 THAT'S WHAT II IS
EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS COL ONIAII TEST AT PEOPLES PRES ENTERTAIN CHURCH TOMOh- ROW EVENING WILL KNOW.

Both in costuming and posing, the tableaux which will have large place in The program for the Washington's birthdav party at the Peoples Presby- terrain church tomorrow evening will he historically accurate. Of the cos tuYoes. many are of venerable antiqu1- ivy for instance one of the ladies sWlll wear hair ornaments that were worn by her ancestress at one Of the fecep- tions given by General and Mrs. washington: the impersonator of Marquis de Lafayette, himself lineal in descent from Elder William Brew ster of Mayflower pre-eminence, will wear the peruke made for his forbear Comfort Brewster; and others there are of equal interest. Divers of the costumes also are prepared for this occasion, patterned on the gowns and coats of the bygone age that will be brought back for a season.
 The posing is being done under dl- rection of Miss Helen Cecil Futile, her self a reader and impersonator of much ability, whose consent to thus direct is assurance Of it's exceHence and it's thoroughness.
 Included in the tableaux, which will be given in series of four, with inter- missions for orchestra tion and the ser vice of light refreshments, are George Washington, George and Martha Washington, Washington ana LaIay- cite, Washington at home; a southern nanny, and mammy's little boy; colonial belle; in Washington's time; Priscilla and John Alden (and it is fitting that Priscilla should ever be first named); the Spirit of '76; a group of ten: PocohontaS and John smith, with Indian group; and Goodnight.
 But the garb of Colonial days will not be confined to the participants in these tableaux though the church building which lends itself kindly to decorative effects, is massed with flags and col or. with flower and plant and palm, and fer them has been erected plat form giving view from all parts of the church.
 At the entrance will stand the dop- peleanger of our esteemed Uncle Sam, and into his capacious hat will be dropped the envelopes sent out by the ladies of the church, with such birth day gifts therein as the bringers de- sire. and this forms the only admis- sion fee. Ushers, directors, announc- CTS, attendants at the dressing rooms, colcr. mistresses of the Kitchen and waitresses, all will have about their raiment something of the Colonial time.
 Mrs. Charles w. Walker is the gen. eral chairman of the committee in charge, her assistants being Mrs. Ste phen c. Osborne and Mrs. R. J. Mac Kenzie; and in addition to those who have direct supervision of details Of the evening there is a large social committee whose only duties will be to enjoy themselves and see that all others do so also.

 TRADE WITH CITY
Offers to Build Wharf for Right to Fill in Water Front Whereby Pretty Piece of Realty Would Be Gained.

The Bridgeport Brass Company de- sires to fill in a slip owned by the city which lies between the city yard and the property of the company on Housatonic avenue. In return for this privilege the company offers to build the city a new wharf at the yard.
 The proposition was submitted to the council Monday evening. Alder. men Brady. O'Connell and Paddock were made a committee, not to close the bargain, but to report whether or not committee should be raised to consider the company's offer.
 The company wishes to bulkhead in front of it's property. but does not de- sire to extend the bulkhead into the slip.
 Also the company. by closing this bargain, would gain the right to fill in the slip and additional territory, the width of the slip to the harbor line. which would make a very neat little piece of real estate

keepfng Accounts.

1t has only been in recent years that
farmers have been awakening to the
fact that by taking an inventory once
a year and by keeping an accurate
book account that many valuable les
son could be learned and that by so
doing they could place their farms on
a more profitable basis. With business
men, competition is so keen and profits
necessarily so small that without keep
ing an accurate book account they
would 500 be forced out of business,
but with farmers more slack methods
do not necessarily result in bank.
ruptcy, due, no doubt. to the fact that
the farmer gets most of his living from
the farm without any cash outlay,
whereas the merchant must pay cash
for everything he eats and wears. Not,
withstanding this fact, however, the
farmer who keeps a book account will
find it just as profitable, if not more
so, as the merchant.

Jews FILLING HOLY LANE.
Guarantee of Justice Starts Hebrews
Toward Old Home.

Owing to the establishment of a con
stitutional government in Turkey, with
guaranteed equal rights for all, the Holy
land is rapidly coming into the posses
sion of Jews. The immigration is as
founding in its extent, the Jews coming
principally from Russia and Persia. Jer-
usalem has a population of about 1O0,-
600 and four-ffths of this is Jewish.
The Jews in Jaffa, Tberias, Safed and
Haifa are reckoned by tens of thousands.
Prosperous Jewish colonies spread from
Dan to Beersheba and even south to the
outskirts Of Egypt. There is a constant
procession from Persia and every steam
er from Odessa carries hundreds Of
Jews. The valley of the Jordan, once
the property of the dethrOned Abdul
Hamid, is being eagerly sought after by
Jewish capitalists who perceive in it a
splendid opportunity for settlement by
the downtrodden of their race. In some
parts of the Holy land the value of land
has risen four-fold owing to the enormous
demand on the part of the incoming
Jews.-Richmond Virginian Pilot.

Live stock Builds Up Land.

1t is very well known that in the
old agricultural districts of Europe
where land has been under cultivation
for 1000 years there is an increasing
tendency to expand live stock indus
try. 1t is now recognized hat animal
husbandry is a wonderful help in not
only maintaining the fertility of the
soil, but also live stock industry
builds up the land. Germany o has
10.967, 900 milk cows, an increase of
100000 in the past sever years. The
total number of cattle in the empire
aggregates 20, 631 600, a gain of nearly
100000 since 1883. Pigs total 22,.

things that women like to wear. A year

least bit of white in my spring hat? she
asked.

the hat was made. Three months later
she came for another hat, and she stood

Tungsten La ps for Farms.

The introduction of tungsten lamps
is doing much to advance the use OF
electricity on farms. 1t is possible for
the farmer with a small plant driven
either by a gasoline engine or by
damming a small stream, to obtain
sufficient current to light his house
and barn with this economical type Of
incandescent lamp. The use of cleo
tricity on the farm, by the way, is
growing. and, as pointed out by the
Electrical World, farmers will in time
come to consider electricity a neces.
sity. Then it will be found profitable
to establish central generating stations
for farming districts to take the place
of the small individual plants now be.

It is generally conceded by the best
stockmen and farmers, as well as by
authorities of some of the experiment
stations, that meat animals of the fu-
ture will have to be fed and finished
in a different manner from what they
have been. Less corn and more nitrog-
enous feeds in the form of clover, cow
peas and alfalfa, supplemented with
better pastures, must be used in order
to make the production profitable and
at the same time make more and bet
ter for maintaining the fer
tility of the land.
Corn fodder and stover nave in the
past been used to a considerable TX
tent in steer feeding. thus utilizing
nearly all the corn plant. Feeding
silage to beef steers is gradually gain

advantage.

Where help can be obtained to oper-
ate the dairy, milk production is one
of the best paying branches of animal
husbandry. The farmers operating
their holdings with mich COWS are
enabled to market all the roughage
and grain produced on the farm in
milk. butter, cream or cheese. The
dairy industry is especially adapted to
build up and increase the fertility OF
the farm. 1t is popular among farm
ers because the farmer realizes a

Hints About the House.

INV
Stuffed potatoes are made by mixing
cheese and bread crumbs in with the
contents.
When boiling fresh potatoes try put
ting a sprig Of mint in the water to
give a delicious flavor TO the vege-
tables.
For a salad out of the ordinary, mix
cream cheese with chopped olives and
a boiled dressing. Serve it on hearts
of lettuce.
A tall, narrow vase makes a good
hatpin holder, if it is partially filled
with ground cork, obtained at any
drug store.
Soak all cooking utensils in warm
water before you sit down to dinner
and you will, be surprised how much
easier they will wash.
To avoid ~scraping new potatoes boil
them In their skins until tender, then
skin and put back in the steamer for
a few minutes to dry out.
Plaster figures in hard or alabaster
finish are easily cleaned by dipping
a stiff toothbrush in gasoline and
scrubbing into all the crevices.
If you have a black gown that needs
~freshening cleanse it thoroughly with
clear black coffee diluted with water
and containing a little ammonia.
After the weekly washing rub a lit
tie vinegar and spirits of camphor
over the hands. This will keep the
hands in good condition summer and
winter.
Garments that are to be hung out
to air can be put on hangers rather
than pinned to the line. This prevents
! sagging or marking with the clothes
pins.
Do not launder stockings with other
clothes because the lint from other
garments will adhere to them. Use
ammonia In water to wash them and
. they will not spot.
Never rinse lace in blue water with
the idea of improving it's color. Real
lace should be finally rinsed in clear
soft water, or, better still, in skim
milk, which will give it a soft, creamy
color.
Steel carving and bread knives can
be quickly cleaned if there is an old
razor strop in the house. This, sprin-
killed. with emery, makes an excellent
article to brighten sharp steel. Should
a strop not be o~btainable, a piece Of
cloth tackled over a long stick and
covered with powdered emery will, an
swer the same purpose. The stick
should be fiat on top.

as shown in the illustration. Around
the top of the drum is wound a Hex

improper bracing. 1t Is not enough to
staple the separate strands secured to
each post-that is splendid as far as
it goes. To have a well-stretched

necessary that a good brace or anchor
post be used and that the fence be
stretched from these anchors. A good
