THE INCOME TAX.

All democratic governors do not feel alike about the income tax amendment to the constitution. Governor liar mon of Ohio had this to say in his message upon the matter:
 ''Without such tax the expenses of the federal government which now amount to s1 O0O. .0OO. GOO per year, can not be fairly distributed. They are now collected by tariff and other taxes on consumption. and the enormous invested wealth of the country escapes. A few states have undertaken to tax incomes, but as I am advised, with little success. Changes of legal resi- dence are too easy to make. The eff ciency of a federal income tax has been proved. And the levying of one would help secure the lowering of tar fir taxes so greatly and generally de- sired. while the people will watch more closely what is done with their money " hen they know they are paying taxes and how much"
 The Boston Post. democratic paper, says:
 Tn this progressive year the income tax amendment ought to be accepted by n number of states sufficient to in sure it's success. And we look to see the Massachusetts legislature reverse the hi1cbound and selfish attitude taken on the great question last ses- sion"

There seems to be lot of foolish strife over the selection of county
 commissioners in this county. It is conceded by all that the present
 board is model one, and that public interests would be best conserved by the retention of all it's members. However declining health compels Commissioner Chadwick of Lyme to decline reelection to the position he has long filled so well. Frederick J. Brown of Lebanon, who is proposed as his successor. will make a worthy commissioners to fill the vacancy. There seems 10 be an attempt to dis place Comm issioner Williams of Mys- tic. x-ReprcSentative Smith of No- ank, ex-Senator Bradford of Mont vile and Representative Allyn of Led . yard are all candidates for his place. but the 17 republican members of the general assembly of New London county, to whom will be left the de- cision. will art wisely and please the people of this section if they retain the present encumbent.

The Desirable Guest.

The person who can talk entertain insly is the best type of guest at so- cial gatherings. for she who chatters necessarily is almost more undesirable than one who is too qlIiet-for the lat ter gives opportunity for other persons to express themselves, while with the former to say even one word is often a struggle.
 The balance between these extremes is the art of stimulating a temporaary companion to conversation, and at no place is it more important to adopt the correct attitude than at a dinner. More than one man has been obliged to talk so much when sitting beside a quiet woman that he has not eaten enough. Such conduct on the part of a woman is decidedly inconsideraate, for if she is not willing to add her quota to the evenings entertainment she should stay at home.
 At dinners and also at formal lunch cons it is a good idea to watch the plates of neighbors. and if one per son has been talking so much as to have fallen behind in the course it is tactful to take conversation into ones own hands, giving the other a chance to listen and at the same time to eat.
 It is not good form to monopolize the attention of one neghbor to such an extent as to prevent her from ta lk- ing with the person on the other side Often it is a temptation when on one side is an attractive person and on the other side one who is dull, but po- Iiteness makes dividing the attention necesSary.
 f If one person is kept constantly fin conversation by one neighbor at a dinner it means that he or she on the other side sits much of the time with no one to talk to, for the guest far ther on is certainly giving some time to the person on his or her other side

NEW LONDON COUNTY LEGisLA
 TORS

The announcement being made by the Mclean factionists that most of the New London county members of the legislature are on the senatorial fence. after designating five of them as being positively for Mclean, looks queer to the people who elected them.
 The only Mclean men The Bulletin knows anything about are the two from Lyme; and it feels sure that All the others were elected as men who believed that Senator Bulkeley de- serves and should be accorded another term fin the United States senate.
 Being shown the positive claims be- ing made against him by special cores spondent to the New York Times Sa turday. Senator Bulkeley said: "All ] have to say is that a majority of the senators and representative were elected on the understanding that they would vote for my renomination. If they vote in accordance with this un- derstanding I will be reelected United states senator without a doubt"
 The one thing which should be in sisted upon by all is that the vote for United States senator shall be made by roll call so that every members constituents may know exactly how he voted. Since the Mclean press has ever since the state convention screamed for this reform we shall ex- pect to see that faction leading the en- deavor to have an open. registered vote-a vote that honest men never take an exception to.

FORTY YEARS OF VALIANT sERv.

The coast life savers have been in active service forty years on the goth of April next and their record is a continuous list of achievements from a financial or a heroic standpoint. Not a year has passed since the service was established that has not been marked by the saving of millions of property and thousands of lives through the trained efforts of these men. Ten years ago they saved about five-siNths of over seven millions of property involved in shipwreck and of 3.I15 lives at hazard only seventeen were lost The cost of all that was less than a million and three quarters During the past fiscal year, according to Superintendent I<inf)alFs report. the expense was about half a million more, but they saved or helped to save. ships and cargoes of the value of more than ten million dollars and of seven thousand lives in jeopardy only ffty-three were lost. The year has beon a trying one, especially the latter portion of it, but for that matter every year is one of trial and strug- gle to mariners and life-savers.
 A bill providing pensions for those disabled or too old for service was passed by the senate last winter and is now before the house. It is thought by the superintendent that the house should give special attention to this measure and enact 1t into law This is something which should have been done long ago: but since the 10th an- niversary has been reached this seems n most hitting time to properly reward the surfmens heroism and sacrifice

THE WORLD ALMANAC.
Tn New Volume for 1911 Every New
 Fact Has Been Added.

All the phenomenal growth and de velopment that have marked the prog ress of events throughout the world in 1910 are reflected and recorded in The World Almanac for 1911. To enumer ate its new features would be to emu merate everything new and important that has taken place in the last year It's great mass of statistical informa ton on every subject in which anyone would be likely to be interested has been revised and brought down to the last moment of the closing year, and so many new facts and figures have been added that apparently no information of value or importance has been omit ted, while for accuracy The World Almanac has never been excelled.
 The completeness with which the subjects are treated is shown by the fact that fifteen pages are devoted to detailed facts concerning the new Science of Aviation "The High Cost of Living" is another subject treated at length in detail.
 All the important laws of congress and Of state legislatures are clearly summarized. The progress of science, art government, religion education, labor, industry, commerce, finance, navigation, exploration and a thousand or more other subjects are set forth concisely. making The World Almanac for 1911 a complete reference library in one volume.
 Ii is the one reference volume which may be accurately described by para phrasing Lincolns famous sentence concerning a peoples government: It is a book of facts of. for and by Tine World.

Yale's Seismograp ph.

Yale has a seisnograph, but it isn't working for the reason that money is needed to install it and to pay a man to run it. Of course, is isn't essential that Yale should have a seismograph in operation. There are several in the United States which are in running order and accurately registering the family jars of Mother Earch How ever every university in which the sciences are as freely taught as they are at Yale should have all the up to date apparatus which give a. finish to their teaching With all the wealth that is at the command of Yale it would seem as though enough funds could be found to install the seismo- graph and provide for its operation. Certainly the students would add to the wealth of knowledge they are ac- quiring by occasionally enjoying the novelty of seeing an earthquake re- corded.-New Haven Palladium.

VERMONT WARNED.

The Burlington Free Press of the 4th inst. takes up the railroad question and points out that interference os the part of the Vermont legislature with the course of the Grand Trunk scheme to reach the Atlantic seaboard will be against the interests of that state and of all the states concerned. The Free Press says:
 "The American roads to which New England is tributary gave their first conspicuous public notice of the effec tiveness of the Grand Trunks compe tition when they sought to do away with the differentials on outward bound freight. All New England manufacturers and especially all Bos- ton applaude< the refusal of the Grand Trunk to consent to the wiping out of the differentials in question, realizing that this veto meant the saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars in freights during the coming years.
 "Manifestly nothing would better suit the New Haven than to have some situation develop as a result of Vermont legislation imperiling the independence of the Central Vermont and it's ability to fulfil it's obligations which would loosen the hold of the Central Vermont on the New London Northern and thus shut the Grand Trunk out of Massachusetts. With the Grand Trunk eliminated from the Connecticut valley. the New Haven would have all southern New Eng land and practically all Vermont busi- ness in that direction at its mercy.
 The question is not what the Bos- ton ,& Maine or the Central Vermont wants. but what policy on the part of theT legislature will insure the most effective competition in trans portation for the people of Vermont in general and those of the Connecti- cut valley in particular"

Japanese Red.

Japanese red is the latest color in vogue in London and a touch of it is used in almost all articles of women's dress.
 It ts dull shade of red and is more effective when used in trimming than in whole garment. Coats of it and a few gowns have been seen but for most part it has made it's appearance on bla ok hats, as piping for dresses, or in some om the oriental embroid- cries on evening gowns.
 Fur nitts and stoles are often lined with it. and some of these are piped with the new color or have bands of it inset. For London the Japanese red is distinctly appropriate in the dull days of winter. as il makes q bright spot of color in the midst of the gray atmo- sphere.

About Oysters.

When oysters are left over from stews or creamed mixtures they can be chopped and used s salad or cro- quettes. For the former the eye must be removed. and it is better to do so for any cooking where the whole oys- ter is not essential.
 The bacon that comes ready sliced in boxes is convenient to use for pigs in blankets (oysters wrapped in a slice of bacon) when fried in a chafing dish.
 A good filling for pate shells is made from oysters and mushrooms cooked together with a rich white sauce.
 Be sure you know your dealer when buying oysters especially if they are to be eaten raw. It may save you tYphOid.

Study Einure in Mirror.

Every woman who wishes to be real ly well dressed should study her sil- houette before a full-length mirror be- fore going out.
 Many so-called well-dressed women content thmselves with the views they get of their frocks in a glass which shows only half of their figure, or in the plate-glass windows of stores as they promenade.
 With this scaut impression and the knowledge that their gowns are firm ly made and fastened in the back, they believe themselves perfectly gowned. The truth is they don't know whether they are or not, not having seen their pictures in the entirety.
