Japanese Interiors.

The houses that the Japanese women
occupy are, 1t goes without saying, as
neatly and wondrously fashioned as
themselves; almost always full OF sur
prises, with movable panels, with boxes
and slides, with compartments OF all
shapes and astonishing little closets.
Everything is scrupulously clean, even
among the humblest, and Of apparent
simplicity, especially among the richest.
Alone the altar of the ancestors, where
sticks of incense burn, is gilded, lac
quered and garnished like pagoda with
vases and lanterns. Everywhere else q
purposed bareness-a baroness all the
more complete and white II the dwelling
pretends to elegance No embroidered
tapestries; sometimes transparent por-
there's, made OF strung beads and BAN
boo. And never any furniture: 1t is on
the floor or on little lacquer pedestals
that necessary objects or vases Of flowers
are placed.
To the mistress of the house luxury
consists In the very excess of that clean
illness of which spoke above, and which
is one OF the incontestable qualities OF
the japanese people. 1t is everywhere
the custom to unshoe before entering a
house, and nothing equals the witness
OF those mats, upon which one never
walks without fine socks with divided
toes. The woodwork itself is white,
neither painted nor vanished, keeping
as its sole ornamentation, among women

Bookkeeping should have more atten-
ton from farmers, says an exchange. In
locating tho apiary select some cool,
shady, quiet spot. The hives should
never be placed against the side OF a
building, or close to fence. but there
should always be room to stand upon
either side of them while working. The
south side of building is also an objcc-
tionable place, because it is liable-from
the intense reflected heat OF tho sun-to
give them the swarming fever. Also
avoid placing the bees where cattle or
horses constantly pass, as the overturn-
ing of hive by the animals might pro-
duce serious results. The orchard is a
good place for bees, or an apiary and
vineyard may be combined by placing
the hives at a good distance apart and
planting a grape vine beside each. Do
not fear that the bees will spoil the fruit
for IL is well-settled fact that they will
not puncture grape in order to get at
its juices, but will only feed upon It after
the birds have first taken a bite. Bees
are not at all destructive, aud they are
especially valuable because they gather
up ard store away that which would be
wholly lost II 1t were not that they cay
utilize it.-FdrmerS' Repiclo

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Laundry Work.

One of the most troublesome things,
especially for the woman who boards. is
to find laundress who will do her work
properly. Fine undergarments do not
require to be rubbed heavily. They are
best rubbed through the hands, rather
than on the board. 1t is exceedingly
difficult to get the ordinary laundress to
understand how to wash such garments.
The unskilled hand may tear holes in the
sheer lawn and ruin the garment In the
first washing. Above all things the
laundress should be cautioned against
the use of starch in all garments except
petticoat Some laundresses have a
fatal fancy for the use of starch in all
kinds of underwear. Never allow a
laundress to wiring garments by hand.
The wringer does the work with less
wear and tear than any hand-wringing.
Where silk underwear is worn, 1t should
be washed quickly and rapidly, with
some kind of white soap. in warm
water, thoroughly rinsed, wiring as
dry as possible, and pressed out before
it is thoroughly dry. Flannels should
be washed in exactly the same way, ex-
cept that caro- should be taken to keep
the water at the same temperature as
the room.-GOOd Housekeeping.

Vinegar Cline.

A few months since we had occasion
to use some glue, and attempted to
make the liquid glue by the easiest and

casional shaking, they dissolved, form

THE APIARY



Whoever has kept bees has counted as

ness that Of making them take to their
new homes naturally. After most per-
sistent efforts and often pain from bee
stings the swarm will often fly away to
some hollow tree and be lost A New
York man is said TO have invented O self
hiver. When the swarm leaves the hive
it is arranged so that it must pass
through perforated zinc cages, with holes
large enough to pass the workers but
not the queen or drones. The cage Is
connected with passage to an empty
hive near the one from which the swarm
issues, and into which the queen bee
soon makes her way, accompanied by a
few workers who never leave her. When
the swarm finds 1t has no queen 1t re-
turns and makes its way readily into the
new hive, and the job is done, while the
first knowledge the bee keeper has Of the
swarm is seeing IL at work in its new
home. The self-hiver can be easily at
