An ODD Kind Of Easter Eggs.


It 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.
''Pu make you some Easter eggs she
said
Don't want any!" 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, I 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 we'll
When thoroughly cleaned, she poured in
rich blanc-mange, and, when il had cooled
and hardened, she picked of 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 1t in a
little water until tender, and, after cutting
il IN fine strips to resemble straw, put it
back in the water adding a half cup Of
sugar.
She let the straws boil a few minutes
longer in this sirup and then laid them on
a plate to cool, taking care not to break
them.
A small glass dish was lined with pretty
red Jelly, the candied straws arranged ON it
in the form OF n nest, and. lastly, the blanc
mango eggs placed in it
1t looked charmingl
As to how it tasted, you must ask the
twins-or else make some for yourselves

out his heart to her, as If he were only an
other child
1t was touching scene, and there were
witnesses to it-unwitting, unintentional
witnesses
The landlord had come quietly into the
little yard with gentleman whom he was
showing over the place with view to its
SALE.
The words of Ethel and Tom Towsley
came to them through the half-open win
dow, and were of such 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 a new life.
The gentleman, whose name was Silver
ton, was a business man, immersed in the
cares and distractions of trade. Yet he was,
at that time, in susceptible mood
A few months before he had lost his own
rosy-cheeked daughter, and his heart was
sore and bitter. The loss had tended to
harden rather than soften him
The faith of this supplemented man in
the good providences of God came to him
as a revelation, and the tears crept into his
eyes as he listened

landlords coat Let US not disturb them"
Easter morning dawned brightly and
LUMINOSITY. The spring had lately adj
vanced with rapid strides, and the rising
sun was greeted by the songs of birds and
the incense of flowers
As the glad bells rang out joyOus'y Ethel
hurried o2 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 tumbIing from the room in per
ilous haste.
There, in a dainty, perti-colored basket,
were dozen Easter eggs, rejecting all the
hues of the rainbow. And there were other
things, too, of more substantial character.
bag of flour and one of meal together
with meat and potatoes and other neces-

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

! thankfulness and delight
''Amen!" responded a deep voice, and

ouEER SUPERSTITION.
The Discovery Of Drowned Bodies By
Means Of Bread.

Discovery
Means Of Bread.
Among beliefs current among sailors
in our own country is the notion that
it is unlucl1y to turn loaf upside down
after helping oneself from it, the idea
that for every loaf so turned a ship
will be wrecked. 1t is also said that
if loaf parts in the hand while being
cut it bodies dissension in the family
the separation of husband and wife.
Again, it has long been a widespread
belief that the whereabouts Of
drowned body may be ascertained by
floating a loaf of bread down stream,
when it will stop over the spot where
the body is.
A curious account of the body thus
recovered near Hull appeared some
years back in the Gentleman's Maya
zine: "After diligent search in the
river had been made for the child, to
no purpose, a twO-penny loaf, with a
quantity of quicksilver put in it, was
set floating from the place where the
child was supposed to have fallen in,
which stored its way down the river
upward of a half mile, when, the body

of the river. the loaf suddenly tackled
about and swan across the river, and
gradually sank near the child, when
both the child and the loaf were
brought up with the graplers ready
for the purpose"
A correspondent of Notes and Que
ries maintains that it is scientific fact
that a loaf and quicksilver indicates
the position of the body, as the weight
ed loaf is carried by the current just as
the body is. This practice, too, pre-
walls on the continent; and in Ger
many the name of the drowned person
is inscribed on the piece of bread. while
in France loaves consecrated to St.
Nicholas, with lighted wax taper in
them, have generally been employed
for that purpose. and Queries

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

The New Medicine Has Already Started q
Vice of Its Own.
The new coal-tar product, antipyrin,
has already started a vice of its own.
This singular compound was discov-
cred by German chemist, and on &C
count of its remarkable qualities is now
used the world over. It has the power
of reducing the temperature of the
body by several degrees, and so is of
vast utility in treating fevers and fe-
verfsh stages of many diseases. It does
it's work by depressing the action of
the heart and generally when en-
ployed by physicians, it is accompa-
MED with digitalis to neutralize its in
fuence in the latter regard. Women
use it partly because it is q sedative
nd partly because it makes. the COM
2lexion beautifully clear and pale
by keeping the blood away from
the surface of the body. The
habit, like all others, grows
upon the person who practices
it. 1t does harm, however, from the
first. With women who are weak it
increases their weakness; with those
having a predispOsitiOn toward heart
disease of any sort it increases the
tendency to terrible extent. Besides
these results, antipyrin exerts pecul-
lar influence upon the blood, which is
| not yet thoroughly understood by the
faculty. 1t seems to undergo some de-
composition or breaking down when
absorbed by the system, developing
unknown compounds, which either at
tack the blood itself or else powerfully
influence the nerves and ganglia which
control the vital functions. American
