The ono Pound churn.

Included among the equipment
for the modern kitchen is a glass
butter ehurn a foot or SO in height
by means of which a pound OF but
ter may be made in a few minutes.
There would not seem to be much
of a demand for such an apparatus
In the city, where cream costs a
good ronnd sum- and butter, even
the highest priced, may be bought
cheaper than it could be made at
home in the ordinary household.
The greater demand is from the
suburbs, and this little butter MAX
er comes in very handy where one
cow is kept and there is more milk
and cream than the family requires
for table and culinaTy-use. Any
one can operate the machine, and
IN surprisingly short time pound
or SO of butter is produced. Then
in the case Of invalids or delicate
children fresh butter is occasionally
ordered by the. doctor, and this is
the means Of introducing the chnrn
into city homes. Altogether it is a
handy little invention.

THE RuMMAeE SALE.

There is serious disposition on
the part Of many sensible people,
including medical men, to make a
public war on the rurhmage sale. It
is claimed that it is menace to
health and a conveyer of Contagious
diseases. Last winter, says the New
York Evening Post, several of these
sales were held in Rochester and
were followed by a large number of
cases OF contagious diseases among
children. Some of these,it is said.
were traced to their source and were
found to have been Transmitted d.
rectly from garments purchased at
sale. The truth is that more
insanitary device was never iniaeg
med. The stuff sent to the average
rummage sale is usually rubbish,
much of it having been resurrected
from trash heaps or unused closets,
and is Of no real use to any one.
The danger of lurking germs is.yery
real, and it seems almost criminally
reckless to expose innocent children
to it. Women have become SO sensis
bic in their practice of good works
that the rummage sale appears like
an anachronism.

Cook the tongue very slowly in salt

IiInt % coal coneumern.

A Swedish professor, Svend Ar
rhenius, has evolved a new theory
Of the extinction of the human race.
lie holds that the combustion of
coal by civilized man is gradually
warming the atmosphere so that in
the course of a few cycles Of 10000
years the earth viii be baked in a
temperature close to the boiling
point. He bases his theory on the
accumulation of carbonic acid in the
atmosphere, which acts as glass in
concentrating and refracting tie

The illuminated screens of pega-

The; green, and brown shades, in
which they are usually developed,
make an especially attractive back
ground for the gold figure. The
figure is often herafdic design
about eight inches high and almost
as broad. One figure is placed in
each panel, and, far from seeming
bare, the surrounding plain space
sets off the illuminated design and
forms an effective background.

Bringing Up Babies.

There seem to be two ways of
bringing up babies-the old fash
toned way of taking babies up when
they cry and the new fashioned waq
of training them to be contented
lying in the crib. By this new fash
toned method a baby begins to be
trained when it is three weeks old
and it spends good deal of its time
crying for awhile. The old fash
ioned women do not like this new
tangled method of letting babies lie
and cry, and whenever it is prac-
ticed they hold Indignation meet
ings and raise Cain. The old fash
ioned women are getting more in
dignant every day over this bust
ness of training babies, and it is
beginning to look as if somebody is
sooner or later going to be mobbed.
The old fashioned women believe in
taking babies up and E.cuddling''

If the coarse salt and ice used to

in separate vessel and the mixture
then packed around the freezer can,
the result will be much better than
If put in layers without previous
mixing. 0ne-third salt is used to
two-thirds ice unless freezing a
frappe or mousse, which is mushy
rather than hard frozen. For this
use ice and salt half and half. When
the freezing compound is firmly
packed down without air spaces,
there is much less waste than if it
is put in carelessly. Another thing
to avoid is too rapid turning of the
freezer. 1t is the even grindstone
