A garden club may be started from
a very small seed, but it is bound to
grow, giving a new interest to many
who have never really known the
possibilities of their country places,
the pleasure of understanding a grow
ing garden. Such a club was recently
started, and but a few rules were
found necessary. A president was
chosen, a secretary and a
committee of three to suggest the topic
to be written upon. All the members
must have gardens. All were privileged
to ask any friends to the meetings at
their houses.
A slight fee enabled small prizes to
be given-such as the finest rose to be
grown, the prettiest arrangement OF a
center piece, the loveliest bunch Of
sweet peas, the finest peonies or the
best chrysanthemums.
At each meeting paper on gardens
is read During the winter meetings
are held once in two weeks or once a
month. Topics are chosen with regard
to requests from members on certain
subjects. The proper separating OF
bulbs, when to plant seeds in boxes
and how to thin out the seedlings. Elk
tracts from authorities on each sub
ject are read and compared, the ideas
often varying materially.

MEMBERS of the New Jersey Senate were
given shock last week when 1t was an
nounced that the names of two of their
fellow members had been brought into
prominence in a rather unenviable manner.
Proceedings were begun to disbar from
practice at the bar Senator Gebhardt, the
charge being that he had influenced the
Sheriff of his county to draw juries. This
charge the Senator will defend and says
he only did what many others have done
given the Sheriff a list of names of persons
eligible and fit for jury duty. This matter
does not affect the standing of the Senator,
being more In the nature of action against
him as lawyer and he says 1t is simply a
political affair. The other case is more
serious. involving the reputation of Senator
Fitzherbert, of Morris county He is
charged with demanding bride of $4,000
for aidingi In the killing of two bills that
affected corporation. An investigation
of this charge was at once begun and is
still on, and 1t looks very much as if the
accused Senator will have a hard time
clearing away the cloud that overshadows
him. In the preliminary examination of
the affair he made admissions which did
not aid him In the least and it looks very
dark for him. While there appears to
have been shrewd manipulation behind
the Senator, who possibly has been made
somewhat of goat" yet he does not
appear to be entirely innocent. The COM
mittee which is investigating the affair
will probably show the matter in its true
light.

How TO Clean Eurs.

If ones furs are dirty bran is sim
pie, inexpensive and easy material
with which to freshen them up. First
of all, however, the bran should be
heated. This is best done by placing
it in an earthen dish and warming II
in the oven.
When the bran is hot take it out, get
q piece of flannel and with this rub the
hot bran well into the fur. Then let II
stay in the fur for at least half an
hour, after which it should be thor
oughly shaken out. To make sure that
it all comes out the fur should be well
brushed until the piece is perfectly
clean.
Sometimes one cleaning is not sufh
clint, especially If the fur be particu
larly dirty, but two or three applica
tons should surely be sufficient.
The bran simply draws out the dirt
leaving the fur fresh and new In ap
pearance-

THE POPULAR BEAN.
Hsw to Prepare the Boston Dish In
Fireiess Cooker.

Hew to Prepare the Boston Dish In
Fireiess Cooker.
Perhaps no baked beans ever will
equal in delicious qualities those baked
IN huge brick oven or in a hole in
the ground. yet the tireless cooker may
produce a product resembling those
nonpareils-that is, fireless with radi-
ators or heating units might.
Friday morning is none too early to
pick over the beans that are to be pre-
pared for a Saturday evening meal
After long soaking they must be par
boiled with a pinch of soda until they
have swelled as much as they will and
broken their skins; then they must be
drained In a colander and washed
through many waters.
Some cooks prefer to put their well
scored piece Of pork In the bottom OF
the pot, some on the top, and yet 9TH
ers bury it in the middle. And as to
this pot, shall 1t be of iron, earthen-
ware or tin? Boston's symbol is an
earthenware pot, gathered in at the
neck, but thick iron pot, larger at
the top than at the bottom, will pro-
duce a par excellent bean, one that is
almost If not quite savory.
Beans, If thoroughly cooked. absorb
a great deal of moisture. They are one
of the highly concentrated foods that
will stand a great deal of diluting.
They take in much water while soak
ing-perhaps for forty-eight hours.
They take up more in parboiling. and
even then they have not reached their
capacity. The more they get the more
agreeable food they are, and 1t some
times seems as if they are as thirsty
as the sands For this reason it Is al
most impossible to bake them without
reflling the pot with water at least
once, if not oftener Even though they
must be done, If they are to have the
old fashioned luscious character that
80 few people know, and, Of course,
the radiators will have to be reheated:
but, even So there will be an enormous
economy of fuel They can hardly be
cooked too long-within reason, of
course-if they are kept moist, and the
longer they cook the more digestible
they are.
The radiators should be sizzling hot
in the first place, and the beans will
be better if started well in hot oven.
1t used to be customary to put them
into the brick oven to take off the first
strong heat and prepare it for the pies
and breads, but they were left in until
the oven was barely warm

VERY few laws on the statute books of
New Jersey have created as much con-
fusion and doubt as the Strong act, which
has for Its purpose the reduction In the
size Of the Board of Freeholders. De
fects have been found which have led to q
doubt whether anything that has been
done under this law Is correct. and there
haYe been number of bills introduced at
the present session of the Legislature to
remedy the defects. The latest were In
troduced by Senator Lewis and Assembly
man White. If they should pass 1t is
thought the entire matter will be settled.
They certainly should be pushed through.
The people of Burlington county have
spoken Ia unmistakable tones on the SUBJ
ject and, by large majority, have said
they wish the Board reduced in size. To
have this go for naught will not be salts
factory. The Attorney General is report
ed to have said that unless something is
done the people will have to vote on the
subject again this fall To have the work
and vote of last November thrown aside
will be discouraging, and it is thought
the bills above mentioned will sustain the
action of the voters last year. 1t is to be
hoped this is so and that the bills will be-
come law.

A BILL to abolish capital punishment
was introduced In the Legislature this SEES
sion and was reported adversely, the re-
port being sustained. This shows that
our lawmakers are not yet ready to abol-
ish the death penalty, and it Is to their
credit that they have so decided. Perhaps
II there was some assurance that the par
don or parole system would not be so
literally applied there might be reason for
doing away with the death penalty, but
that seems to be very remote possibility.
The committee appointed five years ago
to inquire into the adyisability of abolish
Ing hanging made inquiry of SS states
and discovered that only five of them had
done away with capital punishment. If a
guarantee cannot be given that sentence
Of life imprisonment will mean what 1t
says 1t will be just as well to let the pres

THE Supreme Court of Wisconsin in a
decision just rendered has held whole
sale toy and fireworks firm of Milwaukee
responsible for the killing of boy whose
death resulted from tetanus superinduced
by wound caused by toy pistol pur-
chased by the victim from a retailer to
whom the wholesalers had sold the deadly
device. This judicial action seems the
logical method of reaching the evil aimed
at, but If farther backward step were
taken in such cases by holding the manu-
facturer instead of either the wholesaler
or retailer responsible the result would
prove more practically effective. II the
toy pistol were not manufactured 1t could
not be sold and consequently could not
reach the hand of the average boy who,
despite all warnings, will continue to daily
with 1t just as the wholesale or retail
dealer will persist In selling 1t despite all
prohibitory laws If he can obtain it. Put
permanent stop to the production of the
toy pistol and all abortive circumlocution
will be avoided in giving surcease to the
ravages of tetanus from toy pistol wounds

WITH the release from the state prison
of one Of the murderers of girl at New
Brunswick comes the request that the two
other members of the crowd that were In

freedom. That is about the way 1t has
been going lately. Send man to the
state prison for term of years for das
tardly act and then somebody through
mawkish sympathy takes steps to release
the poor fellow from behind the bars
The men now under consideration ought
to be thankful that they escaped witt
their lives, for they certainly were Of
little benefit to the state or the neighbor
hood in which they lived.
