new ones are making decided change
They are very attractive pieces OF fur
niture, for furniture they are. mostly
in the shape OF cabinet Of one kind
or another and the gong is very little
in evidence. 1t need only be one strip
of metal. One metal stretcher will
emit one tone, and to get the chime
tones, three and four strips are needed.
A leathercovered mallet accompanies
each gong cabinet, and when not in
use this is suspended from a little
hook designed for It.
The gong illustrated is built into the
end drawer of a serving table. Its
price is $21. In the sketch the gong
drawer is slightly opened, to show ex-
actly which drawer is meant. There
are two smaller drawers in the front,
which can be used for countless ar.
ticles required for serving. and the
table top is large enough to fill the
needs Of the ordinary serving table.
The door is only simulated, as the
space back Of 1t is utilized by the gong
drawer.-New York Tribune.

have the appearance Of being deli
cately faded like an exquisite piece OF
material that is half a century old.
To complete the antique appearance,
artificially whitened hair is becoming
increasingly popular. Indeed, 1t is easy
to understand a fad like this since
white hair is SO remarkably becoming
to all sorts Of women; a contrast of
black eyes and eyebrows, and snow.
white hair is almost startling. OF
course, in a case like this, the woman
who whitens her hair uses quantities
Of liquid white powder to give a snowy
appearance to her skin. The whole
head is not whitened, but only the
part around the face, which is liberal
ly treated with a specially prepared
powder. The coils of the hair and the
curls that form the couture are made
as dark as possible.
Certainly this seems to be a style
that is chiefly for brunettes, and
young ones at that White hair would
not give a particularly youthful ap-
pearance to a face that is already
showing signs Of age.

The newest is the coiffure-flat

big coil or pun at the back, and ex.

In greater detail-the hair is slight
ly waved, pulled back from the face
almost tightly, and rolled In on itself
in back-to be held by a curved comb
Of unusual size. Tiny curls lay fat

the ear. In more extreme styles, three
dangling ringlets, fall in front OF the
ear-somewhat like the old-time fun.

maids and ringlets, with shell COMBS
rising aloft.
One woman, q prominent actress, is
wearing her hair to show the tip top
Of the ear, instead of the lobe, as u.s.
ual. This allows her to pull her hair
away from broad forehead, yet leav-
ing 1t down around the cheek-an aid
to beauty, in case where the profile
is not perfect.
One woman, who is skilled in fash.
ionable hair dressing. draws the hair
to a Japanese like bun on top. and
thrusts long slim feather at the side,
the feather pointing forward, not back.
1t has a formidable, yet most original
appearance-ando originality seems to
be the chief aim these days.

nary sanitary precautions in handling
the milk. Have all utensils that come
in contact with the milk free from
rust, all seams soldered flush so that
dirt cannot lodge in them, for these
will furnlshe excellent places for gas
producing organisms to develop and
gain entrance into the milk. The
utensils should be scalded or steamed
after washing, especially where gas
producing organisms are known to be
in the water. The milk should be re-
moved from the barn Immediately,
and If 1t is to be held over night 1t
should be cooled to so degrees F.
The mornings milk can be placed in
the cheese vat at once and mixed with
the nights milk If desired, and the
whole heated to Sc degrees F. Now
the acidity of the milk is taken.
The acidity is best determined by
the Mann's acid test. This consists OF

GOOSE OIL FOR TOILET SOAP
Properly Perfumed, Il 10 Invaluable,
Especially II the Hands Are
chapped or Rough.

From four to six pounds of clear
goose oil comes from a goose while
roasting. This can be utilized In
making q delightful toilet soap. To
four pounds Of goose oil add two
pounds OF mutton fat, one can Of
potash, one quart of cold water, two
level tablespoonfuls Of salt. four level
tablespoonfuls of powdered borax and
five drops Of oil or rose. Melt the
goose and mutton fat and strain
through cheesecloth. Then measure,
using a large pail, and pour into a good
sized pan.
Add the water, salt and borax to the
potash and stir occasionally. When
cold and the potash is dissolved, pour
II in q fine stream into the fat, STIR
ring constantly. The fat should be
cold, but not thick Stir for ten min
utes, or until as thick as honey. Then
add the perfume and pour into shallow
pans lined with paper. Allow to stand
until firm. Remove from the pans and
cut into cakes. This Ii excellent for
chapped or rough hands.

phenolphthaloin a twenty-five cubic
centimeter burette graduated to a
tenth OF a cubic centimeter, an eight
cen cubic centimeter pipette, and a
porcelain cup. The burette is thor
oughly washed with water and then
rinsed out with small amount of So
dunn hydroxide solution (No. OLD.
The Ma OH is then placed in the bu'
rette and a small amount allowed to
run out so as to fill the portion be-
low the stop cock. The test is then
run as follows: A representative sam
pie OF milk is taken from The vat by
means OF a dipper. Eighteen cubic
centimeters Of the milk are then mea-
sured by means Of the pipette and
placed in the porcelain cup. Then a
few drops of the phenolphthalein So
luton are added. Now very slowly,
and with constant stirring Of the milk,
the sodium hydroxide solution Is
added drop by drop. AS soon as the
acid in the milk has been neutralized
the solution will turn pink and the
amount Of alkali used is recorded
This divided by two will give the pei
cent OF acidity in the milk.
Cheese color is now added at the
rate Of one ounce of color to one
thousand pounds Of milk. The milk
is then ready to be "set."

Perpendicular curd Cutter.

This process consists in adding rem
net to the milk. About four ounces
of rennet per one thousand pounds OF
milk are used, although this depends
upon the strength Of the rennet;
enough rennet should be added so that
the curd will be ready to cut in from
fifteen to twenty minutes. The rennet
Is diluted in about twenty times Its
bulk Of water Of about So degrees F.
and then added to the milk, which is
being stirred vigorously. After the
rennet Is added the milk Is stirred for
a few minutes and then removing the
stirring apparatus, the vat Is covered
with a cloth In order to keep the sur
face Of the milk from cooling off.
The curd is ready to cut when the
Index finger is inserted and the curd
bioken with the thumb, 1t will break
smooth, not jagged, or when the curd
will break clean from the side Of the
vat. Cutting consists In drawing
three-eiehths inch steel horizontal
curd knife lengthwise through the vat.
This cuts the curd in blankets. Then
cutting crosswise and lengthwise with,
five-sixteenths perpendicular knife
which will cut the curd In cubes which
should be constantly stirred in the
whey 30 that they win not mat. The
horizontal knife Is inserted at the end
Of the vat and to one side, extending
the knife over the edge Of the vat
enough so that the end viii reach the
bottom, using the part resting on the
vat as the fulcrum. Then It Is held
vertical and drawn the full length Of
the vat, turned In q semi-circle and
drawn back and forth until all Of the
curd is cut into blankets. The verh-
cal knife Is inserted In q similar man
