A new fancy in the crazy quilt line
is to have in the exact center of the
quilt block of plain satin with the in
itials, in monogram or otherwise. of the
owner of the quilt. Another new de-
parture is to have each block the en-
bodiment of an idea, or at least to have
each block develop method in mad
ness. For example, let one have Ken
sington work in outline patterns only,
another needlework of different kind,
or applique, or painting. The founda-
ton of these blocks must necessarily be
of plain coiors in silk, satin or velvet

Value of Skinned milk.

The New York Herald reports that
recent investigations by the German
chemists alttbausen and J. Kong
have led TO important conclusions
They are to the Eject that the nut
ritive value of skinned milk is mucs
higher than ia generally supposed.
According to these authorities, the
price paid for the albuminoi Is in skim
med milk is lower than that paid flr
them in any of the ordinary foods in
the market, excepting stock fish. The
former chemist states that about two
quarts of this milk contain as much
heterogeneous matters as a pound of
meat, and the latter that given num-
Der of nutriilve unite of the milk cost
about "a per cent. less than pork and
still less than butter.
While further experiments may
somewhat modify these conclusions,
they are sufficiently accurate to show
than the popular prejudice against
skinned milk as unfounded, provided
the article is upadulterated. 1t is
known that the proportion of fatty
matter in unskimmed milk is not
ihOit WAL Htl tthhss anu VII no
Ingredient may be very necessary TO
make the milk suitable for the use of
children and an@mic persons, there ara
large classes of milk consumers who
can do as well or better without it.
The great difficulty with skinned
milk is hat of getting it pure and
undiluted But the same may be said
ofunskim nied milk.
IT however, the city authorities took
proper precautions to prevent the sale
of both when diluted and adultrated,
the cheaper article might be safely en-
ployed on large scale for purposes
for which the unekimmed article is
now used. Were this done, and cream
less milk more generally used, a very
considerable economy could be effected
by consumers, the amount of cream
left for the creameries would be so
much increased that we might hope
for cheaper butter, and with the reduc
ed demand in cities for unskimmed
milk the public would not have to pay
10 cents a quart for it.

Chinese Labor in Less Demand.
From the San Francisco Alta.

Chinese labor ia becoming 2ome
thing of q drug in the market. The
passage of the immigration act did
not have the anticipated effect of Civ
ing all the Chinese on American soil
steady work and high wages. Since
the check imposed on the supply of
Chinese labor, il has not become scarce
or valuable in the market, but owing
to number of causes that were hardly
expected there seems to be less demand
for it than ever before. Chinese are be
lug discharged from the mines, and
they fail to find employment when
they flock TO the city. 1t is said that
there are now more Of them walking
about unemployed in San Francisco
than ever before. A few weeks ago the
heaviest contractor on the Northern
Pacific stated in an interview at Port
land that ne did not consider Chinese
labor really cheap, and that he was salts
fed be could employ Scandinavians
wits more profit. The latest set back
received by the little brown man, land
one of the worst, is the announcement
that 0aderdonk, the contrs ctnr who is
building the western end OF the Cana
dian Pacific, after fair trial OF the
Chinese, has concluded to dispense
with them and employ white men, Of
whom he has already engaged 1000.
