JOYFUL EASTER BELLS.

In 1899, when Napoleon's armies were
sweeping over the continent, Massena,
one of his generals, appeared suddenly
on the heights above the little town of
Feldl1irch on the Austrian frontier. 1t
was Easter morning, and the sun glitter
ing on the weapons of the invaders filled
the villagers with terror. The town coun-
Gil hastily assembled to consult what
was to be done. Defense was impossible.
Should a deputation be sent to Massena
with the keys of the town and petition
that he treat the place with mercy?
Then the old dean of the church stood
Up. sit is Easter day." he said. 1--WE
have been reckoning our own strength,
and that fails. Let us ring the bells and
have service rs usual and leave the mat
ter in higher hands" His words pre-
vailed. Then all at once from three or
four church towers in Field irch the
bells began to clang joyful leas, and
the streets filed with worshipers h.ssen-
ing to the church.
The French heard with surprise and
alarm the sudden clangor of joy bells,
and concluding that the Austrian army
had arrived in the night to relieve the
place Massena suddenly broke up his
camp, and before the bells had ceased
ringing not Frenchman was to be seen.

EASTER MARBLES.

German children have game of mar
bles played only at Easter. The Easter
eggs are cut off squarely, perhaps one
third Of the distance from the broad
end. They are then set up, say, three or
four feet from the wall and in triangular
positions. Three or four may be set at
once. Sides are chosen if there are more
than two players. Then the children
roll their marbles with a deft thud
against the wall or Dashboard. If in
the rebound marble touches one Of the
eggs, it becomes the property of the side
to which the marble belongs. Then the
opposite side must "set up" and the
game is only won when all the eggs are
captured by one side Candy animals
and cake people who are able to stand
alone are often victims in this war of
marbles
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1893-03-31

expected until the latter part of April
they did not wear their garments until
then, and as Easter is great holiday the
women by natural transition wore their
new things on that day as we do on the
Fourth of July. Little by little the habit
spread, and France took it up. find as
proof of this in an old French book of
fashions, "There may be danes who
now refrain from wearing their new
bonnets for the spring until Easter Sun
day, as until then the weather is unset
tied"
And in that same book find an illus
and wonderful shape, described in these
words, SIN this bonnet art makes wealth
ashamed"
In this book, which is Cabinet des
Nodes" published in April, 1856, is first
mentioned the Easter bonnet. as "a black
chapeau la Maltalse 1t Is bordereu
with ribbon en- diademe; the crown
surrounded with bunch Of rose colored
Grape, forming several knots; aigret
formed of black cocks plumes and one
large tuft of white plumes." With this

The remarkable hats published here
with are from the papers of the period
viz, 1885, 1856 and ireland with them
are worn the robe en- fourreau, the robe
en- chemise and the redingote ajustee,
and keen eyes can find many points Of re-
semblance to our present modes.
Icannot leave the cabinet des Modes"
of 1856 without making one delicious ex-
tract, which proves that the gushing
fashion writer is not of modern growth:
"Our merchants Of fashion make the
past and will make the future centuries
ashamed as they will necessarily degen-
crate, because that is always the fate Of
that which has reached perfection.

Next morning was Easter morn. Or
course we were all up long before sun
rise, for no one in the Tyrol would miss
seeing the sun dance on Easter"
"You don't really mean to say that the
sun dances?" asked Nellie. looking up
into grandma's face.
Did you mover hear of the sun dane
ing ON Easter NORM" asked grandma in
return. "Why, the children of the east
ern Alps from early infancy are told of
this, and it is said that the season of Lent,
with its penitence and sorrow having
passed away, the sun on Easter morn,
starting new year full Of hope and
promise after the washing away of sin,
rises so full of happiness that it dances
