From the Earth TO the Moon.

1t does not seem improbable 10 the
course of events that the earth and the
moon may become more intimately
acquainted. A few years ago, scien-
lists held the theory that the moon
was a dead planet, without atmos-
phere, and, consequently, uninha bited.
This theory has recently been entirely
controversial. The work begun by
Professor Holden, at the Lick observ.
atory upon Mount Hamilton, has been
steadily continued, and the Photographs
taken by him aud his assistants have
revealed certain facts hitherto On.
known. Photographic observation
shows perfec, map Of the moon, and
upon the summit of one OF the hivh.
est mountains is a white spot which
has the appearance Of glacier, prov.
ing the presence of atmosphere and
making the theory OF the habi,ableness
OF the moon tenable. II is claimed
by Professor Holden tina, by a con,in.
uous series of photographs he is able
to detect any changes upon the SUR
face OF the moon, and that building

PRUNING TINE.

To farmers who have orchards and
desire to keep their trees in good CON
dition, we will state that it is time to
do pruning. II you have not begun
this work you should commence at
once, and keep at it until it is finished.
High trimming for trees is not pros
ferred by orchardists, and as no two
trees are exactly alike You will have
to use your judgment about each tree.
For apricots, peaches and prunes, the
first years pruning or at one year
after planting trees should be cut
back pretty we'll. You will lose .
little fruit the first years bearing, bu.
you will have better bearer there,
after. There should be q little trim
ming or pruning each year, leaving nc
limbs that cross SO as to chafe each
other, and opening enough among the
branches for good light and air FOL
circulation. Your trees, well cared
for, will bring you in good profit and
make your farm and the communit,
look much more thrifty and inviting,

Coroner Donlin, who CHANGED to be
looking out of the car window during
the day, saw at once that it was no
common face that glared at him. He
left the train, went TO the house and
there found kneeling BY the window
the stitfened corpse of q man. For
two days he had kept the vigil OF the
dead. Awakening in the night, alone
and oppressed, he had struggled to
the window, and, easping for breath,
died. The coroHer's explanation re-
vealed the fact that death had been
caused by Bright's disease Of the
kidneys, which came unannounced,
sudden ard sure.
Sad! Yes, but how common have
these sudden deaths become? They
give no warning. There is a quick
pain, struggle, aud all is over. Sta.
,is;ies show that 80 per cent. Of these
SUDDEN deaths are caused by kidney
disease. Slowly but surely these
great organs have been deco,nposing,
and when the climax comes it com-s
without warning. But there we're
warnings. The strange pains, pecu.
liar sensations aud unaccountable
feelings were natures warnings.
They may have been considered only
the symptoms of cold, but all the
while disease was working and death
surely approaching.
Can nothing be done? Yes; exer-
else care. Act promptly. Use some.
thing to sustain the kidneys. Do, as
SO many prominent physicians are ad-
vlsing their patients to do, take
Warmers Safe Cure. If this great
preparation which has saved so many
men and women from death by
Bright's disease were not household
remedy and the most popular in
America, we might hesitate to SO
warmly 'ndorse it; but being the only
absolute specific tor this great modern
disease, it Is commended most unhes-
itatingly. This entire page could be
filled with stateme nts from prominent
physicians in both Europe and Amer.
lea Of what the Safe Cure has done to
lessen B'ight's disease, prevent female
complaints, and check the great phys
ical evils of modern life. 1t is no
ordinary medicine, but a scientific
discovery which has received more
comme ndAt.ons than any other dis
covery OF the present century. The
we'll known DIR. James II. Bragg says:
"Wa,ner's Safe Cure has proved the
best medicine for humanity yet de.
vised."
When the uncertainty Of life is re-
membered; when the certainty Of dis
aster where care is not exercised is
realized, the importance of the above
truths should come home solemnly to
all.

Judge Clagett, in a recent
letter, expresses the opinion that no
aspirants to Office should be admitted
to political conventions. He saws
they have hitherto been controlled by
office seekers, and the people have
had but little to do in making nomi
nations. He thinks matters should be
reversed. Mr.. Clagett is right. But
the trouble is that the people will not
take hold and do this. Ii they did
they might occasionally nominate a
set of officials who would do their
sworn duty. But they will come to it
after while about the time when
taxes amount to 8 or 10 per cent.

Early one morning recently the
guards on the elevated road in New
York noticed middle-aged man ap.
parently kneeling beside an open
window. Although it was a raw and
cold morning, his head was uncovered.
His eyes seemed to be staring intently
across the street. Ali day long, az
the trains Numbered past, the man
seemed still to be watching, and even
when night came on a glimpse of =
white face could be seen staring out
into the darkness. The next morning
the guards were all on the lookout,
and still the man could DO seen with
his chin resting on the back of his

Suicide by Hanging.

On Friday of last week, at his home, in
Riverside township, Elwood Robinson, a
young man of about nineteen, solved for
himself, the mysteries of the hereafter by
hanging himself IN his fathers stable.
His father, Volney Robinson, one Of
our most esteemed citizens, had been
working in the field and deceased was at
the house. About eleven o'clock in the
forenoon he was seen to 60 to the stable
and when his father came in at noon he
found him there dead. =
That his death was premeditated is be-
yond all doubt. He had strapped his
feet together and then mounted box,
which, after adjusting the rope, he kicked
from under him.
The general opinion is that the young
man. though naturally bright, had not
been entirely in his right mind for some
time. He taught school in that neigh
borhood this winter and his actions, at
times. were quite eccentric to say the
least.

Easter Eggs.

Did you ever think why we have Easter
eggs, and why we have a special feast OF
eggs on Easter day?
The custom had its origin in ancient
times in the desire to abstain from eating
meats. No live offerings were made, no
flesh was eaten, SO the egg, from its
amount of nourishment was used as the
chief article of food.
But there is prettier thought. It
typi6es the resurrection. It contains all
the essentials of q new life. Think of it,
and then tell me could anything more
fitting have been an easter token than
this curious, mystical, wonderful thing
an egg.
Yon have all prepared your Easter
eggs, I presume, SO wont give this as a
recipe but just to tell you how two school
girls prepared some Easter mementoes
and how one lost a sweetheart for its
possessor.
The girls determined between hours TO
prepare some easter gifts. They visited
the grocery stores and purchased lot of
goose eggs. These were to be punctured
at either end with needle and the inside
blown out that the shell might Tot be
broken.
"Well, did you ever try it?' gasped the
slim one who was supposed to be the
best blower. since "Chaffie" was always
out Of breath.
"How I pity Boreas, I have most blown
the top of my head off," but after much
blowing and hard work at brushing and
polishing. the shells were ready to deco.
rate.
They procured some pretty decalco-
mamie pictures, transferred them to the
shells and with pretty tassels and easter
notices the eggs were decided success.
Three of the prettiest and whitest
shells were saved free from this mechan-
ical decoration and conveyed to the
studio of "Chufie's" young man who was
an artist. And really the time he spent
in decorating those shells, which were to
be kept by the trlo as mementoes of the
ante-easter fun they had had, il spent on
his masterpiece would have brought him
fame sooner than it came. Yes it came
after awhile and the fact that that egg
she'll had such pleasant memories attach |
ed to il. and was beside painted by quite
an artist made it very dear to the girl. |

MO. PACIFIC TIME TABLE.

Boreas. She carried it with her in her
jaunts and journeys packed in wooden
box lined with cotton. She had stayed
longer at one place than was her custom
for her habits we're rather migratory.
1t was approaching easter. She took
out the egg from its cotton nest and hung
it, not without some misgiviDgs, on q
picture frame.
On Easter Sunday her best young man,
she had found one now as well as
"Chufie," was admiring it and listening
to the laughable account of it and it's
fellows, very much entertained. He had
taken it down, you know some folks must
see with the sense Of touch too, and in
trying to replace il, he let it fall on the
floor.
Now perhaps you can't sympathize
with the feelings of the girl who was 30
angry, and the tears-she turned her
head to hide them-would come and
when the young man laughingly apollo
gized he did not dream of it's value to
her, she quietly told him; 1T does not
matter, 1t was only an egg shell, it's of
no consequence" But how often have
you said something of the same kind
when down deep in your own heart it does
matter.
Well it did matter and the girl would
say to herself after, sometimes: "Marry
that man? Never! My dreams, my am
billions may suffer at his hands as did my
precious egg she'll"
