What MT. John F. Wyman Says of
 Puritana.

What MT. John F. Wyman Says of
 Puritana.
 The duties of his law practice make MT. John P. Wyman an exceedingly busy man, and yet, when asked by an ac- quaintance what he knew about Puritana, he took time briefly to recount his ex- perience. MT. Wyman writes:
 s l have long been subject to severe headaches and to other symptoms which seemed to indicate nervous affection of the stomach. Some weeks ago it occurred to me that there might be virtue in Puritana, which was informed was the formula of Prof. Dixi Crosby of Darth- mouth College As it gave evidence of being thoroughly good preparation, and as there was chance that it might bring me the relief which earnestly desired, I tried it to the extent of several bottles.
 l" am not enough of medical man technically to diagnose my own case, or absolutely to measure the benefit derived
 
 from the use of Puritana, but know, as a fact, that after had been using Puri- tana, I had better appetite, better nights sleep, and, practically, freedom from headaches, which had previously caused me much suffering.
 ssThe result is that feel sure the credit can fairly be given to Puritana, and, while I am not licensed to prescribe any medicine, I am willing, on the basis of my own experience, to express the opinion that Puritana is an important remedy for troubles of the stomach and nerves. r

SCHUETZENVER TO SECEDE.
 The Springfield Schuetzenverein will probably withdraw from the New Eng land schuetzenbund and endeavor to form another bund, the principal cities in which would be Boston, Worcester, Hartford and Springfield. The New England schuetzenbund comprises Springfield, Hartford, New Haven, New Britain, Meriden and Ansonia. Bridgeport was formerly member. The Springfield Republican says: There is no concealing the fact that the local SchuetZenverein is dissatisfied with the New England schuetzenbund. Springfield is the only Massachusetts city in the bund and, it is claimed. has been imposed upon in various ways. 1 The matter will be discussed at the next meeting of the Schuetzenyerein early next month.

FALL WEATHER DANGERS. Much Sickness Expected by the
 Authorities. Puritana Recommended for the Public Health.

A long season of hot weather has used up the strength and pulled down the flesh of many people Their stomachs have become week nd'tiaccid,
 This is noticed especially in the case of children whose digestions seem to be par alyzed by the first cold wave. But it is also true of grown people, who are sur prised that the cool days of approaching fall make them feel worse, instead of better. They havs increased appetites perhaps, but their eneryated digestive organs are unable to properly assimilate their food.
 The time is coming for cold nights and mornings and warm moons. The clothing that is needed for the proper protection of the vital organs in the early morning becomes burdensome in the middle of the day. It is the season of drafts and sud- den changes, which find the system but poorly prepared to stand such strains.
 Many deaths will result in this season, but the chief effect will be in the general loss of public health until the people in the community have been enabled to ad- just themselves to the new climatic con ditions.
 All doctors agree that great care is needed both in food and clothing. Un- necessary exposure should be avoided, and especially should the stomach be given every possible assistance in its important functions If the stomach is toned up and invigorated, if the liver and kidneys are kept in good working order, the whole machinery of life is given strength and renewed energy. The stomach is the power producer of the human body, and 92 per cent. of all sickness comes from it's failure to do it's proper work.
 Physicians, chemists and practical druggists who have administered and in- vestigated Puritana, the prize-formula of Dr. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College, have publicly and privately stated that it is the one safe and effective stomach rem

EASTER.

Out from the jeweled east aglow
Comes now to end the days forlorn,
Past ebbing fields of ice and snow,
The never failing Easter morn.
The sky is filled with portents dear,
And carols of the birds are meet;
The blackened fringe Of yester year
By lily cups and blossoms sweet
Is brushed aside; the north wind fees,
And over hill and dale and glen
The rosy boughs Of bourgeoning trees
In the spring sunshine CLEAN again.
The sparrow pipes his fiuted song
To call the pink anemone,
And the loosed runnel leaps along
With joy to greet the sounding sea.
So 10 a world Of weary care
The Masters crown of lilies white
Comes to eliminate despair
And put the promised life in sight.
With hints of that far Syrian sky
Under whose blue life's hope was
born,
Fast as the circling ages fly,
Returns the wondrous Easter morn.
Bring lilied wreaths and garlands
May faith abound and love increase,
And the TRANSPORTED earth declare
Millenial joys and endless peacei

THE RENEFIT OF A COLLEGE
EDUCATION. .

President Thwing of the Western
Reserve university has gathered ex-
pressions from large numbers of col
lege-hred men as to the benefit they
received from their college course.
Their answers are various to the ques.
ton, What is the best thing your col
lege did for you?" President Dwight
says it made him a man of thoughtful
life" President Gilman said it gave
him training" DR.. Brooks says it
educated him" One famous editor
says he found out how to study, how
to gather information, how to treat it,
how to think" Senator Hoar says it
gave MIN actual learning and moral
and mental discipline" President
Andrews says it gave him ''the ability
to work at any given time, whether
with body or mind" and he counts
this power of hard work among the
very best results of a liberal educa-
ton" DR.. Storrs thinks he got the
most benefit from the fine minds of his
classmates. And so on through long
list of names eminent in scholarship.
Broader opportunities, deeper SYM
pathies," higher mental discipline
right methods of work" intellectual
stimulus" opportunity of contact
with men of wide culture and high at
tainments, giving one the power over
his own faculties, giving one system
attic methods in all things" giving
one opportunity to study men and their
ways of thinking these are among
the benefits the men and women Of ripe
experience and established fame speak
of as derived from their college life.
All acknowledge the superiority Of
modern methods of study. The uni
versity and college have vastly i'm
proved over those of forty years ago.
The methods of research, the thorough
instruction in sciences once thought
beneath the dignity of a university
course, are now deemed the more i'm
portant lines Of study.
But the real education is the deyel-
opment of ones own powers. All the
influences in a university tend toward
that. Only the student whose life is
aimless, whose ambition is to merely
pass" and who scruples not at
the means, go out from an institution
of learning with little or no benefit

RESURRECTION.

The moonbeams touched the cedars
tall
That stood by Jesus tomb.
All family, as the candles will
That light a spacious room;
While here and there a lonely star
Looked earthward through the
gloom.
A hush was on the darkened land,
A calm lay on the sea,
A silence fraught with meaning vague
OF miracles to be;
And loosed from midnighGs failing
grasp
The wandering winds went free.
And when the rock-bound sepulchre
In darkness stood alone,
With trace of moon and waning star
Across its outlines thrown,
Nor door was seen but in it's stead
A rough-hewn, mighty stone.
But when the dawn-burst filled the
skies
And night was changed to day,
A flash of mystic wings was seen
Within the morning gray,
The angel messenger who came
And rolled the stone away.
