LIFE-PRICE WE PAY FOR 1T
Penalties of Fame Are Debts of Az
Existence, With High Cost of
Living" Significant.

The penalties of fame are the penal
ties of all life, which, when one views
it resolutely and without taking refuge
behind rose-colored spectacles, teens
with contradictions that give deeper
significance to that well-worn phrase,
"the high cost of living" And the
chief part of the expense lies not in
the things-food, clothing, shelter
which are demanded by our material
and bodily needs as human animals,
writes Mary Garden in the New York
World.
Really to live as woman or as man
implies to want something Or other
very greatly. And really to want some
thing very greatly means to strive for
that something with inappeasable
eagerness. And thus to strive means
one of two s-disappointment; or
achievement and the realization that
in gaining the one thing Il score Of
others have been missed.
Such is life and the price we pay
for it.

and to these oldtime festivals many of
the customs and superStitiOuS rites still
connected with Easter are clearly
traceable. The name Easter, given to
the day by the Teutonic nations-the
Roman nations have retained the old
Hebrew name, .pascha, under modified
forms, as. the Jour &c Paques, of the
French-is derived by Bede from Eos
ter or Ostara, the name of an old
Anglo-Saxon goddess, in whose honor
Spring festival was celebrated.
Grimm was unable to find any mention
of deity of this name among the an
cient Germans, but from the fact that
the month of April still bears the name
ostermona: Tin Old High German os-
tarmanoth, he did not doubt that such
a goddess, probably 1.-The divinity OF
the radiant dawn" had been known
among them. The old OSter festival
was clearly of a solar character, a Gel
ebration in honor of the birth or the
rejuvenation of the sun of the new
year. This is made evident, aside from
the known character of similar feSti-
walls in other parts of the world, by
many of the obServanceS which it be-
queathed to Easter. Thus it was for
merly q custom all through the north
of Germany, on the night of Easter
Sunday or the third night following, to
Iindle% e%bonfirest on all the heights, af-
fording a magnificent spectacle, when
these fires were to be seen here and
there over miles of country. This Gus
tom had become simply a mode of
merrymaking, but it is held with plaus-
ibllity that originally the bonfire was
symbolical of the new fire that was to
warm the earth and quicken it into re-
newed life after the cold embrace of
winter.
Ancient Popular Belief.
Another indication of the ancient
solar character of this festival is an
old popular belief, said to survive still
in Brandenburg and SaXony, that the
sun at the moment of rising on the
morning of Easter gives three joyous
leaps, that he dances with youthful
Joy. This curious belief was not con-
fined to Germany. In the middle dis
tricS of Ireland, according to Brand,
it was customary, after spending East
er eve in merrymaking and carous-
ing-watching the pot boil, the con-
tents of which were to break the long
