FRA ANGELICA DA FiEsoLE.
Still another Christ or the Cross
stands out in the art wOrld-that
canvas by Fra Angelica da Flesole,
a circular picture, which hangs In
the Academy at Florence.
His Christ on the Cross is consid-
cred by art connOisseurs as n of his
best. 1t contains three figures, the
Christ on the Cross, the Virgin and
crown of thOrns, hangs on the cross.
His head surrounded by a curious
fan-shaped golden halo with three
red stripes. The face shows sadness
and is well drawn. The picture Is
rich in color, the background being
"A blue sky of the most vivid shade.
The blood on the hands, side and feet
which trickles down In three straight
streams is a brilliant red, forming
II strong contrast to the sky.
MURlllO.
Ecce Homo (Behold the Mani, by
Murillo, is regarded by many as the
most beautiful painting of Christ in
existence. This artist Is noted for
the sweetness of his faces, always
with a touch of sadness, and in this
he has eXcelled himself, for the whole
makeup of the picture is sublime.

OLD BELIEFS ABOUT EASTER
peeP-Rooted Ideas That Have Been
Current From the Earliest Days
OF the Celebration.

There is an old weather supersti.
ton to the effect that If the sun shines
on Easter 1t will shine on Whitsun-
day
IL you battle with cold water ON
Easter day. you will keep well all the
year.
There is another old superstition
about eggs. and that is to rub over
the face an egg that has been colored
for Easter to have a nice complexion.
To cry on Easter is a sign YOU
will cry the following Sunday, too.
1t is bad luck to keep Easter eggs.
They should be destroyed.
Ii a rabbit runs across your patb
on Easter Sunday 1t is a good luck
sign.
For the lovelorn, there is n warning
that one should not get engaged ON
Easter Sunday, else the engagement
will be broken.
Give a man a red egg at Easter
to secure his love-" is an old d
amendment.

1t seems fitting that at Easter time
ones thoughts should turn to the art
galleries which contain the famous
paintings p%ortraying the crucitixion
and resurrection of our Savior. For
generations most of them have hung
upon the walls of museums of Eu-
rope and have been an inspiration
not only to lovers of art, but to all
Christians as well who have studied
and admired the conception of the
artist and the manner in which that
conception has been portrayed on the
canvas.
RUBENs.
One Of the worlds most noted
paintings showing Christ on the Cross
is by Peter Paul Rubens. 1t has but
the one figure-the dying Christ,
hanging on the cross. The back
ground Is dark, the sky being almost
black, which brings out more fully the
real beauty and richness of the work.
The head Of Christ has fallen against
Il right arm and a peaceful ex-
preston Is or the face, showing that
the agony has passed. The body
has sagged and the muscles of the
arms are prominent. Blood trickles
from the nail holes in the hands End
feet, while that from the wound In the
side has dripped on the loin cloth,
which is draped In graceful fashion.
The figure Is well drawn, being n
perfectly natural form of a tall slen.
der man Of the age of Christ ut the
time of HIS cru~cifixion.
Rubens painted many pictures Of
the Christ. but this one Is by far the
most striking and beautiful. He was
the chief master Of the Flemish school
Of painting, and was one of the most
versatile artists of all times. Be
ginning the study of art early In
life he worked under many famous
painters, particularly In Venice and
Rome. He was a man of scholarly
attachments, speaking six languages.
and was intimately acquainted with
nearly every ruler In Europe, the ma
jority of whom gave him commits
sions for pictures. He died at Ant
werp IN 1640.
DURER.
Another great canvas showing
Christ on the Cross is the work of
Albrecht Durer, and like the one of
Rubens shows only the figure of the
Savior. The background Is an almost
