OIL Scattered In the Path of n Vessel
BY Novel Means.

BY Novel Means.
From the Philadelphia Record.
While the process Of quieting the
troubled waters by scattering oil on
the surface has been known and prac-
ticed for long time, there are
constantly new means being devised
for the application Of the oil. The lat
est thing OF this character is the bot
tie gum" which has been invented by
Vice Admiral Guimares. of the Brazil
ian Navy, who proposes TO scatter oil
on the water ahead OF the boat by it's
means. According 10 an English ex-
change the gun is a handy little piece,

4 COURSE IN HOUSEKEEPING.

I advise all you girls to take course | in housekeeping. Learn the simple things that every one is supposed to know how to do, and that just for tins reason are seldom done well. Learn how to make good tea and coffee the latter not in a patent coffee pot, but the good old boiled coffee, that may be made in a tin pail if your French drip or other patent coffee pot is not at hand Practice making biscuit, even if you don't undertake bread, and learn how to make quick mullins and griddle cakes, to bake potatoes and to stew them, to broil a steak or a chop, to boil or poach an egg. Gain a little knowl- edge of soup making and of roasting or stewing. Many a girl can make deli- cious cake and jelly and other sweets who would be filled with eonsternation if she were asked to roast a piece of beef. The cake is very weM in its place, but the substantials stand you better dn the long run.
 Housekeeping isn't all cooking though. The ability to sweep a room is a good thing, and unless you had stud fed the matter, you would not believe how few women know how to dust thor oughly and properly or how to clean nickel and brasses and silver, or to pol ish mirrors and window glass. or to keep lamps in order, or to do many other of the taken-for- granted things that every one is supposed to know.
 How many of you girls can do these things? Who of you would feel that she was able to keep house if the cares of a home were thrust upon her?
 Believe me, my dear girls, it is as no ble and fine business to keep house well as to run a shop or a profession, or a school, or anything else that sounds more important than a home.

PRIMRosEs MINISTRIES.

George Primrose and his big minstrel company will be the attraction at the Hyperion, June 6 and [, and it is said 1t will be the largest and best minstrel organization ever seen. with company of eighty-five people. consisting of eight very funny comedians, a score of highly cultured vocaIists, and an orchestra of forty talented musicians. The first part is decidedly beautiful and impress i've, closing with a magnificent histor- ical tableau. Everything presented is new. bright and funny, and there is not an old joke or act from the start to the finish. The entire performance will be given in black face.

PARTY GAUGUSES CALLED
REPUBLICAHs TO NOMINATE CANDIDATES NEXT MONDAY.

For the Various Omcers of the General
 As.embly-The County, senatorial
 and representative caueuses.
 The republican members-elect Of the coming general assembly have received from Chairman Michael Kenealy of the state central committee notices of the party caucuses which are to be held on the eve of the opening of the session at Hartford.
 The call is as follows:
 The caucuses for the nomination of candidates for the various officers of the general assembly will be held at the capitol Tuesday, January 3. as fol7 lows:
 7p. m-county caucuses. New Ha- ven county. room 26. second floor. east.
 7:So- Senatorial caucus in senatorial chamber.
 S-Representatives' caucus, represen- tatives and senators alike will partici- pate.
 At the senatorial caucus at 7:30 off, cers of that body will be chosen and committees will be named. The clerk | will, according to precedent, be John A. Spafford of Bridgeport, who was clerk ! of the house last session. Who the l president will be is not determined. Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, will be | the presiding officer during the session The greatest general interest by far | will be in the house caucus at o'clock
 at which Judge M. H. HoIcomb of Southiagton will be chosen speaker. l The clerk will be Alfred c. Baldwin of | Huntington, who was assistant clerk l at the last session. The contest of all contests will be over the assistant l clerkship. There are four candidates
 for this position, and the reason that l the struggle is as vigorous as it is, is
 that precedent by which the man is {, chosen assistant clerk is made clerk at the next session, clerk of the senate af- !; ter that, then clerk of bills and finally clerk Of engrossed bills. The salaries I of the positions aggregate $15,O0O. l The candidates are William F. Bar Der of Harwii1ton, the man who sec cnded the nomination of Governor-e elect Roberts; Harold T. Durant of Water bury, formerly a New Haven newspa-
 per man and now a lawyer and maga- zine writer; Alexander Arnott of Man chester and Michael Downes of Wal lingford. The last two were members of the legislature in 1908. MT. Durant has been a member of the. assembly for two terms.

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Thenter.


 The appearance of E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe at the Hyperion theater tonight, in srakespeare's greatest love play, Romeo and JuIiet,,' will be un- doubtedly the great dramatic event of the year. Both are players of reputa- tion and great artistic ability. Great interest will be felt in seeing Mir. Soth- ern as Romeo here for the first time.
 In several of the capitals, including Chicago, New York and Boston, he has been received with a large degree of favor as the ardent Montague, and the return. after long lapse, of Miss Mar lowe to the character of Juliet, in which she formerly ranked so high, will excite anew her host of admirers i in this city. Miss Marlowe has always possessed sweetness and quite all the otehr qualities that are essential for the portrayal of the role, and she now brings to it the ripeness of experience, while still retaining much of her girl ish charm. There is reason to expect much from these two people in this play, and it is believed that expecta, tions will be realized. that treat is really in store for the lovers of Shake, speare, and for the admirers of MT Sothern and Miss MarloWe. We are as ] sured that these worthy stars will be aided by an excellent company, and that the production is the handsomest ever made of Shakespearean play.
 Already the indications are that the house will be thronged.
