When J. IL Hale of Glastonbury pre- diets the biggest peach crop in the history of Connecticut he speaks of a successful business in this state, in the development of which he has had an important part The optimis- tic declaration comes from an author ity and when il is shown that it is possible for Connecticut to supply all of New England and d large outside market in q favorable year with peach es, II Is indicative of what is possible of accomplishment MT Hale and others have made a pronounced sue cess of peach growing through a study Of it and the giving to it the same amount of attention and thought as any other line of business.
 This is of course only one direction in which # is possible to build up a successful business by taking advan- tase of the natural conditions. Why should ft not be said of Connecticut that t will have it's largest crop of marketable apples this year. or of corn oats or potatoes Much greater yields are possible if there is the proper study oT the conditions and application is made of the information at hand or available for getting the results which would make each wear record year. There fs fn the business which Mir.

REPIIRLIC OF CHINA.

Now that this country has given formal notice of the recognition of the year old Chinese republic, opportunity will be given to follow the benefit which will result from this step in the starting of the republic in China stood for better things in the far east fact which this country as the lead ing republic is much interested in. It is concerned in peace and trade in China and both of these can be stim ulated by better conditions for which a determined effort has been at work for many years among the Chinese. Like all infant republics China will find that its course is beset by plenty of trouble both from within and without. so that it has need of all the assist ance which such recognition as has just been given, can bring them. There is no reason to believe but what they will be able to maintain the gov ernment which they have determined on. but the action of this country has been characterized by deliberation and not haste.
 Smaller republics have previously recognized the republic of China, but with the great nations of Europe the loan is doubtless an important factor though the prospects that such will be ratified as made indicates that it will not be long before general recog- milton of the government as established will be made. Not only new but great CT things are looked for from the east.

GET TOGETHER THE REMEDY.

With the declaration by President Wilson of his understanding of his victory as a minority one and that the democratic party had been successful because of the split in the party of opposition. there is a warning to the entire body of voters throughout the country It is recognition of the fact that it was by chance that the party was placed in power, rather than through a recognition of the princi- ples which it represented and the pres ident's contention Is that it's uncertain stay in Washington is determinable by the account which they give of themselves. He considers that they must make themselves invaluable in order to insure their continuance there.
 That from the democratic standpoint was clearcut sound advice, but 1t might have added that. their control in Washington also depended, as did the election upon the maintenance of the break in the republican forces. His warning was to his party as a guide to their conduct for the receiving of future favors. but 1t can also be ap- piled to the factions of the republi- can party, the party of the majority It was the split which shifted the con- trol of power and it will be the main tenance of that break which will keep it there. rather than the principles of the democratic party. Getting togeth- CT is therefore but a just recognition of the remedy which must be applied and the efforts which are underway deserve to be pushed to successful conclusion

LEGISLATION ON DRUGS.

Strange as ft may seem the passing of legislation against the sale of co- cafne in New York state has not been accomplished without the hardest kind of q fight IT has met opposition throughout its entire course and un- derEone amendments. though of a character which does not injure it's effectiveness Its approval by the gov ernor will put into force one of the most needed laws for restricting inc sale of drugs. and II should have an important effect in retrieving the vic rfrns Of its influence and preventing others from falling into its clutches, by removing the privilege of sale from fSe control of those who seek per sona1 gain z7 the expena4 of the sIav- err Of others

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
History.

A great opening exists for the new historian.
 The story of the actual facts of the world is more interesting than any fiction.
 The difficulty with histories is that they are usually written by authors without imagination. It has been as- sumed that all that is necessary in producing a history is patient and careful compilation. Hence the Dry asdusts have pre- -emptied the field.
 The truth is. however, that in no other department of literature are genius, poetry, fire and creative skill called fer so much as in the matter of making the past seem alive.
 The stories of Caesar. Tamerlane. Napoleon and Charlemangne need re- telling with every age. The past ages need reinterpretation.
 Lessing says that history should not trouble with unimportant facts. should not burden the memory. but enlighten the understanding" And Goethe. "The best thing We get from history is the enthusiasm it arouses."
 And then look at the wretched, stif1ing, pedantic contents of the his tory your boy or girl has to study at school!

A TABLE NOVELTY.

An outfit suitable for either the home table, the bachelor girls apart ment or the college girls room IS an egg coddler with it's accompanying set of tail-Stemmed perforated nickel glass holders. scissorlike egg cutters and glass bottomed. trimmed tray In this nickel plate coddler is a rack for holding the eggs and underneath is a unique lamp for alcohol shaped so liquid to burn three minutes and on the other side enough to burn four minutes, so the cooking takes care of itself
 Narrow, oblong shaped glass trays showing nickel plated rims are more correct for use in the living room be- fore and after a meal than the round ones, as the liquids are less likely to spill.

DRY CLEANING CURTAINS.

Many housewives own curtains of Arabian lace. They realize that a great amount of their beauty Is lost after washing. The lovely ecru tint has disappeared, and to recover them is not always satisfactory.
 These curtains can be dry cleaned in the following manner:
 Spread a sheet or two upon the floor and lay the curtains carefully on them.
 Mix two parts of bolted cornmeal with one of salt.
 With a clean brush rub this mix ture thoroughly through the curtains. Hang out of doors for a couple of hours and the curtains will be sweet and clean.
 In this simple way they may be frequently cleaned If the dust is not allowed to settle in them for any length of time they will wear much longer.
 This bit of information should be well received by the housekeeper, for it saves wonderful amount of time and labor

FOR GUEST ROOM.

A special calendar for the guest room will prove a Godsend to many haraSSed country house hostess. This calendar consists of an eleven by four teen inch panel of red morocco mount ed in easel manner and fitted with small daily calendar which may be re- placed at will, and below this is print ed in good sized and perfectly legible gilt lettering: Breakfast" 9" Luncheon Tea Dinner Last Mail Leaves" and Special" Directly opposite to each one of these legends is q s-ace fitted with a sheet of white celluloid, on which may be inscribed the times of the meals and the departure of the last mail, and any special item of i'm formation which should be brought to the guests attention. The amount of trouble that the facts thus kept before the guest will save a hostess or her staff of servants, is incalcuable. It is a novelty which the woman who gives house parties cannot possibly afford to do without.

A BOX FOR COTTON.

A good way in which spools of cot ton may be arranged in a box, so that the thread can be drawn off without removing the reels or lifting the lid of the box, is as follows:
 To keep the spools in their places a little cardboard division is fitted down the center of the box. and opposite each spool a slit is cut through which the cotton may be drawn off as it is required. It is good plan to write above each slit the name of the cotton running through it. so that the choice of any particular thread can be made at a glance without opening the box
