ABOUT EASTER EGGS.
Grandmother's Way of Dyeing Them
Beautiful Hues.

Anline dyes and with them the ab-
solutcly harmless Easter ogg pigments
are. we are told, soaring higher as TO
price and falling short as to quality
with every day BY taking bit more
trouble. however, the mother who oh
iects TO spending more money for an
inferior article than it is worth MAJ
turn out eggs quite as attractive as
the costly decorated ones b. dyclng
them as our grandmothers used to do
them.
Grandma had but two dyes at her
command, from which she evolved
many shades by commingiing aud d.
luting the "tca" which she procured by
sleeping logwood and pernambuco
wood. She produced charming nad ar.
tistic effects by laying tender leaflets,
blades Of grass, red onion peel cut in
stars and cfescents or just applied In
a sort Of hit and miss manner upon
the ogg and winding narrow white
tape round aud round the egg to keep
the leaves and peels in place An cgg
so svaddlcd, il boiled for half an hour
in strong tea or coffee or even in plain
water, viii come oct a ycritlblc little
thing of beauty. Just wrapping an cgc
in this way in onion skins or young
and tcndcr spinach leaves and boiling
for an hour will result IN lovely green
or red "marblcd" eggs.
Grnndma's finest results. however,
were obtained by treating the eggs pre-
yiously boiled stone hard as follows:
With Il wooden meat skcWer dipped in
melted wax grandma took a candle
ana melted it down. but paraflin is far
better She drew upon the eggshclI in
heavy lines an initial monogram
chick or bunny and submerged the eggs
so decorated for tWenty-fnur hours in
strong vinegar, the whittier the better,
after which She Thoroughly rinseA them
in water not TOO hot. The vinegar eats
away the lime surface Of the egg, lcay-
ing the rarallin lines standing out in
high relief. Eggs so treated look like
old ivory carvings and are truly ar
tistlc.

HORNS IMMUNITY
DANGEROUS TO u. S.,
DECLARES BRIEF

Washington. Jan. In atbrief fill
ed in the supreme court Saturday the
department of justice declares that if
the courts uphold Werner Horns plea
of immunity from prosecution in con-
nection with the dynamiting of the
international bridge near Nanceboro,
Ne. the result will be to make this
country during the present war
playground for belligerent foreign dy-
namiters holding commissions in for
eign armies
Born, German, claims immunity
on the ground that he committed only
an act of war against Canada. If his
plea for a habeas corpus writ is grant
ed on that ground. the governments
brief contends. his immunity would
apply to thousands of other reserViSt
officers Of belligerents in this country
threatening the life anG sovereignty
of our government"
Nothing could be more destructive
of internatio law than to hold that
acts of foreien individuals, not ex-
pressly authorized or adopted by their
government, are acts of the foreign
nation and not of the individually CON-
tinues the brief. such a holding
would be a threat to the safety OF this
country and to the peace of the world
Certainly, this court will not imply an
authority from the German govern
ment to one of its subjects to violate
the criminal laws of the United
States"
