Countr,- House Decoratton.

A good and at the same time mex
pensive mode of treating woodwork in
a country house is in transparent
wood stains, which can be had in any
color. These stains of pink or green
allow the grain of the wood to show,
and are less expensive than paint
since one coat of stain with finish of
varnish is all that is needed, while of
paint four coats are required. If later
a change is desired, it is an easy mat
ter to paint over the stain. Pine wood
or oak so treated gives an effect Of
lightneSs and luxury that is ver-- at
tractive, according to the Art Inter
change. In one country house the walls
of the rooms were hung with cheese
cloth in different shades of pink and
yellow to match the stained woodwork.
The curtains were of the same ma
terial, tied back with ribbons, and pro-
duced a simple effect that was greatly
liked. For hangings, however, or for
upholstery there is nothing more ser
viceable than denim. The divans and
pillows should be embroidered with
white to tighten the effect.

Chopping Knives.

A man who went into a wholesale
hardware establishment to ask about
something, saw there incidentally sam.
plies representing about thirty different
styles of chopping knives with two
blades. Two-bladed choPping knives
were new to him, but he learned upon
inquiry that they had been in use for
many years, and for that matter that
there were chopping knives made with
three blades.
Theoretically things can be chopped
uD twice as fast with a two-bladed
knife as with a one-bladed knife, and
perhaps they can be In fact, but for
some reason single-bladed chopping
knives are still preferred.
OF all the chOpping knives sold about
one-sixth are rwO-bladed knives, while
the number Of three-bladed chopping
knives sold is propQEt1onateIy less.

SeIf-Sucktng Cows.

Some time ago there was an inquiry
in your paper for some method to pre-
vent cows sucking themselves. take
a thin piece of board, something that
will not split very easily Il have used
a hard piece of sole-leather but that
gets soft in a short time and is no
good, and fix it as shown in the dia-
gram. Make the points smooth as pos
sible so that 1T will not make the nose
sore. When finished you will have to
use a little force TO spring 1t into the
nose, but When once properly fitted
think the COW will cease to suck her
self. I abhor a great clumsy yoke for
the poor cow to carry around; besides
it will make her neck sore.

If chopped meat be left to itself or

the action of bacteria, which find their

OF chopped meat is a source OF consid-
