One Old Custom that Survives.

An ancient custom which still survives was to roll eggs down a hill, the one which reached the bottom intact winning the rest. A survival of this custom is found in Washington, where the children gather in the White House grounds on Easter Monday ami roll eggs down the grassy slope in front of the building.
