Easter Eggs.

One big New York factory. that supplies
the trade with candy Easter eggs, turns
out 100000 a day. Think of the great
numbers of eggs made by all the candy egg
factories taken together. These eggs, as
you know, of all sizes. from the tiny
ones. that sell five for penny. to the large
ones with pictures inside, and that often
sell for SO each. If you want to try max
ing such eggs. get out fiat, long handled
pan from cooks kitchen closet put in II
some shelled almonds, vanilla beans, marsh
mallows. or anything you want to use for the
center of these eggs. Shake the pan round
and round in a white sugar syrup, that you
can make according to any experienced
cooks recipe for candy syrup. When
these eggs are shaped and as large as you
want them, let them get hard. and after
that decorate them by using white icing In
paper funnel. Cook will show you how to
do this also. The icing must be thin enough
to run easily. Try it and see what you
can do.

So the two little girls went back to the

She made a basket of grass and straw,

some pure white ones from the woodpeck-

GALOPOFF, THE TALKING PONY
A Story for Young Folks.

CHAPTER III.


THE MOTTO FOR GALOPOFF.
Pauline" said Lola to her little friend
one afternoon a week or two after the pony
Galopof had told his second story-which,
by the way. did not altogether agree with
the first account Of his adventures-"do you
know. I sometimes wonder whether Ga1op-
off always tells the TRUTH"
80 do l." Pauline answered. "for no.
ticed how he said the first day he talked
to us that he could speak only one day in
the year. while the second time he said
that he could talk once month";"
II noticed that. too Lola replied. land
there were some other queer things about
his stories. But. after all. what does It
matter? Ponies don't have to obey the same
rules that we do. I am sure he's not
naughty. for he hasn't a single trick. He
never kicks nor bites. nor baIks, nor does
any of the things that are wrong for
horse. He's good pony whether he tells
the truth or not. Perhaps he forgets or is
mistaken"
He ought to be talked to. and made to
tell the truth Pauline insisted. II know
what we can do"

'sWhy, let us make one of those nlottos
about always speaking the truth. and hang
1t up in his STALL Pauline answered, 'just
as they do in school. Come. we can paint

Dear Juniors:
l wonder how many Of you could name
the people who went with Abraham when
he left his home to go tolthe strange new
home. which God had promised him. If you
cannot name them gekyour Bibles and turn
to Gen. kills which is the reference for
our first lesson story in this series of les
sons in the Life of Abraham
You will find that Abrsham's nephew.
Lot was a member of the little party, and
il you will read on through the story
think you will find out that Lot was a very
selfish man. Our lesson story today tells
US how his selfishness got him into trouble.
Abraham and Lot had lived in their new
home for many years and had grown very
many servants. and 1t seemed best to Abra-
ham that they should separate. So they
climbed to the top of a high hill and looked
out on the beautiful country. Abraham told
Lot to choose first. and Lot chose what
seemed to him to be the best part of the
land. But selfshness always leads to sin.
and Lot found that the land which had
looked SO beautiful to him was full OF
wicked people. What is still worse. he al
lowed these people to influence him, and
soon fell into their evil ways. In later
lesson we will learn how God showed
mercy to Lot. and saved him.
are like Lot in wanting to have the best
of everything for themselves? Do you
know anyone. for example, who Is inclined
to be selfish at play?-for the playground is
a good place to take notes.
I think We all know boys and girls who
always insist upon choosing the game to
be played. and If they cannot do this they
refuse to join in the game chosen by an
other. The unselfish boy or girl is always
willing to abide by the choice of another,
and to join heartily in the sport. even
though another game may have been pre-
ferred.
Unselfishness is always beautiful and at
tractive. and if we think for a moment, we
will see that the reason some of our play
mates are more popular than others is be-
cause they are always willing to give up
their own way and fall in with the plans
of others.
To be selfish is to think first of ourselves.
To be unselfish is to think first of others.
AS we compare the action Of Abraham with
that of Lot. in this lesson. let us learn the
beauty of unselfishness. and resolve to be
unselfish in our own lives. Yours for the
juniors, EDITH VIRGINIA BRADT.
