There is at this time but one single
policy; a combat without mercy until

While all of the children are sent out of

however, for any one to see how many
eggs are in the nests. One player is
chosen little red hen When the guests
return to the room each child in turn
asks: Where are your eggs, my little
red hen?" and she replies: They are
hidden away for Easter"
Then the questioner has one guess to
locate them, and she asks if the eggs
are in some nest which she sees The
first player may say: Are they in the
nest on the music cabinet The little
red hen always says Look and see.
When the player finds the eggs she may
keep them She also takes the >piace OF
the little red hen. AS the nests have
different numbers of eggs in them, the
children will not only be interested in
finding the eggs, but will be anxious to
see how many eggs each child finds.
There is added pleasure for the little
ones in taking their turns at being little

According to Carrera the principles
of chess could be applied to the game
Of life, The board may be considered
the field of life checkered with good
and evil. on which man is to play his
game and be rewarded according to his
deserts.
The pawns may be regarded as rep
resenting those feelings which are first
excited by circumstances and form
barriers to those stronger passions
which would be represented by the su-
perior pieces. The castle, moving on the
board in direct lines, represents that
innate sense of justice pervading every.
human breast. which. however at
tackled. when properly maintained can
not be conquered.
The knight eccentric in his move
ments but regulated by fixed principles
of action. portrays that feeling cf
honor which, deviating from the beaten
course, seeks for adventures. By the
walk of the bishop may be considered
the religious feeling which is continu
ally crossed by the movements of ordi-
nary life: as they never leave the color
of the square they start from, they are
typical of firm faith.
The queen typifies ambition. and the
king, moving only one square at time.
while every direction is open to his
choice, is highly characteristic of pru-
dence. He seldom moves unless forced.

Then all of the players open their pack

yellow corn. AS the smartest chick Is
the prize winner, he receives a little yel-
low chicken or some other Easter nov
city. During this game the children must
run with short steps, like chickens. This
feature not only adds to the amusement
of the little ones, but keeps the element
of roughness from appearing. Each

to receive his sovereign. and when he

are in doubt as to the character of
their reception. Thus their first i'm
preston on treading Mexican sail Is a
painful one. and the empress was so
affected that she was unable to re-
press her tears
In spite of a sincere desire and of
honest efforts to bring the MeXicans
out of their wretched political and
economic conditions, the imperial cou-
Pile soon found itself in an untenable
position. Maximilians liberal tenden-
cies brought him in direct conflict with
the reactionary element. which had
offered him the throne. France began

under Benito Juarez developed a

Carlota's brief hour of triumph was
when her husband turned the reins of
government over to her while he made
a tour through the interior of the
country. But what he saw and heard
was enough to dishearten the most
courageous.
Finally he allowed Marshal Bazaine,
ico the man who was condemned to death
for his abject cowardice during the
Franco-Pruss war of 1870. to force on
him the measure which later proved Max

solely responsible for his execution. 1t
