Yet It S said that originally tho one wan intended to roprcBont tho aun and four seasons and the other to mvert oauan England to Christian It v. The former Is declared to havo teen flrat made by the Unmans, who culled It the annulus a word they .r.. unid to have formed out of annuH, n V),nr by which they meant a year ring. The year represented the mm's annual circuit and tho four tiwken tho seasons. It Wis aftor- viard known under names in tho nioro northerly countries of Europe.. Tl.erc are two stories of the orin or the hot cross bun. The Christian missionaries to Kngland aro Htl.l to have discovered that, although ticy could alter the views of the pimple on religious matters, they eoul l !i t Induce them to abandon their time honored pagan custoT.s. One U tlieae was the eating of n certain 'tin 1 of cake In honor of tho Co ldi ss of Spring. They decldrM to put tlie flgii of the cross on the tiaxon buns and launch them forth on a mission ary enterprise. Tho b-.ms accom plished their mission. Tho other story Is that in earl times In the observance of Holy Week the Church was more otrlct In the matter of fasts than now. Only a certain amount of food could be .eaten. This was Indicated by tv?o boundary marks made In the dough to show the length and width of the piece. The loaves were sold In churches and were carried from p'ace to place by pilgrims. So the ( as torn of crossing the bread used on Good Friday became fixed. Those are not the only kinds of shapes of bread whose origin has been traced to odd circumstances. The crescent shaped rolls which one tees In some parts of the city had a serious birth. On one of the occa sions when the Turks besieged Vien na, Peter Windier and his wife had a bakery in that city. This baker's patriotism was tinctured with a sense of humor, and possibly a sense of business. At any rate, he con ceived the Idea of making rolls in the shttoe of a crescent, the emblem of the Turks. They found a ready tale, for everybody wanted to devour the half moons typifying the Manom euns at the outer gate. A great many Americana would not know what Schwaanerkuchen Is unless they asked a native of the old German city of Rostock. It Is to be had onlv at a certain season of the yoar, because it commemorates a klndlv act of a man years ago. Ros tock was surrounded by an enemy The city gates were clotied and the ei.emv had oome close to the wall with clubs, spears, heavy mortar slings and many other oldtlme Imple ments of war. Once, and again and again they rushed upon the wall with thuntierous noise and clanging weap ons, but the brave burghers as often forcer! thorn hack. Then.

Hooks rUiturned After Year. with the best system and careful watching books go astray, but It Is hard to write them off as entirely "lost." since they have a way of turning up that I only paraueiea oj the cat of lyric fame. The other day at the desk or one of the oldest city Institutions, the Philadelphia library at Locust and Juniper street, there was returnea by a fair borrower, a book that had been cut a little over three years. KY.rtunn.telv for the borrower, no nn. or exacted and after Bhe bad gone tne question as to whether the woman had not established a record, was asked. "No, indeed," Bald the librarian, hnvo in tha library several vol umes that were held ten. fifteen an J twenty years, and one book that was returned to us after being gone for over a century! It is one ot a val uable set of the classics, and after succeeding In hiding Itself so long, flaally turned up In Holland, where it. label declared Its lawful place of abode and the honest tinder lost no time in forwarding It to pnuaaei phia. Yes. we have books out still longer, and I have not th least doubt that some of them will yet find their way back to our shelves." Deepest Rooted of All Hates. Tha a inn if hatred ot the white race for the black, yellow and other colored races U by no means one sided. It is fully mutual. Year l.lvlnrston observed that "v . " m . . "There must be something m tne ap pearance ot white men frightfully repulsive to the unsophisticated na tives ot Africa; for on entering vil lages previously unvisitea oy curu- peans, it we met a onuu tiu.u quietly and unsuspectingly toward us, the moment he raised his eyes and saw the men in 'bags' he would take to his heels In tn agony of ter ror, such as we might reel ir we mei a live Egyptian mummy at the door of the British Mupeum.
