Having ami hoarding theso treasure
. whluh wore to Any au Important part
In the jiurehasii of n lovely "Kastor
bonnet," aunt Umlly had contcmptouus
ly called it, when Ruby had said In a
pleading tone, "Hut, auntie, all the
girls are going to have pretty new
hats to wear on ICaster Sunday.''
"Unstcr bonnets, indeed 1" snapped
Aunt Kmlly. "Girls in my time didn't
think eternally about bonnets i and
Kastor Sunday wasn't made a show
day for bonnets, either."
"If I could have tho eggs, auntie,"
pleaded Ruby, Ignoring hor last re
marks. "Well, take 'em I don't oarc, if you
can save enough 'tween now mid then.
You'll have to havo li bonnet at any
rato shortly after Kastor."
Ruby ran joyfully out into the coop
to gather the first instalment, after
giving Aunt Kniity an alTectlouato lit
tle hug.
"That child always gets tho best of
mo," smiled tho spinster Aunt, grimly,
who had been mother and aunt for
many years, nearly eighteen, now, sinco
her dearest and youngest sister had
died. No one know whatever had
becomo of gay, wild, dissipated Will
Brown, Ruby s father, whom peoplu
said onco had been Emily's lover, and
who had deserted her for tho younger
sister, pretty Helen.
Tho eventful morning had como on
which Ruby's egga woro to bo dispos
ed of. Blithely and gaily sho started
forth, a neat willow basket on hor arm,
her eyes shining like twin stars, and
chocks rivaling summer roses. A stray
robin chirped dubiously over-head in
tho budding, but leafless trees, and
visions of tho "Easter hat" iloated be
fore Ruby's vision, with which thu
young curate, who has just settled at,
"Caworth village" church, should bo
ensnared ; for all tho girls, Aunt Emi
ly said, "woro easting sheep's oyesi
that way.''Ruby tripped along in tho
crisp March air, satistied with herself
and tho whole world, when, alas 1 foi'
human hopes and joys how dueling,
Ruby caught her foot in somo tangled
weeds, and fell headlong upon her
precious basket of eggs, and for a mo
ment felt as if tho wholo world had
crushed" all tho joy and happiness out
of her young heart and life. In her
great sorrow sho gavo vent to tho ejac
ulation, "I wish I was dead !" as sho
slowly arose from the ruins of all hor
(eggs) hopes.
"Can I bo of any asssstancc T" asked
somo ono behind her.
Ruby started and looked around, to
encounter tho amused smile on tho
young curato's face.
"I hardly think anyono can remedy
this disaster," stammered Ruby, dis
mally viewing tho mass at hor feet.
"Eggsactly," laughed Mr. Howard.
"Don't laugh 1" said Ruby, suddenly
bursting into tears.
Don't cry I beg. I will try not to
laugh," ho said anxiously.
"How foolish I am,'' said Ruby, ,
bravely trying to smile j "but I have i
lost my Easter hat." 1
Your Easter hat T" ho asked, a little
nou-plusscd. '
Yen.
"With thoso egss I should havo
bought it 1" sighed Ruby.
"Hem I Well, is it absolutely neo
essary to have Easter hats, Miss
Brown !"
m"Oh. no !"
"Still, ovcyrono does, yon know," said
Ruby ,gravcly.
"No. I did not know it before. Do
you not think you could enjoy Easter
without a now hat, Miss Brown f ho
asked, looking into tho sweet face
scarchingly.
"Oh, yes, I could," replied Ruby,
blushing rosily. I think 1 havo been a
little vain, and I am punished in this
way.
And Ruby laughed quite merrily.
"Not one left to tell tho tale," ho
answered, joining in her laughter.
"Only on my dress ami mantle,"
laughinly said Ruby ; "that will toll
all."
"Allow mo to remove a few flocks
from your hair."
And ho bent forward with a dainty
cambric handkerchief, removing tho
golden spota from tho soft, curling
brown hair; both faces had taken on an
added huo of pink.
"May 1 walk back with you t" ho
askod a littlo eagerly, as she turned to
go home, after their united efforts to
clean tho basket which they partly
succeeded in doing.
Permission was shyly given, and
soon they were chatting like old friends,
and Ruth was surprised that sho felt
no greater disappointment in tho loss
of her "Easter itat."
Ruby went to church on "Easter
Sunday'' with her winter's hat, and tho
Row Clinton Howard thought tho face
so sweet and good beneath it, that all
tho new "Easter hats" sank into insic-
niticance in contrast ; but Ruby look
ed around at the pretty sprays of rose
buds, mignonette, violets and music.
and could not help but feel a little pang
of envy. How could alio know that
tho yountt curato was not admirini tho
pretty faces so sweetly adorned ! And
now could sho know that while the
organ scut forth its grandest music, tho
thought had como to him that another
Kastor. nutty Urown should wear an
"Easter hat," and it should bo bridal

Germ Theory jf Disease A theory
advanced by the ablest and best inves
tigators and scientists of tho times. It
supposes thu surfaco of tho oaith, tho
air nud wnlorto bu inhabited to a grea
ter or less extent witli a peculiar growth
of tho lowest form of fungi common
ly tunned baoturi.i, whose power of re
production, under favorable conditions
is so great that u single germ will in
crease to lifu-i'ii milium in twenty-four
hours time, ami unchecked in its increale
would grow n a mass of eight
hundred tons, in threo days' lime, if
space and food lie furnished. There is nj
condition under which i' can bu said to be
absent, unless it lie from tire or air
tillered through eottoudiatliiig in nu
morons layers. A single drop of water
containing a germ, put Into water
boiled, tlltcicd and thus freed from
bacteria, will grow murky in a day or
two from thu development of new
germs. When it is considered that it
requires about forty billion germs id
weigh one grain, somo remote idea can
bo had of tho capacity of germ repro
duction. Professor "John . Tyndall, in
a lato work, elaborately treats of tho
intlucnco of germs in tho propagation
of disoaso and charges upon this cause,
tho inception and development of
very many of tho a.lmonts most in
jurious to man. Professor Pastettr,
an eminent French savant, has car
ried his original and beautiful experi
ments so far, and fiom them deduced
such practical results as very greatly to
diminish the number of cases of an
thrax among sheep and chicken chol-,
ora among fowls, proving his theory1
that these arc essentially and actually
germ diseases. Thoso germs are car
ried into tho system through tho lungs,
the stomach and possibly tho skin, but
through tho lungs chiefly. Onco in
tho system, they begin to develop,
poisoning tho blood, invading tho
nerve centers, disturbing tho functual
activity of tho great organs of the
body and inducing a general impair
ment of thu vital processes. They are'
the causo of fevers, rheumatism,
Blight's diseaeo of tho kidneys, pneu
monia, blood poisoning, liver disease,
diphtheria nnd many other ailments.
Lately Professor Koch, a famous Ger
man physician, has proved that con-'
sumption of tho lungs is due to this
cause tho prcsenco of a peculiar germ.
When tho circulation is bouiiding,
tho nerves elastic and tho system all
aglow with life and energy, tho germs
seem to develop poorly, i at all. But
with weakened nerves, poor digestion
or malassimilation of food or a lower
ing of vitality from any cause, a1
change ensues, and in this "impoverish
ed and weakened fluid tho germ finds
a genial homo and develops until symp
toms of disease are distinctly manifested.
This is seen in every-day cxperienco of
all. Tho healthy man resists tho in-:
tluonces around him and does not tnko,
cold, while thoso whoso systems
havo becomo ,veak from any cause'
readily contract colds. This is on1
tho samo principle as the germ theory.,
Tho germs attack anv weakened spot

upon w, ileum ineir propagation, n is
plain thcreloro that it is only by forti
fyiiig tho weak portions oi th'o body
that tho Kcrms of disease can bo resist
ed and driven from tho system. But
this has proved almost an impossibility
heretofore, nnd it has been tho study of
physicians for years how best to ao
complish it. Within the past few
years, however, a preparation has been
attraction great attention, not ouly
.1 1 a , I
uiroiignoui uiu enure land, out, amongi
the medical profession and scientists
generally, which is based upon this
theory, and it may be safely said, no
remedy has nover been found which
can so successfully place tho system in
a condition to resist tho germs of dis
ease as Warner's Safo Cure. This ar
ticle is unquestionably tho best and
most cfllcicut that has ever been dis
covered for this purpose, and
"John, say, John ! does tho encyclo
pedia advertise Warner's Safe Cure !"
"I should not wonder, dear, it's a
grand remedy, and that pamphlet we
received tho other day stated that Dr.
Gunn, of tho United States Medical
College endorsed it. At all eveuts the
wonderful cures it is accomplishing en
title it to bo honorably noted among
tho great discoveries of tho present
century."
However the facta abovo stated may
be, tho truth remains, that tho germ
theory of disease is tho correct ono nnd
that the great remedy mentioned is the
only ono which has ever been found
that can. put tho system in a condition
to kill these germs before they obtain a
hold upon tho body, and uudermino
tho life.
