ILLUMINATION OF NIAGARA.

The illumination of Niagara Falls is at last an actual reality. Expet- ments have been carried out with such success that it has been decided to adopt the proposition permanently. Powerful incandescent lamps have been effectively distributed about Goat Island and the American Falls. and have been 50 arranged that they neither mar nor detract from the beauty of the Falls by day. Every evening, beginning at dusk, this bat tery of lights is played on the great Cataract, producing an effect won- drous in it's beauty.
 Those who have seen Niagara by day will find in this new conception an interest and charm in vivid contrast
 to the beauties of the sunlight spec tacle of the great waterfall. Those who have never seen it before will find all the usual joy and delight of watching the rushing. roaring waters by daylight with the additional treat of seeing them illuminated artificial ly in the evening.
 Besides this and the many other attractions of Niagara visitors to the Falls this year will be afforded the opportunity of viewing the Whirlpool from above, sight heretofore en- joyed only by the aviator and the birds. The Niagara Aerial Galloway, the longest scenic aerial cableway in the world, is daily carrying passengers from. shore to shore. 1900 feet above the rapids. Each car has carrying capacity of 45 persons and is oper- ated along a multiple cable tram way.
 Reservations are being made by MT. M. J. Ormond, 129 Church street. New Haven, telephone .1140. for those car ing to make this trip over Labor Day at the very low rate of s11.40 round trip from New York city. The jour ney will be made over the Lehigh Val lev Railroad. through The Switzerland of America" one of the most beauti- full sections of country east of the Rocky Mountains.

CLOTHES AND WORK.

The demand among a certain type of men for clean handed, polite jobs is often commented upon. They will accept low pay if thework seems of a gentlemanly type where they can keep their cuffs clean. They dislike plung- ing into the votal processes of fac tory. They would have to wear over alls.
 That there are some women who entertain similar ideas was suggested by the remark of fashionable dress maker the other day. She does busi- ness in a good sized city, employing some 15 girls.
 'fn delicate light gowns. These would be appropriate to attend after noon tea in. But they do not fit in my business. The girls often have to work on dark colored cloth with lint or coloring matter that rubs off. They kick at using such material. But I have to wear dark clothes myself, in which I can handle anything. Also their hands are so carefully mapicur- ed that they don't like to get them soiled."
 Probably these girls desire to ap- pear on the streets as if they were la dies of leisure. If they dressed like working girls, they might meet some of their swell friends.
 The majority of business girls have no such false affectations. They go to their work simply dressed. seek Ing into the vital processes of a fac- tion. But there are others who are affected by the wealth and false stan dards of the times. Their work is not their first aim in life. Their hearts are set on attracting attention, get ting ahead socially, becoming inti- mate with Society people"
 Young women of this type defeat their own ends. They are disliked by their employers and are accepted only for lack of more efficient service. They get few advances in wages. and when there. is a chance for promo ton, they are passed by.

 TODAY'S POEM 
THE LARK AND THE BATTLE.

Came Hull in the din of battle; The cannon had ceased to roar; When up from the field of carnage / We saw sky1ark soar. And as, though from a peaceful mea-
 dow,
 F1ower-starred and unstained with
 blood, He poured forth his rapturous music In a sweet, unbroken flood. As higher he mounted, and higher, Into the limitless blue, We found ourselves eagerly watching The tiny bird as he flew. For the wondrous notes he was singing, Each clear and sweet as 8 bell, Touched hearts that were bIunted with
 fighting, And turning earth into Hell. Forgotten our lust for the killing, Forgotten our hate of men, As the happy scng was repeated, Over and over again. But soon from our foe came more
 shrapnels
 And men all around us fell; No more could we hear the lark sing
 ing
 Alas, we again were in Hell. Vida Chandler, in New York Times.

An Unusual Combination

Since unusual materials are difi. cult to hnd in the development of un. derwear, one must needs select mus. uh designs. Here is an envelope chemise made of pink washable creT,e de chine, which even women of mod- crate means admit is among tho cheapest materials to. use for lingerie since it wears and launders 50 we'll The chemise is to be slipped on over the head and has an inverted p1ait at each side of the front.
 To reproduce this model in medium size requires 2H yards of 40-inch ma terial with 515 yards of edaing. It is easy both to cut and to make. The lower edges of the chemise may be finished in straight or round outline.
 The cutting guide is nothing if not simple and one can see from it at . glance how the sections of the pattern should be placed on the ma- terial. The back is laid into position first. resting on Q 1engthwise thread of tAD material. In order to avoid a seam, the front is placed on length wise fold of the crepe. Pin the. sec tionS to the material, then cut. If tno ouoHAoo ue ueSif6Q m rounded outline at the sides, cut of lower side edges of front and back along indi- eating small "o' perforations.
 The under arm and shSuldey seams are closed frat, in beginning the con. struction of the model. Then form an inverted plait in front, placing "To on corresponding small "oo perforation and tack. Close center back seam. Lap thr extension of back on front, matching small Co, perforations and close with button and buttonhole. If desired, work eyelets at upper edge of front and back; insert ribbon and draw to the required size, or finish with beading.
 A bit of hand embroidery on the front will add to the daintiness of thf chemise.

TREATS HER POOR
 MOTHER WRONG

Mrs. K writes: 'I married before now. First husband, false against me, severed in court our union. Could not give young daughter what his folks had to offer-a beautiful home. Judge awarded her to them. His Christian kin influenced my girl against mo. She refused to speak. When I had my child I became invalided for life. Sse is beautiful. I am poor. She won't notice me- I was wealthy. She called me mother I am down in world. From beautiful home she passes me, not speaking. Son stands by me. Will see he inherits my money I hardly will live long. Is thus just?"
 Sadness like this is pitiful. Down. cast heart, bear up bravely. It's . long road that has no turn to it.

The ordinary disease known as measles" has already this year cost the lives of 11s children. besides leaving some crippled, others partly blind or deaf and many in delicate health.

 EGG CONTEST

] The one thousand hens in the lay | ing contest at Storrs laid 3,490 eggs l in the forty-second week of the conn | petition. This is an average of three and one-half eggs for each hen or c yield of 50 per cent. Rock Rose Farms Barred Rocks from Katonah. N. r., were in first place with . yield of 57 eggs. The Agricultural College pen of "Oregons'' from Corvallis. Ore. won second place with 65, and W. p. Atkinson's pen of White Leghorns from Wallingford, Conn.,, were third with a production of 52 eggs. Two pens of Barred Rocks from Corvallis, Ore, and Springfield, Ohio, tied for fourtb place with 50 eggs each. The season for selecting next years breeders Is now nearly at hand. Poul- trymen make such a selection in the autumn because it is easier to pick the hens that have done good years work. Heavy laying leaves its sign on the hens herself. These ear marks of productivity are more evident in September and October than at any other season. all of which explains why the wise poultry man makes his choice at this time of the year, rather than in January or February just prior to the breeding season.
 The hen that lays lots of eggs slowly but surely loses the yellow colorins matter in her beak and .shanks. and also in the ear lobes in the Mediter- ranean breeds. It has been assumed that this yellow color is used up in the yolks of the eggs that she pro- duces. Thus along in September and October a good layer will exhibit a pale beak and pale shanks quite in contrast to the bright yellow legs that she possessed seven or eight months ago. The poor layer. on the other hand, is already in mott and is be- ginning to regain the yellow color that the. good layer is still losing. t The three best pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows:

THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE.
(State Board of Health.)

(State Board of Health.)
 Not in recent years has an epiden- ic of disease so aroused the people as has the present scourge of infantile paralysis.
 To the public this disease is a new disease and it's attendant paralysis spell horror almost as great as death. Satisfactory treatment is unknown, and the exact mode of transmission of the disease from one child to another has not, as yet, been determined.
 In view of these facts no result can be expected other than the feeling of greatest anxiety and concern, partic- ularly on the part of parents.
 While we. deplore the occasion for such a state of public mind, never theless it acts as an incentive for the adoption of conservative and efficient health measures.
 It is true that in some communities it has invited somewhat nasty and reactionary methods of control, but the general effect upon the control of communicable diseases will be good.
 People will appreciate more than ever before that diseases of aecontag- ious character, while they may in- wade clean homes and communities, do not originate in such communi- ties.
 The unsanitary tenements, dirty streets and alleys. poor and careless garbage disposal. dirty and poorly ventilated theatres and halls, and many other conditions of our present day life. will be found responsible for the spread of these diseases.
 It will not be long before this cpl demic is gone and forgotten and in- fantile paralysis will take it's place with other conta gious diseases that are now classed as ordinary" and which are given little thought But it is not time for the public to become anxious and concerned over all contagious diseases.

HIS COMFORT BETTER
 THAN HER NICETIES

B. N. states: Attending a dance last night, I became warm and per- spired. End of first encore, l wound a silk handkerchief round my neck so as not to soften my collar. My lady friend deeply resented this and finally said I should learn ethics. Do you think I did wrong? Ought ones com fort to count more than rules of eti- quette?"
 Your view of comfort was what think better than all niceties. She thinks so too.
