HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Excellent gridd1e cakes can be made with a small quantity of boiled rice left over. Such rice is always good for croquettes.
 Sun your mattr resses aG often as you can. Put them out on the porch roof in the hot sun. This will keep them fresh and clean.
 Crocuses can be had in winter if treated like Japanese 1Tlies. Put the bulbs in a shallow earthen dish of wa ter half filled with pebbles. Keep them in a, dark place for a little while and then put them in the light but do not set them in the sunlight until the f1owers buds form.
 A satisfa ctory soft soap can be made from odds and ends. Use six pounds of fat and put 1t in a, kettle. Dissolve the potash in a gallon and a half of boiling water. Put It on the fat and stir together well. Cover and the next day add a gallon and a half more boil ing water, and keep on adding boiling water from day to day until six gal Ions are used. Stir the mixture from time to time and let it stand covered until like jehy. It is~ then ready to use.
 Lower the temperature of an oven considerably after the roast has been in twenty minutes and the juices will be retained.
 It is a good idea, to have a. pot roast for dinner the day you iron The meat can cook over the ironing fire, thereby saving coal.

What Would You Dor

seWhat would you do if you were g nilIionaire?' ?' was the question pro pounded to the little boys of an east side school the other day.
 The little east siders' answers were interesting. Some of them wrote:
 E'I would have house with rooms for each kind of use, such as sitting room, bedroom and dining room"
 tfI would buy banks and be bank president at large salary
 ''I would live on Fifth avenue in a clean house and buy autos and chari- Ots."
 ''I would be proud of my situation and also glad, and I would own autos and earn money by hiring them out, v
 ''I would feast my peasants; also in- stitute an education school"
 '.I would buy the subway and get rich by charging 10 cents. .''-New York Tribune.

The highest nav1gab1e body of water fin the world is Lake T111caca, which Hes in South America about midway between the Horn and the equator.

Several steamers ply over the lake and carry on a valuable trade in gold and other products of the mountains.-New York Mail

MOTORMAN FREED
 ON PAYING FINE OF $500 AND COSTS

New Haven, May 2T-JaInes L. Me Guire, the Connecticut company mo- torman, who was found guilty of man slaughter by jury in the superior court last Friday, was yesterday af- ternoOn fined $500 and sentenced to one year in jail by Judge Lucien F. Burpee. The jail sentence was s11s- pended by Judge Burpee, however, with the condition that MoGuire report monthly to Probation Officer Louis Leyerzapf of this city. This sentence was announced by Judge Burpee after he had denied a motion by Lawyers Charles s. Hamilton and James M. Lynch,- who represented Mcclure, to have the verdict of the jury set aside as being contrary to the evidence. Me GI1ire and his lawyers, decided not to appeal the case and McGuire in1medi- ately paid the fine ana costs. a, total of $500 and gained his freedom, ex- cept for the fornnaMty of reporting to the probation officer each month.
 Judge Burpee said III passing sen tenoe that he did not consider Mo Guire a criminal. He said he believed that he was an honest and eonscienti- ous man, but that on the day in ques- tio11 he was probably thinking of some thing else than running his car and that he was careless and neg1t- gent. He said that he didn't think Mcclure was the kind of man who
 
 although he thought he should be so severely punished that he would realize that he was convicted of serious of fense. He also suggested that it would be better for a man of McGuireas teIla- pserame1lt to give up running trolley cars or automobiles
 Mcclure was motorman on 9 trolley car on the Waterbury-New Haven line that crashed into aL stone train in Cheshire, at what is known as the Summit switch, on the morning of February 2s, 1913. Two passengers were killed in the collision, one of whom was william F. Harper of this city, superintendent of the Southern New England Telephone Co. in Water bury Mcclure Is a Waterbury man. It is stated that he had about $6.00o saved up before the accident and that the accident will have cost him some thing like s2,900, which includes the fine, costs and legal expenses.

The Too Good AIibi.

There is no defense so familiar to criminal courts as the al1bi, proof that the accused was not near the scene of a crime when that crime was commit ted There Is no defense more safis factory, except when 1t is too good. A too good a1ibi is one of the most sus- picious things on earth When an ac- cused man brings witnesses who swear to his whereabouts for each minute of the psriod in question the jury begins to doubt The foreman of the jury cannot prove where he wase at the same time with that much assurance. Probably the judge cannot How does the accused man happen to have that proof which others lack? Are his wit nesses lying, or was the crime commit ted earlier than the state thinks, and is the alfbi a ''plantT7 Honest men, going unthink1ngIy about honest bus1- ness, can seldom prove their where abouts minute by minute.

A oveer View of Education.

Opposition to state education in the past was due largely to belief that too much learning was not good for the masses. The worthy Hannah More even, who was one of the most ear nest supporters of the movement for the establishment of schools for the poor in England, had very definite ideas as to how far the children should be educated. The curriculum, she de clared, should comprise only reading the Bible and the cabechisn, and tsuch coarse works SIS may it the children for servants adding decisfvely, 'T al- low of no writing for the poor.''-Chi- cago News.

TIME ALMOST UP FOR
 PAYMENT OF TAXES

Five more days of grace are all that there are now in which to pay the taxes on the grand list of 1912 before the increase for failure to pay by June 1, takes effect. The result is that Tax Collector Bernard F. Cooney is doing a rushing business, so to speak, and is fairly wallowing in money these days. There is still about quarter of a million dollars in taxes to come in and it is expected that most of this will come in within the next couple of days. The penalty for delay is an interest charge of three-fourths of one per cent per month.
