A QUEER EASTER CUSTOM.

In Warwickshire, England, Shake
speare's home county. there was OBJ
served from ancient times a queer Eas-
ter custom known as clipping the
churches" 1t is described by an old
time writer as follows:
when was child, as sure as
Easter Monday came, was taken to
see the children clip the churches
This ceremony was performed amid
crowds of people and shouts Of Joy by
the children Of the different charity
schools, who at a certain hour flocked
together for the purpose. The first
corners placed themselves hand in hand
with their backs against the church
and were Joined by their companions,
who gradually increased In number till
at last the chain was of sufficient
length completely to surround the sa-
cred edifice. As soon as the hand of
the last of the train had grasped that
OF the first the party broke up and
walked in procession to the other
church flor in those days Birmingham
boasted Of but two), where the ceremo-
ny was repeated"
Easter formerly witnessed many
quaint customs in England, but most
of them have died out in recent years.

FIREWORKS AT EASTER.

Religious Festival at Florence Reminds
| American of Fourth of July.
Many strange Easter customs are
found in Latin countries. In Florence
1t is the custom to extinguish the lights
in all the churches on Good Friday as
symbol of the death of Jesus, the
extinction Of life. That this custom
goes back to some Roman festival con-
nected with the vestal virgins who
kept careful guard over the sacred
flames at the affairs Of their divinity Is
now believed by some historical au-
thorities.
The lights having been extinguished,
all is darkness and gloom until Easter
Sunday. On that day the task of re-
kindling the flames is intrusted to one
ancient family, the Pazzi members of
which carry fiints brought from the
holy land with which they strike the
new spark. Lanterns are lighted and
in this way the lamps are relighted in
all the churches of Florence.
This, however, is not spectacular
enough for the multitude. Therefore
an enormous car Is loaded with harm
less explosives and hauled through the
principal streets Of the city. 1t is
drawn by two milk white oxen es-
pecially bred for this purpose and re-
served for 1t from year to year.
Finally the great car, looking like
an enormous pagoda, is stopped in the
square in front of the Cathedral of
Florence. The car has been followed,
Of course, by an enormous crowd,
which stands around it in the great
square waiting impatiently for the
"Scoppio del Caro-" Explosion Of the
Carr.
Arrived on the square, wire is led
from the car up to the chief altar of
the cathedral, and when the lamp is
lighted on the altar "dove," travel
ing pyrotechnical device shaped like
the bird Of peace, is released, its fuse
afame. Swiftly it speeds down the
wire, and as 1t strikes the car the dove
explodes, setting all the fireworks In
the car aflre. Then comes the grand
explosion amid the huzzas of the multi
tude, and Easter Sunday is ushered
in to all Florence. There is little doubt
that in this ceremony is reminder Of
the ancient celebrations Of the return
Of the sun to power, the real spring
festival Of the Romans.
Easter Day and Life.
1t is characteristic of human life that
its greatest day should be its saddest,

of human life.--Phillips |

Cincinnati. Oct 2s.-The campaign
20 induce Ohio TO reverse the heavy
verdict against prohibition which she
gave twelve months ago is drawing 10
a close, with every indication that the
vote will not only sustain that verdict.
but will carry snarp rebuke to those
who forced the issue again so soon.
Last years "wet" majority was s4,15i
out Of total vote OF about 100000;
this year, with a lighter vote the
chances are that the majority will run
well over the 100000 mark.
The campaign is closing in a whirl
OF activity even greater than that OF
last year. probably greatee than has
Der before a.tenned the submission
Of the prohibition question. The state
is flooded with speakers. William
Jennings Bryan. the star, spoke here
tonight to an audience that jammed
the city's biggest auditorium, and ex-
Governor Hanley of Indiana. Represen-
tative Richmond Pearson Hobson and
score of lesser lights are securing
the state for the "drys" The "wets"
perfectly efficient workers out, ANA
tour reformers and personal liberty
men contend for hearing on the
street corners, and even in the street
cars of every town. One can hardly
walk block in some cities without
having ones pockets filled with lit
erature.
With all this acaivity the voters are
at least on the surface, almost indlf-
ferent. Most of them seem to consider
that the question was settled last year,
and whin most of them will go out and
vote they steadfastly refuse TO get ex-
cited. Such sentiment as can be de-
tected apart from the dry" enthusiasts
seems directed not against either the
"wet" or "dry" propaganda, but very
concretely against the dry leaders,
because they were not content with
their last beating The voter seems to
resent having to keep on saying mo"
No Conversions on Record.
II there has been any change toward
"dry" sentiment since last year il
shows no traces. Certain changes in
voting are likely for purely political
reasons, but there is no public record
of any conversion from the wet" ranks
and there have been some accessions TO
them.
The campaign in Ohio means far
more to the prohibition workers than
the mere carrying OF a state, even
though the state be as rich and impor-
tant as is this one. These leaders had
picked Ohio as the wedge which should
give their cause its first success in the
block Of great, rich and populous states
which lie east of the Mississippi and
north of Mason and Dixon's line. De-
feat here will be a check affecting this
whole campaign.
Their choice was beyond a doubt
wise one. Ohio is in every respect the
most likely of this block of states to
accept the prohibition principle. 1t is
