"Oh, look look all those pretty little
claimed my little sister one day, as we pass
one of the largest confectionery stores in
Stuttgart ; and, true enough, though Lent
was but half over, there they we're, a pretty
show. Eggs, of course, in quantities and Of
all sizes, from that of an ostrich to hum.
ming birds made of chocolate or of sugar,
and galy decorated with little ribbons and
pictures. Then there were lat little un.
aedged chickens, some just emerging from
the shells, some not an inch long, and 9TH
ers large as life pure white lambs, with
ribbons and bells round their necks PASTE
eggs, with holes at the ends, and, looking
through, behold a panorama inside and
eggswith roses one side which, when blown
tupon, emit musical sound.
But odder than all these were the goats
playing on guitars or dragging behind them
fairy like egg shaped carriages with little
hares gravely driving; and in Others of these
carriages were reclining one or two (general-
ly wo) baby hares, 81 hare mother rvei
ing her little in an egg cradle there
were sugar balloons, in the baskets of which
hares watched over nests full of eggs Wheel
barrows full of eggs, and trundled by hare; |;

nests of eggs half hidden amidst the bios

out, and forms the cover to box of bon6o,u

In all directions signs of the coming season
begin to appear. Every old woman in tho
market place offers for sale a store of hard
boiled Eggs, smeared over with some highly
colored varnish, besides candy chickens,

Besides the sugar and chocolate eggs there ara

Hints for the Garden.

1t is now time to have few early peas in
the ground, as they are not injured by lit.
tie frost, and the ground is in good condi-
ton for planting. They should be planted
deeply, four or five inches.of covering is not
too much.
Onions require dry ground to succeed well
which should be we'll prepared and then
beaten or firmly trodden down. Wood
ashes is good manure for them.
Be,ts, lettuce, radishes, carrots, spinach
and parsley may be sown early. Spinach
| indeed (ught TO be sown in the fall and
slightly protected through the winter, but
where this has not been done spring sowing
is advisable.
Good spring turnips cannot be had with.
out sowing them as early as the ground is In
fit condition.
Seeds OF tomatoes, egg plants and red pep.
pers may now be planted in boxes.
The asparagus bed requires attention this
month, and no farmer should be without It.
The course manure should be raked of and
II the ground is dry the finer should bs
iorked in and the surface raked over smooth
iy, salt should then be spread over tn,
bed.
Those who have neglected to order trees
! plants, seeds, ETC., until now should lose n
, time in procuring their supplies.
oI In the hurry of spring work do not b
tempted to plant, pillow or work the soil il
0 any manner until 1t is sufficiently dry an
will erumble as it is moved by the spade o
pillow.
