About Easter.

Easter is movable feast Of the
Christian Church; there is no reason
why it should be, but it is. Why 1t
is, would take too long to explain
fully. Easter is really like most
of the other important feasts of the
Christian Church, an adaptation by
the early fathers of the Church OF a
pagan spring festival. The Jews got
it from the Egyptians, the Christians
adopted and adapted the Jewish
Passover. The Jewish year Is not
fixed, as ours is; four years ago the
year 565l began on September 10,
1890; this year the year 5655 will
begin on October l. The Jewish
Passover" occurs on the fifteenth
day of Nisan; as the year begins at a
different time from year to year, SO
the Passover Is celebrated on dli1er-
ent day each year. And, as Easter
practically is the same as the Passover
its date changes.
The early fathers refused to admit
that Easter was the same as the Pass
over, and so decided that it should be
celebrated on the Sunday after the
full moon which occurred upon or
next after March q, that being the
date of the vernal or spring equinox.
So Easter moves around. This year
the Jewish Passover will be four weeks
later than Easter. 1t is interesting to
note that Mr.. Woolbouse, an authority
on the calendar some years ago sug-
gested that Easter be celebrated regu-
larly on the first or second Sunday IN
| April.

Like a Brave Man.

John Wetzel was one of the bold
est pioneers of West Virginia. "a
man absolutely without fear, one OF
the chronicles of those times calls
him. The manner of his death was
worthy of that eulogy, In the pur-
suit of his occupation, that of hunt
er and surveyor, he often undertook
long journeys alone along the OHIO
rivera reckless proceeding, when
time and place are considered and
was never accompanied by more than
one or two friends. One day while
returning in a canoe with one COM
panion from an excursion to Middle
Island creek, he was hailed by a
large party of Indians and ordered to
put ashore. Without making any
reply he headed the boat for the mid
die of the stream and with his compan-
ion made every effort to escape. The
Indians fired on the instant, and one
of the bullets struck Wetzel in the
body. Seeing at once that the wound
was mortal, he ordered the other man
to lie down in the canoe, and then
though his life was ebbing fast, with
renewed vigor he pulled for the opPo-
site shore. The Indians fired another
volley, but without effect, and before
they could reload the boat was out OF
range. Wetzel expired soon after
reaching the bank, and was buried on
high ground by his companion HIS
grave may still be seen, marked by a
rough stone on which is traced IN rude
characters. "J. W, 1877. - Youth s
Companion.

"No, of course you are not perfect,
she interrupted.

nice sort of talk for a wife to give her

But the next morning Mr.. Bowser
seemed to have forgotten all about the
unpleasantness. After breakfast he
took out his wallet, looked it all over;
and selecting two dollar bill

it across to Mrs. Bowser with the re-
mark:

man, Mrs. Bowser, and | think you

sWEETHEARTs ALWAYS.

II sweethearts were sweetnearls al"sSe'
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half as pleasant
In the mingled draught OF life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and blashes
When the wife has frowns and signs,
And the wife's have wrathful gutter
For the glow of the sweethearts eyes.
II lovers were lovers always
The same to sweethearts and wife,
Who would cbange-for future OF Eden
The joys of thi- checkered life?
But husbands grow grave and SILENT
And cares on the anxious brow
Oft r, place the sunshine that perished
With the words of the marriage vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still
Whose voice, as of old, can charm;
Whose kiss, as OF Old can thrill;
Who has plucked the rose to find ever
It's beauty and fragrant increase,
As the flush of passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace;
Who sees In the step lightness;
Who finds In the form OF grace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face.
Undimmed and unchanged. All happy
/. he crowned with such life
Who drinks the vile pledg ng the sweetheart
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife

In the Sick Room.

Sickness is calamity from which
no flesh is exempt. There are balms
for the wounds of the rich, but the
poor must bear their own infrmities.
With love, exquisite neatness, patience,
encouragement, quiet and little hos
pital learning wondrous cures can be
wrought. Chewing will stop ordinary
nose bleeding, and the shock Of drop
ping a cold key or handful of pen
nies down the back will often give re-
lief. In case of a severe attack syringe
the nasal cavity with cold salt water.
Ii this does not stop the flow Of blood,
throw the head back, raise the arm as
far as possible, and apply cold sponge
to the bridge of the nose anu the back
of the neck.
The quickest way to treat a burn
or scald is to cover it with carrOn oil
and -four and bandage il with linen.
In case of prostration from either ac-
cident, administer a mild stimulant.
When a delicate person is fatigued
and has no appetite sponging the body
with bathing whiskey, diluted alcohol
or milk will nourish the system and
produce rest or refreshing sleep.
A bug in the ear may be drowned
out with a little warm water. Apply
with a sponge or syringe, and after
each injection incline the head with a
Jerk so as to dislojge the contents of
the cavity.
A piece of new muslin dipped IN
glass Of cool water will remove sordes
from the teeth and cool the lips Of
patient. Sore lips should be anointed
with a little glycerinc diluted with
water.
To induce a baby or growing child
to put out his tongue drop a little
sweet oil on the upper lip.
Distressing vomiting may be re-
Geyed by applying TO the stomach a
hot shingle or woolen pad brought
from the oven.
In case of sleeplessness IN sickness
frequent changes Of pillows will have
a soothing influence. The case should
fit the pillow and be kept smooth a
change of nigbtgowns is restlul' and
the refreshing sense of cool water OF
some spicy toilet water, like lavender
or orange flowers, applied to the fore
head. throat hands and feet can not
be oyerestimated.
A patient should never be raised
suddenly to receive food, drink or
medicine. Aside from distressing tho
sufferer there is danger OF heart troub-
le. Place the arm under the pillow
and gently force the invalid into a
position between lying and sitting.
Medicine cups and porcelain spoons
are now in general use, and save con-
siderable unnecessary torture.

A Burglars Presence OF Mind.

A burglar one evening about 8
o'clock gained access to the sleeping
apartments Of house IN one OF the
best portions Of Philadelphia. While
engaged in ransacking the room he
heard some one coming up the stairs
and not having time to escape he
sought safety under the bed. The
door opened and the lady Of the house
entered, and after busying herself
about the room for a few minutes
picked up book and commenced to
read The bed under which the fell
low was concealed was q very low
one, and his cramped position was
anything but comfortable. He did
not dare TO move for fearof betraying
himself, but kept hoping she would
leave the room lor some reason or
other and give him chance to es-
cape. She staid on, however, and
about 10 o'clock was joined by her
husband. After few minutes con-
versation they retired to the very bed
under which the burglar lay concealed.
In trying to shift his position a little
the fellow under the bed made a
slight noise, which Immediately
alarmed the woman. Calling TO her
husband, she said, Tom, there Ia
some one under the bed. Nom

IL tell you / heard some one, she
replied. 1T is only the dog, SAID
he. Here, / will prove it TO you,
and with that be threw his arm over
the edge of the bed, and swapping his
fingers, called az he would TO dog.
The fellow under the bed took IN
the situation in an instant, and real
lziag that he must act promptly act
ualIy reached out bis head TO where
the hand hung and licked the fingers
with his tongue ar a dog might do.
The act was performed 20 naturally
that the man in the bed was COM
pletely deceived. and after saying TO
his wife, Il told you 90, and telling
her to go to sleep, turned oyer and
was soon l5st in slurnber. Alter
waiting until convinced thai they
were sound asleep the burglar crawied
out from under the bed, and taking
