In Egypt.

"Curious how ones feelings get
blunted by the sight of blood and hor-
rors," says Sir Charles Wilson, in his
new narrative of the Nile expedition.
''Tbere was one strange incident. An
unwounded Arab, armed with aspear,
jumped up and charged an officer. The
officer grasped the spear with his left
hand, and with his right ran his
sword through the Arabs body; and
there, FOR few seconds, they stood,
the officer being unable to withdraw
his sword until man ran up and shot
the Arab. 1t was aliving embodiment
of one of the old gladiatorial frescoes
at Pompeii. 1t did not, strange to
say, seem horrible; rather, after what
had passed, an everyday occurrence.
I used to wonder before how the
Romans could look on at the glad
iatorial fights; do so no longer"

Cause for Rejoicing.

CNCTNNAT.-The Times-Star says
"a remarkable discovery made last
winter, is attracting wide spread inter
est. AS It involves a. most important
question,-vhat of public health, it is
being discussed by eminent physicians
and public men. 1t is shown conclu-
sively that throat and lung troubles
can be cured without resorting to the
use of morphia or opium, especially
dangerous in the case of children as
arresting development, and poisoning
the system. The Governor of Mary
land and all the officials of that state
endorse the remedy; the state chemist
of Delaware pronounces it the purest
and most effective, and hospitals and
charitable institutions in Philadelphia
and other cities use it with remarkable
results. The remedy which is only
twenty-five cents a bottle, is Red Star
Cough Cure. 1t is purely vegetable; it
contains no poison or narcotics, and
is a positive cure.

Wild Horses.

Droves of wild horses are said to be
in the Mississippi River bottoms a
hundred miles above Memphis. They
are supposed to have originated from
horses lost by the rebel Gen. Forrest
in his campaigns. His command was
splendidly mounted on thoroughbreds,
and a large number of them escaped
into the swamps. There is in that
region a large district of uninhabitable
country and much fine grazing land
A company is being organized to ex-
plore the region and test the truth OF
the report.

A Dead Sure Thing.
from the Philadelphia Press


The passion of betting takes pre-
eedence of everything with some men.
No opportunity to make g. wager is
ever permitted to go by. Illustrative
of this good story is told OF a New
York gambler, who was in the habit OF
getting drunk occasionally, and, when
in that condition. was not at all part1c-
ular about his associates. One night,
before the Brooklyn bridge was built,
he fell in with two professional cracks
men in saloon near the old Fulton
ferry, and the three drank heavily.
Toward midnight it was proposed to
make trip to Brooklyn, and the gam
ble-, easily persuaded, accompanied
the other two. Arrived in Brooklyn,
a house was selected, and the gambler
requested to wait outside while the
burglars entered. He did so and they
returned in few moments disgusted.
The house was unoccupied and moth
ing had been found except a coil OF
soft lead pipe. Determined not to go
back empty-handed, one of the burg
lars wrapped the pipe around his waist
and buttoned his coat over it. When
the party arrived at the ferry emit
rance they 1Ound BOAT just starting.
All three ran for it. The gambler and
one burglar got aboard safely. The
man with the lead pipe melast. He
jumped and fell into the water. I'm
mediately there was great consterna-
ton and the boat was stopped.
"Throw him a linep' was shouted.
"Get life preserver!" "Heave block
over-board !"
Then the smart man-thereis one in
every crowd-stepped forward and re-
marked, coolly:
''That'll be all right. There's no
hurry He's bound to come up three
times before he browns"
Instantly the gamblers right hand
went up.
''I'll bet you a hundred dollars he
DON'T"
And he didn't. The gambler was
betting on dead sure thing.

A Wise Reform,

The habit of administering quinine in powerful
doses, as an antidOte to malarial maladies, was
once dangerously common. Happily this prac-
t1ce has undergone wide reform. Not only the
public, but professional men have adopted not
wholly, of course, but largely, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bltters as safe botanic substitute for the
pernicious alkalOid. The consequences of this
change are most important Now fever and
ague sufferers are cured-formerly their COM
plants were only for the time relieved, or half
cured-the remedy eventually failing to produce
creased. course of the Bitters persistently
followed, breaks up the worst attacks and pre-
vents their eturn. The evidence in favor of this
sterling specific and household medicine is of no
ambiguous character, but positive and satisfac-
tory, and the sources whence it proceeds are
very numerous

EASTER MORNING.

The glorious morn that keeps ever green
the memory of the second birth of the ma
iestic "man of sorrows" among the children
of earth, for whom he offered bis life, breaks
again upon the world, and at time when
awakening nature, like new creation. is
starting into life. The story is a familiar one
yet sn ever pleasing and pathetic one. As
Mrs. Lease says in her poetical tribute this
morning, the ages have rolled away, yet, its
promise of termination and blissful eternity
instinctively draws the soul out, and blesses
it with the hope that is immortal.
This is the day of eggs, and why! The
egg is taken as emblematic of return to
life. 1t is to all appearances dead, but we
know that if placed under proper condi-
lions, life will come forth from it. The use
of eggs at Easter was adopted from usuage
older than our era. Easter must always be
on Sunday. Ii is not particular date that
is observed, but particular Sunday. How
to decide upon the Sunday, gave the very
early churches much trouble, and there
were differences on that account, but the
matter WAS settled at a council held at Nice,
in the year 1875. The rule was adopted that
'Esster day is always the first Sunday after
the full moon, which happens upon or next
after March Dist, and if the full moon hap
pens on Sunday, Easter is the next Sunday
after. This gives Easter day wide range
of dates as it may occur on any Sunday
from March Odd to April 18th.
