WRONG EASTER OBSERVING
A Protest Against Bonnet Displays,
Flower Extravagances and
Reaction from Lent.

1t is a pity-O what a pity.-that the
observance of Easter should be asso-
ciated in so many minds with trivial
things-new bonnets and extravaganza
in flowers and release from the lrksome
restraint of Lent" Not that we OBJ
iect to the flowers or the bonnets, or a
reasonable gayety, in their place. But
if Easter be observed at all, it should be
because it means to the Christian heart
infinitely more than gayety, and fresh
attire, and churches decked with flowers.
To make it's observance justifiable it
should be kept, and kept only, as a low
ing memorial of the risen Lord. Can
our hearts dwell deeply on that great
event and still be busy with taking
thought for raiment and the trivialities
of church adornment? Too much have
these small matters usurped the place
of true worship and holy joy. Too
much has worldly display driven out
the thought of Him who has risen from
the dead. the first fruits of those who
sleep. O men and women, think on
these things! Make this coming Easter
day a day of hallowed memories and
high resolves. Let it speak to you of
Him who died, yea, rather who Is risen
again, and who ever lives to make inter-
cession for you. Then it's observance
will be an uplifting influence. and
Easter will be to you a day of %gladness
of heart and renewal Of loyalty and
love.-N. Y. Examiner.

this drawn thread check is, by the way,
one of the specialites of the season. II

HOW THE BOY GOT THERE
The True Story Of One Boy Who Start
ed Out to Succeed, and Achieved
by Hard Work.

Sometimes boys wonder how they
can get q start in the world. Hero is a
true story of how one boy began.
A neighbor had a lot Of cows to
milk. This boy hurried around and
MIXED his part Of the home dairy,
then he skipped down to the neighbor's
and MIXED five or six more cows,
every night and morning. For this
he received a penny for each cow.
These pennies he put away in his
bank. What was his bank: Just an
empty matchbox. How many time;
a day iid he get that box down and
figure up his account? don't know:
try it yourself and see.
He added to this little store by sell
ing nice mellow apples on a train that
stopped neal his home a few minutes
every evening. The pennies he made
this way went also into the bank.
When the boy had $40 he bought a
pair OF boots, a geography and some
other school books, and went at it to
learn all he could that winter. This

The bank got full ard he grew strong
enough to work and earn more than it
would hold. He kept pegging away.
working summers and going to school
winters, till he had a good education.
Then he went out and bought a farm
of his own.
Someway the habits he had formed
of saving. helped him all the way
along. He did not lay his books up on
the shelf and forget all about them.
He worked away all by himself. He
was just ready to get his education
when he left the school.
Folks found out what was in that
young man. They made him go to the
state legislature and do a lot of other
work for them. But he was always
glad to get back to the farm. and he
is there to-day.-Farm Journal.

THE TIGER OR THE COBRA
Thrilling Experience of an English
Officer in the Jungles
of India.

An officer of the Seventeenth Lancers,
who was out shooting in India, was
waiting at the mouth of a gully which
was being beaten for a tiger. The tiger
jumped from the jungle into a clear
space about 40 yards in front of him.
He fired and missed. The tiger made a
leap toward him and landed. He fired
again, and the brute fell over killed.
His friends, who were amazed at his
first miss, understood when they saw
him drop his gun instantly upon firing
the second shot and seize a snake which
had coiled over his arm. He had it by
the neck and struck it's head off with
his knife. 1t was a cobra, the deadliest
of the Hindostan reptiles. AS he had
raised his gun to fire the first shot he
had felt it around his leg, and he had
to choose between tiger and cobra, but
killed both.

A NEW MARBLE TRICK.
Way in Which You May Mystify Your
Friends and Provide a Lit
tie Entertainment.

This ingenious little trick may be
lone with a number of marbles OF the
same size.
Place several books upon a table so
that they form the angle with it shown
in the drawing. Lay a dozen marbles
in line in the angle, each touching the
other, and ask some n to hold a hat
at the edge of the table where the row
of books terminates.
Now tell the %onlookers that you are
able to detach any number of the mar

drop them in the hat without touching

than the average society girl, whose
manners, in this f~ree-and-easy age,
are often very bad; and that they are
not ~infrequently SO apparently anxious
to show that they are not hampered
by the old prunes-and-prism tradl-

1t has often been remarked that one
prime cause of marital infelicity Is
that husbands and wives in the con-
slant association of daily life are apt
to cease those little amenities when
with each other alone, which they are
s%crupulous in maintaining toward out
siders. The same thing may be true
regarding the intercourse OF teachers
with each other. Undue familiarity
of manner is easily fallen into. n
there is nothing. as the old proverp
truly tells us, which 20 soon breeds
contempt. There is a cordial and ap-
proachable dignity. which is still dig
nifty unmistaka5le and invincible.
This sort of dignity should be striven
after by every human being, especially
by those who are daily thrown with
each other. There is no distinction
nor high respect without it.
Now these structures may all be
false. 1t seems to some of us as
though they were too severe But

they have puzzled over the question for
a second, Of course, some one will give
you a number.
Say the given number is four EX-
tract from your pocket four marbles the
same size as the others. Lay them
in line at about six inches from the
group of u. Then suddenly roll them
along the angle until they strike the
first group. The spectators will be
astonished to see four marbles fly Oft
the end of the large group and drop
into the hat.
They will probably test this trick
several times by calling cut different
numbers, but for every number called
use the same number of extra marbles to
roll with, and the trick wifl succeed
every time.-Good Literature.

Sorry Beforehand.

To be sorry for a wrong act after the
consequences have hurt us is common
enough in this law-breaking life of
ours. To think of the consequences
first, and to see the sin Is it is, when
one is tempted to evil. is by no means
the common frame of mind. Yet The
Christlike, the childlike, a have this
saving foresight. Said a romping lit
tie fellow to his father: Sometimes
I say I will hit brother, and then l
don't, because | am sorry before do
it," If some Of us who are older could
remember in good season to think
sometimes as that little child
thought, how much after-sorrow would
be prevented!-S. s. Times

A SIMPLE PRAYER

Ny life-bark swings on the billow
That rides Ger a boundless sea,
And the sea gull rocks on the pillow
That is only for him and me.
My vessel is drifting, drifting.
To a land that is dim and gray,
Ger a tide that is shifting, shifting,
But aye to myself say:
Hope for the long tomorrow;
Strength for the brief to-day;
Faith to guide Ger the waters wide,
And love in my heart Away.
/ know not the final haven,
Nor whittier the journey tends.
And my soul at times is craven
When the storm-wraith raves and rends
Then a whisper comes to cheer me-;
Peace! for the winds obey
The One who is ever near thee
And again to myself say:
Hope for the long tomorrow;
Strength for the brief to-day;
Faith to guide DER the waters wide.
And love in my heart Away.
It's a simple refrain only,
U~nknowing the school mans lore,
Yet Still when my heart is lonely
1t haunteth me more and more;
Till | turn to the One who heeds US,
Where He sits in the blue divine,
And tenderiy guides and leads US,
And He knows that the prayer is mine
Hope for the long tomorrow;
Strength for the brief to-day;
Faith to guide Ger the waters wide,
And love in my heart Away.

EASTER.
The Season Ought to Draw Us Nearer

Easter means so much to some peo-

seem as if this beautiful Easter sea-

and make us more willing, more ready

appreciative of the glorious resurrec-

all who love God, and honor and obey
Him.
