CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT.

Theodore Roosevelt does not care 10 be made a show of-he wants no spasmodic spIurges made over his ar rival in this country, or any other. He held up the royal preparations at Berlin and the extravagant proposal of Paris He will accept a reception from the American people to be ar- ranged by Collector Loeb, who is well aware of his personal tastes "See Loeb.v said his cablegran, and this little direction has led the politicians to predict that William Loeb, Jr., will be the next republican candidate for the governorsflip of New York. The Portland Press. commenting upon this, says: If MT. Loeb were to care to leave his important federal position as collector of the customs for the port of New York. where he has already been unusually successful and has done the country great service in the exposure Of the sugar frauds, to enter more active politics and become the stan dard bearer of his party in the state, it does not take a prophetic eye to see that he most likely would lead his party to victory. Loeb would have the powerful backing of the administra- tion and Colonel Roosevelt. He has demonstrated his ability and, with out doubt, he would be a worthy suc- cessor to the present worthy and high Iv esteemed governor of the Empire state"

New Names for Turbans.

Evidently the turban is to take on as many kinks and curls as the Inilli- ner can devise. And with each new kink comes new name.
 We have had Turkish, Uhlan, Rus sian, Cossack, Sultan; and now we arc to have Rem mbrandt, Henry IT., Hussar, DeStael Drum Major and Napoleon.
 The drum major turban is trimmed with a circlet of antique gold and bronze set with jewels.
 The latter are very new and smart and will not stir the wrath of the Audubon societve A thick quill is used It is amazing what influence the Au- dubonists are having on millinery and these quills are one outcome of it.
 Bronze lace is widely used for trirn- ming.
 Another model that has startling dis tiRction is trimmed with an heroic pansy made of hue and violet bugl~z with a gold center.

A VACUUM STREET SWEEPER.

The editor of the New Bedford Standard sees a public benefit in the vacuum cleaner which in so many ways carries delight to American households. The street cleaning pro- cesses of today and the dust raising they create, filling the air with filth and disease germs, are crude and per ilous- The Standard says:
 with spring winds carrying clouds of dust before them, the lone man with his brush and wheeled barrel ambling over a busy business street is nothing short of ludicrous The intention in placing him there is so good-the results are so inapprecia ble. Ten men to a block in every block in a. city could not keep that city as free from dust as would be desirable.
 Probably a vacuum street cleaner wouldn't keep the dust quite out of our lungs and out of our houses and shops: but 1t would do more in that direction than has ever been done be- fore Street making is being repadily revolutionized- Sucking up dirt from macadamized roads would not have been practical. The new roads of the present and the roads of the future, or until something still better is con trived. are going to have a tarred sur face that can be wiped free from dust. A vacuum cleaner could do the busi- ness. if it worked as well as some of the indoor machines now in operation The first expense would probably be considerable for city outfit, but the speed and effectiveness with which the dust could be withdrawn from harm must certainly commend vacuum cleaning for streets-if it has been proven really practical"

RETURNS THAT MUST BE MADE.


 We all want to know how to meet we should tell him. Instructions com ing from Washington say. Servants and laborers. or other employees who live with the family and sleep in the same house or on the premises, should be enumerated with the family
 The census bureau states that there will be. on the other hand, a certain number of persons present and per haps lodging and sleeping in districts at the time of their enumeration who do not have their usual places of abode there. These areS not to be enumerated. It must be assumed that they will be enumerated elsewhere. The canvasser should not, therefore. unless it is practically certain that they will not be enumerated anywhere else, enumerate or include with the members of a family they are enumer- ating any of the following classes:
 Persons visiting a family.
 Transient boarders or Iodgers who have some other usual or permanent place of abode.
 Students or children living or board ing with family in order to attend some school. college, or other educa- tional institution in the locality, but not regarding the place as their home. Persons who take their meals with a family, but lodge or sleep elsewhere. Servants. apprentices, or other per sons employed by a family and work ing in the house or on the premises, but not sleeping there; or
 Any person who was formerly in a family, but who has since become a permanent inmate of an asylum, aims house. home for the aged. refornatory, prison, or any other institution in which the inmates may remain for long periods of time.

Blue JewaIrx.

Never has blue been more in favor for iewelry than this season. The woraan who can afford turquoise. sap ptdres or aquamarines is reveling in them. whether the color is or is not especially becoming.
 These precious stones are not only being turned out in handsome rings and brooches. but the woman who can anord them has the close dog collar made of them or sports them closely set op long gold chains or in belt buck les and hair ornaments
 The chief objection to the turquoise is that it will discolor with use. The greatest care must be taken not to let water touch it. Some women think this does not apply to good gems. They find their mistake too late.

Necessary Gown.

4 modiste claims that three dresses a season are sufficient for the average woman, citing the ever-useful tailor made, calling gown for afternoon wear and decollette for evening wear. This might do in a case of necessity. but no society woman can get along with one evening dress for an entire season any more than she can get along with one pair of gloves woman moving in circle of well dresed women must dress equally well or else step down and out. Her dress must be good, stylish and noticeable. Dress does not make the woman, but it most assuredly does make her place in cir cles where stylish attire is more im- portant than many other things.

Mrs Jamieson, the well known au- thor, was a great admirer of beautiful hands. and thus expressed herself on her fayorite point in a woman. "A white hand is a very desirable orna- ment, and hand can never be white unless it be kept clean: nor is this all, for if a. young lady excels her coInpan- ions in this respect, she must keep her hands in constant motion, which will cause the blood to curcu1ate freely and have a wonderful effect. The motion reconm ended is working at the needle, frightening her house and making her self as useful as possible in the per- forTnance of all domestic duties"

Spoon Shower.

 A young girl who was to marry a man not blessed with a great store of this worlds goods was the recipient of novel and acceptable shower. The girls, twelve in number, contributed the price of dozen spoons. Each one was done separately in tissue paper and put in a lovely pie made in the shape of wedding bell; a white satin ribbon ran to each place. When the bride pulled her ribbon a spoon bear ing this jingle was forthcoming:
 One spoon for two.
 Ohi what fun1
 But then you see,
 You two are one.
 The rest of the girls drew each a spoon, and exclaimed, as they just matched the one drawn by the bride elect, that they must all go to her. The refreshments were little out of the ordinary. First, shrimp salad served in heart shaped cases, with coffee and nut sandwiches mixed with mayon- naise dressing. Then a delicious tutti- fruiu in bel1-shaped molds.

THE PROBATION SYSTEM |
 COURTS.

The probation system has been tried quite frequently in Vermont courts of the lower order, either in municipal or the county tribunals: and when the power is discreetly used, it serves to good advantage In Massach- setts it has been used much more frequently, and the results there have been found fairly satisfactory, as told by Judge DeCourcy of the Massachusetts su- perior court. He says that it is par ticularly valuable in the case of young offenders, since 1t saves them from the stigma and contamination of pris- on life; it disciplines them in a. 1sre- formatory without walls" while at the same time saving for the family the wages of a regular occupation and at the same time saving money for the state. The same considerations apply in Vermont; and the power to grant probation is we'll made. Only this, there needs to be distinct warn ing to those exercising the power to analyze the eases thoroughly and study the individual prisoners who come be- fore them. lest the probation power be made a by-word with criminals and minor offenders.-Barre Times
 There is no doubt these averments of Judge DeCourcy of the Massachu- setts superior court are well founded. When it comes to sending up a bank robber for defalcations, he should get something better in the name of jus tice than one year, with an alternate sentence of five years, in state prison. This is making the law a by-word and is no credit to the probation sys- tenn or the state. It strikes The Bull letin that this kind of system is better for juveniles than old reprobates but in some cases it might be economy to the state and the family to resort to it.

ESSAY ON KING SOLOMON.

A little girl in a neighboring
town tells the world What SHE
knows about King Solomon in
the following essay:
"Kirg Solomon was a man
who lived ever so. many yeals
ago, and in the cotintfy which
he governed was the whole push.
He was an awful wise man and
one day two women came to
him, each one holding Oh to the
leg of a baby anil nearly pulling
it III two, both claiming it, and
King Solomon wasn't feeling
right good, aild he said! "Why
couldn't that brat been twins
and stopped all this bothern'
And he called for his sword and
was going to cut the brat in two
and give each one piece of it,
when the one who was the real
mother said: IF can't have a
whole baby 1 don't want any"
Then SOLOMON told her to take
the baby and so home and wash
its face, for he knew it was hers.
and told the other woman to go
chase herself. King Solomon
built SOlomon's temple and was
the father Of all the Masons. He
had 700 wives and 800 | a d y
friends land that is why there are
so many Masons in the world.
My papa says that King Solo
mon was a warm member and ]
think he was the hot stuff my
self. That's all 1 know about
Solomon. '-EX.

That has been demonstrated by
the practical application of This

Another of its winning features
is that it is a recognition of the

no longer any doubt that the
right of the people to rule un-
