Fan Shaped NeedIeease.

An attractive and compact needle case that can be slipped in a satcheI and easily be made at home at little or no cost of time or money.
 Cut four pieces of heavy pasteboard in fan shape. The slope of sides should be three and a half inches and vertical distance from point to bot tom is also three and a half inches. This gives good curve on the bot tom of fan.
 Cover each piece separately, two with lowered silk or ribbon, two with a plain silk in contrasting color A layer of scented cotton batting is put under each cover.
 Overcast a lowered and plain piece together, and when both halves are finished join the case on one edge from point to bottom with a narrow gilt braid or loose overcasting, so the book can be opened out flat. Put a loop of gilt cord at the point for a hanger.
 On inside of case sew oval flaps of flannel for loose needles. and on the opposite half strap ribbon. to hold napsrs of needles and hodk.ns.

WHAT IS THE MUNICIPAL ATMo-
 SPERE?

The city that has the right kind of atmosphere is the city which im- presses visitors right and attracts un- to Itself residents and business. It IS not clear to enough people that the air which circu1ates-the wind that b1ows-Is not the only atmosphere which may tell for the veal or woe Of a place The dweIlers in cities are creating an atmosphere which may tell for or against themselves and their city. The man who grumbles about his town neglects his walks and the general appearance of his property. who is 9 barnacIe when he should be a pusher. is creating an atmosphere which gives visitors a bad Impression of the place and checks instead of ad- vances its interests To bring this lesson right home, these citizens are guilty of conduct which is depreciat- ing the value of their own property and have not sufficient sense to see 1t.
 On the other hand. the citizen who promotes law and order. who is con scious of every advantage the ely affords. who can point with pride to it's financial and industrial growth who praises his town with the honesty and heartiness that he praises his wife and children, or even his pet dog Is creating an atmosphere of the quality which makes enthusiasm catching. which makes civic zeal and pride con- tssious, and which prompts every vis- itor to recognize what a wonderfully well adapted place for business or liv- tng the 'beoned city is, and this leads him to always speak in the city's praise. to talk 1t up.
 A city Is just what it's citizens make 1t. or let it be made. for sometimes Btagnant or self satisfied righteousness lets vice run rampant and give a place D worse reputs than it really deserves md which it has not the face to apologize for. Citizens ought to ask themselves occasionally what they are loing for the town; whether they are nr or against themselves. for that is That our conduct as citizens simmers Town to.
 The municipality that keeps it's at Gosphere wholesome is the city which TOu hear spoken of as a wonder of progress today. and every adult in that eity is contributing to it's attractive hess and it's good name

A BETTER NEW YEAR TO ALL.


 This is the greeting the Monthly Record from the Wethersheld prison sends out to the world and it is a good message. Some people may think that 1t is an improvement upon "A Happy New Year to alli' and with these The Bulletin is not disposed to dispute.
 It may not be generally known here in Connecticut that this prison paper is one of the best products Of convict ability issued from any prison in the world. The contributions from the prisoners-signed Reg. No. -" show that many of them have travelled vide ly, have had thrilling experiences, and lack not the ability to describe them in an edifying and entertaining style. There is seldom dull paper in the whole lot. The December number has the following contributions from con victs: "A Dutch New Years" "Christmas in Death Valley" Let ters from a Recruit "Jimmie's Big Bass Setting Type" "On Guard" and Hawthorne" The prisoners had a good entertainment and feast on Christmas. and after reporting it, The Record says:
 'It is a long wait until our next holiday, but, our Christmas celebration will go far to fortify us against the slow days.
 we give the warmest thanks to all who provided, prepared or shared Tn the days entertainment"
 The good taste left in the mouth ard the new pictures hung in the gallery of memory will serve to brighten the days which otherwise might be too gloomy for endurance. Prison walIs cannot bar the spirit of kindness.

HOW THE NEW LAW IS KEPT.

The new law requiring the liquor ehipped from license states into mo- license states to be plainly marked has given rise to a method of evading the law which makes a decided issue and may cause delays if it is eventually overthrown- The shipped goods are marked in microscopic letters and the men who can do the neatest work are in great demand. There are no ad- missions that the working of the new law has reduced the volume of ship ruents of liquors, and none are expect ed so long as the packages are marked in a way not to bother even those who are inclined to be fussy about having it made evident what they are receiv- ing in the packages.
 This method of evasion cannot long endure, but it is a good example of what men will do to override both the law and the will of the people; and business which seeks to thwart both can never be regarded as respectable or legitimate.

A Douqhnut Hint.

Doughnuts are much improved if they are coated with a layer of sugar soon they are taken from the stove. The best way to powder them is to put a small amount of confec- tioner's sugar in a paper bag and put serveral doughnuts in the bag at time and then shake the bag. holding the top of the bag closed This will coat them with sugar quickly and more evenly than any other way.

HUNT RUSSIAN SPIES IN us.

Vladimir Bourtseff, the Russian
editor and revolutionist, was en-
Enthusiastically welcomed by the
New York colony of Russian ex-
lies. There are fully 10000 revo-
lutionists in New York, every one
of whom has at one time or other
been an active member of the
Russian revolutionary party, and
upon many of them the prisons of
Russia and Siberia have left indeli-
bile marks.
Bourtseff is the man who ex-
posed the treachery of Eugene
Azeff, probably the most despica-
bic traitor in spy-infested Russia,
who had for years posed as a rev.
olntionist leader, while at the
same time betraying the party to
the government. He organized
plots only to betray them. He
planned the murders of the Grand
Duke Sergius and M. Plelve, and
also an attempt made on the cars
life in 1908.
Bourtseff aided the cause of
Russian freedom immensely when
he uncovered the rottenness of
this Azeff. agent provocateur. It
was he, too, who exposed Harting,
the police spy who had gained
great prominence in revolutionary
