V. Times It is withina § f two years | that the custor making pres ents on Easter has como to be a well observed fashion. Before that time guch remembrances of friendship as were exchang d cousisted of eggs hard boiled, and with shell resplen Oceasionally the | shell would bear some trifling de sign, or the words: “Easter,” or “The Lord is Risen,” picked out in white on the colored shell, or in col ors on the white shell. Within the two years passod all this has changed, and Kaster has come to be a day on which the exchanging of presents bocome as commion and fashionablefas on Christmas, The egg has given way to the chicken, and the exchange of Easter greetings 1s now made by means of elaborately | painted and 1lluminated cards. P« sibly the changs from the egg to the ken 18 an evidence of the pi on which characterizes Americai jio- Whether this be 8o or not, the eliicken has now, to a consideralle ex- tent, usurped the place that the «yu once occupied as an Easter offering, At almost every storo in the city where a speciulty is now being made of Eas- ter novelties, or where this class of goods is dealt in at all, were bits of chickens no larger than an ordinary egg-shell, and whose coats have not fully developed from a mass of downy fuzz into weil-defined feathers, play an important part. Ever since the tirst of the year the incubators, or ar tificial mothers of thousands of young chickens, have been at work hatching out their broods for the use of the caterers to the demands of this very recent and singular taste. The chick- ens have a very brief existence after they leave the shell, rarely exceeding a week, being turned over at the end of that time to the hands of the taxi- dermists. By them they are butcher- ed, the delicate skins carefully pre- pared, stuffed, and then turned over to the hands of the manufacturers of Easter novelties, There are several houses in the city now engaged in pre- paring these birds tor the market, and for months past they have been pressed 10 their Gtmost capucity with orders. Ou leaving the hands of the taxidermists, these little chickens are mounted in all sorts of fantastic and grotesque shopes.. A favorite method 18 to mount the chick so that it shall, with head askance, seem to be gazing wonderingly at a broken egg-shell from which i; has secmingly just emerged. A pretty effect is produced by mount- ing a couple of the little fellows be side two br shels, and as they are represented as gazing wondering- ly at one another the result is quite comical. Frequently the yollow down- covercd chicks are represented as sit- on a mnest lying in a mass of dried grasses and Howers. From underneath its smooth little body and wings vainly stretched in an attempt to hide them from view peep forth from two to foux egg-shaped pelletts usually bits of wood or claye arefully covered with silic of red, white blue, pale green or mottled tints. In other cases the chick is carefully mounted against a plaque, represonted sometimes as feeding, agan as nestling in a bed of weeds and grasscs, and frequently as kicking from the nest the egg shell in which 1t had passed ils days of incu- bation In this way, and in many othcrs, ducklings of not over a weuf( old, and humming birds, finches, thrushes, and other small birds are sacriliced to furnish material for the construction of these pieces, which are just now the particularly proper things for use as_presents for the Eas- ter season That the egg has not become obso- lete 18 assured by the many forms in which it appears among the mass of signs for Easter gifts. In 4 Broadway store the humorous side of the pre- vailing furor is very cleverly shown, and funny caricatures of we | known faces are she result. One of these eggs is set upright with the more pointed end in air, The large end is encircled with a Byronic collar of white papor, . bit of blue silk serving as a necktie. From the pointed end & mass of black worsted talls over the back and side of the shell, the mass being carefully parted in the middle. The portion of the shell left exposed is painted to represent a face, and the result is one that needs no label to inform the observer who the carica- tyre represents, Oscar Wilde is as clearly to be seen in this clever bit of work as in one of Sarony’s portraits, The broad side ¢f an egg more nearly round in shape nerves for the repro- duction of Dick ieadeye, the popular character in **Pinafore.” In thie case cotton batting serves as gray hair and whiskers for the treacherous old salt. A sailor’s tarpaulin, with “H, M, 8. Piuafore” on the silken band, and a collar of blue paper, with a necktie of black silk, serve to make the carica- ture complete. The large end of an ogg properly painted, & mass of golden- red worsted for hair, a jaunty straw hat, with flowing ribbous, and a bit of muslin te represent the neck of a dress serve to reproduce Goneral Stanley’s fagorite daughter Mabel, the heroine of the “Pirates of Penz- ance.” The possibilities in this lin: of really clover work are inuumerable, for, with the peoper shaped ege aud a Jictle facility in eiewching aud taste in dressing, nlmiost «ny fuco esn bo re. pooduced in caricature. Possibly the ease with which the caricatures may be produced has led to the coneeit, & novelty of this season, of & danor's placing, as though it were a bit of decaleomanie work, his or her pic ture on the phell designed as an Easter offering to friends, The miniature cartes de visite, such us was in vogue two or three years ago, are used in these cascs, aud the por- trait, when stuck on the shell, is sur- rounded by a frame-like collection of hand-painted flowers or some fantas- tic designs. These serve to make a very pretty gift, The real chicken’s egg is hardly used in tho novelties offered for this season, L.

AP IL 1 x:8 retained, and decoration is indt in, theso substitutes are ueually 1ie ly covered with sik in shades of 1 d blue. Often these silk covers a ndsomely painted by hand with rc ctions of the passion flower or s, or bear mottoes appropriate t the day or season. The proper thin for a young gentleman to present to a young lady fr is now preseribec by fashion to be a jewel or bon-t box made in the shape of an egg, varying in sizo from the ege of a tu | key to that of an ostrich, Theso are Always covered with eilk, “frequently scorated with elaborate hand painte gns, and, in the case of the jewel boxes, lined with silk or satin of son brilliant color. When china is the | material used in the construction o | the Easter gifts the conceits of manu facturors take awider range thanin t! finor grades of goods Eggs are th made to bring into being very singu lar products, A brokon shell will ro veal children, bunches of flowers bouquots, and other impossible out comings of the natural egg, as well as impossible chickens and birds of im possible plumage and decorated with garlands of impossible flowers. Those who can afford to purchase find hand some presents for favored friends the huge ostrich vggs, elaborately dec orated by had, and there is this sea- | | son quite a demand for these at the leading jowelry stores, and the housos ac and art nov of dealers in bric ¢ elties. Plaquesare in great demand . this season, aund thoug! largely supplicd, the supply by nd means exceeds the demand. The painted plaque seems to have given way to the plaque of wood covered with silk or satin, and the decorations ure generally floral. A lily iu full bloom, a water lily and bud, with scv- eral leaves, all bound together by a bund ot ¥ibbon; a boquet of passion flowers, bunches of daisies, and occa artificial flowers which bloom upon the plaques or paucls. Standing well out from a dark background, as they do, the effect is very pretty. A single peacock feather often forms the deco- ration imstead of Howers, and a miuia- ture paletio mounted on a miniature easel tukes the place of the plaque or pauel. Buske's of wiiu vrasscs, with Canadian snow-bircs on their nests, are novelties brought out this season, aud they wuke a very profty orna- ment. Coraucopias of fantastic shapes, | made of delicately woven wicker work, filled with grasses or mneatly made araticial flhowers, are wlso among the noveltvs. Noat gif 8, that have | a lasting value, are tambourines with heads of eilk, on which some tasteful design is painted. For a gift to la- dies, a pretty conceit is a satchel bag. the front of which bears a cross of white flowers or a bunch of some deli- cately colored flowers. This front, which covers the satchel bag, can be opened, and reveals am appropriate Easter greeting. One of the most novel of the distinctively new gifts is a representation of a stork, which stands beside its roughly constructed nest of twigs and leaves, and hasinits beak a nakod china doll. This is an imported novelty, the work of the Dutch artisan, and represents the legend current in Holland, where the children are taughtthat it is the stork that brings the babies as their contri- butions to Holland’s population. Other special features shown in the stores are crosses made of fowers, grasses, ete., from the Holy Land, and theso find a ready sale at the prices charged, from 825 upward, Station- ery with special designs for Holy Weoek and Esster Day finds some buy- ers, and during that period many let- ters will be written By fair hauds, principally to inform ~their friends that the fair writers can afford to in- dulge in speciul Eastec-time station- ery. Doves mounted as if just about to take flight, or arranged with out- spread wings, the latter designed for suspension from a conyenicnt chan- delicr or in an arched doorway be- tween connecting rocws, find much favor as especial decorations for houses during Holy Week. Eastor cards, with special designs, in which crosses, passion flowers, doves, etc., play an important part, are standard goods in the markets, and this year large numbers are im- ported from England and Germany to compete with the designs of American artists, Texts of Scripture, Easter greetings, or selections in English or Latin from the Episeopal or Catholic Easter services, genorally adorn these cards, some of which are handsome and command large prices. Cards with designs of various kinds inset, or ‘“‘cards” of satin, embroidered or hand painted, are the novelties in this line for the coming Easter holi- days, which begin with Easter, Aprii 8th, Sudden Changes ofthe Weather Q- tea Cause Pulmonary, bronchial, and asth- matic troubles, ““Brown’s Bronchial Troches” will allay irritation which induces coughing, oftentimes giving immediate relief, m29-1w RALIGIOUS, The Mothodist presiding elders of the northwest are shortly to bold a conven. tion in Caicago to discuss the duties and opportunities of their offi ‘e.
