WORCESTER NEEDS A CANAL. The Worcester Telegram adheres to its “afirmation that ‘“the heart of Massachusetts” needs a waterway to the ocean, and that waterway, as we know is by way of the Quinebaug, Shetucket and Thames rivers to the sound; and Norwich can find no cause for doing other than seconding the motion, for it would be pleasant to see eanal boats and light draught steamers, to say nothing of house- boats passing “the Rose of New En- gland” bound for the heart of Massa- chusetts. This is what the Telegram has to say upon the subject: “When the waterways men meet in Providence the last of the month they should not forget that Worcester needs & canal to annex it to the sea- shors. Since it was enlarged for businass in 1899 the Sault Ste. Marie canel has taken care of a traffic that has increased by 129 per cent. Last year 57,895,149 tons of freight passed through the canal, and 94 per cent. of that was carried in Americah ves- sels. We can attend to the shipping when we make up our minds to do it, resardless of subsidies. The growth of shipping through the canals will make Americans take to the oceans with thelr own ships in the course of time. Worcester will want a line of steamers connecting it with Eu- rope when it gets that canal through Connecticut. [ LOOKING FOR THE REAL DUST BINDER. While plenty of automobiling indi- viduals appear to know the dust binder that binds, the men who bave public roads under their supervision have not yet found out which of the dust binders on the market are the real thing. The Massachusetts highway asso- ciation is still looking for the most satisfactory dust binder, and that implies, of course, which will do most work for least money, and the other day they visited Newton and from Newton they went to Watertown and inspected four or five different pleces of road that have been treated with tar and oll. In Watertown they saw the effect of oll emulsion, and then, returning to Newton, drove over va- rious pieces of treated road on the way to Wellesley. That town has made some Interesting experiments with preparations of tar and asphait oil. Returning from Wellesley to Newton they passed over a number of streets having bituminous binders of varlous kinds and then went to Brookline where town and park roads were imspected. It will be interest- ing to note what their opinion is later. State Highway Commissioner Mc- Donald while abroad will visit some of the famous roads in Europe, some of which are being torn up by speed maniacs, and he will also have a chance to learn at Brussels from the world’s authorities what ‘in their opinion makes the best roads and the best dust binders. THE BRITISH PARCELS POST. The consul general of the United States at London gives information concerning the growth and impo-c- ance of the parcel post system In the United Kingdom, to show that such a post would be no detriment to this country. He says: “The parcels post business trars- acted through the British postoftice in 1909 was as follows: Parcels for- warded, 2,808,051, of which 221,639 ‘were insured; parcels received, 1,534~ 042, of which 140,782 were insured: total parcels forwarded and received, 4,342,093, an increase of 89,732 over the preceding year, and an increase of 15,237 parcels insured. The following statement shows the Ine of the goods exported from and ported into the United Kingdom by parcels post during the past three talendar years “There has growth in the number of parcels sent been a very great from the United Kingdom to the United States by reason of the re- vision of the rates of postage aad the Increase in the maximum weight from 4 pounds 6 ounces to 1 pounds. The British postmaster general states that “more recent figures show that there has been a very large in- crease in the outward and a moderate one in the homeward packets It is probable that the establishment of the service has been of some use in small articles which can conveniently be sent by post.” “What is known as an insured box post was established on January 1, 1908, between the United Kingdom and VFrance and Belgium. It has eince been extended to Holland and Germany, and will probably, in the rather immediate future, be made to include other Continental countries. The insured box post is intended for the conveyance of articles of gold &nd silver (except coin), precious stones, jewelry and valuable articles of a llke nature which cannot be for- warded in Insured letters and which cannot be conveniently sent as par- cels. “There is also a system of insured letters in this country. The maximum amount for which a letter can be in- eured is $1.946. It is estimated that during 1909 13,370 insured letters were semt to places abroad against 11,805 in 1908, while the estimated number received from places abroad was 61,555, against 59,491 in the pre- vious year.” - Such a pest would be of great ad- vantage to the American people and it would greatly Increase the jncome f the postoffice department. Castlston, Vt, the town that fou bids* a speed of over six miles an hour to automobiles on its streets, is told that its main street is cne of the poorest pieces of road in sixty miles, and that as men of any sense would take no’ chances in running over it at high speed. g T —~ — THEY.. WILL ' LOSE THEIR LI- The. commissioners of ‘Worcester county afe determined that the sa- loon treating habit shall come to an end, and that the invitation from be- hind the bar to “have another drink on the house” shall be forever si- lenced. The liquor dealers were given notice that this practice of in citing men to drink inordinately should cease forever, and that no lig- should be served over the bar that was not regularly called . and fully paid for. The commissioners explain that treating greatly increases drunken- ness. When an imbiber receives a foaming schogner from the “house” gratis it has been found that he buys three or four more drinks to show his appreciation, and shortly after- ward requires a ride to the police station in a patrol wagon. The commissioners called in seven offenders the other day charged with keeping up the practice, and they did not deny the allegation, but said that they took the warning of the commissioners as a’joke. They were told that it was no joke and that a repetition would cause them all to lose their licenses—that the call to “drink on the house” must perma- nently cease. This is certainly one way to res- trict a pernicious habit and an ef- fective way. RELIGIOUS EQUALITY. It is somewhat surprising that King Alfonso should have come out for re- ligious equality in Spain when there are so few people in the country of other than the Catholic faith. The entire population of Spain is virtually Catholic in. religion, the Protestants numbering about 7,000, Jews about 4,000 and other non-Catholics, 19,000. The nation, by the requirements of the conmstitution, supports the clergy and the buildings of the church, mal ing an annual appropriation of 200,000 for the purpose. The relig- jous orders have had a great inu- ence as history shows. They con- duct schools and many of them pos- sess highly prosperous industries. OF the 3,253 orders more than 2,600 are for women. The action of King Alfonso, which has brought about a crisis in Spain and now threatens revolution, was the signing of a decree which fixes a limit to the number of these re ious orders and places all the denon inations, Catholic, Protestant or Jew- ish, upon the same level in the sight of the la The bishop of Madrid denounces the decree as an ‘“actual infraction of the constitution.” Premier Canal- ejas, who persuaded King Alfonso t take this step, answered the bishor of Madrid as follows: “I wish to speak in very plam terms. Never shall a foreign influ- ence force the hands of this govern- ment. Never shall the power of the church in this country assert itse above the power of the state. T see a religious element in Spain wh is_inclined to invade a sphere win which it has nothing to do. * * * 1 have violated neither the Con- cordat with the vatican nor the con- stitutlon of my country. There are moments in life when a decisive step has to be taken. This moment has come for Spain, and we are taiin the course which is the only one possible.” It is not strange that there is con- siderable commotion and now and then a violent demonstration; but it is plain enough that Spain will in nowise suffer because of this change. EDITORIAL NOTES. Honolulu has just been put to the test and went wet by a big majority. Happy thought for to-day—think- ing twice and not acting once is too common. Lawrence did not get its mayor in jail till the city was completely bankrupted. Texas is calling loudest for postal savings banks, with Pennsylvania for a good second. s Senator Crane may be the official scout of the administration, but he will not show his badge. The fact that they are having ex- citing times in Kansas is not news. That is perfectly natural to the state. Oklahoma thinks that the megro has no rights the white man is bound to respect. Poor beginning for a new state. The ract tnat Sarah Bernhardt has become a great-grandmother does not decrease her popularity on the stage. This is the Toledo Blade's idea of a sensible prayer: “Lord help us to be decent, and don't let us make you tirea!"” Taft not only is having the time of his life in the pie belt, but he has to loosen his belt to make room for the pie. - The state department at Washing- ton gives notice that Charlton is extraditable.

It may be all right to find fault with the mew $1,000 bills, but on gen- eral principles the people would like to-see the bill before they back the complainants. After having charged Vice-Presi- dent Sherman with graft in Indian affairs it is shown to Congressman Gore that Sherman was opposed to the whole business.

This placed in a cabinet in the blue drawing room, the windows of which command a_most beautiful view. The late Queen Victoria was one of Land- seer’s warmest admirers and purchased many of his works. Elizabeth Hirsch has been elected vice president of the city council of Liegnitz, Germany. She is the first 4voman to occupy that office and was chosen because of her ability as a bu: ness woman. Several years ago her husband died and she inherited his large manufacturing business.

Entirs gowns of the ali-over beaded jet are «to be seen. Bead fringes matching the costume are seen on smart gowns. The very latest scarfs of Spanish lace are almost like a mantilla. Flat feweled collars are worn at the base of the neck now; the high dog collars are not seen. One sces many plumed picture hats: also chapeaux showing net, silk, wings and novel embroideries. Bathing suits arz made in princess style and in the semi-princess, which is_ better liked by most women. All bathing suits that are fashion- able are made of mohair, taffeta, satin, louisine or (occasionally) of foulard. Perhaps the greatest novelty of all in sho th> Panama pump, made from straw. Pumps of this material have leather tips and collar.

Tf the recipe for ice cream calls for fruit or nuts. do not add them to the mixture at the outset, but when the cream is partially frozen and the freez— er is opened stir the half-fromen con- tents. This rule followed, the dessert will be smoother. In making a parfait, it is well to stand the bowl of beaten eggs in a pan ; of cold salt water, before pouring on the Dboiling syrup. Take care not to add the syrup and egg mixture to the whipped cream until it is quite cold.

Small wire paper clips are used by the tiny mother to keep clothes on her paper dolls. Acid fruits require an almost un- limited amount of sugar, much of which can be saved by stirring in be- fore sweetening, a little soda—a half teaspoonful to a quart of fruit! New ironware should not be used for cooking unless it is first touched. The addition of potato parings to the wa- ter is one of the best means of getting the new ware in proper condition. Slit open the two upright edges of your hat box so that when the cover is raised the side will drop as if hinged. This is an_especially good plan when the box is kept on a high shelf, as the hat may be taken out without taking down the box. Where to Hitch the Veil. For those who are partial to the use of the sailor hats, here is a wrinkle concerning the adjustment of the veil: First fasten the top edge of it to fit round the crown, so that it stands up firmly in a fold; then gather up the loose ends and knot them at the back. The veil (of double width) thus ma- neuvered, seems to soften the outlines of the whole hat, fits over the face perfectly, and defies the stormiest LIFE T0 Lydia E.
