When Short Of Cash.

A country schoolmistresS had much
trouble with her pupils. and to avoid
it had her examples placed before them
in an explanatory or illustrative char
acter.
The effect was often unexpected. On
one occasion. in going over their usual
reading lesson, n line was chosen by
the lady on which to test the merits OF
the scholars.
The line read: And he was 4 man OF
unlimited credit in business"
''Now. John, can you tell me what is
meant by the word credit when used
as in this lesson.
Thus she addressed one of the STUN
bling blocks of the school.
Il dunno. marm,' said Johnny. look.

You don't know" said the mistress.
We'll. listen. Suppose your mother
was to be short of money at the end OF
the week and needed provisions. now
what would she do:'
She was satisfied that her illustration
was plain, and awaited the answer
which came this:
We'll, marm." replied Johnny, u

There was time not long ago when
the big woods" of Minnesota were
dotted here and there by hardwood
mills that were considerable source
of income. To-day most of these mills
are gone The great belt of timber in

The tall-building madness in New
York has reached such a pass that it is
said that every owner of land in the
Wall street district must either sell out,
start n tall structure or be without
rent. The supply of offices far exceeds
the demand. and suites with all the
modern conveniences can now be had
for less than was formerly paid for
dingy back rooms The fear among
real estate owners that before long the
height of buildings will be limited by
law has set them to piling up sky
scrapers before it is too late. 1t is said
that one architects office in New York
has now work on hand worth $10,000,-
600. aud 1t is calculated that the ex-
penditures for new buildings In New
York during 1897 will reach the sum of

THEKAvA-KAvA snruB and probably was
piper Nethysticum3 used for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
1t is a wonderful discovery, with rec
ord of 1900 hospital cures in so days. It
ncts directly upon the blood and kid
neys, and is true specific, just as qu:-
nine is il malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers cf the
gospel, we'll known doctors and business
men cured by Alkavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York HrekIy Hoy1d of Sept 10th,
the testimony of Rev. W. u. Moore. ID: D., OF
Washington ID. c. was given. describing his
years of suffering from Kidney disease ard
rheumatism and his rapid cure by Alkavis.
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Golden. Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks use Of Alkavis.
Rev. IolI1, H Watson, of Sunset. Texas, minister
of the gospel of thirty years service was struck
After lowering between life and death for two
months. and all his doctors having failed he
took Alkayis, and was eomplsteiy restored pred to
minister of the gospel. Mr.. r. c. Wood. prom
inent attorney of Lowell, Indiana. was cured Of
rheumatism. Kidney and Bladder disease of ten
years standing. by Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes
himself as being i'll constant misery, often COM
PEELED to rise ten times during the night on
account Of weakness OF the bladder. He was
treated by ell his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in
few weeks by Alkavis The testimony is un-
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James
Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried
six doctors in vain, that she was about to give
mp i'll despair, when sine found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
TO health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in the
various disorders peculiar to wonanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Con1
pany, No. 4Io Fourth. Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy. and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send free treatment
of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is Sufferer
from any form OF Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright's Disease, Rheuma-
tisnI, Drcpsy, Gravel, Pain in Back,

due to improper action of the Kidneys

Easter Awakening.

There are times when we are disheart-
ened rs regards the spiritual possibilities
of our community or our churches or our
selves. At such times God speaks TO us
by His great parable of Eastertide He
calls us to believe that life is mightier
than death. and that it never will cease
its miracles of renewal. He reminds us
that the Prince of Life was slain and rails
cd again from the dead; that He was
raised from the dead that we might bring
forth fruit unto God" although sharing
in that great uplift which His resurrec-
ton eXemplifies. The resurrection thus
strikes the note of hope for us and for
our brethren. Easter is the springtide
prophecy of the divine quickening. with
which the face of mankind shall be re-
newed into the image of God

EASTER.

Awake. the dawn is breaking
All radiant with hope.
Arise. its glow is reaching
To pagan lands remote.
Our morning star shines brightly
Cndimmed by earthly dross:
And the flower Of faith hath biossomed,
Meath the shadow of the cross.
Cycling years have only added
To the wealth of perfume sweet.
Which his followers devoutiy
Pour this morning at His feet.
And Its odor floating upward
Through the clear. pusating air.
Bears unto our risen Master,
All our words of praise and prayer.
He is risen. Christ is risen,
Chant until the vau!ted skies.
Gods own vast wind-swept cathedral,
Shall re-echo. "Ye shall rise,
Over sin and death victorious;
Every fear forever slain"
Christ is risen! Hailelujah.
We may rise. too, through His name.

ResurrectiOn Of Christ.

The resurrection of Christ is Il demon
stration of a future state after this life,
and pledge of a blessed Immortality in
another world. For our Lord 10y His res
direction from the dead hath conquered
death and abolished it. and brought life
and Immortality to light. The belief of
Il future state after this life should put
us upon the most earnest and vigorous en-
deavors to secure this happy condition TO
ourselves: if by any means. as the apostle
CXpresseth it. we may attain the resnrrcc-
ton of the dead. 1t should raise us above
the world and the lusts of it, above alI
the terrorS and temptations of it.

to the Romans and Gauls. who taught
their people TO look upon the egg rs a
symbol of divinity. The gift-giving of
eggs at Easter is an old custom 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 yernal life. The
Jewish people used the egg in the feast Of
the passover. and even the ancient Druids
performed their religious rites with cere-
monies Of egg-symbois.
But there is no country where eggs are
used more layishly than in America
where the President gives the children of
Washington the freedom of the White
House grounds on Easter Monday. and
thousands of them gather there in an egg
rolling contest. which is as democratic Il
festival as one could well magine, where
black and white, street arab and arsto-
crat. play side by side, matching eggs or
picking them; that is. cracking them
together ill one shell breaks the other
or both are cracked. and they become a
mass of crumpled shells. when the egg
part is soon scooped out and eaten with
much satisfaction. The eggs are all the
colors of the rainbow. and are brought in
baskets. in pockets, in hampers. and in
nets. a great many people in carriages
and on foot stop to look on. The custom
of rolling eggs down hill is IL very old one,
and is practiced in many parts of England.
