In France the largest eggs were taken
from the nests and offered as tribute to the
King. In that country the cure makes the
rounds of the houses of his Pensioners
which he blesses and receives in return
present of a basket of eggs. The angels
are supposed to descend from their abode
on high, bearing baskets of eggs for all
good children. In Paris it is the universal
fashion to offer eggs, in one shape or an
other, to even the eommonest acquaint-
ances. Sometimes beautifully decorated

cious sweets. Frequently the semblanee of
an egg contains gloves, handkerchiefs aud
even lewelry. A very acceptable egg rival

pretty fashion Of presenting bOnbons or a
dainty souvenir in shape of a card or book,
or tiny basket of colored eggs, is steadily
growing in favor in this country.
First get your eggs. 1t is perhaps need
less to say they must be fresh. Put the
eggs on the stove in vessel large enough
to held the quantity you wish to prepare
and sufficient water to cover completely.

cured at any druggists Dyes must be kept
hot, and the eggs must be dyed Immediately
they are taken from the hot water. other

The Poles have always been noted for
their strict observance of the solemn fes-
tivities OF the church. The Easter feasts
in the castles of the nobility are on scale
of prineely magnifcence. Even the food
on the table is blematic. In Russia Eas-
ter is not only the most prominent event in
the church, but partakes of the nature of a
national celebration. The Saturday pre-
ceding is called "Willow Eve" The will

palm. which signifies Christs entry into
Jerusalem. Every one takes a bath "a most

Nicollet Republican Convention.

The Republicans of Nicollet county
held their convention last Saturday and
nominated G. r. DAVIS of St. Peter for
the senate, Jos. Diepoider of Lafayette
for the lower house, Chas. Hensel of
st. Peer for auditor, John Webster of
Norseland for treasurer, G.. A. Blom-
berg of St. Peter for clerk, John Peter.
son of St. Peter for judge of probate,
L. Hermanson of Norseland for regis
ter Of deeds, j. II. Block of St. Peter
for sheriff, A. A. Stone of St. Peter for
attorney, DR.. Skinner of St. Peter for
coroner, and G. G.. Schulz also of St.
Peter for superintendent of schools.
From the aboYe it will be seen that the
St. Peter people gobbled onto almost
everything. They have eight places
on the ticket and apparently gave only
such positions to the country as were
not wanted particularly by themselves.
The nomination for clerk, which was
sought for by Louis Mueller of Court
land, was given to ahSt. Peter man in
spite Of the protest OF the delea ates
from the western end of the county,
and then to satisfy the latter they put up
JOS Dicpolder without his consent for
representative. Dissatisfaction among
the Republicans of Lafayette and Court
land is consequently general and the St.
Peter ring may yet be made to rue its
selfish action. Mr.. Mueller is a man
who is thoroughly acquainted with the
duties of the Office and who was fully
deserving of the nomination. To take
| it from him therefore in an underhand-
ed way was hardly a proper caper. As
MILFORD Bushard remarked, it will do
them no good. The nominee for repre-.
sentative, Mr.. Diepolder is undecided
as to accepting the nomination. The
nominee for judge of probate has held
the Office for nearly twenty years
Block and Stone are well known to
New Ulm people and throughout NicoI
let county. They are popular men both
of them.

These are the Census Figures.

The census department has made
public the figures for the First Mime
sofa district. The district contains %
of the 80 counties in the state and their
total population is 347,114, al the
counties but Dodge, Fillmore, Houston
and Olmstead show an increase and the
figures given below for those counties
show the decrease. The principal
towns of the district are Winona, Man
kato, New Ulm, Rochester, Austin,
Owatonna and St. Peter. The popula-
ton given St. Peter includes the hospi-
tai. When the patients of that institu-
tion are deducted it will leave the town
about 1900 people or over 1000 less
than New Ulm. The seven cities show
the following population in 1890 with
increase over 1880.

Twin City Population.

The census trouble between St. Paul
and Minneapolis is now, we trust, salts
factorily settled. Each town has had a
full and thorough recount, and the fig
ures, while not up to the mark Of boast
ing friends of either city, show remark
able growth. Minneapolis is given 164,
538 people in the recount while st, Paul
shows up with only 155,31o. This
makes a difference of over $1,000 in
favor OF Minneapolis, a adherence which
of course will make st, Paul enthusi-
asts feel awfully sore. The Minneapo.
lis figures show q surprising increase
of 251.75 per cent over the last census
or in other words gair Of III, 1851 peo-
pie in ten years.
