Plain canvas of some soft color or
some neutral tone is used for covering
walls by those who can afford it. Denim
is another fnbric used for the same pur
pose.
Textile fabrics are entirely unsuited
for any room but q drawing-room, mu-
sic-room, boudoir OF p~icture-room; they
would be most unhealthful for bed
rooms, or dining-rooms, or living rooms,
as they would 0bsorb every odor and be-
conlc intolorable-
The effect of suitable fabrics on the
wall is delightful. Tor example, what
could be moro resLful and suggestive
than n medium deep gray-green canvas
associated with dead-ivory effect wood
work and q picture rail of old ivory

NOTES ON

No consumptive person should be per-
mitted to work in COW stables or to milk
cows.
The flesh and milk Of stalled and
s~tall-confined cows is not wholesome;
4 large part of it il actually tuberculous.
Tubercle in kline IN adisease engendered
by confinement In close stables and
sheds.
People who value their horses also
should prohibit; consumptives from en-
tering their stables, - the expectora-
tions of consumptivee- are full of tu-
b~erculous materisl which, drying on
the floors, soon rises with the dust In
sweepings. This dust In fatal to man
and beast.
Tubercle is carried into the human
system very, very often by the milk of
tuberculous cows. There are other
ways, of course, of contracting con-
sumption, but this is q very common
way. Every person who does not own
lows and owners Of COWS who do not
keep them under sanitary conditions,
should be careful to use none but regu-
larly inspected milk that has been
tested properly.
If the meat consumed by human be-
ings was always the flesh Of sheep and
cattle allowed a large and free range Of
pasture, and the animals were killed
in a humane and scientific manner, so
that their blood would not become fe-
vered and poisonous from fright, man
kind would escape more than one-half
the maladies from which they now suf-
fer.-Ladies' World.

often to be seen. Such children were
called ~"tarans."
1t was considered, a sure sign Of ILL

the name was usually written on n slip
Of paper, which was handed to the Off

If the babe kept quiet during the
baptisimal ceremony, the gossips
mourned over it as destined to q short

Hence, to extort a cry, the women who
received it from the father would han
die it roughly or even pinch it.
Great care was taken that the bap-

long, but because the sufferers future
