American Homes.

Before I came to America I fancied that l should find one long row of apartment houses extending from New York to San Francisco, some of them palatial, but tawdry, others lowly and some squalid. This idea was partially formed from reading in your own jour- nals of your lack of home life as conn pared with our preponderance of it in England. On the contrary, I found ill the localities I visited much that we can learn from you Americans of hOmemaking and of home living. The amazing thing to me is what your wo. men accomplish in the actual building of their homes, and that. too, with small means.-Lady Inez Stuart in Countryside Magazine

The Dairy as a Temple.

The people called the Todas, living in the Nilgiri bills, India, have a curi- ous religious ritual evolved out of the ordinary operations of the dairy. The priest is the dairyman, and the temple is the dairy. Only the milk of the sa- cred buffalo is churned in the dairy temple. The milk of buffaloes that are not sacred is churned in the front part of the huts in which the people live. The dairy temples are of differ ent degrees of sanctity, corresponding to the different degrees of sanctity of the buffaloes tended in each. Even the vessels used in dairy temple vary in sanctity, those that contain the milk being more sacred than those that only receive the products of the churning.
