from tho land of Egypt, and it was used
in tho feast of tho passover as part of
tho fiinilturo of tho tablo with tho pns

Tho custom of dyeing eggs at Easter
tide dates back to tho Fourth century
of tho Christian church. Tho Romish
church at that era prohibited tho eating
of eggs during Lent. Tho store of eggs
which accumulated was counted tho
property of tho children, and to enhance
tho value of the eggs in their estimation
they were dyed with brilliant colors
and gayly ornamented.
Hero is tho right way to boil Easter
eggs: Boil fresh, clean, white eggs at
least ten minutes. Add 11 little dissolved
dye, any color wanted, and a teaspoon
ful of strong vinegar to a pint of water.
Then put in tho eggs, and let them re
main until tho desired shade is obtained.
Tho eggs may w eaten with safety after
being colored. Eggs can bo colored reu
by dissolving a little redwood, cochineal
or carmine in tho water in which they
are boiled. Let them remain in tho
water somo time. When done wipo
them with a flannel slightly oiled. Spin
ach water will make tho eggs light
green; saffron, yellow.
Tho patterns of any print may bo
transferred to the egg by sewing it up
In a piece of tho calico, tho right sido
next tho egg, and boiling tho egg for
about ten minutes in water in which a
tablespoon ful of soda has been dissolved.
Generally it will lie found best in
decorating eggs to "blow" them instead
of boiling. Pierco each egg with a
darning needlo and blow out tho con
tents. Then the shell is ready for deco
ration, and may bo painted in water
colors or sepia.
Tho street gamin does not loso his
share of Easter joy, though ho goes to no
church and has no new clothes to wear.
Eggs are cheapest at Easter, and tho lit
tlo fellows gamble with a gamo that is
called "picking eggs." Each boy looks
for tho strongest egg, testing it by tap
ping tho end against his teeth. The
sound tells whether tho egg is strong or
not. When tho particular young pur
chaser is suited with tho strength of his
egg ho finds somo lwy with whom to
"pick." Tho sharp end of tho egg is tho
"pint," tho round end tho "butt." Tho
pints are struck, tho boy who proposes
tho gamo striking first. Tho other boy
holds his thumb and forefinger around
tho top of his egg, so it can lw struck
only on tho "pint." Tho striker keeps up
his blows until 0110 egg is cracked. Then
ho holds up tho "butt" of his egg, and
tho other boy strikes it until one of those
is cracked. Tho boy who succeeds in
breaking tho other's egg at both ends
wins tho broken egg. He can sell all
ho wins for a cent apiece at homo or in
tho stores, where thero is always a brisk
trade for cracked eggs.
Tho egg rolling in tho White House
grounds each Easter Monday is a sceno not
reproduced anywhere else in tho United
States. The grounds are thrown open to
tho public, and parents and nurhes with
children of all ages como in tho morn
ing. They carry baskets of lunch and
others filled with gayly colored eggs,
which are to l)o rolled down tho grassy
slopes on which the children play, or
"picked" as tho street gamins do fresh
ones. Thousands of children fill the
grounds and play with eggs under the

'I'll do III"
Polhcmu Ollte laid down the paper ha
was reading, put his note glasses back in
his pocket, took his hat and tiercoat down
from thu hook mid started homo.
"I'll do III" ho re.wated to himself as ha
walked along. "I'll court my wlfo as If
bo were a girl again, the way tho follow
did In that nevspaier story. I expect it'll
go pretty tough," ho reflected, throwing
away his cigar and wiping his mouth care
fully as hu aniinmchcd his homo. "I'vo
been n good deal of a rhinoceros about tho
liouso, and It's a ham thing to DreaK oil
old habits all at once, but I'm Kolug to
glvo It a trial If It takes tho bldu olT."
Mr. 1)11(7. entered tho house, hung Ills
lint and overcoat In tho hall Instead of
throwing them down In a heap oil thu sofn
hi hi usual fashion. Then bo went on
tiptoe upstairs, put on his best necktie,
combed ids hair carefully, and came softly
down tho stairs again.
"Mary .lanol" ho called out. "Where- are
you. dear?"
"Out here," answered a voico in ma
kltchoii. "Did you bring that packauo of
chocolate I told you not to forget when you
wont down town this mornlngf"
"Why, no," said Mr. Wlta regretfully,
as ho wont Into tho kitchen. "I forgot It,
dear."
Mrs. Dllte looked at him suspiciously.
Ho hadn't called her "dear" for about
cloven years.
"You forgot It? Humplil I Just expected
It What aro you up to now"
This query, somewhat sharply uttered,
was prompted by an unexpected forward
movement on tho part of Mr. I) I It..
"Don't you seu I'm cleaning this chick
onr" she exclaimed. "Look outl You'll
make mo cut myself. I'm working at tho
gizzard. A man has no business poking
round in thu kitchen whou ho can't do any
good."
Mr. Dlltz stepped back. Uo had Intend
ed to kiss Ills wife, but concluded to post
nono tho matter for a llttlo while.
"Mary Jano," bo said, "my dear"
"What aro you all slicked up for, any
how? Going anywhere?"
"No, love. 1 expect to spend thu rest of
tho day at homo, t ciuno an hour or two
earlier, thinking"
"I wish you bad brought that chocolate.
That's what I wish."
"Darling," said Mr. DilUs, "I that's no
way to go to work at a chicken gizzard.
Lot mo"
"Maybo you know ninro about this kind
of work than I do. Maybe I haven't cleaned
hundreds of chickens since I'vu been keep
ing house? What aro you snooping around
out hero for, anyhow, with your hair all
plastered down and that smirk 011 your
facof"
"My dearest Mary Jano, I"
"Polhcmus," broku In his wife, laying
down tho portion of thu fowl's anatomy
sbo had been dissecting, and looking at him
keenly, "what on earth Is tho object of this
palvorlngf What now dodgo aro you try
Ing to work nowf"
"Why, Mary Jano, rvo inaiio up my tninu
to try to get along with you in a dlf"
"To get along with 1110? What do you
meanf Do you tell me to my face I'm hard
to get along with?"
"Not at all, Mary Jane; not at all. t was
only going to say that wo might llvo to
gether more comfortably, you know, If er
if wo'd quit this quarreling and bo so
ciable, you know, as we used to lie. Them's
no need of us acting like cats and dogs"
"Who says wo act liko cats and dogs, I'd
like to know? Look hero, Polhetuusl
You've been drinking."
"It's a blamed I now, Mary Jano;
don't you glvo way to that temper of
yours!"
"Who started this fuss?"
"You did."
"I didn't. You did yourself."
"I didn'tl"
"You dldl"
"You know lictter."
"Tell your wlfo sho lies, do you? Well,
Isn't the first time. If you havo any
It
business to attend to at your ofllcu there
will be plenty time for you to go and do it
before supper. I'll get along. I don't uced
any help on tills chicken."
"Dlddledy dad-swing tho dag-gono old

with rage. "Dad swizzlo Its everlasting
gol-dlngcd old carcass!"
Ho went out of the kitchen, slamming
the door behind him, and in less than a
quarter of a minute he was on his way
back to his oflk-e, mutturlug excitedly to
