Valuable Lessons.
The Montana Hardware company's
big store was thronged by ladies all
yesterday afternoon, and again to-
day, to see the cooking demonstration
on the Majestic range by Prof. JOS
eph Becker, a noted chef Of st. Louis,
The object of the demonstration is
two fold, first to bring out the super
iority Of the Majestic range, which has
no equal in the world, and to furnish
the ladies with valuable information
in the art of cooking. Prof. Becker
demonstrated to the throng that gen.
orally speaking, about twice as much
fuel was used as necessary, and that
better results could be obtained from
the use of much smaller amount,
The chef turned out a great variety
of cakes and pastry of all kinds, which
was served with coffee, and the lad
les all pronounced the product simply
delicious.
After sampling the cake, rolls, puffs,
etc., the professor was besieged with
requests for receipts and he gave his
formulas to all who wanted them. The
demonstration will continue all of
tomorrow afternoon, and no lady IN
LewistOwn should fail to attend.

VOGUE OF VELVET.

After a summer of silk attire, it
seems that we are to have a winter
of velvet. For those who can afford
such Injuries, the richest silk velvets
will be de rigeuer, the choicest pro-
ducts of the modern looms, made
with what is known as the new soft
finish, and as different as possible
from the old stiff velvets which were
worn so extensively in Victorian
days.
1t is not only in texture, however,
that the new silk velvets excel. Their
c%olorings are also quite exceptionally
lovely, notably the new shades of
dahlia, and petunia, pink lilac, Or
child purple and leaf green.
These darker velvets are intended
chiefly for day gowns of the richer
kind, and they make delightful frocks
for afternoon receptions, arranged
with plain full skirts, flowing out into
a fairly long train and edged very

in the truth of the rumor that Theo-
dore Strong has his eye on the prose-

named as Berdine's successor. The
salary of the prosecutor is $4,000 an

state board of assessors, Mr.. Strong's

be remarked, however, that whatever
may be Berdine's personal and Off

them comes with a particularly poor
grace from either Strong, who COM

Jackson, who would not even take in

Berdine, after Strong and Jackson
had decreed that he must be named.

FRIDAY, 10.
THE I SUPPLY.

Fl 1t is with no little degree of pleas
ure that it is learned that the water
supply secured from the new ground
storage system of wells is so nearly
pure. The State Laboratory of Hy-
giene has examined samples of every
source of water supply Perth Amboy
has. This includes the Eagleswood
pond, Runyon pond, artesian wells
and the ground storage. OF these
the latter is almost absolutely pure
ind Is pronounced equal to any water
being supplied anywhere in the state.
The great trouble with the artesian
wells is the iron. The ponds are this
worst, with the E~agleswood supply
practically unfit for use.
II would seem that a system has al
last been found which is to solve the
water problem for the city. But this
same thing was said when the first
three or four artesian wells were driv-
en-. 1t was not until fourteen arte-
Sian wells had been driven and thou
sands of dollars spent that it was
found that the water would not do.
Ut is to be hoped this ground storage
I system will not result the same way.
There is every reason to believe
>Glat. the water from the ground stor-
age system is pure for it is taken just
as ii percolates through a bed of
sand. 1t is said that thirty-siX such
wells will give a supply of 5000, 900
gallons of water a day and that these
wells will cost $26,665. If they will
do Whist is claimed for them, the
money will be well spent and thus far
the water board would seem to be
justified in proceeding with their
construction.
Perth NSnboy wants pure water,
and plenty of it. The quantity seems
ample, now let's have the quality.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
County Superintendent.

NOilltJ
The State Board of Education has
established a new precedent, and one
which may prove of great benefit to
the public schools. The position of
| county superintendent was vacant in
Ocean county, but nobody there SEEM
ed properly qualified to fill the office.
The state board thereupon went to
Middlesex county, selected Charles A.
Morris, a teacher in one of the Perth
Amboy schools, and appointed him
county superintendent in Ocean. The
new law permits this; in fact, it al
lows the state board to go anywhere
it chooses in order to select the best
man who can be had for the salary.
Before the present law was passed
the boards of freeholders had some
thing to say about the appointment
of school superintendent, and at
times even the state board of educa-
ton was inclined to make the best
choice it could out of the material
that presented itself. A good deal of
politics was mixed up with these APP
pointments, and some of them were
very unsatisfactory. Now the office
affords a fair salary, and the state
board does not have to take whatever
comes; it can search far and wide and
take the best. The Ocean county pre-
cedent would apply with advantage

While these are boiling, give the
ones in the machine some washing,
they will not nee much, and wiring
them out.
If there are any very dirty things,
such as mems overalls and socks,
they can be put in the machine to
soak a while and the less soiled color
ed ones in the tub.
AS soon as the first boiler of cloth
es is taken out into a tub of cold
water, a pail of cold water is added
to the suds in the boiler, also a little
more pearline, and the second lot of
| clothes is put in.
After washing the dirty things
through the machine they are taken
| out and the water drawn off.
The suds and colored clothes from
| the soaking tubs are poured into the
machine and left, while the white
| clothes, both boilers, are put through
two rinses and hung out to dry.
The last rinse is slightly blued
with homemade bluing, which does
not streak or spot the clothes, as so
many of the bought bluings do.
To make this bluing moisten one
package of good blue dye for cotton
| with a little cold water, then pour on
a quart of boiling water to dissolve
the powder, and strain it to take out
an particles that might remain. Put
this liquid in bottles and use the same
as other bottle bluing.
BY the time the white clothes are
out, the colored ones are soaked
enough to become clean with a very
little washing and are put through
the last rinse.
The very soiled ones are washed
through the suds after adding some
of the hot suds from the boiler, then
rinsed and put out to dry, and the
| washing is done.
In this way a large washing is done
| with very little fatigue, n the
clothes are beautifully white and
understanding.

EASY WAY OLE WASHING.

Sort the clothing and put the clean
est in a tub and that which is more
soiled in the washing machine.
Cover them with warm suds, put
on the cover of the machine and
something thick over the tub, then
leave them to soak over night.
If one prefers, they may be soaked
a few hours in the morning instead.
AS 500 as possible in the morning,
wiring out the clothes from the tub
and put them over the fire in a boiler
full of cold pearline suds and LET
them come to a boil and boil briskly
fifteen minutes.

possibly with a finger-width of FUR
mink, or sable for choice. With sucn
| skirts as these the bodices must nee
essarily be of the picturesque persua-
sion.
A velvet corsage which looks par
ticularly pretty with a skirt OF the
simple kind already described is ORA
ped from either shoulder with sof'
folds, which cross as they near the
waist. The fabric is then caretuIiy
draped in the form of a deep swatheu
belt, SO as to give the effect of a prlh-
S robe, although bodice and skirt
finished at tehwrist with a narrow
edging of fur.
For day wear there are some very
effective corduroy v~elvets, in various
useful c~olorings, some with cords OF
the ordinary narrow width, and some
with stripes about half an inch wide.
Then for evening frocks, there are
the loveliest yelvets imaginable, In
pale Dresden china shades, very soft
and delicate, and yet by no means in
sipid in effect, since all the colors are
clear and well defined.
Pale roseleaf pink velvet makes a
delightful dinner gown, with touches
of sable, and draperies of old lace to
outline the decolletage, caught with
a big bunch of dark purple violets.
A certain dinner dress lately design
ed in Sevres blue silk velvet and w
ory-white satin, with a trimming OF
ermine and silver lace, looks equally
well in its way, and will doubtless
suit it's fairhaired wearer to perfec-
ton.

Why We Have Too Many Laws

40 UR whole system of government tends to congestion, s. 1ar

Among the causes of overegiAation are the industrious
and persistent efforts of executive officers to procure Legislation winch
is either agreeable to their parties or to the ideas they represent IS IN

1t was the fundamental idea of the founders of our government
that the three branches of it should be KEPT DISTINCT, with
certain well defined and understood differences. The executive ofhcer
might legislation, but it was assumed that any
interference on his part to COMMAND it would not only be gong
beyond his powers, but would also excite resentment. Now, however,
this idea has gone to the limbo Of other beautiful, BUT DEAD,
ideals.
