Place the marshmallow rabbit inside on a bed of blue cotton and tie tbe outside of the egg together with a band of pretty ribbon. It is, a gift appropriate for any good friend. Especially to. a Centenarian, The custom in vogue among young people and some also not so young of eating on Easter Sunday an egg for each year of their age is often burdensome to the stomach and would be costly to the pocket this year. EASTER SUPERSTITIONS.

Quaint Old Ideas to Which Our Girlt Yet Cling. We wouldn't admit it, of course, but we are all of us more or less superstitious. We double up over the sidewalk to pry a pin out of a crack "just for fun." For the same reason we refuse to be the first to pass in front of a funeral to let any one pass between us and the friend with whom we would not quarrel, to let the biiby look at himself in the mirror, walk nn tlor a ladder or sleep in number thirteen nor for anything in the whole, wide world would we accept a watch from a fiancee nor a hatpin nor a penknife nor anything sharp or pointed from a friend. Just so with the Easter girl. She i m't the least bit snperstitious, but she wore a yellow garter last year, don lied at Easter, and Jack did propose to her.

so, just for fun, although, "of course, there's nothing in It," she's go Ins? to try ngaln for luck this time, Kiiice Jack is lnnded. Toll it not in Gath, but nearly all jrirls hold to this superstition, and the little rime which explains it is writ in nc nrly every one of their hearts: f. A yellow garter, That's for luck, For luck and a lover true'. The yellow band Will sure command Luck and a sweetheart too. And if you will peep beneath the hats of the pretty, laughing girls you'll meet on your way to church on "Easter morning you will find that several out of each dozen or so had a bit of blue ribbon tucked in her hair.

All school' Elrls remember the Scotch rime: A blue snook in the hair. Malign fair, maiden fair. On Easter you must wear, Maiden fair, maiden fair. And then you'll find the way To a glorious Easter day. For a lover'll come to woo you, true, I say." Cora Moore in New York Mall.

Read The Gazette and keep posted. WHEN EASTER COME8. By MARGARET E. SANGSTER 'HEN Easter comes the vio lets lift Their shyly hooded faces Where late the frozen snpws adrift Heaped high the woodland spaces. When Easter comes the sunbeams dance On green leaves all aquiver.

And grasses rally, vpear and lance, By rippling brook and river. When Easter comes the lilies haste What time the bells are ringing To bring their perfumes, pure and chaste, From hallowed censers swinging. Shine dim church aisles on Easter day i Beneath their serried whiteness. And happy children kneel and pray Amid the lilted brightness. When Easter comes a merry train.

The robin, wren and starling. With song and wing are here again, And many another darling. The bluebird and the oriole, Tho martin and the swallow, "Away," they chant, "with grief and dole! Here's spring, and summer '11 fol When Easter comes, when Easter comes, Thcsn winter's spell is over! Ere long we'll hear the elfin drums Where bees are deep in clover, After we catch the swaying lilt Of wings among the daisies And see the rose cup's sweetness Among the garden mazes. When Easter comes ah, happy ilnyi K'f teiirs like dewdrops glisten. And songs climb up the heavenward way While angels bend to listen.

For Iqve and life and joy untold Are in the age long story That spells itself on harps of gold And thrills with endless glory. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Easter Table Decoration. Plane rabbit, in center of table, tie big bow around his tnec aud bare narrow ribbon fastened 1 around his paws. At the end of each ribbon tie an Easter egg for each guest with tba name put on in gilt paint. 4 Read Tbb Uazhttb and keep posted.

hood In the use of skis, and bis skill is such that be can glide in and out of the trees without a crackle to betray his whereabouts. When marching orders are sounded the leader swings out and keeps up a hot pace. Once in sight of a supposed enemy a pile of snow is quickly scooped up, aud ensconced behind this simple but effective protection the skiman can take pot sbots at the foe. During some recent maneuvers in which 10.000 infantrymen participated the value of skis as an adjunct in warfare was clearly demonstrated. Over roads piled so high snow that cavalry would have been unable to make any progress whatever, the infantry, mounted on their skis, covered from twenty to thirty miles an hour without mishap of any kind.

Of course, it would be practically impossible in most Instances for the artillery, with their Heavy guns, to ioiiow me lmauiry ovir, tbe snow clad roads and passes, but for skirmishing and scouting ski running soldiers are extremely valuable.
