For the first time in the history of the city, Norwich is Lo use the vot- ing machines at the June election for the selection of city officials. It is a step in behalf of accuracy, early re- turns and an assurance that the vote has been cast and counted as intend ed which has long been needed and there is every reason to believe that it will prove as successful as has been their introduction in the town elec- tions. The arrangements which have been made by the registrars of voters for the demonstration of the voting ma- chines that any who may feel the need of Instructions may get them when there is plenty of time to clear up any details over which there may somg misunderstanding, should - win such appreciation as to keep the regis- trars busy. It is a move in the right direction for while there have been geveral demonstrations and the ma- chines have been used at elections they have been alternated with the ballot to such an extent that more or 1éss confusion may still exist concern- ing their use, simple as it is. For the instruction of any new vot- ers, or those who may mot have had a chance before to use the machines it means the opportunity which should not be missed. The clearest and best advice upon such things is to be gain- ed when. there is plenty of time and not by waiting until election day and depending upon hasty and uncertain directions. A demonstration of the machines and an opportunity to work them when there 1s time to make sure upon all points should be taken advan- tage of rather than neglected. THE ECONOMIC PHASE. 1t is undoubtedly true that the ad- ministration has had an undesirable lesson on tariff for revenue only, in the bunting for the flag incident which it did not welcome. 1t is undoubtedly true, as stated, that foreign bids for the bunting were not sought. The market was open to the foreign makers, however and they entered the com- petition with the advantages which they possess in the way of hours and labor. To have the navy or any other department yield to such conditions would have been the most unpatriotic and un-American act which could have becn done. Thus it was but to be expected, as has been announced that the department considers it the bet- ter policy to patronize home industry and the foreign bunting will not be purchased. The affair has, however, had its in- teresting side, but as the Springfield Union_s: “Let us hope, however, that the economic phase of the ques- tion 1s not whoily lost on the admin- istration and on the voters as a whole. When we buy abroad we get the object of our purchase, but the foreigner has our money. It is just as true of woolen and cotton goods, boots and shoes, citlery and hard- ware, as it is of the bunting for the flag. There !s Idleness but no real freedom for American workmen if our factories close down and we get what we must have from across the water.” Apply the bunting affair to all other commodities in which the foreigner can underbld us and purchase abroad, and what becomes of our industries and the well paid American workman?

Tntil the contrary is shown there 1s reason to believe that the eel will be the first fish to slip through the canal. From now on the Colonel will be committed to the belief that the story. of the explorers are so until proven otherwise. With the blowing up of the Mexican rubber factory at Detroit another in- stance Is shown of the uncertainty of things Mexican. Massachusetts has killed the bill taxing cats. Another instance of the great difficulty of disassociating cats and annihilation. The man on the corner says: There was 2 time when a man who made money was proud of it. Now he is afraid the other fellow will find it out. When the suffragettes start that Kissing strike, it must be understood that it will not e fair to call out the regulars to keep oft the strike break- ers. When the name of a city Is so thor- oughly mixed up with oil as Toilo there is every reason for doubling the vig- ilance in behalf of fire prevention and protection. - The navy department in deciding that bunting for Amercan flags will not he purchased abroad has given the right answer to its primary lesson in patriotism. The revelation in the Becker case'of the way in which lying i done before the bar of justice shows how many agulity man escapes the punishment | which he deserves. Memorial day is not far off. Why not show eur appreciation of the p: triotism of the veterans by providing automoniles for their participation in the annual march? They deserve it.

A little parting gift of some sort is al- 1 most imperative these days, by virtue of custom and courtes) There is, of course, always the gift of flowers, but though flowers make the staie- room charming at the time of depart- ure, they speedily fade, and may con- tribute their quota toward seasick- mess if the voyager not a seasoned sailor. Better is some practical gift ‘whose usefulness will be a continually pleasant reminder of the giver. A tea outfit completely equipped may prove an unspeakable comfort in the stateroom when the dining room seems to be impossible leagues away. Such an outfit includes, besides a dim- inutive tea pot and two cups; tea strainer, spoons, caddy filled with a mild blend of téa, a tin box of lump sugar, one or two lemons, and box of unsweetened crackers. 'A cake box of tin, attractively covered with flow- ered cretorne and fitted with tooth- some dainties for afternoon tea on deck costs but a dollar and will make its possessor a popular member of the deck colony. The woman who dotes on bridge will appreciate a deck bridge board, which may be set up on the lap as| one reclines comfortably in a steamer chair. There are groups of grooves | in which the four hands of cards may | be kept separately—secure against against the tugging breezes—and as the cards are “played” they are re- moved from the grooves and tucked under an elastic band at the bottom of the board so that the score may be kept in mind. Books are always an acceptable bon vovage remembrance, but no traveler cares to be loaded down with a lot of volumes too good to be thrown away ‘without a qualm of conscience yet for which the luggage provides no space. Magazires—especially the magazines which contain complete novels—are the best choice and the selection | should include only bright. cherry reading of not too solid a charcter. TO CLEAR HONEY, To obtain strained honey, by sepa- rating the honey from the wax as lll comes to us in the frame, place the frame in a bowl in the oven, just warm enough to melt the honey and | wax may be skimmed off the top without any trouble. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Don't wear a veil more than two or three times without washing it. The air of a room may be freshened by putting a_few drops of oil of lav- | ender into a bowl of boiling water and | lotting it stand until the water is| quite cold. The beauty sleeper will sleep better if she takes something before going to| bed, even though it be no more than a cup of hot water and a cracker. Her stomach will be quieter and her nerves will be easier. She will not have the restless feeling of the one| who goes to bed hungry and who wakes up with lines in her face. The old fashioned idea of the beau- ty sleep was the sieep that comes be- fore 12 o'clock. Every hour passed in sleep before midnight made a woman younger, according to the old fash- foned idea of the beauty sleep. After 12 the sléep is heavy and not so good for the nerves, being less invigorating | and less strengthening. According to! a certain specialist, “sleep after is the sleep of exhaustion.” The pain of burns can be allayed by soaking the injured part in a strong solution of washing soda. This is a very simple first aid treaiment which always available in the Bome and it | should be covered with a thick layer of boric acid gauze, Wwhich not only prevents the air acting upon the burn and making it more painful, but as- sists the healing of the wounded flesh, WEDDING FETES. ‘Wedding anniversaries are named as follows: First, cotton; second, paper; third, leather; fourth, fruit and flowers: fifth, Wooden; sixth, sugar: seventh, woolen; eighth, rub- Dber: ninth, willow: tenth, tin; eléventh steel; twelfth. silk and fine linen; | thirteenth, lace; fourteenth, ivory; | h, ‘crystais; twentietn, china; fifth, silver; _thirtieth, pearl: ruby; fiftieth, golden; seventy-fifth, diamond. NAME CARD PLANTS. Small potted artificial plants are still used effectively for place favors. A tiny card can be tied to these little plants for a name card. Artificial rose trees in square little porcelain are pretty. Flowering vielet are also good. OILCLOTH APRON. Purchase enough white oficloth to cover you from shoulder down, about two yards, Cut out the armhoies and lay a few piaits in back and front to &ive desired fit and fuliness. Hind all around with calico, making straps over the sheulders aitached to armholes with ome button and buitonhole at top and two strings to tie at the back just below the waist line. This apron can he donmed or discarded in & mo- ment is waterproof and when soiled a damp cioth does the “washing” in a fow moments. DICTATES OF FASHION. Somie of the new corsets designed for the tango not only have very short bones but elastic strips set in around the wai Seme of the newest bead” meckla are so long as to reach the foot of the ‘gown. Sometimes the beads are | little imported fad which has not yet Ci effects are beis with Roman_striped handsome afternoon frocks are de- veloped in taffeta or satin with tun- ‘k‘?k-nd half bodices of the striped GLASS GRATER. The glass grater is new. roughly pebbled slab of glass screwed to a flat back of wood, making it very convenient to handle, . as wood does not slip in holding it. It washes very easily and is pronounced much more sanitary than the old fashiomed tin grater. PETTICOATS -REVIVED. The revival of the petticoat, which has entirely disappeared from the fashionable woman's wardrobe is a striking feature of some of the mew frocks. But it is a petticoat that| makes its presence apparent—not one of the old fashioned sort that was quite content to stay hidden. Tho new petticoat is three or four inches longer than the skirt under which it is worn. Sometimes it is made of lace, sometimes of net, some- times of striped silk. HIP YOKES. In contrast to. the bouffant hip draperies are the close ftting yokes which seem to indicate the advent of skirts wider at the foot. A very smart little tailored gown of check lainage—worn with a plain coatee— had this yoke brought down as a pan- el at front and back and kilted side Dleces set on; quite an old style re- vived. The same idea is seen in thin- ner fabrics, but with three or four lit- tle flounces in place of the kilting, and the yoke and panels of brocade. CENTERPIECE HOLDER. Bmbroidered or lace trimmed cen- terpieces should be ironed fist and rolled up, not folded, for putting away. If desired a very little bolled starch may be added to the last rins- ing water, but the centerplece will | look handsomer if stmply wrung out of hot water and ironed while wet with a very hot iron. Several center- pleces may be rolled at once over a length of broomstick or any other stick of suitable size and length. ‘Newspapers made into a long, smooth roll, will answer if there is nothing else handy. A most attractive receptacle for the safe keeping of centerpieces may :be made with an ordinary malling tube, a yard long. one yard of flowered cre- tonne and several yards of number four ribbon at 5 or 6 cents teh yard. Cut off the four corners of the square of cretonne and bind all around with ribbon Use the corner pleces to cover the ends of the mailing tube, pasting the material to the tube with library paste Paste one edge of the square along the tube, roll over until the tube is completely hidden and tack in place The cut off corners at either end will fit nicely around the covered ends of the tube At the op- posite edge of the cretonne square sew short lengths of ribbon, and when the centerpieces have been laid on the square, begin at the tube and roil up, tying the finished roll of eretonne and centerpieces within, by means of the ribbon ends Or, instead of using rib- bons to tie up the roll, attach metal snap fasteners to the cretonne in such manner that the roll may be snap buttoned together A DIFFERENT WAY. Do you want to be just a little aif- ferent, even in so small a thing as buttons? They won't be very prac- tical buttons—that is, buttons about which are to go real buttonholes. The “different” buttons are merely _for ornamentation. They are sometimes, but not frequently (that is why they are different), seen upon coattalls or the cuffs of jackets, and are made to overlap one another, From four to six buttons may be arranged in this man- ner, one overlapping the other like a drawn out deck of carGs. This is a become prevalent among our fashionable set. USE FOR CITRON. Citron when properly used and prepared is so dilicious that it should be introduced for a change more fre- quently. Substitute citron in any recipe calling for dried fruit; for a plain cake transformation, white, _regular = or gingerbread, add one cupful of minced citron, slightly floured. Put a small cupful in the doughnut batter, meas- ured after dicing. In your lemon or vanilla icing put a little sugar, sprinkle a little of it shaved on top cake before icing is applied. When the vanilla ice cream is nearly_frozen, remove the lid and for two quarts drip in ome of the large pleces of citron, previously put through the meat grinder; again cover and finish as usual. Citron is delicious in apple sauce and “Brown Betty.” own * CONCERNING WOMEN, The queen of Roumania has the largest collection of doils in the world, over 1,444 in all. One-fourth of all the female stud- ents in the German universities are studying medicine. A woman juror in Watts, Cal, was excused so that she could go home and nurse her baby. The United States Supreme court holds that the Massachusetts ten hour woman's labor law is valid. Since January, when a New York automobtle school began to accept woman students, fifty have graduaied. A CORRECT HINT. When your corset steel breaks, make a slit near the bottom of the broken steel. on the inside, and insert a ateel taken from the side of an old el ; butter, one and one quarter cups of milk, half saltspoonful of salt, & big dash of red pepper. Heat this mixture to a boiling point, then pour it over four alices of buttered toast. EVERY DAY REFLECTONS Fried Chicken. What are: we coming to? Whither are we drifting? And oh, times! and oh, manners! The chief high worshipful of the United_States food research depart- ment, Mary E. Pennington, now takes the ‘stand and deposes 'that fried chicken is bad for us. That is to say, fried chicken that is fresh killed. She withdraws her objection pro- vided the fowl ‘after being killed be kept in dry, cold air for twenty-four hours while the flesh loses its heat. Then it should be repened from three to ten days in a temperature of 32 degrees. Then your chicken will be fit for cooking and eating.” This, of course, is prohibitive. Few farms and families have cold storage houses. The plan in operation since the days of Adam is to send one of the boys out into the yard to chase the devoted pullet seven times around the barn finally to sit on it, and then wring its neck. Shortly after this the hired girl dresses it, and ere the sun sets it is on the table bringing joy and gladness to the inwards of the family. 1t is @ifficult to get over the convic- tion that these scientific people are set upon robbing us of our most de- Jectable things to eat. For, put it to the reader as man to man, was any dish ever so downright good as fried chicken? All other forms of preparing the fowl fade into drabness beside this. Roast chicken, baked chicken smoth- ered chicken, fricasseed chicken, and deviled chicken—give us reguiation southern fried chicken against them, one and all. WATCH YOUR STEP!

The people of Massachusetts in the seventeenth century, like all other Christian people at that time, at least, with extremely rare individual excep- tions, believed in the reality of a hid, eous ' superstition called “witchcraft. In a few instances witches were be- lieved to have appeared in New Eng- land” in the eariler years, but the cases have been sporadic. With three or four exceptions no person appears to have been punished for witchcraft in Massachusetts nor convicted of it for more than sixty years after the settlement. The first real show of the witchcraft spirit came in 1692, in February, when the daughter of Samuel Parrls, the minister of Salem village, and a niece, began to have strange caprices. Th former was a child of nine and the latter 12. In the family of the min- ister were two slaves, John and Tituba, whom he had brought from the West Indies. The two children startled the neighborhood by their unaccountable performances, creeping under tables, assuming strange and painful attitudes and uttering inmarti- culate cries. This went on for some time, when the 12 year old daughter of a neighbor also began to act steangely. The families became dis- tressed and the neighbors alarmed. ‘These children would fall into con- Yulsions and utter plercing shrisks. At other times they would force their limbs into grotesque postures and become incapable of spesch and mo- corset. This strengthens the broken steel. TO SOFTEN BRUSHES. t was jeaiousy.

Smbaneiommman other girls and women similarly af- fected in the village were now called, began their accusations. The first persong mentioned were Tituba, the Indian slave; Goody O: born, a bedridden woman whose mind was affected by many troubles, physi- cal and mental, and Good, a friendless, forlorn creature, who was looked upon as a vagrant. In March, 1692 the first examina- tions were held in the meeting house in Salem village, John Hawthorne, ancestor of the novelist, and Jonathan Corwin, acting as magistrates, the three accused women having previ- ously been remanded to jail. The vic- tims did not receive fair treatment, for their guilt was assumed from the first and no counsel was allowed. At the trial it was brought out that the childrea were tortured whenever the alleged witches looked at thems During the months of April and May of 1692 Justices Hawthorne and Cor- win with Marshal George Herrick were busy getting the witches into jail, and the good people were startled astounded and terror-stricken at the number who were seized. Bridget Bishop, who had been ac- cused of witchcraft twenty years be- fore, was the first to be brought to trial. So as there.was no doubt about her, she was quickly condemned and was hung on the 10th day of June in the presence of a crowd of sad and frightened people. “The new Governor, Phips, who had Just arrived, fell in with the prevail- ing fear and a new bench of special judges was sworn in. On the 30th of June Sarah Good, Rebeka Nurse, Susannah Martin, Elizabeth How and Sarah Wilder were brought to_trial all were found guilty, except Nurs Who, being a church member, was ac quitted by the jury. In her first trial Tituba, the slave, confessed that under threats from Satan, swho had most often appeared to her as a in black, accompanied by a yellow bird, she had tortured the girls and named as her accomplices the two women, Good and Osborn. Tituba was sent to the Boston jail, where she remained until the delusion was over. She was then sold to pay the expenses of her imprisonment and is lost to history. Within a_few months several hun- dred people in Salem and nearby places were thrown into jail. On the 5th of August a new batch was haied before the court. They were all quickly convicted and sentenced and were hanged on Gallows hill. It was not long before the jails were full. One hundred and fifty prisoners awaited trial; 200 more were accused or suspected. Finally, on the second Wedneslay in October, 1892, about a fortnight after the hanging of eight in Salem, the representatives of the colonies as- sembled, and the people of Andover, their minister Joining with them, ap- peared with thier remonstrance he doings of the witch tri- A reversal came at last. At the following trials the juries changed sooner than the judges, and they sooger than the clergy At the January session of the court in 1693 only three were convicted, and they were reprieved, and in the spring Gov. Phips, being about to leave the country, pardoned all who were con- demned and the jalls were delivered. The excitement subsided as rapidly as it had arisen, but the evil work was done.

Mr. Editor: I read with interest the article entitled “History vs. Fiction,” and, following Mr. Ringland's sugges- tion, to read the facts of history and compare them with fiction, I find that Queen Mary of Scotland was a rela- tive of Queen Elizabeth, being her first cousin, once removed. Margaret Tudor, daughter of King Henry VIL of England, and sister of Henry VIII (father of Elizabeth), mar- ried James 1V of Scotland. Her son, James V, would, therefore, be Henry's nephew, and first cousin to Elizabeth. The expression “My most dear sis- ter,” was merely a conventional form, used between royal personages, at that period. X Y.z Norwich Town, May 16, 1914. Lesser Evil.
