Hamerton says; 'It often happens that
mere activity is waste of time, that peo
pie who have a morbid habit of being busy
are often terrible time wasters; while, on
the contrary, those who are judiciously
deliberate, and allow themselves intervals
of leisure, see the way before them In
those intervals, and save time by the ac-
curacy of their calculations.
Another writer, unknown, says: "Somo
men are in incessant action, early and
late, and all through the day. They have
no time for family or friends. AS for
holidays, the less for them the better.
They have inherited q nervous tempera-
mcnt, and are doing just the wrong thing
with it--allowing it to hurry them 70 an
untimely end. They wear themselves
out. Their brain is ever in q state OF
morbid activity almost like that Of an in
sane man. A little careful planning, and
proper laying out of work, and especially
doing everything IA the proper time,
would avoid all such hurry and worry,
make work much easier, secure an ahuu-
dance OF leisure and greatly increase
length of life. ''-Scientific American.

LOVE MAKING AT EASTER.

The season of BASKERVILLE, which originally
brought thanksgiving and joy of a religious
nature only, has come to be observed by the
younger portion of humanity as fitting time
in which to exchange friendly and even love
tokens in the way of bonbonnieres and other
gifts more or less remotely related to the
feathered tribe and its products The idea of
fabricating imitation eggs in sugar, precious
metals and choice porcelains is of compare
lively recent origin. But their manufacture
has become, not only in France and Ger
many, but in Now York as well, a source of
important traffic. About the beginning of
December the leading factories of bon bons,
both abroad and i'll this country, begin their
preparations for Easter
Not only are the bonbons themselves in
some degree works of art, but tho bags,
baskets and boxes made to contain them are
still more So These latter are models of
taste and elegance. For instance, basket
formed Of straw, satin and flowers, the bot
tom of which is covered with n lace pocket
handkerchief, as though it were simply O
graceful addition to the satin lining on which
repoSe the egg shaped bonbons. But this
handkerchief costs a good many dollars, and
thus some lovesick swain Is enabled, when
sending lady seemingly few score Of de-
licious bonbons, to make her O handsome
present in the most delicate possible way. A

THE PERPLExED DREAMER.

1t is the custom in German families on
Easter eve to place sugar and real eggs (the
former usually filled with bonbOns or tiny
playthings in a nest, and then conceal it in
the house or garden, in order that the young
ones, who always rise at break of day ON that
important morning, may have the delight of
seeking and finding the hidden treasures.
Happy the little ones who are thus taught to
associate joy and pleasure with the deepest
mysteries of that religion which among us
is too often made the harbinger of gloom
and restraint.

WAS IT THE HEN OR THE HARE,

curious custom prevails in Germany for
which there appears no explanation. Hares
are, in she popular belief of the children,
Transformed for the nonce into oviparous
animals, and you see in the pastry cooks
windows animals Of that species as large as
life, modelled in sugar, and sitting upright in
a nest, surrounded by any quantity of eggs
The fresh, simple minded German children
believe implicitly in this egg producing
power of the hare; and when, about Easter
time, they see one running across a field, they
clap their hands and shout after it: "Hare
good little hare, lay plenty of eggs for us on
Easter dayln Implicit belief in the hare rs
the author of Easter eggs does not exist
among the young people of all countries,
however. The little maiden depicted in the
illustration here given is evidently in doubt
on which to pin her faith, the fluffy hen or
the fieeting hare.

home. But finding herself In front of
brilliantly lighted church, she paused to
again consider the problem that had so puz-
zled her. Tiny Joe, the poor little hunch-
back, who lived round the corner from Nelrs
own humble home, stood there too Joe went
to Sunday school, he would know
"What's Easter dayP' asked Nell, laying
her hand ON Tiny Joe's arm. ''Why is today
Easter eyei Is it something for the rich
peopleF'
Tiny Joe's dark eyes turned wonderingly
upon the flower girls face, as he said inn
pressively:
ats for you, it's for me, it's for all" and
then he told her in his simple way Of the Joy
that had come at Christmas when the holy
child was born in the manager; and he went
on to speak of Good Friday, when Christ was
nailed upon the cross, so that he might take
US all to live with him in heaven; he told of
all his sufferings, how he was laid in the gar
den grave, and then came the story Of the
Easter joy-how he rose again from the
dead, and how he has gone back to his place
in heaven to ask God to take us there because
he died for US, land oh, Nell, 4" said Joe, when
he had ended his wondrous tale, never mind
how poor or how hungry we are, and what
pain we have to suffer, so long as we think
Of all that Jesus bore for US, and remember
the Easter joy, how he rose again, to show
US that after we was dead we should rise
again also and live with him for ever in the
beautiful city where there's no more pain"
Nell, who had listened to the story in
breathless establishment, said: "Can we go
inP' and the boy, in reply, led her up the
stone steps and through the vestibule into
the brightly lighted church
There were flowers, beautiful flowers, sur
rounded by numberless lights. There were
violets, her own violets, around the chancel
There were bright hymns, more beautiful
than the flower girl had ever heard in her
life Everything seemed to tell of the Easter
gladness.
Nell understood little of the sermon, but
all seemed to speak Of the same thing, and as
she wished to know more about it she de-
cided she would go to school the next night
and begin to learn. And so she did, proving
long before the year was out one of the most
diligent of the many pupils who attended
the night school.

indeed, indeed, cannot; if they want the
flowers they will come and buy them, but it's
no good TO make them give their money when
they had rather keep it."
The woman opened her round eyes, and
looked at Nell wonderingly

be silly-make the folks buy; tell you they

Meanwhile Nell still stood in her old place,

THE VIOLET GIRL.

What Tiny Joe Told Little Nell About
Easter and It's Flowers.
"Violets, sweet violets; who will buy my
violetSF'
A chorus of voices in wild confusion called
upon the paSsers by to purchase the punches
Of spring flowers that had sprung up after
the winter SHOWS to greet the glad resurrec-
ton feast.
They had taken their stand outside Covent
garden, these poor women and girls whose
bread depended upon the sale of their violets
1t was growing dark, and Easter eve, too,
and this was their last chance. II the flow
erS were not sold before they went to their
wretched homes, they would be lost, all dead
and withered before Monday morning.
There was a girl who stood among the
crowd, holding her basket in her hand, but
not opening her lips, not joining in the gen.
eral clamor, only leaning against the wall,
and looking so pale and wretched, it went to
ones heart to think that there was such
misery in the world as was written on that
fair young face. For it was very fair, in
spite of the tale it told of poverty and want;
there was something in the girls whole ap-
pearance different to the people among whom
she was standing, something of refinement to
which they were strangers, and which they
could not understand. They ran after every
one who passed, screaming, vociferatir 2,
entreating; she stood in her place, not speak
ing single word, only standing there with
that look of mute entreaty upon her poor,
thin face

Eggs as a TrIbute 70 ono king.

Formerly at the approach of Easter all the
hen roosts of France were ransacked for the
largest eggs, which were brought as tribute
to the king. At the conclusion of the Easter
high mass in the chapel of the Louvre
lackeys brought into the royal cabinet pyra-
mids of gilded eggs, placed in baskets
adorned with verdure; and the chaplain,
after having blessed them, distributed them
