Tax Commissioner Corbin has a measure for the just taxation of auto- moblies which ought to meet with the approbation of the owners of motor carriages in all parts of the state. It is too much to expect that it will please all, but it seems to be so fairly draughted that it shouid com- mand the enddrsement of a majority of the men having an interest in the matter. The commissioner’s plan “provides that at the time of paying the annual registration fee at the office of the wecretary 'of state, an additional amount be paid to the secretary of state, based and graded on the manu- facturer's list of selling prices with proper deduction for use, the extra amount so collected as a tax to be forwarded by the secretary of state to the town In which the owner lives; such payment to exempt the automo- bile from all further local and state taxation.” nother provision of this bill is instead of forwarding to the towns the amounts received from automobiles in this way it has also been suggest- ed that the same be credited to the amount which the town would pay the state In connection with the comstruc- tion of any highways within its bor- ders. meney pald by the automobile owners would be applied definitely to the roads If this were clearly under- stood, the tax might be paid with much more willingness, than if the amount received were used in defray- ing general town expenditures. These appear to be commendable features, and to furnish a way to put a just estimate upon the value of ev- ery motor car. A LEGAL FIGHT IN PROSPECT. The report that a law in New Hampshire which forbids any person in that state leaving a bequest above 35,000 & year for any religious organ- izatlon will interfere with the will of Mrs. Eddy and deprive the Mother ehurch of her millions, should be taken with & grain of salt. When Mary Baker Eddy died she was not a resident of New Hampshire, aithough she had a home in Concord; and the church she left her property to is located in Boston, and over it or her the state of New Hampshire has no jurisdiction. If the will was made in Concord, the lawyers may find a to get up a legal contest and in a techplcal way milk the estate for a scors or two of .thousands. The settlement Mrs. FEddy made with. her heirs before her death was only a step taken to prevent her church from being attacked by rela- tives when her estate was being dis- posed of, and it will have its effect to strengthen the will if the relatives have been influenced to make a new fight for the legal division of her mil- lions. It does not look as if the Mother church would be robbed of the millions she so earnestly desired to devote to it and which she had a right to dispose of as she saw fit. A MILD JANUARY. January thus far has been a most satisfactory month in this section. It has glven us the water we needed, and it has taken the heavy draught off the coal bin. It has given those who fol- low old-fashioned rules for fertilizing thelr lawns time to get in the work which tells, for anyone can get good srass setting If he will begin this early to give the lawn the attemtion that cannot be as well given it at any other time. The soft days make this possible and while the time is yet dis- tant for stirring up the soil, the spreading of fertilizers and the scat- tering of lime will do much to give the grass luxuriance. The suburban dwell- er who is at this work now will have the prize lawn a few months hence. It is too early to tell what the next four months hold in store for us, for it would be something extraordinary if we did not have ice-muking weather in the next ten weeks. It 18 seldom that the backbone of nter Jasts in this latitude after the h of February, if we do occasionally have frosts every month in the year. The winter with us has turned the center dnd spring is not far off.

In China women are mot allowed to be photograpited. z.cnmn!chumvm- !Y.Df Virginia has been elected dean of women for the Orewnttflcnnunl States having a population to each of 8,000 or over, as against 546 such cit- ies in 1901; but, what is of far more significance, he finds that 38.2 per cent, of the entire population of the coun- try at the beginning of 1911 was liv- ing in citles of 3,000 population and over, as against 32.88 of the whole liv- ing in such urban centérs in 1901. The analysis would have been far more sat- isfactory if it had included in the ur- ban count villages and towns of a pop- ulation rating of 500 and over. In other words, the analysis should show just what percentage of the whole pop- ulation is mow in populous centers. An ificrease of the cities of 8,000 by 180 in ten years shows the trend of the age toward the better advantages of life is continuous and is not likely to change. It is claimed that this same trend in German cities has been greater in the past quarter-centry than in the preceding two centuries. MR. BRANDEGEE'S DISAPPOINT- MENT. The bitter feeling in some parts of eastern Counecticut over the triupmh of McLean -is probably an expression of Senator Brandegee's @isappoint- ment. It is to be hoped that for his own interest, as well as for the good of the state, Mr. Brandegee will let his wounds heal speedily, and begin to look forward. He has been out of sympathy with the spirit of the state in several particulars, perhaps through Mr, Bulkeley’s influence, perhaps be- cause of his'own disagreement. He is supported at home to a considerable degree, but the eastern part of the state contains only a small part of the population of Connecticut, and it never can prevail when it differs radi- cally from the larger part. Mr. Bran- degee has several years to get back into touch with popular feeling again, and having expelled his bile through his friendly newspapers, he ought to feel better and be better and do bet- ter.—Waterbury American. The Bulletin was surprised to see anything of this kind in The Ameri- can. The Bulletin is not aware of the bitter feeling in eastern Connecticut because of McLean’s victory. The papers in eastern Connecticut are pro- testing against the continual abuse and misrepresentation of Senator Brandegee by the McLean supporters. To say that The Bulletin expresses or has expressed Senator Brandegee's disappointment is a gross misrepre- sentation; and it Dbelieves this is equally true of its eastern Connecticut contemporaries. It knows Senator Brandegee well enough to say that he has as little to do with the press as any man who ever held a high politi- cal honor. Action is what will tell in the next two years, and the chances for comparison are all right. If there is any bitterness shown by the press, it represents the feeling of eustern Connecticut republicans, and it is worthy of being respectfully noticed, too, in the western part of the state. EDITORIAL NOTES. Senator Elkins left twenty millions, but no claim is made that he earned it as a statesman. When severe colds are fashlonable no one takes the pains to call for the coughing syrup. The man in Adams county, Ohio, who did not get indicted must feel somewhat lonexume. He isn’t in the swim. Mayor Gaynor has cut the expenses of the city of New York three millions and no great disturbance has result- ed from it. The Utah division of the Union Pa- cific road will in future carry armed guards. The brigand must keep clear or bite the dust. There are some men right here in New London county who could go to Adams county, Ohio, to live and feel perfectly at home. They say that the democratic con- ferences in Massachusetts are handi- capped because there are so many dark horses présent. Mayor Latrobe of Baltimore, seven times elected to the office, is dead, with no enemies. This is a great trib- ute to the first citizen. The report that a strong lobby worked for Lorimer at Washington will set him to wondering what that is, and how it happened. The New York man who died while counting his money must have been 80 intent upon business that he did not know when he lost his grip. Attention is called to the fact that by recent court rulings eZg8 are eggs when shelled and canned; & hen is not a bird; rats are wearing apparel. Happy thought for today: It is curious how much faster and farther a funny story will travel than’'a fine quotation from an impressive sermon. The prediction made by Eugene Debs that there will be a revolution in this country on Lincoln’s birthday does not appear to be taken seriously. Six senators in the state of Ver- mont bar the vote of the people upon a constitutional amendment, and the people do not regard it as popular rule. The South Dakota legislators are trying to regulate how women shall wear their hair, by law. They have yet to learn that such a law will not work. ‘The Grand Duchess Elizabeth, mummmmwu— come an abbess of the Russian order of White Nuns. Miss Mary C.

It contains 2,000 pearls, and the princess delights to wear it in odd ways. Princess Use of Perfumes. To the girl of fastidious taste the strong and blatant use of perfumes is objectionable. And men are even vio- lent in their denunciation. Yet there is nothing sweeter than a dainty girl, unless it is a dainty baby. It is not the use, but the abuse of perfumes and cachets that is objec- tionable. The girl who wishes to guard against this should remember that all she wants is to have her clothing tinged with a breath of a delicate odor, which is never detected unless one is quite close. To accomplish this one should be careful in bestowing sachets about the clothing. They should always be cut to fit the pplace where they are to g0. Sometimes they are in the shape of rose petals to fit the artificial roses which one wears in ‘bodice or hair, or they are made long and thin to be ‘worn un th a dog collar which clasps the neck. It is rather a fad with some gir's to have their soap scented with their own perfume. Many girls use per- fume In their rooms by spraying it about or by burning sticks that are manufactured on order of the Chinese joss ones. Dinner Party Don'ts. Don’t seat the two cleverest people side by side. Don’'t have nervous waiting malds. Don’t confide any of your terrified anticipations to your husband. Don't put & man next to his wife or a married couple on the same side of the table. Plocait Gatter: Bail - out separately, spread with butter, HHLER ST SRR — reast of Mutton Fried.

Potato Croquette. Take sufficlent mashed potatoes, salt and pepper to taste, and if liked, bread crumbs. Boil and mash the po tatoes; add a seasoning of pepper and salt, and a little minced parsley may be added or not. Roll the potatoes in- to small balls, cover them with egz ana_bread crumbs and fry in hot ofl or drippings until light brown; let them drain before the fire, dish them on a napkin and serve. Stewed Carrots. Take seven or eight large carrots. one teacupful of broth, pepper and salt to taste, half teacupful of cream, thickening of butter and flour. Scrape the carrots nicely; half boil and slice them into stewpan; add the broth, pepper and salt and cream; simmer till tender, and_be careful the carrots are not broken. A few minutes be- fore serving mix a little flour with about one ounce of Qutter; thicken the gravy with this; let it just boil up, and serve. Making a Valance.

Don't fail-to be ready and in the drawing room five minutes before the !i‘me the guests are expected to ar- rive. Don’t allow the conversation to be- come entirely between couples. Make it general at times. Fresh Things. Some of the signs by which to tell good fruit and vegetables are here in- dicated: Oranges are sound and juicy when heavy, but not too hard. Radishes and turnips when spongy are not fit to eat. Pineapples are best wihen the edges of the top are smooth; in inferior qualities the tops are of the sawedged variety. Celery is good when it breaks without much bending. Asparagus should be quite stiff. Nuts cannot be judged very correctly until they are opened, but they should be of g;m‘l weight and not too hard to crack. HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS. Juttermilk is the best possible thing to clean linoleum and oilcloth. A solution of one teaspoonful of per- oxide into a teacup of water makes a sanitary wash to use in the mouth every morning and evening. When sweeping Turkish, Axminster or any thick-plied carpets always brush the way of the ply and it will look fresh and bright for years. You can remove grease spots from wallpaper with_blotting paper and a hot flatiron. Put the blotting paper over the stain and press it with the hot iron. A Useful Material. Cheesecloth is to be had cheaply, and is as valable for dusters and rubbers as many of the more n- sive fabrics. Its great merit is that it is firm, though so loosely woven that grease and dirt come out of it easily in washing. The best disheloths are of cheesecloth, double, with the raw edges turned in, and then stitched in the machine. Cabinetmakers use sets of three cheesecloth dusters for furni- ture, the first for applying the oil, the second to remove it and the third as a polisher. Cheesecloth is splendid for cleaning windows and mirrors, and a bag of it s useful in the kitchen for straining soups. Household Glue. To make a liquid glue that will last for years, break some pieces of glue and put them into a bottle, adding to them a little whiskey. Cork the bot- tle tightly and set it aside for a few | when the glue will be ready ; days, for use without the application of heat, except in very cold weather. In this case the bottle should be placel in hot water for a few minutes before the glue is used. An Invalid’s Pudding. One cup of milk, one tablespoonful of sugar, one egg, one tablespoonful of cornstarch, one teaspoonful of vanilla. Heat the milk, add the beaten egg and -sugar, and the cornstarch mixed with a little cold milk.. Boil, stirring, until thick. After it is taken up from the firei add vanilla and stand away to cool. Fruit Salad. Put on individual plates first a lay- er of shredded lettuce, then the de- sired fruits, nuts and celery, etc., mix- ed first in a separate dish with the dressing. Place a lrge portion of this mixture on the-lettuce and on top of this a tablespoonful of whipped cream with a little sugar and a dash of sher- ry in it. Garnigh the top of each por- tion with a candied cherry and whole nut meat. Parker House Rolls. Scald one quart of milk, and add to it one-half ‘cupful each of sugar and butter, and one teaspoonful of salt; stir in enough flour to make a bat- ter as thick as for pancakes. Let it cool, and when lukewarm stir in a half cupful of yeast or one cake of frequent washing, it is a good idea to put it into a narrow band, provided With buttonholes at intervals close enough to prevent sagging. Buttons are sewed to the sheeting in places to correspond. Girls’ Coiffures. Many mothers are puzzled these days to decide how to arrange the hair of the little daughter when she gets beyond the age of “bobbed” hair or curls tied with a_bow. Simplicity and Dbecomingness must both be achicved and the taste of the girl herself tuken into consideration. For a young girl—say, from 13 to 15 years—who is too tall to wear her hair hanging loose, about the pretti- est and most becoming way of ar- ranging it is to first divide the front and back hair to make a pompadour, held in place by a bowknot of satin ribbon; the back part then caught just in the center and tied with a piece of tape; the end again braided and the braid doubled back and caught into the same piece of tape with a ribbon tied over it in a pretty bow. By no means the least important part of the coiffure is the tying of the hair ribbon. Nothing makes a young girl to Jook so untidy as a hair ribbon not carefully tied or one that is not a 2ood color for the gown with which it is worn. The method just described of arrang~ ing the hair possesses the great advan- tage thatwhileit leaves the hair be- comingly loose about the face the rib- bon is at the same time held securely and will not be constantly falling off, as when it only catches the hair in the center of the back with nothing to Ottumwa, Yowa.—For dmost & constant sufferer trouble lone more for me than all I feel it my dm.y to fell you these facts.
