A FRENCH EASTER CUSTOM.
Tho Children Search Through House and
Garden for the Easter Eggs,

Aho ShAureh search through House and
Garden for the Easter Eggs.
AT Easter the French maiden, ia
vored by friend or sweetheart, does not
find her gifts at the breakfast place or
handed to her with the morning coffee,
but instead she has to search for the
treasures. They are hidden in all man.
ner of curious places. Little French
children have great fun over this Gus
tom. The kind mamma usually re-
ceives all the pretty gifts which come,
and with wonderful ingenuity places
them in places of which the small son
or daughter will think of probably
after all hope has been given up. The
pigeon-hole of desk makes excellent
hiding places for basket of sugar eggs,
the drawer of seldom-used bureau
may secrete a fat Easter rabbit, its
paws clasping candy egg filled with
sugar plums. The napkin at breakfast
may make good cover for painted
eggshell. The De Lesseps children, of
whom there were 13, were always very
active on Easter morning, rising with
the dawn. One year the brilliant dis
play of costly eggs were int1 usted to
the gardener of their house in Paris.
The house, which was on the Avenue
Montaigne, was not an extensive one,
but its garden had great number of
large flower bushes and had a high
hedge of laurel and hawthorne. The
gardener did his work well, and more
animated scene than that of the little
DE Lcsseps scuttling around the garden
Dftnr thair fran CT nn1tI1 mr. ha irno
ined.
If recollect rightly, all the eggs
which had been especially bought or
sent as gifts to the children were
wrapped in tissue paper and marked
'"Toto," Madeline" ETC., and the child
who found one which did not belong
to him or her carefully replaced it SO
as not to spoil the fun for the real
owner. A number of ordinary eggs,
simply gilded, silvered or colored, were
hidden which belonged to anyone who
might search well. A beautiful egg
basket which was full of sweets was
found dangling gracefully to branch
of lilac bush, the loose earth around
the newly planted pansies hid three
satin egg boxes wrapped iii tissue pa
per, empty flower pots we're treasure
stores for sweets and the hydrangeas'
broad leaves covered a multitude OF
beautiful presents, while even live
Easter rabbit was found cunningly
concealed by two heads of lettuce
which lay on top of his lattice box.
This is an amusing and pretty custom
which would cause much amusement
among American children.--N. Y. Ad'

quit n-believ!n' yit. I've give the Lord
Il chance"
The man walked heavily ncross the
floor and into the bedroom. This
mood was worse than the other. Peo.
pie had always called Mary Tyler a
sensible woman; but she had never
had any real trouble before, only fruit
spoling on her hands and the like.
She had been good woman, too, and
It did seem hard that the Lord should
try her beyond her strength. 1t did
seem awful, too, to hear Mary talking
IN that desperate fashion about giving
the Lord a chance. How much better
it would be to stand by the lily-covered
mound and, bowling to the Almighty's
will, be content to wait. Life after all
was short, and the baby, why the baby
had gone out of n heap of trouble, not
doubt of it. A warm tear splashed
on Pete Tyler's rough cheek. She was
such cunning little maid. If only
the old ceremonies were not altogether
laid aside, if only it were possible that
woman, praying all night with her
eyes upon u graveyard, could cause
the resurrection of that dainty flaxen-
haired baby. With what an amount
of energy she used to pull his boots
across the floor in the evening, get
ting them out of sight How quietly
she used to sit on the stool at his feet
and "fnlS!"
Mary Tyler turned the lamp dim be-
fore she took up her vigil at the win
dow. She had worked herself into the
right spirit. She was humble and sub
missive; she called herself hard names
TO the Lord, but she wanted her baby;
more than anything on earth or in
Heaven she wanted her baby. She
would be thankful for the favor;
though she lived to be an old, old
woman she would never get over be
ing thankful. She would be model

"Come in and shet the door," urged
Pete.
''The church bell is ringin'," cried
Mary, dropping her apron and turning
her fearful eyes toward her husband
"All them people will come a-crowdin
up from the village. They amt got nc

lieve; but L can't"
She came in then and shut the door
She went to work and cooked the sup
per. She put it on the table and seated
herself behind the steaming teapot; but
she did not cat.
Help yourself to drop of the tea,
said Pete; it'll make you feel better
Mrs. Tyler shook her head.

Four years ago the silverites, demo-
Gratis or republicans, Joined with the
goldites of their respective parties in
accepting declarations in favor of "leg-
islation which shall insure the MAIN
tenance of the parity of the two metals"
The quotation is found in both demo-
cratic and republican national plat
forms. This will O. the wisp of prom
Use worked, even on the broad stage of
national politics, but it cannot be eX-
pected to work again. Silverites and
goldites, democrats or republicans,
have shown that they are equally tired
of further Juggling with the subject;
and the next time each party will insist
that the truth as to it's beliefs and in
tentions shall be squarely told.
The hollowness of these promises of
legislation to put gold and silver on d
parity, has been proved by the COM
plete failure of either party to attempt
it. Since the PRONUNCIATION of the ma
tional platforms of 1892 the silvermen's
scheme for free coinage, or silver mono
mctalism, has been the single legisla-
tive proposition put forward any
where; and with fTee-silver coinage,
not dollar in gold would circulate on
par with silver.
The gold men, who believe in main
tanning the gold standard of our cur
rency, and in saying so, have offered
and will offer no Legislation whatever
to insure or to create a parity between
gold and silver other than the male-
shift parity existing, under which near
ly $60O,000,000 of silver are maintained
on parity with gold. None the less, they
offer a change, from what we have, of
priceless value. They offer the pros
perity which springs from sure and
stable monetary standard, the indis-
pensable foundation of Industrial con-
fidence and enterprise. They consti-
tute the overwhelming majority OF the
people of the United States, and il
either the democratic or the republican
party fails TO pronounce their senti-
rucnt in it's platform this summer 1t

for it's folly.-N. Y. Sun.

wept over the loss of sight and hearing
and teeth. But the baby Who could
stand beside n little bit of n grave like
that and be satisfied and thankful In re-
gard to the ressurrection? Not Mary
Tyler, certainly.
"Why couldn't the Lord a-talen her ~
Mrs. Tyler stood in the door of her little
cottage; her eyes were gazing down the
road as she strained her ears to catch
the sound of child's voice sobbing.
"Its Idy's baby you mean?' Pete
rose from the wooden chair by the table
and also came to the door. Its hard
for little child to have no mother"
"No mother and no one that wants it,
no one alvin that wouldn't t be grateful!

Mrs. Tyler; "but He sent fer mine

Pete went back to his chair, for what
words of comfort could he offer? She
wouldn't hear of going TO church; she
wouldn't listen to any talk of the far-of
resurrection. She wanted her baby
close in her arms, She wanted it's
morning kiss, she wanted to rock it to
sleep at nights.

the woman in the doorway. She had
thrown her apron over her head and was
leaning heavily against the frame.
Give her back to me, Lord!"
"That amt a-doin' no good" said the
man, soothingly.

with Pete even when he was terribly
out of humor, remembering that the
hest of men will lose their tempers at
times, and she would attend church
every Sabbath, rain or shine.
The view from the cottage window
took in piece of the moonlit road, the
glorified old church and the graveyard.
The neighbors had said that it was a
pity Mary Tyler lived so near the grave
yard, it kept her trouble fresh. But
she was glad as she knelt there praying
the exact spot where she must look to
see that little white-robed figure start
for home. When would it happen
How long must she pray?
The wind rose a little. The woman at
the window could see the branches OF
tie pine tree swaying over the lily
covered mound. Lord, it's ~ O'clock
she murmured; won't you let her

One, two, three three times the
lIitcbcn clock sounded. Was it posi-
BILE that the sounds were only an hour
apart?
-Four o'clock! o Lord, won't you

After four o'clock hopeless feeling
settled upon Mary Tyler. Her head
sank on her hands; she had no more

Clear and peacefully the bell rang
out. The people crowded up from the
village. She knew how the procession
filed from the doors of the church, the
minister leading. Yes, it was very beau
tiful. They were in the graveyard, the
dawn was breaking in the east, meI
and women and children were singing

Popular verdict to Be Rendered.

With separate silver organization
in the field there will be less tempta-
tion to seek to conciliate the silver ele-
ment by compromising on the money
question. There is no reason to sus-
pect that the new party will draw much
more heavily from one of the old or
ganizations than from the other. And
both the old organizations will be bet
ter off and more efficient as servants of
the people without the free silver men
who at present belong to them. 1t is
fortunate, too, that the new party is
to stand fairly and squarely for indie
pendent free coinage at the sixteen to
one ratio. There are no dubious utter
ances in the declaration of principles.
The faith of the party is pledged to the
doctrine that this government can by
legislation add so cents worth of value
to the so-called silver dollar, or sub
tract so cents worth of value from the
gold dollar. Thus, with a separate
party organization and clear and un-
equivocal declaration of principles,
there is hope that we may get de-
cisive expression of public opinion on
the money question at the approach
