Detroit Tribune.


A very useful and pretty thing to have
where baby is concerned is what is COM
monty called ''cozy." 1t is a soft little
quilt to throw over the child when taking
its morning nap. Take two squares of
cheese-clOth, pale pink, delicate blue or
white of the desired size lone yard and
quarter we think good size for little chill
dren) Spread one piece of the cheese-cloth
out fat on the table, and place layer of
cotton batting over it, basting smoothly
together. Then spread the remaining piece
of cheese-cloth over the top, also basting it
smoothly Next take needle containing
a long end of zephyr and run it from top to
bottom. leaving an end of zephyr loose,
about three inches long Take a stitch on
tn. under side an inch long. then push the
needle through to the top again. Cut the
thread of zephyr off. leaving an end the
same length as the first end. Tie these two
together in n knot. then in a bow. This
makes a little tuft-like bow. and they
should be tied at certain given distances
all over the "cozy" The edges may be FIN
ished by being turned in and button-hole
stitched. A ''cozy" made of white, tufted
with pink or blue. is pretty. or one made of
pink cheese-cloth and tufted with blue is
also dainty. When it becomes soiled the
ZEPHYR NAV be cut, the cheese-cloth taken
apart and washed. then put toget Their again
and brighted with fresh zephyr. In this
way the cotton batting keeps smooth and
win last till the ''cozy" Is entirely worn
out.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT DECISION.

The electric light decision of Justice
Bradley. which was made public yesterday
gives the first round of the contest very de-
cidedly against the Westinghouse interest.
Ofcourse, the case will go to the Supreme
Court, and may possibly be reversed there.
But the authority of Justice Bradley in
such cases is high enough to furnish a
probability that the claim of the Sawyer
Mann patent will not be upheld.
Beside the uncertainty of appealed litiga-
ton, there is also the question what the
effect will be if the ruling is affirmed. The
representatives of the Westinghouse in
terests say that it leaves open the manufact-
ure of incandescent lamps with ibrous
carbon flaments to everyone. This
would be very satisfactory to the
public as indicating a decided
cheapening IN the cost of lamps and prob
able reduction in the cost OF electric light
ing. But the decision does not make it
quite certain that this is the case. 1t de-
cides that the Sawyer-Mann patent is not
valid; but it does not say that some other
patent either is or is not. The Court refers
to it as supposed to be the discovery of
Edison" but adds that it may be the dis
covery of some other person.
The practical effect OF the decision will,
of course, be that the carbon filaments will
be manufactured under competition, until
the claim is set up in the courts under Edi-
sons or some other patent If there is no
such valid claim we may look for near ap-
proach to an era OF cheap electric lighting.

THE CHANGE OF MOVING DAY,

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen the
copy of circular and agreement to be cir
culated among owners of houses and real
estate agents for the changing of leases to
expire on May /, instead of A pril / as here
tofore. So much has been said of this change
that it is hardly necessary to repeat the ar
guments in its favor here. The old custom
Of terminating leases on April / probably
had its origin in the early days, when that
date was necessary in order to let farmers
plant their crops and smaller tenants their
gardens; but it is entirely antiquated and
out of date now. The advantages of a
change from an inelement season to one
which is likely to be pleasant are so obvious
that it should secure universal support. We
hope that landlords generally will sign the
agreement and secure the beneficial and in
expensive reform.
