Taylor in Opening Series. Thursday evening in theFirst Con- gregational church, Rev. E. O. Taylor, M.A, D.D, of Boston, one of the founders, a director, and the field sec- retary of the Scientific Temperance federation, that is. the American branch of the International Bureau of Research, and who is also the special scientific lctturer of the National Tem- perance society of New York, gave the first of a series of three discussions upon the temperance problem that he will deliver befpre leaving the city. The points emphasized s Dr. Taylor {rere plain and clear, and of interest o all present. One of the most striking facts brought out was the amount of alco- hol contained in a pint of beer. The sum is sufficient to furnish fuel for a flame that shed a light through the auditorium of the church for a period | of ten minute Dr. Taylor is an an- alytical chemist of recognized ability and his illustrated points, therefore, were the more forcible, being the re- sults of. personal investigations. The aiterdance was most gratifying to the local branch of the Women's Chris- tian Temperance union, under whose | auspices Mr. Taylor is brought to this ; city. This (Friday) evening he will scuss his subject at the Methodist church. Sunday evening he will speak at a union service of all the Protest- ant churches in the city in the town hall.

The 20th annual convention and pa- triotic reunion of the French-Ameri- cans of Connecticut was held at St. day. About 200 delegates were pres- ent, including several French-Canadian clergymen. Attended Mass. The delegates assembled at St. Ed- ward’s hall Wednesday morning at 8.30 and at 9 o’clock, escorted by the Citi- zens’ band, marched to St. Edward's church, where they attended a solemn high mass. Rev. C. F. Bedard of Hart- ford, chaplain of the convention, was | celebrant; Rev. Felix J. O'Neill of Staf- ford Springs, deacon; Rev. John C.| Matthieu of Moosup, sub-deacon, and Rev. J. J. Papillon of Willimantic,mas- ter of ceremonies. 'Miss Jane Clark of Collinsville presided at the organ. The singing was plain chant by a number of the delegates. Eloguent Sermon. | The sermon, which was in French, | was preached by Rev. J. C. Matthieu. He referred to the necessity of unity in all organizations, and dwelt on the unity of faith which existed ‘in the Catholic churches in the various na- | tions of the world. He said that such unity should exist in all human or- ganizations, and that it is best effect- ed by preserving the mother tongue. The preacher urged all his hearers of French extraction to guard well the language of their fathers as a precious infheritance calculated to effect greafer loyalty toward faith and patriotism. Beautiful Decorations. The church was beautifully decorat- cd with flowers and potted plants. The hall was adorned with red, white and blue bunting, the American flag being conspicuous. The flowers arranged on the stage in front of the speaker | were very effective. After the services at the church the delegates reassembled at the hall and | the convention.was formally opened by the pregident, Pierre Robvert of Stafford Springs. Welcomed by Warden. A letter from J. Alan Mix, warden of the borough, was read, regretting his inability to be present, also giving the delegates a hearty welcome and grant- ing them the freedom of the borough during their visit. Election of Officers. After a short recess for luncheon, the afternoon session was called to order, when the election of officers took place, | as printed in yesterday’s Bulletin, Marched to the Hall. The delegates went to dinner at the the band, paraded up Main and Church Redfire was freely ‘burned on the line of march, and there was evidence that the kindness of Warden Mix in turning the keys of the borough over to the visitors was ap- preciated. At the evening session, which was largely social, the hall was crowded,al- most every person of French extrac- tion in town being present, as well as many who were not of that nationality. There was vocal and instrumental music, Woods’ orchestra being engaged for the evening. Brief addresses were given by Attorney Eugene L. Jolbert of Woonsocke, and [Mr. Boneau of Biddeford, Me. Closing Session. The delegates met at the hall Thurs- day and concluded the routine work of the convention, The Way to Bake Beans. To make baked beans soak one and one-half pints smail white beans over- might in soft water. In the morning drain and parbeil, but not eneugh to ecrush the beans. Place in the botiom of a bean pot several slices of bacon (salt or fresh pork), them put in about half the beans, over which sprinkle salt, a heaping speonful ef brown sug- ar or New Orleans molasses, then more slices of the bacon. Over this place the rest of the beans, with the salt, sugar or molasses and bacom on topn. Cover with soft water and bake at least eight hours, though they are bet- ter if baked all day. Add soft water as needed. The High Hatbhox. If you keep your hatbox on a high shelf in & closet you may find the fol- lowing suggestion worth trying: Stit open the two upright edges of one side of the hatbox, so that when the cover is raised thts side will drop down as If on hinges. Thkis will allow you to re- move or replace the hat witheut taking the box from the sheif.—Harper's. | elers in search of raw material. GOLD FOR JEWELERS. Most of the Raw Material Is Bought From the Government. ‘Jewelers derive their gold supply from various sources, such as old jew- elry, banks and refineries, but the greater part of the raw gold used by the manufacturer comes from the gov- ernment. From the refiner the gold comes to the factory in the form of buttons or granules. The refineries employ the waste of the jewelry shops and by burning off the material portions and subjecting the result to certain proc- esses recover much gold that other- wise would be lost to the trade. For many years there was a steady drain on the gold coin in circulation, caused by the use of the coin by jew- The fact that our government turned out a coin that after passing through the assay office was of twenty-two carat fineness, only two grains below the pure gold standard, and had also bean worked over, the silver and copper forming the alloy having been mixed thoroughly in the gold before the coin was minted, made the gold coin par- ticularly attractive to the jeweler. The manufagturer experienced no trou- ble when the gold coin was used, im- asmuch as the alloy alwags had been combined with the metal, and all that was necessary for the commercial utilization of the coin was to alloy it sufficiently to bring the gold down to the point required; also, from the jew- el viewpoint, a lot of time and dif- culty was saved, inasmueh as this scheme did away with much bookkeep- ing and rendered unnecessary the ty- ing up of censiderable amounts of money in the purchase of raw mate- rial to be held as stock. Later, how- ever, the government made up the pure gold in brick er bar form, and it is In that shape the greater bulk of the supply is now derived. Thousands of dollars pass between the banks and the manufacturing jew- elers every year in the forms of bars of gold, the banks bandling these for the benefit of their clients. The bricks vary in value according to weight from §200 to $500 and come with the gov- ernment assay office siamp as a guar- antee of purity and fineness,.—New York Press. STANDARD MEASURES. The Old Bucket and the Half Bushel Basket Were Atiice. Farmer Giles had heard rumors of the short weight scandal; but, as for himself, he was homest in thought, word and deed. He was naturally in- censed when amn appie buyexr frem the city ebjected to his half bushel meas- ure. “P've used that red bucket five yesrs,” ke said, “and I kmow it’s correet.” “A dozen years’ use wouldn't affect its correctness,” was the reply. “Have you any other reason for thimking it i correct?’ The farmer contrelled his anger and after & moment’s thought led his critic to the corncrib and sbowed him a basket wovem from bickory splits. “That measure twice full fills this” he said. “And this holds exactly a bushel.” “How do yeu know it does?” “Because Bill Sullivan made it, as be makes baskeis for everybody, and be said it was a2 bushel.” Still the man was not satisfied. They went to interview Bill. “Why, of ecourse,” said the basket maker, “I weave every one of them of ah exact size. 1 make ouly eme pattern basket #o hoifl a bushel.” “But how do you know the patterm holds a bushel?” “How do I knmow? I'm sure ef it. I made it originally to hold two of this half bushel basket.” “And this haif bushel basket?’ Bill frowned and pulled his bair in an effert to remember. Then his face brightened. ~ “Why, yes,” he said, ‘T'm sure of ft. I tried it one time, Giles, by that old red bucket measure of yours! — Youth's Companion. ‘Do You Need Printing P 35-6 The BULLETIN Co. 64-66 Franklin Street
