DAINTY EASTER CONCEITS.
Prevailing Fancies That Convey tue
Easter Sentiment.
The ideal Easter remembrance is in
harmony with the influences of the
day, and it covers a multitude of gifts
appropriate in every way for the feast,
the season and the individual tastes.
From the simple Easter card the cus?
tom of exchanging gifts at this season
has grown almost as widespread as
Ohristmas giving. The Easter displays
in the shops in connection with Tue
bright Howers, spring millinery, new
goods and other temptations in the
way of shoppers are made as much of
in a business way. Tho fashions
change, however, and what was consid?
ered as thoroughly artistic last year
looks just a bit shabby cow. The
dainty elegance of what is to be had
this spring in anticipation of the de?
mand shows the hold the festival has
iax the popular favor.
The Easter souvenir par excellence is
a flower. It represents all the senti?
ment of nature's reawakening because
lt is her most choice gift to earth. "Be?
hold the lily in its glory." The odorous
and waxy white blossom has grown to
?o typical of the day, and it is the
queen of Easter fragrance and charm.
If you know anything at all about
flowers-and if you do you are just as
mire to love them-it amounts to a post?
graduate course in a floral education to
stop at a florist's window or walk
ibrough the shop.
AU the bulbous piants are now in the
keight of their beauty. The lilies nod
4beir handsome heads in a most pat?
ronizing way over the tulips, jonquils,
azaleas, narcissuses and the fragile
Sly of the valley. Genesta bushes,
gorgeous in their coloring, are valued,
as all yellow blossoms are in the
spring, for decorative purposes. The
Mooming marguerites and spirea sug?
gest the quiet of the churches, where
?0 many ef them will be used Easter
Sunday.
The violets and the pansies are
sweeter than ever and no less attract?
ive. No more delightful Easter gift
can be imagined than a pot of grow?
ing lilies, the earth around them hid

den away under bunches of violets. A
pretty jar filled with cut lilies is an- ?
other, or a box cf violets, a bunch of
roses, or roses mingled with white j
lilac. What could be sweeter and more j
-suggestive ci" the feast? The flowers j
fade, bm the thought which inspired i
the sending dees nor, nor that exqui- i
site sense of enjoyment which comes to i
the receiver.
After Howers the regulation Easter
souvenir is most likely to take the ?
shape of candy, books, cards and all j
the pretty trifles which have grown j
so fashionable in lat-.' years. The long
fast from candy which the feminine j
world is supposed to have been keep- t
ing all Lent, both in the interests of
piety and health, makes it naturally a
most welcome gift. When it comes. ?
hidden away in the beautiful and j
artistic bonbonni?res which are sup
posed to be especially suggestive of the j
season, then the gift is really a joy, if |
not forever, at least for a good, long j
time. Three-fourths of all the novel- ;
ties are either chicken or egg shape |
or have this suggestion somewhere in j
their make up.
As an Easter emblem the egg is far j
ahead of anything else. Why it is so j
may be partly explained by the fact
that the Lenten fast cf the early
church did not permit the use of eggs
any more than meat At any rate, the ;
egg has the field, and nothing disturbs j
rt. There are eggs of silver, china. ?
glass and every other material, as well
as sugar. Some of the china and silver j
ones are superbly decorated and can ;
be put to many uses as a box. Many !
of the large ones have music boxes
hidden away in them. Tiny \ilver
eggs, adorned with a wishbone or with
fat Cupids astride of them, are other
forms.
Some of the newest bonbonni?res
are made of straw lace braid, so
trimmed np with the satin bag lining
and the ribbon rosettes that if it was
not for the little chicle perched in one
corner the whole affair might be taken
for a new spring bonnet. A pretty
doll, dressed In a watteau gown and
a much borlowered bonnet on her yel?
low curls, has concealed under her vo?
luminous petticoats a receptacle for
candy.

from the others.
Sad) a one forms the story of an
ancient legend of France.
There lived in a viiinge a widow,
with a dear and beautiful daughter,
named Jeanne; who was beloved foi
! her many virtues by both rich und
poor. She used to visit the bo vols ot
the unfortunate and the sick, to relieve
their troubles and care for their dis
tresses, for which she received their
blessings and devotion.
One Easter morning, when returning
from early mass, Jeanne met an old
beggar woman, who asked for alms
Jeanne gave her what she had", aud
! the stranger peered through her ragged
hood at the pretty young girl, saying:
"Beautiful damsel, do not disdain the
gift of a poor beggar. Take this egg.
and before this day 12 months a young
and handsome nobleman will ask for
you in marriage. You will become a
great lady. On your wedding day 1
command you to break this egg. lt con?
tains a nuptial present."
Not far from this village rose the tur?
rets of an old castle, which had long
remained untenanted, but within this
year a young knight arrived at its
gates, proclaimed himself heir to the
estate, and refurnished its bare and
shabby rooms.
The lord of the castle chanced one
day to see Jeanne, and, dazzled by her
beauty, sought her mother, saying that
Sir Robert de Volpiac asked for her
hand in marriage.
The day was arranged for the w*>d
ding, which was celebrated in the
chapel of the castle in the presence of
the bridegroom's aristocratic friends
When the feast was ended and all
the guests had departed, the bells of
the tower tolled out the 12 booming
strokes of midnight.
The bride and bridegroom went into
their beautiful room, and Jeanne, tak
ing her arm from that of her husband,
walked over to a carved oaken chest
and brought out a casket which she
had ordered to be placed there.
Her husband watched her move?
ments with great curiosity, and when
she said:
"My dear lord. 1 have promised to
break this egg on my wedding day."
and told him its history, he begged lier
to wait until morning.
Jeanne, however, would not listen to
his entreaty, and -lifted the egg from
its place, it was burning hot. With a j
cry she let it fail, and it broke.
An enormous toad leaped out of the
broken shell, vomiting fi?mes, which
set fire to the curtains, and the wicked
tongues of fire soon spread from wall
to wall, until the whole castle was en
veloped.
The next day there was nothing left
but a heap of ashes, for the entire eas
tie burned, and all its inmates perish
ed. through the gift ot that fatal Eas
ter egg from the hands of an evil spirit.

FAVORITE EASTER SALADS
What Fashion Ia Prescrib?::*; fror
Spring Lnnchexin?.
Salads thai are new and wonderful
in their combinations are to De the gas
tronomic fad of this Eastertide Near
ly every popular hostess tn New York
is endeavoring to devise for her San
day night suppers, luncheons and
"high teas" some one dish that will bo
hailed with acclaim as delicious and
original.
It is the fruit salad that is the latest :
and has most strongly taken the fancy j
of epicures. Apple salad, orange salad |
and grape fruit salad are the favorites.
Apple salad is a curious dish. Large,
round, red apples are selected, care be
jug taken to choose those without daws.
The top of each is cut off and the ap
pie's inside scraped out with a sharp
knife. The "shell." thin as possible,
is set aside. The scooped out inside is
cut into small pieces, mixed with cel?
ery, likewise cut up, aud tue whole
dressed with mayonnaise. Into the
"shell.set on lettuce leaves upon an
'.individual" plate, the composition is
now put, a little dressing being spread
over the top and four or ti ve Spanish .
peppers added. Each guest has one of
these apples set before him.
Much the same general plan is fol- j
lowed in the making of orange salad. :
The salad itself is. of course, of a very j
different mixture, but the orange is
scooped out as is the apple, its top first j
being cut oil. What is taken from the '
orange is cut up line, and to it are add- :
ed weli chopped bits of bananas, seed- '.
less raisins and brandied cherries. A !
very little lemon juice is poured in as
these ingredients are being mixed to?
gether, and rum and sugar are poured
over the mixture just liefere it is put ;
into the orange "shell." The cut niT |
top is cut into thin slices, and these !
are curled over the top of the nov. till ;
ed up orange, with a reo cherry set iii
the center
Grape fruit salad is of two sorts. !n j
both cases the grape fruit is scooped :
out the only difference being in the j
way the inside is treated. In one ir is I
mixed thoroughly with oil and vinegar \
J- i
and then put back where It came from '
In the other the fruit after It is taken :
out is cut exactly as lt grows-In \
pieces like the eighths of an orang*- j
the pulp ls thrown away and what is \
retained Is mixed with susar and sher i
ry. This, en ten with a spooa from the
"shell." is un exceedingly delicious j
unhid and will be much In vogue for |

WILES OF THE FOX.
Some Clever Tricks by Which Rey
nard Baffles Hi? Pursuers.
A fox is entitled to all that is said
for its wisdom and sagacity. Not Long
ago the Washington hunt of Valley
Forge started a young fox in the North
valley hills, and the hounds were run?
ning it across the open field when the
hunters were surprised to see a much
larger fox come from the woods and
run diagonally across the track of the
young fox ahead of the hounds, and
when they struck the stronger track
of the bigger fox they took it up. young
Reynard thereby being saved from be?
ing run down and killed by the hounds.
Old hunters say they have frequently
witnessed this trick when young foxes
were being closely pressed and in dan?
ger of being run down and killed by
the hounds. Another and an even
sharper trick was played by an old fox
some weeks ago while being hotly
chased by hounds. The fox had run
some 20 miles, and while crossing an
open stretch of country was in danger
of being run down and killed. In a
field through which the fox was run?
ning with the hounds close to its heels
was the cellar of an old house, with a
portion of the walis still standing. The
fox made straight for the old cellar,
leaped into' it and made its escape
through a narrow opening in the walls.
The hounds, supposing the fox was
trapped, dashed into the cellar pell
mell, only to find Reynard gone and
themselves in a trap, as the hole in the
wah through which the fox had es?
caped was too small to permit them to
get through.
When the hunters rode up, they
found the pack in a trap, with one of
the hounds wedged fast in the hole
through which the fox had made its
escape. By the time the hounds were
got out of the cellar the fox was safe
In its hole.-Philadelphia Times.
Thc ?lullet and thc Mark.
"General Lawton.*' said an officer
who served with that fearless com?
mander, "once said to me that the

might be, and then he related an inci?
dent which occurred during the civil
war. In une of the engagements of

whether or not he mentioned the place
-a piece of shell hit the ground near
where a soldier was standing and
scared him so badly that he jumped
s:r:ti.u?i? up In the air like a rabbit. As
he did so a minie ball knocked off the
crown of his bead.
" 'That was the one particular bullet
intended to kill him,' said General
Lawn,ii. 'and he actually had to jump
after il.'

Sixteea?la Century Apples.
Apples bo so divers of form and sub?
stance That i? were infinite to describe
them all. Some consist more of aire
then water, as sour puffs calle! Maia
pulm?n ea: others more of water then
wind, as sour Gastaras and Pome wa?
ters. To be short, ail apples may be
sorted into three kinds, sweet, soure
and unsavory. Sweet apples ease the
cough, quench thirst, cure melancholia,
comfort the hean and bead, especially
it" they be fragrant and odoriferous,
and also give a laudable nourishment.
Soure apples binder spitting, straiten
tile brest, gripe and hurt the stomach,
encrcase r>iileirtn and weaken memory.
Sweet apples are to be eaten at the
beginning of meal, but soure and tart
apples at the latter end. All apples are
worst raw, and best baked or preserv?
ed.
Philip of Macedonia and Alexander,
his son, from whome perhaps a curious
and skilful herald may derive our Lan?
cashire men, were called Philomeli ap?
ple lovers because they were never
without apples in their pockets. Yea,
all Macedonians, his countrymen, did
so love them that having neer Babylon
surprised a fruiterer's boy they strived
for it that many were drowned.-Dr.
Thomas Moffett in 1575.
Plant? Tlmt Intoxicate.
Bumblebees, butterflies and beetles
are habitual drunkards. In some of
the southern states insects alight on
certain plants, drink heartily from the
blossoms and fall to the ground stu?
pefied. After awhile they rise and fly
around, just as drunken men would do i
if they had the power of flying. Their
antics are especially amusing unless
one does not know what is the trouble.
In this case the suspicion that the in?
sect world has gone crazy is upper?
most.
A scientist who had observed the
drinking and i's results collected a
teaspoonful of the pollen to see if it
would affect a man the same way. He
swallowed it and in a few minutes
found his pulse beating faster and a
rise of temperature. Then he distilled
some of the blossoms and gave himself I
a hypodermic injection in the arm. He
became decidedly dizzy as a result. By j
further experiments he found an oil de- j
rived from these plants which affects j
human beings and animals alike.-New ?
York Telegram.
The Roa-nc Saved the J aclare.
A judge of the English high court j
was once arrested on suspicion of hav- j
ing burglarious designs on the house !
of a friend in Mayfair. The police
officer charged him in the police sta- j
tion with loitering with felonious intent. ?
and the prisoner's description of him- j
self as one of her majesty's judges was
received with a grin of sarcastic deri?
sion.
At that moment an old offender was j
brought in who happened to catch
sight of his lordship's face, which he
had good reason to remember.
"You here, my lord!'' be exclaimed,
with unfeigned astonishment "Well,
this beats cockfighting."
The rogue's unsolicited corroboration
of the judge's declaration saved the
situation, and bis lordship was allowed
to depart in peace.
