A Big Cut.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Tacoma Wednesday night announced
y cut of from five to Is per cent in
the wages Of all employees OF the
Northern Pacific. The railroad men
were aware Of the reduction earlier
in the day, but they say that the
cut affects only the freight depart
mcnt-ot1ice men particularly. 1t
is stated, but not authoritivcly, that
the reduction in some cases amounted
to considerably more than 10 pei
cent as announced in the dispatches,
This report cannot be confirmed
however, as General Agent A. d
Edgar is out Of the city and in M
absence it could not be detinltcl.
stated Just how much is the reduc
tjon. Whatever it may be, vhcthe
Is or more per cent, the cut is a ce1

order are in Il state OF suspense q

Easter Eggs.

It is said that eggs, rabbits and lilies rule at Easter. These three emblems of the season certainly furnish great amount of merriment and gladness, as the festivities of the occasion depend largely on a full supply of them. The practice of using eggs is traced back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, as well as to the Romans and Gauls, who taught their people to look upon the egg as symbol of divinity. The gift giving of eggs at Easter is an old GUS tom derived from the Persians, who exchanged eggs at their New Years feasts-that is, at the beginning of their agricultural year-in token of a renewal of vernal life. The Jewish people used the egg in the feast of the passover, and even the ancient Druids performed their religious rites with 2.er..+:....s;''9s of egg symbols. In Italy eggs are carried to church and blessed, after which they are used on the table with floral decorations. Visitors are invited to partake of Easter eggs as Q special act of courtesy.-Detroit Free Press.

for lingering. The warm spring sun shine made fiickering tracings of the leafless vines upon the stained floor. A straight marble walk led from the en- trance to the steep village street. Opp posite, was a well-kept, pillared man. sion. Beyond, the eye looked down into a narrow valley, filled with streets of pleasant homes that ran up the slopes beyond to the railroad tracks and station. One or two long, many widowed mills with their fioel5s of wooden houses about them, all garish in yellow paint, told of the industries of the little village. There was a glimpse beside one mill of sheet of falling water like glistening silver.
 "The lines have fallen to you in pleasant places, ; the caller said, softly taking in all the promise of the sweet spring day and longing to speak com fort. But Miss Isabel made no assent. A small boy came up the white walk leaving the print of each muddy shoe upon it's polished surface, and handed Miss Merrill a note. She looked up from its reading with shadow of a frown.
 'They want my ivy for the church tomorrow" she said. Tt has been taken there for the last five years, but 1t is so large now it disturbs it sadly. IL did not recover from the effects of the removal last year for three months, and said then it should not be taken down again" Then suddenly, while both face end tone belied the more gracious words: "Ycs, tell them they may have it. But will send it my self; at least it will fare better in David's hands What does it matter, anyway" bitterly.
 The caller was watching the shabby boy down the street.
 II am glad the winter Is over and gone for such" she said then. That is Eddie Wright. He and his little sis ter are to go the poorhouse Their mother has just died, on the Lane. She used to be a teacher. Her hus- band die9 three years ago. She has been sick all winter, and I suppose they have really suffered from hunger and cold.
 "So? l did not suppose we had any suffering in this village heart suffering," Miss isabel added

longing gih'g;'' iesiife tdat vi.is Easter day might become her awakening.
 That evening the glad praise service seemed all for her. After it she walked homeward with the caller of the day before.
 Did you say those Wright children were going to the poorhouse?" she asked at parting.
 II suppose so, yes, unless some one offers to take them"
 Miss Merrill found Martha in the conservatory strengthening up plant the cat had thrown over.
 Martha, am thirty-fve years old. am not?"
 You should know, surely"
 And that is years of discretion is 1t not?"
 With some, yes"
 Martha, l am going to adopt two children"
 The Lord be praised, ma'am. A body with big house, and money in the bank, and lonesome heart, is to be pitied."
 Another Easter day comes around to the pleasant home on the hill, but Miss Isabel finds brief time for her morning study. The children, who have heen hers now for nearly year, require at tention. Little Alice, who has the voice of a bird, is to sing at the even ing concert, and Eddie is to speak, and Miss Isabel is as proud and anxious as any mother in the land
 But they are not all. In the sunny bedroom off the sitting-room, a sweet faced old lady lies among her pillows, and, almost helpless from rheumatism as she is, everyone in the house comes to her for comfort and advice. She has outlived all near relatives, and there had been for her only an Old Ladies' home in a strange city when Miss Isa- bel took her in. And in the kitchen an old man feebly totters about, or waits in restful quiet by the window. It is distant cousin of David who has no one to care for his infrmities.
 "A giving spirit is a dreadful grow ing thing" Martha says. "If you once let it in, it's like yeast a-spreading and spreading until the whole batch is full of it. "
 Miss Isabel's reward is already great: tFor there is no debtor in the world so honorable, so superbly honorable, as love. "-Howe Genning, in Chicago Ad- vance.

FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
ships Lead Brought Up a Five Dollar
 Gold Piece from the Depths.


 When the steamer City of Augusta of the Savannah line was just in sight of Cape Hatteras recently one of the pas sengers, an old man with snow-white hair and beard, walked into the saloon and approached group of passengers seated at a table. In bis hand he held five dollar gold piece. Stopping be- fore the group and holding out the coin he said:
 "There is gold piece that has just come from the bottom of the ocean. l was on deck when they were heaving. the lead and after the second officer had examined the soap on the end of it to see what kind of substance it brought up and had placed it again in the rack at the side of the rail, out of curiosity I, too, examined it. Looking at the end. where the soap is put l saw through the dark gray clay which the lead had brought up from the bottom something glisten, and, taking out my knife, dug into the soft substance and drew forth this gold piece. It was edgeways in the soap at the end of the lead and in no other way could it have got there than by being picked up from the bot tom"
 As he held the gold piece in his hand and afterward passed it to the passen- gers to examine it could be seen that 1t was covered with soap and was dull in appearance. The water where it is as serted the coin was taken was about one hundred and fifty feet deep. All of the passengers soon heard of the find Many doubted the story of the white haired passenger, but he firmly ad- hered to the original story that the gold piece came from the bottom of the ocean and was brought up by the lead of the City of Augusta. Capt. II. c. Daggett, the commander of the ship, shook his head when he heard the story That night at dinner he told the pas sengers that he had decided to give up his command and go fishing for gold pieces off Cape IIatteras instead.
