EASTER.

SOME OLD CUSTOMS.

To the man of the present day the advent of Easter usually provides an opportunity of re- laxation from daily work, in some cases extend- ing from Thursday to Tuesday. He who can enjoy this privilege of quitting his business for three or four days more often than not betakes himself to the country or sex-side to breathe fresh air, and indulge in a spell of idleness; but his less fortunate, brother, who, after all, represents the majority, usually spends his one "rest" day in some favourite pleasure resort comparatively near at hand, and this it may generally be said is one of the few old Easter custams universally observed nowadays, lei true that the indigestible hot cross bun still survives, hough that is falling into disfavour; and the Easteror Pasch egg, nowadays almost always made of chocolate or some other comestible, can yet be easily procured (says a writer in the Lon-Ion Queen). In bygone times, however, the Easter egg played a much more important role, and "an egg at Eisler" was a proverbin! saying: An oll writer of the seventeenth century quoted by Brand tells us that on Easter Eve in Cumberland, Westmoreland, and other parts of the North of England. boys used to beg for eggs, and, after they had been, hard boiled and coloured, these gifts were taken by their owners into the fields, and rolled up and down like bowls upon the ground, or thrown up like balls into the air. Another custom, we are told, was for people to set out a table, adorned with linen and Anwers, in the hest room in their house, and place a large dish full of coloured or gilded Easter eggs in the midst of it, sometimes twenty dozen, arranged in pyramidical form, being placed in the same receptacle. The famous Charles Watertan, too, has something to say about the "Parch eggs." presented by his schoolmaster to the pupils on Easter Sunday." They were hoiled hard in a concoction of whin:flowers," he says, "which rendered them beautifully purple. We used them for warlike purposes, by holding them betwixt our forefinger and thumb with the sharp ́end upwards, and as little exposed as possible. An antagonist then approached; and with the sharp. end of his own egg struck this egg. If he succeeded in cracking it, the vanquished egg was his; and he either sold it for a halfpenny in the market, or reserved it for his own eating. When all the sharp ends had been crushed, then the blunt ends entered into battle. Thus nearly every Patch egg in the school had its career of combat. The possessor of a strong egg with a thick shell would sometimes van. quish a dozen of his opponents, all of which the conqueror ultimately transferred into his own stomach, when no more eggs with unlike ends remained to carry on the war of Easter Week."

But for many ages our ancestor associated Easter with manly sports and customs. At one time the better classes are said to have indulged in horse-racing, and there is a well-known pas. sage in the book written by the old chronicler, Fitzstephen, setting forth how the youthful Lon doners of his day used to amuse themselves at Easter by playing at water quintain. A pole was fixed in mid-stream with a shield or square board attached to it, and the competitor, taking his stand, lance in hand, in a boat some little distance away, was carried swiftly down towards the target, to use the modern day expression. The object was for the youth to break his lance against the shield, and at the same time keep his standing position, but the unskilled practi- tioner would of course more often than not fail is both essentials, with the result that he would be violently thrown into the water, to the great Amusement of the numerous bystanders. Wrestling, too, was for long a favourite pastime at this season of the year, and another very popular amusement was the playing of hand. bail for tansy cakes. At one time bishops and INSULA

archbishops are said to have condescended to

pit themselves against their inferior clergy at the game, and at Newcastle-on-Tyne the Mayor, aldermen, and sheriffs were wont to grace the game with their presence. Another curious old Easter custom was "lifting," men lifting women on Easter Monday, and the women the men on Tuesday. This was a somewhat rough practice, generally observed by the lower classes living in the Midlands, and the victims were often glad to compound with their tormentors, and obtain their release by payment of a small sum of money.

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA,

It was once thought that a medicine was all the more beneficial for having a nasty taste and smell. We now know that such an idea is perfect nonsense. There is no more reason why medicine should offend the senses than why food should do so. Therefore, one of the greatest chemical victories of the past few years is what we may call the redemption of cod liver oil. Everybody knows what a vile taste and smell this drug bas in its natural state. No wonder most people declare they would rather suffer from disease than take and liver oil, and the emulsions are quite as foul and abominable as the plain oil, no matter what may be alleged to the contrary. Now it is one of nature's laws that a medicine which disgusts the nose and the palate, and also sickens the stomach, can have no good effect as a medicine; because the system revolts against it, and cries out to be delivered from

As may be expected, peculiar local customs observed at Easter can easily be found among the old writers, and Brand relates that if the young men living at Colschill, in the county of Warwick, could catch a hars and bring it to the parson of the parish before 10 o'clock on Easter Monday, the worthy clergyman was bound to give them a calf's head and a hundred eggs for their breakfast, as well as a groat of ..money.
