The bringiug to the attention of the Norwegian parliament of the treat- ment_jwhich is accorded immigrants at Elils Island is another instance of the manner in which the administra< tion of the immigration laws rather than the lawscauses many grievances, It cannot help being realized that the direction of the big imemigration sta- tion is no sinecure for the handling of the big daily stream of foreigners which involves much responsibility Dboth to this country and (to those peo- ple.

People from that section of Europe have proved their worth, as desirable citizens and it is unreasonable to be- lieve that there has been amy know- ing imposition against them, or any unjustifiable action which would be sustained. The situation is one, how- ever, which should bring the attention of foreign countriés to the valuable service which can bé renilered their countrymen contemplating sentrance to this country, by instructing them in the immigration regulagjons before they leave.

The programme which has been mapped out contemplates thej enactment of a number of important; measures bear- ing upon matters cpncerming which the country has already been piunged into an uncertain state because of the legisiation already’ passed and its effect. Such an expenditurej of legislative energy under the plan{ to keep con- gress in session all summer appeals to the New York Tribune as a grave digging act and tendingto the serious resuits which followed' the record breaking session of the 5lst congress. In @eclaring that it looks as if the present congress is going -to bring upon itself a similar fate, it says: *Fhe country is twed of it and of sil its works. The public resents the erish hurry with®which half baked lesisiation is being rushed upon the statute books. The péople want a rest. Even congress wants to go home, but quails before the piercing eys of the flerce taskmaster in the White House. There will be a reck- oning next November. Then, unless all signs fail, history will repeat it- self im¢he slaughter of busybody law- makers who didn’t know enough to quit when it was time to quit.” With hurried legislation and insuf- ficient time for the country to digest it, it is evident that the administration hasn't given much thought to the dan- gers of political indigestion EDITORIAL NOTES. There is a possibility that the De- fiance is a dark horse. Still the Hay-Pauncefote treaty stands in as much need of an inter- pretation as it ever did.

Then take a clean whisk broom and brush well to remove corn meal, as well as dust. If curtains are wrinkled they may now be pressed, and will be found to be -almost as fresh looking as If laundered. VERANDA NURSERY. If it is at all possible, have a ver- anda nursery for the children tais summer. Usually it is very easy to convert a veranda into a satisfactory one. Screens, hanging curtains or awnings adjusted so they can be low- ered to shade it when the sun's rays strike it directly and, if possible, ne ting to keep out insects, are all that is Tequired. Where there are boys Whose climb- ing propensities are developing it may De necessary to heighten the fence by natiing up two or three bars, but the fence is usually sufficiently high. A comfortable couch, their toys and large cushions big enough to lie or =it upon with\ease will do for the most modest of these out of door nurseries. If the children are large emough to manage it for themselves & hammock is most desirable. There is ne better DPlace for baby’s afternoon nap, if his eyes are carefully shaded and he is protected by netting from the annoy- ance of flies, The effect of fresh air will beneft the health and temper of the little ones and their prattle loses lots of its noisiness out of doors. One mother Who served the children’s luncheon on her veranda last year declared it well repaid_her, and made the meal part of their play day. HEALTH AND BEAUTY, A good lotion for freckles mal be made from one ounce of alum, one ounce of lemon juice and pint of rose- water. Apply to the face just before Tetiring, being careful nof to allow any to enter the eyes, and wash off with warm water and soft cloth the next morning. Great care should be exercised in applylng anything whatever to the lashes for darkening purposes: more- over, from artistic point of View the darkeacr shouwd applied judi- ciously, o that the effect appears per- fectly natural. Nothing looks worse than palpably “made up” eves. An old palr of kid gloves, worn at night after an astrigent has been ap- plied, will do wonders in keeping the hands small and also in_ breaking down the fatty tissues. However, if the bones are large, reducing the flesh will only succeed in making the bones more prominent and the hands look old and even larger. It would be bet- ter to pass the time making them soft and white and in keeping the nails well manicured. 1f the hands seem to have acquired a grayish tinge their whiteness can be restored by the following treat- ment: in fact, it is an excellent idea to treat the hands in this way every ten days. Rub them well with cam- phorated ice before going to bed, first washing them thoroughly, of course. Be sure the campror ice is well rub- bed in. Shake a little talmum powder into an old pair of loose gloves and put these on for the night. The morning will find the hands white and smooth. REFRIGERATOR DISHES. Covered glass dishes made espect- ally for the refrigerator and sold at reasonable prices have a two-fold value for the housewife. In the first place she can see at a glance what they contain; in the sec ond, all danger that one article of food will absorb some of the proper- ties of another is removed. Butter becomes tainted merely from stend- ing in close proximity to meat or veg- etables. If it is not actually spoiled it loges its purity and sweetness. In many households the leftover: from dinner have a conspicuous place in_the next day’s luncheon. Delicate desserts lose their flavor simply from standing overnight in the refrigerator uncovered, These glass dishes come in differ- ent shapes and sizes. An oblong glass butter dish is smaller in style to the old fashioned ones used on the table, There are flat round dishes with high cover, especially suitable for meat, and the deep dishes with a flat cover, in which te place vegetabies or stewed frults or whatever one has on and.

When baking cookies an excellent way to save space in the oven, time in cooking and washing pans s to use a large preserve kettle cover, witn a ring that turns down. If the oven s hot, place it right side up so the ring may be used for a handle. A good sized cover will bake about four- teen cookies at a time. ETIQUETTE. At a large reception introductions at large are not given except to those to whom the entertainment is given. In most eases it is only necessary for a woman on being introduced to bow politely and repeat the name of the person presented. At a small dinner party the hostess should introduce all guests. At a troduce those who go in together to the table. ‘When drinking from a cup the spoon is left in the saucer. It should never be left for a moment in the cup, being used only to stir and dis- ! solve the sugar. The apropriate dress for the hostess at_an afternoon at home is a hand- some high necked long sleeved dress of any rich fabric. It may be elabo- rately trimmed and jewels worn. Ceremontous calls are not made be- tween women in the morning, evenin, or on Sunday afternoon. A man, ow ing to the exactions of business, ma: call in the evening and on Sunday afternoon. ‘When invited to a church wedding and not to the reception following, it is not necessary to send a present to the bride; but a call is made on tae { bride on her at home day & month or two after the .wedding. The wedding anniversaries usual- ly observed are the first, fifth, tent) fifteenth, twenty-fifth and fftieth, called respectively the paper, wooden, tin, cystal, silver and golden wed- dings.” It is a pretty sentiment to on- serve these anniversaries, and sufil- clent hints can be had for a gift from ted. Invitations to the first anniver- sarles are usually limited to intimate friends, but for the crystal, silver ani especially the golden “wedding large gutherings are the rule. GLASS UTENSILS. A New York glass manufacturer is experimenting with the making of cooking utenslls of glass. Already glass percolators and stewpans have been made which, although they rest on the flames, give no evidence of cracking and have proved heat resist- ing and nonexpansive. These utensils are apparently not affected in any way by the intense heat under them or by the contrasting temperature of the articles which they contain. Glass is for many reasons superior to either enamel or aluminum, being affected by none of the acids or alkalls formed or used in cooking and not subject to the insanitary cracking which is char- acteristic of most enameled ware. GLYCERIN IN FRUIT. Did you ever try measuring a tea- spoontul of glycerin to each pound of fruit when cooking jelly or preserves, to keep a sugary coat from formiid on_the top? When fruit is stewed, use on table- spoontul of glycerin to each pound of fruit, either fresh or dried. Any frait requiring sugar is improved by the adaition of glycerin, CONCERNING WOMEN., More than thirty women have lost thelr lives in the suffrage campalign in England. ish soclety women plan to ope; tea shops at several of the continental resorts, Mrs, A, O, Price of Mergantown, W, Ve, is te have 250 square inches of skin grafted on her, Female elorks in the British pestal service receive pnly half as much as the mals eierks.

A FLOWER HINT. Sprays of flowers, with woody stems, such as roses, lilacs, etc, should have half an inch of the bark stripped off before putting them. in water.

We read a great deal about thie:- ing trusts in our days, and in & way look upon them as modern institu- tions. They have existed for cen- turies and arious forms. More than 200 years ago there was formed in Eugland what was known as -ha “thief trust” at the head of which was Jonathan Wild. Wild was unique in the business, being a thief who never stole; a business man with no visible employment, a scoundrel who helped the law and 2 man of the law who helped scoundrels. In these varied oc- cupations his name became famous at the time, and has ever since remained a synonym for villainy. Wild was born in 1652. He was a bucklemaker by trade, but a thief by profession. He went to London as a young man and lived a life of dissipa- tion which quickly landed him in pris- on for debi. He remained there for four years and became acquainted with a number of the worst characters of London. When he emerged from jail. and with the knowlege he gained there, ne drew about him a number of croots and started inthe business of thiev- ing, employing them to do the work, while he would receive the stol goods. He hit upon a novel scheme. He would have his men steal the 500ds, and then he would hunt up the victims and promise to recover them for a stipulated sum. This_worked admirably for a time, and Wild, us well as the thieves, found an abund- ance of profit in the scheme. By the world at large Wild was considered a clever detective, who was especlally fortunate in tracting lost property. He managed to get the thieves wholly in his power, and by holding a threat over their heads he made the great army of creoks give him slavish obedience. When robbery became so0 = general parliament whs forced to pass a law making it a felony for any one to take money on pretence of restoring stolen #00ds unless he should also produce the thief. Wild was, by this time, sufficlently wealthy to have retired, but the spirit of graft was too strong for him. At last in 1725 he was ar- rested, was tried and was sentenced to be hanged. He was apprehended at his house in the Old Bailey and was carried before Sir John Fryar. The charge against him was “that for many years he had been a confederate with a great number of highwaymen, plckpockets, house breakers, shop lifters and other thieves.” The trial was begun on Saturday. May 15, the previous day the prisoner having distributed ameng the jurymen a considerable number of print:d papers, entitled “A list of the persens discovered, apprehended amd convict- ed of several robberies on the higa- way by Jonathan Wild.” len the jury took their seats, and the prisoner was brought to the bar, the counsel for the king took notice of his extracrdinary proceeding in the distribution of these circulars, stating that such practices were unwarrant- able, and not to be suffered in any gourt of justice as an effort to influ- ence a juky, The trial of Wild lasted for a num- ber of days and the most damaging evidence was brought against showing that he was the greatest ras cal of the age and pne of the greatest and cleverest that had ever been ap- prehended. He was found guilty and the death sentemce was imposed upon him. The evening before the sentence was carried out Wild inquired how the noble Greeks and famous Romans, who slew themselves, came to be so glorious in history, and if self-murder was a crime. His jailers gave him no opportunity for seclf-destruction. At the place of execution Wild, who had been till then half delirious by poison, began to recover and unite with the other criminals in the public prayers, as well as the tumult and the clamor which seemed to give thém relief. it is not easy to express with what ‘Window Screens| vl e ey \r\-és&v;»;»} ; By T LOVE and VENGEANCE.

Insteid of those signs of pity which they gen- were going to execution they reviled and cursed him and peited him with dirt and stones_continually, By the time Wild came to the end of his journey he was considerably recovereq from the disorder into which he had been thrown. The other male- factors being ready to be turned | and the executioners telling Jonathan he might take any reasonable time to | prepare himself, he continued sitting in the cart for a little time, but the I mob grew so outraged at his | gence that they called out incessantly to the hangman to do his office and threatened to knock him on the head if he did not instantly perform it. He found delays very dangerous and therefore no longer deferred giving the populace the satisfaction they de- manded. Thus ended the life of Jon- athan Wild on May 24, 1725. WATCH YOUR STEP!
