vEHMoNT's DIVORCE LAW.

With Nevada planning to revise the divorce laws which have made Reno famous, and otnor states seeing the need from the increasing number of divorces, for making stricter regula- tons and at the same time building up public sentiment in that regard, Ver- mont has just passed a law whereby the quick marriages following divorces are 1fiksly to be lessened. thus overccm. iug the hurrysrg from the divorce court to ths altar. The general jaw under which divorces are granted in that stats requires period of three years following 6 divorce before these concerned can marry again.

lNApEouAcY OF THE LAW.

New York is suffering from too much law in relation to the dangerous prac- tice of drunken men operating auto- mobiles in the streets. The Callan law was supposed to have been passed for the purpose of giving the public some protection, but it's provisions are insufficient and really operate to the benefit of the chauffeur so that 1t is, as it stands and as Interpreted by the courts, piece of legislation which it would have been better had 1t not been enacted. It has failed to make provision for the proper punishment
 of the accused and when fines are inn posed, no provision is made for the
 collection of such so that if the chauf- feur claims he has been drinking and
 runs over and injures a person or causes no end of trouble by his actions
 in driving a machine, he can go if he
 is unable to pay the fine.
 When 1t is realized that an auto un- der the guidance of an intoxicated per- son is about as dangerous a user of the streets as could be imagined and as uncertain as a runaway horse, 1t is apparent that the Callan law needs attention immediately ill order to change it from a uselesa to a useful
 instrument. It was evidently framed
 like many othefs without proper con sideration and important provisions
 are missing. In view of the large number of accidents which are con- tinually happening an amendment to the law should be given immediate at- tention by the legislature when it con-
 venes. Because of the apparent con- dition and the deploring of it by judges
 auto associations and the public early action Is demanded.

THE DYNAMITE CASE.

When the jury which has been hear inS the famous dynamite case in which forty defendants were concerned. brought in its verdict of guilty against thirty eight of them, it was a verdict such as was looked for in accordance with the evidence. It was a verdict which should have it's lesson in re. gard to conspiracy and the use of ex- ploeives to break down and destroy the property and rights of others. and the use of the influence of a large na ticnwide organization to carry out their purpose, unbeknown and without the consent of the membership. La Dor organizations have not been on trial, but individual members of labor nnions have and the lesson is a plain enc.
 It is possible to turn the good in fiuence of labor organization to great harm unless there is the proper regard for law and order. The trials with these which preceded them have shown . determination on the part of the ac- cueed to force their contention regard less of tho limits to which they went. and no property was too valuable and no life or number of lives stood in the way of carrying out their policy. These
 men are not representative of the oaliber of the union men who as a rule are to be numbered among the good and upright citizens. The reign of terror which they conducted is not in accordance with the belief of the rank and He. but being in power they framed up a gigantic scheme with hor- YibIs results. These men will be pun ished, but the need is that such men shah be kept from office in the future

CARE OF FERNS.

Plant crowns of ferns must be kept well above the soil. and never pushed beneath it, else they will be apt to rot away. Give ferns northern light in preference to southern exposure
 In the middle of winter the right temperature for ferns should be about 65 degrees, rising to not over 70, until the seasons change.
 Keep the soil of ferns always damp, but do not let it get sodden. Very wet soil soon becomes sour. Keep the fol- 1 iage dry, letting the plant drink through the roots. Water for ferns should not be cold. Do not put ten der ferns outside in the rain; if you do, their fronds will be beaten down.
 Maidenhair fern requires more care than al other ferns. Give it plenty of moisture and abundant watering, for once its soil becomes dry the fronds shrivel up quickly. Sterliized leaf mold makes an excellent potting soil. The maidenhair fern will thrive best in fern cases. You need not hope to succeed with rnaidenhair ferns in- doors if the room is lighted by gas. Boston fern is a variety of sword fern that is robust, a quick and grace full grower and very durable. It will stand changes in temperature and also gas which more delicate ferns will not do The Boston fern is good for plac- ing on stand by itself, in a jardin- iere or during its first growth, in the window.

TURKEYS DEMANDS.

Turkey has not sent representatives to the peace conference with any in- tention of sitting back calmly and let ting the others arrange the deal. It would almost seem that she considers vor by consenting to listen to their proposals. In the counter proposition the Ottoman empire makes demands which VIII never be acceded to, and there are some of the demands made by the Balkan states which will have to be modified, and were doubtless drawn with that intention. Now that the allies and the Turks each know the demands of the other, the real hard battle of diplomacy must be fought Turkeys proposition is that, not Of a defeated enemy. but of one which recognizes its shortcomings and agrees to overcome them in European Turkey, even though 1t has taken the severe druDbing to even bring that about.
 There is a territory a trif1e larger than New England, or nearly eight times as large as Connecticut which will doubtless go under the knife. Bulgaria will get large slice. Ser via and Montenegro will likewise be the gathers by smaller acquisitions but possibly enough to double their ter ritpry while Greece win extend her boundary northward and likely gain some island concessions. Turkey will retain constantincple and portion .p. the country to the east of the Tcha- @Sasta xortifcations, but az for the re- terti5n of it's present territory even under an autonomous rule. the allies will not listen to any such proposition Turkey is in no position to dictat, any such terms and her bold front is indicative of the plan to get the besi results under adverse circumstances when the division comes.

PARCELS POST.

It is with the anticipation of plenty of work that the post office employees will greet the opening of the parcels post the first of the year. It is the greatest step of its kind ever taken in this or any other country and the setting of this great service in motion over the entire country at the same time Is huge task. which may have a slow beginning but is bound to de- velop despite the many new features with which the patrons must get &C., quAinted.
 Among the many complications inc .cluding rates, zones and articles, the New York Tribune well says that Tt should be borne in mind that only fourth class matter can be sent by parcels post, the rules for first, second and third class remaining unchanged; but theSdefnition of fourth class will be so amplifed as to include many things which have hitherto been un- mailable. It must be remembered, too that ordinary stamps will not be &C., cepted on parcels; special stamps for the parcels post service must be pro- CuEeQ anu uSou. III lulS CAAy PdAScto cannot be mailed in letter or news paper boxes. or even at the sub-sta- tions In drug stores, but only at the general post office and it's various branches. Another provision is that all parcels must bear the address of the sender. As for the rates of post age. they are determined by a com- plex zone system, so that at first, at least, shippers will do well to ascer- tain from the post office authorities what they are to pay"
 The use of the service is going to be the greatest educator in regard to it's complexities. Familiarity thereby with its provisions will soon get the patrons as we'll as the post office em- ployes thoroughly posted It has great promise for the future

OLD TIME BRACELETS.

If you have an old fashioned black onyx arm band set with pearls, wear it. It is again fashionable.
 A large band looks smaller below a black bracelet and one woman with rather red hands wears an inch wide band velvet around each wrist, for which she has jeweled clasps, changed to match her gowns. Sometimes these velvet bracelets are set with large diamond or pearl but tons or pinned with cameo or seed pearl brooch.
 A fashionable series of bracelets that can be had in French jewelry Is made of thin hoops studded with col ored stones. An emerald hoop, a dia- mond, a ruby and pearl one are worn together.

There are many causes for slespless.

There are many causes for sleepless- ness. Overloaded stomach or an empty one. If the former, eat less. IT you have craving for food before retiring eat little plain lettuce or take a glass of warm milk. A hot water bag on the stomach or at the feet will draw the blood from the head and in- duce sleep. Try to forget all the trials of the day when you retire. An over taxed brain and nerves will drive all sleep away for hours, but can often be overcome by the hot water bag.

TO COLOR LACE.

Lace may be given yellowish or ivory tint by letting it lie for a snort time in water to which has been added little powdered saffron. If you wish to freshen the lace trimmings of an evening dress, touch up the design with color, gold. for instance, which gives a beautiful effect if done lightly. Other colors in light shades are also very effective on fine delicate faces.

 The chenille embroideries are anoth- CT novelty of the season. Dull colors are used for the portion of the design carried out in the chenille, while pet als are frequently composed of pieces of satin appliqued on, and outlined with dull gold cord tackled on. Vel vet is used as a foundation.
 When much machine work is to be done fill several shuttles with cotton finer than that used on top.

 Beautiful buttonholes may be made in any material, no matter how thin, if they are first marked. and before they are cut out are stitched along each side on the machine. Cut between the two rows of stitching and there will be good foundation for the but tonhole stitches, with no danger of raveling. This makes the working of any buttonhole much easier and greatly adds to it's durability.
