Then you couldn't git along wif 'em. They wa'nt satisfied to quarrel wif me, but dey had to go an' get married an' quarrel wif dere husbands. "Now, I never stan' no such doin's, an' I tell 'em so.

Coffee blots out the sunshine from many a home by making the mother, or some other member of the house hold, dyspeptic, nervous and irritable. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one. A Wis. mother writes: -"I was taught to drink coffee at an early age, and also at an early age be came a victim to headaches, and as I grew to womanhood these headaches became a part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from them. "About five years ago a friend urged me to try Postum. I made the trial and the result was so satisfactory that we have used it ever since. "My husband and little daughter were subject to bilious attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since we began using Postum in stead of coffee. I no longer have headaches and my healt/h is perfect." If some of these tired, nervous, ir ritable women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Postum they would find a wonderful change in their life. It would then be filled with sun shine and happiness rather than weari ness and discontent. And think what an effect it would have on the family, for the mood of the mother is largely responsible for the temper of the chil dren. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

It means that, while life on • earth is filled with un certainties, our loved ones who have gone are beyond the reach of uncer tainties and sorrow, and that they are in the home which is, and is to be, our home. And Easter means that in the rising of one who was the first fruits of the resurrection, our re union with our dear ones who are in liim was made, not a matter of hope, but a matter of certain knowledge. Let us not only rejoice in this Easter victory, but let us honor the day by bringing some one, who has not yet aid hold on this joy, into a knowledge if the truth.—Sunday School Times. AN EASTER SCHEME "I'm going to bury this chop bone ght here." "Guess I'll see if a little attention will help my scheme any." "Well, well; how prise?" Is this for enter jfestival of faster and Jnr«TStintf Mltrrr * ft ASTER—the most beautiful and poetic of all modern religious observances—goes back to very early times. In primitive days a spring festival w as associated with special nature deities, but the Christian ritual various it passed into principally through the Jewish feast of the Passover. This, in the early traditions of the wandering Bedouin Semites, was a sheep-shear ing festival, of which the principal feature was the sacrificial offering ol the paschal lamb to Yahwe in the month of Nlsan, in the spring, which marked the beginning of the oriental summer. In the agricultural stage ol Semitic evolution it underwent corre sponding changes, and unleavened bread—the first bread made of the early harvest grain which begins tc ripen about the mtfnth of April in Palestine and other Semitic lands— was added. These primitive agricul tural festivities were eventually com bined with the beginning of the Jew ish national life that followed upon the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Similar spring festivals, associated with special gods and goddesses and involving the sacrifice of lambs, sheep or cattle, were held among other Se mites and even in Cyprus, where such sacrifices, about April 2, were held sacred to Astarte. Certain ceremo nies were observed in honor of the renewal of nature's fertility at this time; the bonds of kinship were drawn closer by the meal which formed a part of the festivities, and was accompanied with joyous songs and other manifestations of an exu% berant nature-worship. After the beginning of our era the churches of Asia Minor, among whose members was a great number of Jud aizing Christians, kept their paschal festival on the same day as that of the Jewish Passover—that is on the 14th of Nisan. The churches of the west, however, remembering that Christ arose from the dead on a Sun day, kept their anniversary on the Sunday after the 14th of Nisan. This went on quietly for a time. Then con troversies arose about A. D. 158, and continued off and on with consider able acrimony during several centu ries. Constantine at the Oecumenical council of Nice (A. D. 325) had it de creed that the day should be cele brated—not on the day of the Jewish Passover—but on the Sunday follow ing. At the same time the bishop of Alexandria was appointed to give no tice of the proper day to the pope and other patriarchs "because of the Egyp tians' pre-eminence as astronomers. This, however, did not permanently settle the question, or to be more ac curate, other disputes arose on the subject in the course of time. However this may he, Easter be came one of the three great Christian festivals—the other two being Christ mas and Whitsuntide. From the early days of Christianity Easter has been accounted. If anything, the greatest of the three. On Easter morning the early Christians greeted one another reverently with the words: "Christ is risen," to which the man addressed gravely replied: "Christ is risen In deed," or "hath appeared unto Simon." This quaint custom has been pre served in the Greek church. In the east the old name was retained and the festival of the resurrection was known as "the paschal Feast." In the sixth of the Ancyran canons, how ever, it is called "the Great Day." As for the etymology of the English Easter, it is sought In Eostre—the name of a Saxon nature deity, whose feast was celebrated In the spring with bonfires and rejoicing. As every one knows, Easter is a movable feast, changing according to the full moon that comes after the vernal equinox, or March 21. If the full moon chances to come on a Sunday. Easter is held on the following Sunday. In certain localities special cakes were oaked and distributed at this time. This custom prevailed not only in antiquity but survived down to mod ern times—notably in England. The Passover bread also belongs to this series of survivals. At Chester, Eng land, the day was marked with a great football game. Other games were also played, and even women played team games. Everywhere It was a festival of joy. In the east it is known as "the Bright Day." Dances and farcical exhibitions were held and even the clergy in the pulpit told funny stories, stirring their hear ers to laughter (risus paschalis). This was put a stop to by the reform ers of the sixteenth century. A Big Shortage in Seeds. From almost all sections comes the re port of frightful shortages in seed corns; also in some varieties of seed barley, outs, rye, wheat, llax, clovers and the early varieties of potatoes. This Is "particularly noticeable in the great corn and oat and potato growing states. Thus: The great states of Nebraska and Iowa are suffering from a dearth of seed corn as never before.
