A Heavy Load to Carry
Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill health Why Bo
cause a disordered stomach does not per
mit the food to be properly digested and
its products assimilated by the system
The blood is charged with poisons which
come from this disordered digestion and
In turn the nerves are not fed on good
red blood and we see symptoms of nerv
ousness sleeplessness and general break
down It is not head work nor over phy
sical exertion that does it but poor stom
ach work With poor thin Tblood the
body is not protected against the attack

FIRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE f
How a Minister Came to Buy It and
Why He Sold It
The Rev Francis Winter was a na
tive of Boston and a graduate of Har
vard college He went to Bath early in
17G7 and after preaching on probation
for the orthodox church was invited
to settle which Invitation he accepted
ne was ordained in the autumn of the
same year He went to Bath on horse
back in company with Lemuel Stan
dish Mr Winter came from Boston
where he had associated with such em
inent men as Adams Otis and Warren
himself becoming an ardent patriot
taking the lead in the Revolutionary
measures adopted in Bath during that
memorable period
Mr Winter married Miss Abigail Al
den In 17G8 and It Is through her that
the Winters of today trace their an
cestry back to the Puritan Maiden of
Plymouth
Three years after the marriage of the
Rev Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit a sister of Mrs
Winter living in Connecticut and In
tended to ride all the way on horse
back but Mrs Winter became so fa
tigued that Mr Winter sold one of the
horses for a carriage and harness It
was the first carriage that ever came
into Maine and was called a chaise
Traveling was so difficult that two ne
groes were employed to accompany
them with shovels and axes to clear
the road Several times the chaise had
to be taken apart and lifted over fallen
trees The ministers parishioners
thought that it was putting on too
much style for their pastor to ride In a
carriage and In consequence Mr Win
ter sold it This was in 1771 It was a
two wheeled chaise the body resting
on leather braces which were attached
to wooden springs Lewiston Journal
A DAZZLING EFFECT
Old Time Illumination With Lanterns
and Candles
Iu these days of electric lightswith
nil their capabilities for brlllianF illu
mination it is amusing to read what
the subjects of George II considered
a dazzling effect A Frenchman visit
ing in London at the time of the coro
nation of that monarch in 1727 writes
enthusiastically In praise of the light
ing of the city as well as of a ban
quet display
Most of the streets writes M
Saussure are wonderfully well light
ed In front of each house hangs
a lantern or large globe of glass In
side of which is placed a lamp which
burns all night Large houses have
two of these suspended outside the
doors by iron supports Some even
have four
How one arc light would have daz
zled the good people of that day
When the coronation procession en
tered Westminster hall the writer
continues the light of day was begin
ning to fade Forty chandeliers in
shape like a crown hung from the ceil
ing each having thirty six wax can
dles
On the kings appearance all sud
denly lighted and every one in the
room was filled with astonishment at
the wonderful and unexpected illumi
natiou Little cords of cotton wool
Imperceptible to the eye saturated
with sulphur of saltpeter spirits of
wine and other ingredients had been
prepared and arranged so as to carry
the flame rapidly from one candle to
another The arrangement had been
so skillfully prepared that scarcely a
candle failed to take fire
For Dosinpr Oneself
A physician recommends rochelle
salts for amateur doctoring He says
that it is an excellent thing several
times a day to take as much of the salts
as may be put on a cent in a little wa
ter That will sweeten the stomach
and act as a very desirable spring
medicine He also speaks highly of
soda having no patience with those
timid people who have an Idea that It
is a dangerous dose doing some vague
harm to the coating of the intestines
Why everything we eat almost has
soda in it he cried in disdain It is
an admirable thing to take half ro
chelle salts and half bicarbonate of
soda as directed several times a day
I know of few gentler and still more
beneficent general medicines
A Poisonous Frog-
People in general look upon all spe
cies of the frog as being perfectly
harmless Should you be traveling in
New Granada United States of Colom
bia however you would do well to
let a certain little tree croaker severe
ly alone He secretes a poison equally
as deadly as that of the rattlesnake
It exudes from his skin in the shape of
a milky liquid and Is used by the na
tives as a poison for their arrows
Write as You Feel
If you would write to any purpose
you must be perfectly free from with

but in place of
these are almost
as spectacular
church ceremo

esneolallv in
j ideuce during
minating in tbe
elaborate Easter
services Then
all Rome be
comes a vast church and the different
church edifices are departments in the
larger scheme each contributing its
share to the geueral programme On
Easter day worshipers hurry from
church to church making the whole
round if possible Peasants touch el
bows with the old nobility and they
kneel together In prayer Devotion
like death levels all ranks The queen
of Italy often makes the rounds with
the rest Foreign lords and princes
and even members of royalty are in
the city by the Tiber at this season
and participate in the celebration with
the people
One peculiar ceremony is the climb
ing of the holy stairs which is done by
the pilgrims on their knees Prince
and peasant thus toll slowly up the
well worn steps together and kiss the
image of the Saviour at the top These
stairs are said to have belonged to
Pontius Pilate and to have been trod
den by Jesus at the time of the trial
They were brought from Jerusalem to
Rome by Helena the mother of Con
stantine in the fourth century
During a portion of holy week no
bells are heard in Rome In place
thereof small boys go about the streets
marking the hours with a quaint in
strument known as the triktrak a clap

ers of Imitation palms and worship
ers linger on the steps of St Peters
and other churches to buy these sym
bols of the day On Easter morning
priests may be seen on their way to
bless the breakfast of the people This
meal consists for the most part of eggs
and sausages and the blessing of it Is
considered essential by every devout
Catholic
Another quaint custom that is still
observed In Rome is that of spider
sweeping on Easter It is -meant to
typify cleansing Venders on the
streets have small brooms fixed at the
ends of long handles for the purpose

That his truth may make them free

In the new Ufa of the aprinj
See the symbols that proclaim hist
Christ the Kin
In the souls that have been quickened
By bis magical new birth
See proclaimed tho whitest spirit
That has ever touched the earth
For in them his resurrection
By a miracle divino
Still is seen Thsy are the branches
He the vine
As the world with song celestial
Wheels from shadow into day
As the seasons mark its turnings
Round the spiral of its way
As the winter melts in sunshine
And earths fresh robe comes to view
As in Natures resurrection
Comes the new
So from glory unto glory
Through the hidden world of mind
See the White Christ move forever
In the souls of humankind
And before his magic presence
Evil strife and error cease
While the race finds balm and healing
In his peace

With these all the webs are swept out
of the houses
Easter Is a glad holiday in the Catho
lic capital The feelings of the people
are in accord with the resurrection idea
the triumph of the Christ over death
The common salutation Is Happy
Easter and this salutation Is offered
not alone to acquaintances but to
strangers as well The bells ring out
joyfully and Rome becomes a great
musical instrument vibrating with
chimes In other times the season was
marked by a perfect carnival of form
a riot of ceremony In later days
something more of democracy and
simplicity has been introduced but

even yet the formal predominates
Some of these ceremonies are very im
pressivefor example the singing of
the Miserere in the glowing gloom of
Saturday evening For many years
the blessing offered by the pope him
self on the city and the world Urbi et
orbi on Easter day was always wit
nessed by a vast concourse of people
It took place from the steps of St Pe
ters and was followed by the joyous
ringing of bells and by the firing of sa
lutes

stood in the doorway a frown
wrinkling her pretty forehead
and something of tragedy in her
voice and gesture
I cant go she declared in evident
disappointment
Cant go Elizabeth he repeated
in perplexity Youre not ill What on
earth has happened
My hat she began and stopped
abruptly
Well he queried
Didnt come said she
Horrors he exclaimed He pulled
aside the curtains and looked out on
an ideal Easter morning Horrors
he repeated while the ghost of a
smile relaxed his firm mouth
Its no laughing matter said the
girl with some warmth
I know he said contritely Of
course It isnt Havent you another
hat
The girl glanced at him scornfully
Perhaps youd like me to wear a
winter hat she said
Exactly he said calmly I cer
tainly would It will be a tremendous
service at the Church of the Apostles
Menonl is to sing and theres to be a
string quartet from the Symphony
You dont imagine said she In
amazement that Id go to the Church
of the Apostles Easter Sunday wearing
my winter hat do you
He Bmiled patJently
I confess I had no proper realization
of the enormity of such an act said
he Would they put you out
The girl shrugged her shoulders In a
quaint little gesture of despair
Thats the man of it she said Of
course I cant hope to make you under
stand but the simple fact remains that
I cant go
All right he said cheerfully and
he resumed the seat he had vacated
when she entered the room
But youll go just tho eame she
said
AWne Never ho protested with
vuhemenco
I hate to keep you away from
church on tho only day In the year you
ever go she said
See here said he well compro
mise Well attend service this morn
ing at a place where your hat will not
be conspicuous at a place In fact
where they will never know whether
it Is of the winter variety or tho latest
Easter creation Will you go
Of course I will she replied
They took a suburban car and rode
to the end of tho route Then they
walked a mile or so along a secluded
road and presently turned Into a clump
of woods
Elizabeth looked about her with in
terest then turned to her companion
And where Is the church sho
asked
The groves were Gods first tem
ples he quoted serenely
I believe youre glad the hat didnt
come she said
He regarded her with quiet amuse
ment
I believe I am he returned
I dont believe my hat will be un
duly criticised here she said with a
meaning glance In his direction
And I shall have you all to my
self he said with content Lets
perch on the fence and have an Easter
service for two There is at least one
devout worshiper here he said point
edly
They climbed the low fence and sat
down on the top rider The air was
soft and It was freighted with the
smell of warm wet earth The sun
light through the branches made an
interwoven shadow fabric on the
ground Bird voices piped with a pleas
ant plaintiveness
Its good to be alive he comment
ed
Isnt it she said
And to be here he went on
Rather than at the Church of the
Apostles she asked
Decidedly he averred Ive much
more courage here
More courage she questioned
Yes More courage to make an
Easter confession he explained
Shall I be given absolution
That depends It isnt murder is
It
More like suicide I imagine he re
turned grimly You wont laugh at it
will you he said with very apparent
anxiety
The seal of the confessional you
know she said Certainly not
He thoughtfully studied a neighbor
ing tree The girl was covertly watch
ing him with curious eyes
Im almost afraid to confess he
said at length
It must be a grievous sin she ob
served
I fear youll think it Is said he
There was silence again for some mo
ments Then he straightened himself
and cleared his throat
I love you he said simply Thats
the confession
The color surged Into the girls face
She turned away her head so that her
face was hidden
Do I get absolution he asked
anxiously
No she said her head still turned
away
The ensuing silence was decidedly
tense The man broke it
Anyway Im glad I confessed he
said stoutly
The girl made no reply
Well he said finally I suppose
wed better go back
He helped her from the wall and
they walked back toward the road
The mans face was very grave He
could not see the laughter lurking In
the girls eyes
I thought perhaps you might have
surmised as much he said and his
voice was grave
Well I have she answered defi
antly
May I ask then why my confes
sion was not granted absolution he
said
Because well because Its its only
sins that are absolved she replied
And we owe It to the hat said he
That didnt come she laughed
softly T BLAIR EATON
Tho First Electric Train
The earliest public trial of a passen
ger boat driven by an electric motor
was that conducted by Professor Ja
cobl of St Petersburg In the year 1838
though for four years previously he
had successfully experimented with
electric traction in the privacy of his
own grounds The trial of Jacobis
vessel took place on the Neva and was
witnessed by a vast crowd of people
The boat was twenty eight feet long
and ten feet wide and carried fourteen
persons
It was not until four years later that
we find any record of a passenger car
riage driven by electricity on land and
in this case the Inventor was Alexan
der Davidson of Edinburgh The car
riage was sixteen feet long by seven
feet wide and was impelled for a mile
and a half at the rate of four miles an
hour on the Edinburgh and Glasgow
railway
The Game of the Sheep
Among the gypsies of Bosnia there
Is a curious game called the game of
the sheep
You know they skin a sheep or goat
In the east by dragging the skin off
whole over its head This skin the
Bosnians drip and grease most care
fully Then they tie up the four leg3
and the neck and blow it full of air so
that it looks like a very greasy badly
shaped sheep This Is thrown in the
middle of a ring and each man In turn
jumps on it with bare feet until one
succeeds in bursting it The lucky one
then gets a purse Such a funny sight
as it is to see them jump and sprawl
for of course if they do not strike it at
Just the right angle they slip on the
greasy surface as if it were a toboggan
slide and go sprawling
