There is general opinion among

the following remedy for severe scalds

severe, apply soon after linseed oil,

There are but few Americans who.
upon the approach of Easter, can tell
why in many of the larger confectionery
stores eggs are seen s1rmounted by a
rabbit. The legend is thus: On the
Continent, especially in Germany, the
patron saint, as it were, of the Easter
eggs, is the rabbit. Children are taught
to believe that these lively little animals
lay the vari-colored eggs, just as they
are told the story of Santa Clause at
Christmas time. The evening before
Easter Sunday they are sent 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.
With every recurring Easter the con-
ceits in egg decoration increase, and so
does the demand for them. CORRECTION
ers were the first to introduce the Easter
egg in this country, and this was fol-
lowed by the Easter card. The
varieties in the market are really too
numerous to mention. Eggs cost from
one cent up to twenty dollars apiece.
They are in all conceivable shapes,
fancies and designs, and novel
ties are continually appearing.
The larger quantity are imported
from Germany and France. but
the work of designing is growing
rapidly in the United States. They are
made of sugar, gum paste, papier mache,
chocolate, bronze, gold, silver, glass,
wood, wicker, etc. Natural eggs decora-
ted are worth from five cents to one
dollar apiece, and the reporter who
asked how it was possible to sell such
beautifully hand-painted eggs for so lit
tie was answered that the work was
done in Europe, where such labor was
very cheap. There are eggs from which
may be seen coming through the shell
birds, mice, pigs, elephants, frogs and
children. Then there are feathered i'm
itations of chickens from Japan, and
from China an ordinary-siz egg con-
tanning a dozen others which run down
to the size of pea. Dresden and French
China figure largely in some of the most
beautiful designs. Some of the eggs are
large enough to hold pound of candy,
and are made of almost all kinds of
material, some being covered with hand
painted designs Oh silk. Again, there
are Kaleidoscope eggs and panoramic
eggs, showing through glass aperture
various appropriate Easter scenes.
Within recent years it has become
possible to hatch chickens, ducks and
geese by artificial means. This method
of rapid Matching has been utilized by
those who cater to the Easter trade.
When the chicks, or geese, or ducks are
a day old they are killed and their
bodies stuffed, and they are thus sold
singly or attached to an egg or card as
the case may be.
In Germany the stork figures as the
natal bird. and to it Is blended legend
somewhat similar to that of the rabbit
and Santa Claus. Chicago Tribune.

Chinese Girls Not Appreciated.

The whole household considers such an
event beneath its notice, and the down
cast parents almost apologize for an
nouncing so uninterestiDg piece of in
tell.gence. In the case of wealthy
homes this does not necessarily imply
any deficiency of parental feeling. The
baby girl is there nursed as tenderly rs
boy, but her value is diminished by
the consideration that she is of no per
manent use To the family and must
eventually pass to another home for
ever. The birth of girls is a sore trial
to poor families. and in some cases the
occasion of the most unnatural OF
crimes. a great deal of nonsense has
been written about the universal prev
alence of infanticide in China, and hall
the books on Chinese social life must be

sidered that every lad can wed an eligi-

widely the stories about slaughtered

the entire absence of infanticide. The
