WHERE NOAH GOT HIS PITCH.

Natural Spring Which Enabled Him to
Make the Ark Water Tight.
An English explorer has recently
reached Hit. in Syria, the locality in
which Noah dwelt. Here he found a
remarkable group of bitumen springs.
says the New York Journal.
From these springs, he says, it is
probable that Noah obtained his supply
of material to pitch it within and with
out" In basin, undoubtedly of vol
canic origin, spring of warm water
bubbles up, and with the water comes
the bitumen or pitch, in plastic form,
of the consistency of rather moist put
ty; and the Arabs gather it by simply
scraping it off the surface of the water
with their bare hands and pressing it
into panniers carried by patient little
donkeys, who then struggle up the
rocky sides of the basin and take the
material off to the bodybuilding yards,
where it is used for covering the boats
and gouphas, after undergoing cer-
tain refining process.
The bitumen is continually rising,
but owing to the formation of the basin
into which it rises with the stream
very little of it can escape, and it re-
mains fioa ting on the surface of the wa.
ter till taken off by the Arabs. The wa
ter itself tastes slightly of sulphur, is
quite warm and apparently charged
with some mineral which it deposits
in its rocky bed as it flows away
Through channels and crevices which
the bitumen cannot pass) from the
basin. coating it with lovely lilac
color, which further down the stream
becomes peacock" blue.

HANDY WINDOW SEAT.
Easily Made by Amateur Carpenters and
UphoIsterers.

Easily Made by Amateur Carpenters and
UphOlsterers.
A convenient window seat that may
be used as a shoebox or without the
pockets is an excellent place to keep
the separate waists which now abound,
either shirt waists or silk stuff ones.
1t can be made by the home carpenter if
she have any ingenuity and two or three
tools.
A box of the right length and width
10 fit in desired place can be got ct
fhe grocer's, and with a saw and screw
driver a cover cam be made and put on
with hinges. Then board to be screwed
on for a back to the seat can be shaped
quite easily by almost anyone, but the
corner carpenter is always ready to as
sist at small expense.
When the box is ready the cushioned
seat is first made by putting hair or

covering of denim with a valance of the

A Really Charming Novelty Is the April ed
Center Treatment.
One of the latest novelties for GIN
broidery work is the applied center
treatment when colored linen patch
is applied to the middle of centerpieces,
doilies, sofa-pillow covers and table
spreads.
Around the edge of a patch card is
buttonholed down and caught under
the cord on the stem of flowers and
leaves embroidered on the body linen.
1t is very effective scheme, and
some beautiful results can be had ii
care is taken with the needlework and
in blending the colors.
Two designs are shown in the illus
trations. Que for round centerpiece
and one for a square dolly to match in
general design.
The centerpieces can be made from
IL to "a inches in diameter with the
patch center just half the diameter.
The pattern on this piece is the maid
enhair fern. and it is to be worked i'll it's

same to cover the rest of the box. Green
denim has cool and pleasing effect, or
any shade that will harmonic with the
room where the seat will be used.
If it is desired to tuft the seat as an
additional finish, this may be done
with denim buttons to match in color
and fastening them through the cover
by passing the upholsterer's thread
through holes bored in the top board.
An effective combination is blue denim
upholstered with white buttons.-N. Y.

NEW FLOOR TREATMENT.
Paper Representing Grained Oak. Par
quetry or Tiles.

Paper Representing Grained YAK, Far
quetry or Tiles.
The last new thing in foor-coverina
p pa Der-that is, the floor is laid with
paper initiating or representing grained
oak. paIQuetry, tiles, mosaic pavement
or what hot. The process is as follows:
The floor is first smoothed, then two or
three layers of newspapers. saturated
with -four paste, are applied, made
smooth, and left to dry. Then the wall
oak being preferred-is glued down on
the substratum of newspapers, and.
after being sized, is vanished. The
chief recommendation of paper floor
ing is it's cheapness; for room not
used for much traffic it will answer a
purpose. 1t will not do if there is any
dampness about the floor.
Enameling is another novel process
for treating floors, but it differs from
papering in that it is rather expensive,
requiring as it does several coats of
paint, with vigorous intermediate rub
.bings down with very fine glass paper.
The ordinary enamels sold in the shops
are not to be recommended for this
purpose, as. from the nature of their
composition, they are apt to crack and
chip.
Ebonizing for floors can be easily
done by boiling log7wood chips in water
-one pound of chips TO one quart OF
water-til the liquid is well colored.
Apply this TO the floor eveEly and earc-
fully. giving Il second application 4 ~
boards ere close textured. When tls f.

centerpiece, but bearing buttonholed
scroll edge.
This is very effective edging if
nicely worked and filled in the solid
parts, and centerpiece treated in sim
liar manner would be very pleasing.
In combination with green fern leaves
bright pink edging would be in har-
mony, but if a white or cream edgiLg is
preferred it is always satisfactory fin
ish at the edge of fancy pieces.
For cotton table covers, sofa pillow
slips and pillow shams this treatment
of applied centers will be found very
attractive, as, for instance, white
cloth with pink. blue or green patch
and design carried out in the same
shade of linen as the applied patch.
What could be more pleasing than
centerpiece of white linen and pale
pink applied center and design OF
sweet peas worked in several del.ente
tones of pink and blue and the stems
and leaves in light green?
The possibilities of this echeme are
without limit. and while these susges-
lions are for the centerpiece and dollies
only il is possible to adapt this idea to
most any piece of embroidery work.
Portieres of blue domino having bor-
rworkedin white, with applied white
patches at stated intervals apart, would
result satisfactorily, and lambrequin
of whiteantique or butcher linen would
present an imposing appearance II

There is no feed better or cheaper for
bees than graduated sugar. 1t should
be thoroughly melted by adding little
water and brought to the boil. When
light feeding is desired 1t may be given
them in tight-bottom hives By pouring
little down in the corner of the hive in
the bottom. If heavy feeding is de-
sired the sirup may be poured into the
