WOKEN MUST SLEEP. Avoid Nervous Prostration. If you are dangerously sick what is the first duty of your physician? lie quiets the nervous system, lie deadens the pain, and you sleep well. Friends ask, “what is the cause ?" I d the answer com s ir* pitying fe nes, nervous prostration. It came upon you 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 iu nervous agony praying for sleep. Mrs. A. IIahtlee. Ton ought to have known that when yon ceased to be regular in your courses, and you grew irritable with out cause, that there was serious trouble somewhere. You ought to know that indigestion, exhaustion, womb displacements, fainting, dizziness, headache, and backache send the nerves wild with affright, and you cannot sleep. Mrs. Hartley, of "2 1 W.

Carrie** Sharp Reply Several invitations of a more or less farcical nature have been sent to Mrs. Carrie Nation regarding a New York visitation. The latest was a sugges tion that she try her hand at reform ing tiie Four Hundred, reference being made to the burlesque saloon smash ing act at Senator Clarke’s valentine ball. She replied. "The society people of New York probably need reforma tion as badly as any class of people in America, not excepting saloonkeep ers. If they want to burlesque me when I am trying to save men’s souls I do not care. They had bottu employ their time driving vice out of their own city. ’ MARLY ROM. Mn. Julia A.

F. 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 hud settled in her kidneys, and left her with very severe bearing down pains and almost constant backache. It al most carried her off. Mrs. Mallahan tells the story this way: "I caught a cold last winter, which I neglected until It settled in my kid neys, causing severe bearing down pains and almost constant bachachr*. My health had previously been so good that I paid little attention to these symptoms, until the disease had gone so far that my doctor entertained Lut a slight hope of my recovery. "Fortunately one of our Lodge Mem bers mentioned IXidd’s Kidney Pills. Her description of the cures they ha 1 effected sounded like a fairy tale, but I sent Tor 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 but the highest praise for them.” Many very valuable lives have b^en saved by the timely use of Dod 1 s Kidney Pills, and not a few of the » have been in Owosso and other neigh boring Michigan towns. There seems to be no case of kidney trouble or bach-acho that Dodd’s Kidney Piiis will not cure. They are 50c. a box, six boxes for $2.50.

A long list of vehicles, outside ears and cabs, some of them battered and shaky, others sufficiently well looking, was gathering on two sides of the green, for Dublin, you know, is the “car drivingest 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 no longer called the jaunting" but the outside, car. and there is another charming word lost to trie world. There was formerly an in side car, too, but it is almost unknown in Dublin, though still found in some of the smaller towns. An outside car has 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 say that the passenger sits outside of tli*e wheels on the one, inside on the other. There are seats for two per sons over each of the two wheels, and a "dicky" for the driver in front.shouUl ho need to use it. Ordinarily he sits on one side, driving, while you perch ou the other, and thus you jog along, each seeing your own side of the road and discussing the topics of the day across (he “well,” as the covered-in center of the car is called. There are 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 it a hit unsociable when the com panion occupies the opposite side. To me a modern Dublin oar with rubber lites and a good Irish horse is the jol liest 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 yen want to enjoy it. Hold the rail if you must, at first, though it's just as bad form as cling ing to your horse's mane while riding m th^ Row. Your driver will take ail the chances that a crowded thorough fa, e ghes him; he would scorn to ler.\c more than an inch between your f' ■ 1 and a Guinness' beer dray; he will shake your flounces and furbelows in the \ ery windows of the passing trains, but he is beloved by the gods and noth ing ever happens to him.

I Kaster, kindling grass and clod With the eyes that have seen God. I • Sam Lee was a great chicken-fancier, for a small boy, and like most people i with a fad had no patience with the fads of others; so when one day he i was telling his mother of a lovely brood of bantams he had seen (“Not I much bigger than bumblebees, mother, ! honest!”>,be was provoked when Grace tame in with a basket of eggs to color for Easter, and took off his mother’s attention by her questions. Easter eggs!" he scornfully said. “What good arc they? You can't eat ’em! You can’t hatch ’em! It’s all just nonsense!” Grace retorted hotly, and a quarrel seemed very near indeed; but just then grandma snapped tier finger* 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 bis a pretty nest of moss and wild flow ers bolding 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 his discomfiture? Sam plucked up pride, and even was gener ous enough to admire the baskets. “When lie went to his room to get ready for church, he 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 crowed! “Hurrah!” cried Sam, as he dashed ii —- .i ,.i i. “THERE'S WHERE GRANDMA'S THOUGHT STRUCK.” downstairs to plant a resounding kiss on each of grandma's soft cheeks. "Those Easter eggs are something like!"—Lizzie E. Johnson. Sfhoolboy'i Tribute to Kurrnni;|i«. How dose thut veteran friend of birds and animals and trees, John Bur roughs, gets to the heart of mankind is illustrated by a letter which he re cently received from a schoolboy. The letter, as printed In an article by Clif ton Johnson in Outing is as follows: "I recently got one of your books through the mail, marked ‘second-class mat ter.’ But it isn't second-class matter. I have read It. and it is first-class mai ter. The binding and gtt-ap may be second class, but the matter is first class." The boy wrote to John Bur roughs as he would wolte to ony other boy friend whom he considered had been dealt with unjustly. He had read the book, and he knew and wanted to assure his friend that what he wrote was first-clans matter in spite of what any postmaster general said. 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 a time when the season was still pagan in its character. Outers, again, are di rectly connected with the Christian ob servance of the festival. The early Christians in many countries used 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 said, is still ob served iu 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 the Eastern nations as the symbol of the universe, and its breaking at that time has 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 anti sprin kled with holy water. In later times the coloring and decorating of the eggs was introduced, and in a royal roll of the time of Edward I., which is preserved in the Tower of London, there is an entry of lSd. for 400 eggs, to he used for Easter gifts. In the last few years artificial eggs of can«Jy, china and other materials, and egg-shaped articles of ail kinds, have largely replaced the real eggs as Easter gifts. The shop windows each ■ 1 «I I • »' "CHRIST IS RISEN! ” year at this season testify to the in genuity expended In devising new and attractive objects in which the idea of the Easter egg shall be preserved. In Paris these Easter presents are gener ally given on the first day of Passion Week. All are emblematic of eggs, and are known as "otufs des Paque,” or "Paschal eggs." | ^ Children’s Easter : It was 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 be 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, Ol'T 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 he had I the greatest fancy for pins. He would i pull them out of evory 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 Naiyiv and Kitty were a little bit afraid, but Billy went first, floundering along *n the hay, just as you wade through a snow drift. "Guess there are nests on this beam," said Billy, “but it's so dark 1 can’t see. I’ll feel.” l~-— In went billy’s hand, and out it carat; in a second, with a loud "Ow!" "It's hornets or yellow-jackets or something!’ ’he streamed. "Fetch tho barn lantern, Kit, and I'll knock 'em out!" Kitty brought the lantern, and then ran to the other side of the barn, for fear of the yellow jackets. Billy held the lentern over hi3 hear and peeped In. What did he see? Not hornets, but pins. He had run his hand into Egypt’s own little "hidy-hole," where the sly little rogue had laid away a whole pile of his favorite treasures. No wonder they pricked like hornets. But what the queer old bird was saving them for I never knew. feature's Ea-tter Gir!. The gladsome Enstf r-tlde comes on. The sesame of spring; When birds begin to tune the voice, A summer's praise to sing. The leaves upon the trees bud forth. The daffodils unfold; All nature opens like a bud, The sun floods earth with gold. No more In this, our better age, Do maidens seek In as And costly bonnets to express Their Easter happiness. Tiie modern maid, with brimming health, Gives loeks a saucy curl; Brings forth her bike and natty suit— Site's Nature's Easter gtrl. 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 has been slightly altered, so that to have no new clothes to exhibit at th» 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 garments the English, country peo ple dined off tansy pudding and bacon or tunsy pudding and "good red her ring.” the tansy being the symbol of the bitter herbs commanded to be eaten at the Paschal feast. Through lho lung night of darkness and gloom We follow Thoe unto the opened tomb, And, standing by its side, Behold life glorified, Know Immortality, Because of Thee.

O heart, rejoice! Art blinded at the door Of thy safe tent? Thy Pilot went before. He leads thee In; then sing. "Ours is the victory, O suffering One, Because af Thee!” Homeless ere yet He knew the darkened tomb. Homeless henceforth no more; In each glad heart His home Wake! every flower of spring, And swell the Faster song, And every bird awing The praise prolong! Ktone That Hrlug* Lurk. A good deal has l>een heard of the ' Lia Fai!,” 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-Danaans, a mysteriou eastern race who conquered Ireland at that period. No one is quite clear as to their identity, but many savants sup pose them to have 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 Monarchs on it. Three of the 1 uatha-de-Danaan queens regnant who sat upon the stone of destiny re joiced in the curious name of Fodhla, Bam ha 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 h'.s coronation at Scone, and “froze on to it when he had it. It never went back to Ireland, and many historians late 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. Subjected Prince and I,o*t Job. German papers give currency to a rumor that the retirement of Mr. Go shen front the British admiralty de partment was the result of his de termination not to favor a royal sail or. He ordered that Prince i/ouis of Battenberg lepresent the admiralty at the funeral of a naval oiflcer. The prince refuted on the ground that he was of royal rank. He was upheld by Queen Victoria, but Mr. Goschen per emptorily ordered tho chesty prince ling to do as ha was bid. Batteuberg obeyed orders, but Goschen eventually retired from the department. I'Orrt tiovrtnn'4 Fame. Lord Rowton, who celebrated his sixty-second birthday recently, has earned fame in several directions. He owes his title, to which there is no heir, to the fact that he was Lord Beaconsfleld's private secretary and also to the fact that he is a favorite with the queen. It is as the “noble lodging house keeper" that his lord ship is now best known, however. He is the chief proprietor of thr«»p, if not four, of the buildings about London where a single man ran obtain a night's comfortable lodging for six pence. llnrhurlc Pnnl.ltmc-iit In Kiticlanil.
