GRACEFUL FINGERS.

No one who uses her hands well can be entirely lacking in grace. The majority of uS carry them as though they were awkward packages.
 If you are one of those whose plaint is What shall I do with my hands ?' begin at once to cultivate ease and grace by getting the fingers into con- iition. It is not enough to exercise the hand from the wrist, or in con junction with the arm-exercisel the fingers as distinct from the hand in order that they may respond readily to emotion and work in harmony with he hands.
 Try these exercises:
 1. Fingers together, outstretched; work them up and down.
 2. Open and close the hand, ener- getically spreading the fingers
 3. Clinch the fist and exercise each finger and the thumb in turn.
 4. Spread the fingers apart and work each finger up and down! keep ing the others as still as possible.
 5. Hold the hand stiff, then sud- Jenly relax the fingers.
 6. Devitalize the hands at the wrists
 '. Hold arm out straight, pain, turned downward. and with fingers touching each other; turn hand on the wrist. The thumb should lie close tc he palm. '
 All movements of the hands should Ippear to be directed by the elbow ol the shoulders and should express per feet freedom, yet absolute control We should receive. never take, things that are handed to us, every movement should suggest receptiveness, yet bt directed-vital, as it were.
 It is most interesting to watch the hands of we'll trained actresses. fol they are always expressive.

JA'PA'N'S ENTRANCE.

The entrance of Japan into the con- fiict which is going on in Europe, which has been believed inevitable since the issuance of the ultimaturn, is witnessed with regret by that portion of the world which is permitted to maintain neutrality No answer to the demand is equivalent to a denial and upon such an interpretation the forces of the mikado are ready to pro- ceed.
 Japan's efforts at present are to be directed towards the taking of Kiau- chau and the protection of British shipping in eastern waters, but what this may lead to it is impossible to tell. There are frequent instances where conditions have completely alt cred plans and results as was, the case when this country found itself with the Philippines on it's hands follow ing the Spanish war. How much more involved Japan will become through the taking of the German base in the Yellow sea cannot be foreseen, even though Japan has declared in a state ment to this country that before any steps beyond the boundaries of that territory are taken this country will be consulted
 Thus has the ultimatum resulted as was anticipated and thus is the task increased for this country to keep put of the deplorable situation. The de- velopments in the far east will be fol- lowed closely and with great interest accompanied by the hope for a speedy adjustment.

DESERVES PROPER srupY.

It Ia indicated that there Is to be some opposition to the plan Of the ad- ministration for the purchase of a merchant marine for the relief of the shipping situation. Some of the op- ponents look upon the idea as one of unwarranted extravagance. Others consider that there are difficulties which will be associated with such 8 venture that ought to be well and thoroughly considered by congress be- fore such step is takens-
 The idea was promoted for the pur- pose of meeting an emergency which was the prostration of our commerce, due to the bottling up of the great fleets of trade vessels flying foreign flags. It followed closely upon the heels of the amended registry act, which was changed for the encourage ment of private enterprise, but private capital was not rushing to take ad- vantage of such risks as would be involved in such transportation plans.
 If there is a chance of violating in- ternational obligations by the govern raent undertaking such a relief to it's foreign trade, it should be made plain at once, but if there is no such danger facing this effort of the government to come to aid of business with other countries, it indicates the proper dis position unless and until something better can be advanced. The opposi- ton which comes through disbelief in government ownership might well subside. in view of the fact that it is solely a question of meeting an energency

AN IMPORTANT MISSION.

f as hoped for, the revolutionary conditions in Santo Domingo can be ended and the two republics on that island given the advantage of peace full conditions and the opportunity to realize upon it's great storehouse of wealth, it will be one of the greatest benefits which could befaIl those peo- pie. It is therefore an important mis- sion upon which the commission sent to Santo Domingo by this country is engaged, for with the well known in- clination of those people and the po- litical conditions which exist there, the difficulty of the undertaking is readily realized
 Modification is needed in the island The future of that republic depends upon it and the quicker it can be brought about the better Both in Santo Domingo and Hayti is there req son for accepting the helping hand which this country is offering or will ing to lend for their welfare. Still it must be brought to their attention, as it is being now by the special com mission, that much rests with them in the way of overcoming past experi- ences. When they realize that revoIu- tions and corrupt politics are and will continue to be gigantic impediment towards the proper conduct of the government of their republic, then a big step will have been taken for their own betterment If the special commission can bring the warning factions in Santo Domingo to this realization, it will render a most val uable and timely service.

NO SPIRIT OF uNFAlRNEss

Because of the difficulty under which the news agencies are operat- ing in an endeavor to give the-worId the news surrounding the extensive military and naval operations in Eu- rope, there have been accusations of unfairness to Germany and coloring of the news matter unfavorarhle to that empire.
 That any such move has been made with malice aforethough by the press of this country Is out of the question. There Is no disposition upon the part of Americans to be unfair to Ger many, even though. despite the warning of the president many people find it impossible not to take sides and back their favorites, but such is not the spirit which guides the press Im- partiality is the intent in it's news in just so far as it is possible to get it, and sight must not be lost of the fact that strict censorship is playing a powerful part against it's accomplish ment, since the sources of the war news which are available are all close 1y guarded. With the impossibility of vertfication, who can pick the true from the false rumors?
 In the meantime as the Cincinnati
 
 sider:-
 "First--What has any American newspaper to gain by perverting the news of the European conflict?
 "Second-What possible effect could distortion of the news in America have on the tide 1.-the battle in Europe?
 "Third--What help can the Ameri- can press extNnd to any of the bel Hgeref1ts in Europe by bitter defar1a- tion or lying praise?
 F'ourth--Why would any newspaper any more than manufacturing con cern, or a jobbing house, go out of it's way to publish or cause to be publish ed misleading or belittling statements that clearly would offend and alienate it's friends and patrons?
 Until these questions are answered the American press needs prepare no defense of course it is powerless to alter at this time.''

WHAT IT COSTS.

With European nations seeking loans for the maintenance of the war and other expenses of government, it only requires a glance at the indebtedness of nations to see what has been the price of participation in and prepared ness for war. The debts run to supen- dous figures and they are going high CT.
 The debt of the United Kingdom is placed by the latest figures at $S620.- S09, ,735. That of France by the last available figures reached $6,511, 579, ,955 while in Russia the total is $4,222, S5S,- $50. Such shows that those countries in the triple entente have an indebt- edness of over fourteen billion dollars. With Germany it is slightly less the debt running to s1,131, ,414,175, though with the states and colonies it is in- creased by about four billion more. That of Austria goes to nearly two and a. half billion with Hungary having an additional debt of S1,150,000, 900. Italy has a debt of over $2,700, 100000 while ir, Japan the national debt is s1,241,- s97, ,000.
 In Belgium where levy of fifty million has just been made by Ger many and loan of equal amount has just been negotiated. the debt amounts to $759. 100000 and is still rising.
 Debt reduction is a matter whict' receive little attention in these coun- tries even during normal conditions The prospects that they can ever be wiped out grows tinier each day.

FIRELESS KETTLE.

The principle of the fireless cooker kettle is the same as the well known fireless cooker, except the kettle does not come in a cabinet. It is made of aluminium and insulated with mica. On the base is a metal ring, which prevents the kettle from warping when used for baking purposes. The top is arranged so that heat and moisture cannot escape. An asbestos pad ac- companies each kettle. On this the ket- tie is set after it has been allowed to boil about one-third of the time it would require to cook the inclose food in the ordinary stove. There are four sizes of the kettles. of two. four. six and eight quart capacity. the two quart size being for cereals.

 feIlow democrats. can you hazard a guess as to the reason why the name of John B. Benway, republican, is of- fered to the honest democratic voters of Norwich as a delegate to the state convention? Does it suggest itself to you that the similarity in name with Adolphus Benoit, a tried and true democrat, may be a reason? Does 1t occur to you that the name of John E. Benway. republican is being forced down the throats of Norwich demo- crats in order to confuse and deceive them2 It seems to me that the time has some to shake off the shackles of such bossiSm.
 Judging by comment which l have heard in many public places. I believe there is little question that the voters will Monday night elect delegates to the state convention who have an- onunced their desire to support the candidacy of Congressman Bryan F. Mahan of New London, for the Uni- ted States senate.

WHEN YOU SWEEP.

For sweeping room neatly there is nothing like newspaper aid. Take a page of newspaper or other >conven- tent paper, wet in hot water and squeeze until it ceases to drip. Tear into pieces the size of ones hand, cast them all over the carpet, then sweep and most of the dust in the room. if you use your broom judiciously, will be gathered into the papers. After a velvet or other heavy pile carpet is thoroughly swept, a sponging with ammonia and water will preserve its brightness wonderfully
