THEIR NEW OCCUPATION.

Lilley Is now on the records as Eek
PEELED" but the government treasury
is better off by some 100000 which he
iaved it on naval contracts by opposI
ing single handed the house oligarchy
Reform in the navy yards, which he
agitated to the intense anger of the
members in navy yard districts, is I'M
der way. These things ought to offset
the houses action on Wednesday.
Having finished Lilley the august
house win now resume its work of
skinning the hide from Roosevelt. Lii
ley is in good company.-Waterbury
American.
The house has under Cannon's lead
ership shown that it is opposed to ag-
gressive honesty. 1t has stood great
deal from Roosevelt; but now that he
has only six weeks more of rule, policy
does not require them to quietly sub
nit to any more Of his thrusts and
striking has come to be the fashion
and will be till the end. Is is not as
senseless a battle as it seems and when
the future historian comes to deal with
the issues and the conduct of congress
and the chief executive. Roosevelt is
not likely to suffer much. He stands
before the country and before the
world as a man of honest purpose.

THE ANANIAsEs.

Through the action of the president
and Tillman and others of assigning
their enemies to the Ananias club, the
people are becoming familiar with the
Ananiases of the New Testament, of
whom there were three.
It seems that o clergyman wrote to
Speaker Cannon's private secretary to
say that In and of itself the word
Ananias was meaningless as being
used by the politicians, because there
was a lying Ananias and an Ananias
who was a devout man and kept the
law.
The Meriden Journal Is surprised
that this minister overlooked a third
Ananias, saying there are at least
three Ananiases referred to in the New
Testament, the Ananias who was Sap
phira's husband, the Ananias who lived
in Damascus, and who was a devout
man according to the law and the
high priest Ananias who commanded
them that stood by him to smite him
on the mouth. Then said Paul unto
him, God shall smite thee, thou whited
wall; for sittest thou to judge me aft
er the law, and commanded me to be
smitten contrary to the law?"
The Ananias talked most about by
men was the husband of Sapphire, but
the one who is talked most about in
the New Testament was the good An
anias, who was instructed in a vision
TO Arise and 90 into the street which
is called Straight, and inquire in the
house of Judas for one called Saul,
Of Tarsus; for, behold, he prayeth.
And hath seen in a vision a man
named Ananias coming IN, and putting
his hand on him, that he might re-
ceive his sight"
But The Journal points out that
Roosevelt has made no mistake in
naming his club, as 1.-THE liar who up
on being reproached by Peter for his
hold-out in a certain land deal, fell
down and gave up the ghost He be-
came a dead one, just as in another
sense have many Of those whom Pres
ldent Roosevelt has shown to be
rrooked?"

Easily Done.

Cleaning the entire stock Of family
silver has lost its terror since it has
been discovered that it may be accom-
plished in a comparatively short time
by the use Of soda. Place over the
fire a clean tin dishpan half full of
water; when it has reached the boil
ing point throw in a handful Of or
binary washing soda; put in all the
silver, boil ten minutes to loosen the
tarnish, remove it and wash in hot
soapv water. Some of it may require
a hasty scrub with moistened silver
polish, and all Of it viii need the dry
polish rubbed on with a flannel CLOTH
While this method may be safely
employed for silver, it IS a dubious
process for plated and oxidized ware,
since the very purpose OF It is the
loosening Of the surface coating, be
it dirt or plate. Sterling silver is not
injured by it.
To give silver the antique or satiny
surface which is again in vogue, rub 1t
with old-fashioned bar sand. Ground
corundum IS not bar sand. although
it often passes as such, and is to be
avoided, having a sharpness that may
be detected under a microscope, and
which is much too rough for silver.

LOSING It's PRESTIGE.

Burdensome labor conditions and
sharp competition promise to take
from Brockton, Mass, the repute of
being the greatest shoe town in the
nation Of its population, just as many
years ago the same conditions wrested
1t from Lynn.
Brockton of late has lost eleven large
shoe firms to other towns where shoes
can be produced cheaper and now 9TH
er firms have given notice that they
are contemplating removal because
the labor organizations are maintain
ing a standard wage which makes it
impossible to manufacture the $3.50 and
$3.50 grade Of shoe and pay running
expenses. The factories contend that
the unions are demanding that the
worhmen who make the $500 shoe
shall receive the same compensation
as those employed to produce that
which sells for twice that price. Man
ufacturers make little secret Of the
fact that shoes which sold for three
dollars in 1890 are now selling for
more.
A Boston paper says: While this
exodus has operated promptly, this
IS not TO say IndI IL MS DeeiA d llSllL
matter with the large shoe firms. Most
of them are too deeply rooted in
Brockton to abandon their plants al
together. But that part of the indus
try which is being removed is capable
of damaging the prosperity Of the city
to a serious extent. The threat is not
that in two months or two years
Brockton will be seriously interfered
with, but that the Capitalization of
trade which gave her a certain lead
ership among New England cities viii
have been lost. If this comes to pass,
It will not mean that the coveted title
Of national shoe town will descend
upon another New England city, but
that these industrial prizes will be di
vided among a score of places as they
have already been distributed to
Nashua, Augusta, North Adams, Brain
tree, and so on"
II would be real benefit TO some
Of our eastern Connecticut cities to
capture a few of these shoe factories.
There is no reason why shoes cannot
be made as cheap here as anywhere.

Little girls are wearing a5rfns

ion it is.
The aprons save the wash dresses
as well as the cloth ones, with the vir-
tue of being easier to launder than
cotton frocks
They are made in one piece, and
many Of them are so constructed that
they may be worn as a dress with
separate guimps in warm weather
Most in use for the purpose are the
pretty sheer lawns and plaid muslins,
and the fine linens.
II a more serviceable material is
desired, there are the ginghams.
chambrays, percales and colored lin
ems.
Lace filling is pretty and childish,
but not so serviceable for trimming
neck and armhole as embroidery or
buttonholed scallops.

ON CLOSING THE ScHUOLo FOR
LINCOLN

We note that in one Of our sister
cities it has been determined to close
the public schools on the anniversary
of the birth of Lincoln. We must be
pardoned if we say that we think this
is a mistake. We think, on the con-
trary. that they should be kept open,
and that at least a part of the day
should be utilized in impressing upon
the pupils the salient points in the
great presidents career, and especially
the simplicity Of his character, the
hardships he combatted to win a place
in the world, his patience and industry
and warm -heartedness and many other
qualities of mind and heart which he
eXemplified in so much greater and
more conspicuous measure than we
find them about US in the average
everyday life.
Lincoln was not a man Of pomp. He
lived simply, did his work quietly and
conscientiously and even prayerfully,
and a holiday" aspect given to the
observance of his life and work is es-
sentially, and even sadly, homogeneous
In our humble opinion, to close
schools and turn the children out into
the streets for play, as on a Fourth of
July, is to do the most possible to
make the pupils forget that the day
has any special significance for them.

Stale bread crumbs and dry bread
crumbs are quite different.
Stale crumbs are the crumbs of

over a crater.
They are to be used in buildings and

Dry bread crumbs are the bits of
stale bread dried in the oven until
slightly brown, then rolled on a board
and sifted.
They are to be used as a covering
for dishes which are used IN crumbing
croquettes, oysters, omelets, meat and
fish, or as a covering for dishes which
are to be baked.
