How to Prepare Easter Eggs.

One way is to put them for a few minutas in hot water, and then write with tallow a name or design, flower or ornament, on either side of the egg. Then boil it in water in which a colored solution or dye has been put. Tne color will not adhere to the part of the shell which has been touched with the tallow, and whatever has been drawn will be quite white. Eggs boiled in logwood will be violet or purple, and with a pin or knife one may scratch on the shell any design desired. i
