Boil MIX Before Using II.

There seems to be no doubt that the
milk of cows suffering from diphtharia
will com municate the disease to those
who drink it unless it be thoroughly
cooked. If this be 50 what must be
thought of those parents who, to save
themselves or their servants a little
trouble, will not be at the pains to IN
sist that all the mi k of the family shall
be boiled before it is used? Many pc o.
pie are under the impression that milk
boiled is milk spoiled. But if the milk
be boiled Immediately after it is re-
ceived from the milllnan and then al
lowed to cool before it is used Its flavor
is in no way iutertcrcd with. Milk
ought no more to be taken raw than
beef or pork 1t may be that the raw
milk which was universally used in the
country twenty years ago, and in double
or triple the quantities taken by town
folk had great deal to do with the in.

THE OLD HOUSE.

tpsssed tonight the old house standing lone
ly,
The windows closed, the rooms all dark and
drear,
Tho porch deserted, where my love. together
We sat in the old sweet days with one
near.
The autumn night wind bitterly was blowing,
The old trees on the roof their branches
trailed;
The long grass in the yard was waving sadly,
The tall white pillars in the moonlight paled.
All! love- like that old house. my heart is lone.
ly,
Since those glad times it has been closed and
cold,
Sweet memories now long dead arc buried in
Old thoughts old longings have never told.
But here tonight with this old house before
me,
There comes to me . fancy strange and
sweet:
Suppose those darksome rooms once more
were opened
How joyous would the old house ring with
laughter,
How gay the scene with youth and beauty
bright;
And though OUTSIDE the autumn wind is sigh.
ing,
The hearts within are beating gay and light.
So II to me you ever should return love,
Then you would open my DIRE ar heart again.
And with the light Of your sweet presence near
me,
Mylife would smile, forgetting years OF pain.

TABLE DECORATION.
The Uses of Silks and Linens-Oscar Wilde
Love of Green,


Love of Green.
Separate center cloths of linen with
decoration more or less elaborate in
fine needlework and drawn work are
still well used. The favorite design for
the center used at the ladies' lunch.
that apotheosis of daintiness in ia BILE
festivals, is in Dresden work. The tiny
flower sprays, like those on the china,
scattered careleSsly all over the piece
require great skill in manipulation and
execution and faultless taste in their
color ordinations.
These sprays are often copied from
old Dresden bits by ladies clever in
drawing their own designs and in shad-
ing the silks with which the designs are
carried out
Centers of heavy linen are very effect
i've for dinners when couched with gold
and with the background fsh-scaied
with white silk The couching is of the
heavy Japanese wash gold, which has
on the silken background the effect of
gold brocade. The hem is simply hem
stitched, or may be finished with a fall
of lace. Heavy or fine sheer linens,
sateens, silk and boiling cloth are all
used in the centerS, and newer than
either of these is silk material called
mail cloth, which is specially adapted
to center pieces because it is woven so
like hucl1a buck that darning it is a
simple matter. 1t is decorated with a
bold design. either outlined or couched,
a favorite color combination for which
is delicate green and white. Another
popular and pleasing center cloth de-
coration is that copied after the old
French fancics, where garlands or
sprays of many colorcd flowers are
caught and tied with bows of ribbon in
delicate blue or green or yellow.
1t was Oscar Wilde who first taught

of green was typical of the subtle

decision of its kind In the State. The
ployed In the worsted mill Of Simson g.

81 for wages earned and unpaid. The de-
PENDANTS set up the plea that the cut of
cloth upon which the plaintiff worked
contained forty-nine yards, and he had
male thirty-four mispicks. had carried a
backing thread on the face Of the cloth q
distance of ten yards aud leaving several
short threads out, making the price sale
able only as a second" entailing loss
to them of SIS.
The question was, IL a man Is hired and
set to work without the rules In force be-
ing read to him, whether he comes under
those rules, Judge Scott decided that the

ductions In wages when imperfcctions
are made in cloth so as to detract from
their marketable value.
In the absence OF any express agree
ment. the employe Is subject to existing
rules.
