ISLAND'S BUSIEST LEG- ISLATIVE DAY. The Rhode Island legislature lived out te complete time limit, and al- though the legislators worked the last eleven days without pay, they did not attempt to make a special appropria- tion for themselves. There was so mueh work to be done on Friday that the regulmr “high jinks” of the last dey had to be omitted. It has been a star session, and the total appropria- tions are $80,000 under the estimated revenues for the year, Laws have been amended so that the state will no longer offer special advantages for those who desife to marry in haste, There is small chance to go “joy rid- ing” hemoeforth, without colliding with the law, and the prohibition extends not enly to borrowing automobiles for this purpose, but also horses, oxen, cows, ‘moter boats and about every- thing that can carry, except alrships, which, perhaps, will not get into gen. eral use before the next legislature meets. It looks as if the Connecticut legis- lature would last all summer and then not make a record which will com- pare with this, RHODE A POOR BIT OF ADVERTISING. Boston is recelving a poor bit of advertising just now, and with such advertising on the boards it would be useless to attempt to make a better style of announcement effective The Salem News, says: citing conditions thera, “A great many people in ¢ff thin a ten-mile radius of an&n city hall will be Interested in the, report, just issued, that since the first of the year the city’s gross fund- ed debt has Increased $2,931,800, while the net funded debt has within the same period jumped $2,168,154.46. And now for another citation: “The gross funded debt at the close of business on April 30 amounted to $111,416,406, and the net funded debt to $78,644,661.00. “The champlons of a ‘greater Bos- ton’ might as well make' up their minde, first as well as last, that their plans for the anmexation of contiguous citles and towns will not and cannot sucoeed, Boston, to speak plaimly, is both an Mll-governed and an travagantly administered oity.” Boston isn't afrald of debt; and it is not thinking what the effect a per. manent high tax.rate will be upon the future; and Boston is not so dis- similar to other smaller cities that have a relatively larger debt and per- sist in foflowing the same depressing course. The best advertising any city can have is that i is well managed, is reasonable in fts tax levies, has a cheap market and 15 an inviting place to Hve, A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION. It is asserted that about one-sixth of the fires in the state of Vermont are caused by defective chimmeys and flues entaling & damage of over $120,- 000 a year, and the Momtpelier Jour- nal points out that the state oould af in the interest of the welfare of the peopie. We have inspectors and fire mar. shals to look after stores and fac. tories—the combustible matter that is lying about loose in yards and in cel- lars in closely settled netghborhoods, to look after pipe conneetions and to regulate the reolation of heaters and stoves to partitions and combustible materials; but do we look sharp enough aféer the old, worn and im- paired chimneys which are filled with s00t and need repointing if not re- buliding to make them safe? This matter should invite the at- tention of every hougeholder, as it is better to prevemt a fire than to take risks which may prove to be disas- trous. Abdu] Hamid had ten millions laid away in German Danks against a reiny day, which shows that he had & thought that the day of disaster might some day come. A New York woman who was hurled against a tree In an automobile acci- dent had her life saved by a wob of store bair in her big hat. Such is wonder the Boston clud failed. out against 343 mem- dues which ought to have This is enough to i AS A LAST RESORT. The New Hayen Pallddium Judge Mathewson of the New city court as having sald: “As long as I am a judge of New Haven city court, I will not send any one to the Connecticut mm: Boys except as a last resort.” The Palladium, in commenting up- on this, says that “Judge Mathewson rom the opinion of the direc- tors of the school in the matter of the grading of pupils and rules incidental to their release, but, while that may be of great importance, it does not arouse as much public feeling as the opposition the judge eXxpresses to the maintenance of the corporal punish- ment rule at the state institution.” ) The Palladium thinks that it is time to cut out eorporal punishment and The Bulletin agrees with it, and also belleves that paper is right when it alleges that & majority of the people in the state are against it, What Is there fair or equitable about a beating measured in stripes, or just appHed in a spirit of ugliness? Boys who deserve the least get the most, frequently. The Bulletin does not belleve there can be calm and just punishments administered in this way. There should be no flogging of boys at the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden, As a state institution that shouid be made an inviting place of reform rather than a place of last re- sort. TARRED HIGHWAYS. Highway Commissioner Macdonald still believes coal tar is the best sub- stance yet found to lay the dust on macadam highways and to protect them from deterioration. This being the case, it should be freely used om #uch stretches of macadam as pass through residentlal sections. A pro- tection against dust must also be a protection against 11l health, also against mud and against early decay of expensive roads. If Ansonia could see her way clear to do it, she could make a splendid test of coal tar on ‘Wakelse avenue, where the top dress- ing of the macadam is severely tried, day by day, by rapidly moving veh!- cles.—~Ansonia Sentinel, Those who are famillar with the tarred road know that it comes as near tu the ideal road as anything yet eon- celved of, In settled sections auto- mobiles go rushing over it without raising a bit of dust; and as a sur. face finish it is as ooth as con- crete. It long ago jed the experi- mental stage and wherever adopted has continued in popular favor. The tarred road appears to have every- :hlng in its favor and nothing against t. AN ENGLISHMAN’S OPINION. An Englishman who believes that the canal zone of the isthmus of Pan- ama is the most interesting place in the world, has written a book and aft- er careful observations speaks of the enterprise as an “honest proposition.” This writer says that when he visit- ed the Culebra cut in January, 1907, what impressed him most was the enormous mass of material that had been removed by the French com- panies, and the insignificant appear. ance of the American excavations two and a half years after occupation. On the first day of his second visit, in April, 1908, he went to the same spot, and’ found the change enormous. The gorge below was greatly enlarged, the shape of the hills altered, the face of the landscape changed, As I gazed into the deep trench below the thought flashed across my mind: ‘It my life is spared a few years longey I will sail through this in a ship’ The rea- son for the great change was readily apparent; “organization had now been perfected.” After a close and pro- tracted study he sees no reason to f;usbt the completion of the canal by It is pleasant to have an English. man independently investigating this great work and corroborating the statements made by the government even to the,final completion of the work, EDITORIAL NOTES.

The fund being ralsed to furnish ex-President Eliot of Harvard an in- come for life has reached $130,000. The alienists in the Hains trial stand three to three, and that is about all this portion of the case amounts to. A New York official says that by short measure the people of New York are robbed of twenty millions every year, Russia has decifed that it will be profitable to spare 28 of her 91 holi- d:,\-s.

The possibilities of unbleached mus- lin are not appreciated. This cheap material is of a mellow, creamy tone, which lends itself pecul- larly to artistic decoration. For summer cottage hangings it is a most desirable materfal, the uneven- ness of weave sugggesting certain silken fabrics. A pretty bedroom in a cottage at Atlantic City is to have the walls pa- pered with delicate pink and yellow roses upon a creamy ground. All the hangings—the window cur- , the door curtains, the bedspread, the couch and chair covers and cush- jons—are to be of unbleached muslin finished with bands of cretonne to match the wall paper. \ NEEDLEWORK SUGGESTIONS. No. 8053 —Design for skirt panel in eyelet and braiding 10 inches wide at the lower edge, coronation, soutache or any of the narrow braids may be used for this design, and the dots may be worked In solld or eyelet embroidery with silk or mercerized cotton. Price of treansfer pattern, 10 cents. No. 8062—Design of sprays of chrys- anthemum, forget-me-nots, wild rose, and pepper berries, these designs are about 7 inches long and may be trans- ferred to any material and any article that the worker desires, and worked in white or natural colored mercerized cotton, or silk floss. Price of transfer pattern, 10 cents. Dainty Neckwear Without Ruching. Women who, feel more comfortable in the high, trig stock collar, or who are not blessed with the pretty throats required for low neckwear, will find any number of ddinty and smart high-neck arrangements ready for their selection. The new high collars fit trimly and snugly, but are cut off straight around the top, the exaggerated points under the ears, as well as the cumberfdme ruff ruchings, having passed .into a merciless oblivion. The idea now is to have the high collar blend into the lines of the neck, and the smartest bodices show, if an ruching, a straight fold of crepe lisse or one of the silk cords which give a neat and pretty finish. When the Maid’s Away, Try These. Chopped figs added to a nut and ap- ple salad give a deliclous flavor.

Add a pinch of salt to the juice, which should measure a large cupful. Give it a dash of nytmeg and pour the Juice, thickened with the mashed dy- ple, over those heaped in the dish; set aside to cool. Accompany it with thin slices of whole wheat bread and but- ter and a cni of cocoa, and you have all the ingredients for a most enjoy- able supper. IN THE KITCHEN, To Prepare Grapefrult. Cut in half, remove seeds, cut out center and gemtly shred with a fork. Put three maraschino cherrfes in cen- ter of each and a toagpoonful of the liquor and serve on small plates. Celery Soup, Cut down half a dozen heads of cel- ery into little pieces and boil it in four pints of white stock, with a quarter of a pound of lean ham and two ounces of butter. Simmer gently for a full hour, then strain through a sieve, return the liquor to the pan and stir in & few spoonfuls of cream with great care. Serve with toasted bread, and if liked, thieken with a little flour. Season to taste. Luncheon Cocoa. Scald four cupfuis of milk in the top of a double boiler. Mix three table- | spoonfuls of prepared breakfast cocoa, | one-fourth of a cupful of sugar and | few grains of salt; then add gradual- ly, while strring constantly, three- fourths of a eupful of bolling water. Bring to the bolling point, let . bofl three minutes and then pour into the scalded milk. Beat two minutes, using a Dover egg beater, and turn into a chocolate pot.

Insects llke neither salt nor alum, and enough .adheres to the carpet to keep them away. Shirring in Greater Use, " Shirring over cords and in tiny puffs will be seen more and more as the season advances. New Autombile Cloth. For spring and summer automobile costumes a new beautiful material that js sure to have an immense vogue has the appearance of the finest silk, is rain and dust proof, and is as light as the proverbial feather. It has the appearance of fine silk and is made in all the ‘fashionable shades. Crepe De Chines. The crepe de chines are as good as ever, ranging from the simplest to the richest, mostly satiny weaves. Contrast in Hats. Some of the new hats have brims of straw contrasting in color and texture with that of the crown. They Go with Red Halr. There are many fascinating shades pecullarly becoming to the woman who has red hair. The varying shades of amethyst, the violets, the soft browns and some of the usual shades of green are particu- larly -charming. TESTED PUDDING RECIPES. Up-to-Date Rice Pudding. One can of condensed milk, three cups of water, stirring until olve two tablespoonfuls of rice, one table- spoonful of currants. Bake untll rice is done, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Black Pudding, One cup of molasses, one cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, one cup= ful of sour milk, three cupfuls of flour, four ‘eggs, one grated nutmeg and ohe teaspoonfu] of soda. Beat butter and together, add the eggs and mo- then the sour milk and the soda dfssolved in e little hot water. Stir in the flour, put In a buttered pudding dish and steam two hours.

Fine Peach Pudding, Fill pudding dish with whole peeled peaches, pour over one pint of water, cover and bake till peaches are tender. Drain off juice and let cool. Add to it two cupfuls of miik, four beaten eggs, one gcant oupful of flour mixed with one teaspoonful of baking powder, one cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful of melted butter, pinch of salt. Beat hard four minutes, pour over peaches in dish, bake to rich brown and serve with cream. To Improve Ironing. When Ironing, the best thing with which to rub the irons is a fairly large pad of folded brown paper. This will also serve to test the heat. Besides this a cloth should be kept at hand on which to wipe off any flakes of soot or dirt. A small plece of wax Is excellent for producing a gloss when rubbed on the ‘iron, and paraffine has the same effect also. Well-Kept Hair. Glossy hair generally indicates that it has been well and carefully kept— that is, shampooed every few weeks, thoroughly brushed with the usual 50 strokes every day and the scalp mas- sz regularly. Brilliantine 15 mot used so much to impart gloss to the hair as to keep short hairs from blowing about the face. Unbecoming Earrings. Curious looking indeed, and decided- 1y unbecoming,are the large hoop ear- rings, -commonly known as “glpsy” earrings, which one sees in some of the HQME GARMENT. MAKING. ..
