FASHION often dictates methods of
dress for children that are worse than
nudity. 1t represents a rlchly-dressed
woman and her equally richly-dresSed
little girl, the latter buying a toy from
a poor child who is earning IA little
money by street selling. Despite the
great difference in the social condition
of the two children, it Is open to doubt
which is the better clad for health. The
rich one is amply clothed as far down as
the knees; there is even fur upon her
outer garments at places where it can
be of no use. The knees and legs are
exposed, being covered with stockings
of silk, which may cover something
additional; the foot and ankle are en-
cased in thin boots, seemingly too tight
to admit free circulation of the blood.
The O child has the loose wooden
soled shoe with upper of thick wooden
material often worn by the poorer Ger
mans. Her ankles are protected by
wooden stockings only; but Ter coarse
long skirt comes almost to the shoes as
she sits, and would quite reach them If
she stood. Her head, shoulders, and
chest are wrapped in a warm shawl. If
there is anything to choose as to judic-
iousness of clothing the advantage lies
with the poor child. If her ankles
were covered she would be evenly pro-
tected from head to foot. The parents
of the rich child have without excuse
exposed the knee-a vulnerable point
and the calf, and have so cramped the
foot and ankle by Its insufficient cover
ing as to destroy the value of the shoe
as a protection, thus at once violating
two cardinal principles of dress from
the point of view of bealth-namely,
that it shall be uniform in its protection
and free from tight pressure.

THERE are no articles Of furniture
In a room more conspicuous than its
! doors. or more difficulty to keep out Of
sight. excepting, Of course shading
doors that are never closed. We might
indeed. do them up in brown linen
warmers with red tape trimmings, as
tidy housekeepers sometimesse serve their
piano legs when they are too ugly to be
exposed; and the chairs, when the up
hoisterv has become faded and shabby
--but such a ~broadside Of canvas or
! cambria would be worse than the native
pine. That beautiful designs, rare and
| elegant materials, should be lavished on
| chimney pieces, book cases, cabinets
| and other stationary furniture, leaving
| the doors in the stiff and formal ugli-
ness of common machlne-made shop
| work, is among the unaccountable in
consistencles Of house building. We
do. indeed. sometimes see the outside
of the entrance doors to a ~protentious
house laden with ornaments hung on at
all available points, and this is the very
situation where they should be avoid
ed. The main entrance may properly
be distinguished from the rest of the
outside finish by finer workmanship and
richer materials; but it should not hold
| out promises of elegance which the in.
terror fails to fulil-like a rich and ar
tlstic cover on a volume of cheap wood
cuts and literary trash. The rule that
the front hall should strike the key note
of the rest of the house does not apply
to the outside of the front door.
ICED DRINKS IN DYsPEPsIA.-And
now a few words as to the beverage to
be taken. Americans are q dyspeptlc
people; they drink much iced water at
meals; ergo iced drinks at meal times
are bad. They may be, when carried
to excess; this is not denied. But iced
drinks are not the cause of the WIDE
spread dyspepsia in the United States.
There are other potent factoas in action.
Iced drinks are very grateful to the
thirsty, but too much indulgence there
in produces a torturing thirst, as the
person who INDUCES in eating sno in
the arctic region discovers quickly. Just
as s~nowballing causes the hands first to
feel cold and then to glow with heat if
continued; so.the constant application
of an iced fluid to the fauces, at first
grateful, becomes a source of intense
discomfort; for the blood vessels are
first contracted and ultimately para
Iyzed, and then the fauces glow with
warm blood, like the skin of the snow
baller's hands. Iced fluids are not de-
sirable for dyspeptics, to say the least
of it. Ordinarily at dinner the ice pud-
ding is followed by a glass of liquor
''to correct it," A certain temperature
IS requisite for digestion. and too much
cold is undesirable.

BOILING MILK.-The souring of
milk is caused by the change of the
sugar Of milk into Tactic acid. Now.
if milk be put into bottles which, after
being well corked, are placed in a pan
with cold water, and gradually rising
to the boiling point, and, after being
allowed to cool, be taken out and kept
IN a cool place, the milk will keep per-
fectly for more than half a year. If
the milk be exposed to the air after
boiling, the caseine gradually RECEIVERS
its power of converting sugar into Tactic
acid. In this case the boiling has to
be repeated every day or every second
day, and milk may thus be kept fresh
for two months or more. If access of
air be prevented, only one boiling, or,
rather, heating to the boiling point Is
required. The action Of caseinejn pro-
ducing Tactic acid may be rendered
very slow by a reduction of temper
allure. If milk be kept at a low tenn
perature-approaching freezing point,
for instance-it will not turn sour for
several days.
