"Why, tho children of tho east ern Alps from early infancy oro told of this, nud it is satil that thoscaKon of Lent, with Its penitonco and sorrow havim passed away, tho sun on Mister morn, starting a now year full of hopo and promiso after tho washing away of sin, rises so full of happiness that it dances for joy. "On tho morning 1 mention my undo, as soon as ho knew I was nwakc, called mo into his room and told me of Wil helm showing him a copy of my father's will. IIo said ho had not known of the 'strange request' If contained, as ho had never seen it nor heard it read, but had merely been told of its provisions by the notary, nud whllo ho was amazed bo yond expression, yet having learned his dead brother's wishes ho felt It his duty to carry tliem out, and lienco withdrew any opposition to my foolish desires." "But did tho sundanee?" asked Nellio. "It certainly appeared so to mo that morning," said grandma. "Whon I went out of doors, tho sun was just rising over tho top of tho distant mountains, and ii dancod and danced so that I could scarce ly sco it when I first lookod nt it, nnd my eyes filled so full of tears with unspeak able happiness that I finally couldn't set It ot all." "Ohl Yon mean It looked liko It waj dancing because you wero crying," said Tommy in disgust. "And when tho Tyrolcso musicians, singing Easter hymns, camo past our house," continued grandma, "I know a volco and a either beforo thoy camo in sight. Thoy camo up to tho door, as they always do, and wo joined In tho chorus, and to mo tho flowers that decorated the. singers never looked so beautiful. The guitars and tho zithers, with human voices, novor blended In such exquisite melody, nnd tho lovely Mister cards novor beforo seemed to havo such n grand yot tender meaning." "Did you havo any colored eggs?" asked Tommy. "Oh, yes, nud to tho children who cams along with tho singers wo miulo our of fering of Mwter eggs, which my auut poured into their baskets, and to the older ones wo mado other little offerings. Each one gnvo some little Eastor offer lug to some one else." "What did WUhelm givo your' asked Nellio. "A little jeweled heart which ho sold represented his own." "And what was your offering to hliul" asked Maggie. "Myself," was tho reply. "Oh, I thought you married grandpa," said Tommy, "and his name was Helu rich." "Ills first nomo was WUhelm, my dear," sold grandma as sho wiped her spectacles. Hkukcca Dkeiuk. I JOYFUL EASTER DELLS. In 1709, when Napoleon's armies wen swooping over tho continent, Massena ono of Ills generals, appeared suddenly on tho heights abovo tho little town of Fcldkirch on tho Austrian frontier. It was Easter morning, and tho sun glitter ing on tho weapons of tho invaders filled tho vlllngers with terror. Tho town coun cil hastily assembled to consult what waa to bo dono. Defen60 was impossible Should a deputation bo sent to Massena with tho keys of tho town and a potition that ho treat tho plnco with mercy? Then tho old dean of tho church stood up. "It Is Easter day," ho said. "Wo havo been reckoning our own strength, and that fails. Let us ring tho bolls nnd liavo servlco as usual nnd leave tho mat ter in higher hands." His words pre vailed. Thon all at onco from threo or four church towers in Feldkirch the bolls began to clang joyful peals, and tho streets filled with worshipers hasten ing to tho churoh. Tho French heard with surpriso and alarm tho sudden clangor of joy bells, and concluding tiot tho Austrian army had arrived in tho nicht to relievo the nlnrn MnftKPim Hinlflmilv lirrla !.

The Qualifications of Judges at Race Meetings. Judges of trotting races are not like poets and inuslcluns. It Is as true as gospel that Judges uro made not born. It takes years of actual experience to uuko ti Judge thoroughly competent and thon ho can learn with every new servlco. IIo must Ignore all favorites nmnuggt horses and whllo in tho Htand bo dead to overy Impulse of friendship for own- ers and jockeys. A conservative Judge will havo no friends In a ruco whose faults he will conilouo and uoenemlts whom ho will punish. And here Is where drivers fnquoully make a mis take. They think that for friendship's -ake a little tho best of thu start will bo permitted or they may indulge In n little more running than the law ul lows. A Judge should never harbor a foregone conclusion as to which horse should win, or untlelpito byabreuh Ing tho possibility of auy horse's defeat. His work begins the instini a race starts and from lint second until the llulsh he should huu all his senses on active service. Hu should give his or tiers iu a clear, distinct voice, to that he tuny bo heard and understood. H should make no threats, but carry Into act.ve execution his Ideas, nnd when tho drivers understand that they will In- treated us men only so long us they ict as meh, very little trouble will be hud. It Is not enouirh that the in. i.,: should bo a good hnrseiimn and have an accurate knowledge of the rules; he should be a good Judge of men ami ca pable of seeing iiulek, thlnklnifiiiil,,!,. and acting quick.
