An Ahsent-nIinded Wan.

There was man up IN Gorham,
saws a member of the South Pariy
George Washington club, who used to
keep pig IN his barn cellar and fe'i
him through spout from the floor
above. One day he remarked TO his
wife: ~ have to go down End see what
ais that pig; he doesn't eat at all late
w. Why, William b. Blankr replied
his wife, you killed that pig three
weeks ago L swan said he, so
did. I'd forgotten all about it. One
time a man came and paid him money
while he was milking. When he got
the milking done, he went TO put the
money away in drawer. He opened
the drawer and turned the whole pail
full of milk into it."-Leyviston Journal.

The Origin of Easter.

The English name Easter and the
German 0stern are most probably de-
rived from the name of the feast of the
feutonic goddess 0stra, which was
celebrated by the early Saxons in The
spring of the year. and which was sup
planted by the Christian feast. The
old word oster, which means rising,
adds significance TO the name, the time
OF the resurrection of nature being
an appropriate time TO commemorate
the resurrection of Christ. Ii is from
the heather feast. however. that the
customs of Easter fires. Easter eggs
and the like have their origin.

of people, IL would seem, do not take

the proportion of butter in the dry

THE SPANLSH ARMY IN CUBA.

A favorite disposition of the army by it's enemies is to speak of it as composed of boys, but that shows ignorance of war. It is never safe to despise boys in any capacity,
 least of all in armies. On the bat tlefield of Shiloh it was remarked of the dead when they were gathered for burial-it was true of the boys in blue and gray alike-that hardly one in three was a bearded man. The boys, in the true sense of the word, were in a great majority. The Spanish lads under arms in Cuba are sturdy, swarthy fellows, well fitted and equipped for the field, and many of them with kindly, friendly, humorous faces, and they trudge along we'll clothed and shod, with brown blankets rolled tightly and tied at the corners, swung over their shoulders; bags on their backs that seemed lighter than knapsaclIs, and equally serviceable, and their rifles and cartridges loading them heavily, but not more so than the Germans or French on march,
 The boys of whom l speak were fairly drilled, and though just land ed, had evidently been set up and put through their steps. They had the swing for long tramp. As a rule, the boys with the rifles were much younger than the officers, many of whom were stout.
 The Spanish army is not one to be despised, and however it may suffer from the ambuscades for which the tropical vegitation affords such emi- nent facilities, will make itself re- spected when they meet foes they can see. They cannot march as fast as raiders can ride, and will suffer from the overwhelming rains and deplorable roads, and sicken and die in thousands, but owing to the better understanding of sanitary precautions, the loss from exposure will not be so great as in former years. The marching to the front
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-04-08

of the young men of Spain was a mournful spectacle. There are dark-eyed mothers, sisters and sweethearts thinking of them far away, who will wait and hope and pray for them and their safe return until the closing scenes, when the roll of the unreturning is unrolled. 1 wish to speak with respect of the Spanish boys-poor fellows-the sons of poor parents-who never make the wars they fght-and l have seen the great armies of Ger many, France and America and ma ny of the troops of Italy and Eng land. -Murat Halstead in the April Review of Reviews.

wonder that the digestion of both gets out of order.
 Nature works as hard as she can, but there are some things she cannos stand. If a man gets some foreign substance into the works of his watch, he doesat expect the watch to run until the impeachment is re- moved. His own digestive system is a much more wonderful and delicate mechan. ism than that of his wasch, and yet he neg 1ects it and abuses it. He lets it get out of order, and refuses to help 1t. In the end his neglect reacts With terrible force upon himself. The reaction comes on gradually, however, so that sometimes he scarcely sus- poets the cause.
 The cause or nine-ten of the sickness of the world is constipation condition so common that four people out of five take 1t as matter of course. From this one cause come indigestion disorders of the stomach, liver and kidneys; biliousness, headaches, hatulence, heartburn, impurity of the blood and the serious complications that follow. To begin with, constipation is a little thing, and a little thing will cure it. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny, sugar coated granules.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
How Hetty Green Got Rich-The Story of
 Osman Digna.

.sThe way Hetty Green got her first millions. two or three at least, was by inheritance, said Mir. R. A. Chase of Boston at the Hotel Page. She has added a good many more millions to the original pile left by her father, the late Edward Mott Robinson. Robinson got his start in life up our way. He was New Bedford man and laid the founda- tion of his fortune by close attention to the whaling business. His boats made many a capture of these monsters ot the deep, and they turned to gold in the hands of Robinson. Afterward he went to New York and became one of the greatest traders on the seas of his day. He did not leave all his wealth to Mrs. Green internationally, but finally the bulk of the estate passed into her keep ing
 ..Mrs Green at one time did business with the well known New York bank ing house of John J. Cisco x Go. and deposited with them her cash, bonds, securities and other forms of money, running into big figures. One day she went to the bank to express her dlssat1s- faction with the way some matter of hers had been conducted. MT. Cisco, the head of the concern, argued the question with her in a temperate way, but her wrath was aroused, and she would not be appeased. Finally she stated her in- tention of withdrawing from the bank, then and there. every sumarkee that stood to her credit. She said it with emphasis and not in the way of one who merely puts forth bluff. Anyway Mr. Cisco took her seriously and told her it would give him pleasure tQ ac- commodate her, that she should. have every dollar that was hers on the spot, and straightway ordered an employee to get out Mrs. Green gold and silver coin, greenbacks, treasury notes, stocks and bonds and all other kinds of Iucre the lady possessed. The clerk was good while at it, but he at length piled $5,7 900, 900 or $6. 1000, 900 in front of the owner, who had been regarding the task without comment.
 There s your property, Mrs. Green, remarked the old banker; please re- move it.
 - T have changed my mind, and you can keep it.
 Excuse mo, madam, but we don't care for your patronage any longer. Please take your money away.
 "Old Cisco was deaf to all her plead ings to let the stuff stay. He was just us resolute as she had been wrathful, but he consented to let one of his men go out and buy trunk to pack the cash and other financial tokens in and then let the man accompany Mrs. Green and her trunk to another depository.
