legends. The very people, quantity
dressed ms they were n thousand years
ago, suggest legends and traditions.
When the faith of the NaZarene was
first preached to their ancestors they
held the mammoth stones which
abound In the fields and countryside In
deep generation.
The church united stories Of w0n
derful stones with the word OF Christ.
so that Its teaching might sooner de-
velop converts. Fete days were held
In high esteem, and many queer beliefs
and associations became %entangled with
the festivals.
On Easter morning at the Church OF
st. Crowley, In the village Of Finistere,
Brittany, every man, woman and child
of the vicinity Is In attendance. The
women and children are in their best
frocks and snowlest caps, and the men
are leading the cattle to the door OF
this church, which would do credit to
a city of size.
There the priest receives the men
and animals, and while the women clus-
ter around, %gravely listening, the cattle
are blessed and the care Of st. Crowley
invoked In their behalf. This saint Is
a great favorlte all over Brittany and,
like so many traditions Of the Bretons,
his story Is connected with the giant
stones. 1t appears that he was n bish-
op of Rome come up to the province
TO convert the heather.
He was hunted by wild men until
death seemed near, when suddenly ev-
cry pursuer was turned into a stone,
and so they stand today, N group
forming n regular border along the
road from Carnac to Kerlescant.
Mounting many Of these stones are
cruclfxes and on Easter morning the
little professions passing through the
fields and along the road to the near
est church stop and rest a few mo-
ments and offer up an Easter prayer.
In scattered communities, where there
are few towns, an Easter service Is
often held in the fields, and n sermon
preached from a wayslde shrine, set In
one of the historical stones.

Did Uncle SmiIe2

Mr.. and Mrs. Tompklns had "eypec-
tatlons" from their rich old Uncle Ed
ward. So, when he came to them on n
few days visit, they prepared to do all
they could do to make a good impress
sion, and commenced by meeting him
at the station.
On the way home in a trolley car to
a Boston suburb they encouraged their
only child, also named Edward, to sit
IN the old g%entleman's knee, or, as he
was stout, as much of 1t as was avail
able.
Presently the small boy slipped from
his perch and sided over to his
mother.
81 don't think | want to sit on uncle's
knee any MORE" he said, in his clear
treble voice.
"Oh, Teddy, why?" said mother in
shocked tones.
Teddy eyed his great-uncle aggriev-
edly.
Because every time he breathes
out he pushes me off !" he complained.

Dinner MINIS.

To make after-dlnner mints you Will
need two cupfuls Of graduated sugar,
one-half cupful of water, a pinch of
cream Of tartar and one teaspoonful OF
peppermint. Even with wal prices on
sugar the ingredients cannot come to
ten cents. Dissolve the sugar over the
fire and add the cream of tartar. Let
1t boil without stirring till when tested
in cold water 1t Is brittle. Quickly pour
out on a buttered platter. When the
edges begin to look Opaque, fold the
cream toward the center and as soon
as 1t Is hard enough 20 handle, pull as
you would pull old-fashioned molasses
candy until 1t Is white. The pepper
mint flavor should be added In drops
to the candy when pulling 1t.

NEW WONDERS OF THE X-RAy
One Of Its Most Remarkable Uses Is
to Determine Age Of Human
Beings.

OF all the wonders that the X-ray Is
responsible for none is more remark
able than Its ability to tell age in hui
man beings.
Recently In Cincinnati, q youth was
arrested for striking and seriously In
juring a fellow workman. He stated
when he was arrested that he was
nineteen years Of age. Learning the
seriousness Of the charge against him,
the defendant and his father asserted
that he was but seventeen years old,
and demanded that the boy be at once
turned over to the juvenile authorities,
as the law Of this state prevents II
prisoner under eighteen years Of age
being tried In a criminal court.
Thoroughly convinced that the
youth was at least eighteen years old,
the juvenile court physician decided to
have X-ray photographs made Of the
epiphyseal bones Of his hand, elbow
and hip, and also photos of the same
bones Of a seventeen-year-old youth.
Comparison, it was hoped, would then
settle the matter, as 1t Is a known fact
in medical circles that when a boy
reaches the age Of eighteen years those
bones become hardened.
The photographs developed from the
X-ray pictures Of the bones Of the boys
showed that those Of the seventeen
year-old boy had not hardened, but
those Of the defendant in the case had
done so. The physician Immediately
fixed the age Of the boy at eighteen
or more.

Easter in
Other Lands

az ALL annual festivals among
Christian nations, Easter seems
to have made the most serious
impression, and the customs connected
with its first celebrations to have lin
gered the longest. Europe, with Its
many nations, and, therefore, many
peoples, has ever been the scene Of
various ceremonies distinctly belonging
to the separate countries, with the
Latin church always in the lead in the
matter of picturesque symbols and pro-
cesslons.
Strange customs, sometimes com
bined with elaborate ceremonies, are
found oftenest in the rural districts,
where the people have not free access
to the towns, and simplicity of living
does not question the difference be-
tween truth and tradition.
In Brittany many interesting Gus
toms are observed. 1t is a land of
