A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, April 17.-Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story of G. W..
Gray, who after special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up TO die with
Bright's Disease Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr.
Gray, there is remedy which Will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
II was helpless as a little babe. MY
wife and | searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that would
be able to find remedy After many
failures my wife insisted that should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. praise God
for the day when decided to do so.
for this remedy met every phase OF
my case and in short time | was
able to get out Of bed and after a few
weeks treatment was strong, well
man. Dodds Kidney Pills saved my
life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodds Kidney Pills are GER
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

HAIR STEALING NOT NEW.
piIferer of Woman's Charms at Work
Eighty Years Ago.

There was remarkable scene in
London police court on March Il,
eighty years ago, when a number Of
poor, excited women stood before the
magistrate arguing as to whom should
be the spokeswoman. At length one
was found willing to voice the griev-
ance. 1t appeared that barber nam
ed Rushton called at her poor abode,
and politely asked to look at her hair.
She took off her cap at his bidding,
and processing to fall in raptures with
the beauty of its color and texture, he
offered a guinea for it. Being in
Strengthened circumstances the offer
was accepted, and Rushton at once
cut off the whole of her hair and ran
away without making any payment.
1t transpired that all the other wo.
men in court had been similarly treat
ed on the same day. Efforts were
made to catch the hair thief, but
without uccess.-London Answers.

HONEST CONFESSION,
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are. no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and man
Iy confession of the fact.
A case in point is that of an emf
nent practitioner one of the good
old school, who lives in Texas. His
plain, unvarnished tale needs no

The Little Moravlans.

A beautiful old custom in the Mo.
ravian church, both in Europe and
America, Is to rise very early on East.
er morning and go to the Gods
Acre. Of the church, there to await the
rising sun. Gods Acre you know,
is a beautiful name for the cemetery,
which always used to be beside the
church. Here beside the long rows
and rows of the silent dead the people
children as well as adults watch
for the rising SUN, the emblem OF life
and of the resurrection. AS the sun
rises, flooding the sky with light and
the earth with warmth and gladness
the watchers greet II by singing some
Of the beautiful and curious old hymns
that are an especial Inheritance OF

Easter.

II there be one season when fine
weather is desired by the masses more
than another, that season must surely
be Eastertide. The fitful spring sun
shine has frightened many days since
March set in; but, for all that, it is
most unreasonable to depend upon the
weather from one day to another at
this time of the year. Seasonable
weather just now is popularity sup
posed to be succession of rain and
sunshine, usually accompanied by a
cutting east wind. April was called
Octer-monah-the month of the east
wind-and as our Easter Sunday falls
any time during the month succeed
ing the 21st Of March, we may be
pretty we'll sure that We shall have
the wind, whether it is tempered by
the welcome sun or not. 1t may in
terest my readers to know that 1t was
formerly a common belief that the sun
danced on Easter Day. Centuries ago
poet sang
"But oh! she dances sucn a way,
No sun upon an Easter Day
Is half so fine sight"
The Globe-republican., 1905-04-20

not indulge in this very popular
fragment of ignorance. The fact
that 1t may come as early as March %
or as late as April % adds to lay
doubts and wonder in this particular.
Above all gifts that are suitable to
the holiday which marks the coming
of springtime and which is emblem
attic of the resurrection of material
life, as well as spiritually significant,
flowers stand pre-eminent. And it is
the flowers, natural and artificial,
poisoning over everything that dis
tinguish the Easter display from that
Of the winter holidays.
There are Powered ribbons on the
smart Easter costume and the Easter
hat is a mass of gay blossoms. Bags
and boxes are overrun with flowers
Candies are made UP in floral forms.
There are flowers upon the cards and
pictures sent out to carry Easter greet
ings. Buds and blossoms decorate the
toys that will carry Joy to the hearts
of the children.
Easter eggs play an important part
in heather as well as Christian coun-
tries. Before the Christian era eggs
formed part of pagan worship, and
we're symbolic Of the awakening OF
nature after the long winter months.
After the coming of Christ they we're
retained as tokens by the early Chris
tians, and, though not worshiped in
that sense as the heathens did, eggs
were used in decorations in the
churches when the anniversary of
Christ's resurrection was celebrated.
The first Christian church in Egypt
adopted the egg Of the ostrich as sym
bolic Of faith, and the custom is still
observed in the east Before the high
altar, with Its six silver lamps, ostrich
eggs are suspended in the form of
wreath, some Of them without orna.
mentation and others containing the
most exquisite designs.
In the Orient ostrich eggs play an
important part as an article Of COM
merce, and the Sudan supplies hun.
dreds for the market. In the spring
of the year they are in great demand,
and artists are kept busy covering
them with beautiful designs. One of
these eggs Is in the Museum Of Art in
Detroit, and on its shell are engraved
representations of men and animals
similar to the recently discovered
works Of art In the old ruins near
Cairo.
In Japan similar custom prevails,
and the eggs of the Australian ostrich
are made use of by japanese artists
for representing all the weird imagin-
ings Of their versatile minds. Many OF
them are beautifully painted, but as
rule the natural blush hue OF the egg
is retained and the engraving thereon
shaded accordingly. Beautiful land
scapes are engraved on the shells, as
we'll as portraits and scenes Of daily
life In Japan.
In the countries bordering on the
northern coast Of Africa ostrich eggs
are also held sacred for purposes Of
worship. and they are regarded as Of
great value. They are crnamented in

the idea Of lesson in penitential
humility associates itself with the
now obsolete Good Friday custom of
washing the tomb of one Molly Crime
at Glentham in Lincolnshire, which
was aforetime regularly carried out,
but the association has its mercenary
aspect in the fact that neighboring
property was charged with the pay
ment of Is each to the washers. Tic
practice has been abandoned since
1882, and it is said that the appear.
ance of the tomb and the name Of the
occupant now present no incongruity.
That "hot-cross buns" should be
eaten on Good Friday is certainly not
statutory obligation, yet half the
civilized world feel 1t bounden duty
to include the bun in the menu for
that day. The Christian significance
of the cross is ample warrant for the
custom to many.

Ideas for Easter.

"Girls, roses, and pearls are all sis
ters," says the poet. Curlously enough,
all three lose their beauty as time
rolls on. A very pretty custom, which
had its origin about two years ago in
society circles, was for lovers to pre-
sent their fiancees on Easter Sunday
morning with pearls, set in some orna
ment or other, and dollhouse rose.
In many parts of Ireland Good Fri
day Eve is regarded as time Of pc
culiar danger. Good people are then
supposed to exercise their malicious
powers for the only time during the
year; and those possessing an EVIL
eye" are likewise supposed to be In
exceptionally good form for working
mischief. A nurse who ventures out
with child is considered monster,
and the girls who meet their lovers
that evening will never get married.

Dear Sir:--I take pleasure in drop
ping you few lines to let you know
how we are getting along up here and
how we like the place We have been
here close on to year now and think
the place is fine. We have been out
every day this winter working in the
bush getting out logs for buildings,
etc, getting rails for fencing. We
have not suffered with the cold as
much as we did in Chicago. My lit.
tie boys are out every day with their
sleighs having a good time. The low
est the temperature has been this
winter is "a below, and it is very still,
no wind
We had a splendid summer. We
put up about so tons of hay and will
have about 30 tons to sell. Hay
brings IS per ton now and will be
higher in the spring. We have 20
acres broke and ready for crop. We
worked on the Can. Nor. Ry. for
awhile this summer and am just 3
miles from the r. r. and town site.
The steel is all laid to within 2
miles of the river and we often see
the train bringing supplies for the
Bridge.
My wife's people are coming up
about May. | wish you would write
them and If there should be any one
coming to Prince Albert that could do
with half car let them know The
homesteads are all taken up within
IL miles of us. | often think II this
land were only in the States what a
rush there would be. It Is the rich

saw, and the climate is 0. X.
know that people back there that
write to do not believe me when l
write them what splendid winter
we are having. They think we are all
frozen up We have only about 8
inches of snow, and there are cattle
on the range that have not been
rounded up this winter. Day after day
the Their. raises up to so and so, and
i don't believe W. have had day

My wife says that we used to think
that zero was cold in Chicago. But

Quaint Superstitions.

The Easter superstitions were
many. The kings of England had d
custom of hallowing rings with cere-
Iaony, which were supposed to have
great efficacy against the cramp and
falling sickness. These were called
cramp. rings. There was a supersii.
tlous custom of putting out fires and
kindling them again on Easter eve.
In Ireland there were numerous su.
perstitions. The inhabitants even
to-day in some parts of that country
get up to see the sun rise on Easter
morning, or, as they said, to see it
dance, which they believed 1t did. 1t
was believed that if you abstained
from meat on Easter Sunday you
would escape fever for year..
There is an old superstitious proph.
ecy concerning Easter. 1t is:
when my Lord falls on my lady's
lap,
England beware Of some mishap,"
which means that when the festival
of Easter falls near Lady day March
25) that England is threatened with
some calamity. The earliest possible
day wherein Easter can happen, in
any year, is March %. 1t fell on that
day in 1918, and cannot happen on
that day again until 22S5. The latest
possible date for 1t to occur is April
rs. easter day is always the first
Sunday after the first full moon which
happens on or next after the 21st Of
March; but If the full moon happens
upon Sunday Easter day is the Sun
day following"

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM.
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by which Tia
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed. w

Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all Of them good, oncof
them specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures Of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor,
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to all acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time OH for period
Of more than three years he was con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds OF
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think ha
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap,
peared in every muscle Of my body. ]
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea.
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
tember, 1904. The story Of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could ba
more satisfactory.
"When I was on the third box," says
Mr.. Jones, ~ could realize a change for
the better. I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. I kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
I am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what I took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.
