In fact it is becoming quite a fad all over the world to drink buttermilk, The physicians recommend it, while its price is adjusted to the finances of the most unwealthy. In all hot climates it js drunk at meals and be tween meals, while now the northern cities of the United States have numerous wagons and stands along the street where buttermilk is sold by the glass, often as low as three cents a pint. The material that goes by this name, however, is not what in warm climates would be called the genuine article, There are several grades of buttermilk, The real, rich article comes from the churn that has but half done its duty and thereby left little lumps of butter and any quantity of cream glotules in the buttermilk. To this is sometimes added wu third of a Inss of rich cream, This makes a truly elicious drink. The next grade of but. termilk is the pure article, but taken her looks show glisten smooth sure she article sells readily on the streets and in | restaurants for three cents a glass on hot days. the sense of harmless and people, not exactly cranks but peculiar, it is though to be good. There is one point in selling butter. milk at which we wish to draw the line, and that 1s selling colored buttermilk. it is a good drink, wholesome, and taste We have known first-class establishments do this, and it is a great mistake, because there certainly is a bad taste about it. This color comes from the annato used in coloring the butter, which always, we believe, gives a reddish tinge to the but. termilk.

This should be tried. There is good common sense in the injunction to increase the feed gradually when preparing a cow for a test. A month is not too long for preparation, If too rapid increase is made, it is almost | certain to cause indigestion, of which the least bad effoct is waste of food.

The authorities are neither clear nor in harmony as regards the history of the handkerchief, known popularly in Eng lish as the pocket handkerchief, The etymology of the name is nevertheless sufficiently clear. The last syllable comes from the old French chief, meaning head; the syllable ‘ker’ is frem the French convier, to while the prefixes *‘hand” and “pocket” were applied when the article began to change its medimeval cover, use of head covering and became the aid to neatness and decency which it is at present, : The old Freuch name, couvre-chef, or chief, came over to England with a host of other French words after the conquest, and in time became *‘gerchief,” which is long since obsolete in America, though it may perhaps be still heard in parts of England. For long ages after the Cru sades even women of rank wore the ker chief, which, after many changes, became the modern hat or bonnet, But at what period it began to be carried in or the exterior hand-bag is uncertain. —Doll’s maker exactly in pocket Or Dress ec — How te Preve IL tbe wade ot ry slmnple reiteration.
