A HYDRoPHoBIALEss CITY.

The practice in the City of Mexico in furnishing dogs with water has shown that the rabies result from a negligence of brutes which is akin to criminality. The Springfield RepubG can has this to say upon this subject:
 A good woman writes from Fall mouth Heights to call attention to the fact that a Chicago physician, moved by the practice of the storekeepers in the City of Mexico, who are required to do this thing, has arranged to give the dogs of the Illinois metropolis a drink this summer He has bought thousand two-quart basins. and the city council has allowed him to dis tribute them about the city in front of stores and houses, and the tenants will be expected to see that they are kept filled with water for the benefit of the dogs. This plan is not only hu mane, but should be preventive of hy- drophobia scNes. Our reader down on the Massachusetts coast suggest that the idea is good for Springfield and for all other places"
 It is worth the while of every com munity to see dogs and other domes- tic pets get fresh water The peril of neglect is so great that the matter ought to prompt private individuals to attend to it.

"How Doth the Busy Beev

The state convention of Connecticut bee keepers points to d comparatively small industry, and yet toIerabIy profitable one. During their season, bees, like hens work seven days in their raw material from large areas those that are cultivated. Experi- enced farmers have found bee keeping a decided advantage as an accom- pandment to gardening and fruit rais- ing, proving a means of conservation of natural resources. We have not at hand any statistics which give the value of this industry in this state but some. idea of the limits to which 1t is possible to develop it may be had from results obtained elsewhere Recent data from Consul General Mansfield of Switzerland states that there are 250.000 hives of bees in that country, each producing 40 pounds of honey in a season, making a total of 1o,000,000 pounds a year. The average price of Swiss honey fer the year 1909 was 25 cents a. pound, giving the years product a total value of $2- 500,O00. The statistics show that the highest average production for last year was in the canton of Iucerne where 5000 hives of bees produced 424,O00 pounds of honey. average of B pounds to the hive. The honey crop of Switzerland, MT. Mansfield states, is largely profit to those en- gagged in the industry, nature produc- ing the raw material.-Ansonia Sen tine1.

A GOOD TIME FOR LITTLE FOLKS

This is what the Fourth is calculat- ed to be and the Lansing, Mich, Journal thinks that it must be pos sible to give every youn gster a rat ting good time, the time of his or her life; and do it without blowing some of them into eternity.
 The Journal talks with exceeding good sense upon this subject. It says:
 If we are going to take away from the Siddies fireerackers, powder and toy pistols on the Fourth, what shall We give them instead?
 You can't expect the boys and girls to sit around the house and tWirl their thumbs or play drop the handker- chief on the Fourth when they can do these things every other day. Just because, the Fourth ought to be safe and sane is no reason why it shouldn't be a jolly one to the little folks"
 So this enterprising paper invites every one to write a 300-word letter how to make a rattIing good time for the kids without endangering property or their lives. It has faith that it is possible for sane parents to give the little ones a dandy, fire-crackerless Fourth.
 This is something parents can read fly study to do and without doubt succeed at it.

WILL FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS.

The ruling of the national govern ment under the pure food act with reference to floating oysters has cre- ated much feeling among oystern3e T in all parts of the country, and they have by their protests forced the a agri- cultural department which has the matter in charge to twice modify the floating oysters rule. Of the latest movement the Newark, N. J., Ney.s says:
 '"The floated oyster ruling seems 10 have been modified a second time. Tine first order of the department of agri- culture was that floating must be stop ped. This was so amended that oSs- tcrmen might float their oysters, trt must distinctly indicate the fact that they lad been floated, when supply ing them to customers. Now it ap- pears that the department has no oh- iection to the process if the water in which the floating is done is Of the same saline content as that in which the oysters are grown. This does inc oystermen little if any good, for the oysters will not fatten unless floated hear the mouth of some fresh water creek Meanwhile the Jersey oyster men are disregarding all tho assrit uI- tural departments orders, and are pre- parj1G for a bitter legal battle to maintain their right to float thci- oys- :ers ir waters that are not Polluted. Recently some 30, 900 bushels of oyster shells were spread over several hun dred acres of abandoned oyster grounds near Atlantic City, with a view of retaining the beds and great ly increasing the oyster produet it is or.e of the states greatest indus tries and is capable of being vastly IeV eIored''

THE DEPARTING COMET.

As the comet recedes, the talk of comet weather becomes more persist ent It is now three times as far away from the earth as it was lon May sth, but It's influence upon mundane affairs is still being considered.
 What is a comet, any way? The scientists are not agreed upon it-for since the days of Newton there have been scientists who agree with his opinion that a comet compressed could be put in a mans pocket and there are others who think they may be worlds in embryo; and still others who think that they are composed of the debris of old planets that have gone to pieces.
 It is not strange that there is such a diversity of opinion upon the sub iect, for it Is the subjects the world understands least that are most dis cussed and that the people are most at variance upon.
 It is not apparent to any rational being why there should be so-called comet weather. There is no reason why an object that looks as hot as the comet does should make our atmo- sphere cold If it was the gases of the tail a million miles wide which the earth was several hours in pass ing the coldest weather would have been on May 18th and just before and after This is not the case. On June 5th a black frost killed potatoes in New London county, and that was eighteen days after the comet had be- gun to recede and was 36, OOO, 900 miles farther away from the earth than on May 18th. Now it is ten days later and Halley's comet is 70,0o0,000 miles away. As the New Haven Register points out, If we should have con- spicu0usly clear night within the pres ent week, you might be able in the far southwest to discern a faint blur red star. with a sort of searchlight dimly streaming from it"; and the as- tronomers will see it for a few weeks more, when it will be lost in the depths of space in it's run to a point 5000 100000 miles beyond the planet Neptune.
 comet is not a weather breeder or a revolutionizer of men, or even a bad omen, or bad odor. Men in their fear imagine things, and it is likely that out of the imagination of men all these things proceed. even the comet weather when the comet is 7O.oO0.000 miles away

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

At last we have something definite about the adjournment of congress. We are told that the White house in formation on Tuesday was to the ef- feet that congress might adjourn on Saturday of next week. There is, of course, a chance that this programme may be seriously upset. especially as the president is insisting that the statehood bills shall be enacted into law before adjournment is taken.
 It looks as if congress had finally got move on. A special despatch from Washington says:
 Tn urging the statehood Legislation President Taft Monday sent for Sen ator Beveridge of Indiana. and had a long talk with him for the first time since the Indiana republican conven- tion, at which the president felt that attacks had been made upon his ad- ministration- The president told him that he desired statehood at this ses- sion for New Mexico and Arizona.
 Tuesday morning the president had a further conference with Senator Dick If Ohio, a member of the territories committee. of which MT. Beveridge is chairman. Governor Sloan of Arizona was also at the White house Tuesday, Although the house already has pass ed statehood bill, it is said that the lower branch of the congress stands ready to accept a bill prepared by the senate and that one will pa ss the senate within 1fre next week. An agreement is said to have been reached by which the senate will take the house postal savings bank bill in re- turn for the house taking the senate statehood bill.
 The conservation legislation. siv- ing the president authority to with draw water power sites Dhosnhata and coal lands, etc, under special legisla- ton for the distribution of these lands can be passed, will be taken up i'm mediately after the postal savings bill IS out of the way and the statehood will follow conservation"

Combined with Fruit.

Lemons are not the only fruit that combine well with strawberries. With rhubarb they are delicious. Stew the rhubarb in the usual way and add the hulled berries until it is red.
 This combination makes an excel lent appetizer at breakfast
 Pineapple dice and strawberries s stewed together are a rich conserve that is most appropriate at supper ol luncheon. Add sugar to sweeten, but not too much.
 Strawberries combine well with cherries and may be preserved or made into a marmalade with pine apple.
 The cherries should be sprinkled literally with sugar and allowed to stand for about an hour before mix ing with the strawberries

Day of the Tuck.

Tucks are highly in favor, from their broadest, including plaits to theiI flnest-the pin or hair tucks of long memory.
 Fine underclothing has always re- joiced in quantities of these wonderful little tucks which, on the better quaIi- ties, are made by hand, although if seems impossible that anything So large as human fingers should make anything so small as these tucks
 As trimming to outer garments they afford quite the best method of ornamenting blouse which is in tendes1 to be for morning wear. They take away from it's pIainness without making it elaborate. Not that they are confined to blouses-indeed. tucks trim every sort of garment, from the plainest to the richest

Persian Embroidery.

The craze for Persian effects has invaded the realm of fancy work, and one of the mosct popular pieces of cream canvas worked with a new thread is called iris pompadour.
 This comes in a ball and instead of being a solid color it is dyed in a va riety of shades on the Persian tints, balls one can get all the necessary colors in one ball.
 The designs are stamped for cross stitch and when worked produce a Persian effect. Scarfs, bureau coy- CTS, cushion tops, table covers and mats are decorated in this way and finished with deep hemstitching.

For Brides.

The home embroidered wedding veil is new-if old things can ever be new. It is, at any rate, a revival, and the lace work which is of the hand-run variety, extends down the whole front edge. like the border on. delicate lace curtain.
 With the veil laid simply over the top of the head and falling gracefully down over the sides of the face, the whole border of lace is in evidence.
 Tulle, a little heavier than the most perishable illusion is chosen for veiis that are to be thus embroidered.

 She makes an eight-inch square of several thicknesses of old toWeling, in which she slips a layer of asbestos pa per or a thickness of canvas The edges are turned in, stitched. and to one corner is fastened a long tape with buttonhole at other end.
 By means of buttonhole the holder can be fastened to button of apron band and the litter kept in apron poek- ct until needed.

Cultivate Happiness.

I had occasion to call at a home the other day where a sweet old lady lay dead. Instead of crepe on the door there was little cluster of day break pinks and ferns
 Within, not a shade was drawn. Nor was there any of that dreadful pall- like hush one usually feels in the house of death. I could hear the children playing upstairs quite as usual.
 And yet I do not believe grand mother and mother was ever more loved than this little old lady who had died.
 You see, I am trying to keep ev- erything about the home much as us- ual" said the mother. T will not cry when the children can see me. l will not have the shades drawn, nor have crepe on the door. nor let that dread ful hush be cast on my home. l do not want my children to think of their grandmother's death as anything ter ribIe.
 'She lived a sweet life and she died a sweet and peaceful death l have told them all that grandmother has gone to sleep, and that she looks So happy and peaceful because she was always so good that she has sweet things to talk about.
 T have told them to go and play and not feel unhappy. because l am sure grandmother is happy.

Select a white cake recipe, using pink sugar instead of ordinary granu- lated, or color the dough pink with a little vegetable coloring matter.
 Flavor with lemon. When done spread between the layers and over the top an icing prepared from pow dered sugar and fresh berry juice.
 Spread strained strawberry pulp sprinkled with lemon juice over the filling before pressing the layers to- gether. The suggestion of a lemon flavor in this cake prevents 1t from being insipidly sweet. as strawberry cakes are so likely to be.
