Dangerous Kidney Diseases
Cured.

TAy HEN the kidneys become affect
w ed by catarrh, either from colds,
over work, or an extension of
catarrn from some other organ, they
fail to perform their normal functions
1t is the work of the kidneys to ex-
crete from the blood many of the poi
sons which accumulate in the body.
If the kidneys fail in their work the
poisons accumulate to such an extent
as to cause commissions, which often
prove fatal.
Peruna, by relieving the kidneys of
their congested and catarrhal condi-
tions. leaves them free to act in a
normal manner.
1t also strengthens the action of the
heart. equalizing the circulation of
the blood in all parts of the system

HISTORY OF EASTER.
Day Commemorate Resurrection of
Christ-A Movable Festival
Among Christians.

II il well known that In the early
Christian church for long series Of
years warm disputes took place as to
the proper date on which to observe
Easter. The churches of Asia Minor,
following what is called THE tradi-
ton of st. john" kept the fourteenth
day Of the Jewish month Nissan. The
western churches, however. supported
by the church at Jerusalem and a few
others, said 1t was necessary that a
Friday should always be set apart to
commemorate Christ's death, and a
Sunday His resurrection. The con-
test grew so warm that each side ex-
communicated the other Surely triy-
ialities could hardly go much further,
1t is difficult for US to imagine that
our fathers could have disputed, and
separated the one from the other, over
matter of this kind; but it is true
that the apple of discord which
seemed to the people of that age to be
made Of gold, to their successors ap-
pears to be made only of iron or clay.
With us, as is we'll known, Easter Is
what is called a movable festival. 1t
Is always held on the next Sabbath
after the yernal full moon, with the
exception that of the vernal full moon
Should fall on a Sunday, then, to
avoid all conformity with the Jewish
practice, Easter Is not kept till the
following Sabbath. The vernal full
moon is that which either takes place
on March q or on the next date after
March 81 II the vernal full moon
falls on March q, and that day hap
pens to be Sunday, then Easter
cannot be held till April 25, which is
the latest date on which Easter can
fall, the earliest being March o.
This is certainly very mechanical
continuance, and one which most peo-
pie find it difficult to understand or
remember. Owing to obvious connec-
tion between Easter and the Jewish
Passover, the French call the former
Paques (from the Hebrew Pesech,
which means a passing over), and OBJ
viously some such title as this would
be more appropriate than ours, which
comes from the Saxon goddess Eostre,
believed to the same as the Syrian AS
tarte and the Greek and Roman

THE RABBIT AND EASTER.
Connected with the Celebra-
ton of the Day.

The part the hare plays in the cele-
bration of Easter has nothing whatever
to do with the resurrection of Christ.
1t is survival of Teutonic folklore of
unknown antiquity, and its religious
connection is with nature-worship, and
that phase of it in which the moon was
chief divinity The hare became SYM
boil of the moon, for several reasons
because it comes out at night to feed;
for month, representing the lunar
cycle; because the young are born with
their eyes open and were tabled never
to close them, thus resembling the
moon, "open-eyed watcher Of the
night" In one way or another there
grew up fund of stories in which the
connection Of the hare, the lunar period
and the pasehal full moon, which fixes
the date Of Easter, developed so that IL
gave rise to many popular customs. in
Germany, among the Scandinavian
peoples and in England. The queerest
bit of this folklore is that of the white
hare, which the children are told comes
into the house on Easter eve and leaves
in corners eggs adorned in beautiful
colors, which every good child may
have. The egg was In religious legend
from the oldest times a symbol of
opening life and Of immortality, and
naturally of the resurrection, so here
we have the people coupling the two.
As for the rabbit, he is not the same
as the European hare, but he is his
nearest American congener, and other
legends concerning the rabbits foot
and the full of the moon exist among
the negroes OF the south.

Venus, who was specially worshiped
in the spring season as the mother
and giver of animal and vegetable
life. From the earliest ages various
customs and superstitions have asso-
ciated themselves with Easter. As at
Christmas 1t used to be believed that
all water was turned into wine and
that all cattle knelt In their stalls in
alteration Of the infant Saviour, so 1t
was held that at Easter the sun

suing from the room revealed the murder.
While employees were beating out the
fire the woman recovered long enough TO
utter the words. "Elliston, Ellsworth"
Then she died. The upper part OF the
body was terribly burned. Later physi-
clans said the wounds on the head were
sufficient TO cause death.
A man who registered at the hotel as
M +. Wilson. Milwaukee" and occupied
a room directly over that Of the woman.
Is believed by the police TO be the muir
derer. He was seen running from the
woman's room a few minutes before the
fire was discovered He instantly left the
hotel, carrying two grips. The police
have been unable TO trace him.
The murdered woman arrived at the
hotel Monday morning and registered as
Mrs. Johnson. Detroit" She was as
signed to room on the second floor. A
few hours later Wilson" arrived and
was given a room on the third floor, di-
rectly above the woman's. So far as
known the couple did not meet until the
crime was committed.
The police believe the murder was
planned deliberately before either man
or woman came to Minneapolis. But for
the prompt action OF the employees In
breaking into the room in which the
woman met her death the hotel would
have been destroyed by fire. IL is the
theory OF the police that this was the in
tention OF the murderer In order to con-
ceal his crime.
