A Joyous EASTER DAY
The Lenten Season Succeeded by
Glad Songs of Praise.
NATURES Gnrb of Brown Gives Place

RninboHs in the Annual Promcn-

Easter was bright with sunshine that
poured down from skies of silver and gold
Church bells cleared the winter rust from
their iron throats and pealed glad songs
Hyacinth and tulip, violet and lily. crocus
and jonquil came from their graves be-
meath dead leaves and moss to Illustrate
the story of the resurrection. Some ma
faintest, newest, green, and poplars draped
themselves with pendent buds.
Early fruit trees put on crowns OF pink
and white, and little brooks, freed from
their bonds of ice, ran merrily though
fields in which spring green is crowding
out December brown and grey. Myrtle.
anemones, and arbutUs showed themselvce
in the woods. through which chill winds,
with bare branches for 4 harp have been
playing weird tunes. All the world seemed
happy.
Millinery rainbows danced about the city.
Troops of children and legions of girls clad
in all the colors that might be wrought by
dyer's fancy. lighted up the sombre grey
of asphalt and the dull red of bricks. But
it was the usual Easter promenade. The
main thorOughfares were thronged and the
parks were thickly peopled.
AT Arlington hundreds of men and women
strolled among the graves dropping flowers
here and there. Hundreds more idly read
inscriptions on the tombs. Gay throngs
passed and repassed through the Soldiers
Home Grounds and the yellow dust of all
the roads about the city was stirred by
many wheels and feet.
Within the churches lilies, aZaleas, and
palm branches adorned the affairs, and
chancels were brilliant with the rays of
myriad candles. Priests were robed in
their most splendid vestments of white
and gold. Acolytes were radiant in sur
plices OF red and lace. Worshipers filled
the pews and thronged the aisles in new
and bright costumes. Chant, music, and
sermon were joyous with the Easter
theme.
Festal Easter replaced the long Lenten
fast. "Al!eluia' succeeded the "Miserere."
The joy of the resurrection. the promise
of life everlasting. followed the mourning
and solemnity Of Holy Week, and the
penitential period of the passion. In every
church the one theme was preached,
Christ is risen" Worshipers listened to
tLe story of the resurrection and learned
anew the portent of this greatest miracle
of Christian theology.

III l. HEALTH HABIT


just nv Easy to Form ms Any other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits. but they are unconsciously acquired
and grow as we grow. and by the time We
learn they are hurting us, We find them too
strong to be easily broken.
Then. why not form a good habit a habit
which will counterfeit the many bad ones.
in other words contract the questionable
habit of being always well
The best health habit to get into Is to
have and keep vigorous stomach; II you
have a healthy digestion you can drink
your beloved coffee, smoke your favorite
brand of tobacco, with little or no harm:
the mischief begins when these things are
forced upon the faithful stomach, with
out any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive which
will relieve the stomach of so much extra
work.
Nature furnishes us with such digestives
and when they are combined in such
pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, they give the overworked stomach
just the necessary assistance to secure
perfect digestion without any OF the harm
full effects of cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary to the
weak stomach as food itself. and indeed to
Sc INT pCHSht mum iOou cdttu. IoluluS
better and certainly nothing safer can be
used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tablets
as essential in the house as knives and
forks.
They consist entirely of natural digestive
principles without the effect or character
istics of drugs; they. have no cathartic
action, but simply go to work on the food
eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail and then invest
fifty cents in a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see if your digestion for the
next month is not vastly improved
Ask the clerk in any drug store the name
of the mcSt successful and popular stomach
remedy and he will say "Stuart's."

IS little town called Mortified. in nv
State, which is the worst place for a thirsty

OF Montpelier, Vt, at the National last
night The good folk who dominate the
place last year passed a law establishing
a lone liquor agency to be supervised by
the town and with a proviso that the name
of every purchaser of any kind OF wet
goods be registered in a book and published
in the local paper once in every month
After the first list of purchasers had been
published there was a great uproar. as
many of the best people in town and some
church members were among the lot who
could not do without liquor Since then
the list has been growing smaller and
smaller and today | don't think there are
fifteen names each month. The town OIL
Gals believe that they have discovered the
only effectual way in which to do away
with local liquor traffic and are happy over
the results"

it. What he discovered led him to go to
the fortunate owner of the disputed patent
and show his hand. Instead of going to

ter quiet and draw up an agreement, which
should be published far and wide. In which
he contracted to pay a royalty from then
on, ii being understood that there was to
be no royalty, but that the agreement was
to be used as big bluff to keep the rest
of the trade from making any inquiries on

New York Sun.


Patents and gold mines resemble each
other very much in one respect: there are
no infallible signs by which one may rec
ognize the bonanzas. No matter what the
prospectors and assayers may say, the
mine must be worked before its value can
be known. No matter what your theories
may be, nothing but the worlds market can
determine the value of patent. Some of
the most promising inventions have failed
from some very simple but unforeseen
cause. For example. take the case of the
man who invented a telephone system by
which 1t was possible to hold compunica-
ton with ships at sea without any direct
connection with the shore itself. A vessel
might be passing Fire island. ten miles out
at sea. and man on shore could talk to
the captain through an ordinary telephone
transmitter. just as IL he had been con-
nected by the central office in the ordinary
way on shore. Why was not this invention
worth millions? Simply because there was
no way the man on the shore could ring
up the man on the ship II he happened to
be listening. with the receiver at his ear.
he could hear and talk to the man the

The Coming Total Eclipse Of the Sun.
Prof. r. H. Bigelow. in Popular Science
MONTHLY


The circumstance which renders the
coming total eclipse of the SUM- on May Is.
1900 of special significance to thousands of
people who might otherwise entirely over
look the occasion Is the fact that the path
of the moons shadow over the surface Of
the earth. or the track of the eclipse, is in
such a convenient locality-namely. In our
Southern States-as 10 render the places OF
visibility easily accessible Instead OF being
obliged to go to the ends of the earth. at a
heavy expenditure of time and money, all
the while running the risk Of not seeing
the eclipsed sun on account of prevailing
cloudiness, we are fortunate. this time. to
have the show at home in our country.
While many foreigners viii be induced to
come to the United States to make OBJ
servations. IL is certain that more people
will be in a position to see this eclipse with
a minimum amount of trouble than has
ever happened before In the history of
eclipses. at least since the telescope was
invented and careful records of the phe-
nomenon preserved.
