SILK CANDLE SHADES.

The beauty about making ones own candle shades is that it is then poSsi- ble to get the exact color wanted. It does seem difficult nowadays, when so many things are on display in the stores; to find something that some one else hasn't thought about.
 Buy the wire frames for the shades these can be had ready made-and shirr or plait about them piece Of thin silk; that is, thin enough for the light to shine through and make a little glowing halo of color. about the candlestick. Edge and top the edges of this shade with narrow tarnished gilt braid or galloon, and at the bot tom of the shade put an edging of slightly fulled tarnished gilt lace or fringe of gilt. A little cuFving line of unbroken festooning, composed of tiny silk roses and green foliage, about the shades adds to their attrac- tiveness. The shirred silk used on the shades Is simply a straight strip of silk little wider than the shade is high from top 10 bottom and long enough to go twice or one and a half times about the wire shade before it (the silk) Is shirred. Such shades, made in old rose china silk, braided with tarnished gilt and festooned in tiny rosebuds in pale pink on pale green foliage are lovely and when lighted, send out 8 soft pink glow that is especially beautifying to dining room on winter evenings. Yellow and burnt orange and deep pink also lend this comfortable glow to a room

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

It is but proper that the country should call halt for a day that it may celebrate the Birthday anniversary of it's first great leader. George Wash ington is still an inspiration to his countrymen and the admiration and respect which he arouses, increases rather than diminishes. The manner in which he undertook his task, his devotion to what he believed his duty even to accepting the presidency for the second time when he had decided to decline, his statesmanship, integ- rity and patriotism all combine to make him an example of great value to the country today.
 As the English historian Green has said 1t was Washington's clear judg- ment, his heroic endurance, his silence under difficulties, his calmness in the hour of danger and defeat. the patience with which he waited, the lofty and severe sense of duty that never swerved from it's task through resent ment or jealousy, that never through war or peace felt the touch of mean CT ambition, that knew no aim save that of guarding the freedom of his fellow countrymen, and no personal longing saving that of returning to his own hreside when their freedom was secured, which taught men to cling to Washington with a trust and faith such as few other men have won. and to regard him with a rev. erence which still hushes us in pres ence of his memory
 There are two birthday anniver- saries of national importance which occur in February and while Wash ington and Lincoln were men of far different type, it Is the man in both which makes such a deep and lasting impression.

FREIGHT RATES.

The announcement that it is the in tention of the interstate commerce commission to hasten along the mat ter of freight rates as fast as safety will permit is in accordance with the demands of the situation. It is inn portant to business that the decision be received as early as possible and it is vital to tfRe railroads that they secure the relief for which they have applied.
 It is apparent that the readjustment is 8 complicated and patience taxing problem which calls for full consid- eration, but conditions which are de- pendent thereon are deserving of as early a decision as is justifable for the relief of the prevailing uncertain ty and for the'readjustment which they must undergo.
 Until such decision is rendered or an indication gained as to what the final decision may be little can be done by the railroads in the way of future planning, The cutting down of waste and the doingr away with extrav- aganee can and shozIld be practiced at all times but with fixed operating eX- penses on the incE.ease and income showing a drop. the limp portance of the rate question and Ssdetermination are readily recognized. There is nothing to be gained by needless delay while the quicker it can be known what rates will govern the future in rail- road operations. the better for all con- cerned. The statement from the com mission indicates a realization of the importance of the case and there is cause for satisfaction in the assur- ance that there will be no needless delay

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Much Useless Knowledge.

There is a vast deal of the worlds learning that is pure waste.
 As matter of fact, perhaps nine tenths of the knowledge men accum- ulated up to a hundred years ago is useless, except to show how much is not worth while.
 As a sample of the amazing nonfacts men swallowed whole on the word of servants take the literature of the mandrake.
 This plant, the mandragora offici- nails of the Mediterranean region, was from the most ancient times endowed by superstition with strange powers.
 The reason for the crazy beliefs that attached themselves to this plant was doubtless the shape of it's root, which is forked and crudely resembles human legs. The upper part is not unlike a mans body. and with a little skill one can cut the top to look like a head. while if grains are lmbedded in the crown they will sprout and give fair imitation of hair.
 Here are some of the facts:
 The mandrake can be used as the basis of love philter
 When pulled from the ground it utteTs a human cry.
 To uprOot a mandrake was danger oUs business. PIiny advised first drawing three coneentric circles around it with a sword. Theephrastus recommended jumping three times around 1t. The approved method in the middle ages was to tie a hungry deg to the plant and offer him a piece of meat: he gives q iunge, and there You are! No one hurt with a curse except a dog.
 All this may serve to show the method of minds before Che modern era. q
 People did net want to know what was true, but what was interesting.
 Historical truth is a modern dis eoVery. Scientific truth had no par tieular value up to a few generations ago,

rHE EXECUTION OF BENTON.

In the treatment of American and foreign subjects in Mexico since the revolution was inaugurated nothing has contributed to so much uncer- tainty and unrest as the execution of William S. Benton, British subject Other deaths have occurred but they have not been under such eircum- stances as surround this execution.
 The responsibility for it rests sole Iy between General Villa and Benton but it iniects into the revolution an unfortunate and uncalIed for incident because of the foreign complications which can be raised It presents a sit- uation which up to now had not dis turbed the policy of "watchful wait ing" and the disposition noSy of Great Britain to leave the matter entirely in the hands of this country indicates that a broad view is taken of the af- fair.
 While the course which was pur- sued by General Villa from reports so far obtained show Bentons death to have been uncalled for, there cannot help being the realization that there was negligence on his part in undertaking such a mission. He knew Villa and he knew the difficulty which he had in restraining his own fiery temper. He should have understood the value of having the beast good natured rather than angry when placing his head in the lions mouth. Benton attempted to do something which wasAbeyend the protection of this country and he paid a high price for it. It is another rev elation of the character of the men who are leading the Mexican people and while Benton failed to make good use of the knowledge which was in his possession, it,is nevertheless one Of the worst blows to its sympathizers the revolution has received.

PEACE TREATIES.

With this country taking leading part in the movement for international peace it has been placed in a peculiar light by the failure to act upon the several arbitration treaties which have been waiting approval. They were entitled to the serious c0Rscisatlous at tention which they deserved, without unnecessary delays. To do otherwise meant disregard for the position which the eo4Rtry had taken just so long as the negligence prev a4Ied

MOTHS AND cATERPELLARs.

The amount of good which has been done by the gathering and destruction of the brown tail moth and tent cater pillar egg masses during the past sev- eral months can hardly be imagined, but 1t better remain unknown than to experience the raVages of the pests just for the sake of finding out That it has done good is known because it is the most effective method of treatment There is nothing better for once the egg masses are destroyed that ends the possibilities of a count less number of moths and caterpil- lars.
 It is in its early campaign against these pests that Connecticut is going to obtain it's greatest benefit. It is a situation in which indifference or care lessness should have no part and if such does prevail to hinder the cam paign protection of property and pre- csutionary methods for health should arouse any delinquent towns or gee tions of the state to activity since there remains but about a month in which to make the work effective. Thereafter the moths will commence to hatch and the problem then becomes greatly increased.
 TWenty-seTen towns have been secuted for the browntails and where found destruction of the nests is the remedy. When the state entonologist declares that the future local work must be done by the property owners, city and town authorities and that some law requiring this, similar to Massachusetts and New Hampshire laws, will probably be required, the responsibility of property owners is clearly set forth. The task is the smallest at the present time that it ever will be if neglected and it is an effort in which everyone should realize his individual responsibility. Pre- orastination is friend of the moths and eateFpiilaFs.
