The agricultural experiment station of this state is a check to adulterated goods and the swindlers of the people no more feel at home here. ‘The Ansonia Sentinel says: “Thanks o the Connecticut agricultural exper- ment station, the good old times are past when over 90 per cent, of the sround coffee sold in the state was| adulterated.” It ig also a satisfaction | note that, according to a recent | bulletin from the state, “scandalously adulterated foods are not at all com- | mon In the state and inferior mixtures are generally so labeled that the houghtful reader of the label may <now what he is getting.” T'nder the present system of espion- age and analysis there is no reason vhy any resident of this state should get cheated. The price of liberty is vigilance; that is also the price of health- glving food. The man who carefully examines the label before he buys is not likely to get more benzoate of soda nto his stomach than is good for him.

Sebago lake, with its abundance of pure water, affords the regular supply of drinking water for the ¢ity of Port- land, and for all ships sailing from <here. A Portland, Me, man recently be- came thirsty in Liverpool for a drink of Sebago lake water, and he found it on a steamship at the dock whose tanks were filed just s she was leaving, Such a ship as this takes on board from 9,000 to 14,000 cubic feet of wuter, which takes the flow of a two-inch pipe for five days. To illustrate the large amount of water Portland has on hand, The Ex- press of the city says: “Speaking of Sebago water, probably few people realize just what a big body of water the lake is. It is claimed that if all source of supply should be stopped say today and Port- landgshould keep right on drawing off its regular quantities for one year, at the end of that time the surface of the lake would be but one inch lower than it is today. Under these condi tions, it would seem that we have tle reason to fear a water famine here in Portland.” EDITORIAL NOTES. Roosevelt's answer as surprising as you thought it was going to be?

Nothing gives more pleasure to little children than “really woolly” sheep, cut by pattern out of rather stiff card- board, and with wool or cotton batting pasted on both sides. With a little help the children can make them them- selves, and have flocks of sheep and lambs that will amuse them for hours at a time. For a pretty dresser cover take three efhbroidered handkerchiefs, sew a row of insertion around each one, then join them together and put a narrow lace around all; line with any preferred color of cambric, tacking at eaeh cor- ner so it can easily be removed for laundering. Place at each corner bow of ribbon the color of the lining. The latest fanoy for exploiting the bead is seen in the new vanity bags made entirely with beads a trifle larger than a haricot bean. The bags are lined inside with silk or brocade, and have the usual clasp top, while the outside is covered all over with beads, all of equal size. Beads form the loop handles and make a fringe at the lower A useful handkerchief case for the traveler is a bag made of crocheted silk. One advantage of the bag is that handkerchiefs of a moderate or a lav- ish number, according to the owner's needs, may be packed into It, and an- other that the bag occupies very little more room than a single handkerchief. The bag can be netted instead of being crocheted and is drawn together at the top by means of a ribbon run through the meshes of the work. PASTEBOARD PYRAMIDS. Quits the newest conceit in imported place favors has appeared from abroad in the form of miniature pasteboard pyramids. with tiny flowering plants seeming to have grown in them. The decoration of the holder simulates por- celain, with a color note to harmonize with that of the artificial blossoms sur- mounting it. A set of these favors in yellow, for instance, if in accord with the chosen coior scheme for the table setting, will give a far prettier effect than a favor introducing its color sol- idly. With these novelties there come tiny white place cards to be slipped among the flowers. FOR THE BEDROOM. Dainty bedroom accessories in the way of curtains, bedspread, bureau and dresser scarfs can be easily made at small cost of striped or checked ging- ham. Blue and white is & clean, to select. cool color For the bedspread use coarse white lace insertion about an inch and a haif wide to join the breadths together down the center and also to place at ihe heading of a ruffle eigh’ inches wide that is placed on each side and across the bottom of the spread. Shams for pillows are edged with narrow insertion and a four inch ruf- fle. For the bureau scarf use three twelve inch squares of gingham, joined and edged with insertion. The window cur fectly plain, excepting for across the end headed with insertion. A deep valance across the top is edged with a narrow ruffle also. With a blue and white cotton rug vn the floor this makes a most attractive room for a voung girl. Gingham is very inexpen- sive and launders beautifully. LENGTH OF SKIRT. Mothers are often perplexed to know just how long to make their children’s and girls' skirts. For the tot of 1 year old the little skirt must be cut to the top of the tiny shoes. At 18 meonths let the hem come half way between the shoe tops and the knee. When the third mile- stone has been pafsed let the skirt be shortened 5o as just to show the bend of the knee and keep this length until the little lady is 6 years old. The average child between the ages of 7 and 12 years should have her dresses cut long enough to cover the knee. At 13 add an inch or two to the length of the dress, and should she continue to develop, drop the skirt length to a point half way between he knee and ankl As she reaches 15 vears let the shoe comes to the f the shoe is correct. ! be tops top two inches above her 16 a skirt that bout FOR THE SEWING ROOM. A great convenience in a sewing room will be found in a clothes tree on which to hang unfinished garments. Not only will the garments keep fresh jooking while in work, but there will be an air of lidm(—ss about the room. FRINGES ON SUITS. | Fringe of almost any width is a note of the dressy spring suits. A white homespun has the jacket and skirt trimmed with a heavy twisted white silk fringe four inches in depth. SILK GLDVES { backs and wrists are the long silk gloves. Embroidered the thing in wecer——— ‘White gloves are embreidered not only in white but in black and -white and in colars, too, the celor scheme of the frock with which the gloves are worn being evident in the embroidery rather than the color of the glove itself. LARGE BUTTONS ON COATS. In sewing large buttons on coats, use a tiny flat button on ‘the wrong side of the garment. Sew through both buttons at once. There will be no danger of tearing the garment if the large button is given an extra strong pull, and practically no chance of the button becoming loosened and so lost. WHEN COOKING CAULIFLOWER. \ When next cooking a caulifiower, place it in the saucepan with the head downward. It will cook more guickly and the flavor will be improved as well. STAINS ON WCOL. To remove a stain from a woolen fabric, such as a blanket, cover the stain with a mixture of beaten volk of egg and glycerine in equal quantities. At the end of half or three-quarters of an hour wash out the mixture with warm water and a pure white soap- suds. WHEN MAKING GRAVY. To thicken gravies for pot roasts or stews, put a piece of brown bread in with the meat while it is cooking. ‘When ready to make the gravy, rub the bread up and use it for the thick- ening. Buckles on Gowns. The soft drapery of the new spring gowns is frequently confined with a triking buckle which holds the folds Jjust the right position. The buckle may be of metal or of the same mate- rial of the gown with some beading or handwork of other kind. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Windows rubbed once a week with a cloth dipped in alcohol will, ii be free from frest in the weather, colde An electric fan, set near the radi- ator and directly facing it, will throw currents of hot air about the room, quickly raising the temperature with- out increasing the amount of fuel used. Marks made by scratching matches on the wall can be readily removed by rubbing lightly with a piece of cut lemon, then with a cloth dipped in whiting and finally washed with warm water and soap. Never salt meat that is to be griil-| ed, as it hardens the fibers of the meat and tends to extract the juices, sug- gests a woman of experience. Salt on the platter just before sending to the table. No meat should be salted un- cooked, but after the surface has been seared and the meat is partly cooked. Many housekeepers do not know that there is a simple way to prevent pota- toes from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot. An inverted pie pan placed in the bottom of the pot avoids | scorching potatoes. The water and empty space beneath the pan save the potatoes. This, also makes the work of | cleaning pots easfer, as no adhering parts of potatoes are left to be scour- ed out. DICTATES OF FASHION. Bow knots appear as corsage knots. as earrings an\l Grays in all shades and tints are highly in favor this season, both in the province of the tailored suit and the more dressy costumes for afternoon | and evening wear. Black millin is extremely fashion- able for children.
