Notes OF the Season.

All Fools Day was formerly on
January LIST. and not April LIST.
Aprirs precious stone is the sap
phire, which symbolzes repent
ance."
On the evening of Easter day in
early times an efllgy of Judas Iscariot
was solemnly burned.
There was an old belief that any
child born on the last seven days of
April would dye wickedde Dethe.'
H April brides, according to an old be-
lief, are of mercurial temperament
and make good mothers but trying
wives.
Easter is derived from a goddess,
Eastre (to shine) whose festival, as
she was the goddess of Spring, was
held in April
France has weird tradition that
on Good Friday all the trees culver
and shudtler in dread remembrance of
Christ's passion.
In Cornwall 1.-The peasantry believe
that if they remove their bees from
the hive on any other day than Good
Friday. death will assuredly occur to
these useful and industrious insects.
Good Friday is called in France
| Passion Friday; in Germany, Still
Friday; whilst in Denmarb, it is
termed Long Friday, an allusion to
the lengthy fasts in connection with
its celebration.
In some countries exists super
soapsuds must be carefully poured
sti ion that it is unsafe to hang out
the clothes on Good Friday, and all
away, otherwise sickness and sorrow
will invade the family.
In the old nature worship of vari-
GUS peoples the Easter rabbit and egg
originated Rabbits and eggs are
emblematic OF fertility Easter is the
Spring festival lat which, among Latin
and Teutonic races, the fruitfulness Of
nature is worshiped,
In Germany the children are taught
II they ara good and mind their par
ents, and are truthful and kind to one
another "a white hare will steal into
the house on Easter Eve when every
body is asleep, and secrete any num-
Der of gayly-colored eggs in the corn

morning soon reveals a nest filed
I with Easter eggs.
Probably the only church in the
I world where Easter eggs are regular
ly given away to the worshippers is
St. Mary Woolnoth in London. The
4 ceremony has been observed at this
church for nearly seven hundred
years, For a long time the eggs were
provided in accordance with the
terms Of a legacy left by certain
John Spence, but this legacy has
1 lapsed long since, and the eggs have
4 been supplied by the generosity OF
Il successive rectors. Every egg given
