The custom of egg giving on .:aster

In Die p oasecsion of some fainilies of
England a festoon of eggs Ls handed
down from one generation to tlio other
as an heirloom; they may bo seen
about the chimney place. They aro
addat to from year to year, with re-
ligious scrupulosity.
A Russian likes to have his Easter
eggs bear the words "Christos t okress"
(Chrlsl is risen). and whenever he pre-
sents an egg to any one he never pails
to repeat these words, in all reverence.
in Hungary the boys sprinkle the
girls with rosett'ater and they in tura
are given colored eggs.
Every ono knows that the hot cress

land. but'in our own country on Good
Friday -especially in the eastern cities.
The vogue of the bun sprung up in
England and was the time honored in-
d.lgence on Good Friday evening after
the rigorous fast days.
The belief Ls widespread In England,
among many Intelligent persons that

Good Friday to Goo:l Friday. ?tlany
persons go further and assert that any
sort of bread Naked on Good Fc.day
will retain its freshness indefinitely.
Through the eccentric generosity of
