As A SUBSCRIBER VIEWS IT.

The names of subscribers are com ing in for the Jubilee book of the 250th anniversary as fast as The Bulletin anticipated that they would. This book ks essential to the proper completion sf the event, and it's publication was assumed by The Bulletin as a matter of civic pride rather than as a specu- Fntive enterprise There is no money sa 1t for the printer. One citizen has vrdered "A copies and one 10, and shese are the only large individual srders.
 An order from a New York subscrib- pr, who has no other interest than the Interest awakened by few years of residence here, reads:
 "PIease have my name put down tor sne of the celebration books. ! want It for two reasons; First, want to be able to read the whole thing and ptudy the pictures at my leisure; sec snd, it is an inVestment-your two dollar book VIII pc m oemaho at 9o CT better before you and get through SslIins things. There are people liv- Ina in Norwich now who won't order and whose children will be begging for copies at any price in 1e2s.'
 This is the truth. If The Bulletin soes not print an edition larger than zoo copies, the book may be in such gemand that 1t will go to a premium Ut once.
 No agents will be sent out to solicit orders, because that would add to the sost of the edition. Names of subscrib- CTS should be sent in to the business manager of The Bulletin.

THE PRICE OF MILK.

It matters not what the price of milk is, the fact has to be admitted that the milkman has to earn his money; and majority of the kickers would decline to do his work for the money there is in it.
 The early rise in price was to have been expected. A SouthingIon farmer states the case well when he says:
 "We are getting one cent per quart more than we did when feed was less than half the present price. Labor is per cent. higher and 100 per cent. less efficient Horses are 100 per cent. higher and all other expenses in pro- portion. Hundreds of men have quit making milk because it doesn't pay"
 Supply and demand regulate the price of milk the same as everything else, and there is no way of keeping milk cheap when everything a farm CT uses is getting dearer and dearer.
 The increased cost appears to be hard upon underpaid labor, but the conditions which confront him.. nor the conditions which confront the low wage class.
 We may as we'll take the increase cheerily. and remember that the farmer has no chance to graft. He brings milk the worst weather in the year before daylight, and when the tax of the service is ten times the rev. enue received from it.

TRAVELLERS POCKET.

Perhaps the most necessary posses sion of the woman who travels is a stout pocket attached to her corset or worn on a belt beneath her skirt.
 The prettiest of the white linen en- velopes, daintily embroidered and worn suspended from the neck by a wash ribbon, may be recommended for a short journey in weather that is not unbearably hot; but when even neck ribbon cannot be endured the envelope may be sewn to the corset.
 There was once a woman .(this is a true story), who pinned her jewel case to her gauge undervest, and meaning to arrive oif the other side Of the ocean with only clean clothes and whole ones. she cast into the ocean all those half worn garments in winch she had start ed on the journey. Perhaps you will be. nearly as glad as she was to learn that she almost, but not quite, cast the linen pocket into the briny deep. In reality, she remembered to unpin it and then momentarily forgot her caution. It is far safer, where notes, jewels and valuable papers are to be carried, to make the bag of suede leather or heavy drill. pocketed and with flaps that button down, and to wear it around the waist suspended from a belt fastened with an actual buckle.
 There is no more useful present for the traveller to- be. A homemade bag, firmly made on the sewing machine, will prove the best. If this is too far removed from the beautiful to appeal to you as presentable gift, why not give with 1t the embroidered envelope For your travelling friend will certain ly have use for both.

Ex-eov. wooDRuFFs PROTEST.

Since ex-Governor Woodruff has been regarded as the father of pub lie utilities commission" it is not strange that he should feel a little particular about the child He has looked the bill over and decided that he doesn't want the honor. He feels sure that he suggested a step for ward and he recognizes this proposed legislation as step backward. He gives six reasons why it should not become the law of the state. He as- sails 1t in this way, in conclusion:
 The bill confers but few powers upon the commissioners and the criti- cal examinations of these powers shows that they are delusive. The bill is so worded that the commits sioners who may be appointed can do but little for the benefit of the people. It would be a mistake to create q commission which must be of consid- erable expense to the state, without adequate powers. It seems probable that the service they could render un- der this bill would not justify the expense of their maintenance.
 The Barnum bill is now pending before the house and may be under consideration Tuesday next. As stren- uous efforts are being made to pass it, 1t seems to be the duty of all citi- zens. regardless of politics to do their utmost to cause it's defeat"
 Who can blame the governor? The most the supporters of the measure can say for it is that it is a wedge in the right direction, one of those little openings which may be made to exhibit beautiful vistas later on.

HE, CARRIED A DAGGER.

There is law in this state against the carrying of concealed weapons and it is generally regarded as a dead letter" It is refreshing to discover that when a violator of the law is dis covered some of our judges do not hesitate to make an effective applica- tion of it.
 Judge Fenn of Meriden had a cit izen before him on Friday, who car- ried dagger, and he did not let him escape with light fine, which would have been readily paid, but sentenced the offender to six months in jail; and it is agreeable to note that he is re- ceiving the commendation of the press for the vigor he has displayed for the suppression of the concealed weapon habit. It is a good thing to make men of this sort realize that they are regarded as a menace to the we'll be- ing of the community, and will be treated accordingly.

FLOWER PARTIES.

The girl graduates who entertain many young persons during the sum mer at luncheons, using one color and one variety of flower in the scheme can not do better than plan flower luncheons. Suppose a girl wished to give a sweet pea luncheon. The table should be decorated with sweet peas, the ice should be a delicate pink, and the cake one of the pale lavender tints, or a cream color. As far as possible have colors to match the numerous tints. If a marguerite luncheon Is served, white and yellow scheme could easily be carried out. A yellow fruit salad. with oranges, yellow ice cream or orange sherbet and white cake covered with marguer1Ies made of blanched almonds placed like dai- sies upon the icing would be appro- priate. The hostess should wear a white dress and pin a large bunch of flowers on herebodice. A big bowl of marguerites should be placed in the room. One woman who gave a lunch- con of this knid used an immense punch bowl for holding the daisies and immense ferns, and it was placed on a pedestal in the open doorway between the parlor and dining room. It or namented both rooms. AS nasturtiums are profuse bloomers, one could use them in the scheme.

PICTURE RUGS.

Among the coolest summer floor cov- erings are the washable home made rag carpet rugs that make their way through the world under an assumed name, Borrowed from the mother of our contry.
 Martha Washington may have mad9 rugs or may not have (she probably did toll and spin, being a dame of the olden time), but whether she did or not they bear her name.
 Annually they take on new colors and patterns in a shamelessly modern fashion, and some of them are now so gay as to be better fitted for the nursery than the serious and full grown domicile.
 The gray mixed rugs are bordered with whole village scene, showing an array of houses, fences and weep willow trees. Thirty.six inches of -seamp' ring rabbits in dull colors are woven across the ends of red rugs, and pageant of squawking white geese, the border of a delicate blue one would amaze any baby seated sud- denly in the center of this barnyard scene. A quaint blue painted pump by the wayside, with a little landscape has made its appearance on one of the newest

THE JULY FIRE LOSS.

The July fire loss in the United States and Canada reached $15.S30, 900. which is a half million more than the loss for July, 1908. The New York Journal of Commerce record shows that the property destroyed in the first seven months of 1907 was $135.- 71765O: in the first seven months of last year, $40 S2O, 300; in the seven months just passed, $119. .633,950.,
 The biggest of this years July fires was the $4SO,OOO one in New York city, Duluth had a s475.000 lumber plant fire, New Bedford had s46o,000 cordage plant fire and Tacoma a $400,- 900 packing house fire.
 Connecticut had nine fires reported with loss of over $10,000 in the ag- gregate reaching S4S4,000. which is an unusual loss for this state.
 Galesburg, H.. lost a $70,000 church In the July fires; Euclid Beach, O., a theater; Mempstead N. T., a poor house. Fox Lake, Wis, a sanitarium; Omaha, Neb., a school house; Darien. Wis, a town hall; Fall River; Mass. a golf club house; and Vancouver, B. C., d penitentiary building.
 Writing in the American Review of Reviews-August number-Guy FL liott Mitchell invites us to mediate a bit upon the fact that the yearly fire waste in six European countries is 3S cents per capita, and in this country nearly $2.5O per capita. The cause of this difference" he says, Ties in the material of which we build our houses. This invites conflagrations. and it is solely our fault that we are burning up and paying out needlessly every year one-half of the value of the buildings erected that year.

TORN BUTToNHoLEs.

If buttonhole tears out lay piece of closely woven tape back of it. stitch firmly in place, hem the old buttonhole to it neatly and then cut and work in the tape new buttonhole of the proper size. An extra fine way is to rip the band apart and take out the threads of the old buttonhole, stitch the tape on the inside of the back fold of the band, stitch up the latter in it's original shape and pro- ceed as before. When buttons have torn out it is comparatively easy to squeeze a small square of good tape through the hole, lay it flat in the proper position between the two folds of the band and stitch it in place Hem down the ragged edges on both sides and sew the buttons to the tape. Any button or buttonhole that is to bear the strain should be stayed with tape when the garment is being made, the stay tapes for both buttons and but tonholes being placed in the band be- fore it is stitched.

The New Hampshire Seal.

As certain newspapers continue to poke fun at New Hampshire because her state seal represents shipbuilding as her chief, if not her only, industry, the story of the origin and adoption of the seal may be of some interest. The first legislature under the constl- tuition of 1764 met on June of that year, and on the 12th of the same month both the house and senate voted that George Atkinson, John Pickering and George Gains be a committee to prepare a device and inscription for a seal for this state, and lay the same before the court next session" These gentlemen werer all of Portsmouth, and it is probable that the members of the legislature had a pretty definite idea what such a committee would select for device. The next session of the great and general court" was held at Portsmouth on Oct. 20, 17S4, and on Nov. 1, the committee for pre- pairing a device and inscription for seal for this state reported, that the device be a field encompassed with ters, Sigillum Reipublicae Neo Han toniensis, on the field a rising sun, and ship on the stocks, with Ameri- can banners displayed, and that said seal be two inches in diameter" This report was accepted by the house on the same day, and on Nov. 4 the sem ate concurred. The journals of each body give no indication that there was any opposition whatever. Nor was there any reason why there should be. At that time New Hampshire was fur nishing the oak and the pine from her hillsides, the men to build the ships and the men to sail them. No more appropriate device could have been chosen, and so long as the Piscataqua flows wide and deep from Portsmouth to the sea, there is no cood reason why the great seal of the state should be hanged.-Manchester Union.

FOR A LAWN TEA,

For a smart lawn tea, salads, sand wiches, cakes and creams comprise the principal items of the menu.
 The variations which can be made on a common sandwich are limitless, and any number of combinations can be made according to the taste of the maker.
 Herb sandwiches are palatable during hot weather, being made of lettuce, pepper grass, watercress, peppermint and chives. These are frequently all mixed togther. with a mayonnaise dressing added
 The strongly favored herbs are fine ly minced and sprinkled lightly over the buttered slice.
 Then the other slice is placed on top, and the sandwich is trimmed into shape, with no ragged green being al lowed to show
 Chopped olives, green pickles and curry powder may be employed in this way
 K Other herbs which are good used in this way are parsley, sorrel, dandelion, basil. thyme and the leaves of horse radish.

GOV. WEEKS DOESN'T LIKE THE
 BILL

It is reported that Governor Weeks is likely to veto the proposed Sunday law, because it is impossible to inter- pret the liberalizing clause which per
 mits Sunday activities adjudged to be for the general welfare of the com munity." Although this law has the cordial support of several clergymen, the governor regards it as local op- tion Sunday law which is very likely to have different interpretations in different communities, and because of its looseness that it may fail to work uniformity in all parts of the state. He is of the opinion that this clause should be clearly defined by legal au- thority so that an endless dispute shall not arise as to what the gen. eral welfare of the community de- mands Some communities might think that the general welfare required beer garden. Ambiguity in law should certainly be guarded against.

This simple model will be found ser viceable for early autumn days. It is adaptable to heavy linen, madras, Per sian or Victoria lawn or flannel. The wide tuck at each side stitched to the waist line in the front and back gives broad shouldered appearance which is always becoming. The waist closes at the center-back and the long sleeves hands.
