b &, l‘ ¥ # S w <. ) . 4 ¥ Wi ~ the 1 | i i m I pupers of Boston are calling the drivers of automobiles in streets of that city to drive their touring cars with, more care. Last week Monday a child W killed there, on Tuesday another w fatally injured; and on Wednesday & woman was knocked down and died ®oon after reaching the hospital. The pedestrian who does mnot look Defore he steps into the street is far 100 common; and in these times small children should not be left to stroll fthe strests and caper across the thoroughfares. It is up to everybody 10 keep a sharp lookout for approach- ing motor carriages. Speaking of these three accidents ke Post, of Boston, say: “3 1s probable that in not ome of the theee instances referred to.was the,mutomobile driven at high speed or with recklessness. The thought- less acts of children brought death in twowcases. But 50 long as children run in the streets and the aged are com- pelled to watk acsoss them, the duty of extreme caution on the pass, ot sutomobile drivess is impera RECIPROCITY AND EGGS. _ The western farmers do not think the removal of the duty of five cents ' & dozen from eges because of the reci- Procity treaty with Canada Will have . such an effect upon the poultry busi- ness as some of our nervous citizens wpprehend.

We send the Canadians a milion dozen eggs in the same peri- od and pay a three-cent Guty to ‘the five cents charged on eggs from Can- ada. Last January, while the whole- sale price in Vermont averaged 27 cents for every dozen eggs, the price in Montreal was 35 cents. It was 36 cents in Buffalo and 40 cents in To- zonte. Prices ran from 26 to 30 cents in Mfme and 33 cents in New Bruns- Wik " There dossn’t appear to be anything 10 vlew with serfous alarm in these figures so far ag Americans are con- cerned. ‘The other side may find oc- casion to kick. NOT THE RIGHT COMBINATION, Starting new apple orchards is the fad today, and a Windham county farmer who Jid not have any land et meadow land which he could af- ford to devote to this object, inquired of the Connecticut Farmer why. he couldn't plant apples in the meadow and grow hay as'before.

It appears strange that in the state of Massachusetts a law requiring the voluntary flying of the flag is not enough and that after years of trial and abuse, & bill has been reported in the senate to compel the display of the United States flag on school- houses and to provide that failure for five consecutive days shall subfect the master or principal of a school to a fine of $5 for each period of five days of such negligence, unless it is caused by the school committee not proyiding the principal with a flag, in which case the penalty shall be imposed: on the one directly responsible lor there being no flag. ‘This is‘ regarded by the leading Ppapers as unnecessary, since the an- thority of the school board ought to be sufficient to enforce such a rule. The Fall River News remarks: “The frequency of the raising of the banner would have bred indifference; the ceremony would have meant noth- ing more than a part of the day’s routine, such as opening the school- house door or ringing the school bell The sentiment which inspires meas- ures of this kind may ‘be a laudable one, but it overreaches itself in jts en- thusiasm in this instance.” SHIPBUILDING IN AMERICA. During 1910, the United States bullt more ships than any country ‘in the world except Great Britain. The ton- nage of new vessels, which in¢lude those .on inland waters, was 331,318 tons. It is -interesting to mote that Germany built less than half this ton- nage, or 159,000 tons; France, $0,000 tons; Holland, 70,000 tons; . Japan, 30,000 tons. The total output of the world during the year, exclusive of) warships, was 1,957,853 tons, an in- crease of nearly one-half a millon tons over the previous year. Sailin vessels appear to be rapidly passing. since but 100,000 tons of this enor. mous total - comprise sailing vessels Pragtically the entire tonnage launch- ed has been of'steel. The British ton- nage afloat today is about 20,000,000 tons, and that of the United States about 8,000,000, Germany ranks third in ‘this list With about 4,500,000 tons. The output of war vessels has been slightly below that of the previous vear, although nearly one hundred war ships were completed. It is interesting ‘to note that while the American flag is seldom in avidence on the high seas the enormous volume of shipping among the coast and inland waters serves to place America in the second place among the nations.

Always keep a dish of crackers in your warming oven and you'll never bave soft, tasteless crackers. When polishing the stove add a lit- +le sugar or syrup to polish and it will mot burn off g0 quickl.

A nice relish with fish is raw cab- bage cut very fine and covered with French dressing beaten almost to an emulsion. The mica windows of coal stoves can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in vinegar and water. This should be done when putting ithe stove up. A small pinch of carbonate of soda in the water in which cabbages are boiled preserves the color of the vege- table and lessens the unpleasant odor while cooking. "JAPANESE PERFUMES. Delicate . Fragrance of Many Blos- soms Pleases Fastidious Women. “Perfumes of Araby” are no longer the height af sweetness in the eyes of women, for it-is from the land of the cherry 'blossoms that the newest and daintiest scents now come—perfumes 80 deticate in their sweetness that they are ‘a suggestion rather than a scent, and with enoush individuality to them to please even the most fastidious of women, who have wearied of plain violet and the heavy perfumes from France which were in vogue last year. There is the Japanese lily per- fume, exhaling a delicious fragrance reminiscent: of guaint Japanese gar- dens far awav, and lotus flower water, iwhich is another novelty of the year. The “enticing odor of the Japanese violst, very different from our own modest * flower, vies in _popularity among, exclusive women now with that of the Japanese clover, which is more pungent and Jasting longer than the former perfume, In selecting a perfume it must be remembered that to make jts delicacy appreciated soap, sachet” and scent must all have the same fragrance, and as little as possible must be used. A decided perfume of any kind ho ering over a woman, or leaving a trail of odor behind her is mot only bad form, but is repuisive rather than at- tractive. A whiff of fragrance, a sug- gestion of flowers rather than any scent is the thing to be desired. shing Touch to New Coats. Some of the smartest tailormades lately seen in a fashionable shop were Lace Gives Fi finished on the collar and cuffs with a tich Venetian point lace. With these were shown the wrist frill, which is a pretty new style. These iong plaited lace or met frills are; worn only with the very tight coat sleeve and are sometimes 50 long that they fail over the tips of the fingers. Not very practical, perhaps, but emi- nently dainty detail of the. toilette and one which deserves to be revived from time to time. New Neckwear. The fascinating fichus and collars shown in the spring and summer mod- els are capable of many novel develop- ments, and while the broad rounding collar is the newest, the corded outlin- ing in the fichus is one of the many new ideas and ways in which these charmipg dress accessories may be made Child’s One-Pisce Neck Aprons.

Tailored coats continue to be cut on loose, straight lines, and are of length best fitted to the figure; generally they, end just below thie hips, or half length. A pleasing variety s seen in the length of the small sleeves and the shape of collars and revers. Attractive hats are offered in sport- ing shapes. There is a charming mod- el with a broad brim and round crown placed in natural Java straw and cov- erad smoothly with French iinen in old blue, white, brown and lavender. The hat is absolutely plain, with only a tiny rose for the band. Nothing could be smarter for out of door wear than “this model.

This year the Alabone pear] is ex- pocted to have a great vogue. It some- ‘what resembles mother of pearl, though darker in tone, and.ls made up into rings, brooches and extremly pretty pendants, the mounting being of sterl- ing silver in a dull finish. “Helen” coral is .angther noveity. Sprigs of coral.in varlous shades are made into broocHes and other. orna- ments, the settings entirely invisible, consequently the effect is wery light and pretty The:long veil pins of coral are also loyely. ‘White stones combined with artifi- cial pearls are beautiful. The white stones “are not rhinestones, but are quite distinct and bear the same bril- Hancy, in fact, as the real stone. Easter Baskets. The daintiest of fine willow baskets in_ unusual shapes and with very graceful handles are shown in some of the shops. These baskets have a touch of gold around the edge and on the handle, which gives them a distinctive air. With its offering of fruit, flow-{ ers or eggs, one of these baskets uld not fail to delight.
