EASTER.

Easter will be here this year before
spring is hardly started. It comes on
April End and 10 earlier than it has been
for the past Eve years. On last year IL
fell upon the 10th Of April, and in 1886
it came upon the 25th-the latest ii
ever comes. It will not arrive on the
25.h again until 1943. As the date Of
Easter is fixed by calculating the first
Sunday after the first full moon after
the 23rd of March, the festival can oc-
cur as early as March 23rd and has
done so. In 1888, 1916 and 1857 it
fell upon that date and in 1913 it will
be repeated. In 1896 Easter came
upon the 2sth Of March, which proved
to be the coolest and most inclement
day of the winter. .a ~.. I g., -.-

General Manager Underwood, Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has issued
the following general notice to station
agents and trainmen:
"Your especial attention is directed
to the treatment Of patrons by employees
of the company. Complaints have been
made from various sources OF discount
esy 10 freight and passenger patrons on
the part of our agents or their repre-
senratives at several OF our stations,
and also nattention OF conductors and
braKemen to properly care for the COM
fort Of passengers. There should be
no cause for such complaints. It is q
pant Of your duty to see that our pat
rons are tr, ated at all times with polite
ness aid courtesy, not only by yourself
but by employees under your charge.
One Of the valuable assets of q railroad
is uniform poiteness and
courtesi from all its employees 10 its
patrons, and this capital must not be |
encroached upon. 1t is proper for
you to understand that advancement
does not depend wholly on your eff |
,iency, but in other directions also, and
will be measured in great degree by |
he treatment accorded to patrons"

that wonderful Thu assnth chapter of
First Corinthisns, we forget that in
tie trinity of abiding graces, the great
apostle has placed hope between faith
and love.
Not SO the early Christians amid the
days of persecution. 1t was this hope
that nerved timid maidens and feeble

WHEN DOES THE CENTURY END,

The opening day Of the twentieth
century is still matter of inquiry. It
will not be January ls., 1900, but jan
uary 1st, 1901. 1t takes full loo
years, not ninety-nine, to complete the
century. The first decade did not end
with the close OF the year 8, but year
10, and the second decade began with
the year IL. The first century ended
with the close OF the year 100, and the
nineteenth century will end with the
close OF 1900, not with 1899. Anyone

IDLE FORTUNES.

Great Sums Of Money i'm Old Stamps
Awaiting the Finder.
ByH. Fiachskamm, st. Louis, Mo.
Few people know that many OF the old
stamps lying idle on letters and papers OF
by-gone days, In their old trunks and gar
rets, are worth large sums OF money Many
OF the readers OF this paper have locked away
somewhere old stamps that are worth from
ten 70 hundred dollars each, aud may be
readily turned to cash Handsome reward
has frequently met the hunter OF old stamps,
o case OF recent occurrence being that Of the
janitor OF the Louisville Ky. y Court House,
who received several thousand dollars for
stamps found among waste paper, which had
been consigned to the scrap basket to be
burHed.
The price once obtained for single Con-
federate stamp was enough to keep family
in comfort for o year. This stamp was found
by q lady In Jeffersonville, Ca, and was
mailed from Macon, Ca, in 1851: 1t was
purchased and then resold in st. Louis, In
