I rail rail ? rail ' ' ? nllrall ? ' Ono of the funniest and mo t unique pres ents which the Easter hare left In our houEO last year , wa a small caricature of himself renting In a head of lettuce. I made a close examination of thin gift and I think ho con structed It In much the following manner : Cut from a plcco of cardboard a disc with A diameter of about thrco Itufie.i , figure 1 , and draw through It the lines Indicated. Three or tnoro ohades of green tissue paper will bo required for the leaves. Figure 2 shown the relative size of each. The lighter ebidcs will represent the young delicate growth near the center or heart. About eight of the larger leaves ( A Fig 2) ) are neces. sary. Fold each leaf across lengthwise , the position of the crcaso IH Indicated by the dotted line. Now with the old of a hairpin , gather them as shonn In figure 3 , and paste to the cardboard disc , allowing the edges at each leaf to overlap allghtly. Large , dark Icavca will make the first layer and allow them to grow gradually lighter In color and .mailer In nlzc. The rabbit Is made from a hard-boiled egg. Figure 5 shown dim In tbo first stage of construction. Kyes , nose , mouth and leg nro drawn with black Ink. The outline Is elmple , and one who Is entirely unskilled In drawing should succeed In making a very respectable rabbit. Figure C shouB an oar cut from unruled writing paper. Figure 7 , the position the earn ohould occupy when attached ; this la also Indicated In figure C. The tall , small , but necessary , Is Indicated by figure 8. With Bomo red Ink , which has been slightly di luted with water , toucli up your rabbit about the ejtfl , nose and mouth. The rare should bo colored slightly where the black line passes through them ; see figure C. Lastly fs Ms ribbon ; this , you will notice , passck behind the cars. If It Is found dlfilcult to ke p It In place a llttlo panto may bo used. The rabbit , snuggled comfortably in the head of lettuce , will loalc happy In the extreme. .Another quaint design represented a small red gnome , who had evidently discovered one of our eggs and Intended appropriating It. When surprised by us ho was .seated , with a doleful expression , eagerly clutching the prize. Trace , en a piece of paper about one foot long and ten Inches wide , the gnome shonn In flguro 10. After cutting thlo out color In the following manner : Tint the face and hands with llesh color ( red Ink diluted with Voter ) , leave the beard white and paint all remaining parts bright red. Beginning at A. cut around the head to n and bend out slightly. Demi the gnome where the dottrd lines cross In such manner that the feet end upper part of the body will bo parallel and at right angles to the legs. Place an egg , bard-boiled , In his lap and fasten his arrru about Itlth a little paste. The beard may Also bo attached. ( Sco flguro 12. ) Flguro 11hows a support made of stiff car board ; It Is attached to the groom's back and aids him In keeping the position desired. After all left by the Easter bare has been discovered games are Indulged In. AN EASTBH RACE. Two boxes , each about one foot square , are placed some twenty feet apart , Into each arc rut four eggs and the course Is prepared. The two competitors In the race are each fur nished with a opoca and unsigned a box. At the word "ready" the contestants take a po- eltlon to tbo right ot their box. At the word "go" each takes from the box an egg , using ( or tbo purpose bis spoon , and . 'lurrying to Ilia opponent's box , there deposits It , after which he returns for another. The eggs muot ou no account be touched with the handa and to drop ono Is to forfeit the race. It will bo easily seen that , while both are con stantly endeavoring to empty this respective box , the opponent In.coch case Is constantly refilling It , but as their deftness cannot bo exactly equal , ono will soon begin to gain on the other and the excitement will rlso to fever heat. The race Is won by him who flrst empties a Is box. The game of "Tho Hare , the Egg and the , \Volf" affords excellent amusement. Flguro 13 shows a diagram of the board with the men correctly placed for the com mencement of a game. D the lair ot tbo bare , D the position of tbo egg , and the fwolt Is securely housed In his den. The pUy Is commenced by the wolf , who teals forth In search of prey. This he can only secure by moving between the bare nd his egg. Dut ho must carefully guard against allowing the hare to place him In that poslton by a move ot his own or by changing the poMtkii of his egg. The vital point ot the game seems to bo whether thla position ( the wolf directly between the hare and his egg ) Is attained by a move of thu wolf , or by a move by ono of hla quarry , In case ot the former the wolf Is defeated , < und ho who Is tuporliitcndlng his attack loses the game. In case of the latter , vice Following the lines In the dtisram. tbo wolf.

A race ot cave dwellers live on a small Island on the Alaskan coast. It Is Kings Island , In Derlng sea , duo south of Capo Prince of Wales. There Is only ono village there and this has a population of 200. Dr. Sheldon Jackson , the United States agent of education In Alaska , says that It Is ono of the most remarkable settlements In Amer ica , yet few people know of Its existence. Kings Island Is about a mile In length and Is a mass of basalt rock which rises perpen dicularly out of the oca to a height of from 700 to 1,000 feet. At the south sldo this Is cleft In two by a deep ravlno which Is filled by a huge permanent snow bank. High up on the west sldo of the ravine Is the village of Ouk-lvak , which consists of about forty dwclllngn , partly holloucd out of the cllft and built up outside with stone walls. Across the top of these walls are laid largo driftwood polea , over these are placed hides and over the hides grass and dirt. The houses are entered by a tunnel which runs alons underneath , sometimes for a distance often of fifteen feet , and ends under a | liolo eighteen Inches In diameter In the floor AN BASTER HDniT. . of the room above. Thla la the front door of the establishment. The tunnel la BO low that It Is necessary to stoop , and often to crawl , the enUro length of It. In summer thcso houses generally become too date ; * to Uvo In. The peopq ) then erect another dwelling on top ; this Is a tent of walrus hldo which Is stretched over a wooden frame and guyed to the rocks by ropes to prevent Its being blown off Into the eea. These tents allow of a room about ten or fifteen feet square and are entered by means of an oval hole In the hldo about two feet above the floor. A narrow platform two foot wldo runs along outside of the door and leads back to the hill. These platforms are often fifteen or twenty feet above the winter dwelllns below. At the other eldo of the deep ravine at the base of the cliff Is a huge cavern Into which the eea dashes. At the back of this Is a larco bank of perpetual enow. The cave dwellers use this as a storehouse. They dig rooms In the snow and store their provisions , which freeze solid anil keep the year round for the temperature In the lair never rises above 32 degrees. CAT'S CIl.tDbU. Winter Gnine f r.rooiilnnil Enklmo Ilo > Mini GlrlM. The Greenland Eskimo boys and girls amuse themselves during the Icag winter months with two familiar games. One of thcso Is "cat's crade. " While that game Is known to us , wo do not carry It to the ex { tent that the little Eskimos do. They ueo reindeer sinew In place of string which they do not have and play It by the hour. They make between 200 and 400 combinations. Some models of three have beeu brought to Now York by Lieutenant Peary and placed In the museum of natural history. Their other Indoor game Is "cup and ball. " They make both out of bone and Ivory and will throw the ball a long dlstence off and catch It again very deftly or elae they will toss it from ono to the other. The llttlo Eskimo boy , Meenl Kewub , one of the elx Cape York Eskimos brought hero by Lleutctinut I'eary , was given a humming top on board the Hope , Lieutenant Peary's iblp. The little fellow was delighted with It and In ten minutes he had learned to spin It as skillfully as any American boy. The Ks'/.lmo children never taste candy and bonbcas , 'out there \a \ something which tickles their palate quite as much and which they are just as anxious to get , that U raw suet , which they eat with great relish.

It la remarkable how eeldom people are able to keep goldfish for more than a month or two at most , and all because they neg lect a few iflrat principles.

They look pretty and tha fish appreciate being able to poke about among them for bits of food , and It glvro them something to do and a little interest in life. People frequently make the mistake of thinking that fish got enough food out of the water. This la not so : they need feed ing when In captivity. Packets of fishes' food , chiefly consisting of dried ants' eggs , can bo procured from any seed or natural ist's shop. As they require only a very email quantity once a day , their board Is not expensive. They will Uvo on vermicelli , but this clouds the water and consequently injures the appearance of the globe. It la eald that goldfish should never bo handled. This Is no doubt true , If they are kept for breeding purposes. Otherwise , It does 'them no harm If duo care Is exercised and you may pick them up ono by one In your bind and pop them Into their globes of fresh wplcr.

The navy takes boys In their apprentice and training ships , though there are at all tlmerj twenty times as many applicants as there are places for them. The urmy , even If on a war footing , never enlists boys under 10 years of age. Of late jears the boy has deopped out as a drummer , for at every post there le a 'band ' , which does a ay with the j necessity of drummers. " T.ITTM3 ELIZAIIET1I Tl.tRH.tSO.V.

Mrs. Harriet Kllcn Jefferson , 54 years old , was nuinJed last week at Indianapolis to Edward Dorsey , colored , whose ago Is nearly 100. Thla Is not the flrst matrimonial ven ture the groom has made. Ho now lias a record of six. By his othsr five wives ho had moro than forty children. The brldo htis been mairled thrco times and has eight children. The first marriage of each took place In slavery days. A romantli marriage took place In Lex ington , Ky. , recently.

They walked until they were overtaken by a friend In a break cart , who brought them to within three miles of Lexington. They walked Into town and were finally married. .Mls.3 Edra Whitney of Chllllcothc was married last Saturday at Stuttgart , Ark. , to J. IJ. Laney , a prosperous druggist of Stutt gart. 'Mlto ' Whitney will be remembered as the central figure In a social sensation that reached from ccust to coast last fall. She came prominently late notlco when the coin- nilttco ha\lng In charge the Kansas City cjrnlval refuse-d to allow her to become maid of hcnor because she worked in a tobacco factory. Immediately she became a herolno In the eyes of the laboring element and net Ions uftcrw r.ls the \ery persons who had baricd hsr- from the Flower Parade Invited ho ? to the Priests of Pallas ball , the greatest society event of the stuson In Kansas City. There shci met Mr. Lane and he proposed to her. She accepted , but for some reason the wedding wup postponed. Mr. j Luno returned to Stuttgart and Mica Whlt- " noy went back to ChWlcothc. She went to the Veiled Prophet's ball In St. Louis and was Ma > or Zelgcahcln'a rartner In a dance. The eastern papers made > a great to-da over her. Her pltures wore printed from Maine to California..She . received alV sorts" of offers to go on the stage , .but declined them.

" The good order which has prevailed at the Me-thoaist church since the revival tenlccs began la marked , sas the Monongahela ( Pa. ) Republican. Perhapu this may de1 on account ot the reputation which has como , to Monongaiela ahead of the pastor. It Is | staled that Rev. Mr. Johnson , once , while , located In a Beaver Valley fo n , somewhat - I what noted for Its tough element , wzo dis- | tui ed by some of them. At ono of his ' evening meetings the services were dlt > - turbcd by two young men , who audibly scoffed at everything they eaw or heard. Finally the pastor nemonstrated with them on their behavior and sakcd them why they attended the mcotlng. "Wo came expecting to See miracles per formed , " Impudcn'tly ' replied ono of the rca- cala. Liavlng the desk , and walking -quietly down the aisle , the pastor Nlzcd ere after the other by the collar , and , as they dis appeared out of the doo.- , remarked : "Wo don't perform miracles here , but wo do cast out devils.

"Tho flrst place I went to when I en tered the work , " said Mr. Lain , to a Chicago cage Chronicle reporter , "was a little town near Longvlew , Tex. I had announced that I had como to get the people Interested In forming a Sunday school , and that I would hold a meeting In a certain place. I hud been warned that Sunday school men were not wanted there , but I determined that I would rather dlo than desert my duty , I managed to gather < a little company in the school UOUKS and had a few volunteer teach ers at work when wo were interrupted by a knock. I was asked to step outside , and I went out and closed the door behind me. Facing and surrounding mo were ut least fifty armed men , led by a one-armed con federate veteran. " 'V.'o want you to leave hero at once , ' eald he. "I answered that I Intended to stay and do what I considered my duty. " 'Bring up the rope , ' yelled one of thu crow d. "A long rope was brought forward and the loop slipped over my head. " 'Now , will you , go ? ' they demanded. " 'Men , ' I tald , ' ! shall stay here , deader or alive. I don't fear to be killed , and if you are bound that I shall dlo all I ask Is a few moments to pray. ' "Then the one-armed man came up.

"Don't take that , " the judge said , "It has llttlo value , and Is a keepsake. " "The motion Is overruled , " replied the burglar. "I appeal , " rfiolned the Judge. The two burglars con sulted , and the spokesman then replied : "The appeal Is allowed. The case coming on before a full tribunal of the supreme court , that body Is of the unanimous opinion that the decree of the lower court should be sustained , and It Is accordingly so ordered.

Perhaps the gem of them all , however , Is the case of Cleaver v. Bacon , 4 Times Rep 27 , for In that case the court found It necessary to decide what con stitutes a butcher. Civil courts are dry enough places at al most any time , but then again there are all manner of funny Incidents cropping up In them.
