OCTOBER RECORD.

The reports from Boston show that with respect to temperature October was normal; and this is a surprise to most of us; but in moisture it was one of the driest of the dry months The weather bureaus official meteorological summary as printed by the Boston Transcript will be of interest to east ern Connecticut readers:
 The mean was 53 degrees, and that as the October mean for the last thir- ty-nine years. Four times in that period it has been five degrees lower and once, in 1879, five degrees higher, but perhaps as few extremes are shown as for any month in the year. The highest figures for the month were 77 degrees, and the lowest 33 de- grees, while the absolute maximum for the basic period has been 90 de- grees and the absolute minimum 25 degrees. The accumulated excess since the beginning of the year is 357 de- Grees. In precipitation the previous de6ciency has been intensified. Only Ter inches fell, against the thirty nine-year average of 3.56 inches. While rain has Reen sorely needed, its lack has perhaps been borne with more resignation from the fact that the beauty of the season has been en- hanced thereby. Eleven years ago over seven inches of rain fell during the month, conditions under which foliage could not be expected to show its best. The accumulated effi- ciency since January is 1.94 inches. The prevailing direction of the wind has been west, and it's total move ment 7,4l4 miles, its greatest velocity being at the rate of thirty miles an hour and the average ten miles. There were twelve clear days, twelve party cloudy and seven cloudy. On the goth yhe first killing frost occurred. The mean atmospheric pressure was 3o.01, the highest 30.51, and the lowest 29.64."

 Remember that where brilliancy is shown in one direction, wholesome dis like for another study may place the boy in a bad light. But that is no proof that the boy is not bright nor worth pushing ahead. His one best study may be the foundation for his future work.

A CLERICAL OPINION.

It becomes all men to think as well as possible of their brethren, for the worst are not utterly worthless, and the good are not so good that they cannot be better
 A Baltimore minister is reported to have said that life has become so meaningless and useless to some that it would be good thing to provide for them penny -in- the-slot machine. which would kill them easily and re- specially,
 This is not pious thought, and The Bulletin questions whether it is really creditable thought for even one of the condemned. There is not an element of charity in this senti-. ment. but there appears to be a warp of fiendishness. The assumption that there is a class so ambitious to kill themselves that they would volun- tarily invite death by dropping a pen ny in the slot has no grounds to rest upon; and the presumption that such suicide would be respectable is wholly unwarranted Men who de- sire to dominate their brethren often show by such loose remarks that they are not fit to control men since they cannot control themselves.

Use for Refriqerator.

When ice is no longer needed clean the refrigerator, stop the drainage pipe and dry the interior with a light ed lamp. It is moisture that rusts the inside, so place no steaming articles in the refrigerator. If it is necessary to make an improvised cupboard out of it, it should be used for holding fruit in cans, jars and bottles. If the interior is in bad condition, now is the time of year to give it the usual three thin coats of white enamel paint. The first two of these should be all lowed to dry thoroughly for a few days prior to the last application. Clean the wire netting by boiling it in wa ter containing plenty of ammonia. Be sure there is no foreign substance in the pipes. To stop the pipes use a large cork wrapped in cotton and drive it into the end. If the pipe has an outlet into the yard the re- frigerator will be damaged if unplug- ged.

The guimpe occupies an important place in the bodice of this seasons dress. It is in the range of the ordi- nary parsons vision and must fit well, besides offering a decorative spot in the bodice.
 The tiny yokes. which sometimes seem to be merely an extension of the collar are frequently made of net, braided in designs that exploit soutache and rat-tail by the yard. Jet is used on black. appearing in lines or heavily embroidered. Many net foundations have chain stitching in cOiors; in oth- CT guimpes solid design in dull shades with perhaps one brilliant note gives richness to the foundation. one beautiful guimpe of a gown has foun- dation of gray net upon which an eal- broidered vine trails.

WOMAN ONION GROWER.

A most successful onion grower, by the way, is woman. Mrs. E. c. Dodd who lives in Laredo, Tex, has culti- vated 135 acres this season and made a net profit on her onion. crop of lit tie over $50,000. To make land bring a gain of over $400 an acre is some thing few men have the ability to do, and yet this woman does not seem to regard her feat as emitting her to any great praise.
 Mrs. Dodd looks after every detail of her farm in person. Raising onions is no childs play. It involves hard work and great expense in that sec tion, where irrigation is necessary. It is the intention of Mrs. Dodd to plant on a still bigger scale, as she gradually brings more of her land under irriga- ton.

Ruches Popular.

Ruches are so popular this year that countless varieties have been shown, but one of the prettiest seen so far was made strictly for evening wear, to be used instead of the heavier furs, although a bit of the latter some mink, was used in the design.
 White messaline, about seven inches wide, finished at the bottom with a very narrow line of the brown fur, was laid in soft, broad plaits that be- gan in the middle of the back and faded both ways. About two inches from the top it was stitched on to a narrow band, at which point another layer of plating about two inches wide, this of chiffon, though. was laid over the main piece. The stitching was covered with a wider band of the fur, finished in front with two mink tails. under which the fastening was made.

WHY YOUR BOY DOES
 NOT LIKE SCHOOL,

When a boy won't go to school there is something wrong, and the parents should get at the very bottom of the trouble. All boys heartily dislike some studies.
 Girls are not lacking in this respect, but they are really more ambitious students, taken collectively, and go to school much longer than boys
 One teacher offers this explanation for the boys refusal to go to school: They set behind in the class. have little ambition to get ahead, and do not care to be placed in lower class.
 The second fault is that they want to earn money.
 Now when boy fails at school he must be encouraged. If his teacher in- sists that be be denoted the boy should
