It is indicated by some of the sen- timent which is being expressed in Washington during the congressional recess that the policy of the adminis- tratlon ss voiced by the president in his message, concerning the develop- ment of Alaska may have somewhat hard sledding. It is apparent that Alaska needs just has been ocontemplated. It for its own betterment and it for increasing the contributions can make to this country in the w. of marketing its resources. Towards | the president has a strong leaning he fully realizes that it must be | done with a full understanding of what is being attempted and that it must be properly administered to obtain re- sults. Just what effect the question of ex- ense is zolng to have upon the ulti- outcome of the Alaskan railroad is problematical. This is the ob- acie over which many of the demo- ats are already declaring their op- position to the idea and it is one which is calculated to have powerful | influence upon the legislation at this rticular stage of the administration, ~t Alaska wait has been advocated a long period even after the need taking some steps for the relief that northern possession has been recognized. The president has thus far shown that he is In control at Wash- | ington and it Is possible even though opposition s manifested in advance that it will result much the same as @d the currency legislation against which many of the democrats were aligned in the early stages. such assistance as needs needs it NEW YORK GRAFT. The revelations which have been made and those which are continually cropping out concerning the graft nsed in connection with state departments and contracts places greater respon- sibility than ever upon the governor of New York state and the method which he has adopted for the running down of the same. It calls for prompt and effectual stamping out of this practice in the quickest possible man- mer. Tt Is not a question where it 1 hit. It should hit each and every- who is concerned therein, wh ever he may be. When it is declared that canal worl ers were forced to make contributions to political campaign funds and that! such contributions represented assess- ments upon all the workmen within the territory for a period of five months and were upon a basis of five per cent. of their salary, it is time for giving the question of graft more than pa ing notice. The workingmen are bound to feel as mu 1y the pernicious praetice of grafti when it is al- lowed to be carried on so boldly that| one workmen's pay is reduced to contri- bute to the illegal toll It calls for immediate suppressio Graft never should be eountenanced in any form It is against the foundation of good | government and when Governor Glynn | declares that he will not be the tool| of any party or organization he takes a position which should give him an opportunity for plenty of work and| ss he obtains results the Whitman incident is bound to operate to his everlasting discredit. LIFE SAVING SERVICE. in hand with the magnificent service which is rendered to ships in distress by the revenue cutter service goes the herolc assistance to ship- wrecked sailors and others whose lives are in danger from the sea. It is a department wherein the men are con- stantly on the watch for opportunities to lend a hand. Tt has great respon- sibility and it is this vigilance which makes it so valuable when occasion for service presents itsel The life saving service is main- tained at a yearly expense to the gov- ernment of $2,204,000, but when it is reslized that during the past year it was instrumental in saving vessels and cargoes to the value of fourteen mil- lion dollars and that out of the 1743 casualties of the sea only 69 veasels were totally lost, it 1= made apparent that no government expenditure waa more wisely used. This does not in- clude the lives which were saved which among swimmers and bathers alone numbered over one hundred, while from wrecked vessels thousands were rescued who might otherwise have per- ished. The service of life saving Is invaluable while in property many and exhaustive reports which are printed and forgotten. If commis- | sions are #0 be named it should be times the cost of the service is saved each yvear, This is one of the directions in which the government is engaged in the mest commendable kind of humanitarian service, and the exceilent results ob- tained ‘indicate how fuily the obliga- in the masterly response which they make, It is difficult to imagine where the money could be better spent. REFRESHING CHANGE. The city of Chicago is open to con- gratwvlation It recently received a black eve when the school board drop- ped Mrs. B, F. Young as superintendent of schools during a brief return to the spoils system but it is to the credit of Its mayor that the glaring error was recognized and immediate steps taken to overcome this temporary evi- dence of a willingness to sacrifice effi- ciency and non-partisanship in school matters. The action means the plac- ing of schocls before party politics and is one of the strongest bits of evidence that such is the demand of the peo- ple of that city. It was a high handed act on the part of the appointees of | the mayor to vote against the excellent | basis upon which the schools of that city had been placed under the guid- ance of Mrs. Young. With her the interests and welfare of the schools came first and her going meant the greatest loss to the ci Fer return tc.the office from which she was for a brief time removed,.is direct compliment to the methods a which she has adopted and the im-| provements which has made in the chool system. This is one of the most important departments in every city government. It must bé administered iently and when such service is rendered it deserves ist such insistent backing as that which has been given to the work of the Chicaga superintendent. No city can afford to take a backward step in this im- Do office, but is its duty to| stan that which is for the best in- terests and future welfare. Tt is a re- freshing and graf ange from stooping to spoils USELESS INVESTIGATIONS. Tt isn’'t surprising Yhat the idea of e ations and inquiries by com- ssions fail to inspire the amount confidence which they should, when the a on which is paid to them ind their results are considered. Too frequently are matters referred to com- | missions from which there are no ben- eficial results. Tt is a practice which s been followed h outcomes which too frequently e the impres- sion that when it i to let a| matter down easy it is referred to a| commission. | The advisability of = asking itself these questions before launching upon more such investigations is urged upon congzress by the Washington Post: “How much of the people’s money is being spent in investigations? Where does this money go, and what benefit results? “How much time and money have these investigations cost individuals, and how much property has been de- stroved indirectly? “What is the motive hehind each in- igation? Whe profits by it in self- ing or otherwise?

A teaspoonful of turpentine boiled with your white clothes will greatly aid the whitening process. If moths have attacked a carpet, work powdered borax into the carpet wherever there is a sign of the in- sects. When using oil for frying the olly taste can be taken away by making the eil very hot, and then fry a piece of onion in it. When brown take it out. Vinegar in which home made cu- cumber pickles have been preserved should not be thrown away, but used in salad dressing. The flavor is de- liclous and cannot be galmed in any other way. To have boiled potatoes fluffy, pour the water off when they are done, then let them stand in the dish they were cooked in on the back of the stove for a few minutes, giving them an occa- sional shake. ‘When you are boiling rice, take care not to throw away the water. Strain it into a bowl and you will find it makes a most excellent starch. This starch may be used either hot or cold. Two or three drops of turpentine are an improvement. SICK GEMS. “The discoloration of precious stones when they have been exposed to the air for a long time, is considered one of the most frequent maladies,” says a well known jeweler. ‘“Among the colored stones "emeralds, rubies and sapphires are those which remain in- tact best. Nevertheless, they are not | exempt from changes, as has been proved by many experiments recently made in Paris. “Two rudies of the same size and shade were kept for two years, one in a showcase and the other away from all light. At the end of this term a compar become somewhat lighter in color. “The influence of light makes itself felt more plainly on topazes and garnets. The garnet turns much paler in a short time, while the topaz assumes a darker shade, and even loses the brilliancy possessed by it when freshly cut. £ “The most sensitive stone in this respect is the opal. This stone draw numerous little clefts which allow the light to pass, and reflect it in different directions. Often the opal stanas the manipulations of cutting and polish- i ing well, and all of a sudden it splits. It suffers always Dy excess of heat. Owing to its chemical composition, it is sensitive to all the changes of tem- perature. “Pearls deteriorate very easily. In the fire they are transformed into a piece of lime. an acid, they behave as lime or marble would under the same conditions.” SAVES TIME. Time may be saved in making French dressing if it is mixed in a bottle instead of a dish. Put into the bottle three parts of oil and one part vinegar; season with salt and pepper, put the cork in the bottle and shake it hard. This method is not alone a time saver, but the bottle serves better than a dish as a receptacle for keeping the dressing in the icebox. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Only distilled water should be used as an eye wash, and nearly all oculists decry salt bath for the eyes. Salt baths tone the skin, ana one- fourth teaspoonful taken in a glass of water every morning for a week will certainly clear a muddy complexion. Nine persons out of every ten live and die without ever using their full lung capacit: Long, deep breaths through the nose is the correct method. This not only warms the air before it enters the lungs, but the tiny hairs in the nostrils keep out impurities. Discolored finger nails can be cleaned if you dissolve a_teaspoonful of powd- ered borax in half a pint of hot water and soak them in this. Then dip a plece of lemon in fuller'’s earth and rub them with it. Polish with bees- wax as above. In two or three days ‘the discoloration will have gone. Form paper rolls a little thicker than lead pencils, making them with news- paper, and roll the little girl's hair on them.” Turn back the points, pin; and when the curls are taken down, tear off one end of the paper roll and gently draw the curler out. Do ngt dampen the hair, but dampen first the comb, draw it through the hair and enough-| dampness will insure the hair curled in almost one hour. Where the hair is dampened, then combed, it takes a half day or more to dry out. Deep breathing is just a habit, to be acquired after deliberate and sustained practice until it becomes natural. The results are better health, a purer blood less liability to germ attacks, a bet- ter color in the face and brighte: eyes. with expensive fees always stipulate for deep nasal breath- ing. It is a beauty bringer. Suc- cessful athletes, men or women, are all deep breathe That valued “second wind” is only the unused portion of the lungs being, under stress brought into use. TO WASH GLOVES. To wash doeskin gloves, prepare lukewarm soapsuds (any pure soap will do), and add a few drops of am- monia and glycerin. Rinse the gloves in two or three waters, adding the few drops of gl B! not the ammonia each time. Take as much of the moist- ure out of them as possible with a clean, white cloth and hang to dry. ‘When they are nearly dry draw them over the hands and rub them with a clean cloth until dry. Kid gloves are placed in a small bowl completely covered with benzine or gasoline, and allowed to soak for sev- eral minutes. They are then taken out one at a time and rubbed with a clean cloth until dry. Most attention should be given the finger tips. White linen gloves are washed in lukewarm soapy water to which a lit- tle borax has been added. They are then rinsed in clear water. BOAS. Boas are agin bein gworn in Paris. Ostrich boas lead. They are very short, and to be chic must be worn to the neck. Never are they allowed to slip back upon the shoulders. They fasten at one side, With two short ends of the boa falling one below the other. FASHION'S LATEST MANDATES. Opera. bags of moire are set into oval frames. Colored edging is a finish to some of the net ruffies which mark the new lingerte. Separate skirts are finished at the ‘walst line with sashes of soft ribbon wrapped round the figure. Crepe de chine and china silk blouses are worn by the tennis player. They are made with flat Byron cellars some of them with deep, comfortable V. on revealed that the first had ; marvelous rainbow reflections from | Placed in contact with | necks. Seme of them are made with a yoke and are shirred into the yoke over a cord: White is the celor us- ually worn. Shirtwaists of plyue are worn with skirts of ratine or eponge. Of course, the mew pique {s much more supple than the material of the name 80 popu- lar several years ago. White dresses, trimmed with fancy ilks printed in the gay colors, will seolve the coler prol for many women who realize that they cannot Lr?y themselves in costumes of many colors. Lace used as inside revers is a fem- inine touch which has been given to some waistcoats. A.Smcalt of the season is to have a.design on the coat wrought out in heavy self covered cording. Tulle is the rage. It is used for trimming hats, in making neck ruches for vestees, ruffies deep or narrow, as a foundation for net and lace, as neck and wrist ruffles. THE SACTHET CAP. Should be of handkerchief linen or nainsook, the heavier the better, for the odor of the sachet must be safely confined within the cap’'s dainty lim- its; it would escape through a thin material. Cut from the goods a round piece about sixteen inches across and mark out the edges with a thimble and pencil for scallops. Buttonhole the scallops and edge with a narrow valenciennes lace to relieve the some- what heavy appearance of the ~ cap. Run a narrow casing about an-inch and a quarter above the scallops for the elastic. In the center work a solid design in white punch work, for eye- lets would permit the odor of the sachet to escape. Make a flat, three inch square sachet bag of the material used in the cap (nainsook or handker- chief linen will be heavy enough’, a thin layer of cotton and plenty of sachet, and baste it to the inside. Use a basting stitch, with very tiny stitches on the outside and large ones inside, so that the bastings will not be conspic- uously prominent on the outside. Place a twisted ribbon about the cap over the elastic casing and a small ribbon bow in the exact center close to the scalloped edge. The sachet cap is then ready for “business.” Worn for an hour or so the cap will impart a de- lightful, if somewhat fleeting, fragrance | 1o the tresses, but worn overnight the perfume will 'sometimes cling to the hair for several days. PRETTY SHELVES. If you like dainty pantry shelves in- stead of using the scalloped paper edg- ing sold for that purpose which is so easily torn and needs replacing every three or four weeks, buy India linen (10 cents a yard.) cut it in bias strips and make long scant ruffles. The hems can be edged with cheap lace at 1 or 2 cents a yard and each ruffle sewed to a white tape as long as the shelves. A few gold-headed tacks fasten the ruffles to the edge of shelf. This is easily removed for laundering and lasts two years. i GLAZED CHINTZ SHADES. In the country cottage glazed.chintz is taking the place of plain shades. Made fo fit the window and run on an ordinary roller, these shades are most attractive, the light sifting through and effectively bringing out the lavely chintz patterns. Over these the white draperles are hung straight or draped back. NEEDLEWORK NOTES, sleeves in by machine, then buttonhole around the edges with efther a coarse thread or soft floss. Lace is used to trim handbags, just aa leather is now used to trim hats. A dainty handbag of tan suede is edged about the top with a narrow frilling of deep cream valenciennes lace, fulled well around the corners. Gum arabic is the best thing to use for stiffening fine pleces of lace, etc. The way to make the solution 1s, two ounces of white gum arabic put into a vessel and one pint of bolling water poured over it. When dissolved bottle and cork. For shirt fronts, stir into fine starch a teaspoonful of the mix- ture to give a gloss. paper under the rent, drawing it into perfect shape: then darn neatly with ravelings of the material. If one has no pieces these can sometimes be ob- talned from the raw edges of the skirt gores. A French patch is made with- out turning the edge under. The plece is smoothly fitted in and a piece of thin paper basted on. The edges of the patch are then darned with very fine stitches. Always press a darn care- fully after finishing it. A two letter monogram may be formed by transferring one letter and then stamping the other tetter directly over it. Embroider the letters so that they will be intertwined. A three letter monogram can be arranged by placing the first two letters about one-fourth or one-eighth of an inch apart and then stamping the third letter directly over the other two, heing very care- ful that they correctly intertwine when embroidering. In this way much can be accomplished with one alphabet. FUR EDGED FLOUNCES.

Queen Welhelmina had a very pretty art to play at the inauguration of the alace of Peace recently at The Hague. She conferred the grand cross of the order of Orange-Nassau on Andrew Carnegle, and a simllar decoration was conferred on Abraham Picter Cornelis Van Karnebeck, president of the Car- negie foundation. Miss Frances Edwards, an English school girl, has received a Carnegie hero meédal for saving a woman and boy from drowning. She was on her avay to the high school when she saw a mother jump in after her son, both being in danger of drowning, and dressed as she was she jumped in and saved both of them. The Royal Hu- mane Society of England will also re- ward her. Miss Clara Cynthia Munson of War- renton, Ore., a woman mayor of the far west, is said to be making good. She dismissed the city attorney and a policeman and is applying their sal- aries for work on the sidewalks. granted a saloon license, although most of the women voters were opposed to it. Incidentally, she is said to have re- ceived ten offers of marrige. USE FOR WORN TABLECLOTHS. Partly worn damask tablecloths can be utilized for traycloths anad doily luncheon sets for everyday use. By holding the cloth to the light the good portion can easily be distinguished. Cut the good part into centerpieces, doilies, traycloths, ete. Old fashioned rickrack braid makes a very suitabie edging for i and the work of making an old cloth into very serviceable din- ing room pieces is thus quickly ac- complished. A few embroidered dots have the rickrack edging or an em- broidered initial will add to the at- tractiveness of the pieces. RECIPES. Beefsteak Pie—Cut one pound. of round steak in pieces about two inches square and brown In the frving pan, carefully saving gravy. When turned once add a tablespoonful of butter. The meat must not be thoroughly cooked, merely browned on the outside. Parboil two potatoes, and when about half done cut in eighths. Put meat and { potatoes in a pudding pan and season to taste, Cover with a crust made as as follows: One cupful of sifted flour, a pln(‘b of salt and a half teaspoonful of baking powder. Rub into this a scant tablespoonful of butter. Moisten with milk until just soft enough to roll out, which usually requires about three-quarters of a teacupful of milk. Cut slits in top and bake twenty min- utes. A few dumplings may be made of the crust and added to the inslde of the pie. Roast Pork with Sage and Onion Stuffing—Elther a leg or a loin of pork may be used for this dish. If a loin, separate each joint with the chopper and mal\e an Incislon in the thick part of the pork. Into the cavity thus made put a dressing made of a cupful of crumbs, an onion chopped. fine, a teaspoonful of chopped sage, a tea- spoonful of made mustard, a few dash- es of pepper, salt to taste, a table- spoonful of butter, a little cold mashed potato and a tablespoonful of vinegar. | Bring the edges of the meat together and bind or sew them so the dressing | may not escape. If the leg is used the dressing is put under the skin. | Allow twenty minutes to the pound and { twenty minutes over. Baste frequentlys especially at first. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Everybody-at-Church Plan Towards Unity. a Step Mr. Editor: There have already ap- peared in previous editions of vour paper letters relative to the “Every- body at church” plan, but will you per- mit me to v another word? A state- ment was made long ago that even today 1 a4 charm and helpful ring to_‘n, name that it is a pleasant thing for peoble to live in peace and harmony. *Behold how good and how pleasant it brethren to dwell together in u It seems to me that the verybody at church” move- ment is a step towards this unity and it is the hope that all the people of Norwich, as far as circumstances will permit, will endeavor to attend church services on the second Sunday in Jan- uary next, the day designated as “Everybody at church Sunday,” that they may behold a demonstration of unity of the right kind. This is not intended to be a se ional movex ment, but one of helpfuiness for all. It is the desire that there shall be given an evidence of the power of the gospel, the good news, upon the indi- vidual life and the life of the commu- nity. We hope, Mr, Kditor, that the people of this city will consider this matter seriously and act upon it in the same manner; and may the churches be filled on the 11th day of January and we would that they might also be filled every other Sun- day.
