Easter Eggs.

Fashion frowned on Easter eggs
long ago, but for all that the custom
prevails, and from Good Friday until
Easter-ti tide the small boy and his little
mother and sister will tinker with the
fruit of the hennery. stain their fin
gers, and burn the bottom out of at
least one sauce-pa The gold and
silver eggs are to be the trumps of the
season. The egg when boiled hard is
allowed to get stone cold, when it is
rubbed with ! ointerS' size. The gold
or silver powder, which may be bought
at the artists supply shops, is sprinkled
in a saucer and the egg rolled in it
till evenly covered. The fingers are
used to work the atrylike stuff in the
shell. When gilded the name, date,
or some pretty quotation is inscribed
with needle, brush, or pen. Blown
eggs are the work of an artist When
the contents are sucked out the brush
is applied and angel faces or spring
scenes painted. Dying eggs is child's
play. For red shades buy an ounce of
cochineal powder and you have mater
ial for pale rose. crimson, bright scar
let, deep wine, or dark maroon shades,
the weight OF the color depending on
the amount of dye put in the water
Eggs boiled in coffee grounds will
come out bisc.It, chocolate, amber, or
coffee-b brown; onion-peel boiled with
eggs for an hour will leave them a
bright yellow, and piece of blue, red,
or green dress goods will color the
shells unheard-o of tiLts. Thefe is moth
ing better than logwood. Five cents
worth of chips will paint the eggs
black as well as red. Put them in
cold water, and just before the boiling
point is reached drop in an egg. Add
little more dye for the second and
third and as the water darkens the
color will deepen until fine jet black
is secured. To mottle eggs grease the
shell in spots or bars before dropping
them into the dye. Use an old iron
spoon and sauce pan tor the operation
as both will have to be discarded. In
drying put the egg in spoon, cup, OF
basket with sieve bottom, so as not tC
soak the color where the shell touches
surface.

CHEEKY UP. Cheer-ee.

BY LOU VALERA WILSON
Fiercely and wildly the March winds blow
Driving before them the falling snow,
But high on the bough Of the apple tree
Our friend the robin we gladly see
And over and over this tale Is told,
"Chirp. chirp, chirp! My feet are coldi
Cbirp, chirpl am hungry. tool
What shall / do the long night through
It's cold for poor .itile fellow like me.
Cheery.up, CHEEKY up! Cheereer'
At last the reign OF cold winter Ger
Fair spring ascends the throne once more;
And there on the blossom laden bough
The gay young robin is swinging now.
And there is his cheerful matin song;
"Cheery-up! Cheer &c! The whole day long
I'll swing and sing the hours away.
o, lovely dayl o, blossoms gayl
Did You ever a fellow so happy see?
Cheery.up, CHEEKY up! Cheeree"
As glide the bright days OF the springtime along
The gallant Young robin with burst Of song
And fine brown coat and breast knot gay,
Now goes a Conrting just over the way;
But his rival Is there, and this we heaf,
"Chirp, chlrp, chirpl No rival fear!
Twill not be long ere ! conquer my foe.
This dsshing young robin will win, know,
No lady will scorn gay young fellow like me.
CHEEKY up, CHEEKY up! Cheer.ee!'
Up in the apple boughs safe and high,
And snugly hidden from curious eye.
Sir Robins home in the soft breeze swings,
And perching near by he merrily sings,
I've won! I've won! Cheery.up! Cheer-ee!
Was there ever dearcr wife than she?
Or eggs whose beauty with mine compare?
This all means work, but don't care,
OF those wide mouths so proud I'll be!
