THE NzW TARIFF RECEIPTS.

The Government revenues. immedi ateIS upon the going into effect of the new tariff perk up like a field of thirsty plants after a rain. The first day it was not in full effect. but it showed that it was most effective for the receipts were 40 per cent. in ex- cess of the receipts under the Ding ley law on August 10, last year, or $930943 as against s676,577 on the cor responding date last year.
 Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Reynolds Tuesday gave out that re- ports of daily receipts will refer en- tirely to receipts under the Payne law. Even then until tabulations are made of the class of imports coming in, it will be impossible to complete a practical test of the earning capac- ity of the new law as compared with the old. That such capacity will prove wide of the academic estimates of the two congressional committees, few people in Washington are inclined to doubt

A FUTURE rossIHILITY.

The number of anniversaries al- ready celebrated and to be celebrated this year has prompted some of our contemporaries to call attention to the fact that America has endless anni- versaries to celebrate if the fever be- comes epidemic. The first of long series of events occurring 200, 250, 300 and 400 years ago, will be in order in the next five years. It will be only a little more than another dec- ade before the S00th year since the landing of the Pilgrims will be cele- brated. In 1915 will come the 350th anniversary of the founding of the oldest city in the United States. while "a few years later will bring the i400th anniversary of the great epochal dis coveries of the Mississippi, the Pa cifc ocean, etc.
 Tn the meantime" says an ex- change, there has already been be- gun long series of iftieth anniver- saries. Half century ago this De- cember, John Brown was hanged, and that inaugurates the long list of civil war semi-centennials. Coincidentally will come the centennials of the inn portant events of the war of 1872 and the semi-centennials of the strategic happenings of the civil war Before we know it, we shall be celebrating the tooth anniversaries of the Mexican war by which time we shall be re- calling the Spanish American war vic tories of fifty years before. It begins to look as though the school children of the next quarter of a century were in for lot of extra holidays"

CIRCULATION
THE BULLETINS ILLUSTRATED
 BOOK .

It is not surprising that great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be feature of the 250th an- niversary Jubilee book-what they are to be and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and rhair1nen of committees and the guests of the city will number score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- cial interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large enough to make the Identification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page.
 It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it appears in December for delivery.
 The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo graphs already, and expects to have others submitted.
 The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration and the book will be prized for it's accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere.

PICNIC DAINTlEs.

Club Sandwiches: These delectable morsels call for white bread toasted crisply. The filling may be of grilled ham or bacon. or of broiled chicken, with the addition of a taste of either of the first two meats. A morsel of broiled ham or bacon always gives an extra filip to chicken. A leaf of deli cate lettuce is put first on a slice of the toast; then comes the meat, with q sprinkle of salt, cayenne and q squeeze of lemon juice for the final notes. Most sandwiches are better without butter, and these call absolutely for the broiI- ing of the meat This cooking and the toast realize the name, "club sand wich."
 Mayonnaise Sandwiches: Gluten bread. cut in thin slices with the crust trimmed off, is the foundation for these. When making the mayonnaise mustard and use cayenne, lemon juice and a touch of sugar for other season. CTS. The whole bites will also seem far more delicious if the filling includes two fragments of lettuce, these inclos- ing the mayonnaise in roll.
 Herring Sandwiches: The boneless strips put up in glass jars or small boxes are convenient for these. If the herring seems unpleasantly strong, soak the StrlpS Tn cOld water Tor nalr an hour After this cook them gently in hot pan with little butter and add, while cooking. a little cayenne. White bread which is not too fresh is suitable for the casing.
 Stuffed Eggs: Boil six eggs for if teen minutes and let them stand in the same water till it is lukewarn. After this thoroughly chill them in cold wa ter, cut directly in half take out the yolks and mix them into paste with three tablespoons of freshly toasted bread crumbs rolled to q powder, one teaspoon of olive oil-or more as liked

"a teaspoon of lemon juice and salt and cayenne to taste. If the oil and acid are not liked, use melted butter or cream and season with chopped parsley. Eggs prepared in this way are invaluable for excursion lunch baskets. as they are as filling as appetizing and not the least messy.
 Anchovy Tartines: Select the Swed- ish anchovies which are put up in bot ties. Wash them off with warm wa.- and let them soak for an hour in fresh olive oil Put between saltincs or thin slices of day-old white bread. A few drops of lemon juice improves them.
 Caviar Bites: Cut rye or white bread in long inch strips and spread with a good paste of Russian caviar. Lemon juice is indispensable with such bites.
 Appetizers: A single. big, black rad ish cut in straw strips and seasoned with salt makes a cheap and piquant picnic appetizer. One good sized rad ish is enough for dozen persons. Ripe olives cured in the Italian way with salt, strips of smoked salmon, pickled mussels, oysters and shrimps are other appetizers which may be found in any grocery store. The sea things are bet ter, however. if bought from the fish man.

STRAW HANDBAGS NEWEST FAD
 GOING.

About the newest thing out in the way of a novelty for the summer girl is handbag made of straw.
 It doesn't sound very attractive when you read of it, but it is really just the smartest looking bag for sum- mer use imaginable.
 It is so light in weight and so cool looking and it is made in just tho same way as if it were leather.
 The material used is Panama straw in a soft light yellow shade, and the III )untings and clasp are gilt.
 The handle is of twisted cord the same shade as the bag.
 The lining is white cotton moire and the bag has not only a convenient Iit- tie pocket inside but perfectly made change purse of the same Panama straw
 There are other handbags made of the same Panama straw, but with diff ferert mountinrs aEd in different sizes at various prices.
 When the bag is soiled it can be sIc- cessfu;Iy cleaned by using a light solu- tfon )f oxalic acid.

REJECTION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES

While there is 6 real necessity for Q public utilities law, it is not true that there is in this state any far reaching public sentiment in support of the measure. hence there is no gen eral disappointment because of it's failure
 The Barnum bill was plainly a polit- ical bill-a place maker for a few men, but not a reform worker, ex- cept in the very weakest sense It is true that laws born without teeth or hair--as bald and in some respects useless as this one-have been worked Ap to responsibility and effectiveness by proper patience and skilful nurs- ing
 What had more to do with killing the bill, probably, than anything else, was ex-Governor Woodrufrs declara- ton that under it no commissioner could earn his salary-that it was weak and so limited the powers of the commission that an adequate re- turn could not be made for the cost. In other words. Chat the business end of it did not guaranty successful bus iness.
 The Bulletin does not for a moment imagine that the lowering of the stan- dard of gas. by this measure had much to do with it's defeat, for in these days commercial gas is seldom tested, and whenever it has been, it has not proved to be up to the stan nard required by law.
 While there may be room for dis pute whether it would have been a Etep backward or not to have enacted the Barnum bill, there has been no ,ne valiant enough to declare that it vas q full-length step forward. It vas an aborted sort of a measure, with q political blight on it's face that Iulphur could not remove as usually lpplied.
 It is bemoaned by few as "a hope f better things" lost: but it was too weak a beginning to commend itself o the majority of the assembly, and me Bulletin feels that this is en- rely to their credit.

EXPERIENCE WITH OILED ROADS

The oiled road is not giving first class satisfaction at Meriden, where State Highway Commissioner Mac donald, in response to public demand, began his trials. The Meriden papers noted the first day that the automobiles and the motorcycles fought shy of the oiled portion of the road because the oil, which was thickly applied, spattered over them. In other places where oil is used on roads, where the trolleys run, it is said that the oil is tracked on the cars and has in cases ruined cloth ing, especially women's dresses, as it is impossible to remove the stain left by the particular brand of oil used on the roads, and it is the regulation brand
 The Middletown Sun, commenting upon these incidents. says: "The au- tomobile tires are impervious to the oil, but we believe we have heard of oil rotting the rubber If this is so, additional burden to the autonrobilist while allaying the dust nuisance and preserving the surface of the road. It may be necessary to provide a tire which will be oil proof.
 These are just few of the possi- ble difficulties which it may be imag- ined can arise from the use of oil. They may exist only when the oil is freshly laid. But as the use of oil is but an experiment we do not believe we would feel like shouting for an- other carload for use in this city unti, the effects of the coming carload just ordered by the council has been fully tested"
 It is claimed that oil is inferior to tar for dust-laying, and those who know most about this matter say that it is sure to come into general use.

Mir. Editor:---I see in today's New York papers that wholesale ice in New York is now selling from s3 to s5 a ton, and that the reduction in price has come from the comparatively cool weather which has prevailed through the summer. Most of the shopkeepers are buying ice at 30 cents a hunnrea. and most families are paying that price. The article says: Ice may be bought anywhere from 25 cents to 40 cents a hundred at retail" And we are paying SO cents a hundred here in Norwich, under conditions no less favorable for reductionl

Fresh Air Cures Ills of Humanity.

Half the evils and ills of humanity could be cured if more people realized the value of fresh air
 It is the basis of all beauty and health. and the girl who is endeavor- ing to procure lovely complexion by the use of face lotions will find fresh air twice as efficacious.
 When you are terribly fatigued try taking half dozen long. deep breaths and see if you don't feel more like living.
 When insomnia has you in it's grip, try breathing deeply and regularly as you lay in bed and you will be sur- prised how easily sleep will come
 Nervousness can be cured by form ing the habit of breathing deep and long, and one medical authority pre- scribes it in his schedule for nervous women.
 All singers are invariably high and free from colds or chronic coughing spells. It is because they have learned to breathe from the waist instead of the top of the lungs, as the majority of people do.
 To breathe deeply is to stimulate the heart and circulation.
 It means a full high chest and broad shoulders.
 It means practical immunity from the dangers incurred by exposure.
 It means a good carriage and we'll poised head.
 And. best of all, it means perfect physical health.

Raincoats.

Rubberized silk is preferred to satin, and the dull surface is certainly more becoming than the glossy one. Stripes are more popular than plain effects, although the changeable tones are oftel selected. A short person will find stripes an aid io height, though these should be narrow, not more than half an inch wide and preferably in self tones.
 The alternate silk and satin stripes, whether of the same shade or of Il color combined with black, can be worn sue ssfully by the average woman.
 Blues. browns and the popular taupe are the shades that sell best.
 Women who prefer raincoats made in an exclusive style buy the goods and send it to firms that do water proo1ng. Of course. by this method one knows exactly the quality of the cloth, and if the wrap can be made nt home probably will be cheaper, con- siGtrIn the quality Of the fabric.
