WEDDING GIFTS.

Young girls often want to make g.
wedding gift that is not expensive
and yet they want It to be in perfect
taste and. IL possible, not duplicated.
One girl has made habit Of giving
a guest book or register for the new
home. These can be found at a well
known leather and novelty shop for
SIS. They come in all colors and
when marked in gilt with the name
or initials make a gift sure to be en-
joyed and appreciated
Another girl says she has given
several little fat, solid gold lead PEN
ellis to be carried in the gold mesh
bag or purse. These also at the most
famous Of jewelers. sell at IS, and
when sent in the choicest of wrappings
arc certainly dainty gifts.
And a third young woman, who
has made a study OF appropriate and
appreciated wedding gifts. claims that
the little, apparently insignificant
things, such as sugar tongs. mustard
spoons, butter bali picks. tea balls,
etc. are frequently missing from q
collection of gifts. so she confines

the plans OF what was being put for

That Miss Caven committed crime
which was punishable Is not to be
denied, but she had been a diligent
worker for humanity since the out
break of the war. her services having
been rendered, as stated by Secretary

others"
The purpose OF the speedy execu-
ton on the very night when 1t had
been declared to the American min

LOOKING OUT FOR THEMSELVES.

Even as the allies found that their
diplomacy failed when it came to get
ting Bulgaria to side with them or
even to maintain neutrality, it is
being shown now that it requires more
than the reckoning of Greece and Ru-
mania to get them to participate in
the war.
The sympathy of those nations to
all appearances is with the allies, in
spite of the assertion that the central
powers have guaranteed to Bulgaria
that they will remain neutral, but it is
a far different thing when 1t comes to
plunging into the war with the at
tendant expenses and sacrifice Of life
that must be anticipated Until the
allies can show them that they have
large forces ready to put into that
field of operation to augment the ar
mics which those countries can mus
ter, they have a sound reason for de-
clining.
This is true in particular of Ru-
mania, which would be nenaced from
two sides by the armies of the Teu-
tons and Bulgars. 1t occupies posi-
ton which would make It easy for the
enemy to strike serious blows and
even invite the loss of territory Thus
it is incumbent upon the allies to dem
onstrate to these two countries that
they have the forces and means to
strike decisively in the sections where
they are already engaged. That will
do more than anything else to en-
courage the two Balkan states. Or
dinarily fighting comes as second
nature in that portion of the world
but for once they are giving consid-
Grafton to the armies which the enemy
could muster instead of being blinded
by the offers of new territory in case
of victory.

ABOUT BABIES.

Almost all countries have their sup
erstitions about babies.
In Holland, bread. steak, garlic and
salt are put into the cradle Of a new
baby to insure it always getting
enough to eat.
In Greece, the mother, before plac-
ing her child in it's cradle. turns II
three times round before the fre,
singing to 1t the while, to ward on
evil spirits.
In Sweden a book is placed under
the head of the baby to make 1t
quick at learning to read. and money
is put into its first bath that 1t may
be rich.
In Wales. a knife or pair of tongs
is put into the baby'e bed to keep
danger away.
In England. a baby is taken up
stairs before going down for luck. "
In Spain, the little ones face Is
lightly brushed into the branch Of q
fire tree, also '-for luck"
In America, the girl baby must be
dressed with blue ribbon trimming;
if a boy, with pink-all for luck.

OF THINGS AT
HOME,

A plan has been put in operation in
New Orleans which is due for much
serious consideration in many other
cities, If not states. In that city there
has been adopted for use in the pub
lie schools what is termed 1.-THE New
Orleans Book" which has been COM
piled by teachers for the purpose Of
starting the children right concern
ing the important facts about their
own city which they ought to know.
There is contained history Of the
city from its founding, a review and
summary of its industry and COM
merce, a study of its people, their in
situations, government and organiza-
ton treated in such a manner that
even the school children can answer
the questions about which so many
questions are asked by the visitors
and by the citizens themselves.
1t is an idea which could be put
to good use most anywhere. In fact
there is always too little known by
the average citizen about the city or
state in which they reside, and by fur
nishing this to the school children as
a part of their education they are be-
ing provided with information which
is bound to be of much use and vaIue
as they grow older, and their appre-
citation of the worth Of it is bound t.
develop as they have the opportunity
to deal with bigger things following
their school days.
1t is a. plan which is often urget
that children should be taught mort
about that which they must come ii
actual contact with and even though
they are not going to remain In on,
city or one locality all their lives the,
are bound to be better citizens through
such a knowledge of ones own town

REcoMPENsE FOR DEER DAMAGE

When a man presents a bill to the
state for reimbursement for damage
to his crops by the deer, it indicates
in the first place that he has not kept
very well informed concerning the leg
islation passed by the last general as
sembly and secondly that the deer still
continue to do harm despite the right
which has been given land owners to
shoot them.
When the last general assembly
changed the deer law so that prop
erty owners, members of his family
or bona fide employees who have been
given permission, can shoot deer
upon their own land there was re-
pealed that law which provided reini-
bursement to the party whose crops
are damaged. 1t was intended that the
farmer should protect his crops, which
he had long desired the privilege Of
doing, since by hunting them it was
considered that the deer could be
soon reduced in numbers which would
eliminate the damage to produce and
orchards.
Though there never had been a deer
census taken, the last figures an
nounced by the state authorities to
the effect that 314 deer had been kill
ca Al Lie SIdl0 up 10 Inc InlQOle OF
this month indicates that the number
is being rapidly diminished, that many
at least of the real estate owners have
been prompt to look out for their in
terests and that good use has beer
made of the right to abate the rui-
sance. Even though there are some
who are still suffering from such loss
es, it is not going to be very long
especially since the season is at hand
when more hunting will be done. Thus
instead Of encouraging the deer and
paying for their depredations Connee
ticut last May decided that the pro
lection was a mistake and it rest,
with the property owners now to &C.
complish the task of putting the dee
out of existence and such damage al
he suffers from them must be balances
if balanced at all by the venison tina

MISS cAvELL,s EXECUTION.

There is nothing which stands out

DEFENSE RATHER THAN RE.
PRISALS.

Thus far there has been no re-
Spouse on the part of Great Britain
to the demands which We're made by
individuals and assemblies following
the last airship raid over London for
the adoption of a like plan of attack
for German cities. While the whole
country was excited over the slaughter
of the defenseless and such strong
resentment aroused that it was fig
ured that it would result in a great
stimulation to enlistments, there are
these who insist that Great Britain
should continue to respect the pro-
visions of international law and not
indulge in reprisals just because the
enemy has seen fit to establish rules
and policies of its own.
Among this number is Lord Bryce,
formerly ambassador to this country,
who is strongly opposed to any such
policy of retaliation and as in all such
questions there is a large following
who consider it the sensible course
to. adopt. Reprisal has been given
no place in the British conduct of the

tacks upon military positions have re-

1t is of course to be admitted that
when one party in the conflict follows
the lead of another and throws to the
wind all regard for regulations there
is not telling where it will end. In.
/ stead of forcing the guilty one to de.
sist there is the alternative that i
will only make such attacks wors.
