Careful observers Of the legislative
actions of the Board of Supervisors
at their regular meeting last night
were Messrs. Jim Quinn, w. H. Me
Clellan and w. A. Kane, supervisors in
embryo, who wanted to watch the
wheels go round in preparation for
the time when they themselves will
be at the throttle With Cox and
Fern present as members of the Board,
this gave five out of the eight of the
next Board on hand last night at the
opening of business, while William Ay
lett also drifted in before the business
of the evening had developed very
fully.
The meeting proceeded slowly, rou-
tine matters of accounts and county
officers reports taking up dull hour,
although the soon-tobe members of
the Board listened to the accounts and
reports with rapt attention and the
old members preserved a bored atti-
tude calculated to impress.

Apathy in Local Administration.

For general apathy in local affairs
We need only to bark TO the special
town and village meetings Monday
morning when about one per cent. of
the voters gathered TO vote on one OF
the most important questions that will
come before the municipality this year.
Twenty-one voters out OF over 1000
attended these meetings and decided
how our taxes should he collected. The

were sprung upon them as warnings
were posted all over town and the
meetings advertised in both local papers
for two weeks. Such a, condition of

To Select Ostrich Plumcs

The quill should be one continuous
piece, smooth, glossy and pliable.
The fues must be wide, pliable, and
eye.
When buying black ostrich plume
always be careful to select the one with
the finest gloss.
Dull blacks and brown blacks indicate
q poor quality of plume or poor dyeing.
If it is the latter, the plume may be
redipped, but if it is the former, it is
no good, except for lining, and poor lin
ling at that.
A good plume, properly worn, should
last five years, at least. ~.
This allows for one curling a year
and one-possibly two-redippings if
the plume was originally light color.
A good black plume that has been
properly recurled will be pretty old and
have seen lot of wear before it will
need to be redipped.
One reason why many good black
plumes lose their color and g'oss is that
they are scorched when being recurled.
The only remedy for this is a bath
in the dye pot, and oftener than not
the result is only rusty black.
If person hasn't the time pa
thence to curl her own plumes, she
should be particular to get skillful
repairer.
The most popular and useful ostrich
feather is the eighteen-inch plume in
black.
Get the best grade, recurl it carefully
yourself or have it done by skillfur
repairer, and you will have your mon
ey's worth of wear from it.
