The New York state grange thinks
that the state board of health has in
fiicted great injury on the diary in
terests by its injudicious and i'll ad-
vised crusade against bovine tubercu-
losis; and claims that the present in
| terest is kept alive by the professional
| agitation of interested seekers
The grange urges that power to deal
with the disease be taken from the
| state board Of health and the study OF
| tuberculosis for it's prevention and
cure, be placed in the hands of the ag-
| ricultural experiment stations.

The difficulties encountered in cut

without much labor and perplexity, by
Field superintendent Baker, who is a
practical ice cutter of long experience,
but think it will be found a very diff

But new difficulties will soon develop
themselves. The work hitherto has
been such as all experienced ice men
were used to. but when the jam is
reached the work becomes entirely

reasons First, it will be found impos

THE AFTERNOON AT HOME.
Information That Prevents an Agony OF
Uncertainty-A Delicate Intimatiop,

Ordinarily at an ''at home" especially
if large and crowded one, it is not need
full to take leave of the hostess on going
away. OF course, if she should happen to
be at hand, or conveniently accessible. a
guest would naturally make his or her
way to her side, say goodby and shake
hands, but if she is not within easy reach
no one would think of instituting hunt
for her through the rooms and insisting
on finding her to say farewell unless, in
deed, 1t should happen TO be the guests
first visit to the house. when more formal
ity is of necessity observed, and he or sho
would naturally say adieu.
When the crush has abated, and the
rooms are thinning, the last guests take
leave of their hostess, since there is no
difficulty in discovering her whereabouts.
and to leave her actual presence without
farewell would be distinct solecism.
Guests make their way to the hall and
request the servants to call up their vari-
Gus carriages in turn.
The afternoon lat home" is transitory
arrangement, and the guests are fieetng
things. From quarter Of an hour their
brief visits last, and the carriage is kept
waiting to take them on at once to some
oeiieI entertainments VI tlle same klnu,
which may be going on at the same hour.

Immediately forthcoming guests do not
return to the drawing room, but remain
either in the hall or the dining room till
they are able to get away
Ladies will find their wraps which they
may have removed awaiting them in the
cloakroom, where Il maid will be in attend
nnce to help them on with them
1t may just be noted, though no one in
society would require any such intimation,
that to offer gratuity to this maid or To
any servant at any kind of private enter
tainment would be breach of all social
usage and stamp the guest as a person to-
tally unaccustomed to the rules of good
breeding or good taste.
