Games to Be PLAYED With Eous.

Egg football will be found to be
an entertaining way to pass an afttr-

be pricked in both ends of the egg
shell and the contents blown out of it

Immortality

The miracle of the rejuvenating
spring had been witnessed by many
thousand generations before men
dared claim as 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 today
celebrating. certified the validity Of
that belief. the season in which Ma
ture annually illustrates the appoint
ed victory of life over death has re-
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 Eastertde
1t reJoices as men rejoice in the pres
ence of deliverance from fcar-with
recollected voices and bosoms girt
with thankfulness.
The austerity of the earth and SLY
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 loveliness.
Nature is timidly yearning 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

fact: coinciding with the ancient fes-
tivals which celebrated the immemor-
ial human hope of Immortality. dimly

Picture EuqS.

Dyed eggs can be prettily etched
with a penknife by any one that
knows how to draw. Rabbits, chick
ems, faces. fairies-there is no end to
the list of things that may be scratch
ed upon the hard colored surface
with a sharp point. A fortunate little
girl of Philadelphia once owned an
egg upon which the whole Easter
story of the bunny had been illus
trated by penknife etchinSs. You
know the Germans believe that Bunny
lays the colored eggs we have at Eas,
tertime.
Faster eggs may also be pretti.y
decorated, even if there is no one near
clever with brush. pencil or pen
knife. Copy the design desired for
reproduction from book or magazine
using a piece of tracing paper. After
the egg has been boiled hard, cover
it with the latter. under which has
been placed a 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. Even hair may be furnished
by Dast.lg white wool, the frayed ends
of rope or horsehair upon the eggs.
Netkwear appropriate to the character
should be cut from paper and pasted

Wales, who makes point of seeing
all the proprietary exhibitions as well

in these little visits. which are made
as much for her own pleasure as for
the sake of giving encouragement to
the native artists. AS a general rule
her highness makes purchases of wa,

Why Women Never Age.

The women. God bless them.
They're never at rest;
All resting brings rust
To corrodc and molcst.
They're always caressing. or pressing or
dressing.
Pursuing their sewing or doing
Their best.
The women. good cheer to
Their restless delight.
They shop all the day
And they dance all the night
They always are tripping. or shipping, or
clipping.
Pursuing their faddng and gaduinS.
But bright.
The women. God keep them.
They're trucr than gold
They're warm in the winter,
In summer they're cold.
And that is the reason. and it isn't trca-
son.
Tc say why they never. ah, never
Grow old.

FIVE A LUCKY NUMBER.
Universal Favorite With Those Whe
Throw the Dice.

Dice seems to have fancy for
fives," said a clerk in cigar store.
We get sets of them frequently that
show many more hves than any other
number. We call it running to fives.

they nearly always select fives when
they begin to roll. have never seen
the dice show partially for any num-
Der other than fives, and | do not un-
however.
THE five and six sides of dice
should be the least frequently thrown.
for they are lighter. having more
holes. but this does not seem to make
any difference. The fives keep on
coming just the same.
"Of course. if one number shows
Oftener than another it means that
the dice are not properly made: but
it does seem curious that this irregu-
side come up instead of some other.
Since l have been here we have had
number of sets of dice that ran to
fives.
Another peculiar thing is that nine
men out of ten who roll the dice in
this game choose fives or skies. 1t is
the rarest thing that any one takes
one of the smaller numbers. 1t may
be superstition, but il so almost all
men are superstitious. for they will
have nothing to do with aces or twos.
And those who win almost always
win with the larger numbers. Fives
are the favorite. and are selected
most often. louisville Courier Jour
