In all the efforts to take life, to wreck property and to intimidate high officials by written communica- tions manifested in the shooting of J. P. Morgan, the exploding of a bomb at the capitol at Washington and the sending of threatening letters to the president, there is disclosed a dangerous tendency born of an agita- tion which has sprung up in this country as the result ot the Euro- pean war. People who labor under the impres- sion that this country has taken a biased stand against Germany and is alding in the war by its policy con- cerning munitions of war have been persistently at work stirring up an opposition. There has been {insuffi- cient thought given to the position which this country has taken and a failure to appreciate the fact that it has declared for neutrality and that it had persistently held to that atti- tude. The purpose of such agitation has been to ereate sympathy for and bring about an act which would mean indirect aid in behalf of one of the belligerents and to the detriment of the others. That it has not succeed- ed and is not llable to puull this nation from its middle of the road policy is plainly evident but the strong prop- aganda in its behalf has aroused the dangerous and the irresponsible. The result is that the country is suffer- ing therefrom and it deserves a prompt check before it results in a wave of anarchy and greater calami- ties. Use them until they have been leun- dered several times and lose thelr stiff- ness. oil very hot, and then fry a piece of onion in it. When brown, take it out. After sitting for a while embroid- ering, the eyes and back are apt to be- come tired. Try putting a flat pillow on your lap. The change of position is very restful. A ball of string in the guest room is a convenience. Often when a guest is packing, there is need of string. A bunch of baggage tags in the desk will be appreciated. ‘When planting lily bulbs, place them 12 inches deep and tip the bulb a Ilttle sidewise to prevent water from settling at the base among the ecales, causing decay. It is somewhat difficuit to fasten the trimming on a hat, but do not draw the knot in close, and after the trim- ming is secured, tie the two ends to- gether in a hard knot. ‘When ironing, the strain on the feet can be relieved if a thick pad is made of old flannel garments sewed together. Stand on the ped and you will find yourself less tired. 4412 5,920 1905, average .

It has been four years since Mex- ico dispensed with the services of Porfirio Diaz, the man who relied upon governing with the iron hand to bring that country out of anarchy. As if by a magic stroke his departure was the signal for the return of con- ditions similar to those to which he in his earlier years contributed his share, and which prevalled previous to his long term as president of that republic. Diaz succeeded by his methods in restoring peace, reestablishing busi- ness and winning confidence and cred- it for his country. His accomplish- ments were not lasting however. They came to an end when he departed. He began his political career by pro- claiming himself a reformer, but no sooner had he taken office than he forgot all about his platform and open- ly proclaimed his recommended re- forms “a heap of moral absurdities.” Diaz was a crafty ruler, a clever soldier and widely recognized as a statesman of marked ability, but be- tween that which he accomplished of a permanent nature for his country and that which it was possible for him to do there was a marked con- trast. His very methods were the cause of his own downfall and while there may be much which Mexico owes to Diaz, there was much in the way of leading and ‘giving assistance for the advancement and uplift of the masses which he totally ignored. As Mexicans go Diaz was a great man even though he failed to make the most of his opportunities. He failed to build for the future. EDITORIAL NOTES. The day we celebrate. Let Glory fly from every housetop. INSECTS IN PLANTS. Place plant in empty tin bucket. Then crumple up a small piece of newspaper, lay on same one-eighth of a cigar, split with knife; light paper with match, cover pail over tightly and leave for helf hour. If plant is very large use wash boller with one-half cigar split. Take a piece of common white chalk, scrape into a powder, add as much water as will produce a paste and ap- ply the paste to the surface of stained ivory. If stains are very bad two, three or even more applications may be required. If you wish to preserve oilcoths and have therh look nice and new, wash them with soft flannel and lukewarm water and wipe thoroughly dry. To keep moths away from clothing, wrap each article in stiff brown paper, secure all around, either with gum, paste or close stitching; in fact, make as airtight as possible. Put packages in box and keep tightly closed. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. A safe laxative for children is two soaked figs that have remained in a lit- tle water overnight. These are eaten in the morning hefore breakfast. INDEPENDENCE DAY. With the great war in progress across the water this country has rea- son to give deeper consideration than ever to the great national holiday ob- served today and the significance which is attached to the anniversary of this country's independence. Never before has the United States in the rights and liberties which it gives stocd out in greater contrast to the other nations of the world. It is a time not only when the citizens of this republic but all others who are enjoying {ts rich benefits and oppor- tunities should appreciate what the step that was taken 139 years ago means to them. As Andrew Jackson so well says “Consider the extent of territory, its increasing and happy population, its advance in arts which render life agreeable and the scien- ces which elevate the mind. See ed- ucation spreading the lights of reli- glon, morality and general informa- tion into every cottage in this wide extent of our territories and states. Behold it as the asylum where the wretched and oppressed find a refuge and support! Look on this picture of happiness and honor and say ‘We, too, are citizens of America!’” Thus is to be realized the import- ance of the .added effort which has been made to make this anniversary an occasion for impressing upon the newly made citizens just what it means to them and that K they are henceforth dutybound to uphold and contribute to its ideals. Fourth of July awakens the spirit of patriotism like no other holiday and it is far pre- ferable that it should be manifested in an appropriate and sensible manner rather than by struggling to fill the hospitals and hemes with injured and cripples. Nothing is more painful than a bunion and these suffer during the cold ‘weather. Relief can be given by bath- ing in hot water and soaping well. Dry and peint with tincture of iodine. Over this paste some good plaster in the form of a cross. The eyesight is all important and one should preserve it as much as pos- sible when one is young. It is said that lots of people who wear glasses could have avoided doing so had they been careful in youth of their eye- sight. o1a The weather bureau thoroughly un- derstands the importance of doing its part in behalf of prevention. One of the best lotlons to correct coarse pores and excessive oiliness of the skin is the following: One and one-half ounces of tincture of benzoin, one ounce spirits of wine and five ounces of orange flower water. Put the tincture of benzoin into an eight ounce bottle with the spirits of win add the other ingredients, m’!vloully mixed, and shake slightly. Apply this wash with a sponge night and morning. There appears to be a good chance for someone to put up a big kick in behalf of those Armenian mules. PURE FOOD IN CONNECTICUT. Insistence upon pure foods is noth- Ing new. It is a matter which has called forth not only state but federal legislation, and it requires nothing more than the reports from the Con- necticut Experimental station to dem- onstrate the wisdom of such action. It is nineteen years since this state put its first pure food law into opera- tion and from that time dates the im- provement in the simpler foods which are 'sold. Because of the vigilance in maintaining the law the progress has been steady until today according to the_bureau's latest report the purity has” increased from 59 to 90 per cent tor that class, while compound foods have shown an average betterment of seven per cent with the added pro- tection that the consumer can tell from the label the quality of the goods. This latter class still shows much opportunity for improvement and that to a large degree rests with the con- sumer. Jf the purchaser is insist- ent_upon the best he is bound to have 1 tremendous influence upon the qual- ity of the food that is provided. If he Is lax there will be ex- tended to keep just as close as possi- bleto the requirements of the law and the improvement will not be discern- ible. The change in the condition of ‘ood since the first law went into ef- The man on the corner says: Some people save money for a rainy day; others lay it aside for a hayfever va- cation. » Dr. Nathan Stauffer of Blockley hos- pital, Philadelphia, says that enlarged neck glands can be cured by preven- tion, because they usually come from neglect of adenoidal growth, énlarged tonslis and bad teeth. In a recent lecture given before the College of Physicians he said that these glands act as sentinels to the throat below the adenoids, tonsils, teeth andq ears, and they endeavor to check the invading horde of germs passed through the above channels. WASH GAITERS. ‘With the arrival of tub frocks and linen sults a supply of washable “spats” or galters, to be worn over pumps, has made its appearance in the shops. - For cool days, when one does not want to wear low shoes, and when high ones have been put away for the summer, the gaiter of pique or duck is a great convenience. It matches the material of the frock, is light in weight and can be easily cleaned. These spaets come in white and some of the simpler colors. They can be dyed to match any dress or suit, CHEAP SINK .TRAINIR. ‘An eounamlcl! and exceedingly uee- ful sink strainer may be made by punching holes with a nail and ham- mer in the bottom of a lard pail. Stand this In the corner of your sink to recelve potato skins and all sorts of debris, which may be put into the stove or garbage pall, as preferred, at the end of each meal. Wash the pail with hot suds when washing the other dishes. BABY'S DRESSES. If impossible to make it a sane cel- ebration make it as sane as possible, not forgetting the advisability of mak. ing it safe. The New York woman who stabbed herself 26 times to commit-suicide hacked away as if she felt .one bad blow deserved another.

How meny housekeepers have com- plaints from the taller members of the family of bedclothes pulling up from the bottom of the bed and ex- posing the feet? - A splendid way to keep the coverings in place is to place a sheet, folded hem to hem over the blankets at the foot of the bed just before putting on the spread. Put about half of doubled l.haet over blankets then tuck rest of sheet under mattress, then place spread on bed as usual. This 'keeps the bed in perfect shape and is a great comfort. TO CLEAN GAS PIPES. Make a paste of Dutch Cleanser, moistened with household ammonia; apply with a piece of flannel and wipe off with dry cloth. It works like magic and requires a few minutes. It does away with discolored pipes, oncn the one blotch on a neat kitchen. This je also excellent for nickel surfaces. WHITES OF EGGS.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Tarnow, whence the Austro-German armies launched their great offensive across Galicla to Lemberg and beyond, forms the subject of a National Geo- mphlc soclety description, issued to- “Tarnow marks one of the points of fartherest Russian advance, and, also, the point from which the Austro-Ge: man drive its sweep across Galic'a. This little town is situated upon the Cracow-Lemberg trunkline rallway, and upon a branch toward the south. It has here, 48 miles west of Cracow, that the Russian armies of invasion converged for their campaign against the anclent Polish capital, “From Tarnow, the northern Aus- trian rallway runs east and through Jaroslau to the fort: Przemysl, and then east and north to Lemberg. The way from Tarnow to Lemberg, which the Geérman:armies covered during May and June, meas- ures 164 miles, 104 miles to Przemysl and 60 miles from the famous fortress to the Galiclan capital. The wr through fairly open country, the slopes long, with only here and there hill- broken stretches. “The little ¢éity, with whose recap- ture the last mighty military eam- paign developed, is situated in the northern plain, near the conffuence of the Biala with the Dunajec river, a tributary of the Vistula. The Vistula lies about 25 miles to the north, and forms the Galicia-Russian-Poland bor- der. Nearly half of the town’s popu- lation of 32,000 are Jews. It had a growing industry before the war, 3ts chief manufacture being that of agi- cultural implements, for use upon the fertile fields of northern Galicia. There were also important flour, glass and lumber manufactures. The town pos- sesses a cathedral in modified Gothic style, and some igteresting baronial ruins, these latter connected with 800 years of Polish history. “Ferocious, treacherous, vindictive, cultured, forceful and progressive, the great family of the Malatesta, the ‘Wrongheads, so genuinely a product of whimaical, beautiful, contradictory Italla, came into power in Rimini dur- ing the twelfth century, Lords of the Castle of Verruchio, the Wrongheads, brought forth in one of their violent race a character so wildly odd as to make the story of his life Rimini’s master romance. Brave, generous, cruel, diabolical in his cunning and cynical strategy, strong, learned, half devil and half angel, and all the shades between Sigismondo, most wrong- headed of all the Wrongheads, ex- pressed the threefold soul of Italy, the Borgia, the Machlavelli, and the Dante. “Sigismonda was a leader in the early Renaissance, a scholar and an artist. He built in 1438 the Castle, of which part remains, which was once held to be the strongest in Italy. He ‘was active in promoting Europe's re- awakening of spirit, in the re-estab- shment of a science and an art with- out the constraining bounds of the church. Yet he murdered three wives in succession, lived a life of unbridled lust, and was attacked by the church for a long list of black, violent of- fenses,, However, the tribute that he d to scholarship was genulne, and 'ween intrigues, military duties and his crimes he spent his time with philosophers, savants and artists. He built tho Church of St. Francesco at Rimini, a strange work of classic art, built by plunder, and sanctifying its odd duilder, and, in appearance, more ocrh-mm temple than of a Christian urch, STYLISH HINTS. Grnpes in plump, well-filled round- silk-made, and larger than life ure the latest offerings for trimming the summer hat for miladi of the most modish clan. Her sports hat, to be above the tilt of the ordinary, must be made of baby width silk ribbons in vivid colors stitched flatly to silk hemp and done 8o cleverly the hat may be rolled and stuffed into the coat pocket as easily as a man's felt may be. The right style tang is edded with two dangling ribbon ends of white, placed anywhere you please on the crown. Of course, this sort of hat is small and round, but its shape, etyle and color are so adaptable and suitable it is as becoming to the woman in her glorious forties as to the piquant- faced debutante of 18. But then this last is a characteristic of all the successful modes for this season. If you are inclined to ques- tion the statement just study shoe styles awhile. For that matter a new mode for the summer girl is the all-white boot in cossack style which puts on and is without adornment of eny sort save long, silky white tassels, which dangle from the top at the front. As the boot top is glimpsed only when the wearer is dancing, the tassels are a tantalizing bit of modishness. These sorts of footwear are worn only with dressy sports clothes, and by this is meant the exquisite skirt of white taffetas or crepe de chine or gabardine tailored to a fashiomable nicety, and worn for a beach stroll, a dansant or a country club festival, topped with a taffeta-made frivolity in the way of a coat, short, colorful and Frenchy in style. ‘The boots, ‘hdy the way, are of white kid suede or doeskin. Bcarfs everywhere. ne wearing them. They may be six m in length, made of brilliantly colored tulles or chiffons and edged with regal looking embrolderies of silver, gold or cystal, a la Lucllle, or be two yards of ‘satin with taffetas rufflings or be- come fascinating allurements of lace of the “real” or imitation varieties in Brussels or Spanish inspired de- signs. TO SEASON UTENSILS. New agate and tin cooking utensils require seasoning before they are used. To do this, simply let them stand on the back of the range for two hours, filled with scalding water and bicar- bonate of soda; one teaspoonful to a quart of wats then wash and dry in the regular manner.

Still it may be taken for granted that eventu- ally the commission will meet and get down to business. And still fur- ther in the future, very far in the fu- ture, the statutes will be revised. In the meantime, salaries go on and everyone is happy except the taxpay- ers, who have an uneasy notion that the present estimate of the expenses of revision may have to be revised up- ward before the commission completes its work.—Ansonia Sentinel. Wwere more hours of classroom and fewer of enforced idleness in cluded in the days of a year. Just how the question of long vacations, as it affects both the schools and the col- leges of this country, can be worked out, it is perhaps a bit early to at- tempt to prophesy. Moreover, it is as we have said, a bit unfeeling to bring the matter up at this time for anything more than e reminder of the insistent nature of the question. Pres- ently, however, efficiency experts will train their minds on the matter, and the school and college calendar will have to undergo a revision. There are at present too many reasons why the weeks of annual vacation are funda- mentally not quite as they should be. —New Haven Jcurnal-Courier. ‘There is a growing feeling that both teachers and tfaught and the whole business of educating this country's future citizens would be better served DAILY SERVICE Until Sept. 7 to STEAMER BLOCK ISLAND WATCH HILL and BLOCK ISLAND A.M.
