STOCKING ECONOMY.

1t may seem extravaganza of clean

Should We Paint the Interior of Our
Houses Blue?

Mr.. Editor: The people in Kansas
are now painting the interior of their
houses blue to keep out flies. And for
the same purpose they are also set
ting out mop vines around their
homes.
How the hops could possibly have
any connection with the blues be-
fore the former are made into Milwau-
kee lager is a hard question to answer
but, if alum can eliminate colon bac-
terra from water to the degree that the
water becomes potable, we can see no
reason why few more hops cannot
improve the national beverage not
withstandnc the fact that flies are
said to have repugnance to the
aroma that used to be welcome to
the nostrils in the oId-time days of
honest breWeries
A psychologist tells us that the hu-
man body is ''the house we live in !:
and just now isn't it true that here
in Norwich we appear to be trying to
initiate our western friends by paint
ing the interior of the house blue with

novelties such as a black veil in alter
mating blocks, two inches square, of
different meshes, the whole run over
with a floral design in white silk The
same idea is shown in black on white,

F'ilet meshes, both in plain square

designs, or in star patterns formed by
vertical and horizontal threads, are
favored by the modish dame de Paris.
Lace wells are also worn. especially in
black and white.
Fancy scarfs in net and chiffon with
printed borders in color remain in style
and long may they flourish! One new
idea is a chiffon scarf in fiat artifi-
ciaI flowers applied in an irregular
border. Wild roses of thin silk on a
green satin scarf is another beautiful
Partisan novelty. Embroidered ends
are also stylish, the embroidery being
often cobined with round and spindle
shaped cotton beads.

Peasant Niqhtuowns,

The peasant nightgowns. which fali

hopes the style will continue in favor
indefinitely. The whole top of the

cluny or Irish insertion. There is mora
and more tendency to the real laces

cially, is seen on the filmy garments

outwear the cobwebby garment of
batiste, null or nainsoolx on which it
is placed, but it is always worth while
to rip out handsome lace from half
worn garments and use it a second

PUBLIC UTILITIES.

The legislature was pledged to the
Business Mems association Of Con-
necticut to pass a public utilities bin
at this session, but it looks as if it
was being led by the leaders to a fall
ure through disa greement.
This should not be, for the matter
has been in tow now for the past six
years, and the goods must be deliv-
cred. or the republican partys future
is all behind il.
The people want a public utilities
bill passed; so does every business
interest OF the state; so does the re-
publican party: and it is up to the
representatives of that party to get
together upon such a measure and
pass ii. if they expect the people to
continue the party in power
over in Fairfield county, a caucus
Of the senators and representatives
has been called TO punish stiles
Clarke, representative from Monroe,
for his support OF the Banks bill and
the violation of his promises. The res
oiution to be acted upon is as fol-
lows:
Resolved: That we. the democratic
representatives Of Fairfield county. of
the state Of Connecticut, do hereby re-
woke, rescind. annul and repudiate the
nomination made by us Of Stiles Clarke
Of Monroe for county auditor, in con
sequence of said Stiles Clarke voting
against the senate public utility bill,
needless OF his constituents. and his
prediction pledges. His conduct
fully determines TO us his unpatriotic
sense. his utter unitness for any pub
lie Office that We might bestow, and
the destruction of all confidence we
have in him. Re it further resolved,
that this resolution be sent to not
less than three of his constituents at
Monroe"
The next thing in order in the house
viii be to take the minority report
from the table; and we have the as
Eurance Of Mr.. Banks that he will
support the measure although it will
have to be amended. 1t Is up to the
menbers of the house who have pledg-
ed themselves to pass a public utilities
bill this session 10 see that the enc
mics of this measure do not make it
useless by amendments.
The whole game may be to make
amendments which the senate will not
accept and thus let the matter fail
because an agreement cannot b.
reached.
A failure of this sort win not be
gracefully accepted By the people.
There Is no reason why the opposing
forces cannot get tOgether and agree

THE MAN WHO ROCKS THE BOAT

The man who rocks the boat seldom
gets drowned or is called to answer
in court for his criminal foolishness:
but boat rocker in New Jersey wa
ters brought himself to grief in his
endeayor to resent a drubbing which
he richly deserved. This rocker of a
boat at Caldwell. n. J., got the wo-
men in the party into mysteries, and
his male companion had to row the
boat to shore alone. Then, DIS the boat
rocker stepped out. still laughing over
his performance, the compan Mon dealt
him a blow which threw him sprawl
ing into the water. That should have
closed the affair. But the boat rocker
had his companion arrested. His griev-
ance gained no sympathy in court.
For his pains he was rewarded with
lecture and had the chagrin TO listen
to the advice that he himself be pros7
ecuted.
No action was taken against this
fool who lacked every element of man
hood and decency; but was in good
company. 1t would have served him
right TO have had him prosecuted and
sent to jail.

PRESIDENT TAFT's FIRM STAND.

stand he is taking upon the ratifica-
ton Of the treaty Of reciprocity.
which he declares he will veto il a

ever been: LaFollette lost his grip by

ency movement is disintegrating day

democrats in traditional Head ana sue

come disorganized. and it's adhcrents
reduced to a rabble with -he president
stronger than ever. With the death Of
Dolliver died real insurgency. Those
who now support it are place hunters
rather than principle promoters.
The strength of Taft stands out as
has that of no other president in the,
history of the nation with a divided
party, with democrats in control of
one house. and. by coalition. showing
they may control the other"

annoy one another in vehicles or mo-
tor carriages. 1t is quite difficult to
analyze the character of the men
whose deafness. stubtornness or ILL
manners prompt them to be discour
teous to one another on the public
thoroughfares. They decline to heed
signals or to recognize the amenities
common among decent men.
1t would be a good thing if the law
was invoked oftener; but travellers and
busy people dislike to be delayed in
order to take the legal steps neees-
sary to teach such persons lesson.
