Easter Eggs.


digest; but if any one will try the way
of boiling them one hour, he will be
surprised at the result. When brok-
en-, the egg will be light, mealy, and
a most degestible food.
MARBLE EGGs.-Get piece of tar
tan silk, or if this is not handy,
have several morsels of silk, each OF
a different color. Spread these at
random on piece of white calico.
Put the egg in the centre, and roll it
up very tight, tying it securely with
thread, TO prevent the pieces of silk
from slipping out. When the eggs
are prepared in this way, place them
in a saucepan, with plenty of boiling
water, in which a lump of common
washing soda has been dissolved.
The soda is to draw the color out of
The silk. Let them boil very gently
for an hour, at the end of which
time remove the coverings, when the
eggs will be found to present very
pretty appearance. When sufficient
ly cool to hold in the hand, rub each
one over with little butter or lard,
to give it bright look. Be careful
not to crack the eggs, or the color
will boil through into the egg itself.
VARIOUS CoLoRED EGGs.-To dye
eggs black, put logwood chips into
the water in which they are to be
boiled. These chips can be bought
for trif1e at chemists. 1t is i'm.
possible to say the exact quantity
that will be required. But it is
very easy to tell when the water is
dark enough by taking little up in
q spoon. Eggs can be dyed with
these chips any shade. from lovely
port wine color to jet black. To
obtain brown eggs, put strong coffee
grounds-or settling-into the water.
For yellow, use plenty of onion peel
ings. Put the Feelings into the wat
err, while cold, and boil the eggs
among them. Cochineal. perfectly
harmless dye, will make the eggs of
any shade, from deep crimson to
lovely rose pink, according to the
quantity used. A pretty effect is
sometimes given to the eggs, by
daubing them here and there with
grease before putting them into the
boiling water. Wherever the grease
is, the dye does not take; therefore
the eggs comes out spotted. Some
times the name of the person who is
to receive the egg is written on in
the same manner.
In dying eggs, great care should be
taken to use only one spoon. and
that an old one The oldest sauce.
pan in The house, too, will answer
the purpose. All dyes are difficult
to remove from these things.
GOLD AND SILVER EGGS -The fol-
lowing is a very superior way of
ornamenting eggs: Boil them for an
hour in plain water only. When
quite cold, rub them all over with
painters size. Have ready, in a
saucer, some gold or silver dust,
such as bookbinders use. Roll the
eggs, one at time, in this rubbing
gently off with very soft cloth, all
the loose dust. Do this until the
egg is entirely covered. Or the eggs
can be dyed of any color, and
name, date, or device put on in the
above mnnner, with the size and dust.
Sometimes l have used gold and sill
yer leaf, instead of the dust, but it
was very troublesome. and did not
answer the purpose nearly so WE'LL

SUITS for Small Boys---Matters OF
Moment to Mothers.

Snail boys wear white muslin
yoke slips precisely like those worn
by little girls, until they are two
years old.
Louis Quinze costumes for boys
of three consisting of short jacket
and kilt shirt of soft washable fab
RIGS, are shown at the furnishing
centres.
Blouses of French nainsook, trim
med down the centre with large
deep collar and cuffs of embroidery
are worn with Louis Quinze cos
tunes of velvet or Cord de la Refine
Velveteen, that new departure of
Nonpareil, which combines style and
service.
Suits for small boys Of dark blue
green or red flannel or cashmere,
made in the Louis Qninze fashion,
are chosen for seaside and country.
Such costumes may be ornament
ed with braiding in curled cluster
ing designs, and for larger boys, sup
plemented by pointed vest of &C.
ru batiste which delights the small
young man immensely.
Corset waists, perfectly shaped
and fitted as to ensure the comfort
and symmetry of the costume entire
for children of all ages, are among
the specialties shown at Best's Lipi-
putian Bazaar, in Twenty Third st.
New York in which mothers delight.
Another novelty Of the utmost
consequence IN the miniature mas
culine wardrobe, is a reinforced
waist band which takes the friction
and strain from small trowsers.
Two piece suits, are shown for
boys from six to eight years. The
kilt shirts sewed on to waist of 81.
,esia buttoning in front which in
measure transfers the weight of the
suit to the shoulders.
Long jackets, made of blue, gray
or white flannel pique, shepherds,
plaid or corduroy, either plain or in
the Norfolk shape, boxpleated and
belted close with buttons and clasps
Of metal or ivory, are stylishly worn
over these waists.
There are also pretty Scotch Chew
lots in tan and other brown shades
in small irregular plaids for the suits.
More dressy fine cloth and pique
suits with kilt skirt, have the jack
ct slashed behind, and cut away
square at the waist-line to simulate
a vest, while still others have revers
turned back from this simulated vest.
There are wide pocket flaps on each,
but no belt. Wide linen collars are
worn with these suits, hence there is
no color to the jacket. Sailor blouse
waists are also worn with kilt skirts
by boys not yet in short trousers.
Large chapeaux of fancy straw
colored, or plain in all the Easter
styles affected by Mamas, are shown
for small girls whose costumes con-
stitute production in smaller type
of the toilets of the Mater familias,
with fabrics and features la mode.
1t must be conceded that Chica

in the construction of Corset which
is the most complete invention for
mothers. The breast is sustained,

County Treasures.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
Sir,-Allow me to say word in re-
lation to bill now in the hands Of a
committee of the House Of Delegates
to increase the compensation Of county
and city treasurers for the collection
Of State taxes. 1t goes without say
ing" that the present commission of )
per cent. in all the smaller counties is
inadequate to the faithful discharge OF
their duties. The mass Of the State
tax is in small amounts due from each
taxpayer, the capitation-tax alone
constituting an important item, which
enures to the benefit of the State
school fund. am satisfied, from per-
sonal observation for years past. that
if the commission of the treasurers
was increased in accordance with the
proposed bill the State would gain more
in faithful collection Of small taxes alone
by treasurers and their deputies than
the proposed increase of commission
asked for in tho bill. l would like to
ask, in conclusion, if there is any class
of officers known under the present law
of the State furnishing bonds of an ap-
proved and solvent character for twice
the amount of average State and county
taxes passing annually through their
hands that receive so meagre com
pensation? The State will be the gamer
and not the loser'by the passage of the
proposed bill to increase their compen-
sation. CITIZEN.

Whatever aid our legislators may
deem expedient to give to Richmond In
this respect, still the people Of Virginia
may well claim from them, as guardians
OF the University, that to its medical
department shall be attached hospital,
in which shall be practically taught the
treatment Of disease by which the stu
dent may obtain at homo what he now
has to seek abroad, whilst at the same
time the interests Of patients from all
parts Of the State will be at least as
well subserved, and even better, in
view Of the healthful locality.
There has been q greatly-exaggerated
report abroad that we have here much
typhoid fever, which is not true. Oc-
casionally we meet with few sporadic
cases, which can generally be traced to
some local cause from non-observ-
ance Of hygienic laws or to some i'm
purity in the water Of the wells in the
thickly. settled parts Of the town. Since
we have obtained pure water from the
mountains even these have ceased, and
Charlottesville now may be considered
one of the most healthy localities in
the State or elsewhere, but | will not
say "distressingly healthy" but SO
much so that the diseased from all
parts Of the State may we'll be brought
here, with the prospect Of aspeedy re-
covery.
The proximity to the University and
the bealthfulness Of our climate, as
we'll as its central position, point out
Charlottesville as the most suitable
place for the proposed "normal
school" to which the University would
be a great benefit in many respects.
Though vast and important interests
Of State, involving not only the pros
perity but even the very existence of
our free Commonwealth, tax the wis
dom of our legislators, it is still be-
lieved that the interests of our Uni
versity, regarded by Mr.. Jefferson, its
great founder, as necessary to main
tenance Of our liberties, will not be
neglected, but placed upon basis Of
prosperity and progress ever widening
and increasing in proportions common
surate with the rapid and great advance
in all the sciences and arts, which seem
to increase with popular freedom.

Virginia Never Shows the White

To the Editor of the Dispatch
We are watching things in Virginia
with lively interest.
The late decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States against the
Old Dominion looks like a test case.
Who knows but what the bondholders
may bring suit against North Carolina
to force her to pay her special-tax
bonds which she repudiated. No State
in the Union ought to submit TO a plain
violation Of the eleventh amendment to
the Constitution. Virginia has never
yet shown the white feather nor become

famous resolutions Of 1898 to resist the
