CIRCULATION D01, EVErnge ...ievcccocvnas. hdld THE DYNAMITE CASE. ‘When the jury which has been hear- {ng the famous dynamite case in which | forty defendants were concerned, | brought in its verdict of guilty against thirty-eight of them, it was a verdict suth as was looked for in accordance with the evidence. It was a verdict which should have its lesson in re- gatd to conspiracy and the use of ex- plasives to break down and destroy the | property and rights of others, and the usé of the influence of a large na- tlodwide organization to carry out purpose, unbeknown and without | thé consent of the membership. La-; ons. Rt is possible to turn the good in-| fludnce of a labor organization to great | Batm unless there is the proper regud { for law and order. The trials with these which preceded them have shown | @otermiuation on the part of the ac- | to force thelr contention regard- | the limits to which they went, property was too valuable and or number of lives stood in the carrying out their policy. These are not representative of the r of the union men who as a are to be numbered among the and upright citizens. The relgn which they conducted is not: with the belief of the file, but deing in power they up a gigantic scheme with hor- results. These men will be pun- but the need is that such men be kept from office in the future. TURKEY'S DEMANDS. Turkey has not sent representatives to the peace conference with any in- temtion of sitting back calmly and let- ting the pthers arrange the deal. It ‘would almost .seem that she considers she i8 doing the Balkan states a fa-| wor by consenting to listen to their In the counter proposition Ottoman empire makes demands | Wwill never be acceded to, and there are some of the demands made Wy the Balkan states which will have %o bé modified, and were doubtless drawn with that intention. Now that the allies and the Turks each know the demands of the other, the real hard battle of diplomacy must be fought. Turkey's proposition is that, not of a defeated enemy, but of oné which recognizes its shortcomings and agrees to overcome them in European Turkey, even though it has taken the severs drubbing to even bring that about. There is a territory a trifle larger than New England, or nearly eight times as large as Connecticut which will doubtlsss go under the knife. Bulgaria will get a large slice, Ser- via and Montenegro will likewise be| the galners by smaller acquisitions but possidbly enough to double their ter- ritory while Greece will extend her Soundary porthward and likely gain| gomo isiand concessions. Turkey will) Constantinople and a portion | +he sountry to the east of the Teha. | Yo fortifications, but as for the re. fention of its present territory even under an avtonomous rule, the allles| will not listen to any such proposition. | Torkey is in no position to dictate sny such terms and her bold front is indicative of the plan to get the best results under adverss circumstances, ‘whea the division comes.

New York is suffering from too much law in relation lo the dangerous prac- tice of drunken men operating auto- mobiles in the streets. The Callan law- was supposed to have been passed for the purpose of giving the public some protection, but its provisions are Insufficient and really benetit of the chauffeur, so that it is, as it stands and as interpreted by the courts, a piece of legislation which it would have been better had it not been enacted. provision for the proper punishment of the accused and when fines are im- posed, no provision is made for the collection of such, o that if the chauf- feur clalms he has been drinking and runs over and injures a person or causes no end of trouble by his actions in driving a machine, he can go if he is unable to pay the fine, When it is realized that an auto un- der the guidance of an intoxicated per- | son is about as dangerous a user of | the streets as could be imagined. and | as uncertain as a runaway horse, it is apparent that the Callan law needs attention immediately in order to change it from a useless to a useful | framed | like many othePs without proper con- instrument. It was evidently sideration and are missing. number of accidents which are con- | important provisions tinually happening an amendment to ' the law should be given immediate at- tention by the legislature when it con- venes. Because of the apparent con- dition and the deploring of it by judges auto associations and the public early | action Is demanded. PARCELS POST. It 18 with the anticipation of plenty of work that the post office employes will greet the opening of the parcels | post the first of the vear. It is the greatest step of its kind ever taken | in this or any other country and the| setting of this great service in motion oveér the entire country at the same time Is a huge task, which may have a slow beginning but is bound to de- velop despite the many new features with which the patrons must get ac- quainted. Among the many complications ine cluding rates, zones and articles, the New York Tribune well says that “It should be borne in mind that only fourth class matter can be sent by parcels post, the rules for first, second and thitd class remaining unchanged; but the | be so amplified as to include many things which have hitherto been un- mailable. It must be remembered, too, that ordinary stamps will net be ac- cepted on parcels; the parcels post service must be pro- cured and used. In this city parcels i cannot be mailed in letter or news- paper boxes, or even at the sub-sta- tlons In drug stores, but only at the| general post office and its various | branches. Another provision is that ! all parcels must bear the address of the sender. As for the rates of post- age, they are determined by a com- i plex zone system, so that at first, at least, shippers will do well to ascer-| tain from the post office authoritles | what they are to pa! The use of the service is going to be the greatest educator in regard to | its complexities. Famillarity thereby with #ts provisions will soon get the patrons as well as the post office em- ployes thoroughly posted. It has great promise for the future. EDITORIAL NOTES. It is time to begin practicing om 1913. The Sherman anti-trust law is now ! being invoked in céreal form. Happy thought for today: Barbers never make use of safety razors for Christmas presents. The harvest season for most of the crops is over, but the reaping of the. calendars is now in full swm‘ President Wiison is tumred as talk- | ing money in bed.

They also keep away friends. Like shopping, leap year proposals should come early, but if it wasn't convenient there remain two days, and | it is better laté than never. The action of Cupid in that euf- frage hike to Albany is go'ng to have a good effect on securing recruits for the march to Washington. trade suffers. Thanks to efficient rev- enue cutter service they get excel- lent attention when in distress. A New York youth clalms that he cannot help stealing because of a mouse birthmark on his leg. He should carry a cat with him and keep off the hoodoo. With the grand list of the state over a billlon dollars, thers will be 8o much larger raturns from the hall mill state | tax which I8 recormmended and can be expected. Boston {s to have a monster new drydock 1,000 feet long. That is an indication which points to no uncer- | tain deveiopments of tha England port. big New New York can afford to carry the reform movement into the usual New Year's eve demonstrations. It is time for a safe and sane New Year's eve as well as the Fourth of July. It is nothing new for Virginia to have one of her sons elected to the presidency and they are showing by the reception to Woodrow Wilson that they haven't forgotten how to recog- nize it ‘When the Bervian minister declares ; | Turkey must pay the costs of the war | hs must recollect that Servia, Bul-| garia, Montenegro aad Greece must pay heavily in ilves for whish they fiever san ba reimbursed, When It u polmrd out W.ut Prea- | fdent Faft's attitnde in regard to the Mesican guestion has been ne pm‘L— lcal advaatage to & high gompilmont, i{o ney pldcved & policielan bue a ¥ justice, AT PRLIION The warning given to the Amcrican Poy at the session 0f the New York educationai societies that he must give op¢ attention La his bogks and npt to | s i he is to hold his owg With ke fopelgn lads, needs to be , The sons of foreign parents Shem to prize more highly the advan- tages which are ofiered thewm ané make the most of those which will AR them the most good. operate to the | It has failed to make ! efinition of fourth class will | special stamps for | Woman in Life and in the Kitchen | SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

To roast blanched shelled almonds put them in a bowl and thoroughly mix two tablespoonfuls of olive oil and a tablespoonful of dry salt for every pound of nuts with them. Then place them in a greased paper bag, tie It at the top and roast them for ten min- utes, shaking occasionally. OLD TIME BRACELETS. If you have an old fashioned black onyx arm band set with pearls, wear it. It is again fashionable. A large band looks smaller below a black bracelet, and one woman with irather red hands wears an inch wide band velvet around each wrist, for which she has jeweled clasps, changed | to match her gowns. Sometimes these velvet bracelets are iset with large diamond or pearl but- tons or pinned with a cameo or a seed pearl brooch. A fashionable series of bracelets {that can be had in French jewelry-is {made of thin hoops studded with col- ored stones. An emerald hoop, a dia- mond, a ruby and a pearl one are worn together. % TO COLOR LACE. Lace may be gnen a yellowish or {ivory tint by letting it lie for a snort time in water to which has been added a little powdered saffron. If you wish {to freshen the lace trimmings of an |evening dress, touch up the design | with color, gold, for instance, which gives a beautiful effect if done lightly. { Other colors in light shades are also very effective on fine gelicate laces. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. There is nothing that so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot ,;vhen applied promptly and thorough- y. To soften the hands, make a lotion of 10 cents’ worth of bay rum, cents' worth of glycerine, § cents’ worth of aleohol and § cents’ worth of quince seed. | For nafls that are very brittle and break in the trimming, hold the tips ;of the fingers for a few minutes in {warm olive oil, manicure with a pair of very sharp scissors. Flesh color is the best powder tint ifor most complexions. A plain rice powder can be bought for 25 cents a box. It is generally pure and sticks {to the skin better than ordinary tal- jcum powder. A prominent physiclan claims that there will be no diphtheria, scarlet | taver or worms for children if they eat water | 15 | 4 takes a long time to cook, in & paper | i plentifully of onions every day, espe- ' ¢lally when there Is a scarcity of fresh fruit. Thers are many causes for sleepless- {ness. Overioaded stomach or an empty one. If the former, eat less. If i have a craving for food before retiring leat a little plain lettuce or take a glass of warm milk. A hot water bag on the stomach or at the feet will draw the blood from the head and in- duce sleep. Try to forget all the trials of the day when you retire. An over- taxed brain and nerves will drive all sleep away for hours, but can often be overcome by the hot water bag. PICTURE FROCKS.

Plant crowns of ferns must be kept well above the soil, and never pushed beneath it, else they will be apt to rot away. Give ferns northern light in preference to a southern exposure. In the middle of winter the right temperature for ferns should be about 65 degrees, rising to not over 70, until the seasons change. Keep the soil of ferns always damp, but do not let it get sodden. Very wet soil soon becomes sour. Keep the fol- iage dry, letting the plant drink through the roots. Water for ferns should not be cold. Do not put ten- der ferns outside in the in; if you do, their fronds will be boaten down.' Maidenhair fern requires more care than al other ferns. Give it plenty of moisture and abundant watering, for once its soil becames dry fronds shrivel up quickly. Sterli leaf mold makes an excellent potting soil. The maidenhalr fern will thrive best in fern cases. You need not hope to succeed with maidenhair ferns in- doors if the room is lighted by gas. Boston fern is a variety of sword fern that is robust, a quick and grace- full grower and very durable. It will stand changes In temperature and also gas, which more delicate ferns will not do. The Boston fern is good for plac- ing on a stand by itself, in a jardin- jere or during its first growth, in the window. i NEEDLEWORK NOTES.
