end Of the egg a verse from the Koran
Is engraved, and the body proper con-
tains a scene on the Nile with small

the background gives glimpse Of the

South America also follows the Gus
tom, and in the Argentine Republic
every little store on the main street
has on exhibition eggs OF all colors and
designs on the first spring day, as an.
nounced by the calendar. One partlcu.
lar design is usually adopted, showing
a planter astride of his horse, with q
young girl sitting behind him. An
other popular design contains on one
side map Of the republic, and on the
other side two clasped hands, with a
liberty cap below and the rising sun
above. Small geometrical figures in
| close the design. The designs are en-
graved rather deep, which is consid
cred an art in itself.
The custom is centuries old, and the
ornamentation Of Easter eggs is re-
| garded as a great work Of art in the
countries Of the east. In fact, the his
tory of art in those far-off lands really
had its birth in the crude designs
which embryonic artists first etched on
the shells Of ostrich eggs.
The nursery game Of making a
chair" by two children clasping hands
for a third to sit upon, is relic c.
the practice of lifting" an old Easter
custom in which two people lifted a
third person three times. If anyone
refused to be lifted, he or she must
pay slight forfeit, forfeits being ap
piled to buying refreshments after the
village games. A kindred custom was
that which prevailed in the Yorkshire
villages, of taking the buckles from
each others shoes and demanding a
forfeit for their return, the earnings
being applied to the same end as those
obtained in the lifting.
The game of picking eggs" which
Is still popular among boys, is record
ed as early as 1894. 1t is said to have
originated in Mesopotamia. For forty
days before Easter the children accu-
mulated as many eggs as they could
buy or beg. These were dyed at first
in the one color, red; afterward in
many colors. Then, when Easter came
the children would 60 about challeng-
ing each other to contest Of the
strength Of the shells Of their respec-
tive eggs, this being determined by
knocking one on another, and the egg
which was first cracked became the
property of the owner Of the egg in
flicting the damage.
In Germany the Easter hare is al
most as important figure in nursery
lore as the Christmas st. Nicholas.
The German children believe implicit.
ly in the egg producing power of the
hare, and when about Easter time they
see one running across field, they
clap their hands and shout after it:
Hare, good little hare, lay plenty Of
eggs for us on Easter day." Children
are taught to believe that If they arc
good and mind their parents, and are
truthful and kind to one another, s
white hare will steal into the house on
Easter eve, when everybody is fas,
asleep and hide all sorts of beautiful
eggs for good little boys and girls tc
find next morning.

Why We Color Eggs at Easter.

Why We Color Eggs at Easter.
"The Syrian bulbul (nightingale)
has the loveliest voice in all Cod
creatures and the saddest song ever
heard. Shady coverts fringing the
Jordan still shelter the bird that
sings darkling.
There is legend that the bulbul
sat In the olive tree in the garden of
Joseph Of Arimathea, and, the night
before the Resurrection, through the
darkness poured out her soul in sor-
rowing plant above the still sleeper
in the tomb wherein was never man
laid. When the first Easter morning
broke over the eastern hills the eggs
in the nest of the broodlng bird
sparkled with gold, blue. orange and
crimson; and SO we color eggs at
Easter for a memorial Of the lone
singer who sang by the Holy Sepul-
chre 1900 years ago. From @The
City Of the King" by Mrs. Lew Wal.

And each of her own life upon the earth

While in mine ears still rang the poets rhine,
Leading my dream this way.

Some light and merry; some in other mood,

Some carried pencil, pen, and many-a book
And for the highest places some did rush
While some the lowest took.

THE WEE LITTLE FAIRY FROM
BUG-A-BOO LAND.
(Helen Wells, in Club Woman

(Heen Wells, in Club Woman)
Long long ago, when the little fairies lived in
the ly's cup or dwelt in the scarlet blossoms of
the tru1npet-creeper, there was little boy named
Ladde, who ought to have been very happy, indeed
for his home with the dearest Grandma that
ever existed!
But the little imp of Discomfort had stolen into
his heart and it made him very unhappy and dis
agreeable. 1t made no difference what he had he
always wished it was something else or where he
went he would always rather be i'll some other place
1t was impossible to please him.
Grandma saw this fault and it worried her
greatly.
One day as she sat on the piazza, leaning her
head against the back of the rocking chair, she
suddenly of the scarlet blossoms of the
trumpet-creeper bend down and down until it was
very close to her face. and to her surprise out
stepped the smallest lady she had ever seen. She
dressed all in scarlet from the tip of her point
ed cap to the bottom of her hgh-heeled slippers
As she looked up laughingly into Grandma's
kind eyes. she exclamed:
Il am little Tree-lo from Bug-a-boo Land
When you're in trouble Pm always at hand"
Thank you" said Grandma. ''What is your
crrand:"
"1hc Fairy Queen has sent
For the imp of Discomfort
That is lurking in the spirit of your child.
And where Ger that imp mag be,
Much trouble shall they Sec

Grandma sighed and said:
IF you'll take that imp away
| will bless YOU every day

What may happen, who tell :"
Just then beautiful broad-winged butterfly
came sailing slowly along and paused while the
little fairy hoped nimbly up It's back. Then
again spreading It's wings, it few gracefully away.
Around and around went the fairy and the but

the shore of the lake with his fish-poe i'll his hand
and all the time they were flying over his head
the fairy was waving her wand and chanting:
''May the magic spell work deep;
May the mystic charm hold fast;
May the Fairies vigil keep,
Till this evil be outcast."
The voice of the fairy sounded like music and
Iaddie looked around TO sec from whence it came
and when he beheld the little fairy i'll scarlet upon
her butterfly horse, he laughed outright.

cried 'What is your nam"

THE IDYLLS OF THE KING.

the ediice-a monument against which the Gle

forces all in vain. Amidst the rush and hurry of
the noisy 18th century slowly, silently, beautifully,
out Of the misty legends of longzforgotten past,
the architect gradually wrought into being THIS
1arest structure Of modern epica literature. From
several expressions in his pocms gather that the
mediaeval love of his native land had a peculiar
fascination for him. hence it is not surprising that
he drew Gle stories of his masterpiece from the
tangled tales and uncertain records OF that chlyairc
age. Sir Thomas Malorys version seems however

THE RIGHT SORT OF A BOY.
Here's to the boy who's not afraid
TO do his share of work.
Who never is by toll dismaycd,
And never tries to shirk.
The boy whose heart is brave to meet
All lions in the way;
Who's not discouraged by defeat,
But tries another day.
The boy who always means to do
The very best he can;
Who always keeps the right i'll view,
And aims to be a man.
Such boys as these will grow to be
The men whose hands will guide
The future of our land; and we
Shall speak their names with pride.

One of the STAGES.

Over in New Hope, Ark, last week
the farmers of Green county held
meeting of the Educational and Coop
erative association for the purpose of
electing delegates to the state conven-
ton to be held in Hot Springs. Among
the prominent men in attendance was
Gen. N. Y. Crowley of Independence,
who is making the race for railroad
commissioner. While the session of
farmers was under way New Hope
maid with musical talents in the bud
opened up a piano across the way and
began that process known as cultivat-
ing the voice.
For goodness sake" exclaimed Gen.
Crowley, what noise is that?"
Gently, General" exclaimed Will
Burton of Caddo township, who had
lust been elected one of the delegates.
THAT noise is from young lady who
is having her voice cultivated"
Cultivated, huh" said the general;
"then it is evident the process of Gull
tivation has reached the narrowing
stage."-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Collars for the Season.

Some of the summer shirt waists
are fashioned with turn down collars,
made on to the garment. Some go
little further than this and beside
providing a collar on the garment, mt
It with band inside the collar SO
that a standing collar may be worn
with it. Shirt waists with self collars
which lie next to the neck, can never
be very popular, because the collar
soils so easily, and every time the col
lar got soiled or mussed the waist
must journey to the tub. Many girls
and women prefer the stiff linen col
lars with shirt waists even IN the
warmest weather. 1t is not to be de-
MED that they look neater than any
other style of neckwear, but there is
a severity about them which is not al
ways becoming to young faces, and
they are certainly uncomfortable
when the thermometer is ranging to-
ward the nineties. And there are so
many styles of pretty neckwear that
one can scarcely fail to find some
thing both suitable and pretty, outside
of the regulation stand up"

ItaIv's Industrial Advance.

Not many people in the United
States are fully aware of how rapidly
Italy is advancing in industrial impor-
lance. In some way northern Italy
has in the last ten years shown as
promising development in an indus
trial way as is to be found anywhere
in Europe. The never-failing water
supply of the snow-topped mountains
is being utilized by the electrical en-
gineers in a way which promises to
convert northern Italy into a great in
dustrial state. Nowhere in Europe is
there a population better fitted to aid
in an industrial development. The
people are dexterous. quick to learn
and industrious, and up to the present
time the general wage scale compares
favorably with that of any competitors
which they have to meet. The result
Of these favorable conditions has been.
for instance, the development of the
silk industry at rate which sounds
like statistics of American indus

He Meant All Right.

In connection with the annual
spring exposition of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts. which drew
only the other day to so successful
close, Philadelphians are hearing
story which is almost too good to be
true-though it arrives we'll vouched
for.
According to this the young and de-
cidedly pretty wife of one of the un-
successful applicants for admission to
the gallery's walls called upon GER
tain highly talented and well known
member of the jury to plead her hus-
bands cause. She was sincere; she
was eloquent; the great mans heart
was touched-but what could he do,
for he remembered only too well the
huge and glaringly colored canvas
which had been turned down. At
last he said:
Madam, go back and tell your good
husband that when he will send us in
picture as small and as charming
as pretty and we'll painted, as YOU"
There the story ends, with not a
word as to what followed the speech.

Linen a Strong Favorite.

Linen is leading everything-the
sheer handkerchief linens for blouses
and dresses, and the heavier for suits
and for the stunning three-quarter
coats. Some of the most stunning
new embroideries are combinations OF
English eyelet and blind embroidery
the eyelets making sort of frame
in which designs carried out in blind
work are set. Linen walking skirts,
embroidered simply or deliberately,
are making hosts of friends. That
linen with the big eyelets makes up
some Of the prettiest skirts, although
dots are a close second in popularity.
Lots of girls are buying plain linen
sheeting and embroidering shirt waist
and skirt to match. But they're wise
enough to use a simpler pattern In
the skirt than on the waist, so that 1t
can be worn with other blouses.

Short Jackets in Favor.

The everyday linen gowns, which,
by the way, in colors, will be among
the smart summer frocks for late
afternoon, are made with short jack
cts in preference to the long coats.
They are rounded in front, not meet
ing by three inches, are cut up slight
ly at the back, have elbow sleeves,
either finished with ruffie or slight
flare. There Is turnover collar
shaped to fit the shoulder, or rather
the neckband for these little Jackets
have long shoulder seams. 1t is made
of linen to match or to contrast, seal
Hoped and embroidered or finished
with still another shade Of the mate

ljnuerie Shirts.

Every single penny that can be
saved out of the dress allowance,
whether it be of the smallest or larg-
est description, should be devoted now
to the purchase of lingerie shirts.
Nothing is going to be more fashion-
able in the immediate future than
white embroidered blouses, very sim
ply made so that the establishment
that is given them is not overshadow-
ed at all by the extravaganza OF the
manner in which they are constructed.
Shirts one mass of broderie Anglalse
are modish, and shirts covered with
medallions Of raised embroidery with
eyelet-holes here and there are equal
" fashionable. They look delightrui
with a tailor-made coat and skirt Co.'S
tune, and as they wash like rag
they are not really extravagantly
costly purchases. Many of these love-
" shirts are made in Ireland, where
30 much white wear is embroidered.
Lingerie hats are going to follow In
the wake of shirts of this description
when summer comes, and as there IS
nothing more charming above girl
ish face, their possibilities should be
stored up in cherished remembrance.
