The salary Of the chef is IS, 500 a year,
which, considering his skill and the con-
slant annoyance to which he is subjected
from the quarrels -engendered in 50 tropi-
cal an atmosphere. is not excessive.
There is no longer a doubt Of the danger
to the human family resulting from a use
of milk from COWS suffering from tuber-
culosis. The only safe method of proceed
ure is to get another COW or another milk
man. but one is often compelled TO use
milk from an unknown source, in which
case 1t should always be sterilized DR..
| Woodhead. a British authority, gives the
following practical directions for the do
| nestle treatment of milk when it is de-
sired to arrest souring, or when It may be
necessary TO make use of milk from a sus-
picious source.-ssN The quantity of milk
should never be more than the quantity of
cold water by which it rs surrounded; 1t IS
an advantage, in fact, to have a somewhat
larger bulk of water than of milk, TO al
low for evaporation. ~ The milk should
| not be covered in, and should be stirred
from time to time, but the water may
with advantage be covered, in order to
| prevent evaporation: this, of course, IS
| arranged for in special milk sterilizing
| pans. go The water should be boiled over
| a good, brisk flame, in order that the besl
| results may be obtained. and the heating
| process should be continued until the tenn
| perature throughout the milk has risen
from IS degrees C. $50 degrees F0 to % de-
grees C. Qs8 degrees FL; in most cases
this takes place at the end OF about TWEEN
ty-fve minutes, but in order TO be perfect
ly safe II may be recommended that every
quart of milk treated in this fashion
should be heated for half an hour that
is. for about twenty minutes after the
water in the outer pan has begun to boil.
1t lacks the picturesque possibilities of
the small girls Summer attire-that of
the small boy, but it has a certain sturdy
charm of its own Johnny in Jumpers
may not be so pretty as Fannie in frilled
aprons. but no one can doubt his emit
readiness for all the good times that
come his way. The heart of his mother
| takes comfort in him, for she realizes
| that guarded by denim or ticking against
| Sits and stains, her labors as a member
are 1essened.
There are two styles of Jumper IA
vored by fashion. One consists of trous-
ers set on a broad band and strapped
over the shoulders. The other comes in
two pieces-trousers n all-covering
blouse. Clad in this the small boys
white shirt waist and linen trousers are
protected against all injury, and he nay
be made ready to drive with mamma"
or walk with papa" at a minutes no

Knee pieces bear the same relation to
the stocking that jumpers do to the suit.
They protect the small boys hosiery at
its most valuable point. They are made
of soft black leather lined with padding.
They are shaped to fit the knee and are
tied on by strings.
Beat the yolk of two eggs very light
with one cup of crumbled cake, a half
cup Of sugar butter the size of a walnut
and a little rich cream. Flavor with
lemon or vanilla, then stir in two large
bananas cut in thin slices; pour the
mixture into a pie pan lined with good
paste and bake in a quick oven. While
it is baking peat the whites of the eggs
very light with a little rosewater and
three tablespoonful of powdered ugar.
Take out the pie, drop the meringue in
clots over the top of it and set back in the
wen until it is a pale brown.

The best sweeper for mating is not a
broom. but a brush, one with stiff, not
soft, bristles. This penetrates the meshes
OF the mating and removes the dust.

The cool cucumber now ~fourisheth in
the garden. The Goodness OF the cueum-
her has been a~scertained to be a scien-
title fact. 1t IS always considered cooler
than the surrounding atmosphere. i.
has also long possessed some reputation
as a cosmetic in the old meaning of the
word, a healer of the complexion, not
a 'beautiier."
The cream of ~cucunbers is prepared
from the pulp of peeled cucumber, with
a mixture of almond oil and other M
gradients. Purchase from a Trustworthy
druggist four ounces of almond oil, add
a quarter Of an ounce each of white wax
and of spermaceti.
Put the ingredients in a jar and set the
jar in a saucepan with warm water reach
ing up to within two inches of the rim.
Let the water boil. A marmalade jar is
just about the right size to use.
When the wax and s-pernaaceti are melt
ed into the oil add five tablespoonfuls of
the thick Juice of a large, nearly ripened
cucumber. Obtain the juice by pressing
the pulp on a fine hair sieve. Color the
cream with a few drops of spinach green.
Use enough to give a very delicate tint
Of green. Pour 1t to harden into several
small jars. 1t is an excellent cure for
sunburn and is very healing and soothing
to the skin.
Wash the skin at night thoroughly with
warm water before applying the cream.
Dry off all the moisture a soft damask
towel will absorb, and rub the cream Of
cucumbers gently into the skin. : In the
morning wash it off with warm water.
and tone the skin with a bath of cold
water to make the tissues firm.
