Easter rabbit for instance is involved
in much obscurity It Is known that
the rodent was used for sacrificial pur
poses long before the foundation of
Christianity and also that it was an
animal sacred to Eastre goddess of
light from whose name our term Eas

How the rabbit became the custo
dian of the nest of gayly colored Eas
ter eggs is no mystery to the German
toymaker Each district has its own
popular variant Badens legend Is as
follows
In the mountains overlooking Frei
burg early in the twelfth century there
was an abbey of Benedictines who
dominated the spiritual affairs of the
entire countryside At the abbey
church the Easter festival was always
celebrated with marked splendor and
it was visited on those occasions by
the devout from all Germany One of
the chief attractions of the great feast
was a series of religious tableaux rep

A Patient Scot
Alexander Inncs Sliuuil iu his A
Medley of Memories writes of an eld
Scotchman whom he knew In his boy-
hood He used to drive cattle In a
flowing flowered dressing gown which
bad been passed on to him and he only
j shaved his gray beard at long Inter
vals One of my earliest recollections
is seeing him biting off tbe tails of a
litter of terrier puppies in the court
yard He was a philosopher In his own
way and with the free run of the serv
ants hall and butlers pantry he took
life easily
He never complained Once when
the landlord paid a morning visit that
personage splashed from the drainage
outside the door into a puddle within
where some ducklings were disporting
themselves aud the wet was dripping
over him from the blackened rafters

Etiquette of Cnnniballfim
Even among the savages of French
Africa who eat human flesh there are
differences said Paul Pucci a young
Italian traveler Some while agov
when exploring in that country I learn
ed a good bit about the ways of the
various tribes In a majority of them
cannibalism is indulged only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle It is aJl right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans but it
would be a gross violation of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon mem
bers of the same tribe This delicacy
of sentiment however is not universal
and In one tribe in particular where i
noted the absence of any old persona
I learned that it was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the lo
cal food supply This confined the pop
ulation to the young and hardy for

A SNOW WHITE RABBIT LEAPED FROM THE NEST
Scriptural account of the resurrection
and preliminary to this was given a
sort of object lesson In the meaning of
the mysterious process In the course
of this latter feature a huge nest of
beautifully colored eggs which are
symbolic of the resurrection was the
deus ex machina
On the afternoon of Holy Saturday
Father Boniface the young- monk who
had charge of this Important duty
craved an audience with the abbot of
the foundation
Alas my lord said the young
monk dejectedly the foxes have eaten
every chicken belonging to the abbey
They have in fact eaten every chicken
in the country and there Isnt an egg
to be had for love or money
Then why havent you seen to it
that we were rid of the nests the
abbot asked severely
Because your lordship has ordained
that no living thing which is mention
ed with respect In the sacred Scrip
tures shall be hurt and the fox is men
tioned therein and almost always re
spectfully Father Boniface reminded
him
The Benedictine smiled faintly The
fox is a sly shiner but he should not
be permitted to outwit a community
living under the rule of the blessed
Benedict he said dryly In the good
old days my brother you would hsve
gone directly to heaven with your
plaint and not to your abbot
The young monk betook himself
to tbe chapel and passed the night
In vigil At early dawn he arose from
his aching knees and sought the nest
which he had left empty As he ap
proached a snow white rabbit leaped
from the nest and the delighted monk
saw that once galn in the history of
holy things the sly old fox had been
outmatched for the nest was filled
with eggs more splendid In their hues
tijan his feeble art had ever been able
to provide
Hard Lines For Bachelors
Koreas the wrong place for bache
lors said a traveler Bachelors in
Korea are considered as children and
have only childrens privileges You a
Korean bachelor get thirsty You en
ter a rest house and call for palm wine
The pretty little amber colored wait
ress says
M Married
No says you
Heraus then says she And out
you go unslaked
You want to vote but they wont
let you if you are not married
You apply for a job somewhere
How many children have you Js the
first question youre asked
And as soon as you say youre un
married they laugh in your face to
think that you should presume to apply
for work anywhere
Where Babies Swim
I spend my winters in Samoa said
a traveler It is always summer
tiiere There the babies swim Can
you imagine a quainter a more charm
ing sight than a host of babies none
over two years old laughing and
crowing and swimming like fish in
pools of clear sea water You will see
this sight in Samoa Samoan women
believe sea baths benefit babies and
in that equable climate they bathe their
little ones daily the year around The
youngsters soon learn to swim They
can swim before they can walk And
to see these pretty brown babies swim
ming in the sea is well worth a 5000
mile trip to Samoa Philadelphia
