CLING TO ANCIENT CUSTOMS
In Rural England Forms Of Easter
Celebration INDUCED In for Gen.
turtles Are Still Kept Up.

The mention Of hot cross buns I'm
mediately suggests England, where
they are used more universally than
perhaps any other country. And while
England Is not a Catholic country,
so-called, rural customs Of all kinds,
religious and otherwise, have an un-
usually firm hold. One of the very
strangest yesterday customs Is called
the hareple festival, enacted In Leices'
tershire, at the village of Hallaton.
Every Easter morning a brass Dand
heads n procession which takes In most
everybody in the town.
They parade through the streets and
after a short service at the Episcopal
church the rector, aided by two or
three officials Of the village, cuts up n
large rabbit pie, which has been baked
for the occasion. These pieces of pie
are fought for by boys and young men,
down n hillside called Hare Bank, and
IL Is considered something to be proud
of to deserve the largest cut of the
pastry.
This Is followed by n feast in the
principal tavern or church, and ale in
abundance is consumed, an affair
which precedes a football match ia
nous wei the whole Of the county,
and looked forward to by thousands
Of spectators every year.

Japan's Experience Costly.

When the railways of Japan were
first planned, the narrow gauge of 3
feet @ inches was selected for them,
because it was cheapest to build and
equip, and was thought best suited to
the country's narrow highways and
steep grades. Now the 6,00O miles Of
Japanese railways, all Of narrow
gauge, are found to be sadly behind
the times, and q movement Is on foot
to rebuild them to standard gauge, al
though the cost Is estimated at nearly
$450,000,000. At present the trains are
slow, the fastest expresses making less
than 80 miles an hour; the coaches
are low and narrow, and the sleeping
cars are cramped and i~nconvenient /;
while most Of the railway inventions
Of other nations cannot be used be-
cause Of the difference in track gauge
and size Of. cars. The director of i'm
perial railways favOrs the change, In
spite Of the cost, and estimates that
the main Tokaido line could be con-
verted to broad gauge in y years and
other lines on the main island of Japan
within 25 years.-Popular Mechanics

life's Renewal.

Easter is not alone Of a religious
significance to the world at large, but
but 1t also embodies an equally sol
aclng meaning to mankind of renew
ed health and human happiness, as
pure and uplifting as Its lily blossoms
that creep through the lingering snow
drifts, allured by the sunlit rays Of the
springtide.
Easter seems to be, as 1t were, the
stepping-stone safely reached after
bounding the chasm of winter to a
brighter side. of life, where we may
gain a safer tenure Of Chrlstianlike
existence. 1t also symbollzes even a
renewed hope for earthly benef'
cences from the hands Of the Re.
deemer, after our long Imprisonment,
~perchance,, in some tomb of human
despair, surrounded by overwhelming
shadows through which the light CT
faith never heretofore penetrated.
Easter yields unto us all a mysti'
cal solace by Its influence Of flower
and bird, and sunllt beauty, and Its
echoes Of Hosanna creeping forth
from every altar and shrine in Chris
tendon.

IRISH EASTER LEGEND
That the Sun Dances on the Sea on
the Day Commemorative Of the
Resurrection Is Simple
Truth.

A N IRISH legend runs to the Ell
~ feet that on Easter day the sun
dances on the sea; and the
legend is true. The writer knows 1t
Is. He has seer this phenomenon
when as a child he climbed from the
little farmhouse which was his home,
n matter of q couple Of miles to the
top of a rugged mountain overlooking
the Irish sea. This phenomenon can
be seer my Easter day when the skies
are bright. All necessary Is to be
on some commanding height as the
sun pokes his mead out Of the sea to
the east.
The British isles give expression to
the thought that April showers bring
May flowers, and 1t Is not every Easter
day that the sun rises In a clear sky.
That Is the difference between the Brit
ish isles and California. Easter day
may come any one of the 20 days fol
lowing the 25th of March. No matter
how early 1t comes In southern Call
fornia the sun generally comes up In
n clear sky. Environment has caused
all evolution, and Is causing 1t still
These clear skies account for the way
Californians celebrate Easter day,
They have at Riverside on RubidouS
mountain a great cross, where annually
mt sunrise on Easter day thousands
are accustomed to gather to see the
sun rise on the mountain tops and
dance in the heavens. The hearts OF
the thousands who assemble on that
mountain top under the blazing cross
dance with the sun. The Hebrew
prophet said: ~ hear the sound OF
feet of the rain" Why not then see
the feet of the sun dance upon the
sea or mountain top? On Easter of las
year 1t Is said that 10000 people as
sembled on Rubidoux mountain, where
their hearts danced with JOY at the
thought of the resurrection.

Easter Hats for Little Girls.

Everyone Is entitled to a new hat
for Easter, even the littlest maid In
the family, and no one will wear her
new finery quite so joyously. She has
not been neglected by the milliners,
who must attend to the more serious
business Of seeing to 1t that her elders
are properly hated, and 1t Is not diff
cult to come to q decision In choosing
a hat for her. In shapes those that
resemble little bonnets have all the
preference. Many of them have round
crowns and narrow brims and as many
more are bell-shaped, but, for the very
little girl, there is no great variety In
shapes.
OF the two hats shown In the picture
the one at the top Is designed for a
child Of three or more years and the
lower hat for the little miss Of seven
at least. For the younger girl the
shape Is covered with silk In a light
color as n foundation for the ows Of
fine lingerie lace plaitings that cover
Il. At each side near the back two fiat
rosettes, made Of the plated lace, are
placed with the edge Of n overlap
ping the other. A collar of grosgrain
ribbon is run through the center Of the
rosettes and finished with bows at the
back and front.
This is one of the pretty little hats
that the home milllner can make with
out much risk of failure. The other is
a satin-covered shape, trimmed with
baby velvet ribbon In two colors. 1t is
