The blood vessels on the front of

influences, because the skin covering
them is so thin, and thus it can easily
be understood that such exposure to

For the same reason cold drauphts
on the back of the neck, where again

YARD THOROUGHLY.
In the Spring Woman's Thoughts
Should Turn to Outside as Well .
as Inside of House. I,

NO housekeeper needs urging to be-
gin housekeeping in the spring, for it
seems to be in the blood of all women
TO want to tear things out" with the
nrst breath of warn weather. 1t is
very essential that the house should
be purified and cleaned, but there is
danger that in the devotion to the
ped and living rooms the most impor-
tant ask of all may be forgotten. 1t
Is hard work to clean in hot weather,
out better that han to neglect the
1901 yard till the last for it is here
that the first and best work should be
done.
A good housekeeper was to move
with her family to a new home last
year and it happened that the farm
mouse had been occupied by a very
shiftless family. Don't you lust
dread that house?" a friend asked her.
blu she quickly replied: Il can clean
the house, but the yard is filthy" The
clean family set to work to renovate
things ana this is the way they did it.
The back yard was plowed just as deep
as possible and the garden planted to
the very kitchen porch. The Old soil.
redolent with filth, was combed by the
sharp rake of the accumulation of
years, and whatever could be burned |
was speedily turned into smoke and
ashes. Then the old cans and bottles
n broken dishes were raked into a
ueep trench and the whole smoothed
over. The garden was wonderfully pro-
ductive that year and the next before
a nne 500 was started, but the new
mistress said she usually ate the vege-
tables with a little shudder when she
recollected that back yard.

CARE OF MATTRESSES.
Turn Frequently to Give Equal Wear
and Keep Well Mended and
Free from Dust.

Inc object Of a two-part mattress is

distributed, so that there is no m
comfortable depression upon one side
or end such as is caused by allowing
the mattress to stay for days at a
time in the same position. If Won

over or around each day, letting the
smaller section be placed at the head
for awhile, then changed to the foot
and turned as religiously as the other
part.

NOT 4 WISE SPOKESMAN.

Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad, and it does seem as if
some Of the representatives Of the meat
packers had lost their sense of proper
ton. For instance, one of their legal
spokesman is quoted as talking this
way: 1t is certain that if Roosevelt re-
mains leader of the Republican party
the big capitalists will be afraid to
make contributions to campaign funds.
If it becomes necessary to abandon the
Republican party, Democrat leaders are
always ready to adopt reasonable meas
ures. A conservative Democratic ele-
ment supported by the great capitals
tic interests would quickly become as
powerful as the Republican party has
been. The packers believe the issues Of
the next campaign will be between the
consumer who wants to gain at the loss
of capitalists and the united business
interests Of this country.
The packers ought to muzzle this
man. The "hint' that the Democratic
party is ready to be used by "the great
capltalistic interests isn't very smart,
nor Is the statement that the packers
believe that the issues of the next cam
paign will be between the consumer
who wants to gain at the loss OF capt.
talists and the united business interests
OF the country. The consumer is sore
enough now and such a statement as
that isn't likely to soqthe him 1t Will
be wise for "the united business inter-
ests of the country" If there is any
such thing, to be at least polite to the
consumer just now.

What to do with male bachelors is

are no good, and they know 1t. They
should be driven into matrimony or out
of the world, but we are so kind nova
days that we suffer them to exist with
out punishment other than that which
they bring on themselves. This is
heavy in some cases, but it is never
heavy enough. The time will come
when they will have to change their
ways, and occasionally there is one now

something to ease his conscience, A

LYNDE HARRINON.


There is no reason IN such a world as
this for being surprised by the an
'nouncement of the departure from it of
this one or that one, and yet those who
knew Lynde Harrison will feel surprised
by the announcement Of his death. He
was so active mentally and physically,
SO interested in men and things, and in
such apparently good health, that no
body thought Of the cessation Of his
activity and interest.
For over forty years Mr.. Harrison
has been a conspicuous and influential
figure in Connecticut affairs, and for
many years he has been conspicuous
and influential figure In affairs both in
and out Of Connecticut. AS a lawyer
he has had to do with many large and
important matters all over the country,
he has been prominent as a political
counsellor and manager, and his influ-
ence has been felt in both national and
international movements of various
kinds. No man in Connecticut, and
perhaps none in the country, had more
or more accurate knowledge Of public
men and public affairs, and no man
knew better how to use his knowledge.
His record as a member Of the Con-
necticut legislature for several years,
and Speaker of the House in 1881, was
record of unusual efficiency and use
full achievement. He won honorable
fame as Judge. He was always ready
with tongue or pen in support OF the
causes he believed in, and he was a
powerful help to any cause which he
espoused. His large knowledge, his
quick wit his great experience and his
restless energy enabled him to plan and
execute in a way that often left oppo-
nents startlingly behind. In the days
when he was most active in politics and
legislation he was easily a leader be-
cause of his readiness and skill. Many
times in an emergency before others
had had time to form plan he had
formed one and put it through.
Mr., Harrison was a sociable, pleasant
man. He was very interesting talker,
and his wide experience with and
knowledge of men and things IN this
and other countries made his talk I'M
commonly instructive as well as pleas
ing. He was thoroughly tactful and
skillful in peacemaking. He was help
full to many in many ways, and the
news of his death will enliven a sense
of gratitude to him in many hearts. He
was hopeful, and believed that on the
whole the world was gaining in the
right direction. Lately he had been
actively engaged in working for inter-
national arbitration. In his death that
good cause loses a strong helper, and
Connecticut loses one of her most dis
tinguished citizens.
