SPENDING PUBLIC MONEY.

It is impossible for the people of other states not to get interested in the manner in which those in the Elm pire state who participated in the California junket during the exposi- tfon are trying to prevent a detailed statement of their expenditures from being made public.
 The sum of $700,0 was spent bv the commission which looked after the details of the New York party's trip and inasmuch as it was the peoples money that was spent there should be an accounting. It is not sufficient to report the total amount for from the minute that it becomes impossible to get an insight into the different uses to which the money was put suspic- ion begins to breed, and whetherf there is any good foundation for it or not the very thing which would clear up the situation is being covered up.
 When it comes to spending almost three-quarters of a million, whether it is in the big state of New York CT one of the smaller ones, there ought to be proper respect for those who are forced to provide it and especially so when 1t is used for meeting the ex- penses of a pleasure trip. It makes Ao UAAA ehGe Il SUCH metnOdS nave been adopted in the past for that is reason enough why it should not be countenanced any longer, and there ought not to be any toleration of the Idea, which too many have, that as long as 1t is the states money that is being spent there is no limit which they are bound to respect.
 New York does right in insisting upon an itemized account and it might not have been a bad idea to have withheld the appropriation until after such had been filed.

 The whole affair was clouded with much mystery and the recent an- nouncement that a compromise had been effected whereby the New Ha- ven road has secured $1,250,00o does not clear it up. It prevents 1t from being aired in the courts and the only conclusion that can be reached is that the contention of the present admin istration of the road was such that the defendants did not care to try 1t out and trust to their side getting the decision, and 1t is safe to say that nc further deals of that character can be expected In the future.

Stories of the War
Canadian Good Eiahtera.

The Canadians have won a reputa- tion as good fighters in hand-to-hand encounters. Their ability in this re- spect was lately demonstrated when an expedition of twenty-five started out on a trench raid and returned with with twenty three, having accounted for about double their number and destroyed two machine-guns and a considerable portion of trench.
 There had been a certain livelihood in the German trenches in France and a bombing attack was planned. When darkness fell the bomb throwers crept forward, making slow progress. A false move. a cough or a sound of any kind meant instant death. The Prus- sian Guards in the German trenches were apparently in merry mood, and snatches of a love-song came occa- sionally fro mthe trench.
 At last the barbec wire entangle- ments were reached. They were stouter than had been anticipated. II took long time, but the barrier was

Terrors of Verdun,

T fought since the beginning of the war" says a soldier who has returned to Paris and who was present at the fighting at Ornes. "I saw the sham bles at Suippes and Souain. They were nothing to what l saw last week. The enemy advanced, and we retired under orders, but We killed them by the dozen. It was so terrible that l who have watched my comrades fall around me almost with indifference shuder as my memory recalls those scenes.
 As their battalions advanced upon us they were in serried masses, by files of 20. The shrapnel from our 15- millimeter guns and the projectiles from our heavy artillery fell among them. and you could see the great gaps. as if a mower had passed with scythe. Then high explosive shells which burst on contact fell, and limbs shot into the air. We were so close that pieces of their torn flesh fell among us. Eventually we reached Moncourt, and took shelter for a time in q wood. Although 1t was o'clock in the morning, the bursting shells made it as clear as day, giving
 the battlefield the aspect of a fairy scene.
 From behind us the French artil- | lery fired into the German masses, the | German shells flying over our heads toward the Douaumont section. Then our machine guns, placed in batteries | every five yards, began to play, and we
 saw the dead in groups upright, where | there was not room to fall From | MOncourt I followed the supply road tC | Fleury, where l took the light railway | toward Verdun. The heavy guns neal | DOnaumOnt and DamlOp were firing a! | fast as they could be loaded. When w passed between the two points the ali pressure produced by the continuOUI discharges, was so terrific that bloot rushed from our ears and our lung! almost ceased working"

GUEST ROOM BLoTTERs.

Guest room bIotters are covered with stiff, chintz covers, the blotter leaves inside being held in place by narrow satin ribbons. The chintz is the same as that used in the hangings of the room. On the outside cover of the blotter a picture is pasted, and then the entire cover is sheIlacked. These blotters are handy for guest room use and may be renewed cheapIy and often enough to keep them fresh and in viting in appearance.

Up to the present there has been no adequate arrangement for treatment
 or cases of insanity or acute alcohol
 ism, pending the time when perman- ent disposition of the cases could be made. In the interim between the dis covery of the cases and the time when the individuals were sent away for treatment, victims have been subject to ignorant, if not inhuman handling for the simple reason that there was no place to put them and no one in authority to care for them. The po- lice did as well as they could with the means at their disposal but the re- sponsibility was distasteful to them and of necessity much was lacking in ways and means for overcoming the difficulty.

Do not hesitate to darn embroideries, It is quite the thing to do with fine and valuable pieces of work, just as fine lace mending is approved by even the wealthy if it is necessary 70 pre- servo a bit of beauty. Lace menders are so expert that it is difficult and frequently impossible to detect their work and it is possible to mend em- broidery in the same way.
 Very often a small leaf or flower or spray may be worked over a worn place and made to look like part of the original design.
 If you have no immedite use for old embroideries, lay them aside. Even though they are worn they are worth keeping, for though you personally have no prospect of sufficient spare time in which to mend them another may at some time take great delight in the task.

Blanket stitch is popular at the pres ent time, largely due to the fact that
 bit of color can quickly be applied in a decorative way by means of this useful stitch. Some of the new serge dresses of dark blue have a bit of em-
 broidery done in this way, using wOr-
 steds as the medium. Long and short
 blanket stitch around the collar and
 the sleeves or outlining a vest effect on the front of the dress, with per-
 haps a scroll design carried out in the
 same way on the girdle, gives a tell
 ing touch to the gown. Gray worsted
 or an old blue shade on a darker blue are new and attractive combinations.
