American Revolution gathered in
Washington today for what promises
to be the most exciting Continental
Congress i'm the history of the order.

daughters at the White House. Mrs.
Matthew Scott. president general. will

FASHIONS AND PADS.

Entire gowns of the ali-over beaded jet are ito be seen.
 Bead fringes matching the costume are seen on smart gowns.
 The very latest scarfs of Spanish lace are almost like a mantilla.
 Flat jewelad collars are worn at the base of the neck now; the high dog collars are not seen-
 One sees many p1umed picture hats; also chapeaux showing net, silk, wings and novel embroideries.
 Bathing suits are made in princess style and in the semi princess, which is better liked by most women.
 All bathing suits that are fashion able are made of mohair, taffeta, satin, louisine or Occasionally of foulard.
 Perhaps the greatest novelty of all in shoes is the Panama pump, made from straw. Pumps of this material have leather tips and collar.
 The chantecler madness has even struck the evening scarfs and some of the latest models are shown with roos- ters and feather designs.

WORCESTER NEEDS A CANAL.

The worcester Telegram adheres to its @afarmation that the heart or Massachusetts needs a waterway to the ocean, and that waterway, as we know is by way of the Quinebaug, Shetucket and Thames rivers to the sound; and Norwich can find no cause for doing other than seconding the motion, for it would be pleasant to see canal boats and light draught steamers. to say nothing of house boats passing '-tfle Rose of New En- gland bound for the heart of Massa- chusetts This is what the Telegram has to say upon the subject:
 When the waterways men meet in Providence the last of the month they should not forget that Worcester needs 6 canal to annex it to the sea shore. Since it was enlarged for business in 1899 the Sault Ste. Marie canal has taken care of traffic that has increased by 129 per cent Last year 5T,s95, 14e tons of freight passed through the canal, and 94 per cent of that was carried in American ves- sells. We can attend to the shipping when we make up our minds to do it, reeardless of subsidies The growth of shipping through the canals will make Americans take to the oceans with their own ships in the course of time. Worcester will want a line of steamers connecting it with Eu- rope when it gets that canal through Connecticut"

Coffee Walnut Ice Cream.

For the ice cream put pint of milk on the stove in the double boiler When it is almost at the boiling de- gree add a cupful of coarsely ground Mocha coffee. Let it infuse twenty minutes; then strain it on three eggs well beaten in the mixture bowl with half pound of sugar. Put this mix ture aside until it is cold. Then add a pint of cream and six ounces of scheli- ed walnuts, chopped fine, and a table ready to freeze place the freezer on a bench or chair of convenient height. See that the can and dasher are prop erly adjusted, then turn in the mix ture to be frozen Adjust the lid and cross bar and give the handle turn or two to be sure all is right Crush about five or six pounds of ice, and mix with it about two quarts of rock salt. Fill the space in the freezing tub to the top of the can. Turn the crank very slowly at first until the mixture is thoroughly chilled. See that the hole in the top of the tub is open and the lower one closed. Now turn the crank quickly and steadily until it turns pretty hard. Remove the cross bar and the lid Scrape off the dasher and pack the cream neatly at the bottom Replace the cover stopping the hole up with a cork. Draw some of the water off by removing the plug from the lower hole. repack with more salt and ice and cover the whole with a. piece of carpet or a blanket. Let it stand in a cold place for two hours to ripen.

LOOKING FOR THE REAL DUST
 BINDER.

While plenty of automobiling indi- Tfduals appear to know the dust binder that binds, the men who have public roads under their supervision have not vet found out which of the 250 dust binders on the market are the real thing
 The Massachusetts highway asso- citation is still looking for the most satisfactory dust binder, and that implies, of course, which will do most V ork for least money, and the other day they visited Newton and from Newton they went to Watertown and inspected four or five different pieces of road that have been treated with tar and oil. In Watertown they saw the effect of oil emulsion, and then, returning to Newton, drove over va rious pieces of treated road on the way to Wellesley. That town has made some interesting experiments with preparations of tar and asphalt oil. Returning from Wellesley to Newton they passed over a number of streets having bituminous binders of various kinds and then went to Brcokline where town and park roads were inspected. It will be interest ing to note what their opinion is later.
 State Highway Commissioner Me Donald while abroad will visit some of the famous roads in Europe some of which are being torn up by speed maniacs, and he will also have chance to learn at Brussels from the worlds authorities what in their opinion makes the best roads and the best dust binders.

THEY WILL LOSE THEIR IL
 cENSEs.

The commissioners of Worcester county are determined that the sa- loon treating habit shall come to an end,- and that the invitation from be- hind the bar to have another drink on the house" shall be forever si- fenced. The liquor dealers were given notice that this practice of in citing men to drink inordinately should cease forever, and that no liq- uor should be served over the bar that was not regularly called and fully paid for.
 The commissioners explain that treating greatly increases drunken ness. When an imbiber receives a foaming schooner from the mouse" gratis it has been found that he buys three or four more drinks to show his appreciation, and shortly after ward requires ride to the police station in a patrol wagon.
 The commissioners called in seven offenders the other day charged with keeping up the practice, and they did not deny the allegation, but said that they took the. warning of the commissioners as joke. They were told that it was no joke and that a repetition would cause them all to lose their licenses-that the call to drink on the house. must perma- nentIy cease.
 This is certainly one way to res trict a pernicious habit and an ef fective way.

FROZEN DESSERTS.

If the recipe for ice cream calls for fruit or nuts. do not add them to the mixture at the outset, but when the cream is partially frozen and the freez- CT is opened stir the half-f-ozen con- tents This rule followed, the dessert will be smoother.
 In making parfait, it is well to stand the bowl of beaten eggs in a pan of cold salt water, before pouring on the boiling syrup. Take care not to add the syrup and egg mixture to the whipped cream until it is quite cold.
 An ice clipper is quite essential in making ice cream or other frozen des- serts. The finer the ice, the better the cream can be packed. It is a good plan to mix the ice and salt well before packing the freezer. allowing D third as much salt as there is ice.
 Newspapers will be found very help ful to pack around the freezer to ex- clue the air, and they are not so un- wieldy as the customary carpet.
 In making frozen desserts remenlbe that perfaits are richer than ice cream, so that less is necessary. A quart is usually counted as a generous measure for six persons. To freeze a quart or even three pints. an eight inch cube of ice will be found ample.
 If the salt and water left in a freez- CT be drained, the salt may be dried

RELIGIOUS EQUALITY.

It is somewhat surprising that King Alfonso should have come out for re- ligious equality in Spain when there are so few people in the country of other than the Catholic faith The entire population of Spain is virtually Catholic in. religion, the Protestants numbering about 1000, Jews about
 1000 and other non- Catholics. 1s,000. The nation. by the requirements of the constitution, supports the clergy and the buildings of the church, mak- ing an annual appropriation of s. 100000 for the purpose The relig- ious orders have had a great inu-
 ence as history shows. They con duct schools and many of them pos sess highly prosperous industries. Os the 3,253 orders more than 2.600 are for women.
 The action of King Alfonso. which has brought about a crisis in Spain and now threatens revolution, was the signing of a decree which fixes a limit to the number of these relis ious orders and places all the denom- nations. Catholic, Protestant or Jew ish, upon the same level in the sight of the law.
 The bishop of Madrid denounces the decree as an actual infractIon of the constitution" Premier Canal ejas, who persuaded King Alfonso u take this step, answered the bishop of Madrid as follows:
 T wish to speak in very plain terms Never shall a foreign infiu- ence force the hands of this govern ment. Never shall the power of the church in this country assert ftsesf above the power of the state. I see religious element in Spain wht.Il is inclined to invade a sphere wi n which it has nothing to do. I have violated neither the Con cordat with the vatican nor the con stitution of my country. There are moments in life when a decisive step has to be taken. This moment has come for Spain, and we are taking the course which is the only one possible
 It is not strange that there is con siderable commotion and now and then a violent demonstration; but it is plain enough that Spain will in nowise suffer because of this change.
