While there has been no extensive rush—nothing of a phe- momenal character in the currents of trade, there has been a steady and satisfactory trade which in some re- respects was rather surprising. ‘The mild, pleasant weather was most favorable for the shoppers and those who delayed their shopping until the Jast week were mever confronted with more depleted stocks of goods. In many things the last week brought the purchasers down to limited varie- tles to select from, and often it was Hobson's cholce or nothing. The early shoppers have certainly earned the advantage of beginning to select Christmas goods as early as the stocks are shown and to buy when there is no crowding at the counter and there is plenty of opportunity for making good selections. The business men and thelr patient and courteous clerks are to be con- gratulated wpon the display of goods made and the fine manner in which they conducted the business. May they all have a happy and prosperous New Year. ARE THEY APPREHENSIVE? ‘The reading public Is somewhat sur- prised by the conduct of the members of the Natfonal Geographical society ‘because of their ruling that Admiral Schley’s proposition to have Comman- der Peary submit his report to the university of Copenhagen as being ab- surd, , It there is enything ebsurd . in a man’s seeking for every endorsement which strengthens his fame—if there s anything absurd fn what would amount to & courtesy to this famous institution of Copenhagen, which has @ record of three centuries behind ft— then, of course, Admiral Schley’s prop- osition is absurd. ‘The reading public does not think that it is abeurd, dbut they suspect that the soclety is afraid to trust the endorsement of thelr favorite to the Danes, and that Commander Peary fears the result of such a test of his report. That society does not appear to reallze that If the report will not pass at Copenhagen that it really is no petter than Dr. Cook’s; or should it fall to convince the Danes that it does not prove that Peary Is a fraud or that he has not been to the North poia. This apparent fear is certalnly very unfortunate for the cause of Com- mander Peary, and he should override the trepidity of partisanship and show his bellef in his ability to satisfy a soclety of his enemies, If needs be, that he has discovered the North pole. Doesn’t Commander Peary think that his laurels are secure enough to entrust his report to other friendly geographical societles? HURRYING BATTLESHIPS, Records are being proken constantly 1n all directions and among the latest 15 the building of our greatest battle- ships. The Utah, just off the ways at Camden, N. J., the greatest fighting ship in the American navy, was com- pleted in nine months and eight days from the time her keel was jaid. The displacement of the Utah is 21,875 tons, as against 20,000 tons for the North Dakota and the Delaware, A sister ship to the Utah is now belng built at the Brooklyn navy yard and will be called the Florida. The North Dakota was put together in eleven months, breaking all records up to that time. As we are exempt from menacing neighbors, there appears to be no rea- son for rushing work upon these na- wval vessels; put we have the equip- jment and the efficlent workmen to re- #pond to a hurry call with the assur- ance of making as quick t!me as doing &s staunch work as any nation. It| will not be a great while before Amer- ican Dreadnoughts will be making rec- ord. time at sea. ‘We realize now that if George WWashington had discovered the North pole hie could not have held the honor unless some geographical society be- lleved in him. America might as well have had two discoverers of the North pole as one; but since such an exhibit of lying ‘been made, there may be doubts mnd it we have one. DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY'RE ‘WORTH. 1t is not probable that E. H. Harri- man knew what he was worth; and it does not seem to be easy for his executors to determine now to a dol- lar, The estimates of his fortune have fallen down over 50 per cent., and the estate, which was said to be worth $150,000,000, 18 now belleved to be above $50,000,000 and probably less than $75,000,000. The estate of every millionaire who has died in the last half-century h ‘been largely over- estimated. This is because men of millions are usually men who have large obligations and also have exten- sive holdings subject to the fluctua- tions of the stock market. In expla- nation in Mr. Harriman's case, it :s said: “Mr. Harriman had been en- gaged actively in many undertakings up to within a short time of his death and in carrying these he entered inin contracts which must be adjusted be- fore his estate can be definitely sot- tled.” It is mot likely that the public will ever know just how many mil- lions there were in Mr. Harriman's JOTTINGS ON THE FASHIONS. Long earrings are in style. No gowns fit so tightly as they did last season. 0dd settings are a feature of much attractive jewelry. Pale yeliow appears everywhere in wraps, gowns and hats. Velvet is used In making up some of the handsomest walking gowns. Satin charmeuse remains the favor- ite fabric for ball and dinner gowns, and, in fact, for evening gowns of ail descriptions. Light, flimsy chiffon mufts are in style for evening affairs. The bolero is expected to be in great favor the coming saeson. Gold or silver cloth is used as a lining to the sheer net yoke and sleeves. White furs of every sort and kind are greatly in demand. Freshening Furs. Hot bran or even sawdust will be found excellent for freshening up furs estate. FAITH IN LABRADOR. Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, the missionary to Labrador, believes there is & bright future for that country. He belleves that it is possible to raise large herds of deer there and that the markets of the world may yet be supplied from that source. In & recent lecture he is quoted as having said: “There are excellent prospects of this developing into a most profitable industry. Reindeer flesh makes splen- did food, and I look forward to the time when large quantities will be exported to supply the meat marketis of the world. Biwley, oats and other hardy cereals will also flourish, asd Jumbering offers another blg field for development.” With the fast steamers which bring big loads of coal from the provinces in these days, there is no reason why fish or even ice should not be brought from there in large quantitles. We hope Labrador’s future means cheap- er provender for the northern states. EDITORIAL NOTES. Those who live thelr lives day by day must regard these short days as the restdays of the year. % The minister who said that “Christ- mas was tuned to five notes” was thinking of finances, not music. A bachelor’s merry Christmas is his at than some of the Christmas cards, Happy thought for toda: Claus rides on the letter carrier’s back all right; and let us hope that his toll is paid. James Jeffries says that he will break Mr. Johnson's back. We thought he was to assault him from the front, not the rear. It would be interesting to know if the Chicago judge who has just de- cided that children are a necessity is married or not. When a woman prays to the Lord to slay her husband instead of to re- form him, she has the tables turned against herself. Some one desirous of saying some- thing good of King Leopold remarked that he “was a most successful raiser of Belgian hairs.” Abraham Lincoln did nmot plan nhead, He found that he could do his best by planning to do righteously from day to da: A thing which it is well to bear in mind now is that the good citizen keeps his walks clean, whether the city au- thorities do theirs or not. it they become a little soiled or mat- ted. Wash the fur in this material, rubbing well as one would were it soap and water. Repeat the process several times, shaking well after each washing. I one treafs the furs to a dry bath of this sort two or three times during the winter, the furs will retain their Iresh- ness’ wonderfully. Flower Hatpin Holder. Some attractive hatpin holders are made of a flaring glass which stands sufficiently high to hold the longest pin. Around the base of the glass green foliage is cleverly arranged, while at the top a large artificial flower forms a ft cushion. Through the heart of the flower the pins are thrust. NEEDLEWORK SUGGESTIONS, Paris Transfer Pattern No. 8128. The 12-inch doily design is to be transferred to linen, jeans, damask or Indian-head domestic and embroidered in eyelet and solid work. The little circles within the rings of eyelets in- dicate medallions let in, but if pre- ferred, the edge of the circles may be buttonholed and little spiders wov- en within. Price of pattern, 10 cents. Order through The Bulietin Com- pany, Pattern Dept., Norwich, Conn. Minister Wu says with apparent confidence that he will again visit this country in fifty years. He has faith in his staying powers. Tt all that Is being said about Dr. Cook is true, he is still great, for he has Ananias put into the shade, and Baron Munchausen beaten to a finish. The six New England states turned out forty-six million bushels of pota- toes last season. Connecticut's aver- age per acre is 120 bushels to Maine's There are men who would rather sit on a cracker barrel at the store and chin all day, than to sit down in an easy chalr at home and be enter- tained. Since some one has discovered that Dr. Cook’s report was written by a Dane, perhaps it is possible that Bar- rill wrote the Mt McKinley book, which he confesses is embellished with his lies. That Memorial. It is fitting that a bronze memorial tablet in honor of Samuel Bowles, the great editor of the Springfield Repub- lican, should be placed on the front of the enlarged building of that eminent newspaper. “All the news and the truth about it,” the motto of Mr. Bowles, will be inscribed bemeath his likeness. While Samuel Bowles was a great personality, he represented a type of the early edifors. Those men were editors and publishers. They owned their own plants and no one bossed them or told them what to write and what not to write. The newspapers v with the population and the pub- grew with all. Today the num- ber of newspapers where the managing editor is master are rare. Nine-tenths of the papers of the country today are owned by politicians or capitalists, and the man who wields the editorial pen writes what he is ordered to or what he knows he will be ordered to if he does not anticipate the order. The newspapers of today have grown in many instances beyond the capital of one man. The community today that has an uncontrolled, unfettered news- paper has an asset beyond the value of public buildings or any municipal improvement. Such a paper the Springfield Republican has always been because it has never been compelled to sell its soul to get pital and it still owned by a Bowles. The atmosphere of the Connecticut valley breathes u cleaner, freer independence because of such a’newspaper.—Malden News. A Foolish Statement.

Thoroughly mix two and a haif ru tuls of flour, sifted twiee, an even toa- spoonful each of soda, mace, alisvice and cinnamon, and a tablesponful of baking powder. Put througa a fine sieve and then add half a capful of finely chopped suet, a pouad Jf figs cut fine, a cupful of moladhss anl a cupful of milk Put into a but'~1ed making mold with tight fittinz cover, and steam for two hours. Serve with a liquid sauce, To Clean Wool Garments. The easy way of removing grease from wool is to sponge the stain well with equal parts of ammonia and wa- ter, then with clear water. Tha am- monia forms a soap with the fat or grease and this is soluble in wa er ard will rinse out. If the stain Is obstinat of white soap #né am g00d wotk in most cas-s. But when the garment is/of a eolor which will not stand water or ammo- nia the housewife resorts to dry pow- ders. For thin clothes of delicate tints pure white starch mokes an excellent cleaner. It is rubbed into the spot and allowed to remain until it has absbrb- ed the grease. Dry magnesia works in the sameé way, but costs more. A paste made of magnesia and water may be allowed to dry on some colors and will brush away, taking the grease with it. White woolens of almost any kind are best renovated by washing with w. soap suds and borax. A mixture of four parts of alcohol and one of common salt makes a1 ex- cellent cleaner for men’s and boys® gar- ments. Turpentine is necessary when {hcre 1s grease in any quantity. The siain is wet with the turpentine, then pross- ed dry between clean blotters, which absorb the compound.

One pound of flour, well sifted, haif a pound of butter and half a_pound of lard, beat the butter and lard through the flour and mix with sufficient 1ce water to roll easily. Avoid kneading §t, and use only the tips, of the fingers in mixing it. A little extra flour will be required for the board and rolling pin. Lemon Pi Take the juice and grated rind of oue one cun bolling water, froth, add sugar to taste, ai over the ple'. Set in oven until browned. Apple Butter Custard Pie. Beat together four eggs, one tea- cupful of apple butter, one of sugar, one teaspoonful of allspice, add one quart of rich milk and a piach of salt; bake in three pies with an under crust only. htly Night Lamps. Among the many night lamps now to be had are those of brass or copper, with a reflector. The chomney is more frequently than not ruby colored. The word lamp Is comes provided with a snuffer. A glz- able handle fastened to the reflector makes the lamp an easy one to carry. Velvet and Fur Muffs. Seemingly one cannot carry too large a muff today.” Among the novelties seen in Paris are muffs of puff velvet banded with fur. There are usually three bands of fur and five of the vel vet, which, of course, matches one’ costufe in color. An all fur neck piece is worn with these muffs. Cauliflower Fritters. Cauliflower fried in a deep fat is de- licious and also a pretty dish. The caulifiower should be boiled till about half done; then each dipped separate: ly in a thin batter made in the propor- tion of a tablespoonful of flour to an egg, enough water being added to give the right consistency.As soon as the caalifiower ig dipped. eook at once in the deep fat, dusting the fritters with salt before serving. ; Oyster Roast. On oyster roast in the kitchen or cellar makes a jolly finish to the day especially if the cook has gone out and the family are left to fend for them- selves. For the young people the simples way of roasting and serving the oysters is best. Wash the shells and throw by the dozen into the open fire. When they open they are done. Armed with a pair of tongs, let the chef pro tem. take them out into a large pan. From this central dish each one can remove his own, seasoning the oyster in its own juices with butter, pepper, salt, catsup, horse radish or lemon juice, which should all be at hand for varying tastes. Eat with whole wheat bread or oat meal bread and butter, pfckles and celery. If pre- ferred the feast can be concluded with popcorn popped over the glowing coals and eaten hot from the ppoper, with sweet cider, nuts and fruit. Lemon Flapjacks. One pint of milk, four eggs, juice of one lemon, flour to make a light batter, pinch of soda. Fry in hot lard. Serve with sugar and nutmeg. Spanish Rice. Eight to ten slices of bacon fr.el until brown aend crisp. One onion sliced and put in same pan with bacon, fry a golden brown. Two cups cold boiled rice and one can tomatoes added and mixed thoroughly with the cmion and_bacon, breaking the bacon irto small pleces. Heat thoroughly and serve at once. A can of peas in place of the tomatoes makes a nice change. Vegetarian Pudding. Mix half a pint of finely chopped mixed nuts with one pint of stale bread erumbs; add half a cupful of brown sugar, half of a grated nutmeg and the grated rind of one orange, Mix in another bowl ome pou1l of seeded raisins, one pound of currants, a quarter of a pound of shredded citren and a quarter of a pound of shradded orange peel. Dust over this migcare four tablespoonfuls of flour, then mix them with the other ingrediea’s: »dd sufficient grape juice, about a cuoful, to moisten, pack the ingredients 1n a mold or keftle, cover and hoil or sieam continuously for six hours.

Parls Pattern No. 3120 — All Seams Allowed. The semi-fitting coat in 42-inch length is a garment which is popular with all ladies, and the design here shown is particularly pleasing because of its well cut lines.

Osder thruogh The Bulletin Company, Pattern Dept.. Norwich, Conn. The career of ‘H. U. Mudge, new president of the Rock Island railroad, is full of inspiration to every man in the railroad business or in any other business. Tie simply proves that real Success is not always the result of “pull” Thirty-seven years ago he was carrying water for the laborers along the line of the Santa Fe raflroad. A quarter of a century after he carried his first pail of water to the section hands he was riding over the line in his own private car, and today he finds himself, president of one of the great- set railroad companies in the country. But, between the water carrying days and the present, there stretched’ long years of preparations for the honors that came to him, from time to time, as he was ready for them. To prove himself competent for each increase in responsibility he learned the railroad business from the first spike to the pri- vate car. His elevation to the presi- dency of the road is due solely to the fact that he was the right man for the place. It is a fitting culmination for his_professional career, or rather an Panned Baked Apples. ‘Wash, guarter and core some tert apples.

Add one unbeaten egg, mix and form into -a roll the shape and size of a turkey, baste with melted butter and bake in a moderate oven for one hour. Blue Again Popular. In Paris every women who can pos— sitly arcrd it has a blue suit. fi L of ths dark color, almost blasig, n°d favor seems to be heaped upon serge 50 rough ana loosely woven that one wonders how it has been handled so successfully by the tailor. One very good model of this mate- rial has a short Russian coat button- ing from the left shoulder to the bottem of the left side, but without a ront. A flat turned down collar clasps the base of the throat closely. This and the cuffs are trimmed with black braid. It also §s placed in straight lines on each side of the back and front, Through huge embroldered evelets a scarf of black silk is threaded from the neck to the bust line down the front of the coat. Silk fringe edges this unusual trimming. The skirt has the effect of a short yoke in the back which widens into a long apron-front tunic. Under the lower stitched edge pleats fall to give tullness at the bottom. A lovely blue blouss of chiffon over gold net is worn with this suit. The rage for blue is certainly ac- ceptable, because it is becoming to nearly every woman, and is one of the most serviceable of this season’s col- ors. COSTUME DOLLS. Fashions in dolldom change, lke fashions in everything else. Just nmow little peasant dolls are the thing. All the toy shops are showing them. The finest of these costume doils, as they are called, comg from Munich and their costumes are wonderfully accurate. There are flaxen haired German dolls, Swedieh dolls and dolls dressea_like the peasants of the Swiss Tyrol, in velvet suit, alpine hat and long feather. There are matronly peasant dolls in full skirts of green silk, black bodices and sheer blouses. There are Dutch dolls with their quaint caps and wood- en shoes. In fact, not a distinctive type is forgotten in these collections of peasant dolls. Their faces are good, too. Dolls certainly do seem to be growing better looking every year. The faces of these peasant dolls, painted evidently by artists, are exceedingly auspicious beginning for a new career along a higher plgne of usefulness and opportunity.

Out of justice to State Highway Com- missioner MacDonald we quote the Zol- lowing few words from a statement cf W. who is the director of the public roads’ bureau of the depart- ment. of agriculture at Washington. M; Page says: e that the criti cism from Connecticut is similar to th criticism from other states which wi constantly hear. The question of keep- ing our roads in good repair is a very serious one. The automobiles are chief- ly responsible for the trouble, and I should think Connecticut woul ‘more ‘troubled in this way than any other state, as tomoblles traveling the other.” critelsm emanating, apparently, frem the motoring circle that it seems coly fair to him that more publicity be xiv- en the defense offered the commission- er by the government officlal.—iNew Haven Paliadium. . No Indication. “One can readily understand that a commissionership developing as this has with millions to disburse should attract politicians with itchiag palws and who for purposes of their own woulé start a campaign of criticism to Aiscreoi: the work of tnz present in- cumbent.” The above refers to the position held by Highway Commuassiener Mac Donald, and it is part of a long lctter to the Hartford Courant from the pen of A J.

We lieve that Mr. Birdsey i wrong in stating that the criticism of the high- ways comes from men who wan! the commissionership or any part of ‘.. There is no indication that this is fact.
