Dear Sisters—Have you thought that spring is herw, and that March is the time to look around the lawn and see what repairs it will be needing? Overhaul your lawn tools and plan for others, if they are needed. If you have muiched your lawn In the fall, just as soon ay the frost leaves it re- ‘move this mulch, otherwise the roots under it will take an unnatural start, and if we have frosts later, they will recelve a sel. Now 1s the time to tie up your porch pines and prune your hydrangeas, dogwood and rose bushes. Griipe vimes, if not already done, should be done at once; by March 15th it will be time to uncover your bulb and ly borders. LilMes of the Valley pips be started soon if we want them for Baster bloom. If you enjoy & loy bed as much as I do you 1 sow vyour parsiey now in-doors and -have w good April crop. Before planting meed soak in warm water for a day, as it is very slow to inate. Norwich. D FLOWER.

Dear Sjsters of the Corner:—Many things are dropped down the register of a hot-air furnace. To prevent them 8o beyond recall | cut up two old window screens, cutting obloni pieces of metting to fit on_top of the pipe below the register. Now I can easily lift out register and get the article dropped. Wish I bad thought of this when children were small. Many became lost. In making orange shortcake put a part of the orange through a food- chopper and slice the rest—the short- cake will be delicious. In making doughnuts add banana to the nfilr and egg and cream all together. 1t gives a fine flavor and the doughnuts will keep fresh longer. If you are not partial to the shade of green the faucets have taken on since Mohegan Lake water was used, use & cloth’ dipped in ammonia A very little rubbing will remove the green and not remove the coating on the faucet as the rough celaners are apt to do. ~ Put these through food chopper for mecaroni; easier than grating and you get same result. 1 hang a cottolene pail full of water down my register as I have no recep- tacle on the furnace. I also keep a cottolene pall full of dusters sprinkled lightly with kero- sone; keep pail covered tight; dust- ers always ready, both for furniture and floor, and they do mot leave a streak as when wet. HELPMATE. THE LITTLE THINGS HELP. Dear Bditor and Sisters of the So- cial Cormer: —How we all enjoyed the bright, warm sunshine to which Feb- ruary treated us during the last few days! Why, it seemed to give us new life und energy! And not only did it #lve us a new love of life, but the out- door creatures seemed also to share our feeling. The puppy and the kitten Who for weeks had been content to eurl up on the hearthrug now prefer- red to frolic in the sunshine. Even the brave little robin and bluebird ven tured their winter hiding plac refoicing that winter was nearly over, To be sure, we know there are cold winds and perhaps storms waiting for us yet, but in the beautiful sunlight we ean look beyond these and see the smillng skles and gentle breezes of April. As I Jooked upon the sunshine I eould but feel how like sunshine to our heart life are the smiling counte- nance, the cheerful word and the kind doed. In times of trouble and dis- couragement , when our lives seemed enveloped in clouds, have we not met the smiling face with gentle word and kind deed which seemed suddenly to flood our lives with sunshine. These are little things, dear sisters, but they make sunshine which we oan all help to scatter. Things we all can give, and the giving will not im- poverish us, but will make our own life rich and those about us more happy. So let us have a care lest amid the hurry and anxiety of the busy vears of our lives our faces un- consciously assume a stérn, unpleas- ant expression, our volces become harsh and we thus scatter clouds ine stead of sushine. “Little words of kindness, Little deeds of love Make our earth an Eden Like to heaven above.” Colchester.

Favored by Three Organizations .of | To Be 3 Middletown. ‘The first active steps toward bring- ing about the commisgion form of gov- ernment for Middletown were taken ‘Wednesday night, says the Middletown Press, when the presidents of three local organizations met and talked the situzijon over. Those who met were the presidents of three local organiza- tions, John F. Convey of the 'Middle- town Business Men's association, Is- aac Spear of the Soclal Service league and Prof. Karl H. Harrington of the Twentieth Century club. 3 The object of the meeting was to ar- range for active work in ®ehalf of government by commission for Middle- town. Up to this time there has been no actual work done to bring this about. There have been a number of meetings of an educational character, so that most people are well versed in the principles of the commission form of government. The Twentieth Century Determined at Tri; Court at New Haven. The question of whether many of the rich oyster beds about New Haven are the property of the state or of private individuals—a dispute which has caused a long fight between the natural growth oystermen and the private owners—is to be decided by a suit which is to come up at April term of the superior court here, brought by Michael Hammond against Captain Rowley, says the New Haven Journal-Courier. The suit will be fought for Hammond by the state. This course was decided on by At- torney General Light as the result of a petition which was sent to him, bearing 1,500 names, asking that this be_done. It is claimed by the plaintiff, who while appeering as an Individual in this case, represents practically all of the natural growers, that the pri- vate owners have usurped many of Superior this world are people who have not much money, and they are the first, to respond. Those Wwho laugh first seldom laugh heartiest. Do your best, wherever Gedt puts you, and great will be your reward in heaven. - B. B A RECIPE FOR ICE CREAM. MARCH, MASS.

After & warm trial Hammond was finally dis- charged for lack of evidence. These particular grounds cover nearly a mile off Wilcox's pier and below Savin Rock. Captain Rowley claims to own at least 60 acres of this strip and it was on this section that E mond was oystering at the time he was ar- rested. The outcome of this case, which will probably be taken to the supreme court before it is definitely settled, will be awaited with great nterest, as it will mean the ousting of private owners from imany of ghe grounds in this section or the legalization of their claim. The suit is brought chiefly to dis- possess Rowley, but damages of $15,- 000 are also asked. NEW BANKING INSTITUTIONS. Applications Made for Charters for Many New Banks in This State. I the applications for charters for new banking institutions now pend- ing before the legislature are granted, there will be a substantial increase in the number of banks in this state. A list of the applications now in the hands of the committee on banks fol- lows: Ansonia—The Ansonia Trust com- pany. by the newspaprs. It was considered that the time for real action had come. H It was decidéd at the mesting Wed- nesday night that a committee of three be appointed from each of the organ- izations represented at the meeting by their presidents, in order that these nine men might continue the arrange- ments for bringing about a change in the form of the city government. The first real step will be the con- solidation of the town and city govern- ment and the doing away with the present cumbersome, unsatisfactory and expensive form of city and town control. It is thought the change can be brought about at this time with greater ease than at any previous time in the history of the city. One set of officers’ will replace the present double set, and a great saving made in the government of the city and town and a more efficient and respon- sible control of affairs secured. 'he. feeling in the Farms is very ditferent than it was ten or a dozen years ago, when consolidation was attempted. It is intended that politics shall have no place in the new government. The three committeemen will be ap- pointed at the next reglilar meetings of the organizations represented at the meeting Wednesday night.® VICTOR HERBERT. INVITED.

Household Hints. To remove tea ‘and coffes ldna stretch stained place over a bowl an pour boiling water through the stain. To remove Wwine or fruit stain, put a layer of salt on the stain as soon as made and treat with bolling water, the same as for stains. For paint stains, rub with turpen- tine or bensine, or, if very obstinate, they will be removed by touching with chloroform. Lamp chimneys rubbed with salt after washing gives them surprising brilliancy. Soak new brooms in strong, hot salt Water before using; this toughens the bristles and makes the broom last longer. Dusting—Much labor will be saved in dusting by using a damp duster, which will collect and hold the dust, instead of merely moving it from place to place. When the work is completed, wash the duster and so get rid_of the dust. CLARA. Canterbury. WON THE FOURTH PRIZE.

Trust com- tion of a statement which is reprinted in the news colmns of the Sentinel The association is also sending out coples of letters written by state sen- ators in which they pledged them- selves to stand by and work for a pub- lic utilities commission. According to the statement, 28 of the 35 state sen- ators pledged themselves, previous to election, in favor of a public_utilities law and commission, and the Business Men's association now takes the op- portunity, for some reason, to refresh their minds concerning their pre-elec- tion promises. $ This reason, in all probability, lies in the fact that President Mellen has Dbeen presenting his side of the story, which is being followed by sigms ot weakening among at least a few who, before their elections were sure, were outspoken in their views. Space for- bids of these individual letters, and we do not know that any- thing would be gained by doing so at this time. They may, however, prove very interesting reading after the pub- lie utilities vote ha# been taken. By means of these letters it will be pos sible to ascertain which senators stand firm.
