THE ECONOMIC PHASE.

It is undoubtedly true that the ad- ministration has had an undesirable lesson on tariff for revenue only, in the bunting for the flag incident which it did not welcome. It is undoubtedly true. as stated, that foreign bids for the bunting were not sought. The market was open to the foreign makers, however and they entered the com- petition with the advantages which they possess in the way of hours and labor. To have the navy or any other department yield to such conditions would have been the most unpatriotic and un-American act which could have been done. Thus it was but to be expected as has been announced that the department considers it the bet ter policy to patronize home industry and the foreign bunting will not be purchased.
 The affair has, however, had it's in- teresting side, but as the Springfield Union says: Let us hope. however, that the economic phase of the ques- tion Is not wholly lost on the admin istration and on the voters as a whole When we buy abroad we get the object of our purchase. but the foreigner has our money. It is just as true or WooieH anu cotloH Sooos' boots and shoes, cutlery and hard ware, as it is of the bunting for the flag. There is idleness but no real freedom for American workmen if our factories close down and we get what we must have from across the water
 Apply the bunting affair to all other commodities in which the foreigner can underbid us and purchase abroad, and what becomes of our industries and the we'll paid American workman?

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Fried Chicken.

What are we coming to? Whither are we drifting? And oh, times! and oh, manners!
 The chief high worshipful of the United States food research depart ment, Mary E. Pennington, now takes the stand and deposes that fried chicken is bad for us. That is to say, fried chicken that is fresh killed.
 She withdraws her objection pro- vided the fowl after being killed be kept in dry, cold air for twenty-four hours while the flesh loses its heat Then it should be repened from three to ten days in a temperature of 32 degrees. Then your chicken will be fit for cooking and eating"
 This, of course. is prohibitive. Few farms and families have cold storage houses. The plan in operation since the days of Adam is to send one of the devoted bullet seven times around the barn finally to sit on it, and then wiring its neck. Shortly after this the hired girl dresses 1t, and ere the sun sets it is on the table bringing joy and gladness to the inwards of the family.
 It is difficult to get over the convic- ton that these scientific people are set upon robbing us of our most de- lectable things to eat. For, put it to the reader as man to man, was any dish ever so downright good as fried chicken?
 All other forms of preparing the fowl fade into drabness beside this. Roast chicken, baked chicken, smoth- cred chicken, fricasseed chicken, and deviled ch.cken-give us regulation southern fried chicken against them. one and all.

other girls and women similarly af- fected in the village were now called, began their accusations.
 The first persons mentioned were Tituba, the Indian slave; Goody Os- born, bedridden woman whose mind was affected by many troubles, physi- cal and mental, and Sarah Good, a friendless, forlorn creature, who was looked upon as a vagrant.
 In March, 1892 the first examina- tions were held in the meeting house in Salem village, John Hawthorne, ancestor of the novelist, and Jonathan Corwin, acting as magistrates, the three accused women having previ- ously been remanded to jail. The vic- tims did not receive fair treatment, for their guilt was assumed from the first and no counsel was allowed.
 At the trial it was brought out that the children were tortured whenever the alleged witches looked at theml During the months of April and May of 1892 Justices Hawthorne and Cor win with Marshal George Herrick were busy getting the witches into jail, and the good people were startled astounded and terror stricken at the number who were seized.
 Bridget Bishop, who had been ac- cused of witchcraft twenty years be- fore, was the first to be brought to trial. So as there. was no doubt about her., she was quickly condemned and was hung on the 10th day of June in the presence of a crowd of sad and frightened people.
 The new Governor, Phips, who had just arrived, fell in with the prevail ing fear and new bench of special Judges was sworn tn- On the 3Oth of June Sarah Good, Rebeka Nurse, Susannah Martin, Elizabeth How and Sarah Wilder were brought to trial; all were found guilty, except Nurse, who, being a church member, was ac- quilted by the jury.
 In her first trial Tituba, the slave, confessed that under threats from Satan, swho had most often appeared to her as a man in black, accompanied by a yellow bird. she had tortured the girls and named as her accomplices the two women, Good and Osborn. Tituba was sent to the Boston jail, where she remained until the delusion was over. She was then sold to pay the expenses of her imprisonment and is lost to history.
 Within a few months several hum dred people in Salem and nearby places were thrown into jail. On the before the court. They were all quickly convicted and sentenced and were hanged on Gallows hill. It was not long before the jsils were full. One hundred and fifty prisoners awaited trial; 200 more were accused or suspected.
 Finally, on the second Wednes Jay in October, 1892, about a fortnight after the hanging of eight in salem. the representatives of the colonies as- sembled. and the people of Andover, their minister joining with them. ap- peared with thier remonstrance against the doings of the witch tri- bunaIs. reversal came at last. At the following trials the juries changed sooner than the judges, and they sooner than the clergy.
 At the January session of the court in 1893 only three were convicted, and they were reprieved, and in the spring Gov. Phips, being about to leave the country. pardoned all who were con- denned and the jails were delivered. The excitement subsided as rapidly as it had arisen, but the evil work was done

cENTERPiEcE HOLDER.

Embroidered or lace trimmed cen terpieces should be ironed flat and rolled up, not folded, for putting away If desired very little boiled starch may be added to the last rins- ing water, but the centerpfece will look handsomer if simply wrung out of hot water and ironed while wet with a very hot iron. Several center pieces may be rolled at once over a length of broomstick or any other stick of suitable size and length. Newspapers made into a long, smooth roll, will answer if there Is nothing else handy.
 A most attractive receptacle for the safe keeping of centerpieces may be made with an ordinary mailing tube, a yard long. one yard of lowered cre- tonne and several yards of number four ribbon at or cents teh yard. Cut off the four corners of the square of cretonne and bind all around with cover the ends of the mailing tube, pasting the material to the tube with library paste Paste one edge of the square along the tube, roll over until the tube is completely hidden and tack in place The cut off corners at either end will fit nicely around the covered ends of the tube At the op- posite edge of the cretonne square sew short lengths of ribbon, and when the centerpieces have been laid on the square, begin at the tube and roll up, tying the finished roll of cretonne and centerpieces within, by means Of the ribbon ends Or, instead of using rib bons to tie up the roll, attach metal snap fasteners to the cretonne in such manner that the roll may be snap buttoned together

STEAMER GIFTS.

No one likes to go empty handed to bid bon voyage to a departing friend. A little parting gift of some sort is all most imperative these days, by virtue of custom and courtesy. There is, of course always the gift of flowers. but though flowers make the state room charming at the time of depart ure, they speedily fade, and may con- tribute their quota toward seasick- ness if the voyager is not seasoned sailor. Better is some practical gift whose usefulness will be continually pleasant reminder of the g1ver.
 A tea outfit completely equipped may prove an unspeakable comfort in the stateroom when the dining room seems to be impossible leagues away. Such an outfit includes. besides dim inutive tea pot and two cups; tea strainer, spoons, caddy filled with a mild blend of tea, a tin box of lump sugar, one or two lemons, and box of unsweetened crackers. A cake box of tin. attractively covered with flow cred cretonne and fitted with tooth- some dainties for afternoon tea on deck costs but a dollar and will make its possessor a popular member of the deck colony.
 will appreciate a deck bridge board, which may be set up on the lap as one reclines comfortably in a steamer chair. There are groups Of grooves in which the four hands of cards may be kept separately-secure against against the tugging breezes-and as the cards are played" they are re- moved from the grooves and tucked under an elastic band at the bottom of the board so that the score may be kept in mind.
 Books are always an acceptable bon voyage remembrance, but no traveller cares to be loaded down with a lot of volumes too good to be thrown away without a aualm of conscience yet for which the luggage provides no space. Magazires-especi the magazines which contain complete novels-are the best choice and the selection should include only bright. cherry reading of not too solid a character.

POWER IN LIFEsoArs.

Nothing demonstrates more thor ouEhly the need of equipping vessels with ufchoats, some of which at least have power than the unexpected dis covery of the third boat from the burn ed steamer Columbian with five of the
 men alive, off the coast of Nova Sco- tia Never again was it expected that the occupants of that boat would be heard of when the search was aban- doned. There seemed little chance of their being alive, if afloat at that time. but ten days have since passed and despite their deprivations and suf- fe-ihgs they live to tell tale of weird experiences in which as far as nak- ing headwab . was concerned they were almost powfrless. Their entire de- pendence lay in being picked up. It came too late for many of them and fortunate indeed was it that any were found alive two weeks after casting loose on the open ocean.
 Just what a power boat would have done for those desperate sailors can easily be imagined. It would have in- sured in the first place the three boats being together and thus their earlier rescue. but equipped with provisions and the necessary motive power they could have long since made the coast from where the steamer was aban- doned without other aid What their suffering has been cannot be irnag- fned There was a hopeless outlook when the Cutter Seneca came upon them and effected the rescue and such there is for those who are forced off onto the deep as they were without being able to get The benefit of their wireless call for assistance. The in- stance where a power lifeboat would have saved many lives has been re- vealed- It certainly has a place and use on every well regulated ship.

VOTING MACHINES.

For the first time in the history oi the city, Norwich is 10 use the vot- ing machines at the June election foi the selection of city officials It is step in behalf of accuracy, early re- turns and an assurance that the vote has been cast and counted as intend ed which has long been needed and there is every reason to believe that II will prove as successful as has been their introduction in the town elec- lions.
 The arrangements which have been made by the registrars of voters for the demonstration of the voting ma chimes that any who may feel the need of instructions may get them when there is plenty Of time to clear up any details over which there may some misunderstanding should win such appreciation as to keep the regis trars busy. It is a move in the right direction for while there have been several demonstrations and the ma chimes have been used at elections they have been alternated with the ballot to such an extent that more or less confusion may still exist concern ing their use, simple as 1t Is.
 For the instruction of any new vot- CTS, or those who may not have had chance before to use the machines it means the opportunity which should not be missed The dearest and best advice upon such things is to be gain ed when there is plenty of time and not by waiting until election day and depending upon nasty and uncertain directions. A demonstration of the machines and an opportunity to work them when there is time to make sure upon all points should be taken advan- tage of rather than neglected.

SENDING ARMS TO MEXICO.

The capture of the city of Tampieo By the Mexican rebels causes another Question 10 arise for determination by the administration. Because of the uncertainty of affairs in Mexico and the possibility that munitions of war permitted to go across the bord CT might eventually be turned against the army of this country it was wisely decided after the Tampico incident that the embargo should be replaced. and 1t was. At that time it was the pnlp way in which the rebels could ob- tain arms and ammunition. not being In possession of a seaport and it cramped them at critical moment.
 Ever since Huerta's refusal to fire the salute this country has taken ad- vantage of all opportunities to pre- vent the landing Of arms and ammu-
 consigned to the federals. The c4 of Vera Cruz blocked one ship load. the friendly attitude of Ger many was responsible for other car goes being carried hack since we have established no blockade and have many times reiterated that war has not been declared. As far as our ships were concerned the last consignments of arms could have been landed in fed eral seaports.
 Since the rebels have taken Tam pico, giving them seaport for the importation of munitions they have been making extensive preparations for shipments of arms and ammuni- tion- Naturally that port is entitled to receive such goods if federal ports are and if the rebels can get them from foreign shippers. but when it is indicated that shipments from this country through that port will be al- lowed but the border embargo must remain it seems like closing the front door. but permitting the business to be conducted through the side If that is final It must indicate a better Understanding with the rebels who it must be admitted have shown no pro- Huerfa feelings
