FALL

The majority Of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several adj
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

The Root Of Attruism.

The three eternal roots Of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
Of Justice: that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that | ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle Of
charity; that | owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle Of free will; that
l a really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if | do not
do so. TO this may be added the
idea of a definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. X. Ch%esterton.

NINE. MELBA'S FIRST ENCORE

Little Playmate Saw Her
Garter.

When six years of age Helen MltCh-
ell tMelba) appeared at a school con
cert. organized by her aunts in Rich
moud, Melbourne, the suburb OF her
birth. At this entertainment she sang
"Shells of the Ocean" with such Ell
feet that the audience asked for an
encore, and the child on her reappear-
ance, created a still greater impress
sion by her singing of "COmin Through
the Rye" for which her grandmother
had Taught her the Scottish accent.
At the earliest opportunity she hnr-
ried to her Iavorite playmate, who
lived in the same street, and breath
lessly waited for reference to the en-
tertainment of the evening before, but
the little cumrade was adamant and
ignored the whole subject. After
many attempts to introduce it. Nellie
at length found herself unable to wait
longer. and exclaimed eXcitedly: "i'ut

looked with eagerness in the face OF

To Clean Wool Garments.

The easy way of removing grease from wool is to sponge the stain well with equal parts of ammonia and wa ter. then with clear water. The an- monia forms a soap with the fat or grease and this is soluble in wa CT ard will rinse out.
 If the stain is obstinate, warn suds of white soap ana am'n6r;e will do good WpIk in most ca5"s.
 But when the garment is<of a color which will not stand water or ammo mia the housewife resorts to dry pow ders. For thin clothes of delicate tints pure white starch makes an excellent cleaner. It is rubbed into the spot and allowed to remain until it has abs6rb- ed the grease. Dry magnesia works in the same way, but costs more. A paste made of magnesia and water may be allowed to dry on some colors and will brush away, taking the grease with it.
 White woolens of almost any kind are best renovated by washing with white soap studs and borax.
 A mixture of four parts of alcohol and one of common salt makes a ex- cellent cleaner for mems and boys gar ments.
 Turpentine is necessary when there Is grease in any quantity. The stain is wet with the turpentine then 1ross- ed dry between clean blotters, which absorb the compound.
 In cleaning experiment upon 2 sam pie of the goods before attacking a garment of value.

CIRCULATION
A SATISFACTORY SEASON.

The business men of Norwich have no complaint to make of the Christ mas business. While there has been no extensive rush-nothing of a phe- nomenal character in the currents of trade. there has been a steady and satisfactory trade which in some re- respects was rather surprising.
 The mild, pleasant weather was most favorable for the shoppers and those who delayed their shopping until the last week were never confronted with more depleted stocks of goods. In many things the last week brought the purchasers down to limited varie- ties to select from, and often 1t was Hooson's choice or nothing.
 The early shoppers have certainly learned the advantage of beginning to select Christmas goods as early as the stocks are shown and to buy when there is no crowding at the counter and there is plenty of opportunity for making good selections.
 The business men and their patient and courteous clerks are to be con- graduated upon the display of goods made and the fine manner in which they conducted the business. May they all have happy and prosperous New Year.

That Memorial.

It is fitting that bronze memorial tablet in honor of Samuel Bowles, the great editor of the Springfield Repub- lican, should be placed on the front of the enlarged building of that eminent newspaper. "All the news and the truth about It," the motto of Mr.
 Bowles, will be inscribed beneath his likeness. While Samuel Bowles was great personality, he represented a type of the early editors. Those men were editors and publishers. They owned their own plants and no one bossed them or told them what to write and what not to write. The newspapers grew with the population and the pub fishers grew with all. Today the num- Der of newspapers where the managing editor is master are rare. Nine-tenths owned by politicians or capitalists, and the man who wields the editorial pen writes what he Is ordered to or what he knows he will be ordered to if he does not anticipate the order The newspapers of today have grown in many instances beyond the capital of one man. The community today that has an uncontrolled, unfettered news paper has an asset beyond the value of public buildings or any municipal improvement. Such paper the Springfield Republican has always been because 1t has never been compelled to sell its soul to get capital and it still owned by Bowles. The atmosphere of the Connecticut valley breathes a cleaner, freer independence because of such a newspaper.-Malden News.

ARE THEY APPREHENsIvE7

The reading public is somewhat sur prised by the conduct of the members of the National Geographical society because of their ruling that Admiral Schley's proposition to have Comman- der Peary submit his report to the university of Copenhagen as being ab- surd.
 If there is anything absurd in a mans seeking for every endorsement which strengthens his fame-if there 1s anything absurd in what would amount to a courtesy to this famous institution of Copenhagen, which has a record of three centuries behind It. then. of course, Admiral Schley's prop oSitton is absurd
 The reading public does not think that 1t is absurd, but they suspect that the society is afraid to trust the endorsement of their favorite to the Danes. and that Commander Peary fears the result of such a test of his report. That society does not appear to realize that If the report will not pass at Copenhagen that it really is no better than Dr. Cooks; or should 1t fail to convince the Danes that 1t does not prove that Peary is a fraud or that he has not been to the North pole.
 This apparent fear Is certainly very unfortunate for the cause of Com nander Peary, and he should override che trepidity of partisanship and show his belief in his ability to satisfy a society of his enemies, if needs be, that he has discovered the North pole.
 Doesn't Commander Peary think that his laurels are secure enough to entrust his report to other friendly geographical societies?

An American Career.

The career of H. U. Nudge, new president of the Rock Island railroad, is full of inspiration to every man in the railroad business or in any other business. He simply proves that real success is not always the result of pull" Thfrty-seven years ago he was carrying water for the laborers along the line of the Santa Fe railroad. A quarter of a century after he carried his first pail of water to the section hands he was riding over the line in his own private car, and today he finds himself, president of one of the great set railroad companies in the country. But, between the water carrying days and the present, there stretched long years of preparations for the horors that came to him, from time to time, as he was ready for them. To prove himself competent for each increase in responsibility he learned the railroad business from the first spike to the pri- vate car. His elevation to the presi- dency of the road is due solely to the fact that he was the right man for the place. It is a fitting continuation for his professional career, or rather an suspicious beginning for a new career along higher plane of usefulness and opportunity. For he is only 53 years old-the very zenith of his career. Whatever honors he has received he has well earned, and no honors can come to him in the future for which he is not fitted.-Haverhin Gazette.

Oyster Roast.

On oyster roast in the kitchen or cellar makes a jolly finish to the day especially if the cook has gone out and the family are left to fend for them selves. For the young people the simples way of roasting and serving the oysters is best. Wash the shells and throw by the dozen into the open fire. When they open they are done. Armed with a pair of tongs. let the chef pro tenn. take them out into a large pan. From this central dish each one can remove his own, seasoning the oyster in its own juices with butter, pepper, salt. catsup. horse radish or lemon juice, which should all be at hand for varying tastes. Eat with whole wheat bread or oat meal bread and butter, pickles and celery. If pre- ferred the feast can be concluded with popcorn popped over the glowing coals and eaten hot from the ppoper, with sweet cider, nuts and fruit.
