HOMES LACKING TASTE.

Beauty and Restfu1ness Sacrificed to
Useless Things and Brio Brac.
The art of house furnishing is little
known in this country, especially
among the vulgar rich, says a woman
whose home is known for its beauty
and restfulness. The last thing that
seems to be considered in their ar
rangement Is the convenience of the
occupants. To judge merely from ap-
pearances, one would think that they
were designed to serve as showrooms
for furniture and bric-a-brac and fancy
work, and that the inmates were only
there on sufferance, because they had
to have some refuge from the wind
and weather and no other domicile
could be found. "Most women" our
authority observes, treat their homes
as storehouses or museums, and the
more things they can crowd into them
the better they are pleased. They pre-
fer to have the things where they can
be seen, If possible, but when no more
space Is left and not a corner Is avail
able for even photograph or china
dog they will pack them away in chests
and closets and go on accumulating.
They may have no time for reading or
recreation or even for the proper care
of their own persons, but that fact
never deters them from adding to the
number of their household gods and to
the already intolerable task Of taking
care of them.
Mrs. Oliphant, in one Of her stories,
! tells of a vulgar rich man who liked
to have costly and useless things about
him. He saw no beauty in the Turner
| which adorned his drawing room, but
| 1t was sweet to him to think that he
was able to hang up thousands OF
| pounds, so to speak, upon his walls
It is perhaps something of this feeling
that makes women turn their homes
into museums. In a country where SO
many people have become suddenly
rich or have been raised from poverty
to comparative affluence, possession is
such an unfamiliar thing that it seems
to please in itself, apart from any val
| ue In the articles possessed, and people
who cannot have the satisfaction OF
possessing costly and useless things
find some consolation in an innumera
BILE number of cheap and useless, If not
cheap and nasty, articles. In Older
countries, where rapid changes of in
come are not so frequent, one sees less
Of this desire for display, and in En-
| glish homes, for instance, there Is {
comfort and restfulHess, and coDse
| quently beauty, even in the midst OF
shabbiness, which is little known IL
America." Chicago Chronicle.

Concerning Bees.

There is fault often unknown and
not suspected in the late swarms,
which is that the queens which go out
with them may not be fertile, and if
they come out after the drones have
been killed off they cannot. lay fertile
eggs, but only such as produce drones-
She cannot be distinguished from a fer
tile queen, but the drOne cells can be
distinguished from worker cells by the
rounded appearance of the cap over
them. If only such are found, destroy
the queen at once, and either give the
colony another queen or divide the
bees that remain and the honey among
other colonies, destroying the drone
brood by uncapping it and shaking out
the larva If in cells of the worker
bee size, it may be useful to put in
other hives next spring, but If in the
regular cell of the drone bee, it is best
to make wax of it, unless some may
be saved to put in the frames of the
best colonies that one may want to
raise male bees from.-American Culti-
VatOr
