B. McChee, of Orange, Cal, has de
signed the fruit clipper which is Illus
trated herewith. 1t comprises pair
of blades pivoted together at one end
and provided with rings to attach the
clipper to the thumb and foretinger..
slight pressure with the thumb and fin
ger is sufficient to close the knives and,
sever the stem. 1t will be noticed that
the clipper allows the use of the hand
to catch the fruit the'moment the stem
Is severed, thus enabling it TO be gath
cred rapidly with one hand, while the
other Is used for drawing in the boughs
of trees or for holding receptacle. The
clipper could also probably be used to
advantage by florists in gathering their
flowers for market. BY adjusting the
position of the two rings the leverage
of the clipper can be increased at will
for severing large and small stemmed
fruits. 81
Polishing Floors.
Floors may be easily vanished and
waxed by delicate woman in this
way: Take very low chair or stool, SO
low that a brush held in the hand can
easily reach the floor without STOPPING,
and, by moving the chair along, the
entire surface of the floor can be easily
covered first with the yarnish and af-
terward, when dry. with the wax.
Where a heavy weighted floor brush is
not available, the old French way may
be substituted. e., wrapping up the
feet in flannel and shutting over the
floor or skating on brush. 1t is funny
to see a servant who has been trained
to wax floors in this way in Europe at
his work, performing sort of shutfling
dance over the floor, with his feet Look
ing like pudding bags and his eyes fixed
on vacancy, as he solemnly dances ito
and fro. quite unconscious of the laugh.
able spectacle he presents.

To misplace kitchen fork or spoon
may burn to a cinder the most care
fully prepared dish. The convenient
holder lost from its nail may burn the
cake or burn the pie, and incense the
cook. A cook table, full Of drawers,
where flour, spices, rolling pins and
cake cutters are kept, with bake pans
hanging over it, will save you miles of
travel and hours of time A small
shelf near the stove, kept for extra salt
and pepper, will save you fifty miles
of travel in ten years. Only for one
day, count how many times you go
from cook table to stove, seasoning
various dishes, and you will see what
this means. In finding places for
kitchen utensils study every time to
place them where it will take the
fewest steps to reach them.
