WOULD NOT REJECT THE BILL.

The rejection of the public utilities bill did not meet the favor of the house and the measure is now booked for revision and adoption, perhaps, later on.
 It Is a wholesome sign when leg islative body recognizes that 1t Is not safe to disregard public opinion, even if the scheme simply means a political trimming of the bill so that in reality l. shall not be effective along the very lines of speculation which it was orig tnally drawn to prevent.
 It will be a mistake, of course, to make this law inadequate to meet the conditions which need regulating-to in effect give the people a sop in- stead of the protection they are hop ing for.
 The New Haven Journal Courier is right when 1t gives notice that what the people want they are going to have, and what they are to get should be the product of the best judgment. a bill which is fair to the corporations and reassuring to the general public Such a law enacted now will be found to have escaped legislation enacted in anger or suspicion"

 The voting machine that did not register 'Yes" votes in the Tenth ward, Hartford, recently, was not test ed before put in use and a bent rod kept one counter from responding to the action of the voter.
 It goes without saying that no na- chine can be a whit more honest than the men who have it in charge. but it cannot under any circumstances be made as tricky as unprincipled count CTS among partisans have been proven to be.
 The trouble in Hartford is charge able to negligence of the machine, a close observation of which would have revealed the defect. Since thou sands of these machines are in use. and have been for years, the poor work of one. under such circumstances should not be construed for the con- demnation of all. The best machines sometimes get out of service and are sometimes put out by willy oppon- ents. The voting machine has proven to be a great success.

It is surprising that MT. Dewell does not seem to be conscious of the fact that the greatest enemy of bird life or every kind is man, not cats. Well kept and well fed cats kill few birds or chickens. There does not appear to be anything anomalous for per- son to keep cats, and to be at the same time enlisted in humane work. The cat is no viler because 1t kills song birds than the hawk or the shrike. So far as nature goes it ap- pears to be the fashion for one creature to live upon another, or at it's expense. How much worse is the cat who eats a bird naturally, than a man who eats a lamb. or humming bird pie? Is the cat who spells a nest of birds worse than the man who shoots the white mother heron for it's plume by the score and leaves the brood of young birds to starve in the nest? Doesn't MT. Dewell know that man kills a million robins every sea- son for the pot, and as many bob olinks in this country of ours? Hu- mane persons who keep cats deplore the loss of a single bird by them, but they do not kill them for display of ferocity which is natural and God given.

To Shorten a Lona Hallway.

A hall of unusual size can be short ened by making a division near the entrance with portieres.
 Colored art scrims are splendid for this purpose and are obtainable in different colors, all striped, with a deep tan or cream background.
 They should be simply hemmed and run on curtain rods to hang straight from the poles.
 A very good striped effect is a dou- ble curtain of soft green with tan stripes for a border effect.
 This could be placed in a hall with green paper, green rug and willow furniture for summer use.
 With a few palms or ferns in jar dinieres, the large hall, often so bar ren looking, could be made very pleas ant looking and inviting.

Teaching Girls the "LittIe Things"

It seems to me that the mothers need to go into training and learn the irn- oortance of teaching their girls how to do the little everyday things which seem so easy to mother" and not leave this part of the training of their girls to come after they are settled in their own home with mothers far way.
 It is not the food which causes the friction, but the little details of labor before it appears on the table.

Nuts are Good Meat Substitute.

Nuts are very nutritious and if eaten at proper times prove good suostl- ute for meat.
 At this season, however, they are not generally of good quality, and should only be served salted, or in cooked dishes. Olive oil. cream and butter are all nourishing and should be indulged in feely.
 Macaroni, sphaghetti and the various noodles are not only healthy, but cas- fly digested by the weakest stomach.

Garment Pressino Advice.

When sewing hooks and eyes to the placket of a dress skirt be sure that the garment has received its final pressing first, as it is impossible to press it as well after the hooks are on as before. It makes a much neat CT finish to overcast the eyes with heavy buttonhole twist, and they hold firmer. as well as bein~ more nearly invisible when this is done.

The Leader is right. It takes a cow ard to assassinate his brother man, or false friend, under any circum- stances.
 The perhdy in a case of this kind is in the home first. The false wife makes such conditions possible; and a faithless husband is not infrequently the cause of wife's downfall.
 Some of these men of honor are more dishonorable than the men they so ruthlessly slay; and happy they seem to be to escape their just deserts, if they have to be proven to be lunatics or degenerates.

HIS GREED.

John Temple Graves, writing of the Hains murder case, says:
 For all the years of our national life 1t has been the creed of the south and the west, and 1t is my creed to- day, that the depth of all social in- fanny Is to tamper with friends wife, or to make love to a comrades sweet heart. There is no social dishonor so deep as that"
 The creed is all right, but has a man who suffers because it Is violated, the right to shoot the man who violates it?
 That's the question which now pre- sents itself in the Hains case.
 The law says that murder shall not be committed and one man has no right to shoot another man unless it be in self defense
 No man has right to make a pis- tol target or shotgun target of a man who makes love to his sweetheart.
 Social infamy cannot safely be pun ished by the use of rifle, stiletto or other death h-dealing weapon The New Haven Leader.
