EASTER. Sn 
QUEER PEOPLE. 
Some very funny people may be made to live 
in egg shells, for the amusement of children. 
Empty the shell by blowing, and pour in 
melted bees-wax until the egg stands securely 
on its larger end; a few shot dropped into the 
warm wax will help matters. 
With ink or black paint draw ragged lines 
near the middle as if the shell were broken 
there. On the large end sketch the features 
of an old gentleman and put a tall paper collar 
just above the ragged line. Draw on the shell 
or cut from paper and paste in place a pair of 
arms with hands clasped in front; add feet in 
the same way. ‘Then put the old fellow on the 
table and he will stand on his héad. 
The face may be clouded or serene at the 
pleasure of the artist, but most people would 
not feel very happy if standing on their heads. 
An old lady can be made in like manner — 
with the addition of a tissue paper cap.
