Japan and China, where it is carved.
The wood is light in color, but it is some
times stained or dyed, and it is this kind
that we generally see in this country.
The open worked patterns are particu-
larly effective as doors and decorative
mantels. There are only two direct im-
porters of it in New York, although it is
to be had at many furniture dealers, who
receive it through the French markets in
small quantities. 1t may he interesting

Japanese Sacred Nuts.

a quantity Of japanese sacred nuts,
the first ever brought TO this country, has
lately been received At Broadway fruit
store. They are called sacred from the
fact that they are used in certain forms
Of Japanese worship. The nuts arc
placed on the altar and ignitcd, They
burn with blush flame and give OH q
peculiar odor They are rich in oil and
the fumes are supposed TO rise as incense
to the gods. They grow under water,
have leaf like pond lily, and are
shaped like a steers head, with two pro-
jecting horns. This resemblance is Sc
great that it is difficult TO believe that
they are not carved. In the raw state
they are hard and tasteless, but when
cooked they have the flavor of boiled
chestnuts. They retain their qualities
ten or fifteen years, and are fit for foot
when even twenty years old.-New Yorl

New Work for Young Women,

The very latest occupation for young
women who have been delicatcly reared,
but who are compelled by changes in tho
mill wheel of life to earn livelihood, is
to clean bric-a-brac in the great mansions
of New York. They are called bric-a-
brac cleaners, and have brushes made
expressly for their duties. Not every
young woman can become expert at tho
business. 1t requires a delicate touch,
the greatest care in handling the treas
ures, and the knowledge how tastcfully
TO arrange the dainty ornaments in n way
that is most pleasing to the owners. The
work is refined, and just such Fs re-
fined young woman would like.-New

Curious Things About Cooks


A very curious thing about the cooks
that they admit themselves is that man
who succeeds admirably in one house may
fail utterly in the next place he takes A
thousand Influences govern the matter
The cook may not be in sympathy With
his master or mistress They may. not
like what he thinks he is best at making.
or they may limit him in his expenses. or
treat him in way that makes him miser
able Then. again. cook may make a
great reputation in q restaurant and fail
in a private house That often happens.
although. of course. it is still more often
the case that chef trnined In. family ser
vice proves unable to meet the rush and
bulk Of the work in public house The
best cooks in town say that the prime
necessity for success with private families
is. not in the scientific knowledge Of a
cook half SO much as III his manners and
