in parliament the other day when il
became known that steps were being
taken to reduce" the 100000 dogs that
inhabit the British Isles. The result was
a protest from alarmed dog -lovers and
chorus of approval by dog haters
Newspapers have been flooded with let
tiers from both camps.
The suggestion of the government to
raise the dog tax from $3.50 to s. is
one of the proposed steps to 'reduee the
dogs" But it is pointed out that the
breeder and well-to-do owner will not
be deferred by an increased tax. In IA
vor of the dogs, it is declared that dogs
were never more useful than to- day. The
head of London dog home says he gets
more requests for dogs than in peace
time-so many women are nervous now
that their husbands are in the army
and they buy dogs to guard their homes.
He saws that to forbid dogkeeping as
a form of wasteful extravaganza would
cost more in human happiness than it
would save in fuman food.
WHAT really makes patriotic people
boil with rage is to see fashionably

John Webster, who has been visiting
his parents in Westerly, R. l., during the
past week, returned to his home on Pearl
street last evening.
The regular monthly business meeting
and social of the Philathea class of the
Congregational church will be held on
Wednesday evening of this week, instead
of Tuesday, at the home of Mrs. n. d.

to a half a dozen pampered pets These
are the dogs accused of eating the pound
steaks.
''The really best dogs, like all the best
people," says the Daily Mail, "eat sim.
pie food. A good house dog in we'll
ordered household may be kept in per-
feet health at an infinitesimal cost. It
is the utterly useless dog with no merit
but pedigree and no part in life but to
be pampered that develops fastidious and
extravagant tastes and becomes NUS
ance at home and in the street, in the
hotels and in railway trains"
But it appears certain that whatever
other breeds may be affected by the
threatened reduction of licenses the Brit
ish bulldogs place is secure. In defence
of the bulldog it is stated that he is not
an expensive luxury, that he will eat
almost anything and only requires one
good meal a day.

NEW SUGAR PROCESS
Is Calculated to Make S2,5oo,ooo Annual
Saving in Hawaii.

Honolulu, r. H., Jan. IA new proc
css for the manufacture of sugar from
final molasses," which was announced
at the annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters association last month
NAV, it is estimated result in a saving
Of not less than $2.500,000 year to the
sugar men of the Hawaiian islands, and
effect even greater saving in Cuba and
other cane-growing countries.
The process was announced by j. n. s.
Williams, of the island of Maui who is
the inventor. He has not patented his
process, and its use is, therefore, open to
all sugar growers. The planters asso-
citation went on record as recognizing
MIR. Williams discovery as the biggest
achievement of the year in the sugar
industry.
The process takes from the so-ealled
final molasses" approximately one-half
of the eight per cent. of sugar that has
hitherto been considered a total loss. No
process had been known by which this
sugar could be crystalized and recovered.
In Mr.. Williams process, the first"
molasses is boiled as usual but instead
of ceasing to boil it at the usual stage,
the boiling is continued up to the point
of practical exclusion of all water. The
resulting product, while still hot, is run
into containers. where it is allowed to
cool and solidify for about. week, be-
coming as hard as rock. This material,
which contains the crystalized sugar, is
broken up, passed through crushing
process, mixed with water until it be-
comes once more molasses. like texture,
and finally run through specially con-
structed centrifugal. This makes about
1000 revolutions per minute, about dou-
BILE the usual number, and it successfully
extracts the sugar that formerly was
lost.

SPEED UP SHIPBUILDING.
British Government Authorities Are Con.
sidering Plans.

| siderlng Plans.
London, Jan. 1.-The question of ex.
pediting mercantile shipbuilding is re-
ceiving attention from government au.
thorities and a speeding up" order has
gone forth to various shipyards where
the tonnage under construction is be-
lieved to be very large. Lack of men
and materials seem to be the chief draw
backs, and in all probability skilled men
will be brought back from the front to
enable further steel furnaces to be
opened, while dilution Of Ia Dor and util-
ization of women workers viii probably
be carried still further.
Besides the large number Of orders on
hand, three shipping firms have each or
dered a large cargo vessel of over 1000
tons, the p. and o. company have placed
an order for big passenger liner and
Furness Witty have ordered seven big
cargo steamers.
In various yards around the coast
ship repairing is being conducted as rap
idly as the moderate amount Of labor
will allow, the recent stormt weather
having caused considerable increase in
the demand for repairs. Several new
steamers are being fitted out. notably a
10000 tonner on the Clyde. Royal Mail
liner at Belfast and the 20.OO0-ton Red
Star Belgenland, whereon some 1000 men
are employed.
In the Belfast district additional build
ing berths which have been started viii
allow for the construction Of l6 large
steamers.

ponular SUBSCRIPTIONS


1t is considered unlucky to see the
new moon for the first time thru glass.
To see it outdoors over the left shout
der Is lucky; over the right shoulder is
unlucky
Letters asking favor should be
written in the full Of the moon. In
fact. the full of the moon is lucky for
all events. A birth or marriage in a
full moon is indicative of prosperity
1t is considered unlucky to have the
eyelashes cut during the wane of the
moon. They will not grow well, but
will grow awry and fall out. To have
them grow long they should be cut
while the moon is on the increase.
Animals born when the moon is cres-
cent shaped will be weak and short
lived; those born at the full Of the
moon will be strong and long lived.
Trees are thought likely to decay
when cut during a waning moon. The
bacon Of hog killed in waning moon
is also said to waste much In the cook
ing.
The following invocation to be ad-
dressed to the first new moon of the
year is known in England:
New moon, new moon, I hail thee,
BY all the virtue in thy body
Grant this night that I may see
He who my true love shall be.
In her sleep that night the maiden is
supposed to see her true love.
Taken For Granted.
Hes bitter? Yes-it's natural; you
know
His sister lives in Brussels. Her two
girls,
Fifteen and seventeen-
That was all she said.
There was no need of more: knew the
rest. =
But suddenly 1t caught me at the heart
To think how strange it seemed to- us
at first,
That story, something hardly to be
told,
Hardly to be thought possible: and
now
Now 1t has grown as natural as death
And in our streets the slim young girls
go by
Dainty in little fineries of spring.
Flashing shy glances thru life's opening
door,
Just as the young girls went, four years
ago,
In Brussels-and Suwalki-and Noyon.
