The Connecticut State Register is a
mighty handy book and no newspaper
Office would be complete without it.
The Manual for 1902, just received,
seems more comprehensive than ever.
This very useful work Of reference has
grown steadily for several years past,
until the present edition appears with
nearly 900 pages All of the familiar
departments of the volume are retain
ed and there are valuable additions in
the vote on the constitutional amend
ment, the roll OF the convention, and
various state boards and commissions.
Several miscellaneous societies are
printed for the first time, and a mark
ed innovation is the adding of the list
Of licensed dentists, following the
medical list. The book is carefully
compiled and printed by the Case
lockwood 3 Brainard Company with
binding in the conventional red CLOTH
cover. THE BEE is indebted to Towr
Clerk HOulihan for copy.

FRIEN DSHIP.
Blest bond OF friendship dear,
Binding, by ties sincere,
Fraternal hearts.
We seek for others veal;
For sorrows tears we feel.
The sick we strive to heal.
By kindly arts.
LIES road would thorny be
Without the ministry
OF heaven-sent friends;
So love we unity,
Sweet songs of love supply
And, as Odd Fellows, vie
For holy ends.
Loves river, deep and strong,
Bears on it's placid breast
The ships of life, which, sailing far,
Reach harbor and Gods rest.
In love, as brothers dear,
We seek to bless mankind,
Dispelling hate and craven fear
The shadows of the mind.

sylvania, who, according to dispatch
In the New York Times, have formed
a corporation for the purpose Of keep

The price is to remain at four cents

Diamond Rubber Co., the India Rubber
Co., and the Hartford Rubber Works
Co.. said contracts to last during the
life of the leading patent. Subsequent

position has been apparent on the part
of the other rubber companies to enter
the trade on their own account, espe-
cially since the demand for vehicle
tires has become so great.
The b. +. Goodrich Co. informs the
India Rubber World: 1--WE first com,
menced to manufacture tires for The
Rubber Tire Wheel Co. early in 1894.
For some years we were the exclusive
manufacturers. Our relations with
The Rubber Tire Wheel Co. and the
successors, The Consolidated Rubber
Tire Co., have always been very close
and friendly. Now that the Circuit
court of appeals has declared the
Grant patent void, we propose to mar
ket these tires ourselves. We will also
market the Firestone side wire tire,
which we consider fully equal to the
Kelly tire. We will have branches or
connections for applying our tires IN
all the principal cities. Heretofore,
we have confined ourselves to manu-
featuring tires for The Consolidated

us in this fight, and very naturally we

wise.
Veranda shades are growing in popu-
larity and each year finds more of
these useful appliances sold. Hereto-
fore bamboo shades imported from
China and Japan, made in fancy color
ings and designs. were the proper
thing, but this year finds an improve
ment in a novelty-shades made of
strips of linden wood. These shades
are now made to roll up in the same
manner as a window shade and the
newest rolling device has rope and
pulley adjusting arrangement.
The demand for porch furniture Is
also on the increase, and the demand
this year is almost double that of
last. The cause for this is found in
the fact that the people live more out
of doors than they did many years
ago, and all residences of any preten-
tions at all are equipped with
large verandas, which call for furni-
ture of this kind, if their object is to be
fulfilled. As usual, there are all sorts
of furniture and there is something to
suit all tastes, but the really stylish and
proper thing in porch furniture this
year is made in the rustic style and of
silver maple wood. Chairs may be
purchased from S1.25 TO So apiece,
while settees cost from $3.50 to $40
apiece.
The one-time popular porch swing
and canvas chair has been supplanted
by the hammock. which not only rep
resents the essence of comfort bur, as
now made, is highly ornamental Ham,
mocks are made with fringes and tas-
sells, extension pillows and deep val
ances, while the colorings, running
for the most part into rich oriental
shades, are more brilliant and beauti-
! full this year than ever before. Tie
very new thing is a scotch plaid. An
other thing which would be novelty
to our grandfathe"T and mothers Is
the canopied frame which can be NOV
ed from place to place and from
which the hammock is swung, The
canopy is made of the same material
las the hamIuocls and with cologs to
match.

SUMMER COMFORTS.
Screens, Awnings. Hammocks, Etc, Are Now
Deemed Necessity.

AS the days grow longer and warm
er, those pests which are the bane of
all es-f1ies-awake from their
winter slumbers and again come buz-
zing around. In days past when pres
ent day necessities were luXures, the
careful housekeeper placed mosquito
netting at her windows, while the
doors for the most part stood wide
open: and she who had wire screens
at doors and windows was as. much
envied as the possessor of $50 bon
net.
In these days poor indeed is she who
has not wire screens at every door and
window in the house, and in fact at
every loop-hole through which the
cleverest and most prying fly might
gain admittance to the forbidden pre-
cincts. to mar windows and mirrors
and wall paper and make life a bur
den to the rightful occupants. Few
but slide screens are sold now-a-days,
and they may be purchased all the way
from II cents to 45 cents, according
to the size. Door screens may be pur-
chased from IS cents to 81, the more
expensive ones being made of oak
and wire with extra panels and spin
dies, brackets and double corners.
Awnings are another one-time luxury
which is fast becoming a necessity.
A few years ago it was very unusual
to see awnings at the windows and
verandas of private residences, but
their absence is now the exception.
Five years ago awnings for private
houses were made to order only, while
now they can be purchased, adjustable
as to size. and ready for the window.
Drill awnings in the regular awning
stripes in blue and white are the most
popular and can be purchased accord
ing to size from $1.25 to $3.75. A
house fitted out with awnings is not
only deliciously cool, but presents a
handsome appearance, the awnings
being ornamental rather than other
