THE State of New York has given
to the women of that commonwealth.
lin round numbers, two millions Of
women) the right to vote at all cleo
tions. and it goes into force at the
first of the coming year. This act on
the part of the men of New York is a
surprise, in view Of the fact that only
two years ago. the question of en-
franchisiHg women in New York was
defeated by more than two hundred
thousand majority. while at this No
vember election it carried by one
hundred thousand majority through
out the state of New York. Two
years ago the brewers and liquor in
terests of that state. and also of
Pennsylvania and other states, sent
huge sums of money to defeat Woman
Suffrage in New York. but at the re-
cent election they had so many fights
to make on other issues that the suf-
frage question was not attacked with
vigor in the great liquor centers, and
with the great revulsion of public |
feeling in favor of giving women
equal rights with men. justice has
been done to the women of the first |
state in the whole union. The men
Of New York are to be congratulated /
for the result and final settlement of |
the Women's Suffrage question, in
favor of justice and fairness to wo-
men, and for the moral effect it will
have upon the government in the fu-
-ure.

THE SALE of liquor is a question
which has no arguments in its favor
from any standpoint. It is a damn
able business which has grown to
such huge proportions in the United
States. that it reached out into the
home life of the people. and the dom
ineering attitude which the leaders of
the liquor business had assumed to-
wards the political parties. reached
point where the liberty loving citizens
were compelled to rebel, and take
steps to free the country from this
moral leprosy. This rebellion has
grown to such proportions thru ed
ucation that there is not one commun-
ity in all the United States where
liquor has a defender who can stand
before the women. and the men who
recognized the demoralizing effect of
whiskey upon the human body, and
make a reasonable argument in favor
of liquor. By the closing of all bar
rooms in the National Capitol City of
Washington, an example is set for the |
balance of the United States, which |
will be followed by nationwide pro- |
hibition of manufacture or sale of al
coholic drinks before 1920. No en-
ployer can afford to employ man or
woman who drinks liquor to any de-
gree of excess. The men who have
the liquor habit fixed upon them are
10 be pitied. but no mistaken sym
1athy in such cases should be toler-
lted Even the rum-soaked sot can
'eform--if he is compelled to, and be-
.ome a fair and useful citizen-in-
tead of a charge upon public char
ty. Such men must needs be forced
o take care of themselves, and abso-
ute prohibition is the only means of
oing this for them

admirers in Kent. Some Of his
friends in Sussex believe he would

Gratis are opposed to a lawyer becom-

Andrew C. Gray and John Biggs of

Gates for the senatorial nomination.
Kent and Sussex Democrats have

A Favorite Easter Trip.

The schoolteachers and public school pupils throughout the country seem to have by common consent adopted East CT week as the ideal interval for a sightseeing trip to Washington They have been going by the thousands each Easter these past few years, and they besiege the White House office building in throngs-for the chief aim and pur- pose of this class of visitors is to ac- tually shake hands with the president instead of merely inspecting his house and gazing at his estate, as do most sightseers. And, moreover, the presi- dent, being good natured and imbued with something of the Easter spirit, usually grants the requests of these Easter pilgrims who clamor for an audience.

An Unconscious Linnuist.

Men have trarc.@l >arclI, i' not al ways placidly, tino'' ha:t IEr3p, with no other language than En l.s!I at their command, but lew have been so lucky as a corrCspondC.t of New York paper whose English was actual ly taken for French by inc French themselves.
 While he %1okc no language other than English, this gentleman had ncv- CT had any trouble in travelling in Eu- rope. In the only instance when he greatly longed to be able to speak an other language he was helped out of a predicament in a most unexpected way. At a railway station in Paris he could not make the porters under stand that he wanted his baggage Finally he exclaimed:
 "Oh, b'gOsh!''
 One of the porters replied. "Oui, ban. gazh, Oui, Oui, bah-gazh." and he soon produced the Americans trunk. That was the first time h. knew that the French have the word "baggagc" and learned how they pronounce it.

When your friends come to play with you during the Easter holidays select leader The leader stands in the cen ter of circle Each player holds out his hands, palms upward. and upon each of them the leader places an Eas- ter egg. The leader then goes around the circle, catching up the eggs in turn and trying to strike them upon the hands that hold them.
 Each one tries to withdraw his hands before they are struck The same lead CT continues until he is able to strike some one'a hands, whereupon the vic tim must take his place. If one's hands are withdrawn and the egg falls to the sg.'ound because Of feint on the part of the leader it is as if his hands received the blow. At the end of the game the eggs can be eaten.

N an account of Easter ill Rome l published in the New York Even I ing Post mention was made of the curious ceremony of blessing the fire in the famous church of St. John Lateran.
 All lights having been extinguished on Thursday evening, new fire is struck on Saturday by means of flint and colossal brazier filled with charcoal. After this is done the bishop, accompa- nied by his ministers with the cross, holy water and incense, in his miter and magnificent vestments, blesses the new fire and the five grains of incense that are to be fixed in the paschal can dle.
 Two long lines are formed of young deacons, students and monks waiting for ordination. They stand face to face with the bishop, looking down the line and stationed at the church door. After sprinkling the five grains of in- cense, which are large silvered cones, and fuming them with the censer, one of the deacons puts on a white dal- matic and, taking the rod with a light ed candle fixed at the top, the ofticia- tors fall into procession and return to the tribune.
 The lighting of this new fire repre- sents the rising Of Christ and his vic | tory over sin. From the spark obtained the paschal candle is lighted, and this, according to St. Anselm, signifies three , things: The virgin wax typifies the body of our Lord, the wick the soul, while the flame Is the symbol of divin- | ity. The use of the Easter taper is ] very ancient in the Roman church, dat ing back as far as Pope St. Zosimus, who at the beginning of the fifth cen tury ordered that 1t should be made in the shape of column, on which the order of office was incised. The dimen- sions of the Easter candle were enor- nous at the beginning; the largest one of the kind is now the papal candle, measuring four inches in diameter and about two yards and half in height. After the return of the procession to the chancel the blessing of the candle takes place, and it is decorated by the deacon with the five balls of gilded md silvered incense, which he thrusts into the wax in the form of a cross, These are symbols of the wounds and perfumes with which the body of our Lord was covered; it is lighted as q symbol of the resurrection and burns during high mass and vespers until Ascension, forty days after Easter.

Hovv to Dye the Euos,

The best method is to dye your eggs just before breakfast or before you want to serve them. If your dyes are all ready and you have read over your directions beforehand you need allow only ten or fifteen minutes for the task. Have your dyes ready in old teacups. Green, light blue, orange, rose red, purple, pink, yellow and scar let are the usual colors. Cook your eggs to the desired degree of hardness and then quickly drop them from the boiling water into the hot dye and as soon as they have taken the desired hue remove them from the dye and place in inc dish from which they are to be served.
