THE CATTLE.

If more space is given in our columns
to the blooded stock than to any other
department it is because, thanks to the
untiring efforts of George c. Cary, there
are more cattle on the grounds than any
other animals. Several exhibitors have
over 20 head in their herds and many of
the exhibits have taken blue ribbons at
the biggest fairs in the country. The
Brown Swiss cattle from Speedwell
Farms, Lyndon Center, attracted much
attention, and since the stock was
Judged are all decorated with blue rib
bons. There are IL in the herd, and, as
one spectator said, they look like great,
overgrown Jerseys. The herd came
down our streets Monday morning and
attracted much interest en- route Mr..
Wallis herd is headed by the bull Nc
Adonis and includes three cows, Sallie
B., Liestal and Clementine, each winners
of the first premiums at the Indiana
state fair; three big two year-old heifers
and the heifer calf Lyndonville. One of
the cows has record of 5S4 pounds of
butter in a year. They are the hand
soonest cattle on the grounds, and in
perfect condition. They will be seen at
the state fair in October.
E. F. Pember of Bangor, Me-, exhibits
here for the first time with 16 head of
Ayrshires headed by Gold Fox, the f.
year-old bull who is grandson of Old
Lady Fox, the best Ayrshire COW bred.
The herd includes four COWS, two 3-year-
olds, two 2-year-olds, two yearlings and
three heifers. He has exhibited at three
Maine fairs and will round out the
season at the Valley fair at Brattleboro
and the state fair. The bull calf won the
grand championship and two of Mr..
Pembers cows have given so pounds of
milk each in day.
D. H. Tingley and Son of Readheld,
Me-, have herd of Herefords the great
beef cattle. The herd is headed by the
4-yr-old bull Bandale which weighed a
thousand pounds when only nine months
old. One of his COWS has won the blue
ribbon every year since she was calf
and now weighs 1900 pounds. Mr.
Tingley is here for the first time and his
herd has won the first prize at the state
fair at Lewiston for four successive years.
His COW also won the championship at
the state fair in the beef class A big
herd 20 Herefords is also shown by S.
B. Smith of North Sandwich, N. H.,
headed by the 3-yr-old bull Teddy who
weighs 2100 pounds. This is the third
year this farm has asexhibited here and the
exhibit ends the season at the state
fair.

that the state experiment station at

committee much regret that they could
not have known in season so as to have
arranged an exhibit from another
source. Many pamphlets, which would
be of much service to farmers who
are contemplating the planting of pine
on their lands or other practical forestry
work, are now at the Museum and will
be distributed gratuitously to all per
sons who wish them.

fractions for the Grand Stand
and Fast Racing Assured for
the Next Two Days.
With fair weather prophesied for the
next two days the 61st annual Caledonia
county fair ought to be record breaker
in attendance and the management are
to be be congratulated that they have
the best all round exhibit ever gathered
on the grounds. With 600 entries in
blooded cattle and some of the finest
Morgan and Percheron stock in this
section, there can be no complaint that
the agricultural part of the show is being
neglected, while the sheep are splendidly
represented and the vegetable exhibit is
more varied than ever before. The
poultry department keeps growing and
the coops are stacked three deep with
two exhibits in many of the coops for
lack of space.
Yesterday was rather quiet day,
though nearly 800 paid admissions were
taken at the gates. The program was
carried out as outlined and the few on
the grand stand saw the clever work of
the Picchiani troup and the sensational
high dives of the Norins from platform
nearly 60 feet from the ground. Charley
TAYLOR drove Billy Bryant around the
track in 1.15s4 and was heartily ap-
plauded as he came back past the grand
stand. The green race for purse OF

.Now, boys" said tie Sunday School teacher after a painstaking lesson on the origin and history of Easter, "can you tell me anything about Good Fri day7"
 boy in the class. He was the servant of Robinson Crusoe."
 About as pertinent as the small boys answer would be any attempted ac- count of the real origin of Easter and the beginning of its celebration. It Is fesfaI day certainly as old as the history of man. Every nation that has or had a written language contains reference to the celebration of splen- did sprfng festival in honor of what ever deity of abundance and benefit cience the particular nation believed 1n Japan has had from time imme- morial a beautiful celebration to com rnemorate the giving way of winter cold to warmth and light and growing green things. though the Japanese knew nothing of the Christian Easter.
 Of Psychological origin.
 The very name Easter" itself comes from the name of Ostara, goddess of old Morse mythology In the times of the worlds early peoples the new year began on what is now March 20 because then the sun entered the sign of Aries the Ram. The new year thus marked the beginning of spring and the resurrection of vegetable life of all kinds: heuce the Lamb became as @ociated with the spring festival. Ma The death and spring reappearance of plant life correspond to the death and Tssurrection of the Christ. When the church fathers established the Chris fian Easter the only change necessary wss one of names. The joy of Easter

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES

Pain is natures signal of distress. warning that must not be ignored. Those sharp twinges in the back, those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn, are simple signs of hidden danger in the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily, gains ground more rapidly, nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the kidneys. All the outward ap- Dearances of health may remain until q terrible disease has taken root
 It Is best to learn the duties of the Kidneys, to watch for early signs of trouble. and to correct any irregular ity before its serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys in an incessant stream. to be cleared of pol son and relieved of surplus water. This is passed of by the kidneys in the urine. It is the retention of poi son in kidney trouble that breeds fatal disease.
 Don't walt. The moment you feel any uneaslness. lameness or pain in the back. the moment the urine shows irregularity, either in It's appearance, or in the quantity or number of the passages, begin with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy has been curing kidney troubles for seventy-six years and never yet has failed to give re- lief. if taken in time. It cures the Kidneys, and thus cures backache, lame back, headscne. dizzy spells, urinary troubles, rheumatic pains.

day, the reverence for a loving, bene- i1cient divinity. were there already.
 Even the Easter egg. typical of the tomb inclosing an immortal spirit which bursts it's confining walls and rises to a new Ind glorious life. Is as old--weil. as old as the story of man himself again. In the gray twilight of the race Hindoo cosmology made the universe a great egg. with the power of life and creation with 1t. The most ancient Chinese and Japanese believed the visible wcrld and all 1t contains sprang from an egg which held within 1t the germ of created things.
 Persons of finely strung nerves sometimes see surrounding a human being faint egg shaped cloud or aura in which varied coiors occasionally play. Hindoo philosophers call this atmosphere the auric egg and declare it surrounds every object, animate and inanimate. From ancient Chaldea, through Zoroaster and the fire wor- shippers, Egyptians. Chinese and Jap anese, down to Christian times, when 1t symbolizes the Christ resurrection. the egg and a mystical emblem has prevailed and survived
 So 1t is quito proper that we should eat eggs and give our friends presents of ornamental eggs at Easter time.
 A Suggestion to collectors.
 collection of Easter eggs through several generations or even of those received during one lifetime would be as interesting as a lot of historic fans. Tn fact the empress and dow ager empress of Russia are both mak- ing such collections In Russia, where Easter gifts are made so much of, an Easter egg amounts to some thing in the imperial family. It is not a real egg at all but an egg

He suffered with pains across his back which were more severe at night than at any other time and if he stopped, over. it pained him. When he caught cold his back felt lame and sore and the kidneys were irregular at times and caused him annoyance. He used several different remedies and some of them benefited him. while others did not. when I real about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box at F. G. Fowler's Drug Store.

There the eggs are not given to the little ones outright, but are hidden in nests. and the children must have a merry hunt till they find the nests A hare. or rabbit, as 1t would be in America. Is supposed by In a nest the night before Easter, The custom of hiding gaily colored eggs for children to find on Easter morning comes down from old Germany. It is said that one Easter morning a long time ago little girl, hunting the customary nest of eggs. saw hare spring out of the bushes where the nest had been hidden. T know now where the Easter eggs come fromF' cried the little girl. .The hare lays them.' And that is how the odd con nection of rabbit and Easter egg be- gan, so tis said. When the weather Is too stormy to hide the eggs out doors they are concealed in hooks and crannies inside. The children always have the fun of hunting for them.
 Some Modern Developments.
 There Is infinite variety Of Easter eggs. There are no prettier ones than those painted at home in water colors by the woman or girl who has some Knowledge of art It Is delightful en- tertainment painting these Easter eggs Another good way to prepare them is to take the end of a burnt match, dip it in grease and write with 1t the child's name upon the egg. Or some comic figure. as a donkey or a Teddy bear may be drawn upon the egg with the greasy match point. Af- ter that dye the egg in the usual man ner.

 It may be interesting to recall that the very custom of celebrating a solemn mass with lighted candles on Easter Sunday comes from the ancient practice of lighting fires and candles during the spring festival to symbol ize the triumph of fire. warmth over cold. spring over winter. Flowers, too, gorgeous blossoms, decked the ancient temples of the pagan deities at the spring festival as they do churches today. All was joy and worship.
 The undoubted origin of Easter Is pagan. but not very much more pagan than are the thoughts of twentieth century ladies when they go to church on Easter morning and study the de- tails of one another's new hats; not much more pagan either than the thoughts of the florist who decorated the church for Easter, or than the thoughts of the maiden who wonders how much the Easter gift will be worth which her sweetheart sends her. Oh, dearl This Is rather pagan age, after alt

A fine green shade Is made by boiling spinach leaves quarter of an hour, after which put the leaves into a sieve and squeeze out all the juice Eggs boiled in this liquid will be of q pretty color.
 Artificial eggs of all kinds contain ing toys or candles are among the incest gifts for the children. Some- times neat little silyer watches are hidden in the eggs for specially fav- ored or fortunate school pupils. Home- made candy eggs are among the most cially those with chocolate shells Tin molds of the shape of half an egg can be got at confections' supply stores and elsewhere. Each half of the egg shell is nodded separately then cooled and filled with very small candies. The two halves are stuck together with soft candy paste. Some of the costly feet high. and the price of them Is even higher than the eggs.
 Flowers Play Their Part.
 Along with Easter eggs with all their variations flowers are among the things appropriate for Easter gifts to women and. girls. The true woman is never. better pleased than when she receives a basket or pot of lilies and roses or bunch of violets. It Is now quite the fashionable thing for wo- men to sew in Lent and make Easter gifts for their friends.
 As to the children, thera is hardly any end to the variety of gifts for them every year. This year the Teddy bear has to considerable extent talk

New York March so.--( Especial )--The re- lecurces of Immigration Commissioner Wat .chcrn and his Island are taxed to the ute most these days by the spring rush of Immigrants. which has started out in a way which leads the authorities at Ellis Island to expect an unprecedented arrival of aliens at this port during the summer. More than 12eoo immigrants were landed from eight ships during two days at the beginning of last week. while reports to the steamship agents in this city are to the affect that every station abroad from which immigrants sail is overcrowded with other thousands of future American citizens who have all booked third class accommo- dations for months ahead. Most of these 1mmiErants come from Italy and southern European ports, lured by the news of abun- dant prosperity in the Western States which has reached them in letters from relatives and friends already in this country: so that unusual features of the present influx are fhe few who desire to remain in New York and the immediate vicinity and the many 4ici<eta.
