A LEGEND OF EASTER.

The story runs hat when Adam
felt death approach he called his son
Seth to his side and babe him ask the
archangel, the keeper Of the garden,
for a balsam that should save him
from death.
The time of pardon is not yet COME
said the a%rchangel. -Four thousand
years must pass. But as a token that
his future pardon is assured the wood
wherein redemption shall be won shall
grow from Adams tomb
He then gave three seeds to Seth
and bade him place them in his ia
Tiers mouth when he died. Adam died
three days later. Seth obeyed the di-
rectiOns of the archangel, and the place
or his fathers sepulcher was Golgotha.
where in curse of time three trees
grew from the seeds. One was a cedar,
another a cypress and the third a pine.
1t was with a bOugh from one of these
trees that Moses performed his mira
Giles in Egypt, brought water out Of
the rock and healed those whom the
serpents had bitten in the wilderness.
After a time the three trees incorpo-
rated themselves with each other and
became a single tree, beneath which
David sat when he bewailed his sins.
In the days of Solomon the tree had
become the finest of all trees, so was
cut down to assist in the building of
the temple. But magic seemed to have
taken possession of the wood, for
nothing which it was wanted to serve
for would answer until at last Solo
mon cast the tree over CedrOn so that
all might trample on it rs they crossed
the brook.
There it was discovered by the queen
of Sheba, and she, recognizing its viz
tue, had it raised. 1t was then buried,
but the spot where It lay became the
pool of Bethesda and healed all tn.
sick who fiocked to it. When the time
of the crucitiXion drew neal the beam
OF wood rose to the surface and was
brought out of the water, and when
the eXecutiOners sought for a beam for
the cross they discovered this and
found that it fitted their purpose. So
the prophecy was fulfilled.

Sir Isaac Newton.

The discovery Of gravitation was the
first of many great ideas that came t.
'the greatest original thinker Of al,
time" Newton was also the pioneer
in announcing the physical properties
of light. His epitaph. translated from
the Latin, on his monument in West
minister Abbey describes in Il few
words the greatest accomplishments of
Newton. 1t reads:
Here lies Isaac Newton. who hv
vigor of mind always supernatural
first demonstrated the motions and
figures of the planets, the paths Of
the comets and the tides of the cean.
He discovered what before his time no
one had ever suspected, that rays of
light are differently refrangible and
that this is the cause of colors."

his equipment for treating horses and
cattle an Eureka Simplicity Veterinary
Operating Table at big expense 1t
Is so constructed that the animal is
firmly held, yet not injured in any way
and the operators are protected from
harm.
A large, comfortable room with win
dows suitable for light and ventilation
and the ceiling wired for electric lights
has been fitted up in one part of his
barn in the rear of his lot on Kennefick
street which makes an ideal place to
do operating.
Monday six horses were scientifically
operated on and treated by DIR. j. b.
Stevens and his son DR.. G. G. Stevens of
Port Huron.
Should there be any of our readers
interested we advise that they visit the
operating room and see how the table
works, for then they would understand
its workings better than if we tried to
explain 1t.
Our stock raisers should be proud of
such place so near at hand where they
may bring stock which needs treatment
and have them properly taken care of
We commend DR.. Stevens on being
aggressive and progressive.

arising from the fact that warships of

that the most the American vessels could
