MARIGOLD VELVET ON A BLACK HAT. : Marigold yellow velvet, glowing in in- tensity, is twisted with a Spanish lace scarf of cream color around the crown of a black straw hat, This is the new shape of carriage hat, which comes quite low on the forehead and conse- quently shades the face. One black and one white and one yellow quill are curved about the crown. THE PHOTOGRAPH RING. A novelty in rings is the photograph ring. The face of the friend or rela- tive that one desires always to have near is photographed on crystal, and then painted, and the painting covered with gold foil for protection.

Of the hygienic and anatomical advan- tages. of the sandal for young children while the foot is growing there is no guestion. The pattern that has been sdopted for the sole is well in accord with the outlines of the foot, and the method of fastening by soft. easy straps around the angle allows free play for the joint. No one is higher autsority un the foot than Mr. T. W. Nunn, the consulting surgeon of the Middlesex Hospital, and he expressed emphatic wpprobation of the innovation. He points out that for comfort and well wing in walking it is necessary that the heel of the wearer shoyld remain per- fectly steady in the back of the shoe, snd that unless this is preserved, hold- ing the foot in the proper line (which is from the centre of the heel to the tentre of the great toe), “treading over” ind consequent abnormal strains occur, With the sandal this becomes impbssible. At the same time, he urges upon par- nts not to look upon the sandal as a cure for retraction (crumpling up) of the toes or many other of the seem- ingly small deformities of the feet, These are far less often due to boot- makers’ mistakes or merely local causes than to obscure after consequences of measles or other infantile complaints. London Telegraph. VISITING MILLINERS. In New York and Boston many girls and women go out trimming hats just as a seamstress would go out to sew and they have engagements for months in advance. They charge by the hour for their services, and make a good liv. ing. One woman who was left a widow, with her own way to make, took a course in millinery, Just as she com- pleted the course her teacher received a letter from a banker in one of the prosperous towns of the State saying there was an opening there for a good milliner, and asking her if she could send one. This woman went, and her shop soon paid for all the investment she had made. Graduates who take the complete course are prepared to teach if they choose. A new idea is for them to give lessons in homes, perhaps to a mother and daughters at the same time. They charge at a given rate a lesson, just as a music teacher or drawing teacher would, and after the first few pupils have been gained the rest is casy, for one tells another. The practical nature of this work and its constant demand commends it at once. The teacher believes that girls should be taught millinery as well as sewing, and she hopes that in time it he regular train ing of the schools, as sewing has been. —Chicago Record-Hercld, SKIRTS CLEAR THE GROUND, length” summer ! “walking this What a joy the have been to us the the ramble boating in in rocks or a morning's the of a on and the lustre of the binding How much the short skirt simplifies the duties of the girl without a dressing maid only she can tell.

Samples were taken of the whey from the vat, whey from the storage tank, and of cheese made at several dates on which the ropiness was well marked. “From all these samples | was able to separate out, in large amount, a large, spore bearing bacilius, together with some other bacterial forms. In the wheys the ba- cillus was present in very large num- bers, This bacillus was then introduced into pasteurized milk, and produced ripeness in it. We used this ropy milk as a starter, and made cheese. The whey developed marked ropiness, thus proving that we had succeeded in get- ting the cause of this condition, 1 have no doubt that it was through the whey tank this trovble was kept alive in the factory, The bacillus causing the trouble was a spore-bearer, and as such would be hard to destroy in washing out milk cans (in which contents of whey tanks were taken home by patrons), so that the factory was kept constantly seeded from the milk again. How the trouble originated, [ am quite unable 10 say, but that it was kept alive through the whey tank seems probable, and the fact was learned later that it was found in sev- eral patrons’ cans.” A similar trouble occurred in a Wis- consin factory, and it was found that cach patron had a barrel into which his share of whey was emptied. Some of these barrels had not been cleaned out for years, yet the patrons K took home this foul whey in their milk cans! ROTATION OF WHEAT CROPS.
