twenty years 1 never knew what 1t was
to have good health. Every physician
consulted said had liver trouble but

numbness and lack of circulation. Had

distorted figures. The kidney secre-
tions were annoyingly irregular and
was tortured with thirst and always
bloated. fused seven boxes OF Doan's
Kidney Pills. The bloating subsidized

Enthusiasm is 4 good thing. Il Is
Indeed beautiful to come into the pres
ence of, person who is filled with am
bition and interest in some pursuit or.
study. The flushed check and dilated
eye, restless movement and eloquent
gesture, all betoken that liveliness of
feeling and full heart-beats Of red blood
20 interesting to witness. The most
sleepy and Indifferent listener cannot
TAIL to catch some Of the life that ema-
mates from such person.
And yet, says Medical Talk for tho
Home, how often 1t happens that tho
most splendid enthusiasm Is wasted on
Impractical and futile enterprises. 1t is
really pitiable to come in contact with
people whose ambition and enthusiasm
know no bounds and yet are misdirected.
Good digestion, splendid constitution.
indefatigable workers, up and at it every
day. Optimistic, imagining themselves
just on the verge Of some splendid
achievement. Vociferating, talking.
beaming with complacency, flushed with
exercise, filled with joyful expectation
and yet the whole thing delusion that
does not present q single hope OF real
ization.
1t is with a mixture of contradicting
feelings that we witness the antics OF
such person. 1t would be rs cruel to
laugh as it would be ridiculous to cry.
The world is full Of such rafting.
roisterous fellows. Remnants OF their
shipwrecked barks lie scattered every
where. Nothing but death can still
their incessant vigilance, and the only
real vacation they allow themselves Is
when the undertaken comes to get the
remains. In passing through the world
they have given no heed to the details
Of life, to the real beauties about them
everywhere, but with haggard anxiety
they have never once taken their eye
from the will O. the wisp that has led
them such a ceaseless and irresistible
chase.
The world is full Of them. With~all
their faults we love them still. There
Is wholesome breeze in their presence.
Their beaming expectancy is contagious.
It Is cold-hearted man indeed who does
not feel better for having come into
their presence. And yet the futillty of
all, the sure disappointment that
awaits them, the unavoidable calamity
that lies just before them The end
of such career is always mOurnful
ragedy.
Blame them, we cannot Contempt is
impossible. One must either laugh or
cry. 1t is impossible to suppress emo
ton. Which would be the most APP
propriate, to laugh or to cry? Which
shall We look upon, the ridiculous or the
pathetic side of such a performance?

to melody? No more could she sing with
a heart that throbbed only to pain.
A ray of spring sunshine crept in
between the folds of the window cur
tain. She arose and drew the shade.
Agnes Norwood had once been a
part of that world of brightness and
beauty to which she seemed to belong;
but her Gethsemane had come at the
supreme hour of her life-at a time
when she was radiantly happy-and
its dark shadows had wrapped them
selves so closely about her that
she had not since been able to pene-
trate their gloom. 1t was in May that
she had promised to be Arthur Came
ron's wife. Before the June roses were
gone death had claimed him. There
had been a short illness, a sudden
alarm, and then the end. The brilliant
young life had gone out.
When Agnes strove to recall what
had taken place in those awful days
of darkness and hopelessness she had
a confused sense Of the solemn hush,
the sorrowful faces, and kind voice
that tried to point her to the 'stars
shining through the cypress trees"
The only reality was the great wave
of desolation that had settled down into
her heart when that which represented
all that life had for her was carried out
of her sight.
Since then the days had come and
gone alike, as one long painful dream.
In vainhad the anxious parents and SYM
pathetic friends tried every expedient
to waken within her the old passion
for music. In those other days Agnes
sweet voice had thrilled large audiences
The congregation ofthe First church had
not forgotten the Easter solo Of last
year. They we're eager to secure the
same singer for the coming Easter. But
Agnes refused to see any one, and in an
swer to all entreating letters on the SUBJ
feet wrote a firm refusal--it was impos-
sible for her to sing.
When the church bells rang on Easter
morning there was no music in the
chimes to the heavy hearted girl. Their
notes Jared upon her sorrow. The per-
lume Of the Easter lilies in the sunny

Hunting Easter Eggs in Germany.

Hunting Easter Eggs in Germany.
Easter is very important day in Ger
many. 1t is looked forward to by the
children with almost as much pleasure
as Christmas After breakfast the hunt
ing for eggs begins and it generally takes
q long time to find them, for hares are
shy little creatures, and the nests are
always hidden away in the queerest
places.
The children usually find the eggs in
pretty baskets or boxes, and sometimes
they will come upon beautiful white
sugar hare, sitting on a messy nest filled
with colored eggs.-Union Signal.
