TWO DIVORCE SUITS.
Marital Troubles Coming to Superior
 Court-Unfaithfuln Alleged.

Papers in two divorce suits were filed on Tuesday in the office of Clerk Parsons of the superior court, one re- turnable before the court on the first Tuesday in June and the other on the first Tuesday in September.
 For the June session of court Mrs. Johanna Paracenti of this city brings suit against her husband. John Para centi of New York, alleging adultery with a certain Mrs. Parker in Norwich between November, 1907, and Novem- Der, 1910. and also that the defendant is subject to an incurable corporal i'm becility, and that he deserted her on November 2, 1908. They were mar ried on June 23, 1885, the maiden name of the plaintiff being Johanna Tossa- mini. They have no children.
 Byron T. Moves of this city. who married Minnie F. Crandall on July 4, 1906, brings suit against her for di- vorce on the alleged grounds of adul- tery with Charles Hoxsie at various times since January 1, 1912. The case is returnable before the September court The marital troubles of the plaintiff and defendant have been be- fore the Norwich city court, where Mrs. Moves has had her husband pre- sented for non-support. Last week the court gave him a sentence of sixty days in jail. from which he took an appeal and furnished a bond.

FOR FISH AND GAME.
An Important Measure Passed by the
 Senate.

The state senate did a very unusual piece. of legislating for the fish and game interests of the state late last week.. Fishermen, hunters, naturalists lovers of wild life and those who be- lieye in a large commercial future for state in the proper handling of it's birds, fishes and animals, will be greatly interested in the news of the passage by the senate of the new fish and game board bill. This went through unanimously and with ap. plause.
 The bill makes a board representing every county in the state and com places under them a single superin tendent of fisheries and game. clothed with full power allowed to choose his own county and local officers, and re- sponsible to the board of fisheries and game for the execution of the laws and the upbuilding of the fish and game resources of Connecticut. The bill combines the advantages of an advisory board representing all the state and having the power of appoint ment and removal for cause, with the advantage of a single-headed respon- sibility for the actual administration of the department
 Senator F. S. Johnson, in introduc- ing the bill as a substitute for a pend- ing measure. said that it's enactment would be the greatest forward step in the history of the handling of the fish and game interests of the state For once" he said, we have a measure that proposes a buSinesslike plan of handling the department. together with the intelligent supervision of a body of men who serve without pay and represent all the sections of the state. in the spirit simply of good citizen ship"

STATE oRNITHoLoGIST GOING TO MANITOBA
With Governmest Expedition-Pians
 to Domesticate Game Birds.

The departure of State Ornithologist Herbert K. Job of West Haven to join a government expedition to Man itoba in the interests of wild fowl propagation, calls attention to the work now going on in this state to domesticate a number of species of game birds. MT Job last summer went to the wilds of Manitoba, and under license given him by the Can adian government. collected eggs of various species of ducks, brant, swan and geese which migrate to those re- gions in the breeding season, matched them in home made incubator and brought back the young birds. A num- Der of wealthy men financed the trip and since then many kinds of wild fowl have been kept at the Connect icut college at Storrs, at Norfolk on a game preserve there and at several preserves in Westchester county N. Y. It is stated that an experiment made the past year in a preserve in Westchester county netted $2,000 profit in the raising of the wood duck and supplying it to the New York markets.
 The present expedition is better equipped than any previous one and works under a permit from the Cam adian government.

Miss Mary Patterson of Providence, who gave such an instructive and entertaining talk on embroideries to the Norwich Art school last month, continued the subject of art needle work with an excellent talk on faces given at the Slater Memorial on Tues day afternoon. Lace work grew out of embroidery. This open work on linen was extensively made in the Greek islands and it's general name was cut work. Reticella was the next step and differs from cutwork in nav ing most of the linen cut away ana then filling in the spaces with geomet- rica1 designs. It was called Greek lace by the English, who found 1t in the Ionian islands. but it's origin was Italian as much as Greek.
 Printo in Aria was done without any linen border and was the beginning Of real lace. Netted lace is another very old form and had its origin in the old drawn work in which the threads were squares. There are two principal kinds of lace pillow and point. In early times lace was used only in the churches: from the 9th to the 12th centuries it was confined exclusively to this purpose.
 Claim invention of Lace.
 Italy and Flanders both claim the IHN6nllOH Ol IdC6. 6HICG pIODdOIS was the first place where it was in troduced Venetian needle point con- sists entirely of buttonhole stitches The three chief varieties are rose point, coralline and grounded Vene- tian. From Italy lace was introduced into France, where it was renamed point de France by order of the king. The two distinctly French laces are point DAlencon and point D>Argentan. The French used many floral designs. The Flemish laces are mostly pillow laces, of which they were the in- ventors. The only pillow lace of French make is the Valenciennes which diff fers from other pillow laces in being made all in one piece.
 English Laces Not Original.
 England has no original lace work. Her laces are the result of Flemish and Huguenot lace workers finding refuge and work in England Irish laces are of comparatively recent in troduction designed to give employ ment to the poor. The first machine made lace was made in Nottingham, Eng, in 1910.
 Miss Patterson had many lovely specimens of real laces and also brought with her a Belgian lace maker, Mrs Macs, who showed how these needlepoint laces are made and many beautiful pieces of Point de Gaze which she had just made or was working upon.

The shortage of skilled help in the textile mills of eastern Connecticut is being soreIy felt by the manufac- turers. In the vicinity of Plaineld it is said the mills are short at least a thousand hands and much machinery is standing idle. Inquiries from other places for help indicate that the short age is general. One of the principal reasons for conditions is that the French Canadians who have usually come in the fall to work through the winter have stayed on their farms
 The attractions in Canada have been many and the drift of the travel has been westward. French Canadian mill hands are rapidly becoming less in number as farming has been paying better. Most of this class of help have
