specially upon the sixth chapter,
which gives scenes in connection with
the opening of the seals. Like most
expositors before him, the pastor
supposed the opening of the seals had
long ago been fulfilled in the rise of
Mahomet, the Reformation, French
Revolution, etc.

ARCHITECT HELD AS ENEMY
Man Was Employed on Atlantic Coast

Boston, April IA The arrest OF
Erwin F. Grossman, Of Wilmington,
N. c., an architect in the employ OF
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad at
that city, as an alien enemy, threat
ening the peace and security OF the
United States, was announced by
United States Marshal John j..
Mitchell tonight. Grossman, who was
apprehended at Quincy on informa-
ton wired from Wilmington, had
maps of this city and of Boston mar
Dor and a pencil sketch of Quincy IN
his possession. He pleaded not guilty
when arraigned in the Federal DISTRICT
Court, and was committed to jail IN
default of $4,000 bail.
The maps, Grossman explained,
were intended for publication as
guides to the shortest way between
certain points in the areas involved.
They were blocked out in the method
used by German military authorities,
and this, he said, was done because 1t
was the best way. Each map was IN
dexed, showing pubic buildings,
transportation facilities and other
features.
Grossman, man of fortynine, was
lieutenant in the German army

THE EGG-ROLLING CUSTOM

Editor Gazette:
In a lengthy editorial appearing
April 9th in an evening paper of
Washington, it is asserted that the
custom Of rolling eggs probably be-
gan in 1874 No doubt many Of your
elder readers can recall having par
ticipated in this form Of Easter cele-
bration long years before that date.
Either in the illustrated London
News or London Graphic the writer
saw several years ago an account OF
this peculiar custom to be found IN
small English town. The German
weekly Daheinl. of March 22, 1913,
contains a description Of egg-roillng
at Bautzcn on the Spree, small
place in Saxony. 1t says that docu-
mentary proof exists that traces the
custom back to the time of the Re-
formation and says it is probably an
outgrowth Of an old heather spring
festival. The hill whereon the rolling
takes place was dedicated to the
Gods.
Another Alexandria custom to be
found nowhere in America. beyond
the immediate vicinity, is the Tourna-
ment. Your readers may be inter
ested to know that this custom. pre-
cisely as celebrated in Alexandria
with rings and prizes and with the
browning of the Queen and a dance,
is tenaciously maintained in the ABB
bey Court at Middleburg on the Is
land of Walcheron in Holland. An
Illustrated article on this tournament
may be seen in Vom Fels Zum Nicer,
July %, 1914.
