OFFENDED OFFICIAL RUSSIA.

The news from Russia leaves no doubt that the officials are in a mood toward America since the abrogation If the treaty of 1882 to blame this gov ernment for all it is guilty of and more, too, for they blame us for their war with the Japs and their defeat. When they become calmer they will take a more rational view of the past and see the necessity for doing the honorable thing in the future.
 A contemporary, discoursing upon this matter, says: MT. Shuster. who has returned from Persia, alleges that Russia is triciling England, and that there exists a secret treaty between Germany and the Bear that nullffes all the engamements between England and Russia If this be the case. and the animus of Mir. Shuster discounts his statement, the ground is being laid for some lively misunderstanding in the future. Germany and the country are at an understanding with respect 10 China. and this points against Rus sia more than any other country. while the relations between England and ihe United States were never better. ! would be lsmentable to have Rus sia angry, but before the year is over the course of prudence will dictate the making of a new and satisfactory treaty"

PoRTLAND,s WATER SUPPLY.

Sebago lake. with its abundance of pure water, affords the regular supply of drinking water for the city of Port land, and for all ships sailing from lhere.
 A Portland, Me. man recently be- came thirsty in Liverpool for a drink of Sebago lake water, and he found it on steamship at the dock whose tanks were filled just as she was leaving. Such a ship as this takes on board from 5000 to 14,000 cubic feet of water. which takes the flow of two-inch pipe for five days.
 To illustrate the large amount of water Portland has on hand, The Ex- press of the city says;
 Speaking of Sebago water, probably few people realize just what big body of water the lake is. It is claimed that if all source of supply should be stopped say today and Port land sshould keep right on drawing off it's regular quantities for one year, at the end of that time the surface of the lake would be but one inch lower than it is today. Under these condi- tions, it would seem that we have lit tie reason to fear a water famine here in Portland

EVERYBODY WANTED SOME
 THING,

There appears to be no change among the democratic hOrdes of the country, who every time they get to- gether in convention, show themselves 10 be ravenous politicians.
 The democratic convention recently held at Joplin. Mo, was far from be- ing harmonious for anything but Clark for president. The Kansas City Journal says. The platform adopted is along familiar lines. It attacks re- publican rule from various angles and abuses both Roosevelt and Taft inn partially. Indeed the Joplin conven- ion was just what had been forecast ed. only more so. Everybody wanted something, and in consequence there were about ten disappointed delegates 10 one satisfied one. Had Folk stayed in the race for the Missouri delega- ton it is not hard to imagine what would have happened to his boomlet In that crowd of ravenous politicians. The one and only thing upon which Missouri democrats appear to be unit ed is the candidacy of Champ Clark"
 The mighty issue seems to be over .andidstes The candidates are not snunciating any policies which seem attractive to the country.
 The Baltimore American. comment .ng upon this. says:
 The democratic party has no plat form to carry over from former cam 1aigns as it's political expressions in recent years have been almost alto sether confined to things that were ephemeral, and where the subject was 5f permanent interest, the expression has been in terms of passing senti- nent or viewpoint, such as Bryan's tariff remedy for trusts
 Here, then, is the democratic party headed for Baltimore with time rap- idly passing and yet manifesting no ability to get together upon the state ment of faith in terms of the tradi- tional positions that have long been obscured. The party has a radical clement and a conservative wing, but the conservative wing has absolutely nothing that is not moth-eaten to present to the convention. All this ac- crues to the advantage of the only conservative candidate who can com mand a conservative and consistent platform-the republican candidate, William Howard Taft"

HE RULES OF TIE ROAD.

The rules of the road are violated many times every day in the streets of most cities in the state. Public driving has become a matter of dodg- ing rather than an orderly and sys- tematized practice. In most eastern Connecticut cities it is a go-as-you- please, much to the annoyance of cit izens who know the law and the lia- bility of such disorder
 Meriden has just passed new traf- fic laws and the police have been instructed to see that they are en- forced. The Meriden Journal gives this warning to all drivers:
 There has long been in vogue here the most slipshod methods of every body doing as he pleased when he was in a vehicle. He could turn out either side and he could approach the curb as he willed without regard to others or to the natural flow of traf- dc
 Vehicles must hereafter keep to the right and it will result in the arrest of the driver of motor vehicle or horse driven conveyance who stops hereafter on the streets with his right close to the left curb.
 This Is a move of progress and one that we hope will be made easy for the suthnr4EisE by our intelligent trsNeling pa0iscr

OUR FAITHFUL PROTECTOR.

The agricultural experiment station of this state is a check to adulterated goods and the swindlers of the people no more feel at home here
 The Ansonia Sentinel says Thanks 10 the Connecticut agricultural exper- iment station, the good old times are past when over 90 per cent. of the ground coffee sold in the state was adulterated.' It Is also a satisfaction 10 note that, according to a recent bulletin from the state, 'scandalously sdulterated foods are not at all com mon in the state and inferior mixtures are generally so labeled that the thoughtful reader of the label may know what he is getting
 Under the present system Of espion age and analysis there is no reason why any resident of this state should get cheated.
 The price of liberty is vigilance; and that is also the price of health giving food. The man who carefully examines the label before he buys is not likely to get more benzoate of soda into his stomach than is good for him.
 Our agents are so active that even the adu1terators of fertilizers no long CT find Connecticut a profitable field to do business in.

o.-can it be proven, aside from the Scriptures, that Adam was the first man? (G. L. M.)
 Answer.-All scientists and philoso- phers are practically agreed that the human race sprang from one pair; and that it would be contrary to the rules of logic and analysis to suppose that several pairs of human beings came into existence simultaneously. The Bible is in harmony with reason and common sense in declaring that God created the first man, and then form ed the first woman to be a helpmeet for him. And from this one pair the human race had it's origin. How could we prove this aside from the Scrip lures? We may as well ask-how could we disploce it? It is a notorious
 fact that all theories and conclusions
 that have been advanced, aside from
 the Scriptures, to account for the ori- gin of the race have been found to me lamentably devoid of proof or reason. The evolution theory, which supposes | that man evolved from a microbe or a mosquito is so ridiculous and so lack | ing in proof that the worlds foremost scientists are now repudiating it as extremely absurd. In reply to the question, we would say that we know 1 of nothing outside of the Scriptures that would prove or disprove that Adam was the first man.

LENGTH OF SKIRT.

Mothers are often perplexed to know just how long to make their children s and girls skirts.
 For the tot of l year old the little skirt must be cut to the top of the tiny shoes. At Is months let the hem come half way between the shoe tops and the knee When the third mile stone has been passed let the skirt be shortened so as just to show the bend of the knee and keep this length until the little lady is years old.
 The average child between the ages of and F years should have her dresses cut long enough to cover the knee.
 At 13 add an inch or two to the length of the dress, and should she continue to develop, drop the skirt length to point half way between the knee and ankle.
 As she reaches 15 years let the skirt be about two inches above her shoe tops: at 16 a skirt that comes to the top of the shoe is correct.

PAsTEBoARD PYRAMIDS.

Quite the newest conceit in imported place favors has appeared from abroad in the form of miniature pasteboard pyramids with tiny towering plants seeming to have grown in them. The decoration of the holder stimulates DOT celain, with a color note to harmonize with that of the artificial blossoms sur mounting it. A set of these favors in yellow, for instance. if in accord with the chosen color scheme for the table setting, will give a far prettier effect than a favor introducing it's color sol idly. With these novelties there come tiny white place cards to be slipped among the flowers.

Removes Grease Quickly From
 Pots and Pans

Cleaning the pots and pans and kettles is usually a most disagreeable piece of work, but like everything else there is an easier way to dc it, if one knows how. As soon as the food is removed, pour in water and dissolve in it Gold Dust in the proportion of one table spoonful to gallon of water. Leave to soak while washing the dishes, then pour off the water and fill with clean studs made in the same way If par ticles of food still adhere to the inside of the utensils, use potrings for remoy- ing them

LARGE BUTTONS ON COATS.

In sewing large buttons on coats, use a tiny fiat button on the wrong side of the garment. Sew through both buttons at once. There will be no danger of tearing the garment if the large button is given an extra strong pull, and practically no chance of the button becoming loosened and so lost.

Many housekeepers q

Many housekeepers do not know that there is simple way to prevent pota- toes from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot, An inverted pie pan placed in the bottom of the pot avoids scorching potatoes. The water and empty space beneath the pan save the potatoes. This. also makes the work of cleaning pots easier, as no adhering parts of potatoes are left to be SCOUT ed out.

The latest fancy for exploiting the bead is seen in the new vanity bags made entirely with beads a trifie larger than a harieot bean. The bags are lined inside with silk or brocade, and have the usual clasp top, while the outside is covered all over with beads, all of equal size. Beads form the loop handles and make a fringe at the lower edge of the bag.
