THE COAL SITUATION.

Coal just at the present time is one Of the important topics of discussion. as it usually is. We are told that the high price of coal is due to the short age which exists. causing the retailers If they desire to buy, to pay a preni- um; and again there come reports of the west being supplied with hard coal before the other markets are giv- en attention. Another side of the sit uation is presented by one in authority to speak, President George F. Baer ot the Reading Coal company, who IS quoted as saving: We are mining more coal than we are selling all the time. There are now 900 tons of unsold surplus stock above the normal consumption, and all talk of their be- ing a shortage is mere conjecture"
 Dealers throughout New England complained only recently of their in- ability to get their orders filled without paying 8 premium, but that such an advance quickly brought all the coal desired. It makes it quite evident that fl, as claimed there is 8 surplus in stead of shortage, that the coal bar ons are working the public again. Coal is big factor in the cost of living, and yet this country is rich in coal. The unmined coal cuts but little fig ure in satisfying present needs and 1t Is evident that while the investiga-- tion of the coal situation relative to the monopoiistic side of the question is being made they should take up this shortage question and break up the combination which welcomes strikes and plays with shortages. With such d staple commodity as coal there is no need for a shortage in production.

LEARN TO VOTE BY MACHINE.

The arrival of the voting machines, or one of them. with the expectation that others will immediately follow, insures the voters of an opportunity to get acquainted with the use of the new method of voting before election day. The machines are to be set up at once for that very purpose, and t is tho duty of every voter to make himself clear on all the points upon which he is not certain. While there are many who have seen the machines, had them explained and seen them op+ crate, and possibly operated them, the machine which has been adopted here is of slightly different type than the one which has become familiar by its several appearances here on exhibition.
 With month in which to study the machines there should be no confus- ion when the time comes to vote in November as it Is much simpler. than marking big ballots, with the danger that a slip will invalidate the entire ballot or mean e vote for the wrong candidate. The voting machine is sim pie when 1t is understood, but 1t will ba puzzled voter who goes to the polls to vote without previously en- deavoring to inform himself on the manner of operating 1t. It will be found to be no difficult task; there's no marking to be done, the operation is quickly over, and when the voter leaves the booth he has the satisfac- tion of knowing that not only has he L. A.-H for those he voted for. No one has a chance to guess at his intentions. The machines will also mean that the final count will be known soon after the polls close. The machines deserve fair treatment and that can only be accord ed by getting acquainted with them.

THE woRLp,s SERIES.

Every baseball fan who can get the time and any possible chance for a ticket is planning to be in Boston or New York for the worlds series be- tween the NewjYork and Boston teams. representing the National and Ameri- can leagues, respectively. It will un- questionably be masterly exposition of the great national game with two teams remarkably well prepared to up- hold the merits of the two big leagues. What the final result will be, remains to be seen. Norwich has natural interest in the Boston team, represent ing New England, as it has previously had in the Athletics because of Danny Murphy's association herewith, while thefe will be many to be found who are partial to the New York team.
 It is to be hoped that there will be no such fraud connected with the sale of tickets as characterized the series last year, It is impossible to keep the tickets away from spectators because of the willingness of baseball enthnsi- asts to pay advanced prices for the sake of witnessing q game. For those who have the ready cash 1t may be well enough, but, it gives the little fellow a poor chance, and particularly bad deal when baseball officials be- come connected herewith. The will ingness of the public to cater to the speculator has much to do with his ex- istence.
 Let the worlds championship be de- cided uron its merits and may the bet ter team win. If 1t can be done in four or five games, 1t should be, and not bleed the public for the limit just to fatten the purses of the already well-paid managements.

ABOUT slLvERwARE.
By Elizabeth Lee.


 Impure air is the cause of tarnish on silver-that Is, air contaminated with various gases-conseauently any thing which will exclude the air would seem to he a remedy. The most relia- ble is to cover each piece of silver with thin coating of collodion, which can be bought at any drug store cheaply.
 The articles should be quite warm when the liquid is applied The collo dion should be diluted with alcohol before use, although it is perfectly harmless even if used full strength. For preventing tarnish, however, it Is better to dilute. When the silver is required again wash of in hot water Another plan is to lay the articles tc be stored in box and thickly cover with fiour Never pack silver in white paper or white fabrics of any kind because these have been bleached with chemicals that will tarnish the silver.
 Dark canton flannel may be used. also blue paper and chamois. Some people wrap the silver in flannel or chamois and then coat the outside of fabric or skin with white wax. The wax is rubbed on and then pressed with hot iron. This, of course, ex- cludeS the air.

FOR THE BRIDE.

Bride sets. including cases for the nightdress, gloves and handkerchiefs and a pincushion, are the daintiest af- fairs imaginable. The largest of the cases, the one intended to hold the nightdress, is fully half yard long and wide when opened, but when fold ed double is of oblong shape and fits nicely Into medium sized bag. Like the other cases, 1t is of finest white batiste, exquisitely hand embroidered in fine design, done wholly in white and under the embroidered scallops which form its edge is a frill of real valenciennes. The inner side of the case is of white thin China silk. and through this as well as through the fine batiste shows the pale pink silk cover of the sachet scented down which forms the thin padding. The glove case is a smaller replica of the night dress receptacle, whereas the handker- chief case is square to match the pin cushion, which is rather fat. but suf- ficiently thick to hold pins of ordinary weight. Any one giving a bride an outfit of this sort should provide her with m envelope shaped case of heavy but fine linen, so that the collection of pieces may be protected.

CURTAINS.


 With the first touch of coolness in the air, the housekeeper's thoughts turn to her garrct. where, if she is a good housekeeper, lay her supply of rough dried curtains, ready to be sprinkled and ironed, to do duty for another season. Now is the time of year to plan and arrange the house. hold hangings and upholstering and to have them in read ipess after the final housekeeping is oyer to put into place.
 Many who have ecru curtains will find that they have become faded just where they hang against the window, but do not know that they ecan be renovated back to their original fresh ness with very little trouble. Try dis solving two or three teaspoonfuls of yellow ochre in q half cupful of warm water and put it in your starch. There is Hothing in 1t harmful to the curl tains. and it -doesl not streak them. Yellow ochre can be obtained. at any store where paint Is sold, and it can be bought In two or three cent quanti- tiesv as little is needed for the cur tains.

TIE MOVEMENTS HANDSPRING.

.
 What those who take the time to snalyze the position of the third-t term party leader think is shown by the Statement of Prof. W. c. Fisher of Wesleyan, who declares that he is a progressive but cannot stand Roose& welt. He deplores the fact that his name has been connected with the bull moose movement and declares The great man of the new party is, in my judgment, the greatest political impostor of the age, sadly lacking in. sound knowledge of the great economic social and political principles, upon which. after all, wise public policy must rest"
 He rightfully terms Roosevelt, in ref erence to his movement the motive and handspring of it all," and a re- view of his record finds no satisfac- ton in anything he did in behalf of the tariff. workmens compensation, currency, banking, woman's suffrage direct elections, primaries, income tax referendum, the recall or the initiative His two-sided stand on the trusts is oAAeWH DJ HIS ctIOuS WOIQS dSdlnSI them, but away from the, public glare he was found to fraternize with them and they received in particular cases the protectioR from him which pre- vented their prosecution.
 It sounds well to advocate such a platform as he does, principles which have been directly against all his po- litiesl efforts, yet what is there to as- sure the people that circumstances. like which caused him to break his solemn pledge and bring about what he himself termed calamity" will not arise, should fortune favor him and caused him to abandon his prom ises and pledges? It is not strange that Professor Fisher wonders why the common people do not realize the fact that he is as bad a politician as any other. combined with the fact that. above all, his whole movement i. inspired by his mad ambition for mort than Washington or Grant had. Thl. very view of the Wesleyan professor is being taken throughout the coun try as shown by the decline the move. nsnt is experiencing

cHoosINa A paEsIpENr.

With the majority rule existing for the choice of president in the electoral college. the course which would be pursued in the event that no candidate should have a majority there. has caused much discussion, inasmuch as there is lack of familiarity with the method of procedure. This Is clearly set forth by the New York Tribune as follows:
 If no candidate for president re- ceiges a majority of the electoral vote the duty of choosing president de- wolves upon the house of representa- lives. The constitution says that, a choice must be made immediately after the failure to elect is made ap- parent by the canvassing of the elec- toral vote at the joint session of the two houses of congress, which is held on the second Wednesday in Febru- ary. The house must choose among the three candidates highest on the list of those voted for by president Each state delegation has one vote, and the votes of majority of the states are required to elect In the present house of representatives, which will be sit ting next February, forty -eight states will be represented. Twenty two dele- gations have a republican majority and twenty-two have a democratic major fly. Four delegations are evenly di- vided between democrats and repub- 1icans. If the election is thrown into the house there win probably be a deadlock.
 Tn case no president is chosen be- fore March l. 1918, and vice presi- dent Is chosen. the latter will be sworn in as vice president and immediately thereafter become president. The sen ate elects the vice president in case the electors do not choosing between the highest two candidates on the list of those voted for by the electors for vice president. In order to be successful, 9 candidate must receive the votes of majority of the whole number of senators, or forty nine votes. Since there Is no certain majority in the sen Rte representing any party, it would be imprudent to predict, what would happen there, and there might be no election prior to March 4, 1913, in which case the secretary of state in the existing cabinet would have to act as president from March 4 until a new president or vice president could he chosen at an election ordered by congress-"

Some physicians are recommending bran-the palm wheat bran you feed to the family cow--as food for dyspep- tics. Tt is largely fiber, and hence indigestible,' they say, but furnishes the intestines with needed element of roughness' that stimulates the intes- tinal surfaces" Those who have any further curiosity on this subject are urged not to eat the bran Just so, but to. mix it half and half with some good breakfast food or make it into bread. Following Is the recipe for the bread: One pint of white flour. one quart of bran. one-half cup of molas- ses, one teaspoonful Of soda, one pint of buttermilk, one teaspoonfuI of soda, dissolved in a little molasses Mix well tsnd bake for an hour"

One of the most popular materials for porch pillows is wide vale pique, resembling corduroy. It requires no decoration except wide self border with wales running vertically and stitched on with cotton of contrast ing color. Burlap, too, is an effective and durable fabric for the manufacture of pillow tops for outdoor use. Some of the most attractive of these are in the brown shades worked in designs carried out in tones of burnt orange, outlined with black, and with blades of grass and willows in green and blue green. Cotton reps in tan shades are very good looking when treated with central design outlined in harmonizing colors. The background Is solidily stitched. This leaves the design a spa cioHsly outlined relief. Whipcord in tan, brown, dark green and red shades makes hard wearing pillow tops.

THE ENGAGEMENT RING.

The engagement, ring should be just one single stone, in preference to a cluster. The diamond is, of course, the most favored for an engagement gift, though many girls prefer to have their birth stone, or perhaps the stone that they most care for. A single sapphire is very lovely, and rubies, topazes and emeralds are also chosen for these rings. Pearls are seldom chosen, as popular superstition tells us that these beautiful stones bring tears to their Wearer.

TO PREVENT MOTHS.

Moths dislike turpentine It is, therefore, a good plan when storing books to put with them several pieces of paper or rags which have been sat urated in tuFpentine. Leave them for a day or two and then remove. This process should be repeated two or three times during the course of the year. It will be found a simple and efficacious remedy against the ravages of these troublesome little insects.
