curious little book exists, written about hundred years ago, when ponu- lar opinion on the subject was already undergoing modification, by "lady of distinctions" who preferred to remain anonymous, but is vouched for by the editor as specially entitled by position and experience to receive a respectful hearing, which, dealing with the art of costume, includes advice on the proper use of cosmetics. By this authority white paint, together with enamel. is unconditionally condemned from the standpoint of morals and taste alike: while, on the other hand, "a little vege- table rouge" is permitted, for the pur- pose of "tingeing the cheek of a delicate woman," so long as it is not employed for the purpose of deception. What need is there, indeed" asks the writer. for any concealment in the matter?' It seems to me- she continues. 'sso slight and innocent apparel for the face Ca k'nd of decent veil thrown over the cheek) # that I cannot see any shame in the most ingenious female ac- KnoWledglng that she occasionally rouges. The one article of rouge is, however, the single species of positive art that, according to this somewhat arbitrary judge, woman of integrity can permit herself, white enamel, paint ed lips, and pencilling of the eyebrows only exciting contempt for the bad taste and blindness which deems them passable. .'-Miss Ida Taylor in the Nineteenth Century

Three Received Yesterday-Bids Too
 High and No Contract Awarded-An-
 mnnl Meeting of WaIlIngford Agri-
 cultural Society Held Tuesday. The bids for the contract to make the proposed changes in town hall
 building on the upper floor were open
 ed yesterday at noon. There were three
 bidders as follows: J. E. Downs, $1,62S; Peter Lacrosse, $1,765; C. F. Wooding
 $1SS1. As the figures are all above the appropriation of $1,3OO, which was vot- ed at the recent special town meeting the contract was not awarded to any of the bidders. At the time the propos- ed changes were contemplated it was ascertained from one of our local build CTS who figured on the estimated costs of the improvement and placed the f1S- ures at less than $1 ,300 which sum was considered sufficient to do the work, and in consequence all that was asked for as an appropriation was $1,300, which was considered sufficient As the three bids are largely above the appropriation voted the selectmen do der the contract It is probable that some changes will be made in the plans and specifications so as to induce the bidders to put in figures below or with ing the appropriation.
 The annual meeting of the Walling- ford Agricultural society was held Tuesday evening. The report of the treasurer, John F. Stevenson, showed the society had over $500 in cash in the treasury.

GEO. |. F0X'S EXPLAIN ALTON
Continued from First Page,


 Referring to your statement about the salaries of supervisors, l would call your attention to the fact that in the list of special teachers printed on page 100 of the report of the board of educa- : tion for 1890 there are included Manual Training school John Purcell, $900. Cooking school, Emma Poison, $500. Neither of these teachers appear in the list of instructors printed on page 131 of the report for 1885 but both subjects are included in the list of teachers in the Boardman Manual Training school on page 130 of the report for 1895, the expense for both subjects being $1,900. As both of these teachers had grammar school pupils in the afternoon at the Boardman school, part of their salaries should be added to the cost of special instructors for 1895.
 Going more into detail, the cost of drawing teachers in 1890 was S2,400, in 1895 $2, 750. The cost of sewing teachers in 1890 was $650, in 1895 1.250 The cost of penmanShip teachers in 1890 was nothing, in 1895 $900 You will see from these facts, which are printed in the annual reports, that your statement about the cost of special instructors in 1895 was erroneous.
 l also wish to call your attention to the fact that in both 1890 and 1895 spe- cial teachers who are not supervisors are included.
 You said that the expense under MT. Kendall for supervisors is $12,550 In the report for 1898, page 150, is the list of supervisors and special teachers. The salaries foot up $11,550 This in- cludes $1,500 for teachers of grammar school pupils who are not supervisors.
 The salaries of supervisors and spe- cial teachers for this school year amount to $9,10O, including $55O for teacher of cooking of grammar school pupils who is not supervisor.
 One very large item in the increased cost of the schools at the present time over 1890 and 1895 is the expense of the Boardman school, which last year cost for all expenses nearly 24,0OO, and another the opening of number of kindergartens, both of which were de- manded by the people,
 1 notice also in the report of your statement to the committee, that you say there has been an increase of about 1-2 per cent. in the number of pupils registered and an increase of 35 per cent. in the current expenses. Either you have made a serious mis- take CT the papers have not reported you correctly.
 The average number of pupils regis tered in our schools last year was 14,- 64S an increase of nearly 25 per cent. over the number registered in 1890. I would also like to call your atten- ton to the fact that in 1890 there were 31S teachers employed, in 1899 there were 42S
 In 1890 there were 264 school rooms; in 1899, 346.
 l make all of the above statements to

you believing that you wish to have all the real facts in the case.
 Very truly yours

l
 Very truly yours,
 G. T. HEWLETT, Clerk Board of Education. On MT. Hewlett's letter make these comments:
 He acknowledges that I am correct in my figures as to MT. Dutton's admin istraton. AS to that of Superintendent Curtis, he says that I should take of the interest charge of $15, 47S,73 and ado somewhat-I do not know how much for other expenses for a month and half In that case the difference be- tween the actual figures and the figures which have quoted Is not great. As to Superintendent Kendalls ad- ministration, I turned for my figures to the last report for the year ending December 31, 1898, I found on page 1E of Clerk Hewlett's report that the total expenses were $2O6 774.02. This seemed to me a blunder. So I turned to the budget of the board of finance, passed December 5, 1898, for the year 1S99 knew that the estimates of the school commissioners had been tightly squeez- ed by the board of finance, and l con- cluded that by taking it's figures should not get far from the actual eX- pendtures for 1S9S This I put at $3S3,- 900, and MT. Hewlett puts the actual expense at $373 353lS 80, about $9,500 less than the figures I gave. In justice also to MT. Hewlett ought to say, as to the item on page 15 of $206, ,774.02, that it was my blunder, not his, since it referred only to the expenditures for five and q half months of 1897.
 MT. Hewlett is also right in saying that the expense for supervisors and special teachers is $11 ,550 and not SIP, $50, as I claimed. It was mistake in add ing on my part and is not absolutely my fault. Superintendent Kendall has a method different from his predeces- sors, and not wholly commendable. of putting down the salaries paid without printing the total under each head. Un- der MT. Curtis or MT. Dutton one could tell at a glance what the total expense for each school was. Under Superin- tendent Kendall In order to find that out one must carefully add up the columns in order to get the totals. In making that computation for supervisors l made mistake of thousand dollars.
 In contrasting 1890 with 1898 I made mistake of s10oO on supervisors and So, 800 on current expenses. In compar- ing registra tion I compared the total number registered and not the average number registered. The total number registered in 1890 was 15,573; in 1898, 16,- 559 The increase is 9S6. Six and one half per cent. of 15,573 is 1.112.
 In conclusion, wish to make one other contrast as to our financial con- dition between the last year of MT, Duttons administration and 1898 in or der to show whither we are drifting. It will be a contrast of bonded indebted ness and interest charge on account of schools In 1890 the total indebtedness, according to MT. Plunketts report, was s230, 900, and the annual interest charge at four per cent. was $9, 200 In 1898 the debt had trebled, being s700,000 and the annual interest charge had also trebled, being, according to the last budget of the board of finance, $2S,000.

WOMEN OF A DUTCH VILLAGE.

WOMEN Of A DuICI1 lLLAIE.
 Mevrouw is monarch of the house. hold, and not the tiniest speck of dirt dare assert itself as long as she is able to weld mop or brush. No footprint is tolerated even in the yard outside of the house, and before crossing the threshold all are compelled to take off their klumpjes (wooden shoes) and leave them on the outside. The women take special care to keep the tips of their white lace hoods stiff with starch, which is as necessary to perfection in their toilet as polished linen and spotless col lars with ours. This delicate hood is worn over black skull cap that its the closely clipped head very much like the headgear of a nun. The elderly women, widows, often wear straw bonnet over it. A jacket of dark blue, with breastpiece of cream cloth and dark blue border of the same cloth at the hips, constitutes the dress or the women and the girls.
 The skirts protrude at the hips in a grotesque fashion on account Of the many f1annes which they wind about the body, evidently a fad with them as with many peasants of the Black Forest where the custom prevails to wear as many skirts as the spare box will al low, adding at least one skirt every year. They all dress alike, and the talk about dress therefore does not slip into their conversations, and on that score they are at eternal peace with one another, for no change of dress has occurred among them for centuries, and will not for years to come.--Donahoe's

MAGNALIUM, A NEW ALLOY.

MAGNALIUM, A NEW ALLOY.
 Dr. Ludwig Mach has successfully al- loved aluminium with magnesium, and thereby obtained compound which can be worked like brass, and which is lighter still than aluminium. These two metals are fitted for union, Their den slties are: Magnesium, 1.75; alumi- mum, 2.75; they both melt al eight hun dred degrees Centigrade, and their di- lations amount to 0023 and 0.027 milli- metres per metre and per degree Gen. tigrade. The metalurgical properties depend upon the composition of the all Joy. A ten per cent. magnesium alloy resembles zinc, a fifteen per cent. alloy is like brass, and twenty-five per cent like compound bronze. The alloys can be soldered, it is stated, though that point does not appear to be fully settled, keep well in dry and damp air, and give good castings The well known scientific instrument maker Fuess speaks favorably of some mag nalium samples, with from ten to twelve per cent. of magnesium, sub mitted to him. The alloy is almost as white as silver, and sufficiently hard to cut aluminium with a sharp edged piece of magnalium It can be turned, bored, etc. quite as well as brass, and clean and neat threads of quarter of mil limetre pitch can be cut with ease. It does not file so readily as brass, but Is superior in this respect to copper, zinc and aluminium. Magnalium is suitable for lens mountings, and would make good divided circles and arcs for in- struments in which lght weght is con sideration. If bought by volume 1t Is a little less expensive than brass but the statements concernng the strength of this new alloy, made by the Magnalium company, of Berlin, are said not to be of any practical ue-Engineering.
