Easter EEgs.

The egg is the sign of the resurrection,
which the Easter festival commentaries.
The jews place it on the Passover table,
thereby indicating that their race is
to be resurrected. The Persians and
Druids both used it in their religious
ceremonies, and not only the Russian,

Easter morning gives the greeting,
Christ is. risen. = and the; reply, ssChrist
is risen indeed" is followed by an ex-

feature in all the old Eastern legends,
many of which are too improbable to
even bear the semblance of truth; others
might, be true, inasmuch as truth is
oftentimes stranger than, ,fietion.-Emma

Her RoxaI sueetness.

To be called Her Royal Highness is
the destiny of every woman born tc
wear crown, but it remains for one
woman among all the royal families to
have the endearing title of Her Royal
Sweetness given to her, and that honor
belongs to Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
She has that marvellous art of making
goodness seem attractive; of making
the right act the pleasant one and of inn
pressing upon. all who know her the
knowledge that to do good is to have a
pleasant time, and not to do it is to miss
some Of the pleasure of life.
Many princesses have : been written
about as having been beautiful, as hay
ing caused great wars, as having done
great deeds of valor, of having made
men die for them and kingdoms quarrel
over them, but Of none of them can it
be said. as it is Of this gracious lady.
that the whole world bows down before
sweetness and goodness, that peace has
been the watchword of her life; and
not only does she value peace, but those
loving sisters, Faith, Hope and Charity,
abide with her.-Lady Elizabeth Hilary

why Russia Peresecutes the Iaus.

Sc
The principal grounds upon which. the
Russian justifies the persecution of his
Hebrew brother are as follows. He as
serts: iFirst-That the Jews are too ra-
pacious and too successful in getting
money, and property away from the sur
rounding Christians. Second-That they
hold themselves, as class, apart from
the rest of the community Third-That
they furnish many of the leading nihil-
lists and mischief makers. Fourth-Thai
they evade service in the army and dc
not become patriotic Russians.
The first accusation may be ignored
as it amounts simply to saying that the
Jew is shrewder and more intelligent
than his neighbors Of other races. As tc
the Jews refusal to mingle more freely
with his neighbors of different creeds
or, in other words, to assimilate with
the population, it cannot be said that he
has as yet received any very warm invi.
tation to do anything of the kind. He
has been chased like a beast of prey fol
centuries. and now he is asked why he
does not like his prosecutors
The charge of nihilism is perfectly
true, to the extent that the Jews natur
ally furnish their propcrtionate quota tc
the malcontents who have the courage
to act But that the Jews among the
nihilists exceed their proper proportion
to the whole population is denied by
many trustworthy writers. The charge
that the Jew evades army service is dis
proved by official statistics.-P. G.
Hubert. Jr.. in Forum.

1t behooves American writer's who
have English readers to use irony very
sparingly: The English take things SO
literally that it sometimes seems hazard
to risk the grossest sarcasm with them.
The Christian Register has an amusing
experience lately which emphasizes this
warming: as
"In speculating on the Interpretation
of the Old Testament story of the fall OF
Jericho, we suggested that perhaps the
easiest way for those who were troubled
with its miraculous features was to treat
it simply as piece of Hebrew irony, as
the work of some musical critic of the
time. We said: The rams horn is a
musical instrument which, even in the
hands of the most perfect artist, might
be warranted to kill at fifty PAGES, but,
in the hands of an Indifferent player, is
capable of working almost any destruc-
tion. We can imagine, therefore, some
musical critic of that period who had
fallen away from the traditions of his
people, and was looking forward to the
music of the future, describing with ma
hcious sarcasm the destruction of
Jericho through blast from this instru-
ment.' The London Inquirer does us
the honor to quote what it calls our
'novaP explanation, seriously adding
The suggestion is ingenious, but it
seems to us rather far-fetched.'

Self Acting Paper Gutter.


"A Calcutta newspaper relates an Incl
dent which illustrates the magnificent
way in which the rajahs of India-or at
least those of them who remain opulent
and poweffulrrepay small debt. Not
long ago the Rajah Holkar, of Indore, in
paying ayisit to the viceroy, the Mar
quis of 'Lansdowne. at 1. Calcutta, was
shown by the marquis Several of the
London illustrated newspapers. In cut
ting the leaves of these journals, Lord
Lansdowne used an ivory paper cutter:
The rajah had never seen a paper
cutter before and was much interested
in the little instr ument.
eff your excellency will make me a
present of it. he said, 81 will send you
another in exchange"
The viceroy promptly gave his guest
the paper cutter, and the rajah returned
with it to his own dominions.
Lord Lansdowne had almost forgotten
the incident when he received notice
that the rajah's return gift was on the
way, and he was presently astonished to
have brought to him young and hand
some elephant, each of whose tusks had
been skllfully wrought into the shape of
paper cutter.
A servant brought some illustrated
newspapers, at which the elephant seized
them with his trunk and proceeded very
skillfully to cut the leaves with his
sharply trimmed tusks. He had been
trained to this accomplishment under
the rajah's orders.
The living paper cutter, it is under
stood, is still in Lord Lansdowne's pos
session, but it is not one of the ordinary
furnishings of the viceroy's library. For
his customary opening of books and
newspapers he keeps less bulky i'm

Baby is sick.-The woeful5 expression
of Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give baby for cold? 1t was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy" was the druggists answer!
81 don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine" said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Waters Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. Ellis baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's s
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

The Indiana pa Gazette sent a circular
of inquiry to the commissioners of all

was to ascertain the least expensive system
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1891-05-20

of pauper maintenance. The replies show
that there are two systems in general use
in the State, the 'overseer" and the
''county home plans. The majority of
the commissioner favor the county home
or almshouse system, as It seems TO be the
cheapest and most convenient way of
taking care of the poor.
1t is a mistake TO believe that cold drinks
are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold
drinks, as a rule, increase the feverlsh
condition of the mouth and stomach, and
30 create thirst. Experience shows it to
be a fact that hot drinks relieve thirst and
"cool off" the body when it is in an alb
normally heated condition better than ice
cold drinks. 1t is far better and safer to
avoid the free use of drinks below sixty
degrees, in fact, a higher temperature is to
be preferred; and those who are much
troubled with thirst will do well to try the
advantage to be derived from hot drinks,
instead of cold fluids to which they have
been accustomed. Hot drinks also have
the advantage of aiding digestion, instead
of causing debility of the stomach and
bowels.-Er.

their productions had fallen into good

to secure a seat. The relative merit was
found not an easy matter to arrive at, but
the honors finally rested upon No. g.
