PRIV4TE sRoRErARY PORTER.


The people of New Haven are much
pleased by the good fortune that has
come to John Addison Porter, whose
exile in Hartford has not taken him out
of their remembrance and interest.
They feel that the President has made
an uncommonly good choice in his pri-
vate secretary. Mr.. Porter has had
much experience in literature, Journal
ism and politics. He has mingled with
all the kinds of people that go with
such experience. He will not, there
fore, feel strange among the many
kinds of people that visit the White
House for business or pleasure. And
he will deal with them all courteously
and tactfully. He will be very useful
to the President, and will earn for him
self much respect and appreciation.
He will be especially popular with the
newspaper correspondents at Washing
ton, and as helpful to them as he can
be. He has we'll earned his appoint
nent. He fought early and late, hard
and long for Mckinley. The recogni-
ton of his services by the President
Is just and a graceful act. And the
President will find in him a faithful
and able helper.

it is cultivated. Its market is in China,
where the use to which it is put is

generally supposed that it is a necessa-
ry ingredient in the preparation of OPT

the Chinese government that at some
future day, not far distant, the supply

In the spring of 1894 Mr.. Page pro-
cured some of the seed and soWed 1t att

is not considered discouraging, as 1t al

two years to terminate. Deciding then
to study the plant in it's native haunts,
Mr. Page, in October, 1894 went to
North Carolina, and there, in Alleghe-

making his home in the midst of the
curious people made known to the

Dixon Ill, Jan. PIE. E. Page has
under successful cultivation at his SUI
burban home a crop the like of which
is not to be found elsewhere in Illinois,
at only two or three other places in
this country, and in but two of the
countries of the entire globe. Nowhere
in all Europe is ginseng grown, al
though the government of Russia spent
the fortune of a prince in an unsuccess-
full attempt to introduce its cultivation
into that dominion. 1t is more rare
than gold, and seed in the open market
is worth two dollars an ounce. The
value of the annual crop of roots to be
gathered from an acre of ground at
maturity is something more than one
thousand dollars.
Mr.. Page, who is one of the old resi-
dents of Dixon, has always been bot
anist in his way, and he was first led to
think that ginseng might be successful

4 HYGIENIc annsE-

A Dutch physician has Just built what
ne calls a 'hygienic house" The walls
OF this extremely modern and scientific
dwelling are made of parallel plates of
ground glass several inches apart, with
concentrated solution of alum or salts
of soda between them. These plates
are fixed in metal frames, by which
they are built together. The roof Is not
translucent, and Is made of materials
which are impervious to heat. thus
keeping out the sunshine and holding
in the warmth of the rooms The
house is entered by an underground
door, to which stair leads. The air
also enters underground, and passes
through a microbe filter of cotton
wool and glycerine. 1t circulates
through the rooms by means of graft
ings, and escapes under the roof The
house is heated by the sun, except
when stove is found to be necessary.
The salt solutions between the panes
absorbs the heat by day and give it
forth by night In summer the air is
cooled by its passage underground,
and tempers the tropical warmth of the
climate The illumination inside is
diffused from all parts of the walls,
but there are no windows out of which
the inhabitants can look.

effort is to be made to suggest length

supposed to be silk lined, and lining to
match the outer material is rarely to
be used. Black gowns will be lined
with black and white check or stripe,
or with scarlet, green or heliotrope or
bright blue. Plaids will have another
run of popularity. Paradise feathers
will be worn wherever they can be put
this season. Stripe and solid color will
be conspicuous in the summer mater
rails. Cashmere and berages are two
old materials in for revival. The
spring jacket will be short, tight fitting
tailor as to finish, and in covert colors.
Pompadour in all Celebrations and
notifications will be the popular hair

THE CHARTER DRAFT.

A draft of q charter for the city of
New Haven, made in secret by the Lord
knows who, has at last been brought
before the legislature and the citizens
whose local government it is designed
to affect The manner of It's making
is against 1T, to start with, but it should
not be hastily condemned because it
was conceived in secret and brought
forth at about the last minute. 1t
should be fairly treated and fully dis
cussed, and there should be no hurry.
Ample time should be given for its con-
sideration, and public-spirited citizens
should take the interest in it which it
is important they should take. The
present city charter has been very I'M
popular. We do not think it is just
now quite as unpopular as it has been,
for the dangers that may Turk in a
new charter cause some hesitation
about being off with the old one. If a
new one is adopted it must be as good
a one as can be made, and before it is
adopted there must be a certainty that
it is at least better than the old one
And no partisan charter should be
adopted.
AS time goes on, If time is given, the
strong and the weak points of the doc
ument will appear. Our columns are
open to those who discover either
strong or weak points in it and wish
to make their discoveries known to
their fellow citizens. If the document
is sound and right it will endure fair
and honest criticism, and shine all the
more brightly for it. If it isn't the
sooner and more completely it is pick
ed to pieces" the better.
If new charter is to be had the final
action on it should not be taken by the
Legislature, but by the people who are
going to live and move under it, When
the draft is licked into shape it should
DC VOteu ol here. lHeTe Is no reason
that we know of why any Connecticut
city should be deprived of the right of
self-government. The voters of New
Haven can be as safely trusted to de-
eide what is good for them as a COM
mittee that works in secret. They
should have the opportunity to do SO

FASHION NOTES
Don't Mix Blue and Green.

Blue and green as combination of
color is all gone by: you absolutely
must not do it. Bright green is still
used for the lining of skirts of any
color, especially black, but heliotrope
is great deal less common and there
fore prettier. Blue, by itself, is much
used, especially in dancing and party
dresses, and it was very pretty as well
as stylish in the ball dress of the ac-
companying illustration, in whose orig
inal it had a delicate cornfiower shade.
The bodice was simply gathered at the
waist, and its round cut-out was Dor
dered with folds of chiffon of the same
shade sprinkled with chenille dots. Be-

The Children.

No food for the children like the
pure food Seal Boefgrain.
The record up to date is, that every
child who has had it has cried for
more.
But that is not the chief reason why
this is the ideal food for children. Chill
dren do not always know what is best
for them. The chief reason why YOU
should have your children use it is be-
cause you are a father or mother of
good common sense.
Seal Boefgrain is almost entirely
pure protein, that is, it is the flesh
forming, bone-nlaking food.
Not only will it make the flesh firm
and clear and make good teeth, but it
is without doubt the most easily di-
gested food that can be obtained.
Be sure to try it with your children.
You can get it at D. s. Cooper's on
State Street, or of any grocer on State
Street, near Court, or at Fullerton s
Boston Grocery.
