SOME one has mailed to us in n
sealed envelop a newspaper clipping
headed, ISLANDER Refuted," and pur-
porting to be letter from R. S. Hill
ton, private secretary to Vice Presi-
dent Morton, in which he denies the
published statement that the Vice
President has q saloon in his new
hotel at Washington. 1t is matter
of no consequence whatever to US
whether Vice President Morton has
a saloon in his hotel or not, but it is
a well authenticated fact that he has.
Mr.. Morton owns and operates the
hotel, and we presume from publish
ed accounts,pays his landlord stipu-
lated salary to manage it. 1t has
been attested by numerous reliable
Washington newspaper correspon'
dents that there is a saloon in this
new hotel and that Mr.. Morton
signed the application for the revenue
license. We don't suppose the fact
that the Vice President of the United
States runs a saloon will improve the
quality of the whisky any, but the
prominence of the proprietor before
the people of the country has given
the new dram shop big run of free
advertising, and will no doubt mate
rally increase his landlords receipts
for drinks.

The daily papers of last Sunday
contained the news that Brazil had
thrown off the yoke of monarchy and
risen to the majesty of republic.
Later dispatches confirmed the res
ports, and the new republic will be
known as the "United States of Bra
zil." Dom Pedro, the Emperor who
had reigned over that country for
fitty>seven years, was given -, 100000
and an annuity of $3.50, 900 for life, by
the new government, and banished
to Portugal. He accepted the offer
without a struggle. The revolution
was accomplished without bloOdshed,
and there is little probability of any
attempt being made to overthrow the
new government. No monarch was
ever more beloved by his people than
old Dom Pedro, and his liberal poll
cies have only prepared his people
for the change. 1t is believed by

in quite fantastic shape, of fourteen
new railroads projected TO and from
that city, every one of which, accord

one dozen of these new roads are but

An odd Kind OF Easter Eggs.

1t really seems too bad that the twins
should be down with the measles Just at the
| bright Eastertide, when their pretty spring
suits were all ready, and the little boxes in
which their Easter offerings jingled had
to be opened in Sunday school without
their being there to see.
SO, of course, they fretted great deal
and poor mamma was at her wits end to
comfort them.
"rll make you some Easter eggs" she
said.
Don't want anyl" whimpered Fanny.
Course we don't!' echoed Mamie.
We're sick of eggs nurse made us take so
many whipped up raw in milk"
well, won't make you that kind, " re-
Joined mamma
Now, I'll tell you what she did. She took
four small eggs, made a little hole at the
end of every one, emptied the contents, and
then washed the interior with pure water,
shaking it about well
When thoroughly cleaned, she poured in
rich blanc-mange, and, when it had cooled
and hardened, she picked off the outside
shell very carefully, leaving the blanc
mango eggs firm and shapely.
Then she pared very thin the yellow rind
of a lemon and an orange, boiled IL in a
little water until tender, and after cutting
it in fine strips to resemble straw, put it
back in the water, adding half cup of
sugar
She let the straws boil few minutes
longer in this strip and then laid them on
plate to cool, taking care not to break
them.
small glass dish was lined with pretty
red Jelly, the candied straws arranged on 1t
in the form of nest, and, lastly, the blanc
mango eggs placed in it.
1t looked charming
AS TO how it tasted, you must ask the
twins-or else make some for yourselyesl-

Have you ever attended an Easter egg
party? No? Then you are unacquainted
with one of the most delightful of social
enioyments peculiar to this season. For a
party of young people the hostess has pre-
pared n large basketfui of beautifully
dyed and decorated eggs, from which each
one present draws The couples are as
sorted for the evening, through the cor
respondence of the eggs. Not until mid
night are the shells opened, when much in
terest and amusement is manifested over
the notices and tiny souvenirs found
within.
Many artistic souvenirs can be prepared
by an arrangement Of pressed flowers and
grasses upon plain, gilt-edge cards Fan
ciful designs may be traced, and, where
the flowers are faded, they may be re
stored to their original color by the touch
of the paint brush Such cards are con
sidered much more original just now than
either the painted or printed ones. -Efie

out his heart to her, as If he were only an
other child
1t was a touching scene, and there were
witnesses to it-unwitting, unintentional
witnesses.
The landlord had come quietly into the
little yard with a gentleman whom he was
showing over the place with view to tte
sale.
The words of Ethel and Tom Towsley
came to them through the half-open win
dow and were of such a character that they
were forced into quietness.
When Towsley had ended what might be
termed personal confession of his straits
and circumstances, his voice grew more
cheerful, and he told his little grand
child the meaning of Easter, and how
the egg is held as symbol of the resurrec-
ton, since from it, apparently dead mass
there springs new life.
The gentleman, whose name was Silver
ton was business man, immersed in the
cares and distractions of trade. Yet he was,
at that time, in a susceptible mood
A few months before he had lost his own
rosy checked daughter, and his heart was
sore and bitter. The loss had tended to
harden rather than soften him
The faith of this simple minded man in
the good providences of God came to him
as a revelation, and the tears crept into his
eyes as he listened
Come away" he said Juggling at the
landlords coat Let us not disturb them.
Easter morning dawned brightly and
luminously. The spring had lately ad-
vanced with rapid strides, and the rising
sun was greeted by the songs OF birds and
the incense of flowers
Ac he oils halls rauu nlt ioyoua'y Ethel
hurried on her clothing, with a few as
sisting bitches here and there from her
grandfather, then took up her solitary
Easter egg and ran out upon the porch
The sight that greeted her drew shouts of
rapture from her lips, and brought Tom
Towsley tumbling from the room in per
ilous haste.
There, in dainty parti-colored basket,
were n dozen Easter eggs rejecting all the
hues of the rainbow. And there we're other
things, too, of a more substantial character.
A bag of flour and one of meal, together
with meat and potatoes and other neces-
saries almost without number.
1t seemed too good to be true, and Ethel
had to pat and caress those wonderful eggs
again and again to assure herself that she
was not dreaming.
Praise God for His wonderful goodness"

thankfulness and delight
"Ameni" responded deep voice, and
Mr.. Silverton slipped from around the cor
ner.
That was an Easter that Mr.. Silverton,
Tom Towsley and Ethel will long remem-
ber forit marked the beginning of a new
life for each.
The place was purchased, and Tom Tows-
ley and Ethel still live in the little cottage,

Mr.. Silverton, feelingly II can never pay
them, though, for the change they wrought.

He went to the gate with the intention OF
calling her back, but she was not to be

Thus aroused Towsley put the iron kettle
on the stove, placed water in it, a sufficient
quantity OF sassafras root, and, at the proper
time, the egg. He moved about silently
though, as if great calamity impended, or
had already befallen him.

some Points About Shaving. Hair Cutting
and tho Use OF Pomades.
Henry Mayer, who runs an under
ground barber-shop. and who has a
wide stock of information on other
subjects besides that of barbering, said
to Sun man:
1.-THE old custom of lathering a mans
face twice during the shaving process
has practically fallen into the soup. 1t
still prevails, however, with a few bar
bers who cling to obsolete customs. A
single application of lather is suf-
licient for all practical purposes, moist
ening the skin with sponge being
sufficient Tor the second application OF
the razor"
why is soap lather used upon the
face9" asked the writer.
Because nothing else will answer
the same purpose. Experiments have
been made from time to time with glyc-
crimes and oils, but none of them
would answer. Shaving soap contains
just sufficient alkali to neutralize the
effect of the natural oil in the hair
and to take away the stiffness from the
beard"
why is it, Mr.. Mayer, that so little
hair oil and unguent are used nova
days?"
1.-The late war destroyed the neces-
sity for hair-dressing compounds in
rather curious way" was the reply.
Previous to the war of the rebellion
it was the almost universal style to
wear the hear long. sometimes even
reaching down to the shoulders. For
the sake OF convenience, and also for
comfort. the soldiers had the hair cut
short, thus promoting both comfort
and cleanliness. After the war this
style became popular. 1t proved de-
structive to a very profitable part of
the BARRIERS business. Formerly, bar
bers derived a large income from the
sale of hair oils and pomades, but In
this degenerate age this business is
reduced to mere labor in handling the
scissors and the razor. IN. Y. Even
