descendants lay claim to noble blood
tracing their ancestry to Edward /,
king of England.
This family has produced many dis
tinguished men and women both in
Great Britain and America. DR. John
Hunter was the diScoverer of the cir
culation of the blood; Andrew Hunter
was an eminent professor of divinity
of Edinburgh, Scotland There have
been many surgeons, artists and au-
tLors in the family.
There were in the Continental army
during our struggle for independence
great many officers by the name of
Hunter. Descendants of these men
may claim eligibility to prominent
patriotic societies.
Among the first of the Hunters to
come TO the New England colony were
Christian, Elizabeth, Thomas and VIII
liam, who were all passengers on the

John Hunter was living in New

n IUCH has been related of the
MI spiritual observances of merry
= - old England at the Eastertide,
and too little told of the culinary
achievements that tickled the palates
of peasants and courtiers alike on that
great feast day, writes Marion Butler
in the Chicago Tribune.
Not only were these Easter dishes
intriguing in appearance and taste, but
they were made doubly fascinating by
folk ceremonies that attended them.
Nearly every day of the old Eng
lish Easter week had its own special
dish and unusual practices to go along
with it. Shrove Tuesday was, and
still is, in some sections, known as
pancake day." Although the term
"shrove" was originally derived from
the Anglo-Saxon "scrifan," meaning
TO levy a penance, the English cpl
cures evidently invented a most de-
lightful way of paying up, for on this
day it became traditional for every
family to bake thick, mealy pam
cakes, favored with sherry, and serve
them sizzling hot for breakfast
Maundy Thursday was the day on
which the kings of England used to
distribute baskets of food. known as
'maunds," to the poor These were
especially coveted for the fine, white
bread that they contained, loaves such
as those being rare delicacies of that
time. James II was the last SOW
fn
mony with all the elaborate church
rites that attended it.
Good Friday fairly abounds in Curl
Gus legends and customs connected
with hot cross buns. In the early
hours of Good Friday morning, Eng
lishmen used to be abruptly torn from
their pleasant slumbers by the great
hue and cry of the bun vendors, who
paraded the twisting, narrow streets
of the towns, pushing their unwieldy
bun carts before them, and chanting
from dawn to dusk the familiar old
refrain: Hot cross bunsl One
penny, two a penny, Hot cross bunsl"
Since modern warming contrivances
were unknown in those days, these
vendors had a difficult time keeping
their wares hot. They carried them
in large wicker baskets, such as we
still use on wash days here. The
buns were placed in layers of flannel
to keep them warm, and then covered
over with an outer cloth of white or
green. 1t is related that the bun
vendors of old were also extremely
cautious in the manner in which they
handed out the buns TO customers,
permitting only one hand to slide gin
gerly beneath the covers In drawing
out their wares, thus allowing only the
smallest possible breath of air to pene-
trate inside.
The hot cross buns of yesteryears
were much more crisp and crunchy
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-04-09

than our softer modern ones. They
also were more highly favored with
spices, and had a sticky coating of
Drowned sugar. So favorite a dainty
did these old pastries become with the
English, that more than two hundred
years ago in Chelsea, two royal bun
houses sprang up, waging the bitterest
of bun feuds" over the all-important
question of which baked the best
buns.
Each contended that the English
kings and queens, themselves, patron
lied its house. One took the name
of Chelsea Bun House, and the other
that of the Real Old Original Chelsea
Bun House. Popular taste seemed TO
shift, at intervals, from one to the
other.
Both occupied large, frame build
ings with covered counters, stretching
along their fronts. People used to travel
miles on foot and horseback, getting
up at the first flush of dawn on Good
Friday morning, to eat fresh hot cross
buns there, or TO buy them in square
black boxes to take back home.
Although the Christian sign of the
cross has been imprinted upon these
hot cross buns for many centuries
now. they were really products of pre-
Christian times Egyptian priests
used to sell buns in front of their tenn
pies, compiling small fortunes from
these strange admission tickets"
In primitive England, pagan tribes
rudely mixed ceremonial buns of
coarse grain and water as an offering
to the coming of the spring sun, an
event which they celebrated at wild
festivals. With the coming of Chris
tianity, the clergy waged warfare

The Egg Is PAGAN

Not many people realize that the
word Easter. although the name OF
Christian festival. is a survival Of
paganism, says Tit-Bits Magazine. II
takes its name from EOstre, the pagan
goddess, who was identified with the
Aurora Borealis; the rising light of
day and spring" Norsemen welcomed
her annually in a festival of ceIebra-
ton featuring an egg and a rabbit
as symbols of fecundity. The survival
of this custom is our present Easter
egg, tinted in imitation of the culver
ing beams of the Aurora Borealis.
As the Christian festival comedies
with the period of the pagan one. and
there is certain beautiful similarity
between them. the name has naturally
been retained.

Britain once more reatfirmS her obi
cation and intention TO render mutual
assistance TO France and Belgium in
the case of aggression in violation of
the LOcarnO pact. (The pact guaran-

9 Uiolator Of the treaty.
After the council meeting the repre-
Sentatives of Great Britain, France,
Belgium and Italy (the Locarno pow
erS) went into a huddle and came out
with a plan for security which was
publicly announced by Anthony Eden,
British foreign secretary in the house
OF commons.
Should the plan be accepted by Ger
many it will bring about a revival of
the world economic and world disarm-
ament conferences which are not con-
cluded, but are merely out of session
for a while.
Decide on Quick Action.
The plan falls into three major d.
visions. The first calls for immedi-
ate action on the part of the LOcar-
no signatOries no matter what Ger
many's attitude and behavior. The
second part aims at enabling Germany
10 restore the faith of other nations
in her integrity as keeper of treaties.
The third visions beginning new per-
manent security planning in a series
Of conferences to start probably in
May.
In such a program of conferences neU
efforts Ioould be made not only to pre-
SerUe the peace OF Europe, but that OF the
entire IOOrLd. The meetings tOouLd NOT be

crises, and attempt to guard against their
recurrence in the future.
These conferences would not be lin
tied TO league powers. The United
States and Japan would be invited to
sit in. Whether or not Germany
would be included seems to depend
upon whether the Rhineland situation

against this pagan practice, but met
with such scant success that they
evidently decided TO make the best of
a bad bargain by converting the buns
into Christian symbols through the
holy mark of the cross.
Another strange kind of bread,
baked by old English cooks on Good
Friday, was a loaf of very hard biscuit
dough. having the sign of the cross

year as special talismans to protect
their homes from fire. In the dark,

EGGS AT EASTER

i follows a custom of greatest an

that the Christian church adopted
