AAI Ills and testameuts are supposed
Wv TO be necessary when man and
women have large estates, real or

people who have only a little property
are often careless about this duty. and
indisposed to attend TO it, Having lit

vague superstition, they put off consid-

Nobody likes to think Of death. To
make ones VIII indeed brings the in

occupying a healthfUl environment, we
should expect TO live out our days, to a
peaceful and ripe age. as strong in this
century at four score as men were at
forty 800 years ago.
Everything in our modern life, with
its comforts and luXuries, should make
for longevity. But sooner or later, we
must pass on and leave room on the
earth for our successors.
Therefore. knowing that we can take
nothing with US, whether we own much
or little, we should carefully look it
over and decide how it is to be divided.
In different localities, the laws differ,

egg football will be found to be
an entertaining way to pass an after
noon when several children are gath
cred together. First a small hole must
be pricked in both ends of the egg
shell and the contents blown out of ii;
gently and steadily so as not to break
the shell. This, of course, cannot be
done if the egg has been boiled. Then
long table is marked out with white
lines, gridiron fashion. The goal posts
are erected at the table ends, made
of crossed pieces of wood if the occa-
sion be formal one-two books
standing five inches apart will serve
admirably for an impromptu game.
Choosing sides, the children try t.

by blowing it across the table, the

The Russian Festival.

The Russian Easter, with it's festival
joy, comedies with the beginning Of
spring. So very early is it-for that
latitude-that on the preceding Sun
day. Palm Sunday, pussy willows are
used instead of palms, in every Rus
sian dwelling, from the emperor's pal
ace to the hut of the poorest peasant,
simply because they are the only plart
which shows sign of life in that land
of the far north. Easter in Europe
corresponds with the Easter of the
western world occasionally. Gradual
ly it falls week later, though occa-
sionally the interval is much greater
which is now Is days out of reckoning
with the Gregorian calendar used by
the nations of the west. A move
ment is on foot to provide an entirely
new calendar, which the Russian
mathematicians and astronomers

than the Gregorian, and run for cen.

correction. AS the Gregorian calendar
emanated from Roman Catholic
sources, they will have none of that.
But something must be done; other.
wise, say the progressive scientists
who favor the change, Easter will
eventually fall in July, Christmas in
the spring, and so on.
Easter is the grand festival of the
Russian year; therefore, for weeks be
forehand every one is busy with the
sort of preparations which people in
America make before Christmas. A
gift, be it only gaily colored egg, is
almost obligatory, though all gifts are
known as eggs" The grand feature
of the day is, of course, the church
service. In fact, the church festivals
are also the national festivals of Rus.
STA Though the emperor is not, as for
eigners imagine, the head of tAe
church,; and almost every function"
in court or private life, begins witt
religious service of some sort. About
the only exceptions to this rule are
balls and theatrical spectacles. The
mathis service begins at midnight, and
is followed by the liturgy. The usual
service in the middle of the morning
is omitted. and most people are in
their beds. recovering from the open
eyed night. Naturally, the most mag
nifcent celebration is at the cathedral
of the Winter Palace. in st. Peters
burg. where the presence Of the en-
peror. empress and all the court in
full dress and uniforms adds TO tne
magniheence Of the service as a spec

A Wonderful Discovery.

q sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story OF G. W..
Gray, who after special treatment

Bright's Disease. Brights Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by MI
Gray, there is d remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as little babe. MY

the egg has been boiled hard, cover
it with the latter, under which has
been placed piece of carbon paper,
such as stenographers use in copying
letters, care being taken that the
black side of the carbon paper is
against the egg. Trace the faces or
the egg, guided by the lines drawn
upon it. Eten hair may be furnished
by pasting white wool. the frayed ends
of a rope or horsehair upon the eggs.
Neckwear appropriate to the character
should be cut from paper and pasted
on the end of the egg.

NATURAL GAS IN ENGLAND.
Struck In 1882, No Use Seems to Have
Been Made of II.

During the last summer, says an
English magazine of 1882, a bore was
put down at tombstone, to the depth
of $50 feet for the purpose of procur-
ing water. The boring was mostly
through shale or till.
At the depth of 1875 feet, or thereby,
the workmen heard a noise proceed
ing from the bore, which they sup
posed to be from water rushing up
ward, but which proved to be from
gas.
The bore was sunk twenty-five feet
deeper, when an abundant supply Of
water was procured, so as nearly to

gas, however. did not fail. 1t con-

ing noise, and, when light is ap-
piled, burns with a blue flame.
No analysis has been made of the
gas, but from the accounts of the
workmen it may safely be concluded
that it is hydrogen. The quantity is
so considerable as nearly to be suf.
licient to supply two or three gas
burners of the ordinary size. 1t gives
out little light in combustion, prob
ably from the absence of carbon in
its composition.

Immortality

The miracle of the rejuvenating
spring had been witnessed by many
thousand generations before men
dared claim as "a certainty the great
hope which its parable inculcated--
before the human soul dared boldly
believe that it was itself as deathless
as the germ of life slumbering over
winter in the buried seed.
Since the Conqueror of Death, by
the triumph which the world is to-day
celebrating, certified the validity Of
that belief, the season in which Ma
ture annually illustrates the appoint
ed victory of life over death has be-
come the most significant of all festi-
walls. At Christmas the world is glad
as children are glad-with the uncon.
sidered glee of youth. At Eastertide
it rejoices as men rejoice in the pres
ence of deliverance from fear-with
recollected voices and bosoms grE
with thankfulness.
The austerity of the earth and sky
prepares to yield to the conquering
sweetness of spring. Already the
winds caress with an unfamiliar soft.
ness, the earth beguiles with dimly
green prophecy OF vernal loneliness.
Nature is timidly yearring heaven.
ward. But the hymn of awakening
life is not mere telluric nor aerial-it
sings out in the souls of men who
have considered the mystery of life
and Its persistency under the sod and
through the chill of winters appar-
ent death. To such Easter Day-set
in the midst of a season which wit
nesses, as far as anything earthly can
witness, to the verify Of a spiritual
fact; coinciding with the ancient fes-
rivals which celebrated the immemor-
ial human hope of Immortality, dimly
adumbrated in the dramaturgy of
Greek, Scandinavian and Aryan but
consecrated newly to the rising from
the tomb of the Man of Galilee-to
such Easter Day stands for the chief
est affirmation of religion, the most
consoling and heartening thought the.
mind and heart are justified in enter
tanning. That life does not shudder
and perish at the grave; that beyond
it somewhere in the warmth of Gods
sun and in the benignity of His near
er presence human spirits shall still
have part in the joy of life refined,
etherealized, made holy-neither phil
osophy nor religion has another teach
ing so solemnly precious as this.
