Mot WORK for the presldent.

It is highly gratifying to learn that
the president will also try to get sec
ond and third class postmasterships
transferred to the classified service,
It is foolish to burden the president
with the responsibility Of filling these
minor posts. The time he is obliged
to spend considering such appoint
ments is absolutely wasted There
are enough really important things
for him to wrestle with without being
handicapped by refereeing petty
wrangles over political spoils.

eartx,s Promises Redeemed.

When the criticism Of schoolmaster
craftsmanship and Wilson's dominan-
cy Of the Democracy is made, let
every congressman and every citizen
turn to the Democratic platform and
see how word squares with deed, and
apply to every measure the great
test of the Democratic assayer,
Equal rights for all, special privil-
eyes for none" Every new law that
makes for equal rights is good. Every
old law that does not should be re
pealed. The day of special privilege
is done. The Democratic party was
put in power by the American people
to END 1t.

FROZEN pAlNTlEs.

There is no dessert which is so uni
Versally liked as is frozen desserts
There is such variety TO choose
from that there need never be mo-
notony. Water ices and sherbets are
richer and smoother II the sugar and
water are boiled together to a strip.
Banana cream.-Use for the founda-
ton a plain ice cream. either cooked
or a thin cream frozen and favored,
when half frozen stir in q pint Of
banana pulp which has been put
through a ricer and mixed with the
Juice OF half lemon and one orange.
Serve in pretty glasses garnished with
bananas rolled in chopped plstachio
nuts. The balls are made by using
French potato cutter. Chopped mint
can be substituted for the nuts If they
are not obtainable.

and let stand for four hours, packed
in ice and salt.
Nodded Ice cream.-Prepare ice
cream, freeze II, and then pack in a
mold. When ready to serve, turn out
and cover the cream with a cold
chocolate icing. Garnish with choco

A delicious maple sauce to serve
with plain ice cream is hot maple
strip with hickory nuts.
ANY fruit juices, with the addition
Of little fruit that is made into a
fine pulp is we'll liked. One may orig
mate a new frozen dish every day by
varying the combination. A spoonful
Of preserves, like strawberries, rasp
berries or pineapple, will make the
plain ice cream quite an elegant dish

Bank Notes That Talk.

Bank notes that speak have been
patcSted by an English inventor, to
battle forgers. The edge of the note is
perforated so that, when placed in a
photograph, the rough edge generates
sound waves that form words. A dis
puted note placed in the machine
would say, for instance, 81 am a genu-
inc five-pound note"

CHARACTER IN cHiNs.

pointed chin is said to be a sign Of craftiness, wisdom and discretion.
 A soft fat, double chin shows sem suousness and an indolent empers- : ment.
 4 flat chin shows a cold hard na- ture; a small chin indicates weakness, want of will power and cowardice.
 A retreating chin is 8 sigf. of silli- ness. and, if the brow be shallow, of irnbecility.
 Where the space between the nose and the red part of the lip is short an oiled dolling pin or oiled handle nnement and delicacy If perception, but not much power There is no force of intellect where this space is usually short.
 A rather long but not fiat upper lip denotes an eloquent person.
 very long upper lip, which is flat, and which belongs to a straight, or formless, or too thick lipped mouth, is sign of a low and vicious type of character.
 A square and massive chin shows strong and determined will.

uNpEReRouNp WIRES.

Though it is to be hoped that they will never occur again. the tornado in Omaha and the floods in the other states have taught a lesson of much importance in the construction of lines of communication by which other cities as we'll can profit. One of the great handicaps both inside as well as outside the cities was the cutting off of means of communica- tiops because the telephone as well as the telegraph lines had been torn /6own and put out of commission. This made it impossible to learn the real situation permit the summoEing of aid and also made apparent the fact that wires erected in the air are all truction from all kinds of storms.
 Ordinarily there is some means by which communication can be estab- is so well protected as that which is laid underground. Had such existed not only in the cities themselves but between cities the difficulty which was experienced in learning the exact state of affairs would not have occurred. The expense of maintaining such lines is far less after the initial cost and it eliminates the trouble which wind or sleet storms cause as well as giving the protection against fire. What un- derground construction does for the lines in a city it would unquestionabIy do for the trunk lines between cities and in many localities this plan. could we'll be adopted as the result of the experiences.

VIRGINIA FOR JUSTICE.

Virginia is fortunate in having 2 governor who believes in justice else the persistent attempts which were made to prevent the execution of the Aliens, the mountain outlaws would have accomplished their purpose and a blot against law and order would have been placed upon the state It was in direct opposition to the rec ognition of any authority that the Aliens conducted themselves and it was their determination that law could not govern them that caused all their trouble. It was but natural, per haps, that sympathy should be ex- tended to them for the unfortunate position into which thet7 had forced themselves, but it could hardly be pre- stunned that the safety of the state could be made to suffer for the in excusable exhibition which the fam fly made in shooting up the HiIlsvil1e court.
 To Governor Mann, however, is due much credit for the position he took and maintained that he could not in- terfere with the administration of jus tfce- To have shown lentency in such case would have been taking sides with the criminals who caused seven deaths in an effort to escape obeying the law. Virginia could never have lived down such an attack upon its citizenship had the governor wavered or had the scheme tel secure com mutation succeeded.

THE FARMERS, OPPORTUNITY.

For the benefit of the farmer and all who are interested in the better de- sfvelopment of the soil, dairying or hor- { ticulture nothing of any more inn portance is being done than the car rying of practical and valuable facts to them through the institutes and conventions held throughout the state. Tn order to keep in touch with the best modern methods of agriculture the advice and experiences of those who are leaders. in meeting and over coming the problems encountered on the farm, are invaluable. Like any business to make farming success there must be applied to 1t the prin- ciples which keep it on a sound and up-to- date basis. To allow it to con tinue without taking advantage of the latest and most approved meth ods. or gaining an insight to self help from the experiences of successful men. indicates willingness to be set- isf1ed with a small return for labor when a. larger amount is available for the same effort properly applied. Failure to modernize farming or make it bring the best results has been the chief cause of the abandoned farm.
 The agricultural convention which favors Norwich this week is an op- portunity which no farmer in this vicinity can afford to miss When the most successful farmers of the state tell the secret of their work those are messages which mean dol lars at the end of the season. Just as soon as the farmer will avail him self Of the best information and op- portunities for bettering his business, then will the Connecticut farm ac- complish what it is able to do.

MAKING VICE PUBLIC:

Unless it was expected that some good would be accomplished py the publicity which has and is being given to the existence of vice as shown in the hearings which have been conduct ed for the purpose of determining the relation of wages and morals they would not have been held. The re- suit has been it seems to open up the pitfalls and cause the dangers which exist not only to be known, but reveals them so that they can be guarded against and imposes d de- mand for adherence to right
 In viewing the situation the Spring field Union says: "As for the wisdom or unwisdon of the publicity that has attended tbe inquiry there is room for a difference of opinion. The exact truth in regard to both wages and morals and the relation the one bears to the other should be known, and if public hearings ard public discussions will eriry ctt the real facts and aid in reaching a solution Of these prob Ienas tfie publicity. however distaste- ful it may l,e to tiruid CT supersensf- tive souls E to be welcomed rather than condemned.

The frightful coa1itions which have been made possible through secrecy now have a promise of improvement through publicity. Vice, graft and underhanded work always flourish on secrecy.

HOW TO EAT.

Tn the first place, never come to table with a mind full of worries and troubles or in an irritable state of temper nor. again, should you attempt to eat when very fatigued says a physician. Both these states tend to diminish the blood supply to the di- sestive organs and therefore hinder digestion.
 Do not read or study when eating, but also do not sit glumly silent; a little pleasant conversation is helpful and prevents one getting into the ob- noxious and dangerous habit of bolt ing ones food.
 Masticate your food thoroughly. The preservation of the teeth depends largely on the use or misuse of them at mealtimes: to maintain them in health and strength they must be given plenty of work to do.
