NEW coLoRs.

The new silver green is a lovely tint. It exactly resembles the color of breaker just before it topples over below it's crown of foam, and is par ticularly effective in velvet and silk cashmere, brooches and soft silks. In satin it's white lights are rather strong. It is the prettiest shade of green that has been seen for many years, and will undoubtedly be popular through out the spring.
 Another new color that has caught on is called "coq de roche" and is deeper and warmer than buff and has an affinity with tango tint. But the union of black and white is the most noticeable of the moment. and Scotch tartan is in great demand among the fashionable dressmakers. It is used for panniers and for frills, edging panniers of other material, also for the sash in some of it's novel forms, such as extending into train. catch ing the folds of draped skirts, forming an immense bow some inches below the waist at the back, occasionally even in front. with ends falling below the knees. One may see before long whole gowns composed of sash and stole and nothing more.

LET EXPERIENCE cuIpE.

Despite the demand for political p1urns the merit system has prevailed thus far in making consular aproint : fnents in the present adrninistra- ton, Because it has. there are req sons to believe that it is approved and that President Wilson finds thepais, the best means of getting from those representatives the kind of service which is wanted. It has long been recognized as the proper way of nam ing such officials if they are expected to rerdsF service instead of receive rewards.
 By the death Of Consul General Graf- fiths at London an important post is subject to appointment. He was named for his qualifications and in calling atfentien to the fact that MT. Wfisoh has etHng to the merit system despite Secretary of State Bryan, the Boston Transcrfpt expresses tho hope and belief that in filling the vacancy at London the president viii send fer the records of the con- suiax service and he governed by them alone in his appointment. Secretary Bryen is not fn sympathy with the merit system either in the diplomatic or esnsHiar services, and his advice and counsel in this case would not make for a wise or fair selection. The c0nsti who stands at the head of the list for effieieHcy and industry de- serves the admirable record of MT. Grif1ithss
 The president needs nothing more than comparison of the excellence of the consular service under the merit system and the weakness of the diplomatic service u1laer the present method of appointment to guide him in filling the place.

hen; an extraordinary woman pos- sesses the brains of two hens" There fore, having my own ideas about wo- men and their wisdom. l am going to hear this anti suffrage speaker. and judge for myself just how my opinion of her agrees with that of Confucius- since he is not here to make his own observations. CThis is my first chance of making such an ob- servation, since the police-lady who spoke to a crowded house some time ago, I believe, was hardly a fair ex- ample to go by.)
 The papers state that Mrs. Georges audience will be enlightened; interest ed and amused, and any woman who can do those three things, must sure ly have the brains of twelve hens, to return to the homely Confucian ssnile.
 I am too old fashioned to enjoy the sight of women wrangling in public, so I hope, if any of the suffrage faction are present, that they will preserve a calm and serene exterior. and not throw. their new spring hats into the ring with too vixen-ish manner. Fair belligerents pray remember that little nursery rhyme (somewhat changed, to be sure) which goes: And. 'tis a, sorry sight,

A Word to the Voters.

Mir. Editor:-The republicans of Norwich have nominated, for the ap- prova1 of the voters the first Monday in June ticket composed of men whose wide experience, honesty. in tegrity. business ability, and efficiency will be found to be the highest value to every individual citizen in Norwich.
 The head of the ticket for mayor. A. D. Lathrop, has been one of leading business men and citizens of Norwich for the past 45 years and rendered very valuable and efficient service as first selectman of the town of Norwich for a number of years. The wide ex- perience of the two aldermen, George R. Ravens, and Casper K Bailey, who for the last 25 years have been suc- cessful business men and worthy citi- zens of Norwich, will be of great time. MT. Casper Bailey's efficient services as councilman for the 9th dis trict and his fight for efficiency is too well-known to need further comment.
 And now a word to the interested citizens of Norwich. Lack of space does not permit me to tell you all the good things about all the other splen- did men on this ticket but you may rest assured that the entire ticket if elected will give you an administra- ton that will measure up to your ex- pectations of how the city affairs buOulu pc ndnQl0Q III LII eI1Clenl anu satisfactory manner.
 In casting your vote, don't cast it merely for a clever fellow of for a col lection of men who give the best job in the city department to a man who is not a resident of the city.
 We believe that you. Mir Voter, should receive q dollars worth instead of 30 cents worth of service for every dollar expended by your city depart ment and that only enough men should be hired as are absolutely necessary. so as to enable the department to do the best work. Of course 1t makes no difference to you whether the city money is wasted knowingly or for lack of efficiency. The main auction is that it should not be wasted If you want better streets and needed improve ments, why don't you, MT. Voter wake up and realize your responsibilities and elect the entire republican ticket and be sure of getting dollars worth of services for every dollar expended Why not have a resident of the city of Norwich at the head of your street department? It is only fair that jobs of this kind should go to residents of this city and not to outsiders. Re duce your taxes by getting you1 friends and sneighbers to elect this ticket.
 Give the republican party your sup- pert and they will give you and honest and efficient administration.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Two Queens.

Mfr. Editor: Much interest con- tinues to attend tho relations of Queens Elizabeth and Mary to each other.
 ..Eastsider'' has stated the ancestry of Mary correctly, but, what does he mean by ''her cloudy birth 2" There was no question as to her legitimacy and she was certainly in the line of succession to the Enfilish crowns, after Elizabeth,
 As to the two queens addressing each other in endearing terms. it is not certain that they ever met. but rather the contrary. No English his torian makes mention of this meeting. pr. Weber. author of Outlines of History denies it, and Greene, in his History of the English People, makes nc mention of it, Elizabeth refused to see Mary till she had cleared herself of her husbands murder, which, un- fortunately she did not. History IS, however, divided on that point. It IS not even certain that Elizabeth sign ed the death warrant. but that 1t was forged by Walsingham.
 Schiller's drama is fiction, as are touching pictures of Mary, kneeiing at Elizabeth's feet. and pleading for her life.

It was just seventy years ago yes terday that the telegraph was form ally introduced. Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor who had work ed for twelve years on eleetro- magnetic communication, and his associate, Alfred Vail, had strung the first line between Washington and Baltimore. On the morning of May "A, 1844, Annie G. Ellsworth, daughter of the then commissioner of patents, burst into the United States supreme court chambers in Washington where Morse and sev- eral distinguished men were gather ed around his telegraph instrument, and brought the news that congress had appropriated $3o,000 for official tests of the invention, after a dis heartening series of refusals. Morse reached for the sending akey and ticled off tha historic message, What hath God wrought? ?, Vail, ill a station at Baltimore, surround ed by another group of distinguish ed group of distinguished men read the message upon a paper tape Two days later the telegraph gave out it's first public news by an neu2cing that Polk had been nomi- mated for the presidency in the s Baltimore convention.

NHlTMAN,s WORK.

When one stops to realize what the case means to the city of New York there can be no surprise at the con- gratulatory letter which was for wareled to District Attorney Whitman by Mayor Mitchell. Throughout all three trials, the two in which Becker waA directly concerned and that of the gunrnen, there has been ter rific effort to support the detrimen-. taI criminal system which had been built up in the metropolis. The onfy way by which 1t can be diseouraged is by the inf1iction of just such pun. ishmerit as has been carried out or Is indicated by the verdict just ren- dered.
 The conviction of the actual mur- derers and the instigator has been no easy task entrenched as they were by the cIeverly devised system from which they were reaping handsome .returns MT. Whitman has shown wonderful ability throughout. the en tire prosecution He was the man that New York needed at that critical time as it has since been found. He recognized the necessity of conviction and not permitting vice and crime to get the upper hand of law and order and proceeded about his task with the persistency and sI1rewdness which brought success. Particularly was this noticeable during the second Becker trial where he was not only able to retain the chief witnesses and able to locate them two years af- ter the first trial but he secured two others who gave added strength to his case.
 New York has reason to feel proud of the service which Mir. Whitman has rendered. It was no easy or de- sfrable task but, he met the require ments in 8 manner which means much to the future of New York city.

RED A FAvoRTE.

There is a decided revival of red abroad for informal street wear and spring wear. Sometimes it is a brilliant shade bordering upon scarlet and at other times a new shade also bright known as sealing wax, red" To make the color even more marked it is be- ing worn with white.
 There are stunning tennis blouses of red crepe de chine worn with white skirts. Sometimes these tennis blouses are long waisted middy effect and shirred to loose but fitted band about the hips. The blouse is thus neatly confined and yet is loose enough to give and move upward when the arm is raised to catch high bal.

WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN
TO DESTROY ANTS.

The warm, damp days, so frequent in spring, always bring ants. The only way to get rid of these insects is to destroy their nests. But 1t is often iifffcuIt to locate them A good plan is to place little mounds of coarse sugar around. The ants will each take up a grain and make their nest with 1t, SO should be watched When the nest is found drenchD with kerosense or a strong solution of caf'holic acid. Ants dislike the smell of camphor. This scattered around will keep them away but as they are usually around food, campflor is scarcely practical because of its strong odor. which the foods may absorb. In snch a case try sprink- ling with red pepper.

THE DUST NUISANCE.

Many women are annoyed by dust frors sweeping or in cleaning the range Here is @ way to overcome it: Buy sponge large enough to cover the mouth and nostrils. Get sponge that has fairly large holes in it. Snip off bits from the inside until a hollow is formed to fit the face. Tie to each side tapes long enough to fasten be- hind the head. To use the sponge when sweeping or cleaning the range, wet 1t and squeeze it nearl dry and tie it in place over the nostrils. It col lects all the objectionable dust, and the nostrils and throat are thus kept clean and unirritated.

RHuBARB AND FIGS.

A most excellent spring sauce Is made with stewed rhubarb and figs. The proportions require third as much of figs as you have rhubarb. Soak the figs in hot water long enough to plump them Then put them in a double boiler with the rhubarb, which has been washed and cut into inch pieces without peeling; add sugar to make as sweet as desired and steam until tender with adding any water.

FLOOR STAIN.

A very inexpensive stain can be made from burnt unnber and hot water. Five cents worth of the burnt umber will stain several floors: that is. where a rug is used for the center. Pour the hot water over the burnt umber. a little at a time, till it is thoroughly dissolved. Use quart of hot water to cents worth of umber; that makes a pretty dark brown stain. Let 1t dry, then rub on any good floor wax and polish.
