A Bowed Piano.

A new invention in musical instru-
ments has been brought out in Austria
by manufacturer living at Pressburg,
which is causing good deal of interest.
This is called bowed piano, but is really
a case resembling pianoforte frame and
containing six violins, two violas, and
two violoncellos, the strings of which are
tuned to different notes. The instru-
ments are connected by circular bands,
which are brought into contact with she
strings by means of the keyboard, the
hammers of which bear upon the bands
with varying pressure. The instrument
is said to produce fine tone, soft or
powerful; but the principal difficulty in
bringing it into practical use would be
the tuning of the gut strings required,
as wire strings could not be universally
employed, and it is to be feared it is only
likely to be musical curiosity COM

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
THE ART OF SWEEPING.

In sweeping take long, light strokes,
and do not use too heavy broom.
"Alice," said Lois, "do you honestly
think sweeping is harder exercise than
playing tennis"
l hesitated. ''I really don't know.
One never thinks of hard or easy in ten
pis, the game is so interesting; and then
it's outdoor exercise, and there's no dam
ger of inhaling dust"
"Well, for my part, F" said Marjorie, 81
like doing work that tells. There is so
much satisfaction in seeing the figures in
the carpet come out brightly under my
brooml Alice, what did you do to make
your reception-room so perfectly spler-
diferousa Girls, look here You'd think
this carpet had just come out of the
warehouse.
"Mother often tells Aunt Hetty,"
said I, ''to dip the end of the broom in
a pail of water in which she has poured
little ammonia teaspoonful to gall
Ion. The ammonia takes off the dust
and refreshes the colors wonderfully. We
couldn't keep house without it'll fin
ished, rather proudly.
''Did you bring some from home"
asked Marjorie, looking hurt.
"Why, of course not! l asked your
mother, and she gave me the bottle and
told me to take what 1 wanted"
ga little coarse salt or some damp tea
leaves strewed over carpet before
sweeping adds ease to the cleansing pro-
cess" said Mrs. Downing, appearing on
the scene and praising us for our thor
oughness. "The reason is that both the
salt and the tea leaves being moist keep
down the light floating dust, which gives
more trouble than the heavier dirt. But
now you will all be better for short
rest; so come into my little snuggery and
have a gossip and lunch, and then you
may attack the enemy again. "-Harper's
Young People.

PROTECTING TENDER ROSES.

Wait until the ground begins to freeze,
then peg down the branches of the tall
est plants, after which cover all with a
moderate light dressing of coarse stable
manure, if you can get it; if not, use
salt meadow hay or other coarse similar
material as protection. A very slight
covering will preserve the plants. The
main point to be observed is to have the
plants shaded, thereby preventing the
alternate freezing and thawlng during
the winter months. 1t is not so much
the low temperature that Injuries these
half f-hardy roses as the sudden and fire.
quent changes which occur when the
plants are fully exposed to the sun and
wind in winter. In the spring the plants
should be pruned and all dead and in
jured wood cut away, for it is upon the
new shoots of the season that the flowers
are produced, and not on the old wood.

Poor Lacemakers of Europe.

Valenciennes lace is manufactured in
Belgium. 1t is made on a lace pillow.
The pattern is pricked on revolving
cylinder and then pins are stuck in these
holes. The thread is wound on bobbins
and the lacemaker has to play them in
ana out among the pins. Valenciennes
lace brings from $25 to 5000 yard.
There is not much ostentations sabout 1t,
but it is an aristocratlc appearing lace,
modest and elegant. These lacemakers
can earn about twenty cents day for
their labor.
In the South of France is made the
torchon lace, which perhaps is more gen.
orally used than other lace material. 1t
is made like the Valenciennes on lace
pillow at little town called LIE Puy.
The women of this place make laces that
sell all the way from two cents to $5
yard. During the ordinary years of their
work they earn from four to six cents a
day, but once in while good fortune
strikes them. This is when there is a
popular demand for certain kind of
material, such as the yak or the guipure
lace, which are made on the same kind
of cushion as the torchon. When this
demand for these special hues comes they
may be able to earn by diligent work as
much as forty or sixty cents a day. But
such good luck is at the best spasmodic
and temporary.
The torchon lacemakers are poorer
than any of the rest. In the villages
throughout the mountains they are so de-
void of even the necessaries of life that
public ovens are built for their use.
Fires are lighted in these ovens about
once week as measure of economy,
and to them these lacemakers brings
their bread to be baked. Yet they are
cleanly in their habits and seem to enjoy
life quite as well as the more fortunate in
this world.
The English thread laces are made near
Devonshire in the south of England.
The old thread lacemakers are dying out
and their places are not being filed by
younger blood. AS q result the trade can
never get enough of these thread laces to
satisfy the demand.
The duchesse lace is another Belgium
product. In this kind of laces the fig
ures are made on pillows and then are
joined into patterns by the lacemakers
afterward. Duchess lace is sold from 81
to $50 yard Chicago Post.

The Watch as a Compass.

A few days ago was standing by an
American gentleman, when expressed a
wish to know which point was the North.
He at once pulled out his watch, looked
at it and pointed to the North. l asked
him whether he had compass attached
to his watch. ''All Watches" he re-
Piled, ssare compasses." Then he ex-
planned to me how this was. Point the
hour hand to the sun, and the South is
exactly halfway between the hour and
the figure XII. on the watch. For in
stance, suppose that it is four o'clock.
Point the hand indicating four to the
sun, and II. on the watch is exactly
South. Suppose that it is eight o'clock,
point the hand indicating eight to the
sun, and the figure X. on the watch is
due South. My American friend was
quite surprised that l did not know this.
Thinking that very possibly l was ig-
norant of thing that every one else
knew, and happening to meet Mr.. Stan
ley, 1 asked that eminent traveller
whether he was aware of this simple
mode of discovering the points of the
compass2 He said that he had never
heard of it. l presume, therefore, that

CAUSE OF sTRINGY MILK.

Stringy milk, thought to be caused by
dry feeding and the want of sufficient
water, is really due to some infammatory
condition of the COW. The feeding OF
plants and ANIMALS is alike in this, that
the food digested or utilized depends for
quantity upon the amount of water sup
Piled and by which it can be dissolved
or diluted. If COW is stinted in water
the whole system becomes disturbed and
an inf1ammatory condition is set up which
disturbs every vital organ, and especially
the udder. Fibrine is a product of in
Nammation, and when this appears in the
milk it forms stringy clots, which are
elected from the teats with difficulty.
1t is not that the milk is too thick be-
cause of deficiency of water in it. If
the system is short of water the milk will
decrease in quantity in even ratio. But
whenever the animal is diseased in any
way the milk glands in sympathy ecome
diseased, and necessarily the character Of
the milk is changed. Sufficient and
pure water is necessary for the health of
the COW. When the health suffers from
this cause the milk becomes impure, be-
cause In disease every secretion of the
system is diseased, and at this season the
water supply calls for more than usual
attention.-Ne0 York Times.
