NVE’S RAMBLINGS.
.soMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN.- BY ONE
OF THEM.
A‘ perseveiing little city woman who
rebelled last year against the discom-
forts of boarding' in the country during
the summer months took a solemn vow
that this year would find'her settled in
asnmmer home of her own, if it was
nothing more than a tent in a cow pas-
sure.
And early in the spring she began
the search, which ended with a fairly
comfortable little cottage and consider—
able g1 ound. The rent was not ex-
orbitant, so she could afford an outlay
of money on the furnishings.
And. what a pretty little place it is!
It restsin a bower of green foliage and
has.‘ a veranda furnished for an out-
door parlor.
The; entire family spends every
pleasantohmor of the day in the air, be-
ginning with. breakfast and ending
with an old-fashibned tea, where every
thing IS cold except England’s favorite
beyerage. . -

large rocking chairs and a steamer

makes it serviceable fer meals, which,
with the exception of dinner, a 2
padlock aflair, are served there when
weather permits.
Inside there is .no spare 1001.1. In
fact; ifs-takes planning often to satis-
factorily dispbse of guests. The sit-
ting room and dining room are one
and the same, and in two of the bed-
rooms are'couch beds which can be
utilized when doubling up is necessary.
Theulbors are bare, the curtains are
of" muslin, the windows are screened,
some of them with mosquito netting
tacked upon the outside. It is both
cheap and satisfactory.
The furniture is plain, the decora-
tions simplepbut there is good closet
roan, and an open fireplace in the liv-
ing room which materially increases
the family comfort on stormy days.
Plenty of light sewing and more than
plenty of reading mltzer suited to the
time and place leave nothing to be de-
sired, and there, in that absolutely
restful spot, the little woman, three
«children and two guests are thorbughly
enjoying life.
Next week the masculine head of the
family will begin his two weeks’ vaca-
tion with. them, and great preparations
are being'made for his entertainment.
They seem to realize that a man will
mt be content with the monotonous
existence they have been enjoying for
the last four weeks.
So the grass plot around the house
has been, with the help of a farm
hand, transformed into a lawn, and a
nice new croquet set put in place.
For the game which Fashion put
upon the shelf years ago has been
taken down and smiled upon, and you
need no longer conceal your sneaking
fondness for the balls with their gay
Wipes and the mallets which fell into
disuse when tennis came upon the
surf.
Last season t was rumored that cro-
quet had been taken up by English
'aociety, but the wave of‘ popularity
never reached the Atlantic shores, and
we took up golf withlall the zeal of a
novelty and wore ourselves to bone
sated muscle in the search for the elusive
Title golf ball.

rut: About Japanese noble.
1 Japanese baby II not offered Ito
natural nourishment for three days.
And it. is not tucked dalntily up In
soft white blankets,- but set up in a tub
and covered with coarse, dark rugs.
The only relief it has during its infan-
or from its uncomIorta'ble position is
when it is put on its mother’s or some-
one else' 3 back inside their Clothes. and
taken out for an airing.
It Is claimed by the more enlightened
that this constant sitting position, or 1
being crowded against someone, with
shoulders thrown forward and chest
pressed in, Is one reason why Japanese
are so extremely narrow-chested. says
a. writer.
It is anything but pleasant to see a
two-year-OId strapped on the back of a. e
four-year-old with head (shaven, of
course), thrown over to one side, the
unhappy little victim fast asleep with
the hot sun streammg on. it, and flies
feasting on the dirt which is almost
invariably part of a Japanese baby’ 8
face.
A boy baby is the thing, and girls
are regarded with decided disfavor. All
preparations are much more elaborate
if the child is a. boy. At this seven~
day feast, fish, fruit, flowers. etc., are
also presented.
For seventy—five days the mother’s
food is very simple, principally rice.
very softly boiled. For twenty-one '
days no fatty fish is eaten. After the
seventy-five days the food is the same
as usual.
At the expiration of twenty-one days
the bed (thick rugs onthe floor) is re-
.moved, and again a feast is given.
Mother and baby enjoy their first
outing at thirty-three days, when a visit
is made to some temple. In some parts
of the country a cross is painted on the
Infant’s forehead at the time to ward
off evil spirits. The hair is shaven at
seven days, and in olden times was
kept so three years, but now it is al-
lowed to grow sooner.
Am—pntutlon by Machinery.
. A four-inch circular saw for the am~ '
putation of limbs has been installed at
the Emergency Hospital at Boston. .An
electric motor furnishes the power to
run the device. The saw is mounted
on a flexible Shaft like «that which a
dentist uses, only larger. The bearings,
in which runs-the saw arbor, are at-
tached to a handle by which the sur-
geon is able to direct the saw at any
angle. Dr. Galvin and his assistants
are able to save considerable time by
the nae of this appliance. Not only
does the saw out much faster than a.
hand tool, but the heat of its rapid cut-
ting sears the flesh and blood vessels,
and the healing processes of nature
are advanced to a stage which by the
old method is reached only after an
hour or two—Philadelphia. Record.
