Why the Rabbit ID Frequ entIy Ansoclnted
With -OrnaIn entatiop. III
Chicago Tribune.
There are but few Americans who, upon
the approach OF Easter, can tell why in
many Of the larger confectionery stores
eggs are seen surmounted by rabbit. The
legend il thus: On the continent, espec.
tally in Germany, the patron Saint, a, it
werc, Of the Easter egg, is the rabbit.
Children are taught to believe that these
lively little animals lay the vari.colored
eggs, just es they are told the story Of Santa
Claus at Chstmes time. The evening be.
fore Easter Sunday they are son! To bed
early, when the older people make nests
around the ground near the house, and in
the morning the youngsters hunt for the
beautiful eggs laid by the rabbits the night
previous. 5iIE3Elr
With every recurring Easter the concei.s
in egg decoration increase, and 80 does the
demand for them. Conlectioners were the
first to introduce the Easter egg in this
country, and this ives followed by tho Eas.
ter card. The varieties in the market are
really too numerous to mention. Egg can
be bought from one cent up to twenty dol
lara apiece. They are in all conceivable
shapes, fanciee, and desienR, and noyelties
are continually appearing. The larger guam.
tity are imported from Germany end
France, but the work Of designing Is grow.
ing rapidly in tho United States. They are
made OF sugar, gum peste,. papier mache,
chocolate, bronze, gold, silver, g|aw, wool,
wicker, etc. Natural eggJ decorated are
worth from five cents to 81 apiece,
and the reporter who asked how
it WAS possible to sell such beauti.
fully hsnd-painted eggs for 80 Ill.
tie was answered that the work was done
in Europe, where such labor was very
cheap. There are egga from which may be
seen coming through the shell birds, mice,
pigs, elephants, frogs, aud children. Then
there arc feathered limitations OF chickens
from Japan, and from China an ordinary
sized egg containing dozen others which
run down to tho size OF pea. Dresden
and French China figure largely in some Of
the most beautiful desigua Some o. the
eggs arc large enough TO hold pound OF
candy, and are made Of almos. all kinds OF
material, some being covered with hand
painted designs on silk. Again, there are
eeveral Kaleidoscope cegs and panoramic
eggs, showing througha gla-s aperture yari.
Qua appropriate Easter scenes.
Within recent years it has become posi-.
BILE 10 hatch chickens, ducks and geese by
artificial means. Thin method OF rand
matching has been utilized by tlloae who
cater to the Easter trade. When tho chicks
or geese, or ducks are u day old, they are
killed and their bodies stuffed, and they
arc thus sold aiug,y or attached 10 an egg
or card 81 the case may be. va *
1n Germany the Htork figures Fl the natal
bird, and to it ia blended legend some.
what similar to that Of the rabbit and
Santa Claus. In q coniec.ioner's store yea.

descending q chimney with baby in its

Gaze, hut the event has justified the pre-.
diCtion eooner than seemed possible. '3 y'tt
The Western farmers have a powerful
remedy In their own hands. Let them di.
verrify their crops. They are, running too
much 10 wheat. They are gkinning their
lands, and are producing a crop which, the
present Indications are, will never again

South has begun TO do, from It's ex.

Another thing that hurts our farmers Is
the extortions Of the railroads, more on the
return freight than on the outgoing grain,
but II they wait for the regulation Of the
greed Of these corporations they will find
their market entirely lost. The hurt which

creased in price the last fifty years Wal
meat. Wheat was one Of those which hat
gone down in price the most, beinl
