An Easter Scramble.

Easter Monday is the great carnival
of the year at Hallaton. England. Then
the Unreasonable and bottle-kicking
take place. In remote times. says the
author of "Old English Customs" a
piece of land was bequeathed to the
rector, on condition that he and his
successors should provide annually
two hare-pies. a quantity of ale and
two dozen penny loaves to be scram-
bled for on Easter Monday at the rls-
ing ground called Hare-pie Bank. a
quarter of mile south of the village.
Usually pies of mutton, veal and bacon
are substituted for the hare
The procession is headed by two
men, who carry two sacks containing
the pies. After them come three men
abreast, each bearing aloft a bottle.
Two of these are filed with beer; they
are wooden bottles, iron-hooped, with
a hole from which to drink. The third
bottle is dummy, and, of course, emp
ty. Occasionally a hare is carried in
a sitting posture, mounted on the top
of a pole.
The procession increases greatly in
numbers as it approaches. Hare-pin
Bank, where the pies, which are al
ready cut up, are pitched out OF the
sack and scrambled for. The specta-
tors amuse themselves by throwing the
contents of the pies at each other.
Then follows the Hallaton bottle-kick-
ing.
One of the large bottles containing
ale is thrown into the circular hollow
on the mound, and the melbourne
men" try to wrest it from the Halla-
tonian grasp. A fierce contest then en-
sues. in comparison with which a foot
ball scrimmage is mere child's play.
The Hallatonians strive to kick the
bottle to their boundary-lire over the
brook adjoining the village, while their
opponents endeavor to convey it to-
ward the Melbourne boundary. The
victors of course claim the contents OF
the bottle.
The dummy" is then fought for with
undated zest, for the Hallaton people
boast that this has never been wrested
from them. The third bottle is tak.n
in triumph to the market-crols, and
its contents drunk with accustomed
honors. The bottles are carefully kept.
and those now "a use have done duty
for more than thirty years.

BREAD, POTATOES and MILK.
A Dyspeptics daily diet.

Dyspepsia Is one Of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
II in more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful TO the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness. what the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
IS the toniug up of the entire system. For
tify the system and il will do its own fight
ing, and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success of DIR. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla in curing indigestion and dyspep-
STA is due to just this quality which IL
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings II up to the level of
the strong food fit for men. 1t does this
by Strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. what
DIR, Ayers Sarsaps rilla will do for dyspep-
STA is best illustrated in cases like that Of

he, and sure enough pure white egg
lay among the fifty gaily-colored ones
like lily in a pansy-bed.
What a surprise for everybody! How
did the egg get among its bright COM
panions?
Could any boy have brought it in

An Easter Song.

Every face is beaming,
Every step is light,
All the world is beautiful
From merry morn till night.
The little streams are dancing
And flashing, Just for fun,
And joyfully to meet the sea,
The mighty rivers run.
And twice ten thousand flowers,
And twice ten thousand more,
Are waking in the lonesome woods
And by the cottage door.
To count the Easter lilies
Is more than you or
Can hope to do the long day through
How hard soccer we try.
Every face is beaming,
Every step is light,
For DER the threshold Easter slipped
At waning of the night,
And little birds are singing
Like mad for Joy of life,
And all the hours, in sun and showers
With trimming JOY are rife.
Uplift the songs of Easter,
Let none today be still,
When this great world is like a cup
That flowers overfill,
When blossoms deck the orchard,
And boughs are pink and white,
And winds go by, like wings that fly
From merry morn till night.

cuddled in soft gray moss. When |

cackled with surprise to see the
creamy-brown of her egg-shells chang

No, it was fifty pairs of lively feet,
and fifty pairs of small hands that
hunted for the eggs and then brought
them to the messy nest, and this is
how it happened:
"Once upon a time" but not "long
ago." there was lady who wished that
all her little friends might have as
much fun hunting eggs as she had
when she was little girl.
But she had no barn, no haymow
not even one hen. In spite of this she
invited fifty small boys and girls at
Eastertime ito hunt eggs in my

The hoalthfulness of~hicycle riding for

Used in moderation it surely creates for

Used to excess, like any other pastime, iks
