ABOUT SHOES.


 Neat footwear has been something that comes to one by almost divine right. for as far back as one can trace history something is heard of embroid- cred sandals, slippers bedecked with jewels, and from China one learns of the torture to which the fairest daugh- ters are subjected that their feet may appear small and aristocratic. Ball room slippers have played their part in history as well as tragedy and it was, indeed, desperate lover who, to prove devotion to his fickle sweetheart. drank champagne from a tiny slipper. Ther ehave been horrors endured and then embraced in all ages. and even today there is the torturous shoe, the one with a heel so high it straine the small of the foot and drags unmerci- fully upon the muscles of the leg. There are some women who would do soon place their hands in the fire as their feet in tight shoes and those women have perfect feet and comfort. A tight shoe if comfortable, is more to be desired than a loose, uncomfort- able one. French shoes of soft leath- CT, medium heels and good curve to it the foot, are delightful, and one can walk with perfect ease in them. The flexible sole Is almost necessi- ty, whereas the stiff, unyielding heavy sole IS t1resome. NoWhere on earth are better shoes worn than in America and good footwear is expensive A pointed toe gives a neat appearance to +he foot, but the shoe should be longer than the foot with the point extending beyond the toes. A patent leather is more attractive when combined with dull leather; white shoes demand thin soles; colored shoes must be quite plain; satin shoes should be made with a few seams; toe slippers, if decorated, in solid color.

rhE IDLE FREIGHT CARS.

The ddis freight cars were taken as ansasure of dullness last year, but at now locks as if the idle freight car is of reaaly less importance as a sign of Encouragement than it was made to appear. There are over a qMarter of enGAion idle freight cars now. and ehsre were four and a half thoussn6 ,Gnere of them on the 9th of June than on the 30th of May. But over against this condition of things 1t is asserted on the authority of rail- rood men that railroad traffic is ac- tuslIy improving, and certainly what railroad managers think of the outlook for the near future is indicated by che statement that contracts are pend ing for S0,0oo new cars and that plans are in preparation for 10000 more. The old freight car has been figured in with the good ones and the sum total has been made to appear at its worst. The fact is, there are always thousands of old, dilapidated cars waiting to be burned and to have their iron parts thrown to the scrap heap. The demand for 100000 new cars makes 1t apparent that the 277,- 900 cars now idle in different parts of the country are not more than half the drawback they have been taken for.

let it cool in the refrigerator and weaken to the desired consistency with iced water just before neeued.
 It is mistake to think iced tea car be cooled by few Jumps in the pitch CT. There must be either cracked or shaved ice in glasses to make 1t palat- able.
 Lemon is also better added before the meal than at it. The usual way is to pass a section of lemon to each guest. Far better is the taste if both lemon and sugar are mixed with the tea when the iced water is added. Bet ter yet is it to adopt the Russian plan of grating the rind of a lemon and pouring hot tea over it.
 If lemon is passed, as it may have to be when some of the family do not like it, cut into lengthwise sections rather than thin rounds, and pass in addition a small glass pitcher filled with extra lemon juice.
 Mint leaves or lemon verbena added to iced tea, besides the lemon, gives delicious flavor. It is also good with little ginger syrup or few drops oi rum.

REDUCING srEAMINe DISTANCE.

Y
 Tuesday of this week witnessed the beginning of the Cape Cod canal which will cut off one hundred miles in the run from Boston to New York by wa ter. The Baltimore American, com menting upon this enterprise, says: 'It will really not be a much more costly undertaking to construct ship channel from New York bay across the Jersey flats to the Delaware riv- CT than to connect by navigable route Buzzards bay with Massachusetts bay. There is at present an extensive
 water commerce established between Baltimore and Boston. It is not diffi- cult to figure out how greatly this
 commerce would be promoted, what an immense saving in time and hence in the cost of transportation would
 be accomplished by the opening of a
 deep channel connecting the Chesa-
 peake bay with the Delaware river
 and the completing of the connection
 from the Delaware by an inner route
 to Long Island sound. Not only,
 through this inner route, would there
 be shortening of the distance be-
 tween Baltimore and Boston by about
 400 miles, but the dangers of the New
 Jersey coast and of the Nantucket
 shoals would thereby be eliminated.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP.

The season has been favorable for the strawberry crop and the present hot wave has forced them so rapidly that it is some time since premium berries could be bought in local mar kats at so low a price. The very best berries have sold only a few cents in advance of the Long Island and Jersey berries.
 The largest berries which have been exhibited thus far this year to The Bulletin were two grown by MT. John Mara, which measured 6 1-2 by 5 inches, and 1-2 by 1-2 inches, and ten of his best specimens weighed just half a pound. In average weight he was slightly excel!ed by Mrs. John Rathbone of Bozrah. who exhibited 1e berries which weighed a full pound.
 There were many who went into strawberries last year because of the profit there was in them, and 1t need not be said that they are somewhat disappointed by the results. Every body grows strawberries now, and because of this habit and the reduced demand for the fruit, there is likely to be less of the fruit grown another year.
 A few days more of hot weather will make an end of the early crop and the general demand for the fruit will be over.

ISAAC w. TURNER of Mt. Kisco.

After these trials politics came easy to Isaac Nothing fiusters him-ne is as calm in a moment of popular agitation when the ballots are flying and the opposition is hurling injunc- tions at him as if he were attend ing a Sunday school picnic on a day in June.
 What makes Turner popular, aside from his easy manner and straight forward speech, is his readiness to do a good turn for man without au- vertising his philanthropy
 People who know him will tell you how he once took trip all the way to Atlanta for the sake of helping a couple of young townsmen who were stranded there without means and needed a friend. Turner never told any one what he went for. It IS also old artist who painted signs for the Salvationists on the roadside, con trary to the regulations, and gave him a. chance to plead his cause when no one else thought of bothering about him.
 a decent burial for the county pauper dead. He was the man who estaD- lished the custom of holding rei1g- ious service over the bodies of these unfortunates.
 Tn his political views Turner is an independent democrat He was first elected supervisor of Bedford in 1883 and served ten years--the longest time the office was held by any one man in the history of the town. In the board he served on all the important committees and was chairman of the committee in charge of the poor ana asyIums for two terms. It was through his efforts that the new nos pital was built and put in operatlon' since he obtained the appropriarlon for carrying on the work.
 The year that Roosevelt was elect ed governor, Turner ran for the aS- sembly but was defeated by $40, in district usually republican by 2,0VO majority. He was a member or the democratic county committee, served two years as it's clerk, and in 1895 was elected it's chairman.

Hugh de Payne Commandery, and is No. l533 of the Mystic Shrine. He was one of the incorporators of the Palma club in Jersey City, and is A member of the National Demo- cratic club of New York city

We print in another column per- sonal notice of one of the absent sons of Norwich, taken from the Katonah Times; and we have no doubt the words of praise it him as closely as a ducks foot fits in the mud. Isaac Turner is well known to the Norwich people of his day and generation, and was always famous for recognizing the psychological moment which makes him appear like a genius when he is only trained druggist, who knows how to take medicine as well as how to give it. He was republi- can in Connecticut, but he saw that success and democracy went hand in hand in New York, and he has ever since been a good democrat, so that his political career and business ca reer have success written all over them. Isaac should be here on the 5th to witness our celebration of the towns 250th birthday.

MAKING ICED TEA.

However the doctors and health fearful may revile iced tea, it is bound to stay as long as thermometers are so unruly in summer. It is surpris- ing, considering the amount of iced tea good.
 The most scientific and supposedly healthful way to prepare it is to pour freshly brewed hot tea over a large lump of ice. then pour into glasses half filled with shaved ice.
 More economical is 1t to make a small quantity of rather strong tea several hours before it is to be used,

A GOOD POLICY.

It should be impressed upon Meri- den policemen that only as very last resort should they shoot; and then they shouldn't unless they have been taught to shoot straight. Fur thermore, the law doesn't provide the death penalty for a man who defrauds the railroad company or even for a thief or burglar. Finally. better a dozen criminals should escape than one innocent person be shot Some of the best men we ever had on the Meriden force never had occasion in long years of service to use their guns in making arrests and they had to deal with some very hard cases at that. Human life should be held just as sacred by policemen as by all oth- ers.--Meriden Journal

This is good advice. The policeman who is known as a level-headed and humane officer promotes the peace by his character. It holds in check the element of fear which abides with criminals and would quite likely re- duce the number of homicides where public servants are acting along the lines of duty. A six-shooter is a nec- essary weapon for policeman, and to be known as good marksmen is to make criminals cautious about at tempting to use weapons upon the men whose duty it is to arrest them. When a policeman must shoot can only depend upon his judgment. If there is going to be shooting, it is important that he should shoot first The value of life is of first consider ation. but it must be admitted that there is no life more precious to a policeman in the line of duty than his eKn
