Since the advent of the currant
worm these fine fruits have been much

is no substitute for them. For can

c1ncuMvENr1Na THE BEES.

The way to keep the bees away from
the trough where your horses drink is
to provide the bees with water else
where, for they need this liquid just
as much as horses and cattle. Make
one or more shallow wooden troughs
for the bees, and place them near the
hives, and then see that they are kept
full of clean water. Do this now, for
the bees select their drinking places
early in the spring, and if the water
does not fail them they will not seek
it elsewhere. If you will make two
troughs for the bees and in one put q
little salt in the water, SO much the
better, for bees are somewhat partial
to slightly salted or brackish water

We Get the Best Lemons.

Considerable information about
lemons, which are now coming into
tho market in large quantities, is con-
United States Consul to Catania, Sici-
ly, and published in the United States
consular reports for April. Lemons,
Mr.. Bruhl says, begin to ripen in Sep
tember, and are picked from Novem-
Der to April. The November crop is
the hardest and best. Tt will keep
until early summer, and is stored un-
til late in the spring, and then shipped.
The lemons are picked green, but
turn yellow in the boxes. Before the
fruit is shipped abroad it is taken out
of the boxes and repacked. That which
is bruised or specked and which would
probably rot in transit is either peeled
and the juice pressed out or cut up
with the peel in halves or quarters and
packed in barrels with brine (sea
water, generally, with some salt ad-
ded) and shipped to London or Liver
erpool for confectioners' use. The
best of the crop comes to this country.
The next best goes to England.
The small, greenish tinged lemons
that are sold here early in the fall are
secured as follows: The trees are al
lowed to suffer for water during the
summer months. About September l
plenty of water is given them, and the
soil around them is thoroughly culti-
waited. The trees put forth small
dwarfish flowers, which during the
following summer will bring forth the
small lemons that sell in this city fre-
quently twenty-five for quarter"
This crop is harvested in June and
July, and stands expectation even bet
ter than the choice November fruit.
There is no such practice as curing
lemons. They are gathered and packed
in boxes. After fifteen days they are
repacked and held until shipped.
Boxes of winter fruit hold about 300
lemons. while from $50 to 400 of the
smaller summer fruit is often packed
in one crate. New York Press.

TO REMOVE STAINS.

Table linen should be carefully
looked over before washing, as soap
sets stains. For fruit stains puts a
small teaspoonful of tartaric acid or
salts of lemon in q tablespoonful of
water. Stir until dissolved. Wet the
stain with it, and lay the linen in the
sun again. Most fruit t..ins, if taken
in season, can be easily removed from
linen by putting the stained portion
over bowl and pouring stream of
boiling hot water through it. But
when they are obstinate, acids have
to be used. For iron rust use lemon
juice thickened with equal quantities
Of salt, cornstarch and soft soap.
Spread this on the spots and lay the
linen on the grass in the sun. This is
one of the safest methods, as it does
not injure the fabric. Javelle water
is sometimes used when everything
else fails.-New York Advertiser.

SCREEN DOORS AND WINDOWS.

Screen doors and windows are a
blessing which the tidy houskeeper
can scarcely do without. BY their
proper adjustment and use but few
flies gain an entrance even to the
kitchen. Unless you are very handy
with tools it will prove cheaper to
purchase the screens of the desired
size already framed, and as matter
of durability, get those for the doors
that are provided!with corner irons, as
they will keep their form longer, and
provo more durable. For the lower
sash of windows those that can be adj
justed or removed each day are most
desirable.
At tho approach of winter both
door and window screens should be
cleaned and set away for use the fol-
lowing season, and after two years
use, if in IN exposed situation, the
wire portion should be repainted.
Thin, green paint gives the best ap-
pearance. Be careful that the paint
does not at some points remain and
cover the space between the wires.
Should it do SO, simply free the brush
from paint and push the end of it
through the screen ct the point OF
trouble: Doors frequently become
warped or do not shut closely. By
moving the catch or fastener up or
down they can sometimes be made
again to behave; if not, when putting
away for the winter place them SO
the refractory part will be held in the
desired position and by the following
season they will be all right.
In the absence of wire screens,
common mosquito netting may be
tackled to the lower portion of the
upper sash, and to the window sill
and sides, and will prove elective foI
one season, after which it should be
removed. This cloth is not desirable
for doors. New England Homestead.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
SOUP STOCK,

If soup is desired frequently, stock
for making it quickly can always be
on hand. With your meat cleaver,
cut up all the bones left from your
roasts and beefsteaks, and keep them
in a covered stone jar. When you
have sufficient, put them on and boil
for three hours; strain this into an
earthen vessel, and set aside to cool.
A thick top of grease will rise to the
surface, which can be taken off and
used for frying purposes. The meat
Juice beneath, which sometimes is a
thick jelly, can be diluted, if not
wanted strong. With the addition of
some cooked vegetables, soup can
readily be made from this. Boston

Poison plays an important part in
social relations in the Indian Punjab,
judging from a recent official report
which, for the year 1888, gives total
of 49S cases of homicide by poison and
23S cases of the poisoning of cattle.
Opium is the favorite means of sui
eide. When it is question of killing
some one else, arsenic and datura are
the preferred agents. For cattle
arsenic and the poisonous seeds of n
native plant are employed.

The OvernII INDUSTRY.

1t is stated that no one industry in this
city gives employment TO so many people
as does the manufacture OF shirts, pants,
overalls and the more common class Of
mems wearing apparel. In fact, there Is
but one place in the country where more
goods of this description are turned out
than at indianapolis. aud that is at st. Jo>
seph. Mo. In this city there are five large
concerns. Lewis Meier & Co. have in their
employ fully four hundred people. three
hundred of them using sewing machines.
The G.. Il. Cones IL Son Manufacturing
Company and the Harseim overall Manu-
featuring Company employ about the same
number of people. The Bailey Manufacture,
ing Company and Phillips & Pattison are
also large manufacturing concerns. the
business whole, it is stated. giving
employment TO at least 400 persons, most
of them using sewing machines for their
work AT the several establishments ii is
very interesting to go into room and see
two hundred sewing machines running from
shafting which is run by either steam or
electric power. Outside the establishment
there are large numbers OF families that
take home work and support their families
by il. a careful estimate makes il that
daily these manufactures turn out 100
dozen garments. the garments averaging
two and one-half yards each. which would
make $4,000 yards of the material cut up
into garments daily. The goods are now
sold very close, so sharp Is competition. IL
is only about ten years since this industry
became of any importance to indianapolis
and each year has shown an increase In
business. There is hardly State in the
Union that these establishments do not sell
goods in.

LIQUOR AND GAMBLING.
Both Were in Evidence Yesterday
Lively Crap Game.

The bad weather yesterday had depress-
ing influence on the saloon business. The
downtown saloons were open, however, the
same as on week days. ready. willing and
anxious to do business, as the lawyers
say, but customers were scarce. The few
men who struggled in during the afternoon
had no difficulty in getting the wherewithal
TO quench their thirst at Smiths, Irons
and other places on the 'ievee." il was
noticed that in some saloons where the
artidce of keeping blinds but half lowered,
in order to violate the law, has been re-
sorted to for the last five or six Sundays.
nothing of the kind was done yesterday,
and the saloons were really closed. There
were plenty OF saloons open, however-con-
siderably more than enough TO accommo-
date the few men who were ON the streets
walking about in the rain.
If the saloons in the downtown districts
did a small business, there were numbers
in the outer districts which did more bus
mess than usual owing TO the fact men
sought bars nearer home rather than go
down town. A good business was done at
some of the yirginia-avenue saloons. About
many others there were the usual indica-
tsons of illegal sales. Crowds of men could
be seen entering gates leading TO back
doors of saloons, and after a few moments
come out again.

who are connected with the enterprise are
men who are accustomed to carry out what

than go men will be employed, with com.

partially closed on account OF no demand

very little new building will be needed for
