THE NEW SUNDAY LAW,

There is much stir over the new Sum- day law just now, probably more than there will be after the law has been violated often enough and long enough to show that it is about as dead let ter as the old law has been. Next Sun day will be the first Sunday under the new law, which reads as follows: Any person who shall do any secular busi- ness or labor, except works of necessity or mercy, or keep open any shop, warehouse, or manufacturing or me- chanical establishment, or expose any property for sale, or engage in any sport, between 12 o'clock Saturday night and 12 o'clock Sunday night, shall be fined not more than s50." This law Is not so illiberal as some who don't want any law Sunday think. The new law applies to Sunday observ- ance from midnight to midnight, while set; and in that particular the new statute Is more comprehensive than the one it supersedes. Again, the maxi mum penalty for the violation of the law Is $50 as against s4 for the viola ton of the old law. But the present law forbids "sport or recreation" on Sunday, while the new law allows recreation and applies only to sport Tn that respect the new law is more liberal than the old and it removes the legal ban from bicycle riding for recrea- ton, trolley riding for amusement, and similar pleasures that don't make an offensive disturbance
 If the new law Is enforced more wig orously than the old one has been of course those who want to do business or have illegal fun on Sunday will have more trouble than they have had. But everybody will be surprised if there is much difference.

Is one thing and practical demonstra- ton Is another.
 Then again, she says she Is not re- stricted to $10 per week, and yet two pounds of butter is all they use. thought so, This good lady has fam fly of three, and one of these is small child, yet she admits using two pounds of butter in her own family. It is ev- ident she has estimated her bill of fare on basis of three people and not five. A casual glance only is needed to show this.
 The lady says her menu does not pro- vide for maximum quantity of every thing mentioned. One can readily judge so on reviewing the bill of costs. But if she has not provided g. maximum quantity why didn't she do so? That's no excuse. It is to be supposed that for ten dollars cash in hand the lady is to furnish a menu that will feed five abls bodied people for seven days so that each person shall have enough and no one be compelled to go hungry. If as she acknowledges in her explanation in the Register she has failed to do this, then is her menu by her own acknowl- edgement proven worthless and imprac- ticable, just as I pronounced it to be in my criticism of it yesterday morn ing.
 I should like to be one of a party to sit down to this menu furnished by this lady for week and judge of it's quantity and quality.
 I fear, however, at the end of that time I would be physically incapable of subscribing myself as now,

expedient to which Miss Economy would wish to resort when her box of
 odds and ends of hat trimmings will
 not furnish complete set of one
 flower. Let her, then, sail in with a collection of all sorts and keep her head
 as high as girl may who carries the
 latest Paris idea on, if not in, her head.
 There is nothing of pronounced new
 ness in little girls headwear. which
 follows with more or less exactness, ac-
 cording to the notions of mamma, the fashions set for adults. Of the two
 models the artist sets here the upper is
 rough and ready sort; the other more dressy. The first was rough white
 straw, its wide brin bent slightly at the sides, and it's trimming was white gros grain ribbon. White rice straw was used in the other hat, which had | a rather high, conical crown and a f1uted brim faced with pale blue satin. Satin ribbon of the same shade encir- cled the crown and furnished the large | loops in front.
 It must discourage milliners to see
 the way in which the very daintiest and dressiest of the swagger summer girls
 are discarding hats for driving. They wear their hair becomingly arranged, they wrap the head in a scarf of light silk or lace and carry an elaborate par asoL This is really good idea. The
 only hat to go with a summer driving
 dress is an elaborate picture affair. and
 alas! such @ hat refuses to Ego" with the dress, but insists on trying to stay a quarter of a mile behind all the rest ! of the fair wearer. She has seized upon
 the obvious solution of the difficulty in discarding the hat altogether. Her hair is not pulled out of place, the scarf does not become disarranged and the elab- | orateness of the parasol gives all the fluff and flutter about her head that she

 quite agree with the workingman about the quantities which this family eat. They are too small. And if, as he charltably supposes, two of them are infants, is it not worse than ever about the milk?
 Mrs. Zunder says nothing about the price of the rhubarb, of which she makes a pie. If she raises it in her garden she should have said so, She has salad twice, and does not say of what she made the dressing. Salad dressing is made of eggs, vinegar or lemon juice and either cream or oil. She does not buy oil, and the cream is more than accounted for without using any for that
 Tuesday Mrs zunder spends 30 cents for roast lamb. Now, breast of lamb can be obtained for six cents pound, and there would be a four-pound roast; but would there be any left? There would not if it was good Saturday she has roast beef for 40 cents; that presupposes four pounds at ten cents pound. It can sometimes be obtain ed for eight cents. But it is the very poorest kind of a piece to roast. If she bought beef at sixteen cents there would be only two and a quarter pounds and nobody could roast such piece as that. Is 1t best to feed ones family on such cheap meat and try to fill them up with salad and other luxu- ries? Is 1t good advice to give young housekeepers? And is it wise and right to give prize to menu which con- tains such serious errors in judgment, as well as mistakes In quantities? I might go on and mention several oth- CT peculiarities. but I will leave every one who has ever kept house, or who ever expects to have that privilege, to lind the rest. I would like to say in closing that a family of five persons can be fed with nourishing and paIa- table food for the sum named, but they must do without some luxuries men, toned in this bill of fare.

More About That Menu.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Tn giving prizes care should be taken in selecting the judges. They should always be experts. In giving a prize for a menu, if the honor is to have any value, the judges should be expert housekeepers. A newspaper reporter, however eminent in her profession, cannot be expected to have made a study of housekeeping. It looks as if the judges of the prize recently award ed by Mcintyre & Co., had hardly stud jed seriously the very interesting and varied menu by Mrs. Albert Zunder, to whom they gave a first prize; for 1t contains serious errors Cor perhaps, at this state of the discussion, we had better call them discrepancies), both as | to quantities and prices. l have been much interested in reading Mrs. zun- l der's bill of fare and also the excellent criticism by a "workingnnan with a family of i've" I have had several years experience in keeping house for family of five grown persons, and heartily endorse what this man has to say in nearly every particular. think | it would be possible to be little more economical of eggs than he thinks, and also that meat can be bought more cheaply. I quite agree with him about the other things. I would like to call 1 your attention to some other items.
 | Tn the first place, let us consider milk. Mrs. Zunder uses seven quarts a week; that is, one quart day. Now every day she must use more than one quart with her bill of fare Sunday she has oatmeal, cIsamed potatoes and coffee for breakfast. AS she does not say anything about cream with oat- meal and coffee, I conclude that she expects the family to use boiled milk with their coffee and milk on their oat- meal Now, let us suppose that they use the least quantity possible only half pint for each of these, and a pint for the creamed potatoes, and there is quart of milk used up for breakfast. For dinner she has ice cream, and if she only makes a quart, which is a very small allowance for five persons and uses half cream and half milk, she uses another half pint of milk, unac- counted TOT.
 l Monday she has oatmeal and coffee again, another pint of milk, for break fast; for dinner she has mashed pota- toes, another half pint; and for supper she has chocolate cake-half a pint and vanilla custard--a pint-(and that is a very small custard for five per sons), exceeding the days allowance by another pint. I will let any bouse- keeper count through the week and see if there is any day on which Mrs Zun- der does not exceed her quart of milk
 She must also use more than a quart of cream. by her own account, althougb of course it was not bought all at onca
 as the workingnan seems to think if must have been. She buys milk st five cents quart and cream at 25 cents T would like to know wherel wo,,1d also like to ask, with the workingman
 where Mrs. Zunder buys butter and ex- tracts. Good butter do not find in New Haven at less than 2e cents a pound, even in summer, and at the same time good milk and cream are six

PROGRESS AT SHOREDITCH.

An invention that will at the same time utilize house refuse and cheapen electricity is an invention worth hav- ing So the people of Shoreditch, Lon don, think. A new invention for con- verting dirt into electricity has been sufficiently tested to warrant the erec- tion at Shoreditch of a plant costing s75OoOO, by which ast1-bin refuse is put into destructor cells that are capable of burning twenty thousand tons an- nually. The heat given out is sufficient for the electric light and power for the entire one hundred and forty thousand population of Shoreditch, including the supply of heat to the adjoining baths and wash houses.
 The contents of the household dust bins and the refuse collected in the streets and from the shops, stores and dwellings are carted to the municipal works, where electric lifts and motor cars distribute the refuse on tipping platforms. Mechanical feeders pick it up and charge the cells of the dust de- structor. A forced blast is obtained by motor-driven fans, and as the works stand near a. sewer a fan or blower ventilates this, draws out the gases, passes them into the furnace, where they feed the flame. A new system of thermal storage, which has been intro- duced, economies and stores the heat. for, while the dust destructors must be kept continually at work, the demand
 for an electric current, into which the heat is to be converted, varies with the different hours of the day The heat generated by the dust destructor passes on to drive the engines and dynamos of the electric lighting station, and the hot water is drawn off as required to the adjoining baths and Iaundries. In this way all classes in the community are served by this system for the util- ization of refuse The waste material collected at the houses of the citizens 1 is transformed and returned to those who care for it in the form of electric light. As a means of popularizing the electric lighting system and increasing the use of electric lights, the vestry
 authorities have arranged a system of penny-in-the-slot meters, so that the wOrkingman who wishes to have a
 penny's worth of electric light to read
 by, eat by or brighten up his home can have that quantity supplied to him at any time by simply dropping his penny

should be used, and there were the usual contentious and the usual scan- dals over the acceptance of retain ers'' from interested contractors. Since the modification of the charter the right of the council to choose the kind of pavement has been resisted, proper ty-holders taking the position that they are entitled to select that for which they are required to pay. This posi- ton has been approved by the courts, the members of the council have lost one source of revenue, and the prop erty-owners have hopes that in the re- sultant open competition they may not have to pay much more now when they are assessed one-half than they did when their obligation was for one-third of the cost.
