FoAMING OF MILK.

A Canadian correspondent of the
Weekly Times writes rs follow:
May | suggest another possible ex-
planation OF the fact thnt milk, on be-
ing drawn i'll cold weather, does not
foam.
Either on account of some attrac-
ton cxertcd by tho descending milk
on tho air it passes through, or by
friction between the two, certain
amount of mir is dragged down with
it by the milk, much i'll the same way
That waterfall causes froth to gather
Mt its foot. Friction is most likely the
really efficient factor in producing the
result. 1t is by the grip that friction
gives the wind on the surface of the
sea that it is enabled against the power
of gravitation to lift up the mighty
waves, rs is evidenced by the effect
that tho thinest imaginable coating of
oil upon its surface has in causing the
waves TO settle down again.
But i'll winter time, when the diff
ference between the temperature of
the milk and the air is SO great that
the milk, rs it leaves the teat, becomes
cnveloped by the steam thrown of
from it, it seems reasonably clear that
the friction that would otherwise be
accustomed by the passage of the mill,
through the mir must of necessity be
entirely done away with, the conse-
quencc being that tho milk no longer
is able to draw the mir down with it.

nuBEhLroN AGAINST oHApEnoN,Gr.

The rumor that young women in
England are rebelling against chaper-
onnge is confirmed by the testimony
of IL young English woman Of rank,
Lady Kathleen CUTIE, who airs her dis
content, and 1 do not know that of
how many other young women, in the
Nineteenth Century. What the young
woman wants first of all, we are told,
is tho abolition Of the chaperono on
NIL possible occasions. She considers
it hard that she cnnuot walk the length
of two, three, or even five or six
streets to visit friend without first
having provided herself with nm I'M
happy maid or mn attendant of some
description, presumably to prevent
her from losing herself or getting run
over. Or if tho friend she wishes to
visit lives Mt greater distance, she is
not considered capable, without the
aforesaid chnperonc, of driving quiet

Tirht.Flltinr Clothes.

1t is to be regretted that, in his cx-

The first and main object of wearing
clothes is to protect tho body-to keep
it warm in cold weather and cool 10
hot weather. Mere personal adorn.
ment was originally secondary consid,
GRAFTON. Clothes act in virtue of be
ing bad conductors of heat and so pre-.
venting the too quick passage of heat
to or from the body. Different kinds
of materials are cfficacious according
to the slowness or quicl1ncss with
which they allow the conduction Of
heat. Wooden materials are best (hence
the value of wooden underclothing,
which tends to maintain very equa-
bic temperature of the body-so that
we are better able to withstand sud-
den changes of weather, draughts,
etc., and an order of comparative
merit through furs, silk and cotton to
linen might be drawn up.
The more loosely clothing fits, the
less it conducts heat, because n layer
of air is interposed between it aud the
body-aud air is an exceedingly bad
conductor of hent. This protecting
layer of mir enables the body. in winter
to keep its normal temperature the
moro easily, because the heat given
off at the surface of the body passes
slowly through it; whereas, if the
clothing fit too closely to the skin,
heat is dissipated with much greater
rapidity. In summer time, on tbs

case. Therefore, we see that in hot

clothing defeats the first mud great
object of wearing clothes and tends to
exhaust the bodily strength and make
it unfit for work.

WASHING coIonEp coroSs.

+ Dark colored cottons should be
washed very carefully to obtain the
best results. The water should be
warm, but not hot, and should be pre-
pared expressly for the purpose, moth.
ing else having been washed in it.
Cottons, if white, leave lint, which
gathers on dark fabrics. Soap bark
is better than soap, and in any event
should be put into the water and never
applied directly to the fabric. 1t
should be rinscd i'll two waters, both
made warm and very dark with blue
ing. If starch is required, use corn
starch, and instead of water use coffee
freed from every suspicion of grounds.
Boil the starch we'll; if you will use
gum-arabic instead of the cornsts. ch
and dilute it with tho coffee you will
obtain even better results. Iron on
the wrong side with hot iron. By
the way, never undertake to wash
dark cottons except on clear, warm
day, when you can get the fabric dried
in few moments. Much depends on
the drying, and things that will come

GOOD BREAD.

In these days, when housel1eepers
are looking carefully into the mere
scientific preparations of food, it is an
acknowledged fact that bread grown
in the light, both sunlight or light OF
day, is more wholesome as an article
of food. You will find the yeast cake
you mention little slow in action,
and it may take longer than you wish
to follow the recipe for dry bread.
One point is that the yeast must be
moistened first. Now, suppose you
sponge your bread, say ut o'clock in
the morning. Your maid is up Mt 6 !;
let her take two cakes for each four
loaves of bread. She should put the
two cakes into warm bowl and pour
over half pint of warm water. In n
moment the cakes will soften; then
stir in five or six tablespoonful Of
flour, sufficient to make ssft batter
beat for moment, stand the bowl in
another of warm wnter and cover
towel over both, SO that the steam
will assist the growth Of the yeast
plant. Remember that all plants re-
quire warmth and moisture. Now, if
you make milk bread, have ready
Ncalded the quantity of milk. If water,
put the water into bowl, add salt AMI
sufficient flour to make bntter, which
beat thoroughly. Now, after the maid
has cooked the breakfast-and it will
take not more than half hour-she
will find the contents of the first bowl
light and fonmy. Turn this into the
sponge; give thorough mixing, and
stand aside in n warm place until it is
very light-about three hours Then
finish it precisely the Same rs you
would ordinary yeast bread. When
light, mold; when light again, bake.
