The hunter’s license is not popular anywhere, and the olden time hunters can see neither sense mor reason in it. Just mow there is an attempt to have the license law repealed in New Jersey, a state that is paying $18,000 to restock its woods and streams; which would throw the entire cost of the sport upon property and persons who do not hunt game. How much it cests to maintain the sport is shown by the fact that the fish and game commissioners of that state have ex- pended something like $18,000 for hardy young birds that are to be lib- erated in the coming spring. Of these 4,000 will be English pheasants and 2,000 Hungarian grouse. They will cost about $3 each and will be special- ly selected, of an age to mate and hatch young and the supposition Is that when next November arrives there will be 6,000 old birds and about 360,000 young ones, less the number xilled by hawks, caught by foxes or destroyed by other predatory animals. That will be an average of about one bird for each of the 35,000 licensed gunners, not counting the parents and progeny of the birds left over from last year’s gunning. ‘With all this expense, it is not easy to see how the game can be preserved with such an army of exterminators let loose to shoot it. It looks -as if the number of licenses ought to be Mmited if good results are expected. A SHIFTY MAJORITY. ‘The town of Putney, Vt., is a proh bition town and the hotel keeper has been detected selling liquor illegally and taken into court and the report of the trial says: “Mr. Shumway pleaded guilty, but presented a petition signed by 90 peo- ple, asking for lenlency, ‘and saying that he had been selling with their knowledge and permission.” This is a peculiar defense, but the petitioners represent a majority of the voters of the place, and the hotel keeper apparently concluded that il- legal selling could be made legal by such a private endorsement of the people who voted the other way. The Rutland News justly inquires: “Why was it that only 78 men epenly voted ‘yes’ last March while 90 men consented ‘yes’ secretly after- ward? 3 “Is that the way to live up to the loeal eption law? “In the old state prohibition days ‘we used to hear about this man and that man in this and that town sell- ing a Ilittle liquor on the sly with the knowledge and tacit consent of the “better element’ of the community. And we used to denounce it as fraud and = “Is this old habit so fixed in our Vermont character that we cannot be honest with ourselves under a law that offers the premium to civic hon- esty and says to every community in the state that it can have either li- cense or prohibition, whichever its lo- cal public' sentiment demands? ‘“Must. we always mask our real ap- petite for rum under. the smirking pretence of a pious clove? “Must we always vote ‘no’ and drink ‘yes'?” February 12, THE DESERTION OF THE FARM. There is no doubt that life condi- tions have changed very much in this republic during the past fifty years, and that these changed conditions are the cause of the higher cost of living. Every combination that decreases the purchasing power of the dollar in- creases the price of manufactured goods or farm products; and every- thing which diminishes the supply while the demand #s constantly in- creasing is also adding to the cost of living. i ‘A western authority presents the fol- lowing facts for present consideration: “When our nation became a republic over 90 per cent. of the population tilled the soil. In 1861 barely 63 per cent. followed the same occupation. In 1900 the percentage had fallen below 45 and at the present time it has less than 40. 'This means that 40 per cent. of the population is trying to do for nation of today what 90 per cent. 5 vears ago. ‘“The apple crop for the year 1888 ©9,000,000 barrels and in 1908 0,000 barrels, = This decrease of 46,000,000 barrels in twenty years is not a trifling matter. Add to this item the great decrease in the production of maple. sugar. “Ona of the main hindrances to the reforestration of the country, accord- ing to Gifford Pinchot, is the fact that the farmers cannot afford to plant trees on their land when they can get ~auch good prices for grains and grain- fattened beef and pork. The farmer is letting little land go to timber growth with wheat at $1 a bushel and corn above 69 cents most of the time.” It is clear enough that proportions have greatly changed—trade ‘wage balances have been upset, and| that better times simply depend upon readjusting all conditions for a more equitable bisis of wages and trade. A BOLD FRONT. The beef barons appear to accept the maxim that “to hesitate is to be lost!” They do not mind the legal movements on foot to get at the cause of the high price of beef, but just give public notice that the price of ORK NEEDLEW < § beef has advanced in the face of the present trying situations. & The campaign of education now en- ‘tered upon will be of great advantage to the people and they will buy prov- ender with more intelligent care and greater economy. ’ At Chicago the federal grand jury will give at least two weeks more to looking into the packing industry. Officials of the department of justice are presenting evidence that the set- ting of prices by the “Big Four,” con- stituting the beef combine, was the result of an agreement made in the violation of the anti-trust law. In New York, the board of alder- men has under consideration an ordi- nance providing that all foods held in cold storage must be tagzed with the date at which they go into storage and the date when they come out. It held a public hearing last week at which provision dealers admitted that poultry is sometimes held from six to nine months and that goat’s flesh has been sold for lamb. The cold- storage business is bound to be the center of attention in every part of the country as the pending agitation proceeds. . ‘While numerous local investigations are in progress, the national legisla- ture is at work for an inquiry upon a grand scale. Last week the senate of the United States authorized a spe- cial committee of seven senators to investigate the gemeral enhancement of values, covering not only food and clothing, but many other articles used in everyday life. The investigation also will look into the subjects of salaries, earnings and the tariff. Not only will prices in the markets be included, but also those at the farm and the factory. The reading public will get after awhile such a knowledge of the char- acter of some of these preserved foods that they will abstain from them be- cause of their age and werthless and perilous character. BOSTON’S GROWTH. Boston has reason to be proud of her’| growth. The addition of more mil- lions each year to her physical im- provement than are represented in the grand list of Norwich, shows that she has a move on in keeping with the spirit of the age. The Boston Record notes this advance as follows: “The physical Boston develops ac- tively with the rest. In the year end- ed January 31 Boston gained $19,091,- 710 in new buildings and improve- ments, compared with §15,833,290 in previous year. There are now 89,079 buildings of all kinds in the city, and in the 1,078 added in 1909 we have some of the most beautiful and com- manding from an architectural point of view which have ever been erected here. In no time has there been great- er attention paid to civic buildings, and the results both in the business district and in the beauty-spot of the city, the Fenway section, have been superb.” Design of water lilies to be transfer- red to a sofa pillow top, mea: x22 inches, and embroidered with cerized cofton or silk floss in white or colors, according to taste, the stitch used being the Wallachian and the dots done in eyelet stitch, Price of pattern 10 cents.

Combs and Brushes Must be Clean. In order to have healthy and beauti- ful hair it is neces: to have all articles for dressing the hair perfectly clean. The best way to cleanse brushes without softening the bristles is to put a teaspoonful of ammonia into a quart of water and soak the bristles of the brush in the solution (keeping the back of the brush out of the water). The brush is then rinsed in fresh water and dried in the air, but not in the subn. Combs may be cleansed in Ike man- ner, using a small brush or coarse thread or card between the teeth.

Rag Shower for Bride Is Novel. A clever surprise got up for a bride- to-be was a “rag shower.” The so-called rags were bags for all kinds of housekeeping — dishcloths, dusters and every other thing of the kind that the neatest young house-~ keeper might wish for. There were dish towels neatly hem- med and of different sizes for glasses, silver and' dishes; floor cloths, cha- mois for ‘windows and iron holders. Among the bags were laundry bags, pudding bags, a shoe bag and many others that looked like it to hang on the inside of door for dust brushes and the like to go into. Then there were work bags and bags for dainty waists, and even satchet The fact is pointed out that the boycott has made corned beef and scorned beef amount to the same thing.

The thoroughly dried sentiments of love circulated on St. Valentine’s day are not exactly like those tenderly volced. “The individual articles are mot ex- pensive and they should be most ac- ceptable. p An Opera Bag. The opera bag may be shaped to fit the glasses or it may be of ample size, but an ordinary square-shaped bag with sHghtly rounded corners. The material should be invariably somaowhat rich, or at least silken; not linen or otherwise suggestive of sew- ing or darning. i For the elderly lady who inclines toward gray or the delicate colors there is an ideal little bag of Irish pop- lin embroidered with lavender rococo ribbon, otherwise known as ribbon em- broidery. The little flowers are the heliotrope blossom and the spray is en- riched by silver leaves of the daintiest size and an occasional steel bead. The bag is pulled together at the top by gray silken cords and faced throughout with lavender satin.

A smart little coat for a child from four to six-‘years of age seen recently was of smooth face cloth in a delight- ful shade of gray-blue on a smoke tone. The material hung full and loose from the shoulders and the cpat dis- played long broad revers braided with soutaches matching the color of the cloth. These revers ended in a sharp point below the waist line and closed with one handsome button.. - At this point three rows of shirring ran around the coat, not meeting in front, but left plain, to suggest a panel. The shirring created a full short skirt similar to the French dress. Full sleeves ended in bralded cuffs.

Apple and Banana Sauce. POINTS ON FASHIONS AND FADS. Soft cashmere, wool crepe and silk and wool combinations are popular for gowns for house wear, as well as for ‘wear under long coats. A touch of black is considered smart in almost every style of neckwear. Velvet or satin are favorite materials for producing this effect. Fur or velvet gowns is one of the distinctive innovations of the winter, and this applies to smart indoor cos- tumes as well as to street wear. Many of the tailored blouses arc made with cuffs extending almost to the elbow. These cuffs are usually trimmed with straps or buttons, or both.

Overskirt draperies in many artistic forms play a leading part in the win- ter modes and a distinctive feature of afternoon and reception gowns.
