topped off the beginning of his rest in

He demonstrated his return to com.

looking up the residence of Digby in

Forthwith he engaged . taxicab to

And when, from the forward deck Of

There was as much intuitive appre-

remark; witness the fact that, on land

turn aside and have a look at the fire.

The house in debate upon the
merits of eugenics law appeared to
be opposed to such measure.
A hearing on the bill making medical
inspection of schools compulsory was
held and a spirited debate resulted.
Alexander Dunnett led the opposition
and many spoke for the measure.
Congressman F. L Greene of the
first district was in Montpelier Friday
and at the request of the Legislature
addressed the house.
The house at a session Saturday

measure, also bill allowing town

certain properties, the expense to be
borne by the town asking the aid of
such assistants The house also passed
a bill to erect marker on the grave of
Perry, the only Vermonter killed at
Vera Cruz.
The hearing on the educational bill
Friday evening lasted until nearly
midnight, and resulted in another
hearing for Thursday evening being
set, at which time members of the
special commission preparing the bill
will be heard.
A bill has been passed by the Senate
calling for the reading of the Bible in

provided for, emitting all passages

LIGHTING PROBLEMS.
How to Arrange Lights Comfortably
For the Eyes.

How to Arrange Lights Comfortably
For the Eyes.
In arranging a light the position Of
the worker is the first thing to be con-
sidered. The light must not come from
the front of the work, as we see many
people when sewing sitting facing the
table which holds the light. Rather sit
with your back to the light and with
the light falling over your shoulders
on the work.
One should be sure to see that the
light from under globe does not strike
the corner of the eye. This will in
time almost blind a person. The eye
becomes inf1amed and the sight dull in
very short time This can be avoid
ed by raising or lowering the light or
the worker changing from low to a
higher chair One may say the higher
chair is not so comfortable. That is
true. but the comfort we receive is not
always the best for us, and the eye
sight should be the first consideration
Another thing which should be i'm
portant is the selection of the work we
pick up in the evening. Those who are
employed all day and have been work
ing on colors should select white ma
terials to sew on in the evening, at
least for time, in order to change the
strain of the eyes. If one has been
working on white all day select sewing
with that idea in view and buy the
pretty cOlOrs. If the hands are used
with any materials which are rough
that person should not select embroid-
cry silks. but rather use the mercer
lied floss. since the silk will get rough
unless the hands are perfectly smooth
! If one is working on clothes and has
to sew on dark materials wearing a
white apron will reflect the light and
make needle threading easier. If one
is working on the machine and has to
thread the needle slip piece of white
material or paper under the foot and
much time will be saved. 1t will also
add TO the light if white cloth or paper
Is spread on the table which holds the
work. If white materials are used a
dark cloth thrown over the lap or on
the table will again relieve the eve
strain.
Many times the eyes become tired.
especially in doing very fine work.
Rest the eyes by leaning the head
against the back of the chair and
spreading a cloth wet with cold water

EER4 lie" Iau1lIleS OF the pres
~ ent day. even at the simple
home dinner, have the roasts
and meats brought on the Ia
BILE to be carved. 1t is SO much sim
pier for every one concerned to have
the maid carve it in the kitchen and
pass it TO each diner.
This simpler way, then. makes 1t pos
sible to have Il much smaller table and
also does away with the necessity of
placing any carving implements and
serving forks or spoons on the table
during the process of setting it. The
arrangement of the silver at each place
has gradually changed during the past
five years. and. while many of the best
families adhere to the old way, still
the new method is becoming almost
universal.
The knives and spoons are always
placed together at the right of the
plate and the forks at the left For
merly these were arranged according
to the order in which they were used
beginning at the outside, with the knife
or fork for the first course. and work
Ing in to the plate. But this makes
such an ugly arrangement that it is
only retained by few families.
Far prettier is the present day ar
rangement. which is made for it's ap-
pearance rather than for convenience
Nowadays in setting the silver we
place the soup spoon next to the plate,
the largest knife right next to that,
then the next sized knife beyond that
| down to the smallest knife and spoon
to be used. The coffee spoon is not
put on the table. but is brought into
the drawing room with the coffee serv-
ice later.
A plate is always put at each place
on the table between the silver. being
removed when the soup is brought in

The ancient Britons dressed

To barter beads for Whitby Jet,
