EASTER EGG HUNT.
An Old but Amusing Game Imported
From Germany.

An old Easter custom. imported from
Germany. is the egg hunt equally
enjoyed by the children of royalty
and those of American parents any
where. For this it is obvious that can
ly eggS should be selected and that the
hiding places should not be unreach-
able by short legs and arms. None
should be hidden higher than the little
heads of the hunters.
Provide dainty small baskets to hold
the finds and caution the children
that there is TO be no climbing. Small
boys have Il habit-or, let us say. they
are often unfortunate-in the breaking
of valuable bric-a-brac. Give them no
chance in this game.
Suitable prizes for the one whose
basket is the fullest when the hunt
ends may be had ut any stores selling
such things in the shape of Il big egg
with bonbons in it or perhaps II with
n set OF jackstraws, always a delight
to children. Have the hunt last just
long enough to leave them all eager.
count the eggs in each basket and have
some small consolation" prize for each
and every one.

the Old Lion.
An old lion was SO weak he could no
longer hunt for prey. He therefore lay
in his den and gave out that he was so
i'll he thought he would die. When the
beasts heard of this they were very
soorry, for they looked on the lion as
their king. One by one they went to
see him. This was just what the lion
wanted, for he could easily kill them
one at a time, and then he grew fat on
his prey.
At last a fox, who thought he knew
what was going on, made up his mind
to call on the old king and ask him how
he did.
"-Ah, my dear FRIEND" said the lion,
"how good Of you to come and see me!
But do not stand so far off. Come near
and speak a word Of hope to your poor
king who has but a short time to live"
"Ah,' said the fox, II fear l must not
stay, as it grieves me to say so, for. to
tell the truth, the footmarks l see all
point toward your den. and l think it
strange that none of them point away
from it,

Trick With a Strina.

Tie together the ends Of Il piece of
string about two feet long. Pass it
thus tied through a buttonhole Of the
performers coat. Hitch each end on
to one or other of the thumbs, catch
up with the little fingers the upper
strings on the thumbs of the other
hand; then stretching out the hands
will have the effect Of giving the string
a very complicated appearance. If the
hold Of the right thumb and left little

string will come away from and seem
