DEVELOP NEW LONDON TERMI-
 MAI

With the announcement which comes from Portland 10 the effect that the Grand Trunk is prepared to develop that port by Iengthening and building new piers and sheds for the taking care of more business which additional steamship service would bring there. provided the government will deepen the channel and better the harbor, it should mean that the road ought to be willing 10 manifest a like cooperation with the commission in this state which has in charge the development of New London harbor. the terminal of the company's leased lines in Connecticut IT. is not likely that there would be any rivalry between these two ports as to the business that would be han dled, but there exists the opportunity for increasing business at both places. Whatever it was planned that the Grand Trunk would attract by the line tc Providence which has been abon- doned can be equally as well handled at New London. while the business which would go through New York could be more advantageously taken care of at New London than at any other terminal of the railroad now in existence or recently considered.
 Why the Grand Trunk should not devote it's attention to the development of this route is inconceivable One of the hest harbors on the cost is pro- vided. the state is interested in doing fits part and had what has been thrown away by the Providence experiment been devoted to rebuilding the existing line it would be in a position to do a much larger and steadily increasing business The effort for the devolop- ment of Eastern Connecticut ought not to allow this possibility to suffer from unr1fperce

SEWING HINTS.

1. Always use as fine a needle and thread as the garment will allow.
 ?. Use coarse thread for gathering.
 3. Do not use a needle to set the gathers-use a tape needle or the head of a large pin.
 f. The rule for frilling is one and a quarter the length of the edge to be trimmed.
 When making tub dresses for the children of gingham, chamhray etc., make a little plain petticoat of the same goods to be worn and laundered with it. When next seasons length ening or repairing time comes. use the petticoat. The goods will be all of one color and look far better than if new pieces were used. Many a sensi- tive child has been made to feel very unhappy by wearing a garment where the goods were decided contrast to the old.

LATEST PRINCESS SLIPS.

The Balkan blouse dresses were scarcely launched on the market before a separate lining. in the form of a slip, was made to take care of this new requirement..

SEAMS ON IRON REDsTEAD.

To put pillow shams on to an iron bedstead has always seemed an inn possible task. Take white tape, about one inch wide, tie to the head posts of the bed then get very small brass rings, about quarter inch rings are the best. and sew firmly to the tape; then the. smallest safety pins and sew to the shams; that will bring, the rings on the tape and the pins on the shams together on the underside. Fasten the pins and rings together and have them near enough so they can not sag; take ribbon any shade preferred and tie a good sized bow and place at the corners of the shams; the ribbon will cover the ends of the tape and make pretty finish at the corner
 At night do not remove the shams. Throw them up and pin. to keep from wrinkling.

PRESENTING THE FACTS.

The extension of the time for con- ducting the investigation into the al leged insidious lobby at Washington is not based upon the progress which has been made, or the success of the un- dertaking thus far, but rather upon the desire to do the work thoroughly while it is underway Whether 1t is finally determind that there is a lobby or accelerators in Washington, noth- ing has been shown of a corrupting influence and there are men working for free trade as hard as any who may be working for the retention of differ ent duties than the tariff bill proposes.
 As the New York Commercial well says: ITO write to a member of con- gress or to talk to him is not lobby ing in the objectionable sense. To of fer him personal inducements is, but this charge has not been made by any member or other responsible person. Most reforms have come from with out and the pressure of public opinion has been a salutary force ever since the first congress met, The neWspa- pers have done their part in enlight- ening congrss. but they have no mon opoly of the right to tell congress what they think.
 "The duty of q representative of the people has always been a subject of debate. Should he do, what he believes 10 be wise, or should he do what the people who elect him want him to do? It matters not which view of his duty he takes, he should in either case act in a judicial way, and the duty of a judge is to act according to the evil dence"
 The requirement is that for a just decision the evidence of both sides shall be heard that a proper decision can be rendered according to the best judgment thereon.

ONE HAT FOR TRAvELER.

One hat is ali that is necessary for the woman with little baggage to take with her to Europe.
 In most parts of Europe where cabs are cheap hats are discarded entirely in the evening. In England women going out in the evening ride in the buses, if they do not have their own carriages or hired ones, with a veil over their heads-on the way to thea ter, opera or dinner.
 A becoming travelling hat is all that is really necessary for the traveller to have when she starts forth A folding hat of some sort for motoring, noun tain climbing, walking trips or rainy weather will prove q saving to the travelling hat but this can be bought when it is needed.
 And if need arises for a second hat what woman would object to coming home with a sample of Pafisian mill inery among her belongings?

TO CLEAN RUBBER.

A rubber coat can be nicely cleaned by the use of automobile soap a jelly like substance of dark color, which can be procured at any automobile supply store or at garage.
 The soap can be used for other gar ments also, as it does not injure the finest finished material, but the effect seems better on ruhberized goods. The first step in cleaning is to make a strong lather. Clean the coat thor oughly and then apply the soap over small portion of the garment Care fully wash off the soap by sponging with clear water and proceed to next space to be cleaned Dry out of doors.

 AMBER ARTICLES.

Amber is at the top notch of popu- larity. This is significant. in view of the fact that champagne is the popu- lar spring color in Paris for gowns, suits. etc, and that tan is so well thought of in this country.
 In point of fact, however, amber has been slowly, but surely. winning public favor for year or more. Starting with a mere spark. this favor gradually increased to a flame. then became T blaze and now bids fair to finally amount to a positive conflagPation.
