The Use or Milk.
!)u. CsO-iii. of the Itcllevue Hospital,
pronounces milk nn article of diet which
til persons may me. unilcr all condition-.
There lire tlioic ho say that
the cannot take milk, that it male
them bilious, etc., but lie declircs that
lhi is not true. A person who is sick
may take milk v ith the greatest ossiblc
advantage, because it contains in the
form of assimilation, all the elements
eiseuti.il for maintaining nutrition.
It is the natural aliment of the young
animal, auil ri certainly answers a good
iiiiqo-c forthe old animal, "jiroided it
is used properly, and not poured into a
stomach already over Idled, as though
it had in itself no substance orrichnes-.
New milk, as he dors not hi -itato to
say, mil lie taken - as far as disease is
conei-raed in nearly every condition
I'crhaji- it will leijiuro t.lici addition of a
spoonful or two of lime-ualer.
'Ihe addition of a little salt often pre
vents the after feeling of fullness and
wind on the -loiiiich. which some com
plain of. If marked acidity of the
Mourich is present, then, perhaps a
little gentian may be requisite to stim
ulate the toiiivIi somewhat, and it
in iv be necessary to giie it in Miiall
iiaiitities, mid repeat it often, but ice--old
milk can bo put into a lerj irrita
ble 8to.iru.li, if giicn in small quanti
ties and at short intervals. with the
luppieit effect. It is u-cd in ca-c of
feicr, which formerly it was thought to
" feeil," and when scalded it li is a de
sirable effect in summer complaints.
ltul it -s an article of diet for peoplo
in health, and who wish to remain in
that happy condition, that milk should
be most appreciated. For tho midday
lunch of those whose heart meals
come at night, as for the supper of
tho-e w ho dine at noon, it is good.
The great uriety and excellent
duality of prepared cereals giie a wide
choice of food tiiu-c with milk, lire. id

It may be useful to remind tho public
that the new y stem of i-siiing money
orders has now come into operation,
l'ractically that system may be de
scribed as one which will enable eien
the jioorcst per-on to enjoy the luxury
of drawing a cheek for sm ill sums
without having a banking account. In
another scn-e it may be described a- a
scheme for lloating a paper currency
at the back of which is the guarantee
of money paid to the (lovernincnt for
the purpo-e of meeting that currency.
Henceforth, in-teid of billing money
orders in the old fashion one may go
to a po-t-ollice and pureha-e a kind of
printed check iRing jCl U-. foral
check, and, of cour-e, sin ill sum- pro
rata for amounts under a umd. This
instrument is negotiable and mav be
pas-ed from hand to hand, just like the
Scottish JL'l bank-note. Like it, loo, it
is only payable 011 demand to the bear
er, at a particular ollice specified on the
face of the document, but unlike it. it
is not paiable it any tune, in fact, it is
not paiable if presented three months
after the date of i-siie. 'Ihe new po-tal
order ha- another adianlago over the
Scottish bank-note It can be cros-cd
like a check, and made payable only
through the banker mentioned in the
"cro-sins." Altogether the scheme is
one which will giie the public greater
facilities for transmitting sin ill sums
of money than the haie yet enjoyed,
and perhaps render it possible for tho
post-oflice to work their money-order
organization with greater proht than
heretofore has been denied from it.
'Ihe only question that suggests itself
in connection with tho change is: Why
should the-e non orders not be pur
chasable as long as a branch post-office
is open for tran-acting bii-inc-s? 1 here
is a good rca-ou w h they should not
be paiable after a particular hour, but
there is absolute! no more reason why
the should not be -old on demand, at
any hour when busine-s is being done,
than whi stamps should not be similai
ly vended. We hoe that Mr. Fan celt
will be able to repeal the absurd rule
that limits the sale of the new orders to
certain specified hours of the day.

Hulwu depot is the abominable
nameusually guen in this country to a
railu ay station. In Kngland they gen
erally say railu ay; but some of their
companies aro It led railroad com
panies. In America the compound
most in use is railroad, but we haie the
Krie Itaduay Company and others of a
like name. How the dillerenee came
about it would be difficult to discolor:
but railu a is certainly right, and rail

A lonely shanty, which looks like a
lodge outside a garden of cucumbers, a
staging of a few planks upon which two
or three people stand like criminals on
the scallold to call such places depots
is the height of pretentious absurdity.

El tin woman who has been oblige 1
to spend half a da scleral times dur
ing the winter cleaning the mica m her
coal stoic, u-uill bk tikinj them out
and wa-liing in -oapsiids. will rejoice to
know that there is .1 much easier wai
to clean them, and that there is 110 need
to take them one or to let the lire bum
1 erv low in order to do it successfully.
Take a little linegar and water and
wash the mica carefully w itli a soft
cloth; the acid lcmoicsall stains, and
if a little pains is Liken to thoroughly
cleau the corners and to wipe them dry
the mica w ill look as good as new. If
ihe stoi c i- 1 ery hot tie the cloth to a
tick and so e-eape the danger of burn
ing your hind. It is a gieat care to
-cc that stoics are kept in proper or
ler. and not mam servants tan bo
IrJsted to do it as it should be done.
Ihe task might bu made somewhat
D.csier by choosing stoies which arc not
too highly ornamented; unless the
trimmings" are kept ab-olutely spot!cs.s
anil bright, which is a very difficult
thing to accomplish, they cannot lay
tlic lea-t claim to being ornamental; in
deed, a stoic which by reason of its e
ceive decoration is rendered the most
prominent feature of the room, de
manding the attention the moment one
sntcrs, is certainly in bad taste. A
:lean. well-polished stove, with grace
ful shape, w hich fulfills the end of its
being by heating the hou-e is all that a
,tove sliould be. The tire may be, as
it has been, called the soul of the room,
but it ought not to ask too much atten
