A TRIAL OF STRENGTH.
Tho Feat That Was Performed by
Adargoma, the Wrestler.


Tradition has immortalized one Adar-
gonna Of Grand Canary. who could
wrestle for two consecutive hours and.
having been thrown undermost in a
certain contest, got his antagonist be-
tween his legs and arms and squeezed
him so that his bones began to crack.
The native was subsequently sent as
prisoner to Spain. where he astound-
ed the people by his performances.
One day in Seville he was visited by
brawny youth Of La Mancha. who was
anxious to try a bout with him. my
good friend" said Adargoma. las we
are going to wrestle together it is only
reasonable that we should begin by
drinking something"
A large bowl of wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand and
continued to address his challenger:
eff with both your arms you can over
power one of mine so as to hinder me
from drinking every drop Of this wine
we will try our strength together; if
not, you may return to your home"
The struggle took place. and Adargo
ma by degrees drained the bowl in the
coolest manner without spilling drop
of the wine. His one hand was more
than a match for the others two

Customs Of Eastertide.

In nearly all Christian countries the
recurrence Of Easter has been cele-
brated with various ceremonies and
popular sports and observances. Some
of these customs are curious indeed.
In the north of England you may still
hear the old rime:
It'd, mid and misera,
CARING, palm and PaSch egg day.
The first line refers to Christmas,
the Epiphany and Lent. Carvings are
stepped peas fried in butter. with pep
per and salt. and eaten on midlent or
mothering Sunday, as the fourth Sun
day in Lent is sometimes called. Palm
Sunday Immediately precedes Passion
week and is so called from the
branches of palm trees strewn in our
Saviour's path at the time of his tri-
umphal entry into Jerusalem.
Pasch eggs are Easter eggs boiled
so hard that you can play at ball with
them. dyed with various colors and
often having inscriptions or land
scapes traced upon them.
Easter eggs symbolic the resurrec-
ton. AS one old writer says. LAS the
bird imprisoned within the she'll comes
to life and liberty at the appointed
time. so did our Saviour on Easter
morning burst the gates of the grave"
The eggs were at first dyed scarlet. in
memory of the blood of Christ shed
upon the cross.

May Irwin Coming.

May Irwin, who is announced for an
appearance at the Gennett next Tues
day night. has just completed a very
successful engagement in Boston
where she is the most loved of all
American condolences.
This season she is dispensing three
acts of contagious mirth in her newest
comedy with music, She Knows Bet
ter Now" which was written for her
by Agnes l.. Crimmins of Radcliffe col
lege. Miss Irwin's newest offering has
been declared TO be the best vehicle
she has had in many seasons. The au.
thoress has selected womans weak
ness for buying costly things abroad
and then neglecting to pay duty, as
her theme for satirization. II is need
less to say that this jolly Coincidence
who just bubbles with good nature
makes the most of the opportunities
supplied by the author, and indeed
furnishes many joyous moments on
her own account.

RUSH OF THE CRESTED SEA.
Mount St. Michels Tidal Wave Ono Of
the Siqhts of the World,

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon people
gather on the causeway that connects
the islet of Mount st. Michel with the
French coast to watch the coming of
the tide. one of the sights of the
world
AS far as the eye can reach stretches
the gray sand, silent. empty. Seven
miles and a half lie between the ocean
and the rock. Presently a strange
murmur pervades the air. 1t seems
to come from nowhere and yet to be
everywhere.
And then far on the horizon lifts a
line Of white. Every moment it draws
nearer, and the sound in the air swells
louder, and then with astonishing
speed up the line of crested sea. and
in moment, where it reaches the
sands, there is but space Of swirling
water. And on the waves ride in the
fishing boats that have gone out to
sea on the tide at dawn.
Many a tragedy has been caused by
the swift thrush of this true tidal wave,
for, save along narrow paths, the bot
tom of this vast, strange bay is but
quicksand, and after the tide has once
turned and the sound of its coming is
heard no man can hope to escape its
reach unless he be close indeed to the
mount or the shores of the mainland

Tho Problem Of the Glacier.

The curves Of variation of glaciers
which are collected in the Alpine mu-
scum in Berne show. according to Pro-
fessor Brueckner. that the twentysix
great glaciers of Switzerland which
were very extensive at the beginning
Of the nineteenth century thereafter
receded. at first slowly and then more
rapidly. until the close of the century.
The course of recession was interrupt
ed about the middle of the century by
brief advance, in which only two
glaciers exceeded the limits that
bounded them at the commencement
of the century. The glaciers showed
a second slight advance between 1890
and 1895. Although the curves of the
various glaciers are similar in gen.
eral, each exhibits well marked pc
culiarities, which make it difficult to
trace any connection between eli
matte changes and fluctuations in gla-
citation. The problem of the glaciers
IS still involved in obscurity. and much
patient research will be required to
effect its solution. Scientific Ameri-

Easter Eoo Game.

When your friends come to play with
you during the Easter holidays select
a leader The leader stands in the cen
ter of a circle. Each player holds out
his hands, palms upward. and upon
each of them the leader places an East
er egg. The leader then goes around
the circle, catching up the eggs in turn
and trying to strike them upon the
hands that hold them
Each one tries to withdraw his hands
before they are struck. The same lead
er continues until he is able to strike
some ones hands, whereupon the vic
tim must take his place. If ones
hands are withdrawn and the egg falls
to the ground because of feint on
the part of the leader 1t is as if his
hands received the blow. At the end
Of the game the eggs can be eaten.

ing the nest was full of little downy
chicks. The chickens thought that the
rabbit was their own really. truly
mother, SO they cried for something
to eat. and the rabbit ran about the
field for food for them, and she fed
them and kept them warm until their
feathers grew and they were old
enough to shift for themselves.
Ever since the little German chill

Gases i'm Stomach
Poison the Blood

Gas forms in your stomach because
the food you eat ferments and turns
sour.
Allow this fermentation to go on
and these gases become poisonous and
the poison gets into the blood.
MONA stomach tablets stop the
fermentation almost instantly, turn
the poisonous gases into hquod, and
eliminates the poison mostly through
the kidneys.
If you have any stomach trouble
such as gas, sourness, heaviness,
flatulency. or shortness of breath.
MONA will give gratifying relief in
five minutes.

Tailors' Thimbles.

If you have ever noticed tailor's
thimble you must have observed that it
is not like the one your mother or your
sisters use, because it has no top. As
there Is a reason for everything. there
is a reason for this.
The stuff your mother sews on is
usually very light, and the needle is
easily pushed through by pressing the
top of the thimble against the needle.
But tailors often have to sew very
coarse and heavy material. and they
cannot get enough pressure on the top
ind therefore they have no use for a
top.

Consul s. L. Gracey calls attention
to the soft and smooth tones of the
bells in use at temples and monster
les in China and Japan. The quality
OF tone is due, he says, not only 10 the
use of excellent material. but also to
the absence of iron clappers. The
bells are never swung. but are always
suspended in a fixed frame. and are
sounded by striking them on the outer
edge with a wooden mallet.-Argonaut.

There is a little story connected
with the three bail charm which Will

Fields in his younger days was with

for time was stationed in New York
Harbor. They were ploughing out
around the harbor one Sunday morn

slipped her moorings and steamed out
into the river. An old Hebrew in his
anxiety to wave farewell to friends
on the dock leaned too far out and
went overheard. Fields witnessed the
accident and signalled the cutter to
ing a frantic struggle for his life and
Frields seeing they could not get close
to him. leaped into the water and bore
the fighting kicking old man out of the
water and a few seconds later was
hauled aboard the cutter.
The Hebrew was overjoyed and
wanted to kiss his rescuer, but Fields
declined but gave his name to the old
fellow and promptly forgot the Incl
dent. A few years later made his de-
