EASTER'S DEEP MEANING.

How 1t May BE Incorporated Into
the Life of Every Day.
1t seems clear that pure spirit will
arise from the seed of a pure body. and
a loving spirit from the seed of low
ing body. If the body we sorrowfully
put aside has been one full of charity,
helpful, kindly and eager to speak ten
der. plying words-one that has
thought no evil and has believed all
things-can anyone doubt what should
come of such a seed planting? The
natural comes first, and after that the
Is the spiritual" 1t is far more glori-
Gus. but, after all, the same!
So we may bring Easter, with its
wonderful deep meaning, into the life
Of every day. How? By teaching our
selves to comprehend the truth that
while we live this human life, and de-
yelop this natural body, 1t is not alone
the natural body we are creating, but
the seed of the spiritual body which
Is to come after.
This is not mystical doctrine. All
those who in this life have attained
some knowledge Of their Spiritual ma
lures will testify to It's truth. The
change from n natural TO a spiritual
living is like the growing of a plant
whose seed we have sown. The right
plant surely grows In a man who has
sown the right seed.
AS the spiritual nature of a man be-
gins to develop, the purer. higher ele-
ments In him grow stronger, and one
by one the baser sort die. Hate dies,
and revenge and anger. Cruelty dies.
and all unklndness. Narrowness Of
mind dies, and contempt for the frail-
ties Of others.
The part that lives and grows strong
ar is love. Purity and truth and cour-
age are but parts Of love, and. as 1t
grows greater, by and by comes the
sureness Of knowledge. and faith itself
Is swallowed up in fruition.
This Is the daily burial Of the old
nan who was earthly" and the daily
Using of the new, who is the Lord
rom Heaven" To such heart Easter
comes every day.-Harper's Bazaar.

When you sleep, in which direction
do you lay your head?
1t makes much difference. Even in
sleeping there is much science.
SleepleSsness or insomnia may be
greatly relieved if not actually cured
by having the body lie in the natural
relation of its own magnetism and the
earth magnetism.
The human body is a great living
magnet, almost as dencately poised Us
magnetic needle in the compass box.
When the compass needle is placed in
an east and west direction at once the
needle begins to try TO get in a north
and south line with its length This
is because the magnetic waves in pass
ing from the north pole of the world
to the south pole sweep the magnetic
needle into the line OF least resist
forces of the needle and the earth
may be in harmony.
If you are SleepleSS. or rest poorly.
look after the arrangement of your
bed. Turn its head to the north. Get
your body in line with the magnetic
polar earth waves and have no ma 2
netic counteraction in your nervous
makeup by the earth currents running
across your magnetic organism. The
proof of a medicine is its results.
Try this north and south body line
up and note results that will make
you marvel if you are nervous and
sleepleSs.

Easter Ham.

Eggs suggest ham: This gave rise
probably to the Easter ham of Ken
lucky. However this may be, it is
certain that in the Blue Grass State
the ham is as indispensable to an
Easter dinner as turkey to a Christmas
dining. All the old families who have
tasted and abstained from meat during
Lent, according to the strictest require
ments, must have their Easter ham.
1t would take an old Kentucky darby
to initiate you into the mysteries Of
its preparation. But to all taste and
appearance it is a large sugar cured
ham slashed to the bone and stuffed
with all the young vegetables of the
season. with an elegant garniture Of
rings of eggs and herb foliage and
sauced with champagne, served steam

There are several legends that ex-
plain the custom Of coloring eggs for
Easter, but perhaps this is one Of the
prettiest:
After the crucifixion of Christ, Jo-
seph Of Arimathea took the BODY and
laid 1t In tomb followed out Of a
rock. The story goes that a beautiful
tree, bearing blue blossoms, grew by
this tomb. A bird had built its nest
In this tree, and in the nest were four
pretty white eggs. When the bird saw
the hands and the feet of the Lord
pierced with the nails, she began to
sing a sorrowful song. All that night
through she sang the same song. full of
grief and pain.
Not long after, when the angel rolled
away the stone from the tomb and the
Lord arose, the bird sang again. But
this time the song was very sweet and
joyful; and then the angel blessed the
bird, the nest and the beautiful white
eggs And the strange story says that
ever since that night the eggs of that
bird change their color. and instead of
being white they are red, yellow and
blue, so that people may be reminded
Of that first Easter day.

To Wash White Cashmere.

First of all, remove hooks and eyes
and any colored trimming. Then shave
up about four ounces of curd soap, put
it in a small saucepan, cover with wa
ter and allow it to melt over q gentle
heat When quite dissolved take out
a cupful, beat remainder up to q lath-
er in a gallon of hot water. When
the heat has gone off immerse the
cashmere, squeeze ii in and out, and
knead it a little. On no account must
soap be rubbed on the material. When
all the dirt has been removed squeeze
as much of the water out as you can
without wringing, and place the arti-
Gle in bath of tepid water, to which
the cupful of dissolved soap and
little blue have been added. Squeeze
as much of the water out again as you
can and hang up TO dry in the open
air. When nearly dry pass through
the mangle and press on the wrong
side with hot iron.

Good Headache Cure.

One of the very best remedies for
sick or nervous headache was sug.
gested recently by a Finnish servant
girl. She took raw potatoes without
either washing or pairing and cut them
into thick slices. These were laid close
together on the forehead and temples
and kept in place by covering with a
large handkerchief folded cornerwise
and tied In the back.
In short time the pain disap-
peared. AS the pieces of potato get
hot replace with cold fresh ones. They
give all the GOODNESS Of Ice without the
incidental dampness, and there is not
the burning sensation ice often causes.
The potato is distinctly soothing.

Cleaning Windows.

Chamois skin Is excellent for use in
cleaning windows. Hot water would
spoil It, Wash the windows with the
wet chamois skin. Rinse the skin and
squeeze it as dry as you can. Now
wipe the windows again with the damp
skin and leave what moisture remains
on the windows to evaporate. If the
windows are washed every week the
work will be lessened. for it only will
be necessary TO wipe the windows once
with the dampened skin The skin
must be kept perfectly clean or the
windows will be streaked. To clean
the skin after using ii, lay fiat on a
table or sink and rub with plenty of
soap and cold water.

A RELIGIOUS Ball Game.

1t Is curious to note how inextricably
early English Easter games were mixed
up with the religion of the people. II
seems that in some sections of the coun-
try one of the ball games played with eggs
was taken into church. At the begin
ming OF the antiphony on Easter it was
the custom for the bishop to take n col.
ored egg, throw it into the air and catch
it again, meanwhile dancing a sort of
stately dance, about the chancel. Then
he threw the egg to one of the choristers
and during the rest of the antiphony they
tossed it about among them.

Lovingly, with tender care,
While the world in solemn stiffness
Watched the coming of the day

When the stone was rolled away.
And when morning dawned resplendent
And on earth its glory shed,
Pealed the lily bells in triumph,
