Amerlca Claims the Bean.

Until 1888 the bean was believed to
have originated in Asia. Researches
among the flora Of ancient Peruvian
sepulchres show that it was known In
antiquity in Peru. No fewer than so
different species have been found in
the old burying places and 40 Of the
so we're distinctly American. The Sc
pulchres explored date back to the
period beginning with the twelfth
century and ending with the fifteenth.
Within them was great number Of
beans-so many that II is reasonable
to suppose that beans held an import
ant place in the agriculture of the an
client people Of Peru. Probably the
common dried bean Of modern COM
merce was well-known in the antique
world long before the discovery Of
Columbus.

MIR. sRANDEcEE,s DIsAPPoINT.
 MENT.

The bitter feeling in some parts of eastern Connecticut over the triupmh of Mclean is probably an expression of Senator Brandegees disappoint- ment. It is to be hoped that for his own interest, as well as for the good of the state, MT. Brandegee will let his wounds heal speedily, and begin to look forward. He has been out of sympathy with the spirit of the state in several particulars, perhaps through MT. Bulkeley's influence, perhaps be- cause of his own disagreement. He is supported at home to a considerable degree, but the eastern part of the state contains only a small part of the population of Connecticut, and it never can prevail when it differs radi- cally from the larger part. Mir. Bran degee has several years to get back into touch with popular feeling again. and having expelled his bile through his friendly newspapers, he ought to feel better and be better and do bet Waterbury American.
 The Bulletin was surprised to see anything of this kind in The Ameri- can. The Bulletin is not aware of the bitter feeling in eastern Connecticut because of McLeans victory. The papers in eastern Connecticut are pro- testing against the continual abuse and misrepresentation of Senator Brandegee by the Mclean supporters. To say that The Bulletin expresses or has expressed Senator Brandegee's disappointment is gross misrepre- sentation; and it believes this is equally true of it's eastern Connecticut contemporaries. It knows Senator Brandegee we'll enough to say that he has as little to do with the press az any man who ever held high politi- cal honor. Action is what will tell in the next two years, and the chances for comparison are all right. If there is any bitterness shown by the press, it represents the feeling of eastern Connecticut republicans, and it is worthy of being respectfully noticed, too, in the western part of the state

iNcREAsE OF CITIES.

The result of the census shows that populous centers are a great attrac- tion to settlers. and it ia believed that one-haf of our population is now liv- ing in urban centers
 A statistical expert, who seems to have made a careful analysis of, the complete population figures recently given out by the United States census bureau, finds that at the beginning of 1911 there were 726 cities in the United States having a population to each of 5000 or over, as against 546 such cit ies in 1901; but. what is of far more significance, he finds that 3S.2 per cent. of the entire population of the coun- try at the beginning of 1911 was liv- ing in cities of 5000 population and over. as against s2.sS of the whole liv- ing in such urban centers in 1901. The analysis would have been far more sat- isfactory if it had included in the ur- ban count villages and towns of pop ulation rating of 500 and over. In other words, the analysis should show just what percentage of the whole pop uiation is now in populous centers.
 An increase of the cities of 5000 by 1S0 in ten years shows the trend of the age toward the better advantages of life is continuous and is not likely to change. It is claimed that this same trend in German cities has been greater in the past quarter-centry than in the preceding two centuries.

A MILD JANUARY.

January thus far has been a most satisfactory month in this section It has given us the water we needed. and 1t has taken the heavy draught off the coal bin. It has given those who fol- low old-fashioned rules for fertiIizing their lawns time to get in the work which tells, for anyone can get good grass setting if he will begin this early to give the lawn the attention that cannot be as well given it at any other time. The soft days make this possible and while the time is yet dis tant for stirring up the soil, the spreading of fertilizers and the scat teripg of lime will do much to give the grass luxuriance. The suburban dwell CT who is at this work now will have the prize lawn . few months hence.
 It is too early to tell what the next four months hold in store for us. for if would be something extraordinary if we did not have icc-making weather in the next ten weeks.
 It Is sekiom that the backbone of winter lasts in this latitude after the Z7th of February. if we do occasionally have frosts every month in the year. The winter with us has turned the center and spring is not far off.

LEGAL FIGHT IN PROSPECT.

The report that a law in New Hampshire which forbids any person in that state leaving q bequest above s5,o00 a year for any religious organ ization will interfere with the will of Mira Eddy and deprive the Mother church of her millions should be taken with q grain of salt.
 When Mary Baker Eddy died she was not a resident of New Hampshire, although she had a home in Concord; and the church she left her property to is located in Boston, and over it or her the state of New Hampshire has no jurisdiction. If the will was made in Concord, the lawyers may find a way to get up a legal contest and in a technical way milk the estate for a score or two of thousands
 The settlement Mrs. Eddy made with her heirs before her death was only step taken to prevent her chur-n from being attacked by rela- lives when her estate was being dis posed of, and it will have it's effect to strengthen the will if the relatives have been influenced to make a new fight for the legal division of her mill lions It does not look as if the Mother church would be robbed of the millions she so earnestly desired to devote to it and which she had a right to dispose of as she saw it,

Use of Perfumea.

To the girl of fastidious taste the strong and blatant use of perfumes is objectionable. And men are even vio- lent in their denunciation. Yet there is nothing sweeter than a dainty girl, unless it is dainty baby.
 It is not the use, but the abuse of perfumes and cachets that is objec- tionable. The girl who wishes to guard against this should remember that all she wants is to have her clothing tinged with a breath of delicate odor, which is never detected unless one is quite close.
 To accomplish this one should be careful in bestowing sachets about the clothing. They should always be cut to fit the place where they are to 90. Sometimes they are in the shape of rose petals to fit the artificial roses which one wears in bodice or hair, or they are made long and thin to be worn underneath a dog collar which clasps the neck.
 It is rather a fad with some girls to have their soap scented with their own perfume. Many girls use per- fume in their rooms by spraying it about or by burning sticks that are manufactured on the order of the Chinese joss ones.

Girls coiHures.

Many mothers are puzzled these days to decide how to arrange the hair of the little daughter when she gets beyond the age of .bobbed" hair or curls tied with bow.
 Simplicity and becomingness must both be achieved and the taste of the girl herself taken into consideration.
 For a young girl-say, from 13 to Is years-who is too tall to wear her hair hanging loose, about the pretti- est and most becoming way of ar ranging it is to frst divide the front and back hair to make a pompadour. held in place by a ioowknot of satin ribbon; the back part then caught just in the center and tied with a piece O. tape; the end again braided and the braid doubled back and caught into the same piece of tape with a ribbon tied over it in a pretty bow.
 By no means the least important part of the coifure is the tying of the hair ribbon. Nothing makes a young girl to look so untfdy as g. hair ribbon not carefully tied or one that is not a good color for the gown with which it is worn.
 The method just described of arrang- ing the hair possesses the great advan- tage that while it leaves the hair be- oominglv loose about the face the rib bon is at the same time held securely and will not be constantly falling off, as when it only catches the hair in the center of the back with nothing to keep it in place.

A MEASURE FOR TAXING AUTO.
 MOBILES.

Tax Commissioner Corbin has a measure for the just taxation of auto mobiles which ought to meet with the appreciation of the owners of motor carriages in all parts of the state. It is too much to expect that it will please all, but it seems to be so fairly draughted that it should com- mand the endorsement of a majority of the men having an interest in the matter.
 The commissioners plan provides that at the time of paying the annual registration fee at the office of the secretary of state, an additional amount be paid to the secretary of state, based and graded on the manu- lecturers list of selling prices with proper deduction for use, the extra amount so collected as a tax to be forwarded by the secretary of state to the town In which the owner lives i; such payment to exempt the automo- bile from all further local and state taxation
 Another provision of this bill is this:
 Instead of forwarding to the towns the amounts received from automobiles in this way. it has also been suggest sd that the same be credited to the amount which the town would pay the state in connection with the construc- ton of any highways within it's bor- ders. This plan would insure that the money paid by the automobile owners would be applied definitely to the roads"
 If this were clearly under stood, the tax might be paid with much more willingness, than if the amount received were used in defray- ing general town expenditures
 These appear to be commendable features, and to furnish a way to put a just estimate upon the value of ev- cry motor car.

A Useful Material.

Cheesecioth is to be had cheaply, and is as valuable for clusters and rubbers as many of the more eXpen- sfve fabrics. Its great merit is that it is firm, though so loosely woven that grease and dirt come out of it easily in washing. The best disflcloths are Of cheesecloth, double, with the raw edges turned in, and then stitched in the machine. Cabinetmakers use sets of three cheesecloth dusters for furfi- ture, the first for applying the oil, the second to remove it and the third as a polisher. Cheesecloth is splendid for cleaning windows and mirrors and bag of it is useful in the kitchen for straining soups

Washing Cotton Goods.
 Cotton blankets are washed differ ent1y from those made of wool. SoaD them we'll with laundry soap; fold and allow them to soak in tepid water. Wash them in an 1our or so and place in boiler of hot suds to steam, not boil. Rinse in several waters. Use a. very little bluing and dry them dou- ble on the line. Press dry on the wrong side. Quite the contrary is the process of wa ashing wooden, for hot water cannot be used on them. Dainty quilts. liable to fade, should first be soaked in a tub of cold water con- taining half cup of turpentine to set the color.

Fresh ThinuS,

Some of the signs by which to tell good fruit and vegetables are here in- d1cated: Oranges are sound and juicy when heavy, but not too hard. Radishes and turnips when spongy are not fit to eat. Pineapples are best when the edges of the toF, are smooth i; in inferior qualities the tops are of the sawedged variety. Celery is good when it breaks without much bending Asparagus should be quite stiff. Nuts cannot be judged very correctly until they are opened, but they should be of good weight and not too hard to crack
