From the advance sheets of the SIND
Vermont Report it appears that of thir-
teen cases heard by the supreme court,
judgments of the superior court were
reversed in ten of them and the cases re-
manded for trial. This is rather dis
couraging showing for the new judiciary
system, if not the scheme itself; then the
composition of the lower bench. A court
that can only apply the law right in three
cases out of thirteen deserves some early
attention. It's costly business, this play
ing tennes between the courts.

A QUESTION NOT SOLVED.

The trained nurse is a recognized necessity and to many families a heavier burden than the doctors bills. Two classes are greatly benefited by her, the poor who are cared for in the hospitals, and those thrifty enough to cheerfully meet the expense. But the larger class of people are worse off now than they were when the experienced old woman was called in, at a reasonable rate of wages, and ac-- ed under the instructions of the faIn- fly physician as well and as near as she could. Speaking of this trial which has come to people of moderate means the Boston Transcript says:
 Tt is the respectable families living on the salaries or wages of their bread winners and living always close up to, if not beyond. their income, who can not afford the expense of the trained nurse in addition to the extra drain of the family In case of a severe illness or an accident. It is the well-b being of the very last class of people who should be left out of consideration in this matter that the American Hos pitaI association and the New Eng land Association of Nurses propose to take up in a special discussion of this problem. The former meets at Wash ington in the fall, and the latter will undertake to clear the ground some- what for the debate in a meeting in this city"
 Let us hope that these associations will solve the problem and bring about better conditions than now exist.

cHILpREN,s HATS.

Children's hats are the stumbling block on which so many mothers and milliners fall down. When any com ing season brings with it the really childish hat. one should hail 1t with rejoicing. It is always to be found, but not always without some search ing; and it never can be found suc- cessfully until it is understood No heavily trimmed hat it suitable for a little child. from the standpoint of weight as well as that of good taste. A hat bent down with heavy flowers and fruits is hardly to be thought of in comparison with the straight -brlm- med leghorn with one twist of ribbon and a bow.
 The one particular child's hat that stands for the best style is the French leghorn in it's natural color. It is trimmed with a four-inch ribbon vel vet in colors to match the coat, and usually arranged with streamers that have borne the test of time as the best effort in hat trimmings for the little girl.
 All sorts of variations follow this general rule. There are less expensive leghorns and pliable straws, made over the same general shape and trimmed with broad soft ribbon, tied loosely at the bsck. There are. too, rough straws that carry with them their own good style as playtime hats if they are simply trimmed in colors to match the hat. All efforts at overdecoration are to be strenuously avoided for the little girl from to 12. During these years t is chlldishness and simplicity alone that must be allowed to make their own appeal

THE EFFECTS OF ovERsTUDY.

Most of the great educators of the world agree that health is of the first importance to man, and is more de7 sirable than all else; and then this is the one thing we are the most neg ligent of and instruct our children least about.
 Dr. Samuel Dixon, state health com missioner of Pennsylvania, says a big factor in the development of tuibercu- losis among our people is the weak ening of our children's general physi- cal condition by driving them to over study in the schools. We feel such a pride in their ambitions that we forget the strain upon the nervous sys- tenn and the mortgage upon health which they impose; and this is fool ishness.
 Dr. Dixon says! T every day see children who will never live to grow up, and who are being sacrificed to the vanity of their parents, because their children. having active brains, stand high in their classes; and their fathers, or, more often, perhaps, their mothers. are fiattered by finding that their own children are outstripping those of their neighbors in their stud les.
 "The fact is that we Americans have been too much in the habit of regarding our children as solid Jumps of intellect, and have forgotten their nature is a two- fold one. that they have bodies as well as minds and that if we would have them grow up to a perfect manhood and womanhood we must educate their dual nature and not one at the expense of the other. The most thoroughly educated nation on the earth is the German. It is also the most robust, showing that 1t Is possible to be well educated and vig- orous at the same time.
 Statistics show that during the middle period of school life a notice able and rather sudden increase of tu- berculosis takes place and, knowing what we do of the physical conditions which predispose to the life of that germ in the human body, this Is only what one would naturally expect. Our school laws in this state contain many provisions for the protection of the health of the children, but these are too often overlooked by the teach CTS, and by those who arrange the overloaded curriculums."

THE MERRY WIDOW AS A sENsA-
 TON.

The person who happily conceived of the Merry Widow and then put her into music and upon the stage and named popular and distinct style of feminine hats for her deserves to be regarded as excellent as a captain of finance as he is perfdious as the cre- Rtor of nuisance. That which gives delight to many people often becomes "earisome and a painful experience to others.
 A statistician in Puck figures that 2.50O,00O Americans have paid S2,694-, GOO to see the Merry Widow. Also that 4S,632 hurdy- gurdys have caused 532.467 plain and 4,S96,577 fancy curses and that 10,7S3,o62 men have had their noses skinned by Merry Widow hats.
 Looking at this from every point of view, the Merry Widow" if not a true Frankenstein, went a great ways before she lost her momentum. Those who realized two and a half millions on her account do not care about hurdy- -gurdys or the nishaps or the curses which followed in her wake As a force, the Merry Widow" cut good deal of ice.

A MILLIONAIRE WITH A PURPOSE

Col. John Jacob Astor is a man of genius as well as a man of wealth and fle has been studying to cheapen fuel which, whatever 1t may mean to him in the way of enrichment, means to the people relief from one of the greatest burdens of the present time. It is claimed that he has taken out a patent for a machine for transforming peat into fuel for heat and power. It would be a great thing for New Eng land if It's peat bogs could be made profitable. It Is not so many years ago that in certain parts of New Eng land the pile of peat for the open fire place was as regularly made up to dry and season as the pile of logs. It was not popular fuel, but it must have then served an economical purpose. 1T John Jacob Astor can make it into bricks, for use in the kitchen ranges or steam heaters, he will benefit mill lions of his fellow citizens.

MAKING KoUMIsS.

Into one quart of new milk put one gill fresh buttermilk and three or four Jumps of white sugar. Mix well and see that the sugac dissolves. Put in a warm place to stand ten hours, when it will be thick. Pour from vessel to another until it becomes smooth and uniform in consistency. Then bottle and keep in a warm place twenty four hours. It may take thirty-six hours in winter. The bottles must be tightly corked and the corks tied down. Shake well five minutes before opening. This makes a very agreeable drink which is especially recommended for persons who do not assimilate their food, and it is said to be especially rood for young children. Instead of buttermilk some use a teaspoonful of yeast. The richer the milk The better the koumiss.

WOMEN DO UP HAIR
 ACCORDING TO HAT.

There are many new arrangements for the hair, chief among which we see the hair parted on one side, softly rounded at the sides, rolled at the back and finished with a Psyche knot. Or the hair may be divided in the center, or drawn back straight.
 The arrangement of the hair is really to be decided according to the hat worn.
 Should the hat be one of those rim less affairs, then the hair must be well rounded.
 The poke bonnet calls for fluffy hair dressing.
 Some of the fancy hats demand the straight or curled bang. Usually for evening wear, the hair is dressed in a Psyche knot or very high upon the head. where.it is banded with some at tractive ornament.
 This is usually ribbon to match the gown.
