sighed sorrowfully, "and was going to be-

At this very moment the farmers
wife appeared. She removed the colored
eggs carefully from the nest, and replac-
ed them with fresh white ones which she
brought in her apron.
There, Topsey, you may have your
eggs again." she observed %smilingly, "and
you can thank little Rosy for putting the
colored ones in your nest. She thought
they would hatch out some colored chick

Mrs Top-Knot quickly cackled her
thanks, and the other fowls, who were
ashamed Of their ~ill-hehavior, now express

paschal Candies Symbolism.

The Paschal candle is the name given
to the light which appears on the gospel
side of the altar during mass and YES
pers from Easter to Whit Sunday. It
syn1bolizes the rising from the grave Of
Christ the Light of the World" In tho
year 1457 it is recorded that the candle
used Mt Canterbury was of 800 pounds
weight. There is also mentioned as a
matter Of history that on one occasion
the Paschal candle in the church at Nor
wich, England, was SO tall that it had
to be lighted through an opening in the
roof over the choir.

There seemed perceptible a turn

an hour after the completion Of the

Changes in Date for Easter.

An industrious collector Of statisticS
who has beer investigating the subject
has gathered some interesting facts re-
garding the variable times of this fes
tival. In 1888 and 1894, he says, Eastes
fell on the unusually early date Of March
%, but in the three following centuries
it will occur only eight times on that
day, namely, in the years 1851, 2O35,
2O46, 2O57, 21O3, 2125 and 2198,
The earliest date on which it can fall
is March %, and this only when the
moon is full on March 81, which must
be a Saturday. This combination Of cir
cumstances is extremely rare; it occurred
in 1890, 1761 and 1877, and will happen
again in 1890, 2O76 and 2144, while dur
ing the three centuries following this last
year it is not once destined to fall on
so early a date.
Going to the other extreme, Easter
never comes later than April Is. It II
on record as happening on this date In
1866, 1874 and 1886, and in the next
century will reach it only once-in 1913.

What a Marie Beard Tells,

"You ca'i tel! some of d mans habi. and read some of his trait; of char,.t ter from his beard." said the old bar Der. "If q man spends his days at q desk beside a window his hair ana beard will grow faster on tl!a sit,e {, ward the window. Plants and bcarLs both flourish under the influence Of sunlight. Why, one of my customers found the effects of the side light SC pronounced that he changed his office desk to face the window. Another in. teresting fact is that. when q man is up late or works long hours, he needs a shave oftener than if he took the usual amount of sleep. That's because in being awake he keeps the vital proc esses of his body in greater activity than when asleep. The growth of the hair depends largely on the circulation of the blood and the heart slows down when we sleep.": ":-kansas City Star.

An Ancient lrish Custom,

In the district known as "the barony of Forth" in County Wexford, Ireland is to be found a race of hardworkin@ industrious peasants living in thatche. cottages with clean, whitewashed wal: which by their perfect whiteness once arrest the Attention of the visitor These people differ in many respcct' from the inhabitants of the other par; of the same county and have habit and customs peculiar to themselve: When funeral takes place two wooG en crosses are provided. On the wa. to the cemetery a halt is made at certain spot by the side of the road Here prayers are said for the deceased after which one cross is deposited in hawthorn bush or under it. The pr cession then goes on it's way, and afte the interment the other cross is fyc at the head of the grave. This stranc custom dates from time immemori; as the great pile of crosses by the roa side indicates.

MIX THIS AT HOME
Tells How to Find Out if the Kidneys Are Affected and What to DO- Gives Splendid Recipe to Mix Yourself.

A well-known authority states that there are more cases of kidney trouble here now than ever before, while re- cent reports show that more people succumb each year to some form of kidney disease than any other cause.
 When there is sickness, examine the urine. Rheumatism is only symp- tom of kidney trouble. It is nothing more or less than excessive uric acid in the blood, which the sluggish, inact- i've kidneys have failed to sift out, leaving it to decompose and settle about the joints and muscles, causing intense suffering; frequently resulting in deformity; often reaching the heart when death ensues.
 Pains across the back, frequent, painful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble; many cases of stomach disease, head ache, pain in the heart, inactive liver' etc, are but symptoms; the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogged kidneys.
 The physicians for the insurance companies always carefully examine and report on the condition of the urine. It is a certain sign of sickness or health of the human body.
 A test of the urine should be made by every man and woman at least once each year. A simple test is to void small quantity of urine in bottle or glass and let it stand over night; next morning, if there is red dish brick-dust sediment, or white, fleecy substance present, either con- suit some reputable physician or take a good vegetable treatment. The fol- lowing prescription is recommended highly in these cases and if desirable the sufferer can mix it at home. Any good prescription pharmacy has the ingredients, which are harmless and inexpensive: Compound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa- use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Where any Of the symptoms enumerated above are present, good results are sure to fol- low immediately the use of this sim pie prescription.

ANTI-HORSE
 THIEF MEETING

Pawnee, Okla, Oct. Stringent laws providing for a more severe pun ishment of horse and cattle thieves will be demanded by the Oklahoma Indian Territory Anti-Horse Thief Association, which is holding it's an- nual convention here today. Under the present territorial law, many pro fessional horse thieves who have been captured by members of the associa- tion have been sentenced to only a year in prison. Such penalties, the members of the association believe, are not sufficient to act as a deterrent to thievery. The body now includes in it's membership a considerable pro- portion of the leading farmers and stockmen of the new state, fifty new lodges having been organized in the last year. The national convention of the association was held recently in Enid, Okla.

How to Stop Runaways,

The policeman had stopped the ruu away very neatly. Now, though pnf ing little he was quite calm.
 'It's nothing to stop a runaway" Il said as he wiped his foam coverc. hands. ''It is like jumping on or of moving car-dead easy when you kno' how. What you want to do when yc see runaway tearing toward you i not to stand still, but to run all yol might in the same way the nag's az ing. Then, when it catches up to yo, you grab the bridle and keep a-rui, ming. Then you are not thrown, yo are not trampled on, and in a minu: or two the horse slows down. I'v stopped dozen runaways without q, accident. It's part of our training, an, the policeman who would refuse t take chance would be disgraced th same as soldier who would refuse l. fight" t."-New York Press.

When Lensse!low D1ned.

Yesterday I dined with Dominican friars at the convent of San Clemente. Archbishop Manning and several peo- pie of note were there. We had jo- vial dinner and good wine, and every dish was Italian, not to say 1taltanis- simo. After dinner we went into a small coffee room, where the inquisitor tried to light a fire, with small success. Some one cried out. 'Ah, padre, the days have gone by when fires can be lighted by inquisitors." and there was a roar of laughter, in which the padre aforesaid joined heartily"

A North Atlantic Curiosity.

"In the midst of the north Atlantic there is an enormous field of floating seaweed which kept It's place presum- ably for centuries,' said an old sea captain. Ut occupies an immense eddy about the fifty-sixth degree of west longitude and between the twen- ty-second and twenty-eighth degrees of north latitude. There is great differ ence of opinion regarding the origin of this floating mass. Some believe 1t to be detached from rocks at a considera- ble depth in the latitude where it floats. Others suppose it to come from the shores of the northern seas, having been detached from the rocks by the violence of the winds. Some again i'm agine that 1t comes from the rocky shores of Florida and Mexico, while many others agree with me in beliey- ing that it has never had any other than it's present place of abode. No ono has eya;' seen it attached to rocks; nor have roots ever been discovere,t belonging to it."
