GONGS FOR COUNTRY HOUSES
More Musical Than the OId-Time DIM
ner Bell to Summon the
Family Together.

In country houses it is becoming
more and more fashionable to use
chimes or gongs of some sort to sum-
mon the family at meal times. Often
the different members are scattered,
some on porches or out In the grounds
others in their rooms, and it is almost
impossible for a maid to announce
Dinner is served" to each one.
Many attractive chimes or gongs are
now provided which are both more
musical and less palpable than the old
time dinner bell. Most of these chimes
are of Japanese origin and are gener-
ally ornamental arrangement of gongs
and bells attached to rods or cords Of
board which can be hung.
A fascinating variation seen recent
Iy could be stood on buffet or on a
small table just inside the dining
door. 1t was a Chinese coolie in
bronze, about eight or ten inches high.
Over his shoulder he carried a rod to
one end of which was attached two
small gongs and to the other one large
one. A small striker was slipped
through the COOLIES belt, where it
was ever in readiness when wanted.

The Only Things Appropriate for the
Baby Dress with Its Hand
Embroidery.

If the baby dress is not made of the
finest of handkerchief linen French

chosen. These are the soft materials
soft as well as sheer
They are the materials on which
embroidery is done most successfully,
and the baby's dress de luxe is always
hand-embroidered There seems to
be little excuse for treating it any
other way. 1t may have on it the
merest touch of handwork-indeed,
scarcely more than few eyelets and
a tiny blossom and stem-and yet fol-
low the French idea.
1t may even then be the hand en-
broidered baby dress that has the
look and the sound that no other sort
of dress possesses. The little round

Use of Slips.

Corset covers and chemises are cut
low and lingerie waists are of the
sheerest materials. Wherefore some
sort of slip" is necessary as inter-
yening between the two. Slips conse-
ouently will be in great demand this
season. They are made of very strong
mousseline de sole. They have round
neck and half short sleeves when
bought ready-made N the shops. They
are perfectly plain. being finished at
neck and sleeves with a narrow hem.
The stores sell them by the dozen.
One girl, who is thin, wears these
slips under all her summer waists.
She finds that 1t gives her a much
better shape around the shoulders,
while the added warmth In hot
weather is hardly noticeable.

Keep Milk and Cream Separate.

Have separate house for the milk
and cream and cream separator.
Never keep any of them in the kitch-
en- when it can be helped, as the kitch-
en- is more or less full of odors from
cooking at all times, and milk and
cream both absorb doors very fast.
Carry hot water to the milkhouse to
wash milk utensils and the separator
rather than wash them in the kitchen.

points in sanitation will help the

May Order Tenements Torn Down.


The attorney general has given an
opinion to the governor upholding the
constitutionality of No. 683A, the
companion to the Estabrook tenement
house bill.
The Estabrook bill is already signed
and in effect, and this bill will prob
ably be acted on by the governor at
once.
The section to which the governor
particularly called attention relates
to the condemnation and destruction
of tenements, lodging and boarding
houses which have become delapi-
dated, decayed, impaired by age, fire,
or the elements or dangerous from
any cause, or has become infected
with disease, or has become liable to
produce disease by reason of the ac-
emulation of filth or other unsanitary
conditions, and is on account thereof
dangerous to life or limb or preju-
dicial to the public health"

SiIaqe Fed Cows,

The Borden milk condensaries re
fuse milk from cattle fed silage, but
other condensaries do not follow this
rule. A few boards of health" com.
posed of theorists, who knows nothing
of cows or silage either, have forbid
den its use from time to time; but all
of these, so far as we know, have
been compelled to reverse themselves.
There is nothing better for a cow in
milk than corn silage fed with a
proper ration of heterogeneous feeds and
hay. 1t saves both high-priced grains
and hay. Silage should be fed, like
some other good feeds, after milking
and not just before or while COWS are
being MIXED.
