There will be a mass meeting Of the

DR.. M. n. ScanIon was one of the
speakers at the annual reunion and
banquet of the Middletown High school
Tuesday evening. The Middletown
Press says:
DIR. M. H. Scanlon, 80. Of Wester-
ly. wos given the toast "41144," and
related a string of stories and Incl
dents that kept his audience laughing
while he had the floor. In conclusion
he spoke seriously in favor of moral
suasion rather than drastic measures
in getting hold of and holding the heart
of a boy. Quiet talks, he thought, more
apt to win boys than public reproof."

these children the attorney general will
endeavor to secure it to the state for
the care Of said children.

SCHEME OF PANsY DECORATION
Charming Novelty for the Next Lunch.
con You May Give.

A decoration for a luncheon that is
seldom seen, yet which may be made
very charming, is a low silver bowl
filed with pansies in all colors. If the
stems are not specially long, a piece
of wire netting can be placed over the
top of the bowl and the pansies stuck
in 1t.
The effect is enhanced if the bowl
is set on a large, round mirror sur
rounded with border of small ferns.
At each plate have a small pot of
growing pansies, which may later be
given as souvenirs. These look well
if the pots are set in small paper cases
made of stiff cardboard covered with
silver paper.
Should there be a guest of honor,
her plants may be larger than the 9TH
er, or the case can be a small silver
jardiniere.
The candle shades should carry out
the predominating tones of the
pansies. Silver candlesticks should be
used if possible. Effective shades can
be made of white paper garlanded
with artificial DansieS,

When uainu = Nlaht Lamp.

The fumes of coal oil are more or
less injurious at any time, and in a
sick room are particularly bad for the
invalid. If possible gas or electric
night lamp should be substituted, but
when this is out of the question it is
well to buy a small light and let it
burn at full head, rather than turn
down a larger wick.
In turning down lamp the con.
sumption is only partial and the fumes
are doubly injurious, besides the dan
ger Of unpleasant smoking. Care
should be taken that the wick is long
enough and is rubbed off to an even
edge.
Never set the light where it shines
in the patients eyes or close enough
to the bed that it can be knocked off
a table by sudden restless movement
of the sick one.

TO TELL WHEN MEAT is DONE.
Scientific Device Worthy a Place in
Every Kitchen.

Cooks are accustomed to cut into a
piece of meat when cooking, to prod
vegetables with a fork, and to use
similar primitive methods of ascertain
ing the stage to which the roasting or
boiling process has advanced. The
first really scientific device to mea-
sure the temperature inside a piece of
cooking food has recently been invent
ed in Copenhagen, Denmark. 1t is
called "thermo needle" and consists
of a thin metal tube, pointed at one
end and containing spring held in
tension by an alloy melting at a speci-
fed temperature, which is that de-
sired for cooking. The melting of this
alloy releases the spring and shoots up
pin as signal that the desired tenn
perature. exists in the interior of the
food into which the needle has been
thrust. AS the instrument is with
drawn, the pin is pushed down and
held while the fusible alloy "sets,'
when the device is ready for use again.

pie. I put cinnamon through the mid
die and again over the top of the
apples. Then pull the paste up over
the apples, letting it pucker or come
as it will, only don't let it meet. If
there is too much paste cut it out so
there will be hole in the center as

There is also a little flask of brandy.
The hostess, counting noses, puts into
the wide-mouthed bowl a lump Of
sugar for each person, then the
cloves, cinnamon and orange peel.
Over this little brandy is poured,
which is then lighted and allowed to
burn until the alcohol has all disap-
peared. During this burning it must
be occasionally stirred. AS soon as
the flame has disappeared the coffee,
black and strong is poured in until the
bowl is full. A final stir and this is
ladled out into after dinner coffee

FIeur-de-LIs Buttonholes.

When the fashions for ornamental
buttonholes began it was argued that
they would run the gamut of shape.
They are now doing it.
From the straight buttonhole made
of satin, velvet and braid we now have
all manner of designs up to the fiuer-
de-lis which is put on dressy frocks
whether they are made in blouse or
coat suits.
The shape is quite attractive and
adds striking finish to an otherwise
plain costume. Care must be taken
not to dab many on injudiciously for
the tendency to-day is to overtrim.
Use these buttonholes as trimmings.
Do not add them to other varieties.
