THE DUTCH HOUSEWIFE.
Her Constant Desire for Cleanliness
Amounts Almost to
Craze.

The Dutch woman is before and
above all things a housewife. Indeed,
her love of home comes very near akin
TO worship and the greatest compii-
ment that can be paid to her is to praise
the neatness and sweetness of the
house that is her kingdom, says the
Girls Realm She is famous all the
world over for her remarkable cleanli"
ness. and even in the very poor quar-
tiers of the cities. where the houses are
small and crowded together, the win
dows are daintily decked with cur
tains of spotless white, the rooms well
swept and tidy. the humble furniture
carefully busted and polished.
This desire for cleanliness, in fact
almost amounts to craze, and house
wives and servants alike evince strong
partiality for scrubbing, cleaning and
washing. Even in well-to-do families
a domestic training is considered a nat
ural and necessary adjunct of the
daughters education, and each has GER
tain household duties apportioned to
her She is likewise taught to make
her own dresses. to knit her own stock
ings and to keep her wardrobe in re-
pair.
Nor does she shirk these duties. as it
is to be feared so many of her English
sisters do; on the contrary. they are
carried out faithfully, cheerfully and
as matter of course, and it is due to
this excellent training in her girlhood
DAYS that the Dutch woman makes so
model a housewife. We might GO fur
Their and say that it is through this
training that the Dutch girl has earned
the reputation of being 'free and light
of heart. and stranger TO the feeling
of ennui" since she is always health
fully and helpfully employed.

THE SCOTCH RUSHLIGHT.
In the Days of the Candle Tax 1t Was
Made ait Night in the Great
est Secrecy.

Home flashlights and
Scotch peasantry, says Good Words.
Boiled animal fat gave the required tai
low and the same green rushes as were
used for cruisie wick supplied it also in
this case.
In making flashlights all the green
coating of these rushes was stripped off;
but for candle wick thin strip was left
on either side of the pith to strengthen
and support it. Otherwise the manu-
facture of these two lights was very
similar. This substance from the
rushes. when dried. was tied to a rod
then dipped into the boiling fat and al
lowed to cool, and this process was re-
peated until the rushlight or candle,
had become the desired thickness. In
later years candles were made in molds.
The tape was passed through hole in
the center of the mold and knotted to
prevent it slipping, The fat was then
poured in and allowed to cool
These molds. during the days of the
candle tax, were jealousy guarded by
the owners, and hidden in the most
secret corners from the prying eyes of
the exciseman. The candles were usu-
ally made at night in some clubhouse,
and watchers were posted at convenient
corners TO give timely warning of any
approach of the ubiquitous officer.

A Japanese Girls Wedding.

Marriage in Japan is only civil con-
tract, and not in any way religious
one, writes Onoto Watanna in Ladies'
Home Journal. 1t is protected by law
and social obligations. The church and
state do not concern themselves at all
in marital affairs. The chief peculiar
ity about The ceremony is the exchang-
ing of cups of sake "a iquid) nine
times; three times the bride, three
times the groom. three times the mid
woman who works between the pair in
making the engagement. Toward the
end of the ceremony singer sings a
song called "Takasago," which narrates
the loving and happy life of an old
couple. Thus the ceremony closes, the
last notes of the singers beautiful mel
ody remaining in the air, charming all.
The last stage of girl life is over.

MATCHMAKING IN JAPAN.
The NakOda, or MidwOman, often
Employed to Awaken the Ten
der Passion.

There exists in Japan, among some of
the classes, a certain custom of hiring a
midwoman, nakoda, or professional
matchmaker, in order to make an en-
gagement between couple, writes
Onoto Watanna in the April Ladies'
Home Journal. 1t often happens that
a family will desire an alliance with an
other family with whom they are not
intimately acquainted. Then are the
services Of the professional match
maker invalua BILE To be successful in
such a profession one must never be
known as such to the family she de-
sires to court. Very often nakodas and
midwomen follow this profession for
years and yet are not known as such
save to those who have employed them.
Most of the matchmakers are very hon
est, and it is their duty to discover all
the good and bad points of the couple
and point them out TO the parents; they
give good advice and do everything pos
sible to promote the happiness of the
pair. They travel back and forth to the
homes of the young people. who are
entirely ignorant of their motive, car
rying compliments and presents and
trying in delicate manner to work on
their sentiment.

OUT OF TUNE.
fleets Pianos Sweetness
OF Tone.

The girl had a new piano. she was
musical girl. and it was as nice piano
as could be found. When she had it
properly set up and ready for use there
was probably not a happier girl. But
as she sat down to play look of dis
content and wonder spread over her
face. 1t was strange, but this new
piano was certainly out of tune; GER
tain notes sounded like the hammering
of a piece of iron. That would never
do; she couldn't play on piano like
that; she couldn't understand 1T, either,
for certainly thatpiano had very sweet
tone in the shop. So the piano man was
sent for in great haste, and came to see
what the trouble was, very much as
tonished himself He ran his fingers
over the piano and then, turning, gazed
curiously around the room.
THAT is a most curious and i'm
pertinent man." thought the girl, as
she watched him, his fingers moving.
over the keys, but his eyes wander
ing searchingly from one piece OF
furniture to another. Finally he LETT
the piano, went to stove in the room,
tucked piece of paper under one leg,
and went back to the piano, when,
strange to say, every note was as sweet
and clear and full as could have been
desired and there was not a suspicion
of discord. During the cold weather
stove had been placed in the room, and,
not standing evenly, with certain vi
brations of the piano it was made to
move and there followed a little clat-
tering of iron, which, coming stimuli
taneously with the striking of the keys
on the piano, sounded as if that instru-
ment had produced the disagreeable
sound
THAT is all right now" said the man
as he left the piano, only 1t was stove
man you needed instead of the piano
man."

AUGUST FLOWER.

1t is surprising fact, says Prof.
Houton, that in my travels in all parts
of the world, for the last ten years, l
have met more people having used Green's
August Flower that any oaher remedy,
for dyspepsia, deranged liver and stom-
ach, and for constipation. find for tour
lists and statesmen, or for persons filling
office positions, where headaches and
general bad feelings from irregular ha-
bits exist, that Green's August Flower
is grand remedy. 1t does not injure
the system by frequent use, and is excel
lent for sour stomachs and Indigestion.

OYSTERS and the Great Salt Lake.

The suggestion that oysters might be
cultivated at the mouths of streams
emptying into the Great Salt lake has
led 10 a careful examination by DR.. II
+. Moore. OF the United States fish COM
mission. The lake itself is too salt for
oysters, but it was thought that in bays
and arms where fresh water enters. the
salinity might be reduced to point
suitable for oysters, clans, crabs and
similar animals used for food. The in
Yestigation renders it doubtful if the
supply of fresh water is regular enough
for the purpose.--Youth's Companion.
