CC-EN I'UST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostratkm.
If yrra in dangerously sick what is
the first duty of your physician 1 He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, "what 13 the cause T"
I d the answer cornea in pitying
iMi, nervous prostration. It came
upon yon so quietly in the beginning',
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.
Mas. A. Hjlktlct.
Ton ought to hare known that
When you ceased be regular in your
courses, and yow grew irritable with
out cause, that there was serious
trouble somewhere.
Yon ought to know that indigestion,
exhaustion, womb displacements,
fainting, dizziness, headache, and
backache send the nerves wild with
affright, and you cannot sleep.

P. of this town.came very nearly losing
their esteemed and capable secretary,
Mrs. Julia A. Mallahan. Mrs. Mallahan
caught a severe cold last winter, and
like many others, failed to recognize
the dangerous possibilities until it bad
settled in her kidneys, and left her
with Very severe hearing down pains
and' almost constant backache. It al
most carried her off. Mrs. Mallahan
tells the story this ways
"I caught a cold last winter, which I
neglected until It settled in my kid
neys, causing severe bearing down
pains and almost constant bachache.
My health had previously been so good
that I paid little attention n these
symptoms, until the disease had gone
so far that my doctor entertained but a
slight hope of my recovery.
"Fortunately one of our Lodge Mem
bers mentioned Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Her description of the cures they had
eJTected sounded like a fairy tale, but I
sent for a box, deciding to give them a
trial, I soon found that she had but
half told the story of what they could
do. I bless the day I first tried them,
and have nothing hut the highest
praise for them."
Many very valuable lives have been
saved by the timely use of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and not a few of these
have been In Owosso and other neigh
boring Michigan towns. There seems
to be no case of kidney trouble or
bach-ache that Dodd's Kidney Pills
will not cure. .

IRISH JAUNTINQ CARS.
aUplaaatloat or tbo Well-Kaoara Taraa
Inilde aad OataMa.
A long list of vehicles, outside cars
and cabs, some of them battered and
shaky, others sufficiently well looking,
was gatheriug on two sides of the
green, for Dublin, you know. Is the
"car drivlngest city in the world."
Francesca and I had our first experi
ence yesterday. It is easy to tell the
stranger, stiff, decorous, terrified,
clutching the rail with one or both
hands, but we took for our model a
pretty Irish girl, who looked like noth
ing so much as a bird on a swaying
bough. It is longer called the
"jaunting" but the outside, ear, and
there is another charming word lost to
the world. There was formerly an in
side car, too, but it is almost uuknown
in Dublin, though still found in some
of the smaller towns; An outside car
haa its wheels practically inside the
body of the vehicle, but an Inside car
carries its wheels outside. This defi
nition was given us by an Irish driver,
but lucid definition is not, perhaps, an
Irishman's strong point It is clearer
to gay that the passenger sits outside
of the wheels on the one, inside on the
other. There are seats for two per
sona over each of the two wheels, and
a "dicky" for the driver In fronl.shouid
he need to use It Ordinarily he sits on
one side, driving, while you perch on
the other, and thus you Jog along, each
seeing your own side of the road and
discussing the topics of the day across
the "well," as the covered-ln center of
the car Is called. There art those who
do not agree with its champions who
call it "Cupid's own conveyance;" they
find the seat -too small, for two, yet
feel ft a bit unsociable when the com
panion occupies the opposite side. To
me a modern Dublin car with rubber
tires and a good Irish horse is the Jol
Hest conveyance in the universe;
there is a liveliness, an irresponsible
gayety, In the spring and sway of It;
an ease in the half-lounging position
against the cushions, a unique charm
in "traveling edgeways" with your feet
planted on the step. You must not be
afraid of a car if you want to enjoy it
Hold the rail If you must, t first,
though it's just as bad form as cling
ing to your horse's mane while riding
in the Row. Your driver will take ail
the chances that a crowded thorough
fare gives him; he would scorn to
leave more than an inch between your
feet and a Guinness' beer dray; he will
shake your flounces and furbelows in
the very window of (he passing trams,
but he Is beloved by the gods and noth
ing ever happens to him. Atlantic

A good deal has been heard of the
"Lia Fall," or Stone of Destiny, which
is placed under the seat of the corona
tion chair in Westminster abbey; but
few people realize the extreme an
tiquity of this uninteresting-looking,
rough, gray block. It was brought to
Ireland about 1200 B. C. by the Tu-atha-de-Danaaua,
a mysterlou eastern
race who conquered Ireland at that
period. No one Is quite clear as to
their Identity, but many savants sup
pose them to hsve been Chaldeans,
Persians or Phoenicians. Those races
were certainly highly civilized, even
so long ago as the date mentioned.
They attached the greatest possible
value to the stone and used to crown
all their soonarchs on It. Three of ths
Tuatba-de-Danaan queens regnant
who sat upon the stone of destiny re
joiced in the curious name of Fodhla,
Bamba and Eire the last a name that
is creeping into use again of late, after
long eclipse. In the sixth century,
Fergus, king of Scots (an Irishman by
descent), borrowed the stone for his
coronation at Scone, and "frote on to
St" when he -had it. It never went
back to Ireland, and many historians
date the commencement of the dis
tressful country's woes from that loss.
Edward' I. of England carried off the
stone from Scone and placed It In
Westminster abbey, where It still re
mains. abjeeted rriaee sad Last Job.

I Live Easter Eggs.
Sam Lee was a great chicken-fancier,
for a small boy, and like most people
with a fad had no patience with the
fads of others; so when one day he
was telling his mother of a lovely
brood of bantams he had seen ("Not
much bigger than bumblebees, mother,
honest! "),he was provoked when Grace
came In with a basket of eggs to color
for Easter, and took off , his mother's
attention by her questions, -
"Easter eggs!" be scornfully said.
"What good are they? You can't eat
"em! You can't hatch 'era! It's all
just nonsense!"
Grace retorted hotly, and a quarrel
seemed very near indeed; but just then
grandma snapped her fingers sharply,
in a funny way she had. Mother said,
"There, another thought has struck
grandma!" and they all laughed, and
the "war-cloud" rolled away.
Easter morning, when Sam came to
breakfast and found at every plate but
his a pretty nest of moss and wild flow
ers holding three colored eggs, he
wouldn't have owned to feeling
neglected and left out, but he did!
More than that, the family certainly
looked at him with a queer smile, and
grandma even left the table "smiling
all over her face." Could it be they
were smiling at bis discomfiture? Sam
plucked up pride, and even was gener
ous enough to admire the baskets.
"When he went to his room to get
ready for church, be saw the joke!
There on his gas-fixture hung two
large, handsome, egg-shaped Chinese
lanterns, just what, he had wanted.
"Ah!" said Sam, "there's where
grandma's thought struck!"
He started to take them down, and
heard a strange scrambling sound!
Hastily opening them, out fluttered a
tiny pair of silver bantams, and the
little rooster flapped his wings and

The customs, traditions and super
stitions connected with Easter are al
most innumerable. Their origins are
In many cases Impossible to determine,
because they evidently took place at ft
time when the season was still pagan
in Its character. Otners, again, are di
rectly connected with the Christian ob
servance of the festival. The early
Christians in many countries ussd to
greet one another on Easter morning
with the salutation:
"Christ is risen."
The reply to this was:
"Christ Is risen, Indeed, and hath
appeared to Simon."
"This custom, It Is steld. Is still ob
served in the Greek church.
The giving of eggs at Easter, or the
spring festival, is one of the most
widely known, as it is also one of the
oldest, of the customs. From the re
motest times the egg has stood to ths
Eastern nations as the symbol of the
universe, and its breaking at that tima
ha represented the opening of the new
life of the year. When the custom
was carried over into Christian prac
tice the Easter eggs were usually sent
to the priests to be blessed and sprin
kled with holy water. In later times
the coloring and decorating , of the
eggs was introduced, and in a royal

Children's Easter
It K-33 the Saturday- before Easter,
and the children all ran out to the
barn to hunt eggs, with Egypt, the
tame crow, hopping after them. Nan
ny was sure there must bo several
dozen eggs in the hen house, Billy
thought the haymow was the best place
to And them, and Kitty said she had
seen old Topknot flying out from Dob
bin's manger: Egypt said nothing,
OUT IT CAME WITH A LOUD "OW!"
but I rather think he knew as much
about the nests as they did.
Egypt was a sly old fellow. He
liked buttons and pennies, but be had
the greatest fancy for p!ns. He would
pull them out of every pin cushion In
the house when he could get a chance,
so you might search through room
after room, and not come across a
single pin. Nobody knew what he did
with them all. He was fond of eggs,
too, and I am afraid this was the rea
son that the children had such a long
hunt for them, and found so few.
At last they climbed up the long lad
der Into the mow. The hay was piled
almost to the roof and covered the
windows. It was so dark that Naiyiy
and Kitty were a little bit afraid, but
Billy went first, floundering slong In
the hay, just as you wade through a
snow drift.
'Ouess there are nests on this beam,"
said Billy, "but It's so dark I can't
see. I'll feel "

Origin of Easter Hats
To neglect the putting on of some
entirely new article of dress on Eas
ter Sunday was regarded by the Eng
lish of olden times as sure to bring bad
luck, and certainly this Is one of the
practices which has lost nothing with
the Increase of years. Only now It haa
been slightly altered, so that to have
no new clothes to exhibit at the Easter
parade is considered sufficiently bad
luck in Itself, without the fear of any
further misfortunes that may result
from it. After donning their new Eas
ter garment the English country peo
ple dined off tansy pudding and bacon
