The names of subscribers are com- ing in for the Jubilee book of the 250th anniversary as fast as The Bulletin anticipated that they would. This book is essential to the proper completion of the event, and its publication was assumed by The Bulletin as a matter of civic pride rather than as & specu- lative enterprise. There is no money in it for the printer. One citizen has ordered 24 copies and one 10, and snese are the only large individual yrders, An order trom a New York subscrib- er, who has no other interest than the interest awakened by a few years of residence here, re “Please have my name put down for one of the celebration books. | want it for two reasons: First, | want to be mble to read the whole thing and study the pictures at my leisure; sec- ond, it is an investment—your two- dollar book will be in demand at $5 or better before you and | get through selling things. There are people liv- ing in Norwich mow who won't order and whose children will be begging for copies at any price in 1925.” This is the truth. If The Bulletin does mot print an edition larger than 500 coples, the book may be in such demand that it will go to a premium at once. No agents will be sent out to solicit orders, because that would add to the cost of the edition. Names of subscrib- ers should be sent in to the business manager of The Bulletin. Norwich, Thur: RO—‘;A L DECORATIONS. Royalty does not need to spread it- self on small affairs, and it appears 1o recognize an excellent opportunity to set the people a fine example in simplicity and good taste. Queen Al- exandra of Great Britain has been a model mother, and has taught her children In the ways of modesty and economy, as she belicves every moth- er should. The annual garden par- ty siven by her at Buckingham palace to about two hundred children of the royal set was a very charm- ing one, filled with wholesome pleasure and the royal youngsters who superintended it were fully capable of the work. The floral decorations were marigolds, daisies and carnations, and there was an old-fashioned, every-day look to the royal function. Queen Al- exandra made only one stipulation to the reporters. She was willing that they should describe the scene as ful- ly as they pleased; but she declined to allow the names of her youthful guest to be published in the court newspapers. She held that such pre- mature notoriety was bad for children and rubbed the bloom off their youth. Her wishes were of course respected and not a single name of the child vis- itors of any nationality, save one, ap- peared in the fashionable prints. The list of the half-dozen or so of Ameri- can children who were present was fully blazoned in the unofficial jour- nals which live by such advertising, with a description of their garments duly appended. This vulgar American fancy for publicity in juvenile affairs could not appear worse than it does on such an occaslon as this. And one of the|court Jjournals ventures to wonder if the pre- ports there are no normal ¢ in New England weather this In every part of it there is a upon the crops. Southern and m! New England are suffering extreme drouth as the following review of July weather by the Boston Transcript re- veal he monthly meteorological sum- mary for July, issued by the weather bureau, shows that the earth herea- bouts must be exceedingly drouthy. The rainfall of the month was less than one-third of the normal, being but .97 of an inch, whereas the aver- age for July for thirty-nine years h: been 2.23 inches. This deficiency com- ing after a long period of not exc sive precipitation, has left the minus sign still in forcg for the year. The accumulated deficiency since January 1is .79 and 2.26 inches below the aver- age. July was empahtically a hot month, notwithstanding that the mean temperature was 72 degrees, exactly the same as for thirty-nine years. Nature, if it cannot distribute the cal- oric evenly, gets it in somehow, and on three days of the last week: the mercury touched maxima of 91, 92, 95. Such conditions are reflected in the parched herbage of“the city and suburbs, the lawns that look like ex- panses of Manila paper, the gargens that are rescued only by coplous hose water, and the drying grass of - the farms. Massachusetts generaily stands in need of an early and bountiful downpour, if crops are to be saved, and there are other sections of south- ern New England not much better off. To the north of us Nature has been more bountiful of its favors, and fre- Jfquent rains have helped the mountain rivers in their work of irrigation, but even there the precipitation has come so late, and after a cold spring, that the harvest will not be so abundant as the husbandman could wish.” THE BOY WHO CAN'T SWIM. Why should not 90 per cent. of the boys be taught how to swim before they are ten years of age? Boys In the seaports along the coast at that age can swim almost as naturally as fish. The boy who can't swim is a care and a peril when in a boat to the boy or man who can. Norwich has just had another lesson of a precious life heroically lost on account of the boy who could not swim. To have known how to have swum then would have been of more value to him than a knowledge of music or half of the dead languages. It would have saved two lives. The Hartford Courant assumes that not one in Aifty of the persons drowned would have suffered such a fate had they been able to swim, and then that paper indulges in the following perti- nent inquiries “Now, why in the world do we go on this way, year in and year out, pay- ing no formal attention to swimming as something that children should be taught? It is inexplicable, unless there are no textbooks on swimming for the schoolbook trust to sell. to the cause of education. Swimming is something taught in the water and not at the desk or in the recitation room. It ought to be a part of the compulsory course in every public school. There is not a city where a swimming tank could not easily be provided. In some cases, no doubt, other benefits than the acquisition of this useful art might be derived trom a daily swim; but the first considera- tion is to make sure that the boys and girls learn this simple, easy and in- valuable process.” The parent who wants assurance that his boy will not be drowned should give attention to his aguatic training and see that he knows how to swim. Many a boy has learned to swim in a day—few require more than a week to know that they can keep afloat like a seal. No accomplish- ment is of greater value to a boyeor girl than this, EDITORIAL NOTES. The time may come when a political candidate may have to tell how far he has traveled by the sky-iine. Happy thought for toda: The vacation that was, is simply an in- scription on the page of time. cocious infants so advertised did not sneer covertly at the homely decora- tions of marigolds, daisies and carna- tions which the good quecn thought appropriate. OVERWORKED PENNIES NICKELS, The measure of American liberality on all religious occasions where a con- tribution is in order ranges between the cent and the nickel. This last is all that the average American will give at a time in the interest of re- ligious reform or the spread of the Gospel. No wonder that an Asbury Park minister on Sunday, alluding to the meagreness of, the collections, de- tlared that “many persons who put a tent in the plate dedicated to God would be ashamed to hand a like Amount to a porter or a bellbo; The Newark News, upon this, re- ralls the fact that “last summer about 140,000 people attended the camp- meeting services in the Ocean Grove suditorium and tabernacle, The col- lections aggregated $7,174, or an aver- age of about five cents for each per- #on in attendance at each service. But there were only 0,000 nickels among the contributicns. Subtracting these mnd also the dimes, quarters, dollars and larger bills from the total, and the minuend indicates that there were 45,000 persons who contributed one cent each for the benefits they received and for the further spread of the Gos- pel. The total receipts of the camp- meetings were $1,562 less than the expenses, and no wonder.” The 45,000 who let one penny go at a time for the salvation of the race should consider what might happen if God dealt with man upon this same small-measure plan. We have heard of “small potatoes and few in a hill,” but they are liberal compared with thig showing.

Utility: —Useful for some desirable, practical purpose; and this is just what some public utilities laws are not. The woman who can get off a trol- ley car right has an accompl®hment to be proud of—very few of them can do it. Col. William J. Bryan is said to be drifting to the ultra-prohibition cor- ner, a place of least political popu- larity. When gasoline is too dear for use for motive power it may be possible that denatured alcohol will find its opportunity. No legislator gets angry becasse he is called a solon; but he will not stand it to be called an owl, if the owl is Minerva's bird. Those citizens who thought money could buy freedom for Thaw must be surprised by the evidences of its pow- er to cause dela Old Orchard beach, Me., has repre- sentatives from all parts of the coun- try. The ozone needs no label stat- ing that it is pure. In Massachusetts they think that the capture of the Boston & Albany by the Consolidated road means a new route to New York. It has to be admitted that the jolt of the automobile on the roughest road is as nothing to the jolt of the average aeroplane when it lights. The new seven-mile stretch of rail- road named for Roosevelt in Louisi- ana ought to be furnished with trains that make a mile a minute. The tarift bill ought to pass the sen- ate today; but If Senator Aldrich is not nearer right than he has been in some other predictions, it may not. The new Lincoln penny'is in great demand, and there is no doubt that it will please the children, whatever the numismatic critics may think of it. It is estimated that $180,000,000 worth of matches are burnt annually: and “the matches made in Heaven" are much more costly than these mun- dane matches.

Cut sheets of tinfoil and place under the flower vase doilies and you will have no trouble with any dampness affecting the best polished furniture. If dirt seems to settle under the nails rub pulverized pumice stone un- der them with an orange stick and wash with warm water. To save many steps in the kitchen have a small zinc-covered shelf near the range, where hot food, when re- moved from the oven, may be placed. It also saves the table and you avoid the danger of being burnt while carry- ing it across a room. If the housewife who makes bread will beat it well with a large spoon before she puts her hands in it she will find that her bread will be light and wholesome. NEEDLEWORK SUGGESTIONS. Paris Transier Pattern No. 8079. Design in eyelet and shadow em- broidery, to be transferred to a waist made of French batiste, linen or Per- sian lawn, organdie or muslin or any sheer material, and worked with white or colored mercerized cotton or silk floss, according to the material used in the development. A touch of color in the delicate shades is very effective. This color should be either pink, light blue, lilac, pale yellow or apple green, any dark shade ruining the design. Price of pattern,-10 cents & fransfer Pattern No. 8083. . Design for sofa pillow, to be worked in outline embroidery. The design to be transferred to art ticking, linen, denim or burlap, 18x18 inches, and heavy mercerized cotton or silk floss used for the embroidery. This is a simple but effective pattern and can e easily worked by a child. The edge of the pillow is finished with a heavy cord, either silk or mercerized cotton, according to taste, and the material used for the development of the pillow. Price of pattern, 10 cents. TEA BASKET. For those who like tea there s a pleasing little basket with tea pot and cups in compact form. These are excellent to take along on one’s travels and to use with the large tea basket on summer after- noons. The little basket is well made and wadded inside. It is fitted with tea pot and two cups in Japanese china. A few have a small opening into which the spout of the teapot fits, which allows the tea to be poured through it without lifting the pot from the basket. This is considered a great conven- fence by many, as the pot is kept hot by the wadding. ABQUT LACE. Filet lace or embroidery on netting is one of the most fashionable trim- mings of the hour. Few people know that this was one of the earliest forms of lace and 1§ a direct evolution from the darned net- ting which served duty in former days as the long curtains, bed spreads and the fast disappearing “antimacassars.” Square designs at present are the most fashionable and the “walls of Troy” are seen in everything. The yokes and cuffs of the newest dresses are made from bands of this embroidery or it can be used in long bands to make the line teimming on a costume. Leaves and scrolls are seen in abun- dance and designs which savor of the heraldic devices are popular. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. A raw egg swallowed will detach fishbone in the throat. The volk of an egg broken up i rose water is a trusty shampoo. To prevent the scalp from getting into an unhealthy condition from be- ing overheated all cushions must be removed at night and the hair thor- oughly brushed and combed. To successfully manicure the nafls yourself, soak the tips of the fingers in & bowl of warm borax water. You can at the same time put borax under the nails, which tends to bleach them. File the nails smootbly with sand- paper boards that are purchased for the use and remove all stains with ammonia. A mnail polish too often ap- plied has a tendency to make the nails more brittle. The professional mani- curist advises polishing the nails with paste polish threc days in succession, then 1ot again for two weeks, tno=gn the nails must be smoothed and rub- bed with chamois each day. A NEW IDEA. A new ided in table linens prevatling on the other side is to lay a center- piece of lace, embroidery, drawn work or any preferred decoration in the center of the usual table cloth. Stitch it down and cut away the damask bek neath. Silk in a dainty color har- monizing with the floral or china dec- trees at night and the mosquitoes do the rest. One night's entertainment is enough. Five and a quarter million of the 230,000,000 horsepower of American streams only has been harnessed. The trusts are hoping to collar it all soon. The twelve thousand dollars for ve- hicles for the speaker of the house and the vice president were crossed out of the appropriations.

This is newer than the cen ' being added after the' table been placed upon the table, but per- haps few Housekeepers would care to cut the cloth. Crumbed Onions.” Peel small onions and cook 45 min- utes in plenty of saited boiling water. Drain and lay round in a buttered deep ple plate. Dust each onion with salt and pepper and put a scant tea- spoon of butter on each. Cover with a sprinkling of cracker dust or fine rolled bread crumbs and bake slowly until tender. Serve with cream sauce. This is a great improvement plain boiled onions. strong flavored cl or twice, always boiling water. Green Cucumber Relish. Slice one dozen cucumbers and a half dozen onions. Sprinkle with salt and let stand an hour. Drain. Put into the preserving kettle one pint vinegar, three-fourths cup sugar and a teaspoonful each cinnamon, cassia buds, celery seed, white mustard seed and black pepper. When it comes to a boil add the sliced vegetables, cook a moment, then can. HINTS FOR THOSE WHO ¥ WOULD BE STYLISH. Silk panels are plentiful. Draped waists are very popular.

White blinds can be made at home of white sheeting in the desired widths and lengths, finished with laundry starch.

A stock is made from a single hand- kerchief .with a colered border. The turnover collar requires half of the mouchoir, the jabot and little bow the other half. “The jabot should, of course, be made of one corner, so that it hangs down in a point in front. It all depends upon the size of the handkerchief how much of a frill one giay have, bat the ccliar part once cut and made, all the best of the handkerchief may be used for the tie. The careful = housewife will find that she may have even an excess of towels at quite small expense if she will finish the ends herself, instead of buying the fringed or bordered towels. Fourteen yards of damask toweling will make one dozen towels and six of these might be finished with hem- stitching and the other half dozen scalloped. Each towel may be cut forty-two inches long, which will leave ample room for either a hem or a neat scalloped finish. A CLOTHES HANGER. The rafia habit still persists, and there are even now a few things left uncovered and on which this attractive straw may be used. A clothes hanger is_among’ them. Not the usual small hanger to ac- commodate baby's coat or some single garment, but a strip of this wood, two inches wide and fwo feet long, provided along its length with light brass hooks, screwed in, and two long wire eyes, one at either end, to fasten it in place. Wood and wire are wrapped with raffla exactly the way a basket handle is, unless the making of patterns in this material is an art with thoge who read The hanger is intended for all the clothes that little miss 6 or 7 will take off. She should be taught to hang each garment on a separate hook and for this purpose the raffii-covored hanger will be placed within her reach. The yawning closet, with its high-up hooks, and the slippery chair back from ‘which all dresses and petticoats fall as soon as they are placed, need be no further obstacles to neatness. The hanger belongs near a window and fastened on the reverse side of the screen, behind which our little maid is taught to dress and undress. The stick of wood may be padded, scented and puffed with silk or flow- ered dimity if the daintiness of the room demands something more ornate than twisted rafia. To the more fancy hanger belongs a ribbon cov- ering for the wire eyes at each end of the hanger. CLEANING PLUMES. A woman who has success in clean- Ing ostrich and other feathers puts a cupful of flour and three level table- spoonfuls of borax into a paper bag, and with it one large or two or three small feathers.

Ath mor For Over Thirty Years —==CASTORIA New York has never been a city overfriendly to the negro. For that reason alone the reception accorded to the Tenth regiment, United States cavalry, is properly deserving of a place in the annals of the colored race in_America. It is a regiment with a record and a regiment worth seeing—lean, hard, square shouldered troopers, proud of themselves and their service, proud of their officers, proud of their flag and their country, as good soldiers ought to be. Yet the grandfathers and grandmothers of these cavalrymen were slaves, with no rights that the white man was bound to respect. Forty-six years lie between the draft riot and the crowds that ap- plauded the Tenth regiment recently. 1t means much to the progress of the negroes in America that they have produced such a regiment with such a record. Men who have proved their willingness to die for their country are surely entitled, for themselves and for their people, to the ordinary guar- antees of life, ifberty and the pursuit cf happiness which every white Amer- ican claims as a birthright.

Experts appointed by directors of the state prisons and the state hospitals for the insane, acting under specific modes of ir}vestlgatlon, are to be em- powered to' prevent inmates of these institutions from procreation of their kind, whenever interests of the state seem to demand such action. This is a drastic way of dealing with a prob- lem, and, like so many other exten- sions of state authority, presumes a wisdom In officials clothed with arbi- trary authority, which is not assumed, except under the most precautionary restrictions.
