A coNcEITEp BURGLAR.

It takes a smart man as well as a Aad one to be a successful burglar, and ft fig not strange that some men in the profession become conceited as well as indiscreet.
 4 burglar who robbed a store at Paterson, N- J. recently and carried of all the goods. left the following note for those who should first dis cover the loss of the goods:
 This Is the third time I have cracked safes in this town, and, take it from me, this is the easiest burg ! have ever struck. Believe me if it were not for the watchman, I would have taken the safe back to New York You surely are easy marks here"
 Every city has it's crooks. and so long as a man of this stamp is unsus- pected-is clothed in respectabiHty-it IS not an easy task to identify him, and for 2 time he will dc a success full business
 This is the season of the year when crooks find 1t easy and safe to i'm wade houses closed for the summer, and homes wide open hot nights to let in the cooling breezes, and it is up to the people to be on guard against invasion as well as the police. Be 1t said to the credit of the Nor wich police that they keep suspicious characters under constant surveil- -arca

RossiNe PHILANTHRoPIsTs.

It is not strange that people who live by their wits should find people of good heart and ample funds easy victims. especially when they operate along the lines of reform which these wealthy people favor. It is said just now to be the thing among a cer- tain class of young men to originate q reform fad, secure the names of thirty or forty prominent wealthy men. organize a society or association, take up Q collection. fix salaries for them selves, rent fine suites of rooms, get up a lot of printed matter and then use up all the money on hand. Then it ss time to take up another coilec- tion to push forward the great work.
 It is believed that a directory of these reform organizations would be very enlightening to a generous coun- try. It is alleged that great office buildings in the large cities are the rendezvous of these headquarters. Out aHtsn communities are invaded by ora SSRfn the interest of these fads. Re ports are made of what the orators say, and marked copies are sent to the wealthy phila anthropists, who pay the freight. Hokdng such offices in such rad organizations Is easier and more comfortable than working for a living at some honest pursuit
 This is not at all surprising. It takes all kinds of people to make up this grand civilizat tion of ours, and the wicked do not hesitate to make their way in life at the expense of reform, the church, or any other good work, if 1t only presents a promising field.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Put Life Into the Arena.

MT. Editor: I was pleased to see in today's issue of The Bulletin two amusing copied articles, one frnTnedi- citation made them to me still more amusing.
 The first article was from the Bos- ton Globe, and read: We are sorry to see that distinguished Bostonfan, John l.. Sullivan, writing: He has proven that" Of course Afr. Sullivan knows ts well as Dr. Eliot that the correct form of the past participIe is proved '
 Certainly "proved'' Is to be prefer red; but the Globe should remember that the Scotticis1n proven" has not been entirely knocked out" It Is used in some of the best books of today. If the Globe wants @ scrap" this hot weather, it should leave John z. and slap Life in the face for making the well established error found fl, the other copied article. The Fernin- inc Pessimist."
 Life says: The feminine pessimist worries because she is not as young as she once was; the optimist of the same sex rejoices that she is not so old as she will be-"
 If what Life says of the ladies he true, the optimist is correct; for grammarians teach us that in negative comparison we should say mot so old as," instead of not as old as.

bill to compel the corporations to fur nish service to individuals. The new bill clothes the commissioners with sufficient authority to compel the cor porations to give an attentive ear to the demands of individuals. It will be remembered that the experience which MT. Carey of Southington had brought this matter sharply to the attention of the public at the last session. The new bill follows more closely the New York state law in regard to capitaliza.- tfon than the old law did. In regard to capitalization it is almost a copy of the New York law. It will make the lips of the many chronic office seekers smack when it is stated that the new bill provides for a commission of five persons, each of whom shall have a salary of s7.500 a year. The salary was fixed at this sum in order to make membership in the commis- sion as financially attractive as a judgeship of the superior court.-Hart- ford Times.

COMPETENT CONDUCTORS DRAW
 TRADE

The value of courtesy has been dem onstrated by the receiver who took in charge the affairs Of the Third ave hue street car line in New York. When he took the road he told the men in charge of it that courtesy cost noth- ing, but worked wonders and after fifteen months of operation with this for a slogan the road is on it's feet and all the men have had two cents an hour added to their pay. Courtesy has proved to be a profitable asset both to the company and the men. Attention to aged passengers and nattended women with children is a rule with conductors until the at tention has been misinterpreted or re- pudiated to the conductors disgust, and his abandonment of the policy. Some aged people do not like to be assisted however nicely 1t may be done, and snap at the courteous; and some women with children snarlingIy repeI the good officers of the conduc- tor, who would be delighted if some gentlemen could be seen extending the same favor. Humanity is humanity, and in the mass it is just what 1t is, and not especially angelic It is bare ly possible that some conductors are rougher and more bungling than oth- ers and that some of their trouble
 
 adapt themselves to such a service = to render it in a way and a mood that is pleasing. But the car men havs ten times IS much to try their patience a s the passengers do to try theirs, and because of this the thoughtful have much charity for them in their short comings. courteous conductor is 8 jewel, and one who doesn't like to answer fool questions far from being a grovelling worm.
 Courtesy is just as good an asset to the passenger as it, is to the railroad company if he only realized it, ard brings him better service and improves the character of the incidents of life wherever he may be. Courtesy never fails to invite good will and good will is a great lubricator in business or in society.
 The Third avenue road has tested the matter thoroughly and it has lift ed it up from bankruptcy an1 made it possible to advance the pay of the men approaching S5 a month. Ii has been a good lesson all around.

To Make Starch,

To make starch, allow one-haf pint of cold water and one quart of boiling water to every two tablespoonfuls of starch. Put the starch in a large saucepan and pour on the cold water, stirring all the while with a spoon to remove the Jumps. When the mix ture is smooth, place the pan on the hot stove and pour boiling hot water over the starch, continuing the stir ring. If made properly, the starch will thicken immediately. It often happens that the water is not at boiling point when being poured on the starch, and in this case it will not thicken, and must, therefore, be emptied into a clean vessel and placed on the fire to boil When smooth, remove from the stove and strain. Set aside to cool taking care that 1t is covered so that a skin will not form over the top. To give a shiny and smooth appearance to the linen when ironed stir a piece of wax candle three or four times in the starch. This will also prevent the iron from sticking.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY OF THE
 UNITED STATES.

According to the last year book of the department of agriculture, there are 21, 720, 900 milch cows in the United States, and these are worth $702, ,945,- 900. The magnitude of the industry can perhaps be best understood when it is considered that these cows pro- duce yearly about S1, ,000, ,000 900 worth of dairy products.
 There is no other branch of diversi- fled agriculture so important to the progress of a community. The fer tility of the soil can best be main tained by the liberal use of barnyard manure and the dairy herd not only makes this possible, but dairying is also more remunerative than other branches of farming when properly carried on
 Dairying has made wonderful prog ress since the advent of the modern has not only been benefited by being furnished more wholesome and palatable article of food. but the wife in the farm home has been relieved of the drudgery in- cident to making butter on the farm. Where formerly the cream was ripen- ed and churned into butter under con- ditions not conducive to fine quality, in the finished product, and in the majority of cases by unskilled hands, Eow the most of the milk or cream Is delivered to modern creamery, where conditions are suited to the pun pose of making butter, and the result has been wonderful improve Tuenr :n the quality of our dairy prod ucts. As the quality has improved consCmption has increased and the progress of dairying has been remark able during the past decade.
 The perpetuity of the country s greatness depends upon increasing the production of farm products from year to year, a result which not only fur r,ishes our people with food, but main tains the prosperity of our farming communities. Increase in production can only come through improved meth ods of agriculture and soil improve ment When it is considered that the dairy COW is the foundation for soil improvement and farming prosperity, her importance is best understood, and interest in her should not be confined ta her owner. She is an important factor in the development and pros perity of our country.

HOW THE BILL DIFFERS.
Allows for Regulation of Rates and is
 Broader in Scope.

The public utilities bill which has been adopted by the State Business Mems association differs in some re- spects from the bill reported by the commission to the general assembly at the last session. It will not con- tain a recodifcation of the laws al- ready on the statute books for the regulation of public service corpora tions. The powers which are now vested in the railroad commissioners and in the inspector of gas meters are transferred to the public utilities com mission. The bill allows the commits sion to regulate rates. This provision, it will be recalled, was one of the prin- cfpal bones of contention at the last session. The sections in relation to the service of corporations are much broader than they were in the orig inal bill. There was nothing in that

THEY ENLIGHTENED MIR. AT
 WATER

The Connecticut Business Mems as sociation does not have any objection 10 the former president, Edward I. At water, being on both sides of the public utilities movement; but it does not Ike to be misrepresented by Il. al. He said only last week in New Haven that he believed a majority of the as sociation favored g public utilities bill, but not all He did not believe the measure would go through without opposition But he thought the asso- ciaticn for the most part favored some sort of a bill He said he supposed the matter would be thoroughly dis cussed at the meeting tomorrow, talk ing the state bill as a basis for the discussion
 MT. Atwater as director of the state association. voted in favor of a public utilities bill when the ma tier was first taken up two years ago. Since then he has taken the other side and last summer when 300 bus mess men. representing the various local associations. appeared at the capitol in favor of an efficient bill, Mir Atvater was absent.
 He did appear next day, however. with a few New Haven people. and |. endeavored to show that the senti- -nent of the New Haven associa ton had been nisrepresented by it's presi- dent the day before.
 MT Atwater rushed into print a few months ago with the statement that the State Business Mems asso- citation was interested in some sort of a public utilities bill, but had no idea of offering one to the legislature. This was only two days before a meeting of the state directors in Hartford which unanimously adopted the pres ent state association bill Previously 70 that meetings had been repeatedly held at which tentative bills were dis cussed in preparation for the final bill. Nr. Atwater did not attend any of these meetings nor has he attended any for nearly two years Tn fact at the present time, he is entirely out of touch with the affairs of the state association
 At one of the recent directors meet tngE a committee of three ex-presi- dents was appointed by Pre<id ent Jones to notify NIT. Atwater that the association had prepared a bill, and to further acquaint him with the po- siticn of the association which he was nisrePresentfng in the public prints
 It is natural that the State Business Mems association should want to be correctly understood in the premises

The use of a knot is to be avoided in sewing and not to be tolerated in embroidery The accomplished needle woman rarely finds it necessary to start with a knot, save in gathering or hasting. Sometimes tiny one is slip ped under hem. but it will show on the right side if material is sheer, and makes an ugly lump in ironing. Two or three over and-over stitches cure as a knot and much more slightly In embroidery there is no excuse for knot Two or three tiny stitches taken on outline or in body will hold any stitches. Knots only tend to untidy wrong de,which no good enlbr oiderer will tolerate, and make the work rough in laundering

JeIlied Soup.

For jellied soup the canned boullion of a good make is really better than the home made, as it as far clearer than that which can be made by one s self. A quart can will make about six cups, or even seven, if a great deal of seasoning is added. Dissolve quarter of a package of gelatine in cold water, open the boullion and pour into a sauce pan; add one teas spoonful Of lemon juice, two saltspoonfuls of salt. a few shakes of paprika, the same of white pepper, a very little onion juice, a few drops of tabasco and few drops of pickle juice Set this on the stove and when hot add the. gelatine, in tast- ing it do not be surprised to find 1t very highly favored, for when it Is cold it will not taste nearly so strong; when cool set on the ice in @ china bowl; it ought to stand about seven or eight hours: then put by table spoOnfuls into 'bouIfiOn cups and serve. It is delicious these hot days.

NEEDLEWoRk NOTES.

Shirrings of net over colored satin rattai1 appear on many of the new lace and net dresses. The color shows through attractively, and the work is necessarily done by hand, so that by no mistake in the Sewing the shirring will refuse to pull. This is one of the many ways of ornamenting the lin- gerie dress successfully at home; and this cording is a good method for the drawing in of the full skirt around the knees or below them, which is a late development of the panier.

pieces of applied chintz that hold the slipper are now made toe-shaped, so that each dainty slipper fits perfectly into it's own socket and is held in place. When all is said and done, the hanging case that accommodates full line of shoes and another case for the daintier pumps and slippers will prove more useful than separate bags for each pair.
