EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Justice.

An agent of the ChiIdren's society, being present when the woman and her two babies were sent to a cell, had heart smiting. and in Christian kind ness offered to take the children away! This is a lovely touch, the dramatic beauty of which it is hoped none will miss
 The criminal lady very properly re- fused to let her babies go and so all three of terrible enemies to society tralpsed into cell
 She did not remain there long, thanks to the already mentioned human beings, but she was there: a mother and her two children were locked up as commOr G4-@22ders by judge in a Szsr----5 country
 Dour1tiess tne magiStra is an hon. orable man i"so are we all, all honor able men'O and does right in his sphere, and metes out punishment with an equal hand, but 1t might be sug- gesJed that there are two qualities in a judge which, from the day of Solo, mon and the times of Portia until now, have formed, with rectitude, a trinity of grace; Heart and common sense.
 Unquestionably, garbage cans should be covered, but a set of policemen and a city court that can find no way of enforcing this rule other than putting a mother and two babies in a prison cell would better be transferred te the dog catching department.

THE AUTO MENACE.

What a menace the speed of auto
 mobiles has come to be, particularly fin large cities, is indicated by the large number of children and adults who are Killed through the carelessness and recklessness of the drivers, and the inability of humanity to avoid colli- sions as they might if they were get ting out of the way of a team It was only recently that someone was de- ploring the fact that there was too much legislation concerning motor vel hicles. but rather should it be regret ted that there is too little observance of it from the position of the auto driver, and too little enforcement of 1t from the standpoint of the authori- ties. A disregard for the public is the cause for the legislation and it is the failure to enforce what laws have been made, which permits so many ac- c1dents and fatalities
 Last month in New York city thirty three people were killed by autos, and so far this year of the 239 killed by motor cars 102 have been children. In the state, outside the big city there were eighteen lives snuffed out by autos.
 Deaths and accidents from this cause are on the increase This is not because of the multitude of laws but because Of the failure to properly respect either law or humanity. IL calls for as great a determination that the law shall be Obeyed as there is inclination to break it and the holding responsible of the drivers in all such affairs until it is proven that the ac- cidenJ was not preventable.

 Such a plan is one which will never be put into operation here without the participation of several other countries It would be folly to weaken this most important means of protection by at tempting such a plan alone Until it can be done in concert the navy must be maintained at it's high standard in recognition of its most important peace compelling power.

Telephone Politeness.
BY THE CONDUCTOR

 If any guy'd come to your front door an heller in your face, Hello, what's your name2' that fellow'd hit tn sidewalk so quick he'd think you was tn white hope.
 We got a telephone in our house, l an Lizzie have. It's 41S Party W. You see they's somebody else on tn same wire, but you can't hear what they say, 'cept sometimes.

MAGNEsIA CLEANS.

For cleaning laces and delicate fabrics magnesia is perhaps the most reliable substance.
 It may be bought either in powder or in humps.
 It should be sifted or rubbed on the parts to be cleaned and laid away in a box or drawer for a day or so, un- disturbed.
 When it is taken out the garment should be shaken we'll so that the powder is thoroughly shaken out of it.
 The magnesia absorbs the dust or grease, which is thus shaken out of the garr~o.t
 If it is not all removed before wear ing the pcwde:- left win ac .c,7 ' ing dust frcm the air and the objects with which it comes in contact, leav- ing a dirtier spot than before,
 It is a good plan to put the mag nesia on party dresses and other light frocks that have become partly soiled when putting them away. whether they actually need to be cleaned or not. Then when they are taken out and shaken they are as fresh and dainty as when they were new.

OPERA BAGS.

Brocaded velvet bags in rich, dark colorings, such as gray, dark blue or green, have a floral decoration in pink or other delicate tint, and are made in various models including the popular balloon shape, finished with a heavy silk tassel at the bottom. Velvet rib bon in a matching tone is used for the handles, while jeweled clasps and slides furnish ornamentatiOn.

CHANGE AND TIME FOR REFORM.

The spirit of economy and reform appears spasmodically in congress and many worthy improvements are pro iected only to fall by the wayside. For a long time the franI1ing privilege has been under fire and never so appar- ent is the effect of this oyerdOne right than during a political campaign of national importance. There is now a movement underway to regulate the frank and keep it within it's legitimate bounds. and hand in hand with it is the recognized necessity of curbing the wasteful practice of printing great editions of public documents only to fill the storehouse.
 In this connection the ever ready request for leave to print" in the Congressional Record is deserving of careful restrictions. Many are the in- stance1 where page after page of the daily record of congress is filled with something entirely outside the dOings of the body. The New York Post per- tinently says: '"The leaYe-to print abuse. which so mars the CongressiOn- al Record has just been illustrated in an extreme form. A Missouri rep resentative, having got the customary unanimous consent for leave to eX- tend his remarks procured the inser- ton in the Congressional Record of eldogy delivered by ex-Secretary Nage1 upon the late Adqlphus Busch, the St. Louis brewer. If the prohibitionists in their indignation at this escapade, should institute an attack upon the whole -to-print system, they would have the sympathy of a great many people who do not share their sentiments on the subject of drinking
 The need for reform is glaringly ap- parent and there is no time better than the present.

He should have the right to place an effective check upon the rider system. but the plan of Senator Over man is but an extension thereof The rejection of important bills by Presi- dent Taft. because of the presence of harmful riders which congress was wiling to pass. only indicated the need c< retaining such power. and the inn portznoe of making it still more use ful bg extending the right to veto ob- tecrionabLe provisions in a bill

PoMPoNs WITH BEADS.

Pretty pompons for slippers are made in this way: Gather a doubled strip of chiffon-about three inches wide, or an inch and half wide when folded-into rosette. Make little satin rose of the same color.
 If you are not versed in the ways of making roses from satin. make two rosettes, as you made the chiffon one, one smaller than the other, and fasten them together. and they will look flower like.
 Use bright crystal beads for the flower center and dot beads around the edges of the petals of the satin rose. Pure clear glass beads give the best effect. but gold or silver beads would also be pretty.

BRIDES sUPERsTITIoNs

A bride should never allow the bridegroom to see her in her wedding dress before they meet at the church. If she does so the happiness of their married life will soon be broken up by death or disaster. A bride should wear something old and something new: something borrowed and some thing blue The old thing helps her to retain the love of her girlhood friends; the new thing brings good fortune for the future; the blue, being the color of the sky, brings a blessing, and the borrowed thing means that she will never be without helpers.

These sashes are made of softest silk, like louisine or messaline and the ends are weighted and trimmed with fringe or bands of fur or marabout

TO KEEP GRAPEe,

Grapes may be kept for months. Select perfect punches and see that the fruit is solid on the bunch. Re- move all little spiders and their webs, but do not wash the fruit. Wrap each bunch carefully in dark blue tissue paper, twisting the ends tightly to exclude the air, then pack the grapes away in a closely covered box, and keep the box in a cool, dark, dry place.

TO KEEP RUGS FLAT,

Rugs often become turned up at the edges. To improve the appearance fold an old towel or piece of cloth and ring out of water and lay along edge of rug and then fake a flatiron (not hot) and press until cloth is dry, when the edge will be straight and flat as when new.

The newest things in arm shields can be clasped in at the seams of the sleeve in less time than it takes to tell about it. The shields are so shaped that while affording adequate protection from dampness there is no danger of their showing behind or in front of the armpit, and their four tiny clasps securely fit them to the sleeve eye, sleeve and underarm bodice seams.

Among the newest dresses for efii- dren are those made of Japanese crepe The use of Japanese crepe is directly in accord with the current fashion for materials of a creepy char acter Moreover the Japanese variety is decidedly superior both in durabili- ty of effect and in quality, to any other crepe, because it is woven by hand and the crepe feature is pro- duced in the weaving. while in some other instances it is brought about by a nroceSs of shrinking.
