The communication emanated from nearly all the sections of the Con- federate states and bear various dates, although the greater number of them were written in February, 1861 In some cases the name of the designer is given While in others no name whatever or A hcttious name is given, while in others no name whatever or fictitious name appears.

EASTER FALLS
TWO DAYS LATE
It Will Be Twenty.Seven Years 30.
fore It Again comes So Late
Peculiar Features Of Year
EASTER SELDOM COMES SO LATE
This Is the First Year in Forty Years
That Began on Saturday and
Will End on Sunday.

Easter Sunday this year will come
on just about as late date as it pos
sibly could. approaching within two
days of the extreme limit allowed for
that church holiday to fall upon. This.
year Easter Sunday falls upon April
23d, the latest Easter has been since
1905, when it was on the same date.
Not until 1913 will Easter again come
as late in the year and then It Will
fall upon April 25th-the. latest pos
sible date. .s5
Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday
EHsra esta hliahed by the C0unc3l of
Nice, A. D. 325, the former to occur
forty.six days in advance of Easter
Sunday and the latter to be fixed by
solar and lunar calculations. Accord
ing to the Nicene laws, Easter day
shall occur annually on the first Sun
day after the first full moon on or
after the vernal equinox, which gener.
ally falls on March 2lst.
/ AS this indicates the earliest pos
sible date on which Easter may fall Is
March ed. Ash Wednesday this year
will occur on March Sth.
Few persons now alive Will probably
live to see Easter occur again SO late
except in 1943. as after that year
Easter will not be observed as late un-
til the year 1000, when it will fall on
April %.
Another event. noteworthy because
of its uniqueness this year, is the fact
that the year began on Saturday and
will end on Sunday. This gives the
year fifty-three Saturdays and hfty-
three Sundays.
Were it not for the fact that the
compilers of the Gegorian calendar
provided that centuries not divisble
evenly by four shall not be leapyears,
this would occur regularly every
twenty-eight years. Hence when such
a century occurs as did 1900 there is
a lapse of forty years between leap
years that begin on Saturday and END
on Sunday.
