grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
II reasonable care is used. however,

Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn Of II single

certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. 1t will cure cold or an at

life Is our garden and we are always
trying to plant it with flowers. We
build our house; we buy costly orna-
ments and furniture and cherish our
families. What is this but planting
u garden that we may enjoy our
selves?
But every garden has its grave in
it. Perhaps we do not see 1T or think
Of it. The blight of bankruptcy NAV
come next door but we say II shall
never be moyed;' the frost of disap-
pointment has killed my neighbor's $
roses but my conservatory is secure.
There is our little child just budding
and our fair daughter blooming
into womanhood. Do. not speak to
us of winters snow-we are looking
at spring and summer flowers; do
MT talk to us of commercial failure
the money is growing in our gar
den. But suddenly we stumble upon
grave and then we see nothing but
IL wilderness. We cry 'where are my
flowers" My son or my daughter,
the fairest flower, is cut off. My hap
piness is blasted forever.
Let us at this holy season look
carefully into our gardens and, if
need be, remodel them-lay them out
in such way that all our flowers
may be planted around the sepulchre
of Jesus. When our loved ones are
taken from lis and the shadow falls
across our garden let us remember
that in Christ they are safe. When
sinful feelings rise within us let us
bury them in the holy sepulchre and
seal the stone with the signet of re-
pentance, and'at last the Easter tide
will come, the sepulchre will open
and our joy will be full. We shall
rise to that land where there is no
sepulchre and where all tears are
wiped away forever.

SMUGGLERs' TRICKS.
New Pier Rule Of Custom House
Puts Them to Their Wits End.
Some of the Latest Dodges Tried By
Sehsners to Cheat the Govern
Aent Out Of Duties-sharD-
ness of the OMoials.

The new rule excluding the friends
of passengers from those parts of
steamship piers which are required
for the examination of baggage IL
defended by the custom house in
spectors as lessening the opportunity
for smuggling. and in connection
with this many good stories are told
of ingenious attempts to rob Uncle
Sam of his duties. says the New York
Mail md Express.
Among others the case is cited of
Albert E. Emanuel, who, on August
of last year, was met at the North
German Lloyd pier by a woman rep
resenting herself to be his wife.
While his baggage was beisR exam
incd Inspector Timothy Donohue saw
him put a bracelet on the woman's
wrist. Donohue demonstrated and
the two were detained. 1t was hot
day, and Emanuel had his handker-
chief in his hand. He said to the
woman: you're perspiring. Here,
wipe your facet" at the same time
handing her his handkerchief. If the
couple had not been under surveil-
lance 1t is probable that the action
would have excited no suspicion, as 1t
was done quite naturally. Donohue,
however. was watching them, and he
reached out and snatched the hand
kerchief, remarking: "I'm rather
warm myself" Pinned to corner of
the handkerchief was diamond
brooch valued at about $1,000. The
man was arrested, tried and convict
pA a hoI 10 - L.
brought in only lot of stationery,
on which he paid s47.7o duty.
Down at the barge office they tell
OF smuggler who was met upon his
arrival last summer by a crowd of 10
relatives, who formed a solid wall
around him and his baggage. While
the inspectors were busy elsewhere
he passed around the circle of his
kindred everything Of value which
the trunks contained. They hid the
laces under their coats and put on
the jewelry.
1t was not many months ago that a
wealthy Detroit clothing merchant,
while waiting for his baggage to be
examined, was detected passing val-t
liable diamond ring to woman who
had met him at the pier. 1t was the
only thing he was trying to smuggle,
and he had purchased it for the wom-
an, but it was fragrant attempt to
defraud the government, and the
merchant had to pay fine. besides
losing the ring.
A few years ago passenger was
met most effusively by his brother-in-
law, who clasped him in his arms and
kissed him. After greetings had been
exchanged and inquiries made regard
ing the health of the various MEM
bers of the family, the brother-in-law
started to leave the pier. This ex-
cited the suspicion of an inspector,
who asked in surprise why he must
go so soon.
Il have another engagement" said
the man, nervously. II cannot wait
for the trunks to be examined"
He was compelled to wait. A
search of his pockets brought to
light pair of diamond earrings val.
ued at $3.50.

METHODIST CHURCH.

The concert given in the evening
by the choir of the NJ. +. church was
largely attended. The choruses,
solos, etc, were executed in an able
manner. Robert Mulgrew, promi-
nent singer of N. Y. city gave two
solos. The entire program showed
that much rehearsing had been done
to enable the singers to make every
thing pass off so smoothly.
ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
AT the Episcopal church in the
morning in addition to the usual seI-
vice, J. w. Rigby rendered a soloen-
titled, 1.-The Holy City" in an excel

held at 4 p. m., at which Mrs. San

followed was Il splendid one and the
words We're especially comforting and
appropriate to the occasion.

A scpulchre in garden is n strange

the other Mary were sitting near the
tomb. They were watching Mt the

human nature and thinking of the

to embalm with spices and with
tears. What thoughts they must
have had? What doubts and fears?

That garden was doubtless fair
spot bright with Easter blossoms but
they saw no flowers therein because
they could not see their Lord. They
were mistaken in that sorrow. A
better flower than any in that garden
was buried in that sepulchre-the
'Rose of Sharon" was there. Though
their minds rnisgave, their womanly
instinct made them hope and so they
waited on. At last the risen Lord
appeared to them and their hearts
were filed with joy.

HOUR GLASSES FOR CHILDREN

How Ingenious Mother Kept Her Oar.
Iings at Work.
A clever mother recently gave hour
glasses to her three children. They
were timed to run out at the end OF
an hour, half hour and fifteen min
utes respectively. The little girl who
before had dawdled through her piano
practice, after watching the sands OF
time run out so visibly in her hour
glass, at once brought new zest to
her practice. The boys would there
after time themselves on their evening
"chores,'' and hurry back to see IT
they had been beaten by old Time, as
symbolized by the hour glass.
It was very good way of teaching
them the value and economy of time.
If the experiment is tried, however,
mothers must be careful not to allow
their children to carry it to excess at
first, and so grow weary OF it as OF
WORKOUT toy.
