glass Jars in a spring house or on ice,

they are submerged in clean. cold water
to prevent caking and souring, and

For every aggravated cases of bilious
ness let the patient put himself on d
steady diet of buttermilk and bread OF
cereals for one week and he will be
amazed at the result.
OF course, care must be used not to
take too much, even of this plain food;
( fruit should not be eaten at the same
meal with buttermilk, but a moderate
amount of bread, crackers and a plain
not fried-rneats may be taken with per-
feet safety.
An appetizing and nutritious way 10
prepare buttermilk for table use is to
make buttermilk jelly.

Bnttermilk pie is far preferable to the
ordinary custard pie, being pleaseastiy
acid and more wholesome. 1t is pre-
pared like eustard, substituting butter

to each cupful a heaping teaspoonful
of corn starch. One egg to each pie is

A folding baby coach and a folding crib
which can be put in a trunk of ordinary
size are among the new inventions which

ed when travelling by the problem of how
to ship the baby's crib and coach. The
crib is made entirely Of metal straps and
bars so hinged and Joined that for pack

the two end frames are simply drawn

four long bars Of iron, both ends of which
are fastened to each end frame, holding
it as rigid as any regularly constructed
piece of furniture. To telescope. these
bars are removed and the remaining
pieces fold together without dismemDer-

ding consists Of a lazy long arrangement
swung on clamps from the sides or pne
crib. which telescopes with the rest OF the
crib when the ends are brought together.
The now fashionable .book-tea,' though
not scarcely a feast of reason, is a harm
less game, and scarcely deserves such a

be so completely identified with smart
society that to shirk it would mean the

appear to shine in the badges as a rule,
the most amusing I have heard of being a
