REPLIES TO REV J. ii. GEORGE
ON THE QUESTION OF DISTRICT CON-
 SOLIDATION.

Editor BEE: At the town meeting the writer made a motion to indefinite ly postpone the project of uniting Middle and North Center districts. It was seconded by voter in the North Center district, put by the chairman, and was carried by an unmistakable majority; and so declared by the pre- siding officer.
 I am asked why so summarily put the matter aside, andI unhesitatingly do so here: Chiefly because the project had no known sponsors, was indefinite in provisions, it's scope unmeaSured, and it's effects if passed, unknown. It seemed to have no friends in either district other than MT George, so far as could learn, for the signers of the petition to the selectmen asking for the incorporation of the project in the town warning did not appear in the call to give it due weight or prOmi- hence so as to command the attention of the voters. Whether they were parents with children to send, or in prospective, were taxpayers or not was to me unknown. On the other hand I had made canvass of the people of Middle district who send their chil- dren, and all whom I talked with, a majority, were strongly opposed to the
 
 union in North Center either, but on the contrary all whom saw opposed the plan likewise. l consulted with representative men there, and they approved the motion to indefinitely postpone action on the matter at this time. l was glad to find them of a mind with me, and hence the result was to me very satisfactory for l be- lieved, and still believe, that union of the two districts without a plan would be disastrous to the best inter ests of education in Newtown, and l stand ready at any time ito give reasons for the faith that is in me" in this connection. I desire, however, tc give full credit to MT Georges sinceri' ty in the matter. but believe him to be mistaken in his views as to the re. sultant good if his project (if so in. definite a proposition as the one in the call can be dignitied by the name could have succeeded in passing the scrutiny of the friends of public schools in the other districts of the town, present at town meeting. We have already one undigeSte0 load tn the educational system of the town the town High school, which needs { heroic dose of purgatives before we ge further into the mysteries of an un known menu to be served out to us by unknown educational caterers.-LT.

Japan's Empress Popular.

It is doubtful II any royal consort is
more loved by her people than Is the
empress of Japan. Educated accord.
Ing to feudal ideas and skilled In all
the accomplishments BETTING one OF
her social eminence. her majesty
strongly favors the broadness of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages.
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been of deep In.
terest to medical and scientific men,
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under a peculiar men.
tai influence. All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for the simple reason
Of their effect on the recovery of the
soldiers.

To Make a Closet.


To improvise closet put up a Ions
board shelf on iron brackets. Swins
pole or stick under it, attached by
wire to the board. On the pole pu
wire hangers which will slide con
veniently along. Clothing hooks may
be secured into the board. AS for cur
tains, do not box-plait them in, but
put only a box plated or plain rufflt
around the top and hang the curtains
by small brass rings upon wires
placed underneath the edge of the
board and kept there by screw eyes
at the corners and where the curtains
part.
Muslin-covered dressing tables
made from boxes should have the
draperies similarly hung. For these
the box plating should be attached to
the muslin cover of the top. Two OF
these should be made, since the top
will need laundering far oftener than
the draperies.
For a closet like the one described
two boards may be put up, forming a
shelf, under the curtains for hats and
sewing.

Wrong Method Of Teaching.

Hundreds of well-edncated Americans
annually pass through Venice and, al
though probably nine-tenths of them
have had several years Of instruction
In a European language, not one
tenth are capable Of speaking a dozen
connected words of anything but Eng
fish. Even college graduates, fresh
from prize-winning in French or Ger
man, are generally unable to speak
either language. although capable Of
writing an excellent thesis on their

ture. This is the result Of teaching
French and German in much the same
way that Latin and Greek are taught"

PROPER WAY 70 WASH LACE.
Much Care Needed Lest Delicate Fab
rlc Be Injured.

It is advisable, before washing col.
ored silk of any description, to soak
It for a time In cold water, with lit
tie salt In 1t. This will prevent the
color from running.
Wring-or, rather, squeeze-it out
of this, and wash 1t exactly the same
way as white silk, using tepid water
and only working 1t in a lather, not
rubbing it with the soap.
Do It as quickly as possible, as, II
inclined to run, the colors will be
more likely to do so II In the water for
any length Of time. For colored silks
add little ammonia to the rinsing
water In order to Ak the color.
When ironing colored silk, spread
a piece of clean cloth over the iron
ing sheet, SO that II the, color runs 1t
will not mark 1t.
When. black lace becomes shabby
and begins to lose its color, becoming
either brown or green-black, 1t will

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Put few drops of ammonia on a
rag to rub finger-marks from looking
ylasses or windows.
Ether is excellent for removing
grease, but an easy way is to soak the
article in cold water, to which has
been added little borax.
When stewing fruit never use a
metal spoon; a wooden spoon is best
and those with short handles are most
convenient for thick substances.
Patent-leather shoes should be
cleaned with milk. or a little swee,
oil may be rubbed into them. The
soles and heels of such shoes are, OF
course. to be cleaned with backing.
Clothes-pins boiled few moments
and quickly dried, once or twice 8

When loaves are baked in too hot

brown, do not attempt to cut it off
but as soon as the bread Is cold rub II
over with coarse tin crater and re
move all the dark-brown crust.
A black leather travelling bag car

Uses of Masks,

Among the North American Indians
the origin of the use of masks lay"
says writer, "in the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether Of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance. the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew 1t would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"
