Gen. Harrison says that be is in favor
of the civil service reform law and of its
faithful enforcement, and that some ex-
tensions of the classified list are practical
Bile and desirable
This measure of reform we have now
The law as to the classified service has
been as well enforced, in the main, as it
is possible to do with partisan officials
And the classified list has recently been
extended by order of the president.
But it is in the realm now beyond the
law that the need Of reform is greatest
OF this Gen. Harrison saws that "only the
interests of the public service should sug-
gest removals from Office The trouble
with this glittering generality is that for
twenty years the Republicans acted
upon the theory in the nation, as they
still do in every state and city controlled
by them. that the interests of the pub.
lie service require that none but Repub-
licans should hold Office. If the politi.
clans of that party did not believe that
their candidate for president still holds
and would act upon this view a polar
wave would chill their canvass

warning by declaring that we are con

How to Dye Easter Eggs.

AS Easter is near at hand, the fol-
lowing suggestions in regard to dye
ing eggs are timely:
The methods of coIoring Easter
eggs are various. To dye eggs black
put log-wood chips into the water in
which they are to be boiled. These
chips may be bought at n druggists
for a triffe. 1t is easy to tell when
the water is black enough by taking
up a little with a spoon. Eggs can
be dyed with these chips from q
lovely port wine color to jet black
To obtain brown eggs put strong cof-
fee grounds or settings into the wa
ter. For yellow use plenty Of onion
Feelings. Put the peelings into the
water while cold and boil the eggs
among them.
In dyeing eggs great car 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 re-
move from these things.
The following is an excellent way
of ornamenting eggs with gold and
silver: Boil them for an hour in
plain water only. When quite cold
rub them all over with painters size.
Have ready in a sauce some gold Or
silver bronze powder such as book
binders use Roll the eggs one at a
time in this, rubbing gently off with
a soft cloth all the loose dust. Do
this until the eggs can he dyed of any
color, and a name, date or device put
on in the above n by size and
dust.
Cochineal, n perfectly harmless
dye. will make the eggs of any shade
from a deep crimson to 4 lovely rose
pink. according to the quantity used.
A pretty effect is sometimes given to
the eggs by dauhing them here and
there with grease before putting
them in boiling water. Wherever
the grease is the dye will not take.
therefore the riggs come out spotted.
Sometimes the name of the person
who is to receive the egg is written on
with grease in the same manner.
