Health and strength carry us through
dangers, and make us safe in the pres
ence of peril. a perfectly strong man
with rich, pure blood, has nothing to fear
of germs. He may breathe in the bacilli Of
consumption with impunlty. II there is
a weak spot where the germs may find
an entrance to the tissues, then the troub-
lie begins. Disease germs propagate with
lightning-like rapidity. Once in the blood
the only way to get rid OF them is to kill
them. This is what DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical discovery is for. 1t purifies the
blood. That means that it kills the germ s,
but that is only part of what it does. 1t

Alb, those lovely plans where had
they gone? The kind old parents had
been foolish enough to furnish a room
in town for their boy, that he nigh,

that woman, and Immediately his
studies were dropped. At twenty-five
he had not even taken his licentiate's
degree. They were dreadfully disap.
pointed, after having built such fine
castles; still they did not give up all
hope. They consoled themselves,
saying: "He is so young! 1t will
pass. Let him alone awhile"
But one day the imbecile had the
audacity to inform them that he had
adored this girl, and was determined
to make her his wife. This was too
much. If Bourgueil did not fall with
n stroke of apoplexv it was a miracle
indeed; the veins in his neck were
swollen like cords. He ordered his
son out OF the house aad cut off his
income.
''If You dare to give your name TO
That woman," the old man roured,
crimson with wrath, "you need not
expect II o from either of us as long
as we live"
But the stubborn, ungrateful boy

1t seems clear that n pure spirit will
arise from the seed of a pure body,
and a loving spirit from the seed of IL
loving body. If the body We sorrow.
fully put aside has been one full of
charity, helpful, kindly, and eager to
speak tender, plying words-one that
has thought no evil, and has believed
all things, and hoped al; things, and
endured all things-can any one doubt
what should come of such IL seed plant
ing? The natural comes first, and
after that the spiritual. But "as is
the natural. SO is the spiritual" 1t is
far more glorious, but utter all-the
same!
So We may bring Easter, with its
wonderful deep meaning, into the life
of every day. How? BY teaching
ourselves to comprehend the truth
that while we live this human life, and
develop this natural body, it is not
alone the natural body We are Great
ing, bu. the seed Of the spiritual body
which is to come aite-.
This is not II mystical doctrine. All
those who in this life have attained
some knowledge of their spiritual mt
lures will testify to its truth. The
change from a natural to a spiritual
living is like the growing Of n plant
whose seed we have sown. The right
plant surely grows In n man who has
sown the right seed.
As the spiritual nature Of such n
man beains to develop, the purer,
higher elements in him grow stronger,
and one by one the baser sort die.
Hate dies, and revenge, and anger.
Cruelty dies, aud all unkindness. Mar
owness Of mind dies, aud contempt
for the frailties OF others.
The part that lives aud grows stronger
is love. Purity and truth and courage
are but parts Of love, and, as it grows
greater, by and by comes the sureness
OF knowledge, and faith itself is swal,
lowed up in frnltion.

EASrEK.E Egg LORE.
Curious Customs the Origin of Which

Curious Customs the Origin of Which
is Lost In Antiquity.
The distribution Of eggs at Easter
has descended to MS from the greatest
of the Chinese Spring festivals, iuau.
gurated more than seven hundred
years before the Christian era.
The custom was particularly popular
during the fifteenth and sixteenth
~centpries in Essland. "The Pope sent
Henry VIII. an Easter egg in silver
case.
In Russia it is common to exchange
<isits and eggs on Easter day. "
In Italy dishes OF eggs are sent to
the priests to be blessed, after which
they are carried home aud placed IN
the center of tho table.
In Spain and Germany the eggs are
not blessed, but they are highly col.
ored and are distributed among callers
to be eaten or taken away according
to the taste OF the individual.
The custom, in one form oranother,
exists among the Jews, Greeks, Turks
and Persians.
"Pnas" was the ancient name for
Easter, and the eggs were often called
''pace, "''pach" or ''paas' eggs.
In Scotland eggs aretaken to church
to be blessed. They are afterwards
distributed among the members of the
household and are either eaten or saved
as keepsakes.
The decoration OF ordinary eggs
originated in England. Gliding tho
shells was the first step. This was fol-
lowed by the addition of ribbons, pic.
lures aud various other devices 10
please the little folk.
These eggs were given aud received
with the familiar Easter greeting,
Christ is risen !" and tho answer,
"He is risen, indeed!"
Germans first introduced games into
the Easter celebration. Eggs were
hidden about the lawn or grounds or
in the house. Then the children
hunted for them, the finder of tho
greatest number receiving n prize.
Sometimes the eggs were all put in
one nest over which n rabbit WAS
placed on guard. How this animal
became identified with Easter is no.
known. but in time the young children
began to believe that the colored eggs
were laid by tho RABBIT.
Egg racing is n ~favorite Amusement.
of Russian. German AMI French chill
dren. The eggs are rolled down hill.
and the prize goes to the boy whose
egg rolls the greatest number OF races
without damage to its shell.
This game is played by Washington
children in front of the White House
on Easter Monday.
In Germany there are tracks made
of twigs down which each egg may
roll without interference from any
other one. Tho boy whose egg arrives
unbroken Mt the foot OF the hill col.
lects ''toll" of his opponent whose

Another game is played by two boys

A Young widow in France whose
husband left her all his property on
condition that she should forfeit the
whole, except dover, if she married
again, was inclined to co~ntract.a new
marriage. and prudently went to the
local court to see if there were any
escape. 1t upheld the will, but. a
higher court to which the question
was taken then reversed tho decision
on novel grounds. The judges there
said that celibacv, being contrary to
nature. was something which no ma n,
alive or dead, had a right to impose,
and that such IN act, particularly in a
country like France, where tine popu-
latlon is stationary or waning, was
contrary to public policy. Upon this
the widow married. but il seems she
vas too husty after all, for relatives
carried the case up TO the supreme
court, which ungaIlantly renfirmed
the Original opinion. This French
decision agrees with the law in this
country, and, We believe, in England.
Conditions in restraint Of marriage
arc generally held to be void. but
there are exceptions to the rule, and
one Of these exceptions is in the case
OF n second marriage.
