ILLUSTRATED | THE BULLETIN'S BOOK. It is not surprising that a great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be a feature of the 250th an- niversary Jubllee book—what they are to be and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests of the city will number a score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- oial interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large enough to make the identification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page. It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it appears in December for delivery. The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects to have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration, and the book will be prized for .its accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere.

The incoming of the motor carriage was heralded as the beginning of the end of the horse, and now, fifteen vears after, there are 25 per cent. more horses than there were then, and thei average value has increased over 1.80 per cent. The Breeders' Gazette calls attention to the fact that there were 15,893,318 horses In 1895, the average value being $35 & head. In the last vear the reports show 20,640,000 horses valued at $95 a head. Mules have also doubled in number and in value in the same period. This shows that as a forecaster in this respect man was not keensighted —~he saw in his forefront what was not there. It is more than likely that the horse will be the old reliable aft- er the automobile craze is a thing of the past. THERE ARE NO PENNIES. ‘The fact that a penny is a two-cent piece has often been called to public notice; and, yet, even the bankers of the country .are sending in orders for Lineoln pennies instead of “Lincoln cents.” The manager of the mint is not inelined to notice letters which ap- ply for pennies. It is common in small stores to hear calls for a penny's worth of this or that; and it is understood to mean a cent’s worth, and the customer ex- pects no more; but it is not a correct order, and there is no such thing as making the two words synonymous. It is not a very important matter, anyway, but those ordering will have to call for Lincoln cents if they ex- pect to get them, since the govern- ment rules that there is no such coin as a Lincoln penny. THE NEW COMMANDER IN CHIEF The new commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, gx- Governor Van Sant of Minnesota, is a Mve man with both a military and po- Htical record. He was a vigorous ex- ecutive of Minnesota, and as such participated in the preliminary cam- paign against the Northern Securities “merger.” At one time he was said to cherish ambitions pointed toward the White house, but these died young. He did enough, however, that was pop- ular to hold public atention for a time, and that of itself is something of an achievement. Governor Van Sant served in the volunteers in the ranks during the eivil war, and represents the hardy element that became soldiers the more fully to live up to their standards of citizenship. He is deservediy pepular with the veterans, who like his dem- ocratic spirit And hustling ways. He will not disappeint the organization in his conduct of this high office, for he is heart and soul in accord with its purpose and well-being. GOOD ROADS. The working out of the good roads system in New England is proceeding gradually, with Massachusetts setting & good example by her persistent work upon the trunk lines, but it, will be several years before her principal trunk lines are completed. ‘When done there will be 800 miles of these trunk lines, which will represent an expenditure of $8,000,000. A writer for the Boston Transcript notes that a long distance traveler can &0 from Boston to the New York line through Worcester, Springfield and Pittsfleld, from Boston to the Rhode Island line, up the North shore to the New Hampshire line, down the Cape, thropgh the Connecticut valiey, along the northerly boundary of the state, from Boston to Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill, and from Haverhill to New- buryport, from Boston to New Bed- ford and Fall River or over other main routes over improved roads all the way and most of them will be of state construction. The New York Times of the 1ith inst., referring to the good roads im New Jersey and New York, sald: “New Jersey, which already has many miles of admirable roads, in- cluding not a few constructed with reference to the character of present- day traffic, is constantly adding to the number, and its latest plan is for a dustless highway from Trenton to the coast. New York state, too, has apent not a few millions for roads that were good while they lasted, and it has in view the spending of other millions, but the fact remains that we . lag far behind several of our neigh- Bars in this highly important respect apd that not infrequently the traveler ecan tell when he crosses the state uu‘m then he exchanges tolera- at a good road needs a from the day of its completion, and that if it is to remain good more or less work must be done on each mile of it every | day thereafter. Our plan is to do nothing until it becomes practically impassable, and then to build a road. “Brilliant examples of what results from following that criminally éxpen- sive policy are to be found in par- ticular abundance in the immediate vicinity of New York city, and not a few of them are within the metropol- itan limits,” The good roads issue is a live one everywhere, and how profitable and useful they will prove to be depends upon their use and care, not upon their abuse and neglect. REPORTORIAL IMAGERY. It is being shown that what Presi- dent 'Taft cannot do in attracting to Beverly the attention of the curious, the live reporter can. “The woman in white” at Beverly, as presented to view by the correspondents, has put the whole country into a state of impatience to find out who this wo. man is, why she follows the presi dent’s automobile upon a bicycle, and what her purpose is. She may be a woman seeking a reprieve for a lover, she may be a lunatic, or she may be a nervy newspaper woman who fol- lows close that nothing worth gos- siping about may escape her. Presi- dent Taft does not appear to be an- noyed by the way in which she shad- ows him, and the ecivil service men do not regard her as dangerous. “The woman in white” at Beverly is not she of the novel by the same title. EDITORIAL NOTES. Germany does not like the tariff bill and that is one of the best evidences that it has real merit. The last flying machine is called the ornithopter, because it is framed aft- er the wings of the eagle. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw seems inclined now to make her marriage with Harry Thaw end like a bunco game. The Lincoln cents at Chicago are in demand, two for one. There you have it, a penny for a Lincoln, The national building estimates were six and a half millions better than the figures of July, one year ago. The reckless never appear to have in mind the fact that they are not the only consumers. The rich father who has bought his daughter a balloon must have been impressed by her high-flying tenden- cles. Should the Connecticut troops break into Beston on Sunday, it would give Boston a more ruddy Sabbath day complexion. Thaw's mother has shown that she can write a proclamation when the spirit moves that is worthy of a bet- ter cause. The tramps take to everything free but a free bath, and in comsequence of this they are now running away from Detroit. These long reaches and earth-dry- ing winds between showers are mot just what is needed to round out the summer right. / Happy thought for today: The so- loist who sings his own praises is never put on a salary because of his singing ability. The city that is first to suppress joy-riding will be distinguished, and its recipe for curing the evil will be in general demand. Emma Goldman thinks that a rope about her neck will be necessary to stop her talking. What does anyone wish to stop her for? . It must be admitted that even Thaw's “exaggerated ego” is tame compared with some that are loose in all parts of the country. Speaker ' Cannon is about the only man in the country who keeps repeat- ing that’ the new tariff bill just suits him. He seems to have faith in hyp- netic suggestion. Minister Wu will go back to China with more good Eastern ideas than ever, and he will spread them for the good of his country until he shall be sent forth again. The agitators against the grasping monopolies of the country are called in “Varmount” the “Hawbucks.” If they fct in concert they ought to make them “Gee!" NEW BOOKS, “Are the Dead Alive??” by Fremant Rider, New York. B. W. Dodge & Co., publishers. This is the latest contribution to the literature of physical research and is a popular review of recent progress made in hunting down the apparent facts of phenomer: which have con- verted to psychicism, if not spiritual- ism, some of the groatest scientists of Europe, and are now atiracting wide- spread’ interets in every .ntelligent center of the globe. Much of ire mra- terial has already appearel in The Delineator, but now it appears in an expanded and more permanent form | accompanied by picturc:, some of which have never before been pub- lished, {llustrating admirably almost every phase of the subject. At the outset Mr. Rider disarms the sceptical critic by frankly admitting that the cry of fraud which the aver- age man makes in the presence of so- alled supernatural phenonisna is, an the whole, abundantly justified. The history’ of mediumship is one long #is- heartening reorl o' decoption and posure. But, he says, if we immedi- ately dismiss in disgust the whole subject we are gravely in danger of the opposite error, and in support of this assertion he quotes frum tne most prominent authorities on the suwjcc like Thomas Jay Hudson, Aif*'d Hus- sell Wallace and other emia it inves- tigators who are little liaple 10 be hoodwinKed Ly fraud or bias=d b sonal Teeling. His own condlus surprising perhaps to those wno ‘e never suspected the sligntest consen- sus of scientific epinion <n this matter —is that, (“There are now in all the el "world but one or two scientists of :he first rank who deny the actual prob- ability of the future life; while a large proportion claim that this life has been actually rrovad by the occurring phen- omena of $piriiualism.” ‘This 900k provides intersstig read- ing for all and is assuring to a great AR . users of city water | Paris Transfer Pattern No. 8081.

The waist with a V-shaped neck is by far the most cog:toruble for those inclined to be full.' Finish the “V” with a narrow, flat trimming all the way round. Speaking of trimming, it is well to keep the eyes open when passing through the stores these days. Short lengths of exquisite trimmings are being sold at bargains. The ingenious woman can make splendid use of these as trimming for the winter gowns. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Tincture of iodine applied with a camel’s hair brugh is a soothing ap- plication for unbroken chilblains sand; for gnxnung on the gum for an aching toot! Doctors are advising daily household work as a cure for nerves. Dusting, sweeping and bedmaking bring into plav a number of important muscles, and the muscle movements are exact- ly the same as the expensive physical culture exercises so fashionable of late years. Paris Transfer Pattern No. 8064. Eyelet design for a child’s collar, 12 1-2 inches neck measure and 6 1-4 in(‘hPs wide in the baek to be trans- ferred to linen, duck, cambric, Persian or Victoria, or linen-lawn, batiste, crash or denim, or, in fact any desired wash material that the maker wishes. If desired che dots may be worked in solid design, the ornament at the ends worksd in eyelets and the single lae in simple back or chain stitch. The scalloped edge should be heavily pad- ded, the buttonholing being worked very evenly, otherwise the effect is not good. Price of pattern, 10 cents.

A_woman was a candidate for the Bolibmian parliament at the recent bi- election, and received about 18 per cent. of the total vote. There were 80 Jmany parties in the field that no candidate got a majority of all the votes, and a second election had to be ordered. Miss Grace Hodgdon Boutelle, daugh- ter of the late Congressman Boutelle of Bangor, Me.,, is considered one of the boldest and most uncompromising suffragettes of London. She proudly boasts of having been in prison for a month, as the result of her devotion to the cause. Mme. Margaret J. Benedictsson, ed- itor of The Freyja, an Icelandic month- ly magazine, has organized four suff- rage clubs in Iceland in the last 12 months, She has lectured on the sub- ject of équal suffrage in various places throughout the country, and expects more than to double the present jum- ber of clubs within the next | few months. A Frenchman in the chamber of deputies would like a law that would protect the working women of France to the extent of allowing them to have control of their own earnings. The husband and wife from the country towns come to Paris, leaving their children with the grandparents, and then both work, the husband taking the wife's earnings and managing for both, generally in a good way. The women. themselves do not seem to be asking for a change, FRUIT AND FLOWERS FOR CEN- TERPIECE. Nothing makes a prettier centerpiece for the summer table than a combina- tion of fruit and flowers But unless skilfully rranged, it is Hot olive oil will relieve the lame- ness in the feet which is caused by long standing. It is also excellent for a skin which has been made hard and dry by exposure to the weather. A little oil rubbed into the skin at night makes ‘it soft and smooth. The an- cient Egyptian beauties knew its value and used it almost altogether as an unguent. It is a bad thing for an adult to lose sleep, but it is worse for & child. To cut short the time the immature brain needs for rest and repair is to stunt the growth irreparably. Therefore, says Sir James Crichton Brown, the English physician, parents should set their faces firm]y against home study- ing. When books are taken home the studying is, as a rule, done at night, and brain work at night is almost sure to poison the child’s sleep, robbing it of the repairing power sleep ought to have. “The present increase in nerv- ous and mental diseases noted by re- cent_observers is largely due” says Sir James, “to insufficient sleep. * * ¢ It would be wiser to let the children learn less if thereby a better brain power is assured for the future.” CANNING CORN. Get gbod corn, not too ripe, eut it om the cob and scrape out the milk. ill the jars with corn and fasten the lids on tightly. Place a wooden rack or straw in the bottom of the wash boiler, put in the jars and fill the boiler almost to the taps.of the jars and boll for two hours. Remove the lids and quickly fasten them ngl!n. then boil for two hours more: cans are used the lids must be c- tured. The boiler must be well cover- ed while the corn hoils, for steam cooks more quickly than hot water, It is advisable to can a little at a time. CHUTNEY SAUCE. Chutney sauce is delicious with fish and meats and is made by the follow- ing recipe: Put eight ounces each of chopped tart apples, sliced tomatoes, salt, brown sugar, seeded raisins in a jar. Ada four ounces of powdered ginger. one quart of lemon juice. Mix well and cover. Keep in warm place and stir every day for a month, tak- ing care to cover the jar after each stirring. Strain, but do not squeeze too dry. Put away in sealed glass jars or bottles for us The liquors will make a good flavoring for Soups. GRAPE MARMALADE. Marmalade made of fox grapes is good. The grapes should be stripped from the stems and put in a wide- mouthed stone jar set in a deep pan of boiling water. Heat until the grapes begin to soften, then stir with a wood- en spoon or paddle. When they are i thoroughly crushed and broken, rub through a_ sieve, rejecting the seeds. Measure the pulp and to every pint allow one-half pound of sugar. Put over the fire and boil for half an hour, stirring continually. Put in sealed jars or jelly glasses. Substitute for Meat. Cream and butter should be eaten freely of by those who do not eat much meat. They furnish fats for the system. Nuts are excellent as a substitute for meat, but should be eaten at meal- Is Your Room in the Class " Known as “Dust Catcher ?” Did you ever hear of them? -Or, what is worse, do you know them from experience? “Dust catchers” are bad enough when it comes to clean- ing, but there is another side which is_worse. In the hall, dining room, parlor, li- brary, the superfluous little ornaments that serve as such a magnet for flying particles of dust annoy only the maid or the housewife. Bat it is other side makes itself felt. Here they are unhealthy as they are unneces- sary. Not even the “freshair crank” would demand the banishment from the sleeping rooms of the boy and girl of the things that really make for at- tractive qecoration. But the average bedroom of the schoolboy or the schoolgirl—of yeung people in -their teens—are filled with these unnecessary and unwholesome “dust catcher: From the chandeliers, mantlepieces &nd every available place dangle dance cards, - programmes and souvenirs. Pictures, so called from a lack of more fitting name, cut from magazines or glven away with a pound of tea or a package of cigarettes, plaster the walls, tacked up with pins and often the edges not even cut smooth. College and school pennants, splen- did decorations when properly hung, stuck up indiscriminately, generally over the ome framed picture in the room; if it can boast this. Bits of ribbon, tin horns, dolls and gimcracks without end, all much the worse for ‘wear, each with the mem- ory of some delightful evening, when John took you out for the first time, or when you met Mary.
