Many morals may be drawn from
tne text OF today's discourse. Let us
consider them in order:
First. 1t is human nature to ascribe
any change for the worse or better to
tne iast remedy or treatment en-
ployed; although the remedy or treat
ment blamed or extolled may have
nothing to do with the changed con-.
Goats milk is richer in fat than anv
other kind Of milk, and it is the fat
IN mix that produces any laxative ef-
tect. put goats milk is scarcely to be
considered a laxative food tor one
win chronic constipation. Most suf-
Ierers would probably note no DIFF
Ierent erect from goats milk than
tney 40 from cows milk. Cows milk
is neither laxative nor binding.
Secondly. many other factors are
more reasonably responsible for the
gain In weight than the use of goats
milk. The discovery Of the lung tu-
oerculosis probably led to some sort
OF treatment by rest. etc. which would
favor gain In weight. 1t is not rea-
sonable to imagine that any adult can
gain thirty-seven pounds in six
months by merely taking a pint or a
quart Of even goats milk daily, not
withstanding the fact that goats milk
is PROBABLY the most wholesome and
nutritious milk one can drink. The
goat is more nearly immune to tuber-
culosis than any other domestic anil
mai: some physicians have suggested
that goats milk may convey to the
tuberculous patient something that
tends to increase resistance to tu-
oefcle-toxin, but this is conjecture
merely.
1t may be that the open-air life
made possible or rather more attrac-

But they are all tendencies in the same

very fast for a long distance. Peter
knew that for a while he could dodge
Reddy in and around those clumps of
big ferns. but he also knew that soon
er or later Reddy would catch him at
that game. There was just one place
of safety for him, an old hollow log
on the farther side of the swamp. and
to get there he could waste no time
and strength lodging. 1t must be

all his speed and strength to get
there before Reddy could catch him.

young Heron that Peter was leading

ashamed of himself and put that

HOME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.
What Is Lace?

There is no certain evidence to
prove the existence of lace before the
sixteenth century. Ancient textile
decorations were all in the form of
embroidery or printing. Lace is not
an ornament upon a given back
ground: it is rather a fabric with
openwork ground. both ornament
and ground being made by the lace
maker.
After the crusades the rich princes
and mobiles of Europe encouraged the
development of many sorts of fine in
dustry based upon the age-old luxury
and artistic handiwork of the east.
with which their journey on the cru
sades had brought them into contact
for the first time. From linens en-
broidered as in the east, relieved by
open spaces left or shapes cut out.
rom the ground, there developed a
ut or drawn work which is not.
strictly speaking. lace. but which led
to lace. Our evidence of this is to be
found chiefly in French and Flemish
museum collections of late fifteenth
and early sixteenth century embroid-
cred linens.
Presently, instead of laboriously
drawing the threads from linen. the
grounds. called quintains, more and
more open until they came to be call
ed 'Iacis," really square nets. upon
which embroidery was done by darn
ing or running threads into a certain
number of meshes according to a
pattern. Next came the indented bor-
ders or edgings for these squares or
long bands made by sewing the
squares together, and we have a style
OF needlework which is not, like en-
broidery. wrought upon stiff
foundation. but is actually. itself an
ornamental fabric, a true lace. Books
of patterns for these insertions and
borders for the ruffs and cuffs of the
day were published in Italy as early
as 1880.

Peter lust Makes It.

Peter Rabbit.
Reddy Fox was hunting in the
swamp down by the Big River. Once
IN so often Reddy visited that swamp
occasionally he got a good meal down
there He had come down early this
morning because he happened to be
near there and he thought he might as
weH see what is to be SEEN Reddy Is
one of those who believe in being
thorough. He has learned that often
the best things are found where least
expected. He wouldn't be disappoint-
ed II he found nothing. and he would
have the satisfaction of knowing that
he hadn't missed something.
So he trotted along through the
swamp with eyes and ears and nose
all at work. He examined every old
stump and poked his nose into every
ciump of ferns along the way as if
very hungry. which he wasn't at all,
LOT these warm dTys there were
plenty of grasshoppers and he could
get stomach full any time.
Sunddenly. across little open space
ahead of him brown form darted
ipperty- y-Hpperty-lip. Reddy saw it
instantly To say that he was sur
prised would be putting it mildly.

The Old Gardener Says:
Make sure that no weeds

Make sure that no weeds go
to seed along the fence rows
or in uncultivated parts of your
garden plot. If you would be
careful about this every season,
your garden problems would be
minimized. This is a particu-
larly good time to kill the
weeds because they have less
stamina than in the early sum-
mer. OF course decayed weed
growth provides humus like
any other vegetation. Some peo-
pie let the weeds grow free
ly where the early crops came
off. and then dig them under.
It is not q bad practice if the
last operation is performed be-
fore the weeds make their
seeds.

the usual popular catching cold OBJ
session-by the move to California
from New York-contributed some
thing toward the gain in weight.
Thirdly, it is human nature with
a vengeance to tell the world" to
use the remedy or treatment 1 i'm
agine has helped, may help, or is
helping me. Our correspondent asks
In goats milk to friends who have
tuberculosis. She is not. Haven't her
friends physicians to consult? 1t is
cruelty to take that sort of vengeance.
If friends ask her opinion. advice or
experience with goats milk, she
know, but one swallow does not make

has made friend of this fair lady
is no reason why all her invalid
friends should get a goat
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Rusty Notions.
You maintain that no harm comes
from wound made by rusty nail,
In SO far as the rust is concerned,
but that any poisonous effect is to be
ascribed to germs that happen to be
on the nail, be it rusty or new.
suppose professors and doctors can
see these germs in the air which are in
visible to ordinary mortal eyes.
Answer.-You nearly understand. !
do not insist that the germs respon-
sible for blood poisoning after
wound by nail. bright or rusty. are
necessarily present on the nail; they
may be present in the dirt or on the
skin about the wounded surface. and
the nail may simply push them into
the wound. The germs are just as
visible to ordinary eyes as to the eyes
of professors or doctors-through a
microscope. There are none SO blind
in this matter as those who never
have had the opportunity Of looking
through a microscope at disease
germs.
