TONERS should really be hare, in
stead of a rabbit. The hare has from
time tmmemorial been the symbol of
the moon, and, as the moon decides
the time of Easter, it is quite proper
and natural that the hare should be
associated with this season. In Ger

A worthy tradesman of this city

the other day, apropos of the latter's
appearance with his first eyeglasses.

remarked the tradesman, and my
wife pair just like them for the same
time, and now we couldn't either of
US see without them, and we never
had anything the matter with our eyes
in the first place."
What did you begin to wear them

"Why, you see," explained the other.
In a matter-of-fact manner, when my
brother-in-law died he left the two
pair of spectacles, and we couldn't
sell them for anything like what they
were worth."-Harper's Weekly.

HUMoR BURNED AND ITcHEp.
Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs and
FACET Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by cutieura.

About fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. It burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to q
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Rene
dies and found relief in the first trial.
I continued until was completely
cured from the disease, and I have
not been troubled since. G. Burkhart,

Wood Of the Cross. -,
AS some claim the aspen was the
wood OF the cross, others select the
weeping willow for the tree upon
which Judas hanged himself.
There is an old legend as sinister
as the fatalistic Dedipus myth that
claims that before the. birth of Judas
his mother dreamed that her child
would murder his father and betrav
nus God for money. To prevent this
tragedy, the babe was put in a chest
and cast upon the sea, but was rescued
and adopted by king.
According to tradition. Pontius Pi-

eide, for upon his return. to Rome so
indignant was the emperor over the
governors actions while in Jerusa-
lem that he cast him into prison. a
humiliation too great for so weak a
spirit to bear.
Weird is the legend told concerning
the restless, tormented ghost of him
who could wash his hands but not his
conscience of offense.
The body of the suicide was first
cast into the Tiber, but so turbulent
were the storms that Immediately fol-
lowed that it was taken out of the
river, carried to Gaul. and thrown into
the Rhone. Tempests were the in.

1t wanted a few nights to Christmas,
a f9ssixal fsfawhich the small market
toyn pf dorchester was making ex-
tehsfvS Preparations. The narrow
streets which had been thronged with
people were now almost deserted; the
cheap-jack from London, with the
remnant OF breath left him after his
evenings exertions, was making fee
BILE attempts to blow out his naphtha
lamp. and the last shops open were
rapidly closing for. the night, t.
In the comfortable coffee-room of
the old Bears Head, half a dozen
guests, principally commercial travel
ers, sat talking by the light OF the
fire. The talk had drifted from trade
to politics and politics to. religion,
and So by easy stages to the super
natural. !. Three ghost stories, never
known to fail before, had fallen fiat;
there was too much noise outside,
too"'much light within. The fourth
story was told by an old hand with
more success; the streets we're quiet,
aud he had turned the gas out. In the
Pickering light Of the fire., as it shone
on the glasses and danced with shad-
ows on the walls. the story proved 80
enthralling that George, the waiter,
whose presence had been forgotten,
created very disagreeable sensation
by suddenly starting up from a dark
corner and gliding silently from the
room. That's what l call a good
story" said one of the men, slipping
his hot whisky. "Of course it's an
old idea that spirits like to get into
the company Of human beings. A man
told me once that he travelled down
the Great Western with a ghost and
hadn't the slightest suspicion Of it
until the inspector came for tickets.
Ny friend said the, way. that ghost
tried 10 keep up appearances by feel
ing=1WSit in all its pockets and look
ing on the floor was quite touching.
Ultimately 1t gave it up: and with a
faint groan vanished through the ven.
tilator."' /
''That'l do, Hirst,' said another
man.
Its not subject for jesting," said
little old gentleman who had been
an attentive listener. 1--WE never seen
an apparition myself, but I know peo-
pie who have, and 1 consider that
they form very interesting link be-
tween us and the after-life. There's
ghost story connected with this
house, you know"
Never heard of it." said another

istered to him at the darker moment
of Calvary. Then it was that the
voice of the plying turtle dove grew
SO plainttve that never has it re.
gained its lost happy notes. Not only
did the swallow perch on the cross and
twitter tender words of consolation,
but also in its small, sweet way al
leviated the sufferers pain by pulling
out spine from the crown Of >thorns.
And the stork: flying over the cross
loitered on the wing to call down:
'Stryk!" "Stryk!" - Strengthen"

Wonderful Passion Flower.
In the passion flower the reverent
imagination has discovered not a
cross alone, but also the pillar of
scourging. the nails, thu crown of
thorns, and even spots to mark the
five wounds Of the crucified body.
The spaniard will tell you that the
aspen trembles because that was the
wood of the cross. However this may
be, there Is a delightful old legend
concerning the tree out of which the
cross was made.
Aged Adam, weary of toll and sin
and eager for death, sent to the angel
guarding the Tree of Life to beg a
boon. The messenger brought back
the welcome promise that Adam should
