THE DISPENSARY IDEA
SPREADING.
A Bill to Establish DeMpennaries in
Connecticut by Local Option.
(From the Hartford Courant)
A bill has been introduced at mis session
for a local option "State dispensary" system
It opens three opportunities to the voter lu
each town?to vote license, no license or lor a
dispensary. The dispensary is to rnn noml
nally at State expense, although It Is expected
that It will prove a paying establishment
and not be a drain on any public treasury.
If atown votes for a dispensary, there shall
be no license granted there but the dispensary
commissioner shall proceed to establish
a dispensary there. There shall be only one
to a town ol less than 5,000 persons unless by
reason of namerous villages more are considered
advisable, and they shall beat least
a mile apart. All liquor sold shall tlrst be
analyzed and when sold it shall be for cash
at uniform prices In proportionate rates Irrespective
of quantity. No liquor is to be
drunk on the premises. The dispensary
commissioners is to have 82100 salary and
I iiO/.h OOrt Tho

are to be sold at prices that will pay cost and
an additional amount sufficient to pay sal
arles, rents and all other expenses and 10 per
cent on the money invented. Those advocation
the scheme ofler as an argument in Its
favor the following letter from the dispensary
manager at Raleigh. N. C.:
Raleigh, N. C., March 4.
Dear 81r: The dispensary law under
which we act is cap 288, laws of 1903. The
system does not stop the sale of liquor*.
But tbe amount of money spent for liquor
has been decreased by 50 per cent. Drunkness
has decreased 40 per cent. Revenue
has Increased COO per cent. This is not a
elerlcal error; It is 600 per cent, not 00 per
cent. There are a great many good people,
some cranks and ail whiskey people still opposed
to the dispensary Everyoody but '
those Interested in the sale by private license '
prefers the dispensary to tbe saloons.
Yours truly, 1
W. P. Batcnelor, Mansger. <
The scheme has unquestioned tnerll, but it I
is scarcely possible that so conservative a
State as ours will go into tbe liquor busl- ,
?m> ftnp iinftnthorlmfl forecast would be ,
that tbe "temperance'' advocates would ['
be tbe first to cry out against such a project
nd tbe liquor dealers a clofe second. Those
two Interests working together .would make (
a mighty strong opposition'. " ?

THE KITCHEN RANGE.
How 1o Economize on the Cue o
Coal?Building: Fires.
One of tlia most fruitful sources o:
household waste anil extravagance i:
the coal bin, and tons of fuel are use<

tame resnlts. Open drafts and a rang<
full to the covers of glowing coals no
only burn a needless amount of coal
but burn out .the range at the sami
time. A shovelful of coal or sufficien
to lightly cover the fire will accom
plish as much as a half scuttleful, ex
cepting in the increase of the coa
man's trade.
For a small range nut coal is best
for a large one, small egg coal. Re<
ash coal makes a hotter lire, witl
fewer cinders, than the white ash, ant
the latter burns more slowly. Foi
these reasons an equal mixture of tb<
two is a wise economy. The ashei
taken from the fire should never b<
thrown into the can until they ar<
sifted. The cinders thiis obtained cai
be used on the fire at times when th<
greatest heat is not needed. But the:
should always be added after the fresl
coal is well aglow.
A third of a cupful of kerosene witl
which to saturate the kindling anc
coal before putting it in the rang*
will facilitate the housemaid's, morn
ing work, whether or not the fire hni
been kept overnight. Kerosene sboulc
never, however, be poured directly int<
a stove, either from the cup or can

shovelful of coal. Many housekeeper
Insure their kitchens against acciden
from this cause by leaving a part of i
cupful of oil for the servant's use ant
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful of sugar will revise ai

maid is ignorant of the fact This ac
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance of the kitchen sugar sup

How to Slake Buckwheat Shortcake
Take two cupfuls of nice sour mill

How to Tell Age of Horses.
The popular idea that the age of i
horse can always be told by looking a
his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, li
not entirely correct After the eighti
year the horse has no more new teeth
so that the tooth method is useless fo
telling the age of a horse which is mori
than 8 years old. As soon as the set o
teeth is complete, however, a wrlnkli
begins to appear on the upper edge o
the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle ii
added each year, so that to get at thi
age of a horse over 8 years old yoi
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles
How to Broil Ham.

I remember one about come pe?ple who
had guerta invited to a grand dinner. The
table waa spread with allthe dishes, but
the meal had not yet been served. The
family had a great store' of beautiful glass
and china, and it was all on the table.
v.. - M.. I .1-1 .1 I . ? .11 mi
ju vi a iiiULUCJbi* aoic ?tu toum au wuiui
the dining room, and Just at that moment
til the people in the rest of the house
heard a deafening crash of falling dishes.
From the dining room there came the
Bound of glassware precipitated upon the
floor and crushing into fragments, and in
the midst of the roar of this wreck there
roao to the terrified ears of the host and
hostess the high, clear note of the smashing
of much thin china.
Everybody in the house?family, guests,
servants?rushed to the dining room door
at the same moment, expecting to see
nothing lees than the table overthrown
and every precious dish on it broken. And
what did they behold? The table set la
perfect order, with not a thing on it disturbed.
"What had made the awful crash?
Nobody ever'knew. Not a dlah was even
nicked in that house that day. The spirits,
bo the story ran to us, had just made a
terrible ghostly crash for the fun of it and
the alarm of the household.
I remember that this story impressed
mc a great deal more than it would have
impressed me if the dishes had really been
found smashed, though it could have been
proved that no human being had been In
the room at the time. I had never befon
heard of a ghost that was a crash and
nothing more. I fancy the astonishment
of those alleged people was not greatei
than that of a friend of mine over an eplgbde
not at all similar. This gentleman'!
wrlfA and daughter were out shown in it ona
afternoon, and he reached home ahead oi
them. So far from feeling grieved and
outraged at not finding them thera to
make him welcome, he set to work pleasantly
to give them a surprise by getting
them their supper. He hadn't much in
the house, but he set out what he had and
placed on each of three plates a nice lot oi
sardines and then went out to make them
tea. He got it mado and came back and
looked at his table in astonishment. Hii
supper was gone I Ti e plates were thew
just where he had placed them, but they
were as clean as when he put them on.
He knew that there was not another human
being in the house. What sprite had
wafted away those sardines?
This is a true story. There was not an
other human being In the house, but thi
gentleman owned two delightful oookei
spaniels, and they were in the house. Whs
can doubt that, as they licked the plate!
which had contained the sardines, they
had said to themselves: "Go to. We will
make it unnecessary for our dear master
to wash these plates?"?Boston Transcript.
Anthony Trollope'a Put.
Mr. Trollope's big voice drowned everj
one else as he chaffed my father down thl
length of tho dinner table. Ho had jested
over golf (John Blackwood was a devote!
and attained to being captain of the St
Andrew's club). What would he not da
next? He used to inake daring assault!
upon the most cherished articles of th!
Blackwood faith. Blind, unswerving devotion
to the sovereign was one of his favorite
points of attack.
"Now, Blackwood, how could Jrtie death
of the sovereign possibly affect youf" ha
would ray. ' 'If you heard of It tomorrow
morning, /ou know perfectly well you
would eat just as good a breakfast?yon
would not even deny yourself that second
kidney." It was in vain to protest that In
face of such a calamity the very thought
of teoiled kidneys would be distasteful.
Mr. Trollope bore everything before him
and prepared for another attack.
The Conservative party and Dizzy were
a tempting subject for a tit. "Youknow,
Blackwood?you know you think exaotly
about Dizzy as I do. You know you would
be very glad to hear he had been had up
for?for shoplifting." Tableau, all holding

My lady was as reckless as my lord and
