An English physician has shown
why some people can digest milk read
lily and others cannot. He says: In the
digestive fluids of the stomach there
exists a special ferment by which the
flesh forming part Of the milk, the
cheese or caseine, is specially digested.
This ferment continues in action
throughout life In some persons, but
not In all; so that there are some
who Can diaest milk at all
times, and others who cannot
digest it at any time, in those
who too exclusively feed on flesh meat,
and starchy substances the particular
milk ferment ceases to be produced,
and the digestion of milk ceases to be a
natural act.

HOUSEHOLD

HANGING SHELVES. - Shelves or
some kind for holding books, papers,
etc., are always useful In the kitchen
or sitting room. Shelves fastened to
the walls are not as convenient as NOV
able ones. If you paper or whitewash
the o. they are in the way; to at the
paper neatly about them Is quite a job,
and only a skilful Whitewater can use
a brush around bracket shelves without
leaving streaks In the wash. A set OF
hanging shelves can be cheaply and
readily made. Take as many pieces OF
board as you want shelves of the width
and length desired. If there are two
windows on one side of the room, not
more than three feet apart, make the
shelves long enough to fill the waste
space between them. Paint the boards
or stain them to initiate walnut or oak,
or cover them smoothly with glazed
cambria, and tack a row of fringe about
the edge. If you wish the shelves nor
ornamental, make narrow lambrequins
to tack to the front of the shelves.
These can be made Of some dark cloth,
With bright flowers cut from c%retonne
ippltqued, fastening on with an en-
broidery stitch around the cut-out flow
sr. To fasten the shelves together,
procure some stout cord of a color 10
match the stain or covering of the
shelves. Before attaching the cord, cut
a piece of board as long as 1t is desired
to have the shelves apart. Place this
between the shelves while attaching
the cord, and it will hold the shelves
lust as far aDart "a desired. The cords
supporting the shelves should be strong
aud the nail or hook to which the
shelves are hung needs to be stout and
firmly driven into the wall. Let US
have more hanging shelves.
