscow
peal out the tidings of the resurrec-
ton, to be followed by the clamorous
chords Of every church bell in the en-
pire. The cities of the country blaze
into light. Around every church, large
and small, are piles Of Easter cakes.
PROFESSIONS of priests go through the
streets In the towns. People bearing
tapers follow them back to the Inn

greeting. is everywhere exchanged.

HAVE SPECIAL EASTER DISH
Cannon of Bacon and Tansy Pud-
ding Are Features of the Season
In English Country.

In Devonshire, England, the special
Easter dish is a CANNON of bacon
and tansy pudding, the latter being
so well established a custom that 1t 10
celebrated in an old ballad:
At stool-ball, Lucia, let us play
For sugar, cakes and wine;
Or for a tansy let us pay
The loss be thine or mine.
If thou, my dear, winner be
At trundling 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-pla idea to the Eng
hsh customs.
