Walls Covered With Enamel,

Use enameled cloth on kitchen and bathroom walls. If the walls are rough-fnished it can easily be pasted on them. Make a paste the same as for wallpaper. Put a thin layer on back of cloth, and put in place on the wall. Rub smooth with a dry cloth, using a good deal of pressure.

SOME EspoNsIBILIrr.

An interesting decision, holding a
 newspaper responsible for wrongly ad-
 vising a reader who asked fer financial advice, has just been given by Lord Chief Justice Alverstone of England. The defendant was c, A. Pearson, one l of whose publications invites it's read CTS to apply to the city editor for fnan-
 cial guidance The plaintiff accepted the invitation and was sent to an out side stock broker, to whom he entrust- ed $IOOO for investment The money
 was never invested, and the lord chief justice, in his decision, ordered MT.
 Pearson to repay the full amount to the plaintiff.
 This is food for thought. There aren't
 many, if there are any papers in this country that openly invite people to
 come to them for financial guidance
 but there are many that tell people how to be happy though married, how
 to get married, how to make good com
 plexions, good cakes, etc., etc. Can such papers be held responsible for the advice they give, and for their assump-
 ton of infallibility? If they can there is a chance for shrewd folks to make some money by acting on their advice and then suing them for damages.

u111 THE DEMAND AppEARg

The talk about change in the way of selecting county commissioners and judges of city and borough courts cons
 tinues, and there are some indications
 that all of it will not be as polite as it
 has been. This is regrettable, but free
 people will talk, you know, and some
 of them will say what they mean. But
 if the Governor was accurate in his message a change may be. coming. He said: There is no doubt that a ma jority of the voters of the State, ire spective of political affiliations, demand that the law concerning the selection of county commissioners, judges of city and borough courts be changed." This is pretty positive assertion, and in- dicates knowledge. So we may perhaps expect that the demand" the Gov- ernor spoke of will make itself noticed pretty soon. So far it has not been conspicuous, but that may be because interests" "a trucking press" etc., etc, haven't given it fair show. It should have a fair show, and we hereby invite any of the free people around here who are demanding change in the way of selecting county commis- sioners and judges of city and borough courts to use our columns to make their demand known. We only ask that the demand be made with reasonable po- liteness, and we shall not balk at re- formed spelling and punctuation.

WOMAN IND CHILD 1ABoR.

The movement for the appointment of woman factory inspector in Con- nectlcut Is making encouraging pro- gress, and will in all probability be successful, as 1t ought to be. It is interesting to notice that a bill au- thorizing the Secretary of Commerce and Labor to investigate and report upon the industrial, social, moral, ed- ucational and physical condition of woman and child workers in the Unit ed States has just been passed by Congress and will be signed by the President
 According to the twelfth census of 1900 the number of women and children engaged in gainful occupations in the United States was 5,0t0,SS6. Of this number 2,O95,449 were engaged in do- mestic and personal service, leaving B. 22S,S77 in agriculture professional ser vice, trade, and transportation, and in manufacturing. Women are found in all but eight of the 3OS kinds of em- ployment scheduled by the census. The number of children between 10 and 15 years employed in 1900 was 1,75O,17S, of whom 4S5,767 were females.
 The investigation planned will be productive of good. We shall have some facts to base opinions on, and we shall know something concerning the extent ard consequences of wom- an and child labor in this country.

BETTER MUNICIPAL GOVERN


 Shall the city of Boston go back tc the town form of government and be ruled by selectmen? That Is the change that President Eliot suggests and he Is an authority whose views cannot be scoffed at no matter how radical the change he suggests There is certainly great need of some radical change in the city govern ment of Boston since the debt is piling up without any apparent improve ment.
 What is true of Boston in this re- spect is also true of other cities. It is true of Lowell for is not our tax rate rising? Are not our revenues falling and the general results unsatisfactory !? To revert to the system of town gov ernment would be perhaps too much of a jump. Unfortunately it Is not quite as easy to find honest officials in city as in a town. To adopt Presi- dent Elliot's suggestion we presume is out of the question, so complex has the administration of our affairs be- come. but it is certain that some change must be made and made soon if we are not to continue going from bad to worse

Information received by the govern ment from various Greek provinces in- dicates that the emigration to America is increasing. A committee of deputies has been appointed to look into the matter, and it is probable that meas ures will be adopted to restrict and lim- it emigration from Greece. It is esti- mated that by the end of the year the number of those who have expatriated themselves will reach 20,000. Hitherto emigration has taken place principally from the Peloponnesus, but it is now spreading to Central Greece, to Thessa- ly and the islands.

NOT ALL SATISEIEn-

All the Germans are not as satisfied with Germany as their Emperor is. Herr Maximilian Harden thus summar- izes what he says on the leading ques- tions which now occupy the German popular mind. "The German people" :" he says, lis not free, since the institu- tions under which 1t lives are not ade- quate to Its needs, and it is not govern ed by men whom relentless process of selection has proved most fitted for such task" He then proceeds to point out that the political institu- tions of Germany date back to time when the manifold development of modern Germany was undreamed of Excellent as these institutions may have seemed in the eyes of past gener- ations, they have now been superseded, he says, by new and larger ideas. New wine cannot be put into old bottles. and the new spirit must be provided with new political environment in which to develop. In conclusion, he asks: '"Is the German less mature or less capable than the Latin or the An glo-saxon, the Scandinavian of the North or the Slav of the South? The diligence of his brain and of his hands has won for his country power, and has already all but gained wealth for it as well, These achievements give him the right freely to mould his des- tiny as he pleases.

AN AFTERNOON EUcHRE.

A party of friends banded together not long ago with the avowed purpose of weekly meetings for pleasure. These soon resolved themselves into elchre parties, as all were fond of the game All was well till various hos- tesses view with one another in trying to serve quite elaborate menus. A re- action soon occurred and it was de- cided that at these gatherings the re- treatments should be of simple char acter and limited to four articles. Thsi proposition has worked so well that other women may wish to fol- low the same plan and three menus actually used are here given. They would prove equally suitable for any informal afternoon or evening gather ings of a small club or circle of friends. No attempt was made to lim-s it the cost from the idea of simplicity.
