HANG ON CURTAINS.

In the small apartment where win- doEs soyenir~- on the street must re auently be thrown wide to admit ven- tiiation. lace or madras curtains. how eyer carefully hung at the season beginning. are apt to become stringy and askew by midwinter. No cur tain of fiiny stuff will retain a fresh, presentable appearance if allowed 10 blow in and out with the breeze, col Iecting smoke and dust from the street, yet one never does happen 10 have a, pin conveniently at hand when the window Is thrown up. sew 2 small loop of tape on one corner or the curtain, under the hem at the pot tom. and drive a tack or small brass hook into the window casing, on the same side of the window, and as nlgn as you can conveniently reach. when the window is to be opened, eaten up the corner of the curtain by the ioop' toss the opposite corner of the cur tain across so that the looped up part holds it lightly, and then attach the loop to the tack or hook The cur tain thus lightly draped up will be safely out of the way and when the sash ia lowered, 1t will take only an instant to unfasten the loop and al low the curtain to fall back in place.
 When there are two curtains over the pane, there is a tendency for them to sag apart at the lower edges ana many housekeepers pin them together. A better way Is to attach small snap buttons which will not slip out, or show like pins and which may pc ad- iusted in a twinkling when 1t is nec- essary to separate the curtains ana open the window.

HELP TO GET OUT THE. VOTE.

Today the polling places in all the city districts will be open from nine o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon. permitting the voters seven hours in which to cast tnelr ballots for city officers for the ensuing year. This Is an occasion when every voter should use every effort to get to the polls and discharge the duty which he owes to himself. to his nefghbor and to his city, There Is no excuse for the indifferent or stay-st-home voter Such but cen- tributes to indifference and laxity in the conduct of city affairs. There should always be a live, active inter est in municipal contests for from just such manifestation upon the part of the citizens at large is the cue to be given to those placed in office Les the idea prevail that any kind of a government will do and that is what will be given. but with the proper fnsistence by large vote for the best Kind of business administration. de- sirable results will be obtained.
 Thus today the voters have the oc- casiOn to get out and make their votes count Norwich wants the best gov eminent. It wants the display of ef- ficiency and economy and the polls is the place to make it understood. The republican candidates have been nom hated to render such service and with such commendable and de- -d<4bls purpose in view they should secure fhe support of the thoughtful vofer1 and taxpayers Irrespective of party. The time is ripe for the get ting out of the vote. Apathy has pre- vailed with regrets leng enough. Get to the polls and take your friends with you and at the same time consider the benefits which are to be obtained by the use of the republican lever, and the election of the ticket of competent and public spirited citizens headed by Arthur D. Lathrop. Don't throw your vote away. make it count for good government

SHOULD HEAR cARaANzA.

Even though the petition of the representative of the rebels does come at a late hour, it Is but proper that the med.ators at Niagara Falls should give him a hearing. Carranza hasn't from the first indicated willingness to enter into an adjustment Of the questions which they offered their help to settle but the manner in which they have gone at it has apparently had it's good effect upon the constitution alists. and after all it is the benefit and education of all Mexico which Is sought and the constitutionalists at the present time form no small part of that republic.
 The effort to enter at this late hour upon the part of Carranza means de- lay, but even that is permissible if greater good can be accomplished, and the rebels must be reckoned with sooner or later if any form of inter- regnum government is to be instituted. When the South American ministers extended their good offices it was for the adjustment of the trouble between this country and Huerta, matter in which the rebels were not interested. When it comes to the settlement of the internal question in Mexico they are decidedly concerned, even though they are slow to realize it, or that the mediators are considering a more extensive programme than they had been led to believe
 Giving the unrecognized head of the Mexican government and the precipi- tator of all the trouble a share in the say of the future, without giving consideration to the strength and pow CT of the rebels, now that they have sought an audience. is to disregard an important element in that country which is certain to be force for suc- cess or more trouble. Any slight de- lay the rebel representative may cause is likely to prove the quickest method of reaching a satisfactory adjustment.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
The Matter With Art.

Shortly after the first production of the opera "Nail' at Paris it's com poser Isadore Lara, was asked What s the matter with art?"
 "The trouble is." she said. in sub stance, that opera is controlled by a small class of people. It ought to be- long to the whole people"
 In other words that same thing is the matter with art that Is the matter with almost everything else. to wit, class.
 Like every other department of hu- man activity, art awaits the liberat- ing touch of democracy.
 Like everything else. art can have nothing so bad happen to 1t as to be patroniKed.
 So long as the artist is dependent upon the caprice of millionaires and kings, it will be hampered.
 The best friend of the artist is the people. What he needs is public, not a patron.
 To serve the public gives a man freedom, mastery inspiration. To the spirit of a valet
 First of all. the public must be brought to realize that art is not the plaything of the rich, but the food of the whole community. That it is civ flizing, refining, has distinct human value.
 When 1t reaches this point it will pay it's artists. It will provide scope in its public halls. churches, galleries tor.
 It will maintain each city its own opera house, where the masterpieces of all ages can be given at prices the people can afford to pay.
 It will abolish the star" nuisance.

LAncLEy's FLYING MACHINE.

Much interest has been centered in the efforts which have been put for ward to make the Langley flying ma chine go, and the fact that Aviator Curtiss was able to make a flight herewith comes as a vindication of the professor vho gave so much thought and tint. to flying.
 Just what ff7ig means is pointed out by the Springfield Republican when it says: If Lane1ey's celebrated test of Dec. 8. 1903 had not failed he would have bridged over the gap between Dr. Chanute. the father of aviation and the Wrights, and even his untime- Iy death would not have prevented him from being regarded as the inventor of the first workable flying machine. There would have been plenty of cred 1t left for the Wrights. who, by patient practice with gliders were qualifying themselves for actual flight, and whose Inventions were of the utmost value. but with a demonstrated flying ma chine in the field it might have been more difficult fer them to maintain what amounts to in this country a monopsiy.y
 Without question the devotion of Prof. Langley to his hubby has. like the efforts of many other inventors, been of tnestimabIe value in the per- lection of tile flying machine. Good use has been made of his ideas in c0mbination with others, which expe- rfence has shown to be valuable but the fact cannot be lost sight of with the f1fEht which has been made that he had actually mastered his problem even thon4h he never knew 1t. Prop of credit cannot be withheld from his

Popovers-One cupful flour, one fourth teaspoonful salt, seven eighths cupful milk and one egg. Mix salt with sifted flour. then gradually add the milk so the mixture does not be- come 1umpy, then add the beater un- til the mixture is full of bubbles. Pour into missing hot iron gem pans which have been we'll buttered, and bake in hot oven between thirty and thirty five minutes. If the popovers be- come brown too soon. cover them with piece of heavy wrapping paper Iron gem pans must be used in place of tin ones. because the heat is more even.

WITHOUT COST.

That proverbial French housewife who can teach the equally proverbial wasteful American how to live on what she wastes is said to make her Justly celebrated soups at a cost of nothing at all. Here are some of the ways by which the magic is accom- plished:
 She saves every bit of meat or gravy, thins the latter and chops the meat up in it, adding the leftovers from the dinner the evening before, for soup for lunch.
 Every little bit of leftover vegetables can be used for soup. If there is not a great deal of nourishment in the ingredients the soup will serve as a delightful appetizer for dinner. The meat bone, whether cooked or un- cooked, can be added to the soup pot.
 The really economical housewife brings every scrap of bone which she pays for home. as well as the trim mings of the meat, and uses it in the soup.
 Then there is the bit of red and green pepper which many housewives throw away, as well as the pepper seeds. which can also be dried and added to the soup herbs.
 A slice of grated rind of lemon is a great addition to the soup pot and so on indefinitely.

THE MARINE HORROR.

Again is the world shocked bv an appalling marine disaster in the rum ming of the Empress of Ireland in the St. Lawrence and her founderink with the loss of Ss< lives. within sight of lard and within the presence of the ship which caused all the trouble. 1t is a repetition Of the sinking of the Dominion liner Monroe by the Nantucket, the unfortunate ship in each instance having given warning in fog to the on \ coming vessel. stopped and then en- deavored to get out of the way of the Inayixator who gave inefncient heed to others. only to receive the fatal blow and disappear. In each instance 1t was the passenger vessel which was giving thought to the lives of it's pre- cious cargo. while the freighters were ploughing ahead through the fog With out regard for anything.
 It is high time that there was fixed method of procedure in time of fog. Today it is left chiefly to tudg- fnent and in these two instances 1t has been the freiFhter operated under the full speed ahead principle which has nullified all the responsibility which inc messenger vessel realized and as- sumed. From all accounts the collier couldn't have done worse had it failed to get and respond to the signals rom the Empress of Ireland.
 Fog still continues to be a terror 10 all navigation and it Is likely to De until all navigators show Tear ana respect for it. The disasters occurring with such frequency show that 1t isn't something for half or part or the naytsators to pay attention to. but for all of them. Had the care used by Capt. Kendall been shared by the cap tain of the collier 1t Is reasonable to believe no such tragedy would ever had occurred It should awaken such attention as to make it the last of such an inexeusable type.

PRINTED STOCKINGS.

Printed stockings are now the thing. The designs. small flower clusters, birds, butterflies and odd futurist pat terms are printed on the white silk instead of being embroidered. and as the printings run from the tip of the toe almost to the knee, up the instep, the stockings are suitable for wear with buttoned boots as with slippers or pumps Skirts are so short now that the stockings are in evidence al- most as much with buttoned boots as with slippers and buttoned boots for summer wear are so dainty and desir- able that many women prefer them with formal costumes on account of the style and correctness they give the street costume.

PLACE FOR SPICES.

How many minutes are lost some times by looking for a can or bottle which has been pushed behind some thing else on the shelves? Here is D simple idea which can readily be adopted: Have made a set of little steps of various widths, having the top step the narrowest. Make them as far apart as the rest of your canis- ters, cereal and spice jars. Then place the smallest cans on the top shelf, the larger cans on the lower shelf, and so on. In this way you will have only one object occupying the width of a shelf, and will never have to look be- hind one thing to find another.

 He is himself a shining example of a case af atayism. His ideas about women are antediluvian. 1 am sure his own mother did not train him prop erly- Probably heredity was too strong for her. He needs to get into suf- frage environment. Or possibly his mother only had the brains of one hen and so could not help him to find his own sense of proportion.
